The true theme of David Splane's talk is
"SHUT THE HELL UP AND OBEY US WITHOUT QUESTION OR ELSE"
The government and the media reporting facts, are not apostates.
@Rayrad 696
What?
It is a religious name. What are you talking about?
There's not one shred of evidence that Jesus established the Watch Tower in any year.
@Rayrad 696
Jehovah is a made up name. One of God's name is Yahweh. The you have El Shaddai, Elohim, etc., etc.
@@SweetSoundOfStrings how do I block rayrad696?
The JW religion has changed. It no longer resembles true Christianity. It resembles a cult. It took a long time for me to fully appreciate this. I raise my hand, when they ask "Who is a heretic?"
It was always a cult. Perhaps not in very early Bible Students.

@@janicehussock7735 always!
It is a different organization I grew up in. I’ve therefore left
@@thomassmart2790it changes ever 15 years imo
Watchtower can't last long, really. This is like the last breaths before death, because you can't tighten the screws endlessly.
I see an analogy of David Splanes propaganda in comparison to Joseh Gobbels, the propaganda minister for Adolf Hitler right before the fall of the NAZI empire on May 7, 1945.
The internet was the beginning of the end. Too much information coming in at an uncontrollable pace. In the past, they had a tight grip and an almost absolute control on acceptable reading material.
Fast forward to the the time period of the mid 90"s until today. In the privacy of their own homes, JWs can read and verify if their faith can stand up to criticism. Since it cannot, faith begins to weaken.
Trust the Bible and what it teaches us. Do not out faith in a man or group. If GOD gave us the instructions, we don't need anyone changing HIS WORD.
@Jackilegs112 alker thank you brother. This needs to be said in love and not as an attack. Our souls are at stake here.
Oh I do hope so
Wow, what a powerful rebuttal you gave,. His talk made me sick. My brother and sister have cut me off and I’m not disfellowshipped. I feel so bad that they will not research for themselves but I’m grateful to be out. So many lies and so much blood guilt on their hands. They are Pharisees, the GB. I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
I can even tolerate listening to them because they insult my sense of what is correct and logical.
@Rayrad 696 that Jehova is a destructive piece of crap
@Rayrad 696 ah…still defending your perverse child abusing organization I see. REPENT!
I think we CAN ‘T even tolerate listening to devious speech!
Neither can I!
Geez! Never herd this talk before.
This is jaw dropping!! Unbelievable!
This GB is basically finished. Anyone sitting in the crowd listening to this and nodding their head is mentally numb.
This talk will be played in court rooms around the world. The day is coming.
JWs are hypnotized like zombies. Some wake up, some don't. The GB and Elders are the Hypnotizers.
Splane is slimy. He epitomizes WT now . They are known in the legal community in NY for their weaseling out of prosecution, taxes and investment in the area without supporting the local community. They will fall and fall hard
It's amazing hearing splane use the word "CONTEXT" In no way are the members of the governing body concerned with "CONTEXT" The org. is slowly eroding-it is imploding-they are declining-WAKING UP IS ON THE RISE !!!!!
He’s talk about THEIR context!😂
But thank you Br. Splane for reminding people to read in context and take time to know the FACTS...
Harvey . I've Heard Through Comment's People Are Leaving A lot
They have always said that they will be persecuted in the end. But in reality as you said it’s nothing more than what they hid in the dark coming to light.
Eric, thank you! You said nothing but the truth about the Watchtower. I'm hopeful that the investigation on the Child Abuse Cases in Pennsylvania bring out the facts and their is Justicia for the victims of CSA that have been kept secret by the Watchtower. You are absolutely right, Splane's talk was damage control,. They know what is coming their way.
Thank you very much Eric for this video. I have constantly been telling people that just because you leave the organization that does not make you an apostate. An apostate is someone who leave their religious beliefs. We never stopped being a Christian to become a Buddist, or to follow Jewish teachings or a Muslim, etc. Most of us are STILL Christians, and a part of the Church and body of Christ. Again, thank you. You're looking very well. I still pray to Jehovah for your good health. I'll see you Sunday.
"Don't look at negative information, come to the meetings and see how thoroughly everyone is indoctrinated!"
Sad...confirmation bias.
Or how everyone is thoroughly indoctrinated?
Yes. Everyone there is uneducated.
Lol
@Rayrad 696 you are going to get in trouble for being on an apostate/heretic channel lol oh. You don’t even listen to the GB lol ha ha ha sad, eh 😅😂

Who is an apostate, someone that teaches other than watchtower? Isn’t that claim apostasy itself?
making your own doctrine the standard instead of the Bible ?
Isn’t a Apostate someone who preach a other gospel than preached by Jesus and the apostles ?
