46:14 of a waste of time 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ the best parts was the broadcast of JW, and the commentator is ignorant what is the point of the whole video 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The example of the abused woman was infuriating!! I remember watching an episode of JW broadcasting years ago and there was a dramatization of Abigail and her POS husband Nabal. It totally persuaded me into believing my husband wasn’t THAT bad. Sure he cheated, and drank too much and was verbally and emotionally abusive but if Jehovah says Abigail endured it, than so can I. 🤦🏻♀️ 5 years down the road, I am happily divorced , and free from this nightmare of a cult. It is terrifying how persuasive the GB is to its members who blindly follow every word they say.
So sorry ❣️❣️❣️. I knew of a sister, married to an alcoholic husband, who would get her kids on the bedroom, put up a mattress against the door to keep him from beating them! Horrendous!
@@ready2danceagain I used to push my dresser against my door with my kids in my bedroom. He’d still get in and wake me up in the middle of the night to fight. I’m Just glad to be free! It’s scary sisters stay in situations like that because they don’t have grounds for divorce.
It all about having control over women.... Beeing a partner is one thing Beeing constantly under the other person massive control it's another situation.... Poor Abigail..... She had a really bad husband GOD knew how bad he was And Jehovah didn't allowed Nabal to continuing alive.... Because he was making Abigail suffer I think the WT man are very emotionally week.... Because they chose certain Bible verses to keep women under their control.... Crist is the appointment Judge for mankind including the GB.
Look Alt, remember, if these "apostates" and activists weren't making progress, there wouldn't be videos like this or like watchtower articles that are coming up. They HAVE to do this because you guys are making g a difference. So, Mr Lett can contort his face and make sheep noises all he wants, it won't stop you from bring to light the shit they want kept in the dark. Good work ALT, keep on keeping on !!!!!!!!
You are right. The number of people actually waking up and leaving the organization is growing everyday. Worse still a large number of people in PIMO state within the organization is also increasing. This is making it really difficult for the organization to control people.
The other thing about the hospital story, is that if Lett is telling the truth, then the hospital is being negligent and likely guilty of medical malpractice. If he'd been more explicit about this story, he'd have opened the organization to being sued for slander.
I don't know how anyone can pay attention, He's so ridiculous that every time he opens his mouth My mind is just full of an internal dialogue between how is this guy for real, how can anyone take this guy seriously, and then I start thinking about personality characteristics that one would have to have to be a Jehovah's Witness, highly conscientious, very agreeable . This is the sort of thing that overtakes me the second this guy says anything. How is this even real
@@farcenter omg you’re literally describing my whole train of thought from start to finish whenever I see him talk, that’s so funny. You’ve hit the nail on the head. My grandparents absolutely adore him as if he’s Christ himself and I’m like “how can you not see what I’m seeing?!”
This Lett guy is SO bizarre, I can’t stop watching him and I cannot comprehend how anyone is so brainwashed as to be able to not laugh out loud at how he speaks, at the freakish facial expressions, and at the massive silliness of what he says. He talks like he’s indoctrinating a three year-old, and I couldn’t STAND being talked to like THAT when I WAS A THREE YEAR-OLD! And grown adults listen to this man and take what he’s saying seriously???
@@judyditmer2589 it’s wild isn’t it? It’s almost like he’s playing a big massive prank on everyone. Like “let me see how ridiculous I can act and see if I can get away with it” type of thing. It would be hilarious if what he was saying wasn’t so damaging
As the late great Terry Pratchett said in Small Gods (which I wholly recommend, and was instrumental in my waking up); "For sheep are stupid, and have to be driven. But goats are intelligent, and need to be led."
i only very recently found your channel, but a lot of your videos have been able to put into words my grievances with the JW religion. I was disfellowshipped at 14 because of my sexuality and have been struggling to find the proper words and expressions to voice my anger with how JWs treat others outside the religion, without just using my sexuality. Thank you so much for what you do AltWorldly, keep on with the incredible work
You can tell that they are trembling, because they know many woke up during the pandemic and not going physically to the meetings.I think the “apostate talks” will be more frequently.
I went to a zoo the other day and they had a little petting zoo area, so naturally I spent my time petting some of the animals. The goats were far more affectionate than the sheep, actively going out of their way to get interaction with people, whereas the sheep just kind of huddled in one corner away from everyone. Furthermore, the goats had far more interesting markings and their horns made them significantly more distinctive, lending them an aura of self-confidence the sheep lacked. They could defend themselves, ergo they could be a little more curious and inquisitive without clinging to the perpetual dread and existential fear the sheep had. This meant the goats were far more pleasant to be around, and substantially more engaging. All this was to transparently build up to an analogy, but I choose not to deliver on it.
Everyday that goes by that I’m farther away from this organization is a better day. Regardless of any shunning or ptsd or mental health that I have to keep an eye on. Leaving these despicable men and this corporation leaves me feeling so happy for the sake of my future children and beyond.
Just wanted to also say Jake that I LOVE your passion in this video. You feel like many of us feel and you make me feel normal for being so angry and upset. Thank you for that too! 😊
43 year old here. Was disfellowshipped at 20 but did not mentally separate until about a month ago. I never went back but I wouldn’t watch anything “negative.” My husband couldn’t call it a cult. I always wanted to give respect. When my eyes were opened, it was like grieving a death. I’m still searching for my truth but these videos help so much. Thank you for helping me really break free. Btw: the overlapping generation?! I just heard about this. Wtf!?🤦🏽♀️
51 year old here, I also left when I was 20, but didn't even think about the organization until family members started to leave, since then I've heard some of their now recent doctrine. The generations thing is them trying to cover up for another Failmageddon. If you follow the silliness out to its eventual conclusion, it buys them another twenty years to pretend they're not lunatics. I still remember the hullabaloo around "stay alive till '75", they've been pulling this shit since they've been around.
