Born Into A Cult

A Poem by RyanTrolley

I was a Jehovah’s Witness for 30y. I wrote this because I had found out It was a cult & also discovered many more disturbing things about it. It’s all about getting my family out now!

I was Born into a cult,
Only realising when I became an adult.

They have you from birth and don't waste any time,
Looking back, what they did to me was a crime.

Born and raised a Jehovah’s Witnesses,
I’m realising now that it’s just a business.

They take your childhood away,
Keeping your thoughts and actions at bay.

Dressed in a suite going door to door,
On a freezing Saturday morning at the age of four.

No questions asked, you do as your told,
Realising now that I was totally controlled.

Armageddon is always just around the bend,
Its drilled in daily that the world just about to end.

“That’s Armageddon sky they would jokingly state”
We better make sure were at the meeting then, this could decide our fate.

Your known as a Jo-Vo when your in school,
Knocking on your friends doors you do look a fool.

Remembering moments that it made me cry,
It’s how I’ll be remembered until the day you die.

Your lucky if your parents let you attend a school,
You don’t need education to clean windows, that can be done by any fool.

“Why are you wearing a suite and whats in your briefcase”?
Ignoring my friends I’d run to the car covering my face.

“Why aren’t you aloud to go into assemblies, is it because of your religion”?
I’ve really no idea, it wasn’t my decision.

“Why don’t you stay celebrate birthdays or Christmas”?
I think it’s because none of them are religious.

“What about Easter, Harvest Festival, Bonfire Night or Halloween”?
No, no, no, all these are pagan and obscene.

After school activities are ALL out of the question,
ALL worldly people are bad association.

No school disco’s, proms or even school trips,
It was as if I was hanging out with the bloods or the crips.

Your whole world revolves around this cult and its leaders,
Everything has to be approved or looked up in their “Questions From Readers”

“Your hair is too long, you need to shave your stubble”,
Don’t wear tight jeans or you will be in trouble.

KIDS are actually living this,
its taking the piss.

No dating until your baptised,
It’s a clever plot to get you dunked in disguise.

Now your life is no longer yours,
Your a full time publisher and your job is knocking on doors.

Baptism is a lifelong contract with the Watchtower organisation,
Who sole concern now seems to be on the side globalisation.

Kids as young as eight or nine being dedicated,
No wonder they’re being investigated.

Now everything you do is under surveillance,
Millions of spy’s making sure you conform to all their alterations.

You can only look at their bible,
Its the only one where Jesus is the Arc Angel Michael.

The New World Translation
The only bible to lead you into eternal damnation.

Jesus was just another angel and John 1:1 is mistranslated
Don’t question this or you be working towards being re-instated.

All their prophecies have been proved wrong
but still they cling on singing the same old song.

Why isn’t this enough to leave,
They don’t even know anymore what they believe?

The bible says love your neighbour as yourself,
The Watchtower have a different view and it affects your mental health.

They use your friends and family as leverage to stay,
This is beyond evil and one day they will pay.

I don’t want anyone to experience this,
Your family will pretend you don’t exist.

They forget about the example of the prodigal son,
The father ran to welcome him back he definitely didn’t shun.

This needs to stop, Watchtower put your debunked doctrines aside,
Children are committing suicide.

They can be compared to some of the worst gangs in history,
Just like them you cause so much misery

Watchtower is run on fear, intimidation and money throughout all nations,
They’ll only look after you once they’ve received your donations.

Apparently The light keeps getting brighter?
I think they need a new Watchtower writer.

They harbour Paedophiles and hide there details,
These animals should be rotting in our jails.

Now excepting transplants and blood fractions but still No whole blood,
The whole thing is about as clear as mud.

Countless people died believing saying no to blood was right,
If only they had waited as the teaching changed over night.

Think about these children the next time they knock at your door,
Who’s accountable for all the dead kids on the front page of the awake of 1994?

When you wake up it’s a tsunami of emotion,
Your Happy, Sad, Confused and Angry all at the same time, it’s like a explosion.

It takes a while to work through these like stages of grief,
It’s so difficult to do when your family speaks so highly of the thief.

But along with a growing number of XJWs who have took up the fight,
I’m going to do my best to bring them into the spot light.

The gloves are off and their letters and literature is online for all to see,
This shows how wicked they are and their continued hypocrisy.

I’m blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and an amazing wife,
Whatever they believe or choose to do I’ll be here for them, for life

The elders bullied me into getting baptised,
Just so i could ask my girlfriend to become my wife.

Christ has been replaced by the fateful slave,
they taken away his deity and the life that he gave.

He’s only ever mentioned at the end of a prayer,
It’s obvious that the love of Christ isn’t there.

If anyone needs a Watchtower it’s these men, similar to the original serpent or snake,
They can’t see it coming but soon they will realise how many people are Awake.
