watching the conventions through cedars' channel allows me to talk with my JW family about it and also talk with my apostate folks lol truly a "blessing"
Omg, I'm in the exact same boat! This weekend is this halls assigned dates and my mom keeps texting me fishing if I'm there attending it. I keep being vague in response cause I dont know if she will go as far as to start texting others from here to see if they see me there. I'm in that stage of like trying to get them to see the truth of what is going on so I still have to pretend that I'm in it even tho I want nothing more then for this organization to collapse and be completely exposed for all to see the evil in it!! I look forward to feeling free in the next few month's!! :)
Lloyd, I really like the idea of having the speaker and you at the same time on camera. It was really fun be able to watch your facial expressions. Also it is a good strategy to teach us how we should listen and carefully analyze these talks.
@NonCoinCollector Not personally, but I have heard of that. The organization thinks they "own" publishers. They don't visit you at home to be nice but to keep you in line. They don't visit your hospital bed to be nice but to make sure you don't take blood.
I dunno. Some kids are more drawn to spirituality and kids are impressionable. If they are indoctrinated that this is spiritual they might get some form of satisfaction from it.
@@Morna777 I was very spiritual and I still am, wanted to please Jehovah and my parents happy but going out in service was so embarrassing and I hated waking people up on Saturday morning.
Hollar Girl congrats!!! I left Dec 2017. It’s true, the org is creepy and controlling. Loved the Leah Remini special. Love that I can now think for myself.
The same crap just reworded. Once asked why it was and I was told they were loving reminders. After a verbal fight with a pioneer for meddling in my personal life I had had enough. Told her I would go to the police,if she ever approached my son without my consentment. That was one year ago still waiting for the elders. Thank you for all you do. Greetings from mexico.
Lilia Benavides the struggle is real! These busybodies won’t stop. If she ever approaches your son, don’t hesitate to call the police. I’m sorry you had to go through some trouble, sister.
Lilia Benavides, Greetings. Seems like there's a lot of legal action going on these days. You did right. Call the police or go to court, whatever you must. I've heard about JWs women being followed/stalked by elders in cars. That's way too creepy. Makes no sense.
@@user-hd8ej8yx9p se molesto conmigo porque no fui con ella a una revisita,son las 11 de la noche y ella anda todavia predicando. Me dijo que no me gastara atendiendo mi familia que me gastara en el servicio de jehova,que ya era hora de sacar a mi hijo mayor de mi casa. Un dia acorralo a mi hijo pequeno queriendole sacar informacion de mi familia. Alli fue cuando ya estalle. Es nada mas una fraccion de lo que pasamos. Mi hijo pequeno sufrio mucho siendo testigo. No lo voy a permetir ahora que estoy segura de que SON UNA SECTA.
24:3 Evening witnessing,ya lets interrupt peoples meals,and risk getting robbed or mugged also,what a disgusting guilt trip video,and the boy is obviously indoctrinated already,heaven help us!
If I was Satan, I would repent and throw myself on Jehovah's mercy, just to fuck with his plans. It would be the logical thing to do. Then all of the prophecies about me would fail. What better way to stick it to Jehovah, than that. For a highly intelligent entity, the way he acts is very formulaic and predictable. No nuance and complexity to him at all. Its almost like he is a stereotypical villain, invented in the minds of men intent on controlling the behavior of others.
Besides feeling like I’m in a 1950’s time warp when I listen to the clips of the governing body members, they are THE most BORING PUBLIC SPEAKERS, EVER! They should have suicide hotline numbers posted all over the convention center just for THAT! 😂 No , seriously, we need to be there for the “Apostates” that are being shunned. I am not ex JW but for some reason, I am drawn to your work. I find ex JW’s to be the kindest, bravest most intelligent people in the cult escapist community. I LOVE how the ex JW’s are banding together to support one another. It is a beautiful thing to witness! ✨💚✨
"Even worldly people say: « I find ex JW’s to be the kindest, bravest most intelligent people in the [...] community.» Isn't it another blessing from Jehovah God ? We are offered the best education recognized even by Satan-driven people. Our loving brothers shepherding your own inner life everyday is another proof of the love of God." -- Some Watchtower extract from the future -
But to watchtower propaganda these mentally deceased apostates are now living miserable empty lives where they have probably been fired and are now homeless
Each Video takes me several days to watch. I can only imagine how long it takes you to produce them. Your work is so precious, you do such great research, i thank you so very much. Wounderful video, Lloyd.
Lloyd I will never forget geoffrey Jackson's reply during the Australian royal commission trial....angus Stewart asked him."do you believe you are god's only true organisation...his reply...well that's a bit presumptuous"...that was priceless.all jws who are fading out need to watch the full trial...i found it so disturbing..but the judge and solicitor completely dismantled them.
Shunning has been so helpful and motivating...not really. I feel sorry for my family that will never get to share my life. They are wasting their life chasing a foolish dream.
You are loved. We love you. We are your true brothers and sisters. He blessed. It hurt when my sister first abandoned me. But a friend made me realize how truly evil her actions were. It has been 2 years now and of course I want her in my life but the pain is no longer there once I stopped putting myself out there to be hurt.
Lloyd I love your insights and logic, but what I loved the most of this video were the faces you made when the speaker spoke about that exquisite store nonsense 😂😂
Myself and a couple of my counselling colleagues went to the Saturday convention in the afternoon, we had to leave after my colleague who is a domestic violence counsellor saw the love in the family video, she just about managed the husbands one but had to get up and walk out when the elder giving the talk said to the ‘sisters, “there is no quicker way to destroy a mans dignity and self respect and to diminish the Holy Spirit in a marriage, than by a wife telling her husband she told him it would be better done another way” I’m actually surprised that when the video showed the woman was expected to look down and be submissive, that she didn’t shout her feelings out loud. I knew what to expect and actually thought it would have been worse but from a professional who has never seen anything like it she was appalled and disgusted
@chiafade now, yes exactly, I have only recently started talking to colleagues about my experience as a JW/ex JW and two of them came with me to this convention. She actually couldn’t believe that content, that potentially dangerous was being openly taught to so many. She was fuming, hence why we had to leave. I’m so glad they came and saw first hand as it opens their eyes, that JWs are not always nice people who wake you up on a Saturday morning. That the organisation behind it is very questionable.
Would be great idea for Counsellors to know that the witnesses teach young children very inappropriate things. This is of great concern and has the potential of psychological damage or could lead to grooming. Things like - Chapter 10 Jesus’ power over the demons - Learn from the Great Teacher Book. This is definitely not something that a young child should be learning in a bible study or as a bed time story - say at a sleep over!!!
