TC, what's your personal experience as a Jehovah Witness?

My Mexican side is Jehovah Witness and I have no bad experiences and nothing aside from the rule nobody followed of "don't hang out with worldly people" felt culty. My family definitely aren't culty. They're mostly drunks. I was never presdured to treat it anything more than a regular church. Basically just "be quiet and pay attention" like you'd hear at at school or anywhere else as a kid. I feel like with most religions, it really just matter was congregation you end up with. I stopped going in my later teens and nobody abandoned me or showed me any less love in my extended family. I'm very curious what your personal experience was.

Also, I'll watch this after I get some sleep.

Were you baptized? A lot of JW's are half-in/half-out, so def it's going to depend. I wasn't baptized so I couldn't be disfellowshipped regardless. If you're interested in hearing more stories from people who left the religion, there's a ton of content out there. Leah Remini did a special episode of her scientology series about JWs. I think it's on Netflix.