The scriptures never speaks about the overlap generation. But WT flank their predictions about saying that Armageddon could come in 1975.... It didn't. So they want to patch their error ?? Probably.. Me?? I was there for 47 years. But when I found out about gross imoralidade done against children. I stopped believe WT. I,m still a Biblia beliver and I read the scriptures frequently. I can see very clear the fulfillment of Crist prophecy about the end times prior to his second coming Matteus chapter 24 Luke chapter 21. But I do feel that what Crist gave to mankind is enough for me. He gave us enough information. Certainly the gospel is wonderful. Thanks for your time.
The elders kept my mother in an abusive marriage with my alcoholic non-believer father. I sought baptism so I could date, so I could marry, so I could escape my home life. No one wanted my baggage. I wasn't suitable for their lives. So I sought dating outside of the organization. And I was stuck in the marriage because I still tried to view it as enduring it
I thought everyone says this group separates you from non believing friends and family, yet you're saying they convinced you to stay with him. So its not true they do that. Also, the bible is very clear about marriage. Sounds like you just disagree with the bible.
"Sheep listen to the voice of their shepherd, and reject the voice of strangers..." Suuuuuuure they do! That's why there are so many sheepherding breeds of DOGS in the world! Sheepherders need the help of dogs to keep the bone-headed sheep from running ALL over tarnation and off cliffs!
It is frustrating...More people will wake up though. Although Im still a believing christian, I do sympathize with you on so many of the things you mentioned in this video. I get why people are Atheist and understand because my husband felt that way for a good while. How they treat people isn't loving... I don't blame anyone who left and thinks differently than I do. Best thing we can do is show them that are still in the org the love that we weren't shown and to keep speaking up. Im sorry your family is still in and I know talks like this are especially frustrating because all of us on the outside know they are bold faced lying. They will have a day of reckoning for it and I have a feeling it won't be much longer. Sending lots of support and hugs from TX from our family to yours!!
This is one of the issues with their low level interpretation of the Bible. When Jesus said divorce is only on the grounds of adultery he was talking to a group of men who were allowing divorce for ridiculous reasons leaving women destitute. That’s what he was correcting. He wasn’t talking to abused women. That’s why you can’t just grab words out and apply them across the board.
Your self proclaimed "manic" energy is incredible here. I loved this video and im going to binge the rest of them. You still got your points across and made me laugh multiple times. Noice! 👍
Exactly, talk to them like they're kids so they depend on what you say for their every need. When I left, I found myself looking for someone to guide me through everything. They want you to feel dependent on them.
I saw clips of this broadcast and I'm just livid. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. WORST!!! Lying about CSA and encouraging abuse victims to endure abuse??? Seriously?!?!?!
Is the Watchtower in the habit of just giving away money. Not a chance. Gee, tell me Stephen Lett, why did Watchtower pay a woman from Montana, 35 million dollars in 2018? I'm gonna guess she was a victim of child sex abuse. Stop lying you F'ing douchebag.
You made so many good points (and made me burst out laughing like you usually do). I am grateful they continue to make big asses out of themselves, hopefully anyone with common sense will have their auto pilot brain stirred by these information control tactics.
This was excellent I had a few chuckles but you were spot on. When I was in one of my "friends" had a baby and they were in bad shape as they lost quite a lot of blood. After the baby was born probably a good 6 or so months I was chatting with her sister who I was also "friends" with, I asked her how soon would they have been able to get the alternatives. Well my question was not answered and was brushed off. You made a fantastic point regarding blood issue in the video, not every hospital will have the resources and at the end of the day if you need blood, you bloody well need it. I found the broadcast quite disturbing and don't get me started on how they like to villifie women. It could be me but when they do these talks it's always the women's fault. If anyone is in an abusive relationship they should not be guilt tripped into staying in an abusive relationship. And the alternative life style good grief they are stuck in the 90s. How about they leave people alone to live their life. 🙄
Did anyone else notice the "guilt gulp" after Stephen Lett said that about such so-called lies? I know that when a person is lying they tend to do a gulp afterwards. Because I do the same thing when I tell a lie.
Add my dad to the list of people who died because of the JW's evil blood policy. He died two days ago. What's crazy is that he wasn't even a baptized JW, and he hadn't associated with them for over 20 years. Yet, he still gave up his life for their teachings. Shows you just how deep their claws can sink into someones mind. Even though he stepped away, they still had a grip on him in the end. He'd still be with me if my words of reason were stronger than the JWs jedi mind tricks. In the end, they won. I pray that these governing body members have to answer to God for all the deaths they are responsible for and all the families they have torn apart.
