What do I believe? How do I rebuild?For me, books became lifelines. Authors like Mel Robbins and Viola Davis gave me practical tools for growth and self-confidence. And even in fiction, I found truth — Carl Weber’s novels opened my eyes to real-world situations, relationships, and critical thinking in ways the Watchtower never allowed.📚 These stories showed me that wisdom isn’t limited to “approved” books. There’s truth in fiction, healing in storytelling, and strength in voices outside the organization.✨ If you’re leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses or learning how to thrive after Watchtower, this video will remind you: you’re not alone, and the right voices can help guide your path.Recommended BooksMel Robbins - Let Them - https://a.co/d/8TtUHmx (audio book)The Heart in the Bottle, Oliver Jeffers - https://a.co/d/hNqeFNc (paperback)Finding Me: A Memoir, Viola Davis - https://a.co/d/i7SHg4W (audio book)Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, 50 Cent - https://a.co/d/6RbJVn7 (audio book)

The Real Truth About Marrying a Jehovahs Witness Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2025-08-21 | #ladyceehiddenstruggles #exjwsthink #exjwcriticalthinker #exjw #exjwsupport #jwmarriage #jehovahswitnesses Michael thought marriage meant building a life together. Before they married, his wife celebrated birthdays and holidays just like anyone else. But after the wedding, everything changed—she went back to Jehovah’s Witnesses, bringing with her a strict set of rules and beliefs he never saw coming.At first, it looked like a normal weekly church routine. But soon the rules, restrictions, and control took over their home, their celebrations, and eventually, their marriage.In this interview, Michael shares what it’s really like to discover the hidden world of Jehovah’s Witnesses after you say “I do.”This story sheds light on something many don’t talk about:The large number of women inside the Jehovah’s Witness organization compared to men.Why some women marry outside the faith, only to return later.How those choices can create real struggles in marriage — and, in some cases, bring it to an end.This was one of the most organic and powerful conversations we’ve had on Hidden Struggles. My guest brought honesty, humor, and raw truth to the table, and I think you’ll really connect with his story.⚡ If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to marry someone inside this high-control religion—or if you’ve lived through it yourself—you’ll relate to Michael’s story.👉 Subscribe for more real stories exposing Jehovah’s Witnesses and the hidden impact of Watchtower control.🔔 Hit the notification bell so you won’t miss what’s coming next.📌 Support Our WorkMerch Store: [hidden-struggles1.myspreadshop.com]

Jehovahs Witnesses: Stop Blaming the Brothers: A Watchtower Rant Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2025-01-20 | #ExJW #WatchtowerHistory #1975 #exjwsthink It's shocking to hear people still defending the Watchtower's 1975 predictions by claiming it was just "some brothers" who said the end was coming. Let’s set the record straight: The Governing Body may not have explicitly written it in a Watchtower article, but the rhetoric and the culture they promoted were crystal clear. Families sacrificed everything—jobs, education, even retirement funds—based on the belief that Armageddon was imminent.In this video, I break down why the narrative that "the brothers misunderstood" is not only dismissive but insulting to those who lived through the manipulation. We’re calling out the gaslighting, the refusal to take accountability, and the continued silencing of legitimate questions.🔹 Why people quit jobs and education in the 70s🔹 The financial and emotional toll on families🔹 How this mentality drove people to give up their future for false promisesIf you’ve ever been told that you "didn’t hear what you heard," this video is for you.

The Psychology of Fear: Little Albert vs Jehovahs Witnesses Classical Conditioning Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2025-01-06 | #exjwsthink #exjw #exjwcriticalthinker #fearsHave you ever wondered how fears are created and used to control people? In this video, we dive into the Little Albert experiment, a landmark 1920 study by John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner that demonstrated how fear can be conditioned. Using classical conditioning, they turned a neutral white rat into a source of fear for an infant named Albert—showing how fear can be learned and even generalized to similar objects.But the story doesn’t stop there. Through interwoven clips of powerful Jehovah’s Witness testimonials, we uncover how high-control groups like the Watchtower use similar fear-conditioning techniques to manipulate their members. Hear firsthand how fear of Armageddon, rejection, and punishment is instilled and reinforced to maintain control.This video sheds light on the psychology of fear, its impact on behavior, and the experiences of those who’ve broken free. If you’re curious about the intersection of psychology and high-control groups, this is a must-watch.🎥 Watch now and share your thoughts in the comments below!

Jehovahs Witnesses: Loyalty to God or the Organization Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2024-12-11 | In this video, I respond to the story of Roman Gumenyuk, a Jehovah’s Witness in Russia who received a suspended five-year prison sentence for practicing his faith. Roman’s heartfelt statement in court highlights his loyalty to Jehovah despite persecution, but it also raises important questions about faith, integrity, and indoctrination.As someone who spent over 30 years in the organization, I explore the deeper implications of stories like Roman’s and how they’re used by the Watchtower to reinforce obedience and loyalty to the group. Is this unwavering dedication a testament to genuine faith, or does it reflect years of conditioning?Join me as I take a compassionate but critical look at this story, unpack the Watchtower’s narrative around persecution, and encourage critical thinking for those who have left or are questioning.💬 Let’s continue the conversation: What are your thoughts on Roman’s story and the way the Watchtower frames loyalty?

