ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- Many of us have either been inside or drove by a Kingdom Hall at some point in our lives. Some are curious about what goes on inside! Stay tuned for some clear answers and clarifications! #Exjw #exjwcomedy #religion #christianity #exjwcriticalthinker #jehovahswitnesses #jehovah #spirituality #cultsurvivor #cults #spiritualawakening #exchristian #couplevlog #podcast #vlog #KingdomHall
The last meeting I went to, I looked around the room and told Jehovah, if these were the people he chose to fill paradise with, I didn’t want any part of it. All I could see were a bunch of judgmental, hypocritical, petty people.
Facts! Paradise doesn’t sound fun with people like that
They are a cult and they train and study how to bring people into the cult that's why you need the learn the word of God for yourself
Omg, yes! I agree 100%!
A friend of mine says the JWs are the most hypocritical and shallow people ever!
What makes the EXJW strong is that we have all experienced the same indoctrination. Who other than an EXJW could better understand an EXJW, which is why the EXJW dissidence becomes more numerous each year as the Watchtower empties. Thank you for your participation in this global information drive.
@@killakemical 😂😂😂
Yup, members are leaving in large numbers and it will continue because when a JW discovered TTATT (The Truth About The Truth), no one wants to live a lie.
@@killakemicalexplain what a demonstration is to non jws.
@@cherylseebreth328 A demonstration is a short role play to highlight some part of the JW teachings.
Jesus sent all of you to preach about the JW's or satan sent all of you to preach about the JW's??????
I used to counsel a JW kid. She was so socially awkward. She was 11 yo and her clothing and shoes looked 60. He parents didn't understand how their religion was truly affecting her social and communication skills. She didn't even know how to appropriately engage because she was so judgemental to others. The kids would be kind but she would look at them like heathens. However, to no one's surprise she was really struggling with her own demons, literally.
Great commentary.
This is 100% accurate! JW young people are very awkward and don’t know how to be regular with other people their age. It’s really sad how it messes them up.
That's how religiosity with no balance and healthy spiritual insight works. I hope that that young woman recovered from that.
I so relate to this 11 yo girl when I was in. Looking back, my childhood was a total cringe and only wish I could’ve acted normal if I wasn’t in that org. Glad I’m out, but my whole social/communication skills are messed up bc of this cult. She’s probably struggling with her own demons from being so controlled.

This is so cathartic for me to watch your videos! It's so comforting to know I wasn't the only one who was miserable at meetings, conventions, and assemblies! 😂 They were soooo boring. 😴
Straight snooze session 😂 I hated those conventions and assemblies
Same I’m glad I ain’t alone
This is HILARIOUS and ACCURATE. I cannot believe I did this well into my adult years. 😂🙄 I am so glad to be OUT! You two are great! Thank you for this honest, funny, delightful content! You all have a great skill for putting the absolute worst about this cult in HILARIOUS perspective! 😁🥰
Best place to sit at in a KH is the bathroom on the toilet.
Comedy 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Y’all out of control in these comments already 😂😂😂
Or in the baby room if you have a young child or in the back room. That’s where I spent lots of meetings. I also spent time in the car and refused to go in.
Lmao
LOL. I'm PIMO and they did a Sheparding call on me this Summer. They wanted to talk to me about modesty. I told them what is it about me that's not modest? The brother turned beet red because he couldn't tell me. I don't wear low-cut tops or short dresses or skirts. What they considered not being modest is because I wear named brand clothes, purses, shoes and I own my home and car and I'm single. A single sister is not supposed to have so much. Told me that my eyes were not simple. LOL. I told him I have a job. And I asked him which one of them were going to pay for me to live? These brothers were younger than me, talking about my modesty. 9 times out of 10, their wives were jealous because I outdress them.