As a youngster my grandmother had goats on her farm,it tended to be the male Billy goats that would butt you, the female goats didn't really, but the same for sheep a male ram could definitely give you a butt but the girls more timid,so the analogy of goats being more aggressive is wrong
I think you'll like this. When the bible was being preached to islanders in the South Asian seas (who had never seen a sheep) they had to replace references to sheep with references to pigs:leading to the blessing from a preacher ' Lord behold these, thy swine... "
Listen a sister one who I would call my second mother put up with abuse (physical, psychological, sexual, financial) b/c she didn’t have proof her husband cheated on her. She wanted to be “scripturally free” so she didn’t disappoint Jehovah. She stayed for years!! When he finally admitted he cheated on her (with men), THAT’S when she got a divorce. I have stories like these for days. This cult messes w/ peoples lives and I can’t wait to leave
@24:55 forward. "Or that slave will exploit you so they can live lives of luxury..." and the commentary afterwards. It's a good idea to take another look at the historical examples within the Watchtower Society of that behavior, and I'm specifically referring to Joseph F. Rutherford, who occupied relatively modest living space at the Brooklyn Bethel, but had an ornate home built predominantly for his personal use in San Diego (Beth Sarim). It is possible for the Governing Body members to have relatively modest living quarters at Warwick, and have much nicer individual homes tucked away elsewhere. Of course the Watchtower Society would have learned by now to remove all open or obvious references to such properties.
I love that Tony Morris drove past 3 liquor stores(closer to where he lives) to shop at one, and buy very expensive Scotch. Gee, Tony are you afraid to be seen locally spending Watchtower money on booze? Douchebags, all 8 of them.
Sadly, this bs affects our brains long after we've left. For instance, I know the "end of this system," is just a myth, atleast what they teach, but I still have to reassure myself of that.
I agree. My mom still believes in it. They are building a massive media center in Ramapo, NY. It won't be finished for 3 or 4 years. How then, can the end, be just around the corner? Such liars. A horrible cult. Stay strong.
When they say ppl leave to get followers for themselves remind me like when they say ppl go to college to seek fame and fortune. Like nope it’s just to help you have a job. A regular job.
Come now, even preschool teachers don't speak like that to their students. Recent research has shown that if you talk 'baby talk' to kids, it can actually hinder their speech development. They need to be able to see the facial muscles move properly to make the words and hear the sounds of the words as they are meant to be heard. Any principal of a school would not hire a teacher that talked like Lett.
I am recently shunned for leaving my abusive marriage. I have had a miserable life in the “Truth” and nothing but trauma. my entire family including my young daughter has been turned against me - no where to live, lost income, no family. thank goodness for the kindness of some new “worldly” people, if it were not for them I am sure I would have commit suicide
10:40ish.. YES!! My mother and daughter simply do not understand the separation of the “Org” and “Jehovah” (their version of God) they look at it the same totally 100%! If I can get $$ for every time I have been told “You left Jehovah” blah blah Because I left the cult. Yes boys and girls, the Org is a cult by very definition.
This is the first one I cannot watch. I watch the poor Malawi brother re-enactment of him getting attacked with machetes. I watch them most horrific interviews from all types of people and histories. I decided I can take it, because they are expressing their true experiences, even if it was bad, and how they got threw it. How we have hope for the present or future. But the GB and Lett talk absolute lies? I can't look that guy in the face, and I'm happy to look death in the face (reading peoples experiences and how they reflect on it) and take it head on!
Yeah, I feel like you too. I finally came out as POMO to my family Sunday. Guess when the broadcast was released? It's gonna drive my family in deeper. When all these videos/magazines were released while I was in it drove me out (slowly). But I found out all these lies are driving my family in deeper. Crap. I hate these lying "religious" leaders. As I'm out, and I'm happy to burn every bridge now. If you want something totally bizzar, how about someone like me, who's now an atheist who hopes there is a God, as an interview. XD
So good to mention blood products. In Aus a blood product promoted by the hospital liaison committee is not registered and available for use. It requires surgeons to sign off, a form to go to the TGA and then it can be flown into Aus for use.
VERY enjoyable, thanks for doing this vid! Made my anger feel understood.---- Please imitate Carlin lots more, i loved that! ---glad i watched to the end, it's so comical! I needed that laugh♥
There HAS to be some way to get an estimate on the deaths by blood issue. Surely it is approaching Waco/Jonestown numbers now. The JWs downplay it so much, surely a number would provide a bigger jolt than the ARC. Love your work Jake.
I’m a fucking “ human puppet” I LOVE IT! I told hubby 2 nts ago he’s is satan in sheeps clothing! Greereaattt he now will be mesmerized even more so listening to this freak show!
Cultiest (is that even a word?) Video I've seen in a while . Sheep=listen to everything the governing goombahs say, and let them do the thinking for you. And I love the way he totally dismisses the actions of the abusive husband and puts the blame on the wife. I am in law enforcement, and see the devastating effects of domestic abuse. This organization is either oblivious or apathetic to the suffering of those who are in abusive situations.
Ray Franz - Former Governing Body Member. “Months of research were spent on this one subject of “Chronology” and it resulted in the longest article in the Aid publication. Much of the time was spent endeavoring to find proof, some backing in history, for the 607 B.C.E. date so crucial to our calculations for 1914. We found absolutely nothing in support of 607 B.C.E as the date for the destruction of Jerusalem. Everything pointed to a period twenty years shorter than our published chronology claimed. Though I found this disquieting, I wanted to believe that our chronology was right in spite of all the contrary evidence. Thus, in preparing the material for the Aid book, much of the time/space was spent in trying to weaken the credibility of the archeological and historical evidence that would make erroneous our 607 B.C. E. date thus giving a different starting point for our calculations and therefore an ending date different from 1914.” - Crisis of Conscious PG. 29
"He made a serpent appear to talk.....like a venriloquist" no no no bible doesn't say that ....bible says the serpent spoke to eve. Not that satan used a serpent as a puppet. Why do they have to twist something so simple.
