I pioneered for 2 years in the 80's and had only one bible study, and zero baptisms. However, my older brother was brought in and baptized through prison witnessing by elders. Talk about a captive audience! Literally!
I feel the same way……I was so proud when I was a full time pioneer, having so many watchtower, I mean Bible studies, spending over 90 hours a month, serving the watchtower, I mean serving Jehovah!😂
Gr8 video, pal. You address very important issues here. And the remarks about the GB putting light on themselves instead of Christ are so clever. The kitty playing around is a plus and making me LOL. Keep your fantastic work and thanks.

@@shaydenwadley you're reading between the lines in my comment ..typical of a brainwashed JW ....I said nothing about whether he can or cannot drink....go back, read word for word.
many moons ago when myself, my then husband( a ministerial servant), and 2 of our 3 sons were asked to take a role at one of the district assemblies, we were given a script we could'nt deviate from and after our stint on the stage we were praised for our performance and told, 'what a pity we did'nt have you at the last assembly to perform as we could'nt find a family of standing in the area so we had to cobble a few people,(not related),together and pretend they were a family as an example for others to follow', so in the other district area they could'nt find 1 ministerial servant and his family to use so they made a pretend family up. it's all smoke and mirrors.
A great family and all friends for years of ours were used in a District Assembly to share experiences and the oldest daughter pioneering was the one I was sure was in it. Your video makes me wonder what they went through back then.
They NEVER knew this one was Coming, Sister who is a missionary, on Stage said her Father Sexual abused her and her 4 other sisters when they were small, he was a JW, there was a great hush, across the venue, it's IN the ARC, her Mum has died sense then was my best Friend, encouraging everyone to watch the ARC VERY HURTFUL SITUATION, SO Please keep up the good work, Chow for now lol ***...
It would be interesting to know how many people actually become JWs as a result of the preaching work and cart witnessing compared to the number who are born into it and get baptised (before they are old enough to really know what they are doing). I used to be a JW (now disfellowshipped) and was even a regular pioneer (back then, a regular pioneer was expected to do 100 hours a month),but in all my countless hours of door to door preaching I never met any one who was even vaguely interested. I also see the JWs out with their cart by my local train station every day and have never yet seen them actually speaking to anybody; they seem to be just standing there waiting for Armageddon to come. They are going to have a looooong wait!!!
It’s incredibly small. I know that’s not mathematical but the society simply doesn’t publish the detail. I know of a guy who was brought in by door-to-door work. He was the only one. He was like a celebrity in the organisation. An honest-to-God recruit from the witnessing work. You bet that experience was presented everywhere possible. I doubt it’s anything more than a couple of % and I think that’s generous. The growth in many countries is now basically population growth. So, on that basis, assume it’s just the JWs having kids at the same as the rest of the citizens. Even the name - pioneers - harkens back to a century or more ago when these people were pushing into unexplored territories that had never heard of Russel and his pyramid. I knew ‘pioneers’ who tramped the same territory for a decade. What a miserable and dispiriting activity.
I really enjoy your videos, I can relate to a lot of the things you say. I used to feel so proud of being part of this organization, now I look back and cringe to myself 😂
I remember getting shot down for putting my own spin on an answer once. I pleaded that my own view confirmed that I'd understood the source material. No. I needed to answer EXACTLY how watchtower had worded it. One witness is just another photocopy.
I never could understand why as JW were encouraged to go out and make disciples of all the nations when the governing body isn’t made up from people of all nations. Where are the Indians, Asians, Arabians, Samoans, Aborigines, people from India… They recently appointed a black man a few years ago. Does Jehovah not want them to be part of the governing body also?
I mostly listen to your videos while I’m at work. Sounded like i was missing out on alot of Cat action. That number of hours to disciple making ratio is so disparaging. My wife just stepped down from pioneering. So glad she only did it during the pandemic. I got her to sign up for a horticultural class at the local community college. Her mind is so occupied with better things now.
I’m so glad you don’t edit out Zeezy’s antics! I absolutely love it! And it doesn’t distract the message. I think they made these videos of governing body members ‘witnessing’ as a response to us apostates pointing out the hypocrisy of pressuring regular JWs about witnessing.
I found your channel a little while back and I have been watching all the videos you've made. You do a really good job on them and I love them. So I just wanted to say thanks for all the great videos that you put so much work in!