Galatian 1; 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we ( Jesus and apostles )have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Watchtower teaches that the new covenant isn’t for everyone , that you ain’t a son of God . Isn’t that a different gospel than preached by Jesus and the apostles?
Goodbye Babylon. So does Calvinism
C Johnson
If what you said is true, Why the elders were upset and worried when I informed them, I am baptized in the Spirit?
Instead of rejoicing with me, the elders discouraged me. They told me to see a doctor and a psychiatrist. Have you forgotten the real healer? (Isaiah 53:1-12 ; 61:1-3)
They even wanted me to deny my spiritual experiences as it has never happened. How could anyone ignore his supernatural experiences of the Holy spirit? Then why do they pray for the Holy Ghost in the congregation if it is shocking for them to receive the Spirit?
(1 Corinthians 2)
My sister's husband, who also is an elder, told my sister that my experiences were from the devil. Which has caused me great concern to this day.
But the Spirit never despises the role of the Father and the Son for my salvation.(1 John 2:22) He preached the true gospel from the inspired Word of God. (Galatians 1:6-9 ; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ; Ephesians 1:13 ; Romans 10:9-11 ; John 3:16-21)
I also am doubter as Thomas. As he wanted to touch the wounds of Christ so that he would believe him, so that I could restore my confident, when I can keep (touch) my Lord's commandments which are based on Love. This way I can be sure that I am from God and Christ. I believe that my Father will dispel this poisonous doubts that are sown inside me and I will not be afraid of my suspicions at all, because the savior is greater than my doubts and Yeah He is so powerful.
Do I have a problem with everything they told me? No! I listened to their counsel and expressed my supplication through prayers. But what I realized is that the main task is to play a role that is not yours. Labeling you an "elder in the 'Christian' congregation." If they were really followers of Christ, caring for the sheep, then they should be happy for me that my sins were forgiven, and that The Heavenly Father revealed to me his Son to follow him.
I forgave them because I am also guilty. My desire is for all of us to be in Christ, to learn true spirituality from the greatest Teacher Yeshua hamashiach. (Romans 3:1-31)
C Johnson
Watchtower from 1998
Paragraph 3
Hence, only the 144,000 members of the Israel of God have properly partaken of the emblems during the Memorial of Jesus’ death, ☝️and only with them did Jesus make his covenant for a Kingdom.

@C Johnson no it doesn’t
You do not understand their teaching if you think so
This is the epitome of self delusion. Really cultish circular reasoning at its best
I can’t believe how weak David sounded in his defence of Jehovah’s Witnesses. This is an ever unfolding public relations disaster.
I don't think he believes the script he's been handed from his corporate bosses.
Very true
@@alexcampbell3032
Most Narcissists(which the GB are)know what they say is pure B.S., but it works in their favor and that's why they say it.
With them, Truth is never ever the basis or goal.
It's solely Manipulation and Control.
It's 100% Narcissistic Supply.

Thank you.
@Rayrad 696 quick question
Your post is interesting
So Why does the jw argue in courts all around the world to be RECOGNIZED as a "Religious Name"?
Can you show some official watchtower documentation that shows what you did is the official position of the watchtower ?
Thanks
@Rayrad 696 They ARE a religion because they follow teachings of the CDC Scientism CULT
My ex boyfriend age 53 and an inactive elder for the past several years is a malignant, pathological liar and a psychopath. I discovered this after catching him cheating on me (with a married woman) from the beginning of when he pursued me. I've been educating myself on JWs and reading a book called 'Psychopath Free". My ex and the GB are the same ....they are all narcissist!!
I'm an "apostate". Ex-JW. We're not all "narcissists". Thank you very much. 👍
This was so hard to watch. David splain is so desperate to hide the truth about the organization. But his obvious desperation is doing the very opposite he is trying to accomplish. This will only cause more witnesses to wake up to reality.. Thank you very much Eric very well done.
David has done a marvelous job of preparing me for next year's JW theme of the overlapping legal settlements. Thanks Eric for assisting me in interpreting this upcoming new light!

love your work Eric and much love to the entire Boroean Pickets. this channel helped me keep my faith in God when I was still mentally leaving the organization.
“Don’t believe everything the media tells you but just BELIEVE US and everything WE tell you”
Ridiculous. Jesus had the set rigged against him from the start of his ministry and he still prevailed. Setting yourself up as the truth but then denying any sort of contradictory evidence just shows that you don’t have the truth and are just like any other religion.
The days of the cult are Numbered
This makes one wonder why an organization that is so familiar with lawsuits and going to court is not suing for slander and defamation🤔
@@nicosyiallouris1103 I’m publishing a weekly TH-cam video on episodes from the life of Don Bosco, entitled ST JOHN BOSCO by JOE ZAMMIT.