Hey Annie I caught that too!! They pick and choose when they wanna believe the Bible. Genesis says the serpent spoke. U either believe it or u don't. U either trust God or you don't.
I feel a wave of hyper vigilant emotions, slightly criminal urges, deep grief and helplessness, pain and regret, feelings of warranted violence, surrender and serenity (god…grant me the serenity…), rage and self loathing, right back around to the delirium of a devil may care attitude and cackling at the silliest things you say. Just about every video… so thanks for the controlled spirals rife with laughs. Keep them coming…maybe one day the intensity of it all will subside 🤔….probably not but 🤷🏾♀️
I'm amazed how JWs can continually look at these televangelist broadcasts, the constant gas lighting, circular logic, doctrinal reversals and e-begging, and not see the org and GB for the shills they are. Also, STOP HATING ON GOATS 😐🐐
I Got a clarification reading and old article Watchtower where they said Beth Sarim was no shanty. However it was forever deeded to David. They also said Rutherfords health issues is why he needed to be at the mansion during the winter.
My Mom disowned me because she is a witness and I never have been. They refuse to see my kids or go to my kids events because they go to a worldly school and Christian Schools. It’s sad for them. I pray for them.
I didn't get a "thumbing his nose at apostates" vibe from Lett's "baaaaaa, poor little sheep..." It felt like he was gloating about having the power of life and death over millions of JWs. It also felt extremely condescending and insulting towards any older teen or adult JW, like being talked down to in an infantile way.
I was a "study" also. They gave up on me because I asked too many questions. I think that the last straw was when I watched the August 2018 talk and they changed 'gifts to men' to 'gifts of men'. Don't recall the verse. They asked if the change made a difference. When I told them yes, they quickly said something like 'well, I don't watch all those talks', or something similar. And that was the last study. 🤷🏻♀️ When they changed the Bible to 'gifts of men', the GB was referring to themselves. (Just to clarify)
I had a study arranged by a relative. But, I was a born in. I heard it all. They tried to get me in the right frame of mind but it just wasn't taking. I kept asking difficult questions for them. Finally, they gave up. We weren't even halfway through the What Does The Bible Really Teach book when they gave up. I was so relieved. I finally approached the relative that arranged the Bible study and told her that I will never become a jehovah witness. That it would never happen. She said, I'm sorry to hear that. Once you get away from the witnesses, I think an extremely few ever go back. I was afraid of hurting her feelings but that band-aid just needed to be ripped off. I had always hoped that she would be able to see through the cult. I don't know if that will ever happen. I still hope that it will happen someday but I have my doubts. It's amazing how intelligent people get sucked into this cult. People who you think that would be hard to fool fall for it. They defend the cult no matter what. It's just incredible.
I can barely even handle how dumbed down these talks are 🥸 how on earth do our loved ones take these freaks seriously even for a second, it's infuriating
When the GB does figure out who Kesha is, they'll disapprove of her. Not because of the content or anything, but for getting out of an abusive relationship. :X
Eh, I'd argue they do live in luxury. A nice, if modest, apartment on lakeside property. Someone that cleans their room and cooks their meals. They fly internationally and have every need met. They don't pay taxes. That's luxurious. Even if they wear knock off rolexes, they're still living better than many of the people who pay for them to live that way.
I was thinking how good the editing was in this video, this was very well done however long it took. Great commentary and observations you bring an interesting angle to them and other cult leaders. Whether leaders of any group believe their own Propaganda they know what they are doing in terms of demonising dissonant voices and anything that threatens their authority and control, but they seem to want to pretend there is this invisible governing body that individually they are not. It’s clever because there is no one to blame for the policies and the collateral.
I would love to know how much research Lett actually did about sheep and goats. It feels like he is working mostly with stereo types regarding sheep. The sheep and goats did not deserve this…
Thanks for being a very articulate ex JW. I do disagree with you that the GB doesn't live in luxury. Maybe we have different definitions of "luxury." The fact is that they don't have to worry about low income, job loss, loss of their home, etc. They have access to free labor to clean their luxury rooms (I think), to do repairs on their residences, prepare their food and who knows what else. I can hardly believe Lett's arrogance in thinking he's a medical expert when he probably doesn't know the first thing about it.
I yelled at my mom the other day, "Do you honestly believe that if God chose a few select people on Earth to speak to us through, he would have chosen these all American men? There's no other worthy people throughtout the Earth and of all people, Stephen Lett?!!!" Stephen Lett is proof there is no God. LOL!!
Like all narcissists, it’s not so much that they’re good at lying or manipulating. Or they would be recruiting a ton of fresh people. It’s that the people that don’t know any better want to believe their lies. That’s the key. You’re already emotionally invested, as mostly born-ins, and you want to still believe. That’s for the believers. For the rest, they just don’t want to lose their entire family and or support system.

I went to a zoo the other day and they had a little petting zoo area, so naturally I spent my time petting some of the animals.
