You are never too old to enjoy life to the full. We love music and founded our Hi-Fi Import company PQ Imports 35 years ago & several Hi-Fi stores before that.
My passion is for vinyl LP records played back via tube electronics and rather large speakers with a pair of REL subwoofers. I have loved rock music since the 1960's.
I will share some tips and hints on getting better sound out of your stereo system and some of the music that I enjoy.
We discovered that we had been raised in a cult (Jehovahs Witnesses) when we were in our 60's... (yes we were slow to wise up).
On our channel we will discuss what led us to wake up to the fact that our religion was actually a cult, how we exited from it, and our life and adventures since. Joy & I ride our own motorbikes & love getting out on them, motorbike touring / off-road & gravel riding on our adventure bikes and camping.
We will share our rides, travels and the great friends that we have made along the way.
Enjoy!

JW's do shunning by consent and its very weak and not of good character. Its on all of them, from the WT organisation down to the individual community members around the local congregation. They are a target ripe for litigation. Look to the novel tort of psychiatric harm, also undue influence (thinks family members, deceased estates etc).
Why dont you get rid of the annoying Spotify tab?
It was just a unit that I opened to show how it worked, it would have been removed if I had been keeping it. My regular streamer is a T+A MP3100HV, sans any stickers!
Oh baby! This is phenomenal. Superb detail, imaging, separation, speed, dynamics and BASS! The Crystal Method is new music for me. In Your Eyes is a spectacular musical and sonic experience. Tony Levin is the MAN.
Hi 👋 I still listen to mtgs bc I want to be in the know of updates and such. Today's watchtower was just basically telling ones not to listen to any outside influences. The gb is obviously aware of what's happening with one's waking up to things! 🙄 The watchtower... if your eyes and ears are actually open... you can see and hear just how backward it was! 🤷♀️ I'm still educating myself to see the truth... not just what some men tell me! 😒
Oh, I was part of one that was also sold off and forcing members to travel quite a ways, even under dangerous conditions, to get to another hall! Older ones were forced to either get help in traveling or only listen in! The travel was at least an hour, 1 way for many, and even longer when the weather or traffic was bad! 😢 Is this "loving"??? I think not!!! 🤔
@@tc64 the more you examine, the more clearly you see how shaky the house of cards really is. We are very happy to have been fully out for almost 10 years now.
The two of you are lovely folks, very genuine. I've had my own questioning and back in 1975 I seen my father stand steadfast when the elders had told him he MUST sell our large grain farm for the end is here! My father said "No, how shall I feed my family!" What I really disliked over the years is of the many times the "END was HERE!" and of the dates and calculations spoken of such as the banding of the tree and whatnot and no statement of apology when such did not come to be. Okay, BUT, I truly believe anxious anticipation was upon the people, do I hold them in disregard for such, no I do not, they are just human and advised by an imperfect, though best intent governing body, EVEN if stating to be directed by Jehovah. What has gotten me again more drawn in is not of what of late has been preached, but instead the world events unfolding, the horrific intense fires and devasting flooding occurring on a daily basis ... BUT, very importantly the uprising of Russia and its allies coming to light .... yes, the King of the North, (Russia and allies) and the King of the South (US and allies) are staring one another down and it appears conflict is inevitable. Now, is this just simply by chance, OR as foretold, it truly is the unfolding of prophecy! You know, just a handful of months prior to COVID, I had come out of the grocery store with a big cart of groceries and thinking that prices sure were not terribly bad at all and the world in general in a decent good place that I could NOT foresee any possibility of Armageddon for 30 years .... oh, my gosh, how things changed in just a few years! The organization is not perfect, but God's word is and we are truly on the cusp of there being no doubt of bible prophecy!
Hello Paul and Joy. I hope you are both doing very well. I am pleased to let you know that my 86-year-old father has woken up. I don’t know what his next steps are and I don’t even know if he knows what his next steps are. I feel very sad for him having been baptized since 1970.
Paul Joy, do you have any plans to do an update video? It would be wonderful to see and hear you both again. Thankyou.
Oh, by the way, what caused my father to wake up, started with him being dragged into a zoom meeting with two elders two years ago because he mentioned to another publisher that he wasn’t for the masqs or jaabs and that publisher reported him to the elders, who subsequently determined that my father was no longer an “exemplary publisher”….at 84 years old after 52 years in. I had never even heard of this “marking” and had to ask my father what it meant. He told me that it’s pretty much the same as soft shunning. Unbelievable!
Never seen anyone make a simple job look so difficult lol. Almost whacked the table damaging the edge of the woodwork twice. Excellent speakers though, I love my Pro-Ac's
This is a job that is normally done by 2 people, but this was filmed in 2020 during COVID lockdown, so I was on my own. I have never damaged a Proac in 40 years of unpacking them.