Well said Eric , they are really running scared . Losing so many . Because we ARE checking the facts. !!!!!!!
This is one of the saddest videos they've ever made. Even hardcore JWs know something is wrong. Everything is going to be exposed very soon. Even the governments and institutions of the world can no longer hide the truth. Some people will prefer the darkness, but many I know have woken up over the past year.
Some of those hardcore JWs might force themselves to admit the lie because the logic and evidence is too great and it is insulting and embarrassing not to. Yet, they might stick to the org to the end not just to "wait on Jehovah" to make right; but they truly can't imagine themselves any where else. Sadly, they are on the cult hook for the life of it.
@@sammyytube5999 they are a disgusting, lying child abusing Cult peddling their filthy lies, they have predicted Armageddon many times and it never happened, how can their lies be the truth?

@@mervjohnson2140 Such a painful and ugly thought. Especially for the elderly who will feel so lost and abandoned considering all of their stolen years and money. I am absolutely disgusted with WT. There is absolutely no forgiving or revamp for them even if they got rid of their shunning and blood practice and the GB rules. I do hope that enough people have secretly awaken given this super long lock down that they are ready to spring into action and console those who would have never researched anything outside the org on their own.
Great video!!! I always laugh at the part where Splane says go to Bethel, I'll go with you. Please I saw Splane once outside of Brooklyn and he ran away from me and another "brother". So my question is "where is the love?" If a study had seen that, he would have thought "wow he wanted us to visit Bethel, but he didn't even say hello" LOL SMH
Brilliant, Eric, simply brilliant... thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you.
Well done Eric. This was perfect. Enjoyed every second of it.
Thanks again!
🙏 amen thank you God!
@C Johnson,
Forensic evidence is a witness.
@C Johnson Pedophiles will not allow two or more witnesses.
Thank you so very much. Sadly. I can’t stand what they do others and what I allowed them to do to me
I understand
@Ex Jehovah's witness #4747 thank you. I can breathe now
What delicious irony that a GB member is here complaining about the injustice of the legal system. The same GB that mocks justice with their own Judicial Committees that operate without any transparency and who assume the guilt of the accused instead of assuming innocence. A defendant in a judicial hearing must face this secret tribunal without representation, character or material witnesses and are forbidden to record any aspect of the proceedings. Mr. Splane, the measure with which you are measuring out will indeed be measured out to you.
Some smart people SNEAK IN recording devices to their judicial meetings!!!
What a danger this sect, this part of the video where he blatantly denies the US judicial system, from which they themselves take as much profit as a company that they are, and where there is no morality whatsoever, since they use the same tactics, in their "extrajudicial trials." "This should be shown to some law firm or body of law to set a precedent for what they think or preach about the US judicial system, so that later on they don't come out and say that they never said it.
@Miguel Arcangel, well said!
Totally agree.
Kinda hard for a judge or jury to feel compassion for the JW process once they find out they are viewed by them as being from Satan. Same with Russia. I’m sure Putin doesn’t make light of those accusations
When Splane said "Actually, neither side probably wants the whole truth to come out in court." it was an amazing confession. I can only imagine that he was excusing their fight against having their podophile list being revealed.
Many apostates are actually offering an antidote to David Splaine's poison.
@william sawyer,
Good comment.
I agree with you. 💯%
This guy is clearly an apostate and will be destroyed at Armageddon by Jesus and his angels! Thats a fact!
@@jmzochsnrtr
Anyone who leaves the Watchtower organisation,
and speaks out against it.
Is to be commended not belittled by narrow minded apologist like you.
Everything Eric is saying in the video is fact.
That's why you are calling him "apostate" as apposed to pointing out what's wrong in what he said.
The Pharisees did the exact same thing to Jesus when he spoke truth.
No proving what he said as wrong.
Just personal attacks.
John 8:48.
I find it funny that David Splane called others apostates
When he is the one who said
Truly I say to you that this overlapping generation will by no means pass away until all those things happen.
Who is the real apostate?
Another very intellectual presentation. Very thought provoking. I am no longer a JW or a believer in god but I would have been honored to call you brother. You are clearly an intelligent man of integrity.
This David character is clearly in the Twilight Zone! This is how the gb reasons! OMG 😱 JW’s get out and save yourself!
What DS is doing is like putting more sugary icing on their rotten teaching staff. Flies are swarming densely over his words
More SPLANEsplaining!
This is one of the best break downs and critiques of a WT GB talk. Well done.

Shunning was kind of passe until it hits home. JW's are whacked. 50 yrs my oldest bro shunned me because I didn't want to join their numbers. He calls me out of the blue for me to co-sign a note. I hung up on him. He and his wife kicked out their daughter after she gave up 30yrs of her life to the JW's. She got woken up while spreading the word for 9 yrs in China where all the JW's are hypocrites. the people I met in the local congregation were very nice to me, nothing bad to say about the people but that whacko religion is messed up.