They are petty 😂. The are some control freaks that love trying to tell people what to do
Same thing happened to me when I was 16 shepherding call. I PIMO already. I was wearing Victoria secrets pants that said pink on the butt. The next week the elder who came to my house brought up writing on woman’s pants and how bad it was on stage. SIXTEEN
@@netty5170 they are so disgusting. What you wear away from the hall has nothing to do with them. They want you looking like a nerd all of the time. Obviously they got turned on by your PINK on the butt!! LOL
@@AwakenTruths I was told by someone that one sister literally told the elders stop being so nosey and petty in her business. There was one brother at another cong.( we had three in my hometown) he was real nosy trying to figure out what I was watching on TV😂
Your channel is very positive. I pray that Christ will lead you guys into all truth. The way that you guys communicate your experiences will help to bring healing to others and help to break the mental prison of indoctrination through love. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for watching!
Man, I got a good one. This is when social media and touchscreen phones were starting. Many of the older brothers were complaining how the young kids were so stuck on their phone-meetings and social gathering (parties)- and also they wouldn't socialize cuz they were always on their phones. There's was even talks and watchtower studies about this. So the elders were always criticizing in talks and other adults in their comments. So one time there was a watchtower study about distraction and ofcourse the person in the platform just throwing shots after shots. So I raised my hand, I was chosen to comment and said this: "what I've noticed is that many adults keep pointing out these young kids about being distracted by this new technology. But, we have to analyze the root of the problem to understand how to solve it. All these kids don't work, so the question would be: where are these kids getting these advanced phones. All these kids are under age and don't work. So, who's buying them these phones? If we sit down and analyze this the problem would be solved." The whole room got SUPER QUIET. YOU COULD "HEAR" THE AWKWARDNESS 😂😂😂After that elders would look away or avoid giving me a comment.😂😂😂😂😂
Yooo you shut the meeting down with that 😂😂 probably got labeled bad association after that
There is no doubt in my mind you two were former JW's cause everything yall' talk about is so On Point! 🤣💀 it's almost like I wrote these videos myself, wild. Anyway you two be having me down memory lane Rollin!😆 these are too fun.
Well we were 🤣 and it is wild looking back isn’t it lol. Glad you’ve been enjoying them!
LOVE you guys!! I look forward to seeing your videos. You are the sweetest couple! Keep em coming!
I was judged just for talking to a teenage boy a couple years older than me after the meeting because he was interesting to talk to! We got along well and we were friends. And those older sisters were asking my mom if we were planning on getting married because we hung out after the meetings because we were of the opposite sex! They all gossiped so bad too. Especially the elders wives!
They don’t have anything better to do at all smh
The older elder wives used to be so salty. A younger wife was dancing at a graduation party they threw and she was talking so much junk. Bitter
I used to hate carpooling during the district convention. I couldn't cut out early.
My parents were both in the military. My mom tried to raise me Jehovah witness but I favor my father. My mom used to wake my dad up to do drills. My mom actually likes the structure of JW’s. My dad did not take the military serious but he would turn the flash lights off and make everybody scared of the bats. He was honorably discharged but my mom has medals from the gulf war.. I have their dog tags and medals at my house.. I think women gravitate to JWs for the structure not necessarily for “religion”
We always sat in the last row, always late, rarely answered, husband wasn’t clean shaven and we left not long after. We were the rebel ones which caused us to wake up especially because the congregation we moved to was dead as hell. White old middle to upper class folks and it was boring as hell. My old congregation was multi cultural, colourful, social and had a bit of life. As a sister you could get away with bright colours, jewellery and have more personality mainly due to it being the tropics and having different ethnic groups. We were really loved because we came from the field and were young. When we moved interstate we were outsiders and weren’t liked. We had far too much personality for them and I pushed against their racist, strict and religious attitudes. I was basically told to tone down by dress and grooming and the same with my husband. He would get soo much shit for him not being clean shaven every so often. I was soo shocked by the complete change and it slowly woke me up. The last assembly we attended this year was the wake up call. We had no idea our congregation was doing a part and we obviously weren’t apart of it. We had been attending and regular for months but they chose to keep it a secret from us. I was done at that point and we stopped going.