Feeling that they can't go back on the blood doctrine because they've already caused the death of so many -- I can't think of anything more cowardly or tragic.
“Don’t let your love for a wrongdoer cause you to act in a misguided and unloving way.” -I literally cringed when I heard that. You are being unloving by loving a wrongdoer??? Shunning is not loving. It’s psychological abuse.
Oooh...I see: so elders arent perfect, they make mistakes, they do and say wrong things - BUT we should thank them and show our gratefulness. Yet...when anyone else makes a mistake, toss them, DF them, dont cut them any slack, and cut them off. I see...so the hypocrisy is THICK in this assembly talk!
@NonCoinCollector the elder was probably pissed that you didn't send him a thank you card for all he does in the hall. But you wouldn't know anything about that now...would you! Since not making the meetings and all! Lmao...
Loyd thanks a million i hated field service. Its been 10 years now that ive been out watching your videos just clarifies why i left. I cant believe i was duped for so long. Thanks so so much.
Totally not your fault. You're a good person and you were just trying to do what you were told was right. I'm just happy that you're free. You deserve to feel the sun on your face and the love of whatever is up there, bc it's a beautiful ride! 💜
This will be a great evening's viewing! I am both entertained and disappointed by all the changes in the "organization". Can only watch this mind boggling and toe curling rubbish thanks to Lloyds considerate presentations. Thankyou Lloyd.
1:52:45 Yes they are. They are naturally sweet little loving things, much like puppies or kittens are. They love to be cuddled and held when they are little.
I’m a prime example. I always wanted to be a doctor. I spent my youth pioneering,then married an abusive man. Now I’m almost 42 and my son is 18, just graduated high school. I’m starting school soon. I’ve been a nurse for 10 years. Guilt was heaped upon me for going to college.
@@amandaklanseck6656 Imagine if - hypothetically - JW's had a nation of their own. And now compare it to Gilead. JW's are fundamentalists, it would be a disaster.
WOW Lloyd! I know we live a world apart and have never met.... but, when you got to the part with Lett, I found myself laughing and talking to you through the computer screen like we have been friends since we were kids. Thanks for that! And thanks for dismantling every word that spews from his pie hole!
I have been watching your videos and I have to say , there is a saying if you look for bad you will only see bad , if you look at the good you will only see beauty. Thank you for showing me how wonderful these faithful servants of GOD. The next time they come to my door I will be loving and inviting. You are actually a angry horrible man and on kind hearted people will see thru your bias and pain.
I got beyond excited when this notification popped up! He he I’m loving the new format btw, when we get to see u at the same time as the speaker. Your facial expressions are priceless. Fantastic video, as always. Thanks, Lloyd
Your comments on JW funeral talks hit home. My great-grandmother's funeral was my wakeup moment. I had been disfellowshipped for a while, but was half-heartedly trying to get reinstated. But the fact that the elder spent ten minutes of a sixty-minute talk actually talking about this phenominal woman who lived to her mid-90s, saying little more than a list of she is survived by so many children, grandchildren, etc, then the remainder prociltizing to a room full of believers. That infuriated me, and was the last time I set foot in a kingdom hall.
Lloyd, you are a good example of what a theology professor of mine used to say, "Clear, concise and correct" with a sense of humor thrown in for good measure. I pray that one day my brother will be red pilled and become Woke. Thank you for your insights.
The videos serve to further indoctrinate. As a child, I longed to be one of those missionaries or Bethelites. I guess Bethel is not such a great option any more.. lol. Still, they glorify how happy you will be by focusing all your energy in the ministry. Week after week, year after year, you become convinced that preaching is the career God wants you to pursue. Forget about everything else. Also, the love JWs show seems so beautiful, but it IS NOT real. Sure, theyll almost do anything to convert you. But if you disagree with their doctrine, you are dead to them. Not real love!
Mezzo Knows I was indoctrinated as a child. I gave WT my youth. When I left, even though I wasn’t DF’d and I didn’t waste my time and energy to write a letter of DA, people I had known for decades turned their back on me. Yet, it’s a “loving org”.
My parents were converts. My dad had been planning his suicide for 6 months and then the Witnesses knocked on the door catching him at his lowest point, my mum followed my dad. He used to say to the JWs: 'the first lie I catch you in, then I'm out.' If only he knew what I know now!
I spent 2 years getting re-instated just to be able to give my dying grandmother peace and to kind of make a point (family as well). My reinstatement was the last meeting I ever went to.
A woman no matter how experienced and full of wisdom will have to wear a hat as sign of submission in the presence the youngest most inexperienced and immature male adolescent, either gods sexist or bibles clearly written from a primitive perspective of people from that time period
Okay, I have had a breather AND a stiff drink! I haven’t made it all the way through the Stephen Lett debacle and I need a repeat of both! I could NEVER get through this at all without you, Lloyd! Thank you, thank you, thank you! If it weren’t for you I would be reduced to screaming at the screen like I do every time tRump comes on the airways!
Thanks for your time researching and commenting on this convention, I know it was excruciating to watch and listen. I am still in awe that I sat through these heel nipping events...while I cud have been hiking in the woods, walking my dogs or spending time with people who actually cared about me. A vicious cycle of narcissists and victims...over and over
But John, he is training children up in the way of obedience...so they can be sexually assaulted and be afraid to speak of it...and parents are grooming them to follow adults, no matter what. Brainwashing. If Steven Lett is not a pedophile, I will eat my own shorts
I'll never forget how I had a stomach flu and vomiting uncontrollably. Yet I had to go to an assembly, because my parents went and they didn't want to miss their meeting. And when I had to sit there, I was in a delirious state, sick to the gills, and I had to sit there like a good boy. Being told it was for the best because I will make it to Armageddon if I did so. I agree with you, Detective. There is no religious child. Only a child with religious parents. And a damaged one at that.
Speaker: Lists reasons why you need to show elders and travelling overseers love and respect. Me: Where is your love and respect for me now I am an apostate? Elders feeling unloved comes very much under the category of NOT MY PROBLEM!
Sera - Marie I endured 15 years of : mental, emotional and verbal abuse at the hands of the elders. Even 2 circuit overseers joined in on the abuse. So much for the love. They took my abusive ex husband’s side even though he refused to work.
So true! I married a very abusive man, who abused me mentally, emotionally, verbally. He sexually assaulted me. I was told my body belonged to him and he had the right to have sex anytime he wanted. They said , “ if you don’t do your part and he commits adultery, we’re going to hold you accountable . He wasn’t working to take care of the bills. He walked out on me and our young son, still to this day, he’s in good standing with privileges. I could never understand it. I divorced him for custody and so he couldn’t get any of my finances. This all happened in 2003. So glad to be free from all this.