You always make an excellent presentation Eric. The Watchtower trained you well!🤣
I'm sure they regret that now.
Thank you kindly
The Watchtower did not teach Eric Wilson well. Because the Watchtower teaches there deluded indoctrinated followers not to do any independent thinking. It is clear MR Eric Wilson has been doing a lot of critical independent thinking and outside research. Something the Watchtower Frowns upon and orders there followers not to do. MR Eric Wilson should be credited for his dogged determination and research. And going down the rabbit whole until he discovered the scam and fraud that Jehovah's Witnesses are.
Scriptures read with emphasis; gestures; audience contact, use of notes,.. yeah, they trained him alright. I even read a comment here somewhere recriminating against Eric for being such a traitor,... to have learned from Watchtower and now to be speaking out against them. Lol. haha. All those years spent serving Watchtower for free, and we're STILL supposed to be on a guilt trip for getting anything useful out of it for ourselves.
@@BeroeanPickets thank you!
The witnesses are the apostates by leaving what the Bible says, trying to look good on the outside, when they are rotten to the bones. They taught satan Is the father of the.lie, and in courts they lie so they can look good, or subvert truths
Settling out of court shows the Governing Body's lack of faith in Jehovah.
This talk gave me life. So, so good and full of blatant truth. Once your eyes are open,there is no going back. Pray for those who are PIMO (Physically in and mentally out) as they try to maintain a relationship with those they love while silently drifting away.
@@reynaldorey2020 exactly, the faith no longer has God’s blessings but i really don’t want to lose my mother, so I have to stick around a bit longer while I figure out an exist plan.
Oh happy day! With the flood of exposures to come, so many should be able to submit disassociate letters with less fear of friends and family member holding firm to shunning someone who leaves based on moral conscience. And what a sense of justice for many abused and disfellowshipped unscriptually to see their persecutor in the biggest spot light. I did not feel that I could even listen to this nauseating talk any more. Good job on the coverage and god reminder about the silent protect...lack of donations from even the most dedicated servant who will never speak ill.
So much light - this channel brings to all of us who have faith in Jehovah's word.
I agree!
Thank you Eric for making this video. Believe me, this your video would outlive many of us. Thank you again.
Thank you so much!
Just halfway through so far. I just wanted to mention that I thought it very strange that David Splane stated with glee that Eliphaz admitted talking to a spirit he didn't recognise. He chuckled a little. What was so funny? Then later when he said regarding interviewees on TV programmes "you know what those people would say", he smiled. Some of "those people" are victims of CSA. Is that something to smile about? It seemed very misplaced..very odd. Anyone else notice that? I'm reminded of Stephen Letts talk a few years ago where he said reports about CSA were apostate driven lies and he licked his lips as he said no organisation does more than Jehovah's organisation to protect children. Creepy.
One has to wonder about what spirit is behind a talk like this.
Well said Rachel!
I think about Lett's rant back then. Lying right into the faces of all jehovah witnesses. Lying to their faces with such sincerity. By now all jehovah witnesses have to be aware of all their lies. They have to be. They watch these videos. Unless they have selective amnesia they have to remember all the videos. The shunning instructional videos were my favorites and the hilarious pillowgate video. But this one is hard to beat. The hypocrisy is awesome. The best one yet. I can't wait to see them top this one.
I seem to recall that some decades ago they were reassuring the flock that 'no weapon made against you will succeed'. Apparently even quite simple weapons succeed in making Watchtower panic and lose adherents. Pathetic.
I think that David Splane really cares not about what God and Christ want, but about his position that he has achieved in the organization. After all, it is necessary to react somehow to the negative coverage of the organization's activities in the media. What he really lacks is fear of God and true love for the truth and neighbour. So either he has to tell the truth or a lie. He chose the latter. By their deeds you will know them, said the Lord.
And thank you, Eric, for the video.
My pleasure, Ilya.
Yes its their cushy lifestyle and billions of dollars they care about, he sounds like a fish in its death throws, this org is in desperate trouble and his speech proves it.
The GB member DS forgets about 1 Corinthians 11:18-19 - Any way you try to forge those verses this is obviously talking about the same church/assembly. I had to make my sister face the reality of the JW brothers and sisters who are not even allowed to talk about their doubts to one another or at least voice their opinion about the GB teaching without taking the risk of being denounced to elders and systematically labeled as 'apostate' without any public debate on the matter at hand and if standing on their ground about what they think/believe, be disfellowshiped and shunned...
