New Video Testimonial Released: "...I Was Next In Line To Become An Elder. Then I Wrote This Letter To Watchtower!"

This video was released on September 20th, 2026 and has 560 Views by "Our Faith On Fire" on YouTube.

I was a Ministerial Servant in Jehovah’s Witnesses, known for public speaking and considered “next in line” to become an elder.

Then I started finding things I could no longer reconcile with Scripture.

This is the actual “Exit Letter” I wrote to Jehovah’s Witnesses headquarters in New York.

In this letter, I explain the concerns that ultimately forced me to confront what I believed about the New World Translation, Watchtower doctrine, the organization’s handling of abuse (CSA), and most importantly, where I believed truth could actually be found.

As I read this letter, I’m not just revisiting the reasons I left. I’m revisiting the moment I realized that finding truth wasn’t about finding the right religion.

It was about finding Jesus.

If you’re a current Jehovah’s Witness questioning what you’ve been taught, an ex-JW rebuilding your faith, or a Christian who has ever wondered where religion ends and genuine faith begins, I hope this story gives you something to think about.

This is my letter.

This is why I wrote it.

And this is what I found on the other side.