My husband is studying and believes my body belongs to him too, and he wants sex all the time. Even though I’m 8 months pregnant he still wants it, I want to make him happy but I’m just not interested in sex now 🤦♀️🙄🤰
1:25:05 - Ummm.. minor thing -- Wasn't it Sarah, in a fit of jealousy, that _made_ Abraham cast out Hagar, along with Ishmael?? That doesn't _exactly_ sound like a wife that was totally submissive to the point she didn't stand up for herself. It's in Genesis 21 for the bible students out there -- also, God seems to respect Sarah's ultimatum - because according to the same bible - he tells Abraham to do as Sarah wishes.
Yes! My Grandmother's funeral was devastated by JWS. I wanted to sing You Are My Sunshine, since she taught me that song. But nope, not at a JW funeral. They take the fun out of funeral. I wanted to celebrate my Grandma.
Stephen Lett’s views on kids were scarily similar to my father’s. My father was a controlling Witness man who believed praising children would spoil them, that children should be disciplined (spare the rod and spoil the child), children should be seen but not heard, children shouldn’t speak until spoken to, and definitely should be “contributors” around the house. But to a ridiculous point where I felt I didn’t get a childhood, and I often cried late at night because I felt so unloved. (Of course, if I was caught crying, I’d be in trouble then too because I had “nothing to cry about” but could be given something to cry about if I continued.) Jesus didn’t treat children that way.
Been gone since 1995 I had no regrets and I never looked back. These videos are hilarious but also sad for the ones still trapped in it shame on The Watchtower for their mind games and lies.
Why should elders be shown appreciation for performing a volunteer job they elected to do when JW’s can’t show appreciation for their parents one day a year on Mother’s Day/Fathers Day?
48:53 - Did he just say that many have been bribed into baptism? Does anyone remember Tony Morris' talk about the teenager that wanted his driver's license?
I relate to your comments about funerals being all about giving the usual JW sermon bit. I told my witness cousin who was on hand to be in control for funeral planning for my witness mother (I was no longer a witness after 40 wasted years) that I better not hear that Adam and Eve sermon again. She asked what I wanted to hear. I told her I wanted people to know about the lady who had died. She said the society was beginning to be more personal or something to that effect, and she would talk to the brother who would give the sermon. To make a long story short, he gave a sermon that actually was about my mother and her life. Not about Adam and Eve. My "worldly" school girlfriends who had known my mother from our childhood told me it was the best funeral sermon they had ever heard. A better "witness" than they would have had.
Something to ponder... WT / GB have Doctors, Lawyers and Engineers, and they all had to go to the same "worldly" colleges to get their degree as anyone else!.. It's ok when someone gets a higher education just to serve WT / GB but when someone wants to get their education and take care of themselves and their family that's a problem! The hypocrisy is outstanding! 😠 Thanks as always for your thought provoking videos! 😎
Efrain Rivera Junior that tells me that the ex JW support movement is powerful and making a real difference. That’s awesome! “No sir, it’s not “Satan” it is the REAL TRUTH. 👍”
My daughter was hospitalized when I was studying and I had been attending every meeting so I was considered a progressing bible student. One person came to visit from the KH. Nobody asked about her and certainly no “help” was offered. She was in the hospital for 9 days, two of those in a coma. The church I work at (yes they had a talk with me about that 😂) gave me a bonus, gift cards for grocery stores and a bag of non perishable items. I wasn’t expecting that what so ever but it was amazingly kind and generous. A few of the members even came to visit to check on US and how she was. Considerable difference. So you can imagine how I felt when I was pregnant and nervous about the blood issue. I was told “IF you keep attending the hospital liaison MIGHT come to your aid and help you.” I was so scared, so I secretly told the hospital I’d take blood if needed. That issue never set well with me anyway. Such conditional love IF you are doing everything they expect.
Domestic abuse (verbal and/or physical). Just put up with it because 1. Its your fault for speaking your mind and 2. He's a good man and you just have to endure your "difficult situation". This is not only abusive to the wife but also to the children who witness this going on.
In 1984 I walked out after 24 years of pioneering, special pioneering,Kingdom Ministry School in Upstate NY, married a Bethelite and was headed for the Circuit work. Thank God my circuit breaker was born in Jan 965 but yet I raised both my children in this dreadful organization, I became a JW in 1960 and left in 1984. I lived through the 1975 debacle. I look at these talks and your insightful thoughts and I ask myself why didn't I leave sooner? Answer - I wanted to, but my husband was an elder and we were the "model family". After my model husband admitted immorality and I saw the real workings of the committee and the organisations double standards first hand I had enough. I disfellowshipped the WTBTS and went on to have a fantastic life. A much bigger life than I could have ever imagined. Life is good and I keeps getting better.
STEVEN LETT has wiped out all my previous thoughts ....mostly I have been swearing at the screen throughout his immoral hideous talk on something he also knows nothing about! Thanks Lloyd for showing the world this evil cult!
Yeah, the Company has lost it. Its incredible how displeased they...sorry...Jehova is. Send out those freeloading toddlers to sort laundry or wash cars! And remind them to send their icecream money pronto! Jehova needs to refill his stock of whiskey.
In my opinion, any person who is an elder and after reading the Shepeard the Flock book continues being an elder is a horrible human being. They are the lowest, most nauseating creatures on Earth. Elders are miserable, arrogant, power-hungry a-holes that do not deserve any type of respect. These are men who use their man giving power to harras and mentally abuse and in some cases sexually abuse the flock. These are men that use their position so to interrogate the sisters in a way that I call "Live Porn". These men are a total disgrace.
Very true about the funerals. My dad had a JW funeral,although my mom was not a witness nor the other of our family or friends who attended. My mom was in tears just about the talk. Made us feel like we were crap for not being witnesses and if we became one,it was the only way to see you loved one again. They made you feel like dirt and unworthy of even being there.
They serve on hospital liaison- this is dangerous. Uneducated elders try to run the care of a jw - think they understand lab values, diagnostic results, pathophysiology, and have the balls to tell the Drs how much fluids/medications the patient should receive. What tests should be performed, etc... Most of the jws coming into hospitals don’t even know what they have checked marked on their advanced directives. I’ve seen some ad’s that contradict itself and basically stop any treatments because of how the ad was filled out. And the jw doesn’t even know what they accepted and did not accept. Then the elders create fear in the jw patient and the jws are terrified of everything and think we are just waiting for them to turn their heads and give them blood - as if Satan is inside of us and that’s our ultimate goal instead of providing them with good healthcare - bloodless healthcare even.
