Support

JW.support was created to provide assistance to anyone going through the difficult process of coming to the realization that Jehovah’s Witnesses do not have the truth. It is particularly dedicated to youth who often have few options to leave if still living at home. Similar difficulties face those married when the spouse is a firm believer.

Depression and thoughts of suicide are not uncommon during the initial stages of feeling trapped in a religion you no longer believe. We want to provide every assistance to guide and support you through this period, and assure you that there is a bright future ahead. This is particularly so if you take the time to learn from the experiences of others, and reach out to all the caring people that want to help. 

Despite what Watchtower teaches, there are many people that care and are willing to help you. Some work at your school, others in the medical community, often providing free assistance. Former Jehovah’s Witnesses understand you like no one else can, knowing from their own experience how hard it is to break free from a high control religious group. Many offer advice on internet forums, and arrange meet up gatherings in cities around the world. 

The articles in this section are designed to help you understand your feelings, what to expect for the future, and find resources that are available when you feel unable to cope.