I took my binoculars as a teen to the conventions to try to stay awake and scope hot sisters. Lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I took my binoculars to the convention to people watch because it was so boring!. 😂😂 😂
LMBO 😂
Being a witness deprived me of ever getting to sleep in during the school year as a small child. No Saturday morning cartoons, or Saved By the Bell for me! I did get to wake up my classmates by knocking on their doors too early. Ahhh, childhood.
The religion definitely robs people of their childhood smh
YESSSS I LOVE IT WHEN they did the quick watchtower review. When they didn’t read it OUTT loud and just ask questions. So beautiful
It's amazing how important attendance to the kingdom hall/ assemblies/ conventions were/are. Everything said at those meetings were just regergitated material we already knew...Boring! Lol..Anyway, I love y'all's channel. You both are so down to earth/ very relatable. Keep up the good work. 😊✌🏽👍🏽❤
That is a lot of work!!! I have known a few and most left quietly, just stopped going and changed their number
I had to move to a different state and everything
You guys brought back so many memories fast... The Book study meeting was only good if it was "Goodie Night"😅
A worldwide Cult.
Yes indeed!
Did anyone comment that the watchtower magazine misapplied scriptures or they were out of context? Another great video ❤.
That’s true! I wish we would have included that in there
As you walk into ANY meeting, EVERYONE...elder, women, Young or old everyone's judged IMMEDIATELY until you leave
Omg my parents always wanted to sit in the front to the side! Even when we were late, they would walk ALLLLL the way to the front!! 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ They have no shame! Lmaooo 😂😂
We were always late and those were the only sits left..
Enjoying your channel. Off topic: Am I the only one who love the way he looks at her when she’s speaking?
Thanks for the support! And that’s my sunshine lol
Me too! It's so endearing
It's the accuracy for me. But wait, the mid-week meeting was TORTURE. After getting up early for school or work, being at either one ALL day, come home just long enough to eat and shower and then go to the meeting. We were always 30 minutes early. Sat mid-way by the wall. But as kids if we fell asleep my mom would make us stand in the middle of the aisle like a spectacle and of course the other kids would laugh at us. Way back in the day, the conventions were from Thursday afternoon to Sunday. We'd buy the food tickets to buy food. That was the only time we could fall asleep (after lunch).
That is crazy! It was a family at our hall that used to make their kids stand up if they fell asleep. Kids aren’t meant to set and listen to boring lectures for hours at a time. Adults don’t even like doing that
Pretty much accurate. 2 things : the reason they don’t have windows is because of theft and break-ins and vandalism. It makes it harder for a vandal to enter the kingdom hall after hours. Number two yes, being late is frowned upon, but that falls into the category of you as a person being punctual. Punctuality is important in life in general
there is nothing to steal.........LOL
No.
There are no windows because they don't want anyone looking in...or out.
The adherents of Watchtower come to the hall for hypnosis and indoctrination, windows are disruptive to both.
Somebody might steal some kingdom ministries and watchtowers 😂
You 2 have just brought back so many memories as a JW back in the 90's.
I hope to one day be part of your broadcast and compare notes.
Greetings from Southern California!
We would love for you to! Thanks for tuning in
"Man why they ain't got no windows, what they doing in there?"🤣🤣🤣🤣
An Elder always said about sisters "the longer the dress the longer the spirituality"..
OOOOMMMGGG ..YOOOO YA'LL ARE SO SPOT ON!! I GREW UP IN A VERY POOR URBAN ENVIRONMENT....I WOULD ALWAYS SAY " THEY WANT US TO DRESS LIKE OLD REPUBLICANS POLITICIANS". I COULD NOT STAND EVENING WITNESSING IN THE SUMMER TIME OR WHEN IT WAS LIKE 25,26 PARAGRAPH FOR THE WATCHTOWER STUDY UUUUUUGGHHH!! IT ALL MAKES SINCE NOW THAT I'M OLDER ...HOW AFTER IT WAS OVER AND WE LEFT.....I FELT ALIVE AGAIN OR LIKE AA WHOLE TON IF WEIGHT WAS LIFTED OFF MY ME!