These "hospital liaison committees" are an insult and slap on the face to all the well-trained healthcare staff, including nurses like myself. I didn't go through years of training just to be faced with those bastards when they come in to check on a sick witness. I also know that my brother and his wife didn't go through 6 years of medical school to be insulted in that manner.
Best part of having a "worldly" bf is he sees me as an equal when we make financial decisions and even when we disagree it is okay and a safe place to be. I'm glad I never got with a jw man
Yes, and so the gb member Morris didn't waste any time to convince the employee in the liquor store... 😅 Always on God's way.... By the way : I think that son was disappointed because MAYBE the only time he gets to spend with his dad is the time in service. This is another aspect of conditional love and not an aspect of true belief or Jehovah's guidance
My last time in a Kingdom Hall was at a "memorial" -- it was when I KNEW I did not believe and I wouldn't pretend anymore, no matter what the cost. And it was "expensive".
Never been a JW but am sickened by so much of what I hear. I can't wrap my head around where the GB is coming from and how they don't see their own obvious disingenuousness and lack of common human decency with respect to non-GB members.
How many beatings does a jw wife have to take while they're waiting for the loving kindness they are showing their husbands to take hold? As someone who knows abuse, the only way most abuse stops is through jail or death, never patiently waiting....
My JW husband was violent to me, but not enough that I was scared for my life. So I didn't have scriptural grounds to separate. Although an elder did tell me it only advice and it was my decision. So I could have left him years before. It was news to me!
I also think .....always smiling and being extra nice to people are all a part of their sales pitch. Just as getting dressed for the meetings and field service.
One thing I remember my father, who was a devout JW til his death said was that he felt JW's didn't show love and that greatly saddened him, It saddens me that he gave his whole life to this organisation and was deceived.
Lloyd love the video as always. One thing I thought was interesting was after the first Chiho video when Lett joked about not applauding for the father. The witnesses are so brainwashed to applaud after every single video that it never clicked for them that they were applauding “bad” parenting on behalf of Chiho’s father. But Lett sure knew it.
Yes, exactly!! I thought wow, no one can think for themselves. In fact most parents in there do treat their children just like that if not a hell of alot worse when it comes to going to the meetings or out in service. Its what they learned from their own parents cause its what has been taught in a clever way for many many years in the literature. Such B.S. in this organization. Makes me sick!!
Holy shit, this one is so blatant! I've never heard them make so many direct statements that they've danced around for years. I've been eagerly awaiting this episode !!
Another great video Lloyd. Have you noticed we haven't seen or heard from Tony Morris since Bottlegate? Maybe he's being protected. Laying low for a while maybe...
JW parents asked if I’m going to the convention this year. I said yes. I’ll be watching it from the John Cedars channel on TH-cam lol
Dr Leslie brilliant!
watching the conventions through cedars' channel allows me to talk with my JW family about it and also talk with my apostate folks lol
truly a "blessing"
Bee Marzipan when I bring up topics from them my folks are amazed and truly believe I went despite the fact I told them TH-cam and Cedars is my source
Bwhahahaha...I looove it!
Omg, I'm in the exact same boat! This weekend is this halls assigned dates and my mom keeps texting me fishing if I'm there attending it. I keep being vague in response cause I dont know if she will go as far as to start texting others from here to see if they see me there. I'm in that stage of like trying to get them to see the truth of what is going on so I still have to pretend that I'm in it even tho I want nothing more then for this organization to collapse and be completely exposed for all to see the evil in it!! I look forward to feeling free in the next few month's!! :)
Lloyd, I really like the idea of having the speaker and you at the same time on camera. It was really fun be able to watch your facial expressions. Also it is a good strategy to teach us how we should listen and carefully analyze these talks.
I liked it too.
The look on his face when he knew Steven Lett was coming up was hysterical.
He had to watch Lett all over again.
I agree. Watching these videos with my cat is great but it’s nice to get a confirmed “eye roll” response to Stephens stupidity
Second that!! Lloyd's facial expressions just add so much to the experience. It's like confetti
"Sometimes the elders forget things." Yes, like human decency. They forget that a lot.
They also forget to turn in elders who have sexualy abused/ raped kids in their care
@NonCoinCollector Not personally, but I have heard of that. The organization thinks they "own" publishers. They don't visit you at home to be nice but to keep you in line. They don't visit your hospital bed to be nice but to make sure you don't take blood.
@@AlSidre Very true. Anyone who is culpable of covering up child abuse needs to spend decades in prison. They are enabling more kids to be hurt!
@NonCoinCollector yes I have ,an elder kicked my door in a tantrum all because I missed a meeting
That’s truth, by many cases in our area.
My parents are currently at the assembly right now and I'm over here watching Lloyd and not getting brainwashed. It's so wonderful being free!
I have never enjoyed meeting parts more... 😂lloyd is awesome
Disappointed that you are not going out in service, said no child ever.
Exactly. lol What a joke!
They literally live in a fantasy world and demand their followers to live there too.
And especially grateful that one wasn't paired up somehow with the congregation pedophile.
I dunno. Some kids are more drawn to spirituality and kids are impressionable. If they are indoctrinated that this is spiritual they might get some form of satisfaction from it.
@@Morna777 I was very spiritual and I still am, wanted to please Jehovah and my parents happy but going out in service was so embarrassing and I hated waking people up on Saturday morning.
I'm just coming up on my 1 year anniversary of leaving after 40 years. The longer I'm away the crazier it looks.
Yessss!!! Welcome to your freedom!
Hollar Girl congrats!!! I left Dec 2017. It’s true, the org is creepy and controlling. Loved the Leah Remini special. Love that I can now think for myself.
Mind numbing, in a good way, isn't it?
how is it going now you are free? Are you touch with any old friends?
Hollar Girl halucinatio
The same crap just reworded. Once asked why it was and I was told they were loving reminders. After a verbal fight with a pioneer for meddling in my personal life I had had enough. Told her I would go to the police,if she ever approached my son without my consentment. That was one year ago still waiting for the elders. Thank you for all you do. Greetings from mexico.
Lilia Benavides the struggle is real! These busybodies won’t stop. If she ever approaches your son, don’t hesitate to call the police. I’m sorry you had to go through some trouble, sister.
You can bet I will. I wont be intimidaded by them anymore.
Was in for 12 years. What a waste of my time.
Right? Same crap I heard as far back as I can recall (pre-1975).