How convenient for the GB who admits themselves that they can be wrong (only) because they proved it over and over again on wrong teaching to wrong prophetic interpretations... So my question to my sister was: in 50 years how many books have you studied, principles, and rules have you followed that are now considered by the same GB as wrong understanding or old truth?... Where is the Holy Spirit acting through the GB to be well inspired? Also, there is no such thing as old truth/lights... How do you know that they know better today, without any debate, and search for yourself, knowing that they ask for all your spare time to be devoted to what they ask you to do right or wrong and somehow scares you to death (at ARMEGEDOn) for listening to anything that contradicts them, or anyone can prove their case and show the GB organization hypocrisy? Paul can only be right in 1 Cor 11:18-19.
Would a liar/manipulator tell you what he/she is doing to you? Or would he/she ask you to not listen to what other people say about him/her? My sister didn't answer at first but finally admitted that she can't defy my arguments... Now she's a PIMO (scared to talk about it to my other sisters, one being an elder's wife).
Also whoever the GB claims to be... Jesus said to His apostles that there is no Master but him and that they are all brothers? All together their claim is quite ARROGANT when it comes to being an (indisputable) authority. Does a servant oblige whoever he/she serves? Or doesn't he/she have to prove how good he is to get the position? Well, that can't be achieved by just saying I'am the Lord's organization or I am anointed.
More lies!! Find facts at Jehovah's Witnesses website not this apostate liar!! Your choice
@@jmzochsnrtr there is for sure a choice to make.... If I have doubts about anyone it is not that person I can rely on, to tell me the truth. I would need several sources. For the very same reasons If you have doubts about this channel and doubts about the Media... You still can check the material and jugements produced by the courts (when it's about trials for instance).
Now the question is, who are you regarding your statement to be here acting like a "lost" JW "troll" (no argument, no proof, just statements)? Don't tell me it's only out of simple curiosity or are your statements about bitterness?... Anyone denying once doubts is in denial and will acting weird, meaning that one CHOOSES ILLUSION, but deep inside still needs to find the truth.
Thanks , for Explaining the DIFFERENCE
between being a HERETIC . . as Opposed to Referring
to Oneself as an Apostate ! 😉👍👍
It's amazing to me how many times David Splane gives information that actually hurts his argument. I don't know if its ignorance of the writing department or just arrogance that whatever he says will be seen as correct.
I think it is both. And it is pretty disturbing how rocked they are under pressure to make too many flawed arguments and still feel that they got it in the bag b/c their audience is still fearfully loyal and they are not that intelligent. Friends might be scared to open their mouth to even whisper anything right now. But trust me the wheels are turning and they are feeling the insult. They are about to find out how much they took the blind loyalty of their followers for granted when the government comes to seize them.
I was a regular pioneer in the 70’s along with my brother-in-law. He applied for Bethel and was accepted. After he was there for a year and a half he was sent back home. The stories he told are unbelievable. Homosexuality amongst the sisters and brothers caused many to be disfellowshipped, reproved, and kicked out. The governing body completely cleaned house and there was no mention of it, just covered up. The only reason I knew the details was because my brother-in-law had first hand knowledge. And of course he was disfellowshipped himself. He was born gay and couldn’t change. My two sons were born gay but raised by me as JW,s. Both baptized but could not live a lie. After being in the “truth” for thirty plus years, I woke up to the real truth. I basically wasted one half of my life in the organization.
I had a friend that is a Jehovah Witness she had the nerve to try to make me join this cult when I told her I have my own religion the next thing I know she started mailing me literature by JW and I had already told her two to three times I'm not interested in that cult the last straw was some guy ended up at my door 6:30 in the evening knocking I looked out the peephole and my neighbor opened his door can I help you and I see he goes over to the neighbor trying to hand him literature and the neighbor said no sir I'm not interested long story short I blocked her number and I blocked her on Facebook when I say I'm not interested in what's your selling I'm not interested.
So encouraging to see many friends waking up to this spiritual abuse and come to truth in Jesus and Jehovah....all scripture inspired & complete. You don’t need modern day Talmud & other doctrines of men.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIGHT THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE AMEN!!!!!
@@nicosyiallouris1103 John 14:6. A scripture very much disrespected by Jehovah's Witnesses who claim that their false religion cult is the "Truth"
JWs literally dishonor the Son and therefore dishonor the Father by placing themselves as the "Truth" Jesus Christ is "THE TRUTH" anything else is just a lie.
Amen Jesus is right these men do not do good to their enemies or pray for them....Jesus way is not burdensome but light and good for us. I will pray for them....not one of us deserve the grace God gives.....but these men glorify themselves and their ideas and false doctrines so they can have members.....Self righteous Pharisees who need to control others instead of respecting people’s free will. There’s no way to leave dignified!!!! God help them....I pray fervently that TH-cam and other media outlets will fully expose them....