Facts on facts! It literally feels like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders once you leave and realize all the rules are all bogus
I agree with this so much! After leaving I was so relieved to have the BURDEN of being raised and growing up JW LIFTED! It didn't make any sense when Jesus said that his yoke was kindly and light because the Watchtower was completely the opposite to his teachings!
@@AwakenTruths FAAAAAAACTS
@@MsArri81 EXAAAAACTLY SIS!!
Our Kingdom Hall bathrooms
had speakers so you could still listen to the talk during a bathroom break.
So traumatising😭😭😭
JWS is the perfect example of legalism.
Keep it coming - great channel!
I was born into this cult , my family is so ruined.
But now I know who God really is..
Btw Iove the video.
So true!!!😂
I experienced everything you talked about until I got to the age of 18 and escaped .I enjoy your humor too my Brother . hilarious.
And your wife is cool
I love your channel.
Going to these things was beyond torture
Really digging the both of you. You’re both in sync.
Loved your experiences.
Hope you’re able to help a lot of young people get out of this devil organization.
Greetings from London, England.
I ain’t been to the hall in 6 years y’all bringing up so many memories lol
You ain’t missed nothing 😂
Y'all forgot about the new music videos in the broadcast 😳
EVERYTHING we had to do was just so damn exhausting... like stop- they're doing too much. I'm so much happier now even if I do miss my family members. I just keep in mind they're brainwashed and think they're doing a loving thing. It's super annoying. Since they got rid of counting time... why not get rid of shunning too? ITS NEW LIGHT GUYS I SWEAR.
Omg so true! There is always someone trying to counsel you. I got in trouble for telling a sister to mind her own business. She complained about my long dress😂😂
You should have told her to go look up 1 Thessalonians 4:11. Mind your own business…it’s biblical🤣 the elder should’ve known that
@@AwakenTruths I wish I got a chance to😂😂😂😂
Unless it has changed I think one thing that wasn’t mentioned is that all JW’s cover the same material from the watchtowers all over the world. The watchtower is translated in all different languages but everyone is covering the same lesson in the watchtower for service on Sundays.
Another thing is the memorial and communion . (I may be incorrect as it’s been over 20 years!) In most churches everyone can take communion unless they for some reason don’t feel worthy to partake. In the JW, from what I remember communion was only observed during the memorial and only the members called to be in heaven with Christ (the 144,000) could partake of communion. I used to try and see if anyone had taken communion by looking for lip smudges on the glass. Never saw one.
Assemblies were long BUT the chairs were comfortable. The food was good.
I’m not sure you mentioned when going over the watchtower lesson they pass microphones around for people in the hall to answer the questions. I’ve never been to another faith like that.
I only went for two years when my closest friend was a JW. She was baptized in the assembly but I didn’t like when sisters had to come like 3 times and it was a like a question and answer that you had to get most questions answered correctly to be baptized. It was just baptism by faith alone. I remememver always saying “accurate knowledge of the truth” so if you didn’t have accurate knowledge of the truth you wasn’t getting baptized at that time. I remember that was the breaking point of me saying it wasn’t the church for me. After that my friend didn’t hang out with me after I said I didn’t agree with the baptism process. In other churches you never had to answer a bunch of questions to see how well you knew scripture as if you had to prove to them you were serious with all your knowledge.
I only needed a statement of faith for baptism when I was baptized in the Protestant church.
I appreciate you both sharing your experience in the church. It’s a definite high demand religion that has so many rules.
My friend is no longer part of the church but I have family that is and it’s lot.
I’m thankful I was never a baptized JW. My mother had a very serious health scare a few years ago and required over 40 units of whole blood product to have any chance of survival. I was the one in charge of life decisions for her. If I was a JW I wouldn’t have signed for her to have blood transfusions and I would have lost my mother.
Your content is very upbeat and engaging and I thank you for it.
I’m so glad that you’re talking about this!!!!!!
These topics definitely need to be covered
1:40 same! Headed right to the back or second school.
I remember those days, I don't know how I made it through lol. Been out 42 yrs now.