Lilia Benavides, Greetings. Seems like there's a lot of legal action going on these days. You did right. Call the police or go to court, whatever you must. I've heard about JWs women being followed/stalked by elders in cars. That's way too creepy. Makes no sense.

Human Rights have been orchestrated by Satan!
Does Satan have time to mess with worldly people after concentrating so hard on Jehovah's Witnesses?
Lmao....i doubt it
24:3 Evening witnessing,ya lets interrupt peoples meals,and risk getting robbed or mugged also,what a disgusting guilt trip video,and the boy is obviously indoctrinated already,heaven help us!
🤣🤣🤣
NonCoinCollector hilarious!!
If I was Satan, I would repent and throw myself on Jehovah's mercy, just to fuck with his plans. It would be the logical thing to do. Then all of the prophecies about me would fail. What better way to stick it to Jehovah, than that. For a highly intelligent entity, the way he acts is very formulaic and predictable. No nuance and complexity to him at all. Its almost like he is a stereotypical villain, invented in the minds of men intent on controlling the behavior of others.
Besides feeling like I’m in a 1950’s time warp when I listen to the clips of the governing body members, they are THE most BORING PUBLIC SPEAKERS, EVER! They should have suicide hotline numbers posted all over the convention center just for THAT! 😂
No , seriously, we need to be there for the “Apostates” that are being shunned. I am not ex JW but for some reason, I am drawn to your work. I find ex JW’s to be the kindest, bravest most intelligent people in the cult escapist community. I LOVE how the ex JW’s are banding together to support one another. It is a beautiful thing to witness!
✨💚✨
yes
That is very sweet of you to say to all of us out here struggling to find our way now in this real world!! Thank you!! :)
"Even worldly people say: « I find ex JW’s to be the kindest, bravest most intelligent people in the [...] community.»
Isn't it another blessing from Jehovah God ? We are offered the best education recognized even by Satan-driven people. Our loving brothers shepherding your own inner life everyday is another proof of the love of God."
-- Some Watchtower extract from the future -
But to watchtower propaganda these mentally deceased apostates are now living miserable empty lives where they have probably been fired and are now homeless
Garry Iglesias 😂👍
Each Video takes me several days to watch. I can only imagine how long it takes you to produce them. Your work is so precious, you do such great research, i thank you so very much. Wounderful video, Lloyd.
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement! :)
Lett's speech shows me that JW should be sued not only for sexual but for emotional abuse of children, too.
Totally agree 🌼
Lloyd I will never forget geoffrey Jackson's reply during the Australian royal commission trial....angus Stewart asked him."do you believe you are god's only true organisation...his reply...well that's a bit presumptuous"...that was priceless.all jws who are fading out need to watch the full trial...i found it so disturbing..but the judge and solicitor completely dismantled them.
Hayley Griffiths yes his response got me too. I was floored.
Great video! Eye opener!
I got my ass beat when I didn't want to go hahah.
Wow the elders are so disconnected from reality.
Shunning has been so helpful and motivating...not really. I feel sorry for my family that will never get to share my life. They are wasting their life chasing a foolish dream.
You are loved. We love you. We are your true brothers and sisters. He blessed. It hurt when my sister first abandoned me. But a friend made me realize how truly evil her actions were. It has been 2 years now and of course I want her in my life but the pain is no longer there once I stopped putting myself out there to be hurt.
Thank you Lloyd. I appreciate you put in so much work for us.
Lloyd I love your insights and logic, but what I loved the most of this video were the faces you made when the speaker spoke about that exquisite store nonsense 😂😂
Myself and a couple of my counselling colleagues went to the Saturday convention in the afternoon, we had to leave after my colleague who is a domestic violence counsellor saw the love in the family video, she just about managed the husbands one but had to get up and walk out when the elder giving the talk said to the ‘sisters, “there is no quicker way to destroy a mans dignity and self respect and to diminish the Holy Spirit in a marriage, than by a wife telling her husband she told him it would be better done another way” I’m actually surprised that when the video showed the woman was expected to look down and be submissive, that she didn’t shout her feelings out loud.
I knew what to expect and actually thought it would have been worse but from a professional who has never seen anything like it she was appalled and disgusted
@chiafade now, yes exactly, I have only recently started talking to colleagues about my experience as a JW/ex JW and two of them came with me to this convention. She actually couldn’t believe that content, that potentially dangerous was being openly taught to so many. She was fuming, hence why we had to leave. I’m so glad they came and saw first hand as it opens their eyes, that JWs are not always nice people who wake you up on a Saturday morning. That the organisation behind it is very questionable.
Would be great idea for Counsellors to know that the witnesses teach young children very inappropriate things. This is of great concern and has the potential of psychological damage or could lead to grooming. Things like - Chapter 10 Jesus’ power over the demons - Learn from the Great Teacher Book. This is definitely not something that a young child should be learning in a bible study or as a bed time story - say at a sleep over!!!
Feeling that they can't go back on the blood doctrine because they've already caused the death of so many -- I can't think of anything more cowardly or tragic.
Its an organization that is obsessed with numbers and positions, just like the Pharisees in Jesus ’days.Thank you Lloyd!
Well said👍
“Don’t let your love for a wrongdoer cause you to act in a misguided and unloving way.” -I literally cringed when I heard that. You are being unloving by loving a wrongdoer??? Shunning is not loving. It’s psychological abuse.
Oooh...I see: so elders arent perfect, they make mistakes, they do and say wrong things - BUT we should thank them and show our gratefulness. Yet...when anyone else makes a mistake, toss them, DF them, dont cut them any slack, and cut them off.
I see...so the hypocrisy is THICK in this assembly talk!
@NonCoinCollector So you were just supposrd to be grateful that an elder verbally abused you?! Smh...this org is sick
@NonCoinCollector the elder was probably pissed that you didn't send him a thank you card for all he does in the hall. But you wouldn't know anything about that now...would you! Since not making the meetings and all! Lmao...
You should be happy that they look at you just to determine if you look repented enough
@NonCoinCollector They're really not nice people, but I do think it varies from congregation to congregation just how nasty they can get.
One of the COs in our area insistes that the branch (including himself) won’t make mistakes. What hypocrites they are! They are real Pharisees!
Loyd thanks a million i hated field service. Its been 10 years now that ive been out watching your videos just clarifies why i left. I cant believe i was duped for so long. Thanks so so much.