The goats were far more affectionate than the sheep, actively going out of their way to get interaction with people, whereas the sheep just kind of huddled in one corner away from everyone. Furthermore, the goats had far more interesting markings and their horns made them significantly more distinctive, lending them an aura of self-confidence the sheep lacked. They could defend themselves, ergo they could be a little more curious and inquisitive without clinging to the perpetual dread and existential fear the sheep had. This meant the goats were far more pleasant to be around, and substantially more engaging.
All this was to transparently build up to an analogy, but I choose not to deliver on it.
Goats are good. 💕
Literally the GOATs
I'm giving this comment the devil horns of approval.
@@Aylysh Goats are the sheeps of the devil! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine...the JackAss getting butted by a goat.
Everyday that goes by that I’m farther away from this organization is a better day. Regardless of any shunning or ptsd or mental health that I have to keep an eye on. Leaving these despicable men and this corporation leaves me feeling so happy for the sake of my future children and beyond.
yup.it only gets better.
Thank you for saying that so easily. I feel the same way.
Just wanted to also say Jake that I LOVE your passion in this video. You feel like many of us feel and you make me feel normal for being so angry and upset. Thank you for that too! 😊
43 year old here. Was disfellowshipped at 20 but did not mentally separate until about a month ago. I never went back but I wouldn’t watch anything “negative.” My husband couldn’t call it a cult. I always wanted to give respect. When my eyes were opened, it was like grieving a death. I’m still searching for my truth but these videos help so much. Thank you for helping me really break free.
Btw: the overlapping generation?! I just heard about this. Wtf!?🤦🏽♀️
51 year old here, I also left when I was 20, but didn't even think about the organization until family members started to leave, since then I've heard some of their now recent doctrine. The generations thing is them trying to cover up for another Failmageddon. If you follow the silliness out to its eventual conclusion, it buys them another twenty years to pretend they're not lunatics. I still remember the hullabaloo around "stay alive till '75", they've been pulling this shit since they've been around.
The scriptures never speaks about the overlap generation.
But WT flank their predictions about saying that Armageddon could come in
1975.... It didn't.
So they want to patch their error ??
Probably..
Me??
I was there for 47 years.
But when I found out about gross imoralidade done against children.
I stopped believe WT.
I,m still a Biblia beliver and I read the scriptures frequently.
I can see very clear the fulfillment of Crist prophecy about the end times prior to his second coming
Matteus chapter 24
Luke chapter 21.
But I do feel that what Crist gave to mankind is enough for me.
He gave us enough information.
Certainly the gospel is wonderful.
Thanks for your time.
The elders kept my mother in an abusive marriage with my alcoholic non-believer father. I sought baptism so I could date, so I could marry, so I could escape my home life. No one wanted my baggage. I wasn't suitable for their lives. So I sought dating outside of the organization. And I was stuck in the marriage because I still tried to view it as enduring it
I thought everyone says this group separates you from non believing friends and family, yet you're saying they convinced you to stay with him. So its not true they do that. Also, the bible is very clear about marriage. Sounds like you just disagree with the bible.
This made me so angry. How did I ever believe this nonsense, it's so wild how our thinking changes.
Awesome video!
"Sheep listen to the voice of their shepherd, and reject the voice of strangers..."
Suuuuuuure they do! That's why there are so many sheepherding breeds of DOGS in the world! Sheepherders need the help of dogs to keep the bone-headed sheep from running ALL over tarnation and off cliffs!
7:46 I swear, it’s like he learned public speaking from Dora the Explorer. I cannot.
It is frustrating...More people will wake up though. Although Im still a believing christian, I do sympathize with you on so many of the things you mentioned in this video. I get why people are Atheist and understand because my husband felt that way for a good while. How they treat people isn't loving... I don't blame anyone who left and thinks differently than I do. Best thing we can do is show them that are still in the org the love that we weren't shown and to keep speaking up. Im sorry your family is still in and I know talks like this are especially frustrating because all of us on the outside know they are bold faced lying. They will have a day of reckoning for it and I have a feeling it won't be much longer. Sending lots of support and hugs from TX from our family to yours!!
Jake, This was an awesome video. Entertaining and informative. Please consider making this a regular feature. Keep up the good work.
This is one of the issues with their low level interpretation of the Bible. When Jesus said divorce is only on the grounds of adultery he was talking to a group of men who were allowing divorce for ridiculous reasons leaving women destitute. That’s what he was correcting. He wasn’t talking to abused women. That’s why you can’t just grab words out and apply them across the board.
Your self proclaimed "manic" energy is incredible here. I loved this video and im going to binge the rest of them. You still got your points across and made me laugh multiple times. Noice! 👍
He sounds like he is talking to 10 year olds, not adults, so what does that say about the membership?
The creep/cringe is very real.
Exactly, talk to them like they're kids so they depend on what you say for their every need.
When I left, I found myself looking for someone to guide me through everything.
They want you to feel dependent on them.
I saw clips of this broadcast and I'm just livid. It's one of the worst things I've ever seen. WORST!!! Lying about CSA and encouraging abuse victims to endure abuse??? Seriously?!?!?!
Is the Watchtower in the habit of just giving away money. Not a chance. Gee, tell me Stephen Lett, why did Watchtower pay a woman from Montana, 35 million dollars in 2018? I'm gonna guess she was a victim of child sex abuse. Stop lying you F'ing douchebag.
The reason he talks about sheep, he’s controlling eight million of them.
Love the part that he says satan today is a ventriloquist and using his human puppets !! Spot on themselves !! 😂
You made so many good points (and made me burst out laughing like you usually do). I am grateful they continue to make big asses out of themselves, hopefully anyone with common sense will have their auto pilot brain stirred by these information control tactics.