Everything Splane says is designed to put words in your mouth and thoughts in your head. "You LOVE the organization..." Did you notice that his response to dealing with questions about their doctrine is to ONLY consult the sources of those doctrines? If it's the truth, it should stand up to scrutiny. You should be able to poke it with a stick. The fact that they say "don't research", "don't question", "don't harbor private ideas" is an unwitting admission that their words will not withstand examination in the light of truth.
Well said Evan!
The Truth don’t fear the lie but the lie fear the truth.
Splane's unhinged apostate rant is almost as appalling as Jackson's ARC testimony. His insane rhetoric is just creating more curiousity for those with lingering doubts.
Thanks Eric , the work of the worldwide heretics is taking it toll on the org ,just want to encourage the heretics worldwide ,as they leave the org and start to follow christ to strive to live by the bibles moral standard and be proud to be an heretic ,keep up the good work.
I'm not a religious person anymore, but I'm glad that videos like this one are available for those who woke up from the J-Dub cult and still practice the Christian religion.
Yeah I'm not xtian anymore either, but these kinds of videos help wake people up who are getting out of the JW's.
I am a from this time forward-a heretic.
I made so many excuses. It irks me when people call WJ stupid or ignorant. Neither I or many of those I knew over the decades were or are stupid, like these wonderful light bearing people here. We were hopeful at 1 time, important decision making information was hidden. They only show what they want us to see, tell us what we want to hear. It's slow & insidious. Like boiling frogs.
Your comment is very insightful. Yes. Information was hidden. We were groomed to accept abuse,... then more abuse,... Any attempt to defend ourselves was labeled "rebellion".
As hurtful as it is, we are fortunate to be among those waking up now to prepare ourselves mentally to be there for those who are about to give hit with the wake up call in major media one scandal after the other. How mind blowing it will be for them to cope with feeling stupid or ignorant when the rest of the world learns of the organization's devious practices.
@@sammyytube5999,
Good comment. But some will refuse to "feel stupid". Those who have loved their years on a power trip may dig in their heels. They will just refuse to believe that they are loosing their glory and prominence. I can't search for the scripture right now, because my software would loose what I've written. But there's a scripture about corruption that ends "and my own people have loved it that way".
@@vintage6346 yes, well said. That grooming is so evident in David Splane's very condescending voice....."now listen to me little boys and girls..I'll give you a moment to find the scripture and now don't listen to anyone out there as everyone is bad, prejudiced, and liars persecuting us.....now this is important boys and girls. Poison is poison and so are people who don't like you."
@@vintage6346 Absolutely. The org has bread them. They take their free paying job in a suit too seriously knowing that they can check a person in their face or from the stage and ruin your life. They can't wait for another brother to step aside so that he can run the show. And then there is the most earnest hearted who will weather the storm to the end with the most loving intentions to repair the community that he so cherish for a beautiful hope. It is just messed up all around as the org is so far gone that they can never be repaired to a respectable state once they hit the media. For sure the preaching work for converts will have to cease. Btw, if that scripture comes to mind, please share.
The Witchtower is a cult that isn't used to being on the defensive. For decades they would constantly berate and slam other religions and faiths. Now, they are getting a taste of their own medicine. 😄 💊
Witchtower😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂✊✊✊✊ and might i add "and babel crap sociopaths"
We don’t have anything to hide but only listen to what we tell you
This talk has made me so upset. I just pray that many of my friends and family will see through this ridiculous propaganda. But sadly many will eat it up and become more blinded, fearful and defensive, after all he says they are at war against us now. 😞
Watchtower desperately needs a "common foe" to unite what's left of it's people. I'm so glad I woke up.
@@vintage6346 so true! Always reinforcing “us verses them.”
Their pride of being 'in the truth' will keep them from admitting they were deceived by these clowns called the gb.
@@nanaalways3759,
I had heard rumors, decades ago, of an absence of spirituality on the part of the Governing Body,... who back then was only the governing body. Missionaries arrived to their foreign assignment with unflattering stories of what they'd seen in New York.
@@vintage6346 Governing Body member Ray Franz thoughtfully questions the level of spirituality during governing body meetings in his book "Crisis of Conscience."
WOW I’m at the part where he’s talking about court cases and I’m getting so mad. They actually do all the things he’s accusing worldly courts of in their man made judicial committees that are done by simple men without any experience in law or without all the facts that are easily influenced by their own prejudices 😡
Eric, this talk further emphasizes your previous point that “we must obey god as ruler rather than men”. It’s now so obvious since the JW narrative veil was removed from me a couple years back, due to my own examination. Thanks for narrating this, you aren’t just a poisonous ‘apostate’ trying to take away people’s faith. You are encouraging and are showing brotherly love and concern. Cheers
Such a well thought out and clear exposure of their motives....God is ruler! He’s our father not just a group of narcissistic men who grab glory and wouldn’t dare feed the crippled lame and poor or pray for their enemies beneath such “brothers of Christ “.