Totally not your fault. You're a good person and you were just trying to do what you were told was right. I'm just happy that you're free. You deserve to feel the sun on your face and the love of whatever is up there, bc it's a beautiful ride! 💜
This will be a great evening's viewing! I am both entertained and disappointed by all the changes in the "organization". Can only watch this mind boggling and toe curling rubbish thanks to Lloyds considerate presentations. Thankyou Lloyd.
1:52:45 Yes they are. They are naturally sweet little loving things, much like puppies or kittens are. They love to be cuddled and held when they are little.
I’m a prime example. I always wanted to be a doctor. I spent my youth pioneering,then married an abusive man. Now I’m almost 42 and my son is 18, just graduated high school. I’m starting school soon. I’ve been a nurse for 10 years. Guilt was heaped upon me for going to college.
I've been watching the Handmaid's Tale and the similarities between Gilead's nation wide cult and JW's are absolutely chilling.
I don’t support JWs but, that’s quite a stretch
@@amandaklanseck6656 Imagine if - hypothetically - JW's had a nation of their own. And now compare it to Gilead. JW's are fundamentalists, it would be a disaster.
@@minkalampinen9519 you are correct. They already claim they are a theocracy ... a Theocracy!! Let that sink in
@@dantoinettetaylor1663 The implications are terrifying.
Welcome to "Paradise" ladies!
WOW Lloyd! I know we live a world apart and have never met.... but, when you got to the part with Lett, I found myself laughing and talking to you through the computer screen like we have been friends since we were kids. Thanks for that! And thanks for dismantling every word that spews from his pie hole!
How is blackmailing someone to come back into a religion or else your family will shun you based around love??
🤷♂️🤷♂️😡🙄🙄
Jordan Halkier exactly !!
I have been watching your videos and I have to say , there is a saying if you look for bad you will only see bad , if you look at the good you will only see beauty. Thank you for showing me how wonderful these faithful servants of GOD. The next time they come to my door I will be loving and inviting. You are actually a angry horrible man and on kind hearted people will see thru your bias and pain.
I would like to take my hat off to all the woke people in that audience, that could stomach and sat through that mess!
Yeah cause I can't sit through it anymore. I was tired of sitting through it when I wasn't woke so now it's def a no go. Lol
Thanks for thinking of me man. I'm due to be there in a couple of weeks. KILL. ME .NOW.
I got beyond excited when this notification popped up! He he
I’m loving the new format btw, when we get to see u at the same time as the speaker. Your facial expressions are priceless.
Fantastic video, as always. Thanks, Lloyd
I really had a lot of fun tonight doing the evening ministry ... said no one ever :D
Jehovah gives us the elders? Hows that work? Arent they hand picked by other elders?
No, the elders pray about it.
Then they handpick.
Rookie 🤣🤣🤣🤣well not really funny..
Flawless system 😂
Ive got a brother inlaw thats an elder whos a drunk and abuses his family.... Hypocrites
And the nepotism is astounding
Your comments on JW funeral talks hit home. My great-grandmother's funeral was my wakeup moment. I had been disfellowshipped for a while, but was half-heartedly trying to get reinstated. But the fact that the elder spent ten minutes of a sixty-minute talk actually talking about this phenominal woman who lived to her mid-90s, saying little more than a list of she is survived by so many children, grandchildren, etc, then the remainder prociltizing to a room full of believers. That infuriated me, and was the last time I set foot in a kingdom hall.
Lloyd, you are a good example of what a theology professor of mine used to say, "Clear, concise and correct" with a sense of humor thrown in for good measure. I pray that one day my brother will be red pilled and become Woke. Thank you for your insights.
The videos serve to further indoctrinate. As a child, I longed to be one of those missionaries or Bethelites. I guess Bethel is not such a great option any more.. lol. Still, they glorify how happy you will be by focusing all your energy in the ministry. Week after week, year after year, you become convinced that preaching is the career God wants you to pursue. Forget about everything else. Also, the love JWs show seems so beautiful, but it IS NOT real. Sure, theyll almost do anything to convert you. But if you disagree with their doctrine, you are dead to them. Not real love!
Mezzo Knows yes! That’s called “Love Bombing”. It’s fake and one of the markers of a cult.
Mezzo Knows I was indoctrinated as a child. I gave WT my youth. When I left, even though I wasn’t DF’d and I didn’t waste my time and energy to write a letter of DA, people I had known for decades turned their back on me. Yet, it’s a “loving org”.
My parents were converts. My dad had been planning his suicide for 6 months and then the Witnesses knocked on the door catching him at his lowest point, my mum followed my dad.
He used to say to the JWs: 'the first lie I catch you in, then I'm out.' If only he knew what I know now!
I spent 2 years getting re-instated just to be able to give my dying grandmother peace and to kind of make a point (family as well). My reinstatement was the last meeting I ever went to.
"Wives, live under the illusion that your JW husband is a "good man"!"
I gotta go vomit now. :/
A woman no matter how experienced and full of wisdom will have to wear a hat as sign of submission in the presence the youngest most inexperienced and immature male adolescent, either gods sexist or bibles clearly written from a primitive perspective of people from that time period
like you didn't know who wrote "the bible". what else did you expect? enlightened texts with reflection and wise conclusions?
I am more excited when your rebuttals appear on TH-cam than when Netflix releases new Stranger Things season xD
Kaczita wow! That is saying a lot! 😁👍
I second that! Lloyd rocks!
Truth is Stranger than fiction, one might say 😉
These assemblies ARE literally "the upside down world" 🤣🤣🤣
You're not alone!
Love the new editing technique!!! Hahaha!! You must be thrilled it looks this great!!! Of course I love everything else!!
Lovely and beautiful comments about your kids and the unconditional love they throw at us from day one.
Okay, I have had a breather AND a stiff drink! I haven’t made it all the way through the Stephen Lett debacle and I need a repeat of both! I could NEVER get through this at all without you, Lloyd! Thank you, thank you, thank you! If it weren’t for you I would be reduced to screaming at the screen like I do every time tRump comes on the airways!
Outta Darkness I don’t know how he does it. I have to watch it in short sessions. It’s all so nauseating 🤢
Adrianne Avenicci, Truly!
Thanks for your time researching and commenting on this convention, I know it was excruciating to watch and listen. I am still in awe that I sat through these heel nipping events...while I cud have been hiking in the woods, walking my dogs or spending time with people who actually cared about me. A vicious cycle of narcissists and victims...over and over
But John, he is training children up in the way of obedience...so they can be sexually assaulted and be afraid to speak of it...and parents are grooming them to follow adults, no matter what. Brainwashing. If Steven Lett is not a pedophile, I will eat my own shorts
I'll never forget how I had a stomach flu and vomiting uncontrollably. Yet I had to go to an assembly, because my parents went and they didn't want to miss their meeting. And when I had to sit there, I was in a delirious state, sick to the gills, and I had to sit there like a good boy. Being told it was for the best because I will make it to Armageddon if I did so.