A sheep spends their whole life fearing the wolves, and gets eaten in the end by the shepherd.-
I prefer to think of myself as a llama
The Dalai Llama ?
Excellent
I enjoyed this video
Your humor is great!
So true
thank you for your time in making it
Most worldly people I know say money does not buy happiness. Money pays bills but things are expensive. Rent, food, gas utilities are expensive
Never stop Jake
All your edits crack me up
- a proud 🐐
This was excellent I had a few chuckles but you were spot on. When I was in one of my "friends" had a baby and they were in bad shape as they lost quite a lot of blood. After the baby was born probably a good 6 or so months I was chatting with her sister who I was also "friends" with, I asked her how soon would they have been able to get the alternatives. Well my question was not answered and was brushed off. You made a fantastic point regarding blood issue in the video, not every hospital will have the resources and at the end of the day if you need blood, you bloody well need it. I found the broadcast quite disturbing and don't get me started on how they like to villifie women. It could be me but when they do these talks it's always the women's fault. If anyone is in an abusive relationship they should not be guilt tripped into staying in an abusive relationship. And the alternative life style good grief they are stuck in the 90s. How about they leave people alone to live their life. 🙄
She refused the life saving blood and watchtower blames the HOSPITAL!!!! Makes me want to puke.🤢🤮
Did anyone else notice the "guilt gulp" after Stephen Lett said that about such so-called lies? I know that when a person is lying they tend to do a gulp afterwards. Because I do the same thing when I tell a lie.
Add my dad to the list of people who died because of the JW's evil blood policy. He died two days ago. What's crazy is that he wasn't even a baptized JW, and he hadn't associated with them for over 20 years. Yet, he still gave up his life for their teachings. Shows you just how deep their claws can sink into someones mind. Even though he stepped away, they still had a grip on him in the end. He'd still be with me if my words of reason were stronger than the JWs jedi mind tricks. In the end, they won. I pray that these governing body members have to answer to God for all the deaths they are responsible for and all the families they have torn apart.
As a youngster my grandmother had goats on her farm,it tended to be the male Billy goats that would butt you, the female goats didn't really, but the same for sheep a male ram could definitely give you a butt but the girls more timid,so the analogy of goats being more aggressive is wrong
I think you'll like this. When the bible was being preached to islanders in the South Asian seas (who had never seen a sheep) they had to replace references to sheep with references to pigs:leading to the blessing from a preacher ' Lord behold these, thy swine... "
I love this. Lol Id rather be called a pig then a sheep by a huge margin. I grew up, ya know, not wanting to be a follower
Appreciate your passion, Jake.
I’m not in the mood for balanced commentary so this is perfect. 🤣
Listen a sister one who I would call my second mother put up with abuse (physical, psychological, sexual, financial) b/c she didn’t have proof her husband cheated on her. She wanted to be “scripturally free” so she didn’t disappoint Jehovah. She stayed for years!! When he finally admitted he cheated on her (with men), THAT’S when she got a divorce. I have stories like these for days. This cult messes w/ peoples lives and I can’t wait to leave
@24:55 forward. "Or that slave will exploit you so they can live lives of luxury..." and the commentary afterwards.
It's a good idea to take another look at the historical examples within the Watchtower Society of that behavior, and I'm specifically referring to Joseph F. Rutherford, who occupied relatively modest living space at the Brooklyn Bethel, but had an ornate home built predominantly for his personal use in San Diego (Beth Sarim).
It is possible for the Governing Body members to have relatively modest living quarters at Warwick, and have much nicer individual homes tucked away elsewhere. Of course the Watchtower Society would have learned by now to remove all open or obvious references to such properties.
I love that Tony Morris drove past 3 liquor stores(closer to where he lives) to shop at one, and buy very expensive Scotch. Gee, Tony are you afraid to be seen locally spending Watchtower money on booze? Douchebags, all 8 of them.
Sadly, this bs affects our brains long after we've left. For instance, I know the "end of this system," is just a myth, atleast what they teach, but I still have to reassure myself of that.
When I left I always had to reassure myself that it won't happen (it's way more effective when your born into the cult like I have)
Me too. Daily. It’s the indoctrination and it sucks. We got this!
@@tayhawkins9235 exactly! we can overcome this!
I agree. My mom still believes in it. They are building a massive media center in Ramapo, NY. It won't be finished for 3 or 4 years. How then, can the end, be just around the corner? Such liars. A horrible cult. Stay strong.
@@markusbrauns4274 I know right! A loooong corner.
I love the eyeball guy. Lett probably has spent 1000's of hours in front of a mirror to make those faces.
Nice to wake up so early for a long day of work with a JW and have your video saying everything I want to say 😆😆😆
Loved the angry rant!.
Seriously , keep it up!
Foreshadowing Monogamy: The Resurrected Abraham Story.
When they say ppl leave to get followers for themselves remind me like when they say ppl go to college to seek fame and fortune. Like nope it’s just to help you have a job. A regular job.
Come now, even preschool teachers don't speak like that to their students. Recent research has shown that if you talk 'baby talk' to kids, it can actually hinder their speech development. They need to be able to see the facial muscles move properly to make the words and hear the sounds of the words as they are meant to be heard. Any principal of a school would not hire a teacher that talked like Lett.
