Aaron Butterworth: Waking Up After a Lifetime Inside

"It truly is an evil cult."


I was born into [the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization].

I woke up at 46.

I started researching.

I decided to write a letter of disassociation [a formal letter notifying the congregation that I no longer wanted to be considered one of Jehovah’s Witnesses].

I lost everyone and everything.

I ended up twice in a mental institution.

I tried to kill myself but was found in time, so I’m still alive.

It was the hardest part of my life, but through that pain, I found true love, as my previous marriage had failed.

It truly is an evil cult.
