It is with a heavy heart I write this letter. I love each and every person I am sending this to. I consider you my brothers and sisters in the faith.
I had an experience in Pioneer school that woke me up to many things I find wrong in the organization.
This letter is not to outline what my research revealed since then. I think that is a personal journey one must choose to take up.
The purpose of this letter is to let you know that I am spiritually healthy. I love Jehovah more than ever and I love his son Jesus in a way I never did before. I understand and experience the holy spirit differently too. My prayer life is good and I'm raising my kids to love Jehovah and his son and to have real relationships with them via the holy spirit. I have a ministry that has been a blessing to me and those it serves.
I wanted a chance to let you know I have committed no gross sin. If you have encountered me in the last 16 months you have no doubt found me to be the same kind, generous, loving person you've always known.
I maintain that I am not an apostate of the true teachings of Jesus. I may be an apostate (one who leaves their former religion) of the organization called Jehovah's Witnesses. I maintain that I am still a witness of Jehovah and Jesus and the truth - just not in association with the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
I know that your trust and allegiance to the governing body and their rules will require that you no longer speak to me now that an official announcement has been made.
I implore you to do your own research. The first sign of a high-control group is telling you to not look outside the organization for information. To label all such information as "apostate lies" is unfounded. Don't fall for this. Use the brain God gave you. Critical thinking is not a dirty word - it is a biblical requirement. (1 Thessalonians 5:21 "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine.") When we aren't allowed to question or challenge narratives, we ought to be suspicious because truth can always withstand scrutiny.
I also do not require "discipline from Jehovah" in the form of shunning as I have committed no gross sin. I simply have chosen to get under Christ's yoke instead of an organization's yoke. That is what he told us to do. Your shunning me will not cause me to "come back to Jehovah" as I am already with him - nor will it cause me to come back to the organization. I would be willing to fellowship and talk about our wonderful creator and his son but alas that is not allowed in this organization.
I have love for you all and pray you will be called out to see the real truth as I was. May Jehovah bless you all and may his holy spirit open your eyes.
If you do have questions for me I would be happy to discuss with you - privately of course. You can call, text or whatsapp me at +1-609-992-7199. When you are ready I will welcome you with open arms.
With deep love and gratitude - your fellow witness of Jehovah,
Laureen Jandroep a.k.a. Lori Jane