💕Love the boingy sound effects...💞 ✅👍🏻❗
Luv you both..too much to add to all you have said. as with all abuse isolation is the usual so each time i witnessed abuse , i believed initially that it was this poisonous
congregation but after seeing more and more in all congregations i came into contact with, i gradually backed away and faded out for the safety of my 4 year old
daughter and myself. when i released the power of the cult over me, and now fully understood that the truth will set us free. i moved completely away from the area
i lived in there and chose to never again be part of another religion after much research, also forbidden. legalism was long done away with by God and we are told in
the new testament that we live by the spirit which is love and the other qualities of the spirit which are truly of God, legalism is of man and has no love within it. this
is a short warning with much more to say but i will state no man-made religion can connect anyone to God and your true spirituality which does not require men and
organisations other than the words of Jesus who clearly stated He did HIS FATHERS WILL . that is the truth not mans religions. be careful out there.. there are many
false teaching, false teachers to lead us away from the only voice we listen to which guides us through Gods spirit within us. with much love to you all.
We actually completely agree with what you said about man made religion. We also no longer identify with any religion at all. At the root a lot of it is the same and so much control is held by imperfect humans who are creating doctrines.
New subscriber. You two make apostasy look fun 😊❤
Now this is the real best life ever 😎😂
It os not like fun, it is fun... After this dose look for goatlike personality. it's how to have a happy day all day every day. This couple leaves me smiling,...
They make small kids sit through those assemblies and conventions its torture
I used to cry bc I just wanted to go home or eat
I love your stories. I never want them to end!
Thank you! It’s much more to come!
I was never a JW. I have family members who are so I like to learn as much as possible. This video was great for me. I know what they experience on the outside but never really knew what goes on on the inside.
Bro y'all crack me up, keep it so real. I'd luv to chop it with you and talk about my experiences growing up JW, do you have an IG or FB?
Yooo we appreciate it!! My IG is JungleJuuse
So true! Y’all are adorable. I can relate to everything y’all said. Much love from New Orleans!
Thank you for your feedback! Shout out to the NOLA!
Loved the salsa music at the end💜
You guys were not yet born when the assemblies were 5 days long! 😵💫As a kid back then, that was torture 😆
Oh yea, don’t have two single people sitting next to each other, because all eyes are on them. Oh, they dating? Going to get married? Need a chaperone lol? That chaperone stuff can go! I went on a date about 4 years ago, and a sister asked were we goin to get married. What? I didn’t even know the person, and would have to get to know them to then decide IF I wanted to date them. Yep, it’s all messed up.
I remember not studying that WT lesson at times and didn’t want others to see that it wasn’t highlighted. That’s so messed up.
Man that is facts! You don’t even get to know a person because EVERYONE is in your business. It’s sad they way they almost pressure these young people to be married and then they end up miserable. It may work for some but others it’s a hell no.
Wowee, reminds me of growing up Pentecostal which wz way strict
Definitely Miss the conventions back in the day bc it was like a reunion and fun with friends but other than that NAW I'm Gucci 😅
I want to address some of the things you both said in this video. The reason why most kingdom halls don't have windows is to protect from theft. As far as the same material being presented over and over again is concerned, you have to take into consideration that some people may be new to the kingdom hall and need to hear the material; plus, we tend to forget certain pieces of information over time. Women are NOT treated as second-class citizens. As a matter of fact, the women do most of the preaching work. Women are NOT permitted to have leadership roles in the congregation. (1Co. 14:34, 35; 1Ti. 2:12) The Bible condemns tattoos. (Le. 19:28) As far as conventions are concerned, you can get up and stretch your legs or use the restroom in between talks. You're not sitting for seven hours straight. If you find the talks at the convention boring or dull, then the problem is you, not the speakers. Some of the best talks are at conventions; plus, you get to watch dramatizations on the screen. Showing up late to the kingdom hall can be viewed as being spiritually weak because you're not punctual. If you show up late for work, then you could be written up. Time management is extremely important especially if others depend on you or if you're in a leadership position.