Are Jehovahs Witnesses Allowed to Vote in Elections Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2024-11-03 | send us an email to myhiddenstruggles@gmail.com (buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2025782/open_sms) In this episode, I explore how Jehovah's Witnesses are raised to view voting as incompatible with their beliefs. Growing up as a Witness, I was told that even participating in student council elections was discouraged, as it was seen as a steppingstone to “real” politics. Jehovah's Witnesses believe in waiting solely for God's Kingdom to rule and are taught not to place their trust in human governments. But what are the real-life consequences of this approach?I share my thoughts on how this mindset can lead to missed opportunities and critical voices being left unheard. For example, imagine 500 people who rely on essential benefits but choose not to vote, believing their voice doesn’t matter, while a few supporters of an opposing candidate turn out to vote, ultimately deciding the outcome. It's a powerful reminder of what can be lost when people feel discouraged from participating in government.I also discuss the risks Jehovah’s Witnesses face if they do choose to vote and how they could face disassociation from the organization if they’re found out. Join me as I break down the implications of this policy and reflect on its personal and societal impact.Support the show (buzzsprout.com/2025782/support)

It's a powerful reminder of what can be lost when people feel discouraged from participating in government.I also discuss the risks Jehovah’s Witnesses face if they do choose to vote and how they could face disassociation from the organization if they’re found out. Join me as I break down the implications of this policy and reflect on its personal and societal impact.★ VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttp://www.hiddenstruggles.com ★SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELhttp://bit.ly/2nLtt0E ★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM★LIKE US ON FACEBOOKfacebook.com/LadyCeeMitch ✰✰ EMAIL: info@hiddenstruggles.com
Jehovahs Witnesses: New Governing Body Members the Melatonin Miracle? Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2024-10-09 | #exjwsthink #exjw #exjwcriticalthinker #ladyceehiddenstruggles In this video, Lady Cee dives into the latest additions to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses and raises some questions about the process. How young are they? What’s the story behind their anointment? Lady Cee shares her theory (with a dash of humor) about how the Watchtower teaches that people become anointed because others have fallen away. She jokingly suggests that during a meeting, the Governing Body told non-anointed brothers to go home and pray about being anointed—after a dose of melatonin, two brothers came back claiming their new status, and now they’re part of the Governing Body! Why did they pick two more Caucasian brothers? Lady Cee throws in some light-hearted humor, suggesting that maybe the black brothers said, "We ain’t playing with the Lord like that. We may be lying about other stuff, but not this!" ★ VISIT OUR WEBSITE http://www.hiddenstruggles.com ★SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL http://bit.ly/2nLtt0E ★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM @hiddenstruggles101★LIKE US ON FACEBOOK facebook.com/LadyCeeMitch ✰✰ EMAIL: info@hiddenstruggles.com

Jehovahs Witness Prisoners: Abandoned by the Governing Body! Prayers Only??? Lady Cee Hidden Struggles 2024-07-15 | In this video, we uncover the harsh reality behind the Watchtower Society’s treatment of its members who face imprisonment for adhering to its teachings. Despite promoting unity and support within the community, the Governing Body fails to organize any monetary or tangible aid for those suffering in prison. Join us as we explore this shocking neglect and question the trustworthiness of an organization that abandons its most vulnerable followers. Don't miss this critical examination of the Watchtower's priorities and actions.Announcements and Reminders July 2024 FOR CONGREGATIONS 1. Writing to Imprisoned Brothers: Many publishers have inquired about sending letters to brothers who are imprisoned for their faith. There is no arrangement for the branch office to provide addresses for these brothers or to forward personal letters, packages, or gifts to them. Thus, it would not be appropriate to organize groups or campaigns for the purpose of writing to imprisoned brothers unless instructed by your branch office to do so. 2. We commend you for 'keeping in mind' our brothers who are imprisoned for their faith. Heb. 13:3 In the first century, imprisoned brothers such as Peter and Paul were greatly helped by the prayers of fellow believers. (Read Acts 12:5.) May we never cease praying in behalf of our dear imprisoned brothers, trusting that Jehovah will give them the strength to endure! -Eph. 6:18; Heb. 10:34. 3. Exhibits at Canada Bethel: We are pleased to announce that all three exhibits at Canada Bethel are now open! As previously announced, the exhibits are: 1 Light of Truth Brightens the Canadian Landscape, 2 The Word of God Endures Forever-The Bible in Canada, and 3 Courage to Stand Firm in a Time of Trial. One group who recently visited expressed: 'We were touched by the accounts of the many Canadian brothers and sisters who remained loyal to Jehovah despite opposition and persecution. We are grateful for the efforts made to preserve this information." To book a tour, please visit jw.org | About Us | Bethel Tours. We are confident that these exhibits will strengthen your faith and appreciation for our spiritual heritage.