Hi there you 2, i met you both in the plant barn in Auckland a few yrs ago as ex jws. I thought you might be interested in our government wanting to know stuff about the org. Hae a look a Fixing my faith on you tube , done today. It has all the details. Hope life finds you both well ❤
We are both very well, the happiest we have ever been, having fun, travelling, riding motorbikes - making new friends. All good!
Jehovah Jehovah will never die
He’s dead as far as we are concerned (if he ever existed that is).
Hello Paul and Joy, do you / did you have relatives in Christchurch and in Greymouth? Chat soon regards Anneke
Hi Anneke, no, we do not have any relatives that we know about in either of those areas.
Thankyou for feedback, a great many years ago I knew family of same surname and also a " paul" well. Lost touch since I left in 1989. Thankyou for your videos. Warm regards .
we used to live in Tokoroa for many years @@AnnekeWoodhouse
Wow! I wished I had seen this video years ago! How I finally got awakened: Many MARRIED ELDERS and Ministerial Servants in my town were beyond whoreish and HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE with women IN and OUT of the organization. And, if a wife went to the ELDERS about it she was told to sit down and shut up. He's chosen by Jehovah for some reason. If Jehovah needs to discipline him, HE will. And, the Rank & File with their cognitive dissonance go right along with it! SHAMEFUL CHOSEN RELIGION BY THE ONLY TRUE GOD!
Yes, far too many inconsistencies to be taken seriously. Thanks for your comment.
@@pauljoyquilter359 "Far too many inconsistencies!' You hit it on the head!
Watchtower do nothing for anyone. Then they expect members to donate their whole life to the Organisation. This is spiritual prison. I thought about the Religion years ago but there were so many red flags that Im glad I never got involved. One thing about JW's was how negative they were about everything and then there was never anything positive except how good Watchtower and its members were. It is a massive con and a Doomsday Cult. Always going on about the end and everyone being destroyed. I think that now that everyone can see the Governing Body members and know what they really think the Watchtower is doomed. They are failures with the damaging talks and videos they make. I hope the Governments of the world continue to investigate the Organisation and shut it down world wide.
You can guarantee the 5.4 million dollars has gone direct to the world headquarters in the USA. Watchtower has been doing it all over the world. In the UK they owned some very expensive real estate, town houses and a large manor house somewhere in England. That sale was taken out of local hands and the money would have gone to the USA. Kim and Mikey have a few videos of all the real estate that has been sold in the USA and some in other countries and the total that they tallied up was astronomical. Watchtower are thieves from the rank and file and people like yourselves who basically worked for the Organisation for years and Watchtower made a fortune all tax free. Organised crime have got nothing on the way Watchtower operate and they get away with it because they are a Religion and get Charity exemption and funding from the Governments of the world. Stephen Lett has property. He has a real estate portfolio with his brother and I think his family are into real estate also. He is a rich man. So much for the vow of poverty the Governing Body and Bethelites are supposed to live by.
Yes, you are totally correct. They are selling Kingdumb Halls all over the world and still beg for donations. Bunch of con men.
Problem with other forms of donations. They know who donates. With cash, no one knows but God. It is more discreet. Right now, I don't donate. I am not getting my money's worth.

Hi Paul, the same goes for hair, tight pants and any number of styles an "individual" wishes to adopt. I lost myself in this cult for nigh on twenty years. I now have hair well beyond my collar, actually I don't normally do collars since gaining my freedom. Every time I think about getting a haircut, I have a little moment where I think "someone might see me and think I'm going back. I am a happy GOSO Got out, stayed out. Do you still have your bikes ? I've recently got back into adv riding and am loving it.
We still have our bikes - a road bike and an adventure bike each.
@pauljoyquilter359 I think we may have met many years ago. You both seem familiar. I was involved from 1985-2005.
@@LookoutLance - we were in Tokoroa, the Hamilton during that period. We had a Hifi store and I was often in the sound department.
I can't imagine anyone shunning you folks. You are so calm and confident in what you believe. Many of the points you mention are what woke me up as well. I only wish I acted on the first time I started to question. God bless you both!
Thank y'all so much. Every channel helps get the word out! Be blessed
I subbed and enjoy y'all's channel. Thank y'all
I definitely Subscribed. Thank y'all for all you do. I remember 1975!
Hi Paul well said. Iam an ex jw. The thing that always makes me smile is the pictures of the 144,000 Riding Horses at Armageddon including women WEARING BEARDS😂😅
Turn the spigot of love off and on in a heartbeat .....when the Elders say so 😂😂😂........Men who may be removed in a couple of years .....too late ...you shunned someone into suicide ...congrats Warptower 😢 congrats
Thank you 🙏