🤣🤣🤣
I once got away wearing fish net stockings!! LOL Loving your videos
Thank you for watching!
I'm from the old school and had 3 meetings a week (book study at my house) with Saturday field service and school 🙄 I miss nothing but some of the people
Have you guys been to the Kingdom Hall in NYC? How different are the Kingdom Halls in different states & countries?
This is actually a great topic because every Kingdom Hall does come with different vibes
First!
Yoooo thanks for tapping in!
Hi Awaken Truths. Really love y'all's channel! You're definitely right about the boring meetings, assemblies, & conventions. I just left & really don't care if they call me an apostate because they have a backward idea because they're a cult that only approves of hypocrites. They would always tell everyone how to dress, & then be wearing the same outfit or say my clothes were too loud, whatever! See you guys on the next one, ✌️ ☮️, love, Janine Smiley🙂🙃🫠😉😗😘🥰😍😇❤
No windows in the hall … that seems zo be common in some countries. Really weird, I think in Germany I never once saw a windowless hall. Maybe that's building regulations. Anyway, thanks for adding your voice! :)
They would say it was for keeping the heat in during the winter 😂
I hope the watchtower watches this because they tell courts dfd people can come to worship like regular witnesses… when they know it’s a complete cut off of that person in the congregation not even saying hello.
Exactly. They lie in court and then tell the members not to watch the video footage of it
Can we get the story on how you guys met? Was there any controversy with you guys dating while there?
Yooo we can def drop a video on that here soon! We were both borderline inactive when we met and only attended a few meetings before waking up
Yes that would be nice to hear 😊 . I love you guys and how beautiful your relationship is. ❤
Tight pants Morris 😂😂😂 I was still a witness when he gave that talk at the convention.. Oh boy, we’ve talked about that for weeks. Nobody wanted to buy suits at Zara no more 😂😂😂
Morris was one of the WORST! 😂 and he was a drunk
A guy passed wind very loudly one time, I was reading the Watchtower that day so everyone there could see me trying not to laugh as they were all laughing. The study conductor was laughing as well, and the hall was in uproar for a few minutes. The culprit shrugged his shoulders, he couldn't hold it in.
It wasn't much fun being a jw, life has been far more enjoyable since I left, but that was one of the few meetings where everyone apart from the guy who passed wind had a laugh.
It was definitely some good laughs from time to time. A heavyset sisters skirt fell down during a talk, I guess a pin was holding it together. But the whole hall gasped and you could see everybody trying to hold the laugh in 🤣
Both of these comments have me in tears!!! 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣
LOL@@AwakenTruths
That happened at my Kingdom Hall too, an elderly man letting off air during the last prayer, tears were rolling down my eyes especially when he put a little extra pressure on that last fart. I am sure the whole congregation wanted to laugh out loud as I needed to but had to suppress it 😂😂😂
I call it a nitpickers and backbiters club with religious overtones 😅
That’s a good one 😂
Have you learned them.or are they just keeping you in spirit
I believe you got wrong the back seats are reserved for the disfellowship. Its called the disfellowship seating section lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
definitely the VIP section for disfellowshipped people lol
haha i just had a flashback to all the times certain people would comment and nobody ever knew what they were talking about because it was like tangentially related (at best) to the topic, or they started spouting some really out there stuff and the speaker would have to give the mic holder a stern look so he would take the mic away
Remember Constantine removed a lot from the original
btw: You highlighted so many situations whereby people judge you or get up into your private business - boy, I don't miss that one bit!
Same here! It was a very stressful time
Convention felt like a whole work shift lmao
Wait falling asleep is not allowed. 😂😂 no wonder persons were looking at me all weird 😂😂😂 slept through the talk several times
😂😂😂 it’s hard not to sleep lol
Yes, sitting there
Paying close attention to the same things you have heard for decades! And decades. Brain numbing.
You are doing great 👍🏻 thank you 🙏 so much.
Thank you for watching!
