Leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses comes with questions nobody prepared us for: Who am I? 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.