“and by sip i mean *quick inhale*” me too bud, me too.
I am recently shunned for leaving my abusive marriage. I have had a miserable life in the “Truth” and nothing but trauma. my entire family including my young daughter has been turned against me - no where to live, lost income, no family. thank goodness for the kindness of some new “worldly” people, if it were not for them I am sure I would have commit suicide
Can anyone else hear Lett saying "Hey little boy/girl, want some candy?"
10:40ish.. YES!! My mother and daughter simply do not understand the separation of the “Org” and “Jehovah” (their version of God) they look at it the same totally 100%!
If I can get $$ for every time I have been told “You left Jehovah” blah blah
Because I left the cult. Yes boys and girls, the Org is a cult by very definition.
Love how petty this was. Also my dude looks like a less slimy version of Seth Rogen.
44:35 'the last part of the last part of the last days' 😂😂😂
This is the first one I cannot watch. I watch the poor Malawi brother re-enactment of him getting attacked with machetes. I watch them most horrific interviews from all types of people and histories. I decided I can take it, because they are expressing their true experiences, even if it was bad, and how they got threw it. How we have hope for the present or future. But the GB and Lett talk absolute lies? I can't look that guy in the face, and I'm happy to look death in the face (reading peoples experiences and how they reflect on it) and take it head on!
Yeah, I feel like you too. I finally came out as POMO to my family Sunday. Guess when the broadcast was released? It's gonna drive my family in deeper. When all these videos/magazines were released while I was in it drove me out (slowly). But I found out all these lies are driving my family in deeper.
Crap. I hate these lying "religious" leaders.
As I'm out, and I'm happy to burn every bridge now. If you want something totally bizzar, how about someone like me, who's now an atheist who hopes there is a God, as an interview. XD
Thank you for sharing your journey. It is much appreciated.
So good to mention blood products. In Aus a blood product promoted by the hospital liaison committee is not registered and available for use. It requires surgeons to sign off, a form to go to the TGA and then it can be flown into Aus for use.
VERY enjoyable, thanks for doing this vid! Made my anger feel understood.---- Please imitate Carlin lots more, i loved that! ---glad i watched to the end, it's so comical! I needed that laugh♥
What the hell is wrong with that guy Lett?
The eternal question!
He takes infantalizing people to the extreme
He sounds like the “Dino DNA” cartoon from Jurassic Park.
For me, by far, your best video!🙏🤗🙃
There HAS to be some way to get an estimate on the deaths by blood issue. Surely it is approaching Waco/Jonestown numbers now. The JWs downplay it so much, surely a number would provide a bigger jolt than the ARC. Love your work Jake.
Don't forget the suicides, caused by shunning. That is a very high number. I doubt they will ever be held accountable. Makes me sick to my stomach.
I’m a fucking “ human puppet” I LOVE IT! I told hubby 2 nts ago he’s is satan in sheeps clothing! Greereaattt he now will be mesmerized even more so listening to this freak show!
That Kesha joke got me good. You’re hilarious.
Cultiest (is that even a word?) Video I've seen in a while . Sheep=listen to everything the governing goombahs say, and let them do the thinking for you. And I love the way he totally dismisses the actions of the abusive husband and puts the blame on the wife. I am in law enforcement, and see the devastating effects of domestic abuse. This organization is either oblivious or apathetic to the suffering of those who are in abusive situations.
Awesome! Loved it! True and Hilarious
Watchtower: Engage Damage Control mode! All publishers insert the earplugs of selective deafness!
Ray Franz - Former Governing Body Member. “Months of research were spent on this one subject of “Chronology” and it resulted in the longest article in the Aid publication. Much of the time was spent endeavoring to find proof, some backing in history, for the 607 B.C.E. date so crucial to our calculations for 1914. We found absolutely nothing in support of 607 B.C.E as the date for the destruction of Jerusalem. Everything pointed to a period twenty years shorter than our published chronology claimed. Though I found this disquieting, I wanted to believe that our chronology was right in spite of all the contrary evidence. Thus, in preparing the material for the Aid book, much of the time/space was spent in trying to weaken the credibility of the archeological and historical evidence that would make erroneous our 607 B.C. E. date thus giving a different starting point for our calculations and therefore an ending date different from 1914.” - Crisis of Conscious PG. 29
Brilliant video. Thanks for making this!
Understandable anger, great points- and the ending was hilarious.
"He made a serpent appear to talk.....like a venriloquist" no no no bible doesn't say that ....bible says the serpent spoke to eve. Not that satan used a serpent as a puppet.
Why do they have to twist something so simple.
The entire org is twisted from top to bottom.
Hey Annie I caught that too!! They pick and choose when they wanna believe the Bible. Genesis says the serpent spoke. U either believe it or u don't. U either trust God or you don't.
I feel a wave of hyper vigilant emotions, slightly criminal urges, deep grief and helplessness, pain and regret, feelings of warranted violence, surrender and serenity (god…grant me the serenity…), rage and self loathing, right back around to the delirium of a devil may care attitude and cackling at the silliest things you say. Just about every video… so thanks for the controlled spirals rife with laughs. Keep them coming…maybe one day the intensity of it all will subside 🤔….probably not but 🤷🏾♀️
I'm amazed how JWs can continually look at these televangelist broadcasts, the constant gas lighting, circular logic, doctrinal reversals and e-begging, and not see the org and GB for the shills they are.