I feel like that David Splane is playing the same part that the demon played in the case of Elihaphaz
Mixing truth with lies
exactly
Surely is. I'm glad that someone is realising it
@Rayrad 696 WT org got it right when they said that religion is a racket and a snare. WT organization leads the way in being a racket and a snare as they are deceitful false prophets. A true high control group or cult.
🤣🤣, Thank you so much brother Eric 🙏 your the best, I am Glad I left the CULT JW
Thank you so much. I'm glad I left too.
Thanks for that masterful expose. Much appreciated. When I took Watchtower to court they did not settle the case before it went to court (Matt 5). They were guilty, but thought they could get away with what they had done, and mostly they did. But it cost them thousands of Euros to pay a barrister, when they could have saved that money by apologising to me. Three times the judges told WT they had breached human rights and the Irish Constitution but they chose to ignore that. Their lies during that case were horrendous. Even so, I still hope some elders can be saved from the sin-inducing secret rules of WT.
Would you have access to the court transcript? I'd love to read it.
@@BeroeanPickets I have a few judgments which are good. There is a transcript to a motion hearing I could send you which explains most of the problem, and the judgments are helpful. my email: rmoram02@gmail.com. Thanks. Sorry for late reply.
It is beautiful seeing a cult like this crumble. And I hope more and more folks leave so they can live their lives on their terms. That's why free will exists.
Overwhelming absolutely PHENOMENAL VIDEO!!!!. A MUST WATCH VIDEO FOR EVERY JW OUT THERE AND FOR ANYONE WHO IS IN A HIGH CONTROLLED CULTURE.!!!!!! Great 👍 Great Job ERIC!!!!!
Nice breakdown . Yes we will let our children die on the operating table. We will risk suicide of a disfellowshipped child by not answering the phone even for many years . Good point brothers at headquarters mostly will not comment on events, including CSA !
Told my sister the true meaning of apostate, she didn't believe me til I said look it up in a dictionary. She was floored, and during the ensuing conversation she realised what they're describing is 'heretic', which obviously has a completely different meaning
I agree with you brother Beroean. Thank you for your video. DS cannot prevent people to not open the internet. The more people get banned the more curious people get.
Thank you my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Thanks for your hard work Eric.
My pleasure!
Amen❤❤❤👍👍👍
Fantastic analysis Eric, this talk will go down in history as taking down WT. Thank you for your work and I love your sense of humour
Lol oh my. You are dilerious abd your friends or should I say wicked apostates who will be destroyed at Armageddon by the one you wage your pathetic war against Jesus himself! I pity you!
I wish you were the Lawyer in the Court Room. with the Governing body on trial !!
Wouldn't that be fun.
@@BeroeanPicketsJust wouldn't it be fun to be the legal council against the governing body though? Didn't Christ Jesus give us the parable of forgiving the debt? Did he also give us the parable of the wicked slave? Don't we have the example of the open and transparent judicial procedure at the city gates for everyone to hear, unlike Christ's own violent false trial?
@@BeroeanPickets
Oh man, I would drop everything to see that!
Bernadette oh boy! I would pay money to see that
@@BeroeanPickets,
Eric, you can't be the lawyer. We need you as the "expert witness for the prosecution". :)
Difference between Eliphaz and us ExJws is that we didn't hear from some spirit but we woke up by observing the actions of the organization claiming to be a spiritual paradise while at the same time doing all they can to prove they not.
Thank you Eric for your time and effort dismantling David's public relation disaster. He want us to be like the Beroeans. The organization enemys are growing, they want money. I spend 50 years of my live with this organization. I was victim of a concept. I fade away and Im almost an atheist.
Sorry to hear about the atheist part. I still believe in God. Men have messed up worship, but God is waiting on us to get it right.
@@BeroeanPickets nicely said.
God almighty looked down and saw his son in the form of man get it all right.
Man looked upon /beheld the word become flesh, as the exact expression of the character of our heavenly Father, to express his greatest characteristic....his love...his love for us. Reaching down with his Righteous right arm to pull us up out of our hopeless position we are in.
Thank you Father for the death burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. The uncorruptible for the corruptible.
The author and finisher of our faith.
I am convinced no one can separate me from the love of God.
Read the word find the "heart" of it.
The world hates the truth because truth calls us to confess selflessness is the answer and pride cannot accept that.
Jesus' selflessness was perfect worship.