I agree with you, Detective. There is no religious child. Only a child with religious parents.
And a damaged one at that.
Speaker: Lists reasons why you need to show elders and travelling overseers love and respect.
Me: Where is your love and respect for me now I am an apostate? Elders feeling unloved comes very much under the category of NOT MY PROBLEM!
Sera - Marie I endured 15 years of : mental, emotional and verbal abuse at the hands of the elders. Even 2 circuit overseers joined in on the abuse. So much for the love. They took my abusive ex husband’s side even though he refused to work.
So true! I married a very abusive man, who abused me mentally, emotionally, verbally. He sexually assaulted me. I was told my body belonged to him and he had the right to have sex anytime he wanted. They said , “ if you don’t do your part and he commits adultery, we’re going to hold you accountable . He wasn’t working to take care of the bills. He walked out on me and our young son, still to this day, he’s in good standing with privileges. I could never understand it. I divorced him for custody and so he couldn’t get any of my finances. This all happened in 2003. So glad to be free from all this.
My husband is studying and believes my body belongs to him too, and he wants sex all the time. Even though I’m 8 months pregnant he still wants it, I want to make him happy but I’m just not interested in sex now 🤦♀️🙄🤰
@@valeriediaz82 congrats on the baby. I hope things get better.
1:25:05 - Ummm.. minor thing -- Wasn't it Sarah, in a fit of jealousy, that _made_ Abraham cast out Hagar, along with Ishmael?? That doesn't _exactly_ sound like a wife that was totally submissive to the point she didn't stand up for herself. It's in Genesis 21 for the bible students out there -- also, God seems to respect Sarah's ultimatum - because according to the same bible - he tells Abraham to do as Sarah wishes.
Yes! My Grandmother's funeral was devastated by JWS. I wanted to sing You Are My Sunshine, since she taught me that song. But nope, not at a JW funeral. They take the fun out of funeral. I wanted to celebrate my Grandma.
As an ex raised JW child - these speeches makes me sick. So glad i no longer practice any of this nonsense.
I love your video editing skills. Being able to see your facial texpression simultaneously while watching the speaker...is classic. Thank you again.
Stephen Lett’s views on kids were scarily similar to my father’s. My father was a controlling Witness man who believed praising children would spoil them, that children should be disciplined (spare the rod and spoil the child), children should be seen but not heard, children shouldn’t speak until spoken to, and definitely should be “contributors” around the house. But to a ridiculous point where I felt I didn’t get a childhood, and I often cried late at night because I felt so unloved. (Of course, if I was caught crying, I’d be in trouble then too because I had “nothing to cry about” but could be given something to cry about if I continued.)
Jesus didn’t treat children that way.
Stupidity never fails.

@@40Jdman I'm what?
Been gone since 1995 I had no regrets and I never looked back. These videos are hilarious but also sad for the ones still trapped in it shame on The Watchtower for their mind games and lies.
I always felt that 'worldlings' were innately better people than me, doing things out of genuine concern and care without asking for any reward.
I'm only a few minutes in and watching your face while the WT bigwig is in the bunker is hillarious
Why should elders be shown appreciation for performing a volunteer job they elected to do when JW’s can’t show appreciation for their parents one day a year on Mother’s Day/Fathers Day?
48:53 - Did he just say that many have been bribed into baptism? Does anyone remember Tony Morris' talk about the teenager that wanted his driver's license?
I relate to your comments about funerals being all about giving the usual JW sermon bit. I told my witness cousin who was on hand to be in control for funeral planning for my witness mother (I was no longer a witness after 40 wasted years) that I better not hear that Adam and Eve sermon again. She asked what I wanted to hear. I told her I wanted people to know about the lady who had died. She said the society was beginning to be more personal or something to that effect, and she would talk to the brother who would give the sermon. To make a long story short, he gave a sermon that actually was about my mother and her life. Not about Adam and Eve. My "worldly" school girlfriends who had known my mother from our childhood told me it was the best funeral sermon they had ever heard. A better "witness" than they would have had.
Well 3 cheers for them.
Lovely story
That speech by David Schaffer would cause a RATIONAL person to question Christianity altogether! Horrifying! 😳
He scares me.
@@conbonishgo with your gut
Something to ponder...
WT / GB have Doctors, Lawyers and Engineers, and they all had to go to the same "worldly" colleges to get their degree as anyone else!.. It's ok when someone gets a higher education just to serve WT / GB but when someone wants to get their education and take care of themselves and their family that's a problem!
The hypocrisy is outstanding! 😠
Thanks as always for your thought provoking videos! 😎
Yes the rank & file just need to be slaves & do what they are told, forget about any passions or skills they may want to pursue.
I kind of miss the assemblies... I slept so well at them!
Lol
Relatable!! Haha
Lol i could never fall asleep in public for some reason
I don't know how I payed attention during them, and wrote notes the whole time as a child. I should have gotten a medal.
I like that new feature of watching you while they give their speech. Your reactions are priceless.
I love the framed governing Body photos in the background 🍻🍾
Wow! Going after the Apostates right outta the box.
Efrain Rivera Junior that tells me that the ex JW support movement is powerful and making a real difference. That’s awesome!
“No sir, it’s not “Satan” it is the REAL TRUTH. 👍”

My daughter was hospitalized when I was studying and I had been attending every meeting so I was considered a progressing bible student. One person came to visit from the KH. Nobody asked about her and certainly no “help” was offered. She was in the hospital for 9 days, two of those in a coma. The church I work at (yes they had a talk with me about that 😂) gave me a bonus, gift cards for grocery stores and a bag of non perishable items. I wasn’t expecting that what so ever but it was amazingly kind and generous. A few of the members even came to visit to check on US and how she was. Considerable difference. So you can imagine how I felt when I was pregnant and nervous about the blood issue. I was told “IF you keep attending the hospital liaison MIGHT come to your aid and help you.” I was so scared, so I secretly told the hospital I’d take blood if needed. That issue never set well with me anyway. Such conditional love IF you are doing everything they expect.
Domestic abuse (verbal and/or physical). Just put up with it because 1. Its your fault for speaking your mind and 2. He's a good man and you just have to endure your "difficult situation".
This is not only abusive to the wife but also to the children who witness this going on.
Brandi Cotton This part made me so 😡!
I was waiting for this video.