Thankyou for your work what a bright shiny light you both are 💛
When I was brought up with the teaching that as the anointed was passing away, Armageddon was closer. Just a few years ago, that number was 8,000 and some. Now this year that amount is over 18,000? Hearing that confused me. I'm cautious to ask because I may be questioning the organization. 🤔 It's the feeling that you accept what is said, or you might be thinking independently. 🤷♀️
We all accepted what was taught without questioning because that is how we had been programmed to think and reason. Once you start to question and reason logically the whole house of cards collapses!
WT is a Pharisaical religion. I allowed myself to be deceived for 45 years. One point I take issue with that you make is that they do report csa only if the authorities require it.
Haha that’s exactly what I’m doing right now around australia FREE IN 2023 🤗
O goodness that was amazing thank you so much for sharing that invaluable information. I have 3 adult kids in I have after 10 years of planting seeds feel safe enough now to cut ties and be on the out side waiting for them as I move forward. So much activists work has helped bring to light cult tactics. Steve Hassan a fave🌻 I still have contact with my son who is an elder but the other two are paralysed in fear 😔 I feel safe knowing you are all out there sharing your knowledge so my kids have a safe place to land 💗💕 and heal.
Hi, I remember meeting you at a meet up in auckland. At the time my husband was still a jw, he is very thankfully out now. He sent you a note that he was 54yrs indoctrinated. If you are ever around taranaki would love to catch up again.
We will be down in New Plymouth on 14th & 15th May

I wanted to thank you both for helping me nearly 3 years ago when I woke up. I was 54 years indoctrinated and fear has left me. I made videos since and I remember your channel and how you both affected me. I'm an American who woke up here in New Zealand.
Great to hear! All the best for your new life ahead.
Israel is ISIS AMUNRA ELOHIM
I was raised in this religion. I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. Couldn't associate with the people at school, they were 'bad associates '. I didn't fit in at the Kingdom Hall either. I was baptized at 16. Tried to pioneer several times. It was never enough. I removed myself in 2018. Made new friends. Not everyone is bad. I discovered much more when I distanced myself. The further away, the clearer the picture. Very few even noticed I'm gone. I'm 52 now, and feel like I'm beginning to live and be free. I've never stopped loving Jehovah. He's been with me every since, and knows my heart. That's what matters to me.
Interesting channel. I've been through all of that and more! Guilt, shame and fear was how I was raised in this arena. No matter what I did, it was never enough. I choose a baptized 'brother' and we never had a minute alone to talk. Because you know, we are so sinful and the urges will override your power of reason and you will sin. I felt sorry for the chaperones, it was like your every move is accounted for. When my husband at the time, didn't attend meetings, somehow it was my fault, and I needed to be the example. Wait, what? Shouldn't he be taking the lead? I could go on for hours about how this guilt, shame and fear molded me. Four years ago, I decided to not go back. To realize that I'm a very good and nice person is so freeing and I don't have to feel so unworthy.

I did home study with JWs in early 70s at age 14, I quit that same year, it was their unpleasant aura and evasiveness, the whole organization is a jinx
Agreed - the Borg is a scam. Glad you avoided the trap.
Dear Joy! Thanks for your sincere sentiment, we love you dear sister, ....you are an example to me...Paul take care of her ....
It never occurs to an indoctrinated member of the religion that when they are going door to door and start having bible studies that when they are telling the potential new person they should listen to them and be meek that the meekness ends after joining. They are told to not listen to a strange voice. They go around in their pride for having their truth and try and dominate any conversation they begin with someone. Pride and arrogance while recruiting and beat down and submissive to the organization. Nobody reads the old testament and asks the question, does this Jehovah deserve love and worship? I think it says more about those that say yes to that question than the bible really says about our creator. Who would want to spend any time with the monster death God let alone worship him?
No point too low, excellent comment 👍
Another scripture say 2 are better than one or else you could be overpowered!
Have you looked at Revelation 11 : 18 and the trashing of the planet that is happening NOW ? That is what being awake is all about - Awake to the times !! Next up, Jehovah's wrath !
These are the same times that Watchtower has been proclaiming since the 1880’s. Do you recall the slogan that Rutherford used in the 1920’s - “Millions now living WILL never die” - all those people died many decades ago, just like those who were promised that those who saw 1914 would see the end… they are all dead too. Failed promises, false prophets, crazy teachings… that is what Watchtower is full of.
Ah! The "words" again... Always just "the words...." 🙄 We are messing the planet up owing to the intelligence your flavour of man-made, geographical and culturally ordained god gave us! Is it against Jehovah's will to flush the toilet, do some washing, buy clothes & drive to a Kingdom Hall that is made from materials that are far from natural & in tune with theml planet? As long as there are humans there will be environmental destruction, no human born in the last 10000 years has been an asset to the planet! *WAKE UP!*
THANK YOU