A synthetic chemist professor By the name James tour has a TH-cam channel with many videos that contest evolution and like ideas. may not agree with his biblical doctrine but I will say he is a creationist bible believer with exceptional arguments that are easy to understand and helpful on a comprehendible but yet scholarly level to see the fallacies of "no creator".
Creation isn't popular because the world loves money.
And the devil is very invested as you know.
As a jw in the Spanish language i can say with confidence that the brothers and sisters will not be shook as easy even with knowing the truth. We are simply more hard headed or loyal to a fault in our faith no matter how wrong or right.
SO SAD , TRAGIC...
Thank you again for your thorough review of this talk. It infuriates me that they resort to fear mongering to keep members from the truth about the organization.
Excellent takedown of that charlatan, great job Eric!
New subscriber here. I think we all had to fight to keep our composure through what this WT moron was spewing! Ugh. These men KNOW exactly what they are doing!
Thanks Eric. Your rebuttals are well thought out. Your videos were instrumental in helping me wake a couple of years ago.
These people have no problems with braking up families
Making excuses for failing to do what's right. Telling everyone just how much they don't care about anything but their image. I'm of the opinion WT GB doesn't believe in a God. They certainly don't seem to like Jesus.
So true.
When I was under their brainwashed doctrine they taught me... In every situation ask yourself "What Yahusua will do in that situation".... Now i will say "Did Yahusua in the judgement will allow them to settle their sins?"...
It's so hard to watch the videos that the Governing Body are in
They make me angry and sick to my stomach and I'm being as nice as I can be here.
They are such phoney lying thieves that talk down to people like they are children.
Creepy men.
Thank you again Eric/Meleti...another stellar job! ❤
yup
Right!? When my mom sent me the link and I started to look at the videos I was shocked! But even over the years when I would attend some meetings and assemblies I could barely take. I had to leave. It's weird and doom and gloom and so much propaganda
When I was studying with them I found in Acts that there was a verse that just had a line not a scripture in the Bible they gave me . right then I would not study
"A few grains of truth are mixed in with falsehoods" pretty much describes much of what they say.
Fun fact, the Three Comforters were used to be used to talk about bad elders that make mistakes.
I’ve stopped the charades of “my religion has the truth and all others have the lie or is spurred by the devil”. This creates in us a very judge mental, close minded view of others which has caused so much wars/death and segregation/broken families/social structure. The latter is like a mental death and is just as bad if not worse than taking someone’s life . I also don’t see the reasoning that life came from nothing without a designer/creator (nothing comes from nothing, man can’t even create a blade of grass!). So that leaves me sitting here wondering why god is allowing most if not all of us to be confused with a million different religions (thousands in Christianity alone) while our eternal life supposedly hinges on our decision now. I hope one day he will make himself clear in his direction and we will all have the chance to choose if we want to spend eternity under this new arrangement rather than immediate death without fully understanding (the goats or ones seated on the ‘left’). Otherwise, why create humans with free will if we just have to follow a strict path like robots.
Let people choose once they are clearly informed, if not then armageddon will just be God’s Holocaust and it will go down in history as the opposite of love
That's right Eric. I've received more spiritual food from you than I ever received from thenm NOW THAT I KNOW THE DIFFERENCR
So happy you are gaining your strength,
You really nailed it on this video. Thank You! 👍
THAT WAS AWESOME !!! Everything: from background through facts, courage, sense of humor to the Truth. Pleasure to know you, Eric.
Thank you. You are too kind.
Here is a quote from the Watchtower book 'Revelation - Its Grand Climax at Hand!' - page 198, par 37 "In some areas of the earth, religion is so ingrained in community life that anyone who stands for Bible truth is ostracized by family and former friends. It takes great faith to endure."
John 16:2-3 " They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but an hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God. These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me."
Well done Eric! Keep up the good work! 🙏❤️👍😊✝️
Thank you David Splaine, but you don’t need to give me a minute , I was asked by a Circuit Overseer to read Prov . 14 v 15, so I did, n found it was right on point!!!! 😉😉. I pointed out to him that I was Not Inexperienced ( which was what My Bible said) and I was INDEED considering my steps.!, he was NOT impressed, 😱.......... a bit later I was invited to a Judicial 🙄
They don't know what to do with an intelligent woman.
I'm glad to be a heretic with you brother.
👍
This is the best commentary on Splane's talk that I've listened to. Excellent points clearly outlined. 👏
Wow, thank you!
I second that.
It seems they put a lot of energy fighting against apostates.
Since I left the organisation I watched a lot of sermons and visited study groups and attend to church events. One big difference is: They do not rant against so called „apostates“, not a single time. Apostates seems to exist only in the jw org.
„apostates“ are produced by this org itself. Now they have to fight against this boomerang.
They don't seem to have a problem following government covid recommendations..
Another great video, Eric. Please keep them coming.