Single people of the opposite sex cannot ride in the same car or go out in service alone. Just the two of them, it raise eyebrows
So high controlling and judgmental. I remember a few years back on the platform an announcement "If your circumstances permit,.........." Oh no there's some Elders that make the circumstances for you. I would certainly like to interview with J.T. and Lady Cee, or Vivian about things I experienced about this high control group. I'm in the search for a new place to live so I can fade quietly and if need be Disassociate myself. I live with a JW's so I know as tolerant as they are, if I left by way of announcement on the platform, the Elders wouldn't waste any time coming and knocking and putting the pressure to kick me out of the house (despite living in a different territory) as part of the ............... "LOVING PROVISSION"
Me too 😂😂 omg coz I don't feel like people spying on me or asking me anything. Currently looking for a place out of state ! It's a shame that it's got to this point. Lol 😂
@@Xoxo-mh9zr lol. That's almost how is needs to be. I know despite trying to fade quietly (as was the option stated at the Australian Royal Commission that we could do) the moment you start to miss meeting, the Elders will ring your phone off the hook like a debt collector calling for payment. lol
@@SanDiegoPIMO 😂😂😂 ikr? Now they care!? LMBO
If you're running late, it's easier to just turn around and not go at all.
The hall I grew up in definitely had windows in the 90s. They built a new one when I was about 9 and that one didn’t.
Wow. I never seen a hall with windows.
Hilarious 😅
Love you guys
Awesome
The QAs from the magazines.... OMG!
you know why it always sounded like there were the "truth", that is because those magazines already have the QAs within the script, therefore they always are going to sound wise.
Now that I've been out of that, I refer to them like a Book club, where you aern't to allow to ask your own questions, just obliged to follow the script from those magazines
Raise hand hope call on you and got right answer word for word in the magazines. And the pitfiul congregation singing they do
Such a cringy time in history
Never wanted to answer questions but knew I had to raise my hand “participate” in the meeting..
Same! I hated giving comments
😅I am learning so much about JW. The two of you compliment each other beautifully. Do JW study from the Bible?
Thank you! They bring the Bible along but they actually have their own book that they claim gives a more clear understanding of the Bible lol. It quotes scriptures throughout it but they twist the quotes to back up their beliefs
My mid week meeting was on Wednesday. I swear I hated the day Wednesday. It took a long time for me not to feel stressed on Wednesday
Facts! It really ruined the week
LITERALLY ME FOR TUESDAY. Till this day Tuesday still my worst day of the week
Toooooo accurate!!!
Why did the meetings go from 3 times a week to 2 times a week ?
Those watchtower lessons are like a boxed lunch. You didn’t make it, when you answer the question, you have to stick to what’s in the paragraph, so they give you the answer, and you can’t use scriptures that are not in the paragraph. Boxed lunch. Hamsters on spinning wheels going no place fast doing the same old material over and over.
And to add to the thelma Cornish experience, her head had to be covered . she closed out meeting in prayer with her head covered. Outside of the presiding elder she was the only other person qualified and approved by the society in New. York
My husband noticed the No windows and I had NEVERRRRR notice that until he mentioned it. Also, y'all better bring shawls for your legs if your skirt rides over the knees when you sat down 😅
Nothing about this ORGANIZATION is of GOD .. People made all of the rules. That's telling....i grew up Baptist and I love fellowshiping at church but as I've gotten older, I don't do religion. BUT I LOVE ME some GOD. I love these videos
No lies being told in this video. The only thing I would say on the WT Study, the organization would counsel (excuse me “encourage”) ppl to comment in their own words, but those words had to be in harmony w/ that paragraph/lesson.
If u brought in add’l research or a scripture that wasn’t cited, u would get counseled for that, too. Sisters were counseled if their comments were deemed as correcting someone or teaching. Then the comments were supposed to be 30 secs or less, so if u made a comment that was long in nature, u would be counseled for that. Lol
The Organization want ppl to comment in their own words, but not using their own thoughts.
😂 I forgot a few of these lol...
Evidence that culture can override scriptures, cause all those rules were cultural and not biblical.