Also, STOP HATING ON GOATS 😐🐐
brainwashed cult members
I Got a clarification reading and old article Watchtower where they said Beth Sarim was no shanty. However it was forever deeded to David. They also said Rutherfords health issues is why he needed to be at the mansion during the winter.
Rutherford vacationed in Europe, while the rest of the country was in a depression. Disgusting.
My Mom disowned me because she is a witness and I never have been. They refuse to see my kids or go to my kids events because they go to a worldly school and Christian Schools. It’s sad for them. I pray for them.
I didn't get a "thumbing his nose at apostates" vibe from Lett's "baaaaaa, poor little sheep..."
It felt like he was gloating about having the power of life and death over millions of JWs.
It also felt extremely condescending and insulting towards any older teen or adult JW, like being talked down to in an infantile way.
I studied the bible with this cult for a year thank gosh I seen through the bs
I was a "study" also. They gave up on me because I asked too many questions. I think that the last straw was when I watched the August 2018 talk and they changed 'gifts to men' to 'gifts of men'. Don't recall the verse. They asked if the change made a difference. When I told them yes, they quickly said something like 'well, I don't watch all those talks', or something similar. And that was the last study. 🤷🏻♀️
When they changed the Bible to 'gifts of men', the GB was referring to themselves. (Just to clarify)
I had a study arranged by a relative. But, I was a born in. I heard it all. They tried to get me in the right frame of mind but it just wasn't taking. I kept asking difficult questions for them. Finally, they gave up. We weren't even halfway through the What Does The Bible Really Teach book when they gave up. I was so relieved. I finally approached the relative that arranged the Bible study and told her that I will never become a jehovah witness. That it would never happen. She said, I'm sorry to hear that. Once you get away from the witnesses, I think an extremely few ever go back. I was afraid of hurting her feelings but that band-aid just needed to be ripped off. I had always hoped that she would be able to see through the cult. I don't know if that will ever happen. I still hope that it will happen someday but I have my doubts. It's amazing how intelligent people get sucked into this cult. People who you think that would be hard to fool fall for it. They defend the cult no matter what. It's just incredible.
You are soo lucky you never got baptized.
I can barely even handle how dumbed down these talks are 🥸 how on earth do our loved ones take these freaks seriously even for a second, it's infuriating
Now Satan is using Lett as the ventriculus: He is the human puppet. So CLEAR.
When the GB does figure out who Kesha is, they'll disapprove of her. Not because of the content or anything, but for getting out of an abusive relationship. :X
But then she will regain the GB's favor when she releases a re-worked version of one of her earlier hits, calling it "Jehovah's Love Is My Drug."
Eh, I'd argue they do live in luxury. A nice, if modest, apartment on lakeside property. Someone that cleans their room and cooks their meals. They fly internationally and have every need met. They don't pay taxes. That's luxurious. Even if they wear knock off rolexes, they're still living better than many of the people who pay for them to live that way.
That's what I was thinking too.
I kinda realized that when editing but it was too late! I blame drugs
The only thing I didn't like about this video is that now I have to wait for part 2!
I was thinking how good the editing was in this video, this was very well done however long it took. Great commentary and observations you bring an interesting angle to them and other cult leaders. Whether leaders of any group believe their own Propaganda they know what they are doing in terms of demonising dissonant voices and anything that threatens their authority and control, but they seem to want to pretend there is this invisible governing body that individually they are not. It’s clever because there is no one to blame for the policies and the collateral.
You make me laugh so much! I know it's a serious subject byt the way you mock them, and this closing was hummmazing
Someone should tell them, putting obviously before a statement doesn't make it true.
He didn’t even condemn the abuser! WTF?
I would love to know how much research Lett actually did about sheep and goats. It feels like he is working mostly with stereo types regarding sheep. The sheep and goats did not deserve this…
A Goat also not deserve to get fucked by a Turkey! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As much research as he did about baby’s being enemies of God.
Thanks for being a very articulate ex JW. I do disagree with you that the GB doesn't live in luxury. Maybe we have different definitions of "luxury." The fact is that they don't have to worry about low income, job loss, loss of their home, etc. They have access to free labor to clean their luxury rooms (I think), to do repairs on their residences, prepare their food and who knows what else. I can hardly believe Lett's arrogance in thinking he's a medical expert when he probably doesn't know the first thing about it.
Thanks you for this. I also lost my mind and I hated that I let it get to me but how could you not? These disgusting people need to burn.
Sheep only get the shepherds attention when they step out of line, otherwise they’re ignored in the flock
I yelled at my mom the other day, "Do you honestly believe that if God chose a few select people on Earth to speak to us through, he would have chosen these all American men? There's no other worthy people throughtout the Earth and of all people, Stephen Lett?!!!" Stephen Lett is proof there is no God. LOL!!
I love your content and very very funny. Suzanne ex JW from Fiji

~29:00 I Loled at give me your version! ha!!!! You so funny Jake.
Like all narcissists, it’s not so much that they’re good at lying or manipulating. Or they would be recruiting a ton of fresh people. It’s that the people that don’t know any better want to believe their lies. That’s the key. You’re already emotionally invested, as mostly born-ins, and you want to still believe. That’s for the believers. For the rest, they just don’t want to lose their entire family and or support system.
Such great coverage on this new crap they put out. Thanks for passion and entertainment behind it!
Sheep look out for dogs and wolves all their lives,only to be eaten by the shepherd...
