ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses for Haiti
The recent and devastating earthquake in Haiti needs no introduction. We have all seen the heartbreaking and almost incomprehensible images in the news. I am here to tell you about a movement that is being organized by a number of former Jehovah’s Witnesses from around the world.
Our aim? To rally other ex Jehovah’s Witnesses to stand up and support Haitian Earthquake survivors. When we were still Jehovah’s Witnesses few if any of us ever donated humanitarian aid. Any aid that was given through the world headquarters of the Watchtower Society was primarily given only to other Jehovah’s Witnesses to the exclusion of anyone and everyone else. And as individuals we were discouraged from donating to other “secular” aid organizations. In fact, during times of disaster or calamity we were often excited, thinking that world events were catalysts to the “end of the system of things.” No longer suffering from that delusion, we can recognize this disaster for what it is and pitch in to help.
In the aftermath of this horrendous disaster the Watchtower Society made an official statement saying that they are praying for the Witnesses in Haiti. It remains to be seen if they will ‘offer’ anything else, or if they will contribute to the desperate population at large.
Those millions of us around the world who have freed ourselves from the destructive organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses now have the opportunity to help our fellow man. We no longer need sit on the sidelines and watch this devastation occur and do absolutely nothing about it. We have rejoined humanity and now we can assist it. We do not need an organization to make us moral people. We have the ability to think for ourselves and do what’s right at the right time.
I ask you now to join me by donating to those in need in Haiti. We have setup a website that will provide information about a number of charities that we believe can offer the most immediate assistance and the most impact to those on the ground, right now. The website is called exjws4haiti.com. We will not be accepting donations directly, but will provide you with information and direct links to make donations directly to the relief organizations. This way aid will reach the people who need it much faster and without any interference or delays. Thanks to modern technology we will be able to keep track of donations and will post that information regularly on the website.
Our purpose is simple. We are aiming to mobilize our community. We are calling out to our peers, other former Jehovah’s Witnesses from all walks of life. Often, we consider ourselves victims, but right now we can rise up and be givers. Please join us in making a donation to aid organizations who can provide relief and support to Haitian Earthquake survivors.
From one human being to another, thank you in advance for your generosity. We never know when the tables might be turned and it is you or I who need the charity of others. I hope that never is the case but please, if you are able, help Haiti.

Who is delusional here?
You guys cen’t be serious!!!
By doing this you are not only discrediting the only organization that provides 100% of the donations received to actual victims of the disaster, but you are encouraging fraud by religious organizations that are waiting to profit from naive people donations.
Get a job
It is so sad for someone who has tasted the truth to now come out in public to say things against an organosation being backed by Jehovah’s holy spirit.
Such statememnts clearly shows that you have the spirit of the world in you. There is no difference with you and the men in the time of Apostle John who were saying they wont listen to his writings from God.
Am so sorry for you cause you are simply constituting yourself as an APOSTATE
John and Henry: you good JW’s, how so unsurprising that you immediately belittle anyone’s efforts to do somehting without you all. Humanitarian aid should not be bound to your religion… people can think for themselves you know, and still be good people, you should take some lessons before you condemn others. You both should be reaching deep then into you pockets and put your money where your mouth is. How about it?!
I must agree, how on earth can you allow a society to control where and when you will donate your money? it is not the Living God that backs the society, but human minds conditioning others to believe what they feel is necessary.
I am so grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ for enlightening these exjw’s to finally take a stand against a society that refuses to see the truth and therefore hinders all from receiving the true blessings of Christ.
Tasted the truth? Are you mad? The truth is this: Jehovah’s Witnesses belong to a cult, period.
when i was a jehovah witness i had this guy that was a jehovah witness come to my house he knew i was single he said you want me don’t you i had to lock my doors i got scared never went back to the kingdom hall they got some weirdo’s when i moved i contacted the elders and said i wanted to go back they said i don’t care what you do boy i said i guess no matter where you go they will be watching you very closly so all teenagers are being watched they use teenagers to go back and tell the elders your every move be careful.
Well, over a month has passed and the ex-JW’s have generously given $4750. True, they failed to reach their target of $10,000, but what they have given is better than nothing.
But why is it necessary for ex-Witnesses, ex-Catholics or ex-anything else to have an organization in order to collect money? Why wouldn’t each individual just give to one of the many existing charities? Or will ex-Witnesses only give to Haiti if they can use it as a means of scoring points against the Watch Tower? If they would have given anyway, then what is the point of this site?
This really does look awfully like a botched attempt to gain the moral high ground. “Hey, everyone! Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t the only ones giving to Haiti, we do too!”
So, while others were using earthquake victims to advance their bitter agenda of hate against their former coreligionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been really helping.
No, they didn’t appeal to the public for money. They didn’t even appeal to their own members. They just used the funds already collected to arrange aid. Naturally, they were among the first there, because they didn’t have to wait for the funds to be donated. Officials and aid workers have been quoted in the French press of having to beg or borrow supplies and medicines from Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I am so happy and grateful to be part of an organization like that.
How much aid have Jehovah’s Witnesses been rendering to the countless Haitians severely injured in the earthquake who desperately need blood transfusions?
i am happy not as ex-jw but as jw. we should be a witness to jah every time in ourlives. God as clearly shown that he is using the wt to dispense spiritual food to his sheep in this time of the end. it’s a pity that those of you who called yourselves ex-jw are speaking out of anger and frustration. well you may have a personal fracas againt a fellow believer, but the organisation does not condone wrongdoing and it has been maintaing its santity for ages. you can never do better isolating yourselves from the organisation. you can only suffer spiritual danger. for your good reexamine your intention and heart. in the area of relief aid, the organisation has been standing out when ever there is disaster. their aid has always been benefited by non witnesses. even if the reason is to help believer as commanded by the scripture but the plight of non-believer is not always left out.
don’t be frustrated and talk thoughtlessly.
It’s interesting how many JW’s do not know how to spell……