Me too! lol I like the way Lloyd is showing the speakers and you can see his reactions at the same time. Ha!
@@lancerchoate3342 Yeah, I like that too!
Lloyd - you are a wonderful human being, and I'm so grateful for your existence. This seems to be the most fucked up convention day I've seen so far!
In 1984 I walked out after 24 years of pioneering, special pioneering,Kingdom Ministry School in Upstate NY, married a Bethelite and was headed for the Circuit work. Thank God my circuit breaker was born in Jan 965 but yet I raised both my children in this dreadful organization, I became a JW in 1960 and left in 1984. I lived through the 1975 debacle. I look at these talks and your insightful thoughts and I ask myself why didn't I leave sooner? Answer - I wanted to, but my husband was an elder and we were the "model family". After my model husband admitted immorality and I saw the real workings of the committee and the organisations double standards first hand I had enough. I disfellowshipped the WTBTS and went on to have a fantastic life. A much bigger life than I could have ever imagined. Life is good and I keeps getting better.
STEVEN LETT has wiped out all my previous thoughts ....mostly I have been swearing at the screen throughout his immoral hideous talk on something he also knows nothing about! Thanks Lloyd for showing the world this evil cult!
I keep forgetting that the Jehovah's Witnesses have a monopoly on love... then I remember shunning and wake up.
😂👍👍
I'm loving the new editing style of having the speaker cut out in the corner while yoy watch. Very spiffy!

I'm on mobile and for some reason it won't let me edit!
Yeah, the Company has lost it. Its incredible how displeased they...sorry...Jehova is. Send out those freeloading toddlers to sort laundry or wash cars! And remind them to send their icecream money pronto! Jehova needs to refill his stock of whiskey.
Love ur new format 👍
In my opinion, any person who is an elder and after reading the Shepeard the Flock book continues being an elder is a horrible human being. They are the lowest, most nauseating creatures on Earth. Elders are miserable, arrogant, power-hungry a-holes that do not deserve any type of respect. These are men who use their man giving power to harras and mentally abuse and in some cases sexually abuse the flock. These are men that use their position so to interrogate the sisters in a way that I call "Live Porn". These men are a total disgrace.
Very true about the funerals. My dad had a JW funeral,although my mom was not a witness nor the other of our family or friends who attended. My mom was in tears just about the talk. Made us feel like we were crap for not being witnesses and if we became one,it was the only way to see you loved one again. They made you feel like dirt and unworthy of even being there.
When my faded mum died we chose a local vicar to do the funeral. He didnt know her, but gave a better service than any JW elder would.
Everything you said about Steven lett is spot on. I also have a 3 month old and I agree with everything you said. Great job.
They serve on hospital liaison- this is dangerous. Uneducated elders try to run the care of a jw - think they understand lab values, diagnostic results, pathophysiology, and have the balls to tell the Drs how much fluids/medications the patient should receive. What tests should be performed, etc... Most of the jws coming into hospitals don’t even know what they have checked marked on their advanced directives. I’ve seen some ad’s that contradict itself and basically stop any treatments because of how the ad was filled out. And the jw doesn’t even know what they accepted and did not accept. Then the elders create fear in the jw patient and the jws are terrified of everything and think we are just waiting for them to turn their heads and give them blood - as if Satan is inside of us and that’s our ultimate goal instead of providing them with good healthcare - bloodless healthcare even.
I love this style of your rebuttals. Your expressions are priceless! 😂
These "hospital liaison committees" are an insult and slap on the face to all the well-trained healthcare staff, including nurses like myself. I didn't go through years of training just to be faced with those bastards when they come in to check on a sick witness. I also know that my brother and his wife didn't go through 6 years of medical school to be insulted in that manner.
Stephen Lett looks like of those videos where you turn the facial animation up 200%
Best part of having a "worldly" bf is he sees me as an equal when we make financial decisions and even when we disagree it is okay and a safe place to be. I'm glad I never got with a jw man
Yes, and so the gb member Morris didn't waste any time to convince the employee in the liquor store... 😅 Always on God's way....
By the way : I think that son was disappointed because MAYBE the only time he gets to spend with his dad is the time in service. This is another aspect of conditional love and not an aspect of true belief or Jehovah's guidance
does anyone Remember how great the Naps were during convention talks? 🙍
They were awesome 😂😂😂 bedtime story

My last time in a Kingdom Hall was at a "memorial" -- it was when I KNEW I did not believe and I wouldn't pretend anymore, no matter what the cost. And it was "expensive".
Fake love never fails...
Hahaha you nailed it!
Never been a JW but am sickened by so much of what I hear. I can't wrap my head around where the GB is coming from and how they don't see their own obvious disingenuousness and lack of common human decency with respect to non-GB members.
I struggle with my mental health. Must be Satan that makes me think "how am I feeling today?" Well, not today Satan!! Hahahahaha
How many beatings does a jw wife have to take while they're waiting for the loving kindness they are showing their husbands to take hold? As someone who knows abuse, the only way most abuse stops is through jail or death, never patiently waiting....
My JW husband was violent to me, but not enough that I was scared for my life. So I didn't have scriptural grounds to separate. Although an elder did tell me it only advice and it was my decision. So I could have left him years before. It was news to me!
I also think .....always smiling and being extra nice to people are all a part of their sales pitch. Just as getting dressed for the meetings and field service.
I love this format! Please keep it up. Priceless to see your reactions as the cult leaders spew their BS, it's hilarious!
One thing I remember my father, who was a devout JW til his death said was that he felt JW's didn't show love and that greatly saddened him, It saddens me that he gave his whole life to this organisation and was deceived.
Soo his opening comments shows that our TH-cam exjws are waking up a more and more!
Lloyd love the video as always. One thing I thought was interesting was after the first Chiho video when Lett joked about not applauding for the father. The witnesses are so brainwashed to applaud after every single video that it never clicked for them that they were applauding “bad” parenting on behalf of Chiho’s father. But Lett sure knew it.
Yes, exactly!! I thought wow, no one can think for themselves. In fact most parents in there do treat their children just like that if not a hell of alot worse when it comes to going to the meetings or out in service. Its what they learned from their own parents cause its what has been taught in a clever way for many many years in the literature. Such B.S. in this organization. Makes me sick!!
I cried when you started to talk about your babies😭
Holy shit, this one is so blatant! I've never heard them make so many direct statements that they've danced around for years. I've been eagerly awaiting this episode !!
Another great video Lloyd. Have you noticed we haven't seen or heard from Tony Morris since Bottlegate? Maybe he's being protected. Laying low for a while maybe...
