Ex-Jehovah's Witness member shares her observations
The former member, @thesoundofchar, noted that she never felt she belonged there even when she smiled, adding that she had a feeling that what the group preached was not 'the truth, but had no idea how to leave them.
She said her matter was made worse with the fact that her father was an elder and allegedly abusive. She further said she couldn't be herself or follow any of her dreams while she was a member of the group.
According to her, Jehovah's Witness dimmed her light and made her wish for death. In her words:
"...Even if I was smiling, I never felt like I belonged.
"I had a feeling it wasn't ''the truth'' but I had no idea how I could escape.
"It didn't help that I had an abusive elder father.
"My whole life I just wanted to feel normal.
"I wasn't able to be me or follow any of the dreams I had.
"It dimmed my light and made me want everyday to be my last..."
Since leaving the group, she claims that her light now shines and she found true happiness.
"But I escaped and you can too.
"My light shines now and I have found true happiness."
She claimed that Jehovah's Witness is a cult.
"There’s so much more to life than the JW cult
"It took a little while and it was a really hard journey. but now i’m living the life i’ve always wanted."

The lady, who posted via her handle @mrszanga, explained that she had been raised in the Jehovah’s Witness faith, although she no longer followed it. She stated that her parents and siblings still adhered to the doctrine, and this affected the way medical decisions were made within her family.
According to her, these decisions to not accept blood transfusion led to a series of heartbreaking losses over the years. She recounted how her brother, who had sickle cell disorder, had fallen critically ill at a young age.
