Two years ago today, I woke up from my indoctrination of a destructive Christian doomsday cult. I have lost all of my friends and most of my family as the result, but I have made so many new friends and family in the gaming culture. Something I was not allowed to do while still a member.6yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/gaming
My wife and I left three and half years ago. She was a pioneer for over 18 years, but always wanted to go to a university, something that she was not allowed to do as a teenager. Yesterday she was able to finish that goal, she graduated from WGU with a degree in healthcare management!5yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw

Two years ago this week I helped organize, set up, and pay for a booth at the York Fair. There were 6 people in it for 12 hours a day for 10 days, and not one bible study was started! What a waste of time and effort. I am so glad I am awake and not flushing my life away.7yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw

This picture was taken in 1982. It is my parents and all of my uncles and aunts on my father side. 5 out of the 6 men are elders, 3 men and 1 woman served at bethel. Two are missionaries, and all 12 pioneered at one time. They are all shunning me! But I don't care! This is my really family here!7yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw
Does anything one see anything wrong with this picture? How could this happen at Jehovah's world headquarters!8yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw
I found this on my phone. It was sent to me over two years ago. I thought I had deleted all of my jw contacts. This just shows that bethel does not care about any of its workers. 20 years of working for nothing and then you are homeless.6yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw
I have been collecting for two years, please tell me what you think of my collection?6yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/Steelbooks

With the thought in mind of the watchtower drain covers at Warwick I found this in my pictures. This is Wallkill in 2007. They spent the money to have their logo on the caps. Because that is what Jehovah wants.8yr ⋅ exElder_Hawk ⋅ r/exjw