Just some more to think of: - How many are coming to the organisation (and getting baptised) in contrast to how many are leaving/disfellowshipped? - Some thousands are getting baptised? Ok sounds good - but does it still sounds good if you compare the numbers: Some millions of members worldwide and some are getting baptised - far under 0,1% new baptised! Even with giant optimism not very successful!
40 years in 6 years out and yes prison witnessing has been around for a while. I worked in an oil refinery in the PNW and yes the local congregations would try to get permission to come out to the ships docked at the plant. After 9/11 it was real hard for anybody to get into the plant that didn't have security clearance but they still tried!
Their motto has never been "fast on principles, slow on rules" he just pulled that out of his ass and its entirely inaccurate. Their motto is " Listen and Obey or be Shunned"
My mother 100% believes every member of the governing body goes out in service every chance they get, fueling her own negative self talk. She would see this and think, "Oh yeah, even they do it, why am I not getting out enough?" Despite her being disabled and chronically ill. They RULE with shame, guilt, and fueling both a negative self worth yet at the same time inflated self worth. They think they aren't food enough ever, but still so much higher above 'the world'. For people like my mother, and brother, I hate to say it but they just need to be manipulated. They need to be sheep, led along a path they don't understand but believ they do. They aren't able to appreciate the present and help make a better future now, they need to believe they are toiling for SOMETHING that doesn't make them address their own issues now. Don't worry, everything will be fixed in the new system. No need for therapy or accountability or environmentalism.
I experience the same with my mother. You couldn't describe it better. It is extremely frustrating and sad for me. They don't let themselves to live, enjoy and fix the present.
I read that WTBTS disfellowships 1% or 70,000 JWs a year. Instead of trying to get new members from preaching, they should try to stop bleeding members through their stupid and cruel DF practice.
Many years ago I was involved with Amway ( meetings, selling, report how much you sold, attending conferences etc. ( I do not know if still around). I got out quickly because of the pyramid structure and the pressure to sell, and sale is not my strength at all. At least you could earn some money there. Jehovah Witnessing is exactly the same with no gain: Not even Eternal Life. As their failed prophecies have proved.
@@exjehovahswitness ironically lots of JWs that we know we're into all sorts of MLM schemes, including but not limited to amway. They were recruiting the whole congregation including elders!
"Serving where the need is great ", "Spiritual Food", "Theocratic", "Privilege", "Ones", these are just a few of the lingo that I have grown to really detest. I found it hysterical watching Loesch "preaching" informally to some dude with multiple cameras there lmao. Your videos continue to get better, more informative and funny each time. Keep up the great content Wally. That's why I chose to support this channel.
You have the patience of Job to let that cat upstage you all the time Wally. With Zeezee's confidence (arrogance?) and your humility, it's like a great complimentary team. 😁
@@exjehovahswitness Look laughing Mocker The Governing Body is neither inspired nor perfect. It can make mistakes when explaining the Bible or directing the organization.. Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. So how can we answer Jesus’ question: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” (Matthew 24:45) What evidence is there that the Governing Body is the faithful slave? Let us consider the same three things that helped the governing body in the apostles’ time. Holy spirit helps the Governing Body. The holy spirit has helped the Governing Body to understand Bible truths that were not understood before. The list of beliefs clarified that was mentioned earlier. No human could have understood and explained these “deep things of God” on his own! (Read 1 Corinthians 2:10.) The Governing Body feels as did the apostle Paul, who wrote: “These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:13) After hundreds of years of false teachings and no clear direction, why has there been such an increase of Bible understanding since 1919? The reason can only be that God has been helping with his holy spirit! Angels help the Governing Body. The Governing Body has the huge responsibility of directing over eight million publishers in the worldwide preaching work. Why has that work been so successful? One reason is the support of the angels. (Read Revelation 14:6, 7.) In many cases, the angels have directed publishers to a person who had just prayed to God for help! The preaching and teaching work continues to grow even where there is intense opposition. This also is only possible with help from the angels. God’s Word guides the Governing Body. (Read John 17:17.) Consider what happened in 1973. The June 1 issue of The Watchtower asked whether “persons who have not broken their addiction to tobacco qualify for baptism.” The answer it gave to that question was based on Bible principles, and it was no! The Watchtower cited several scriptures and explained why a person who will not stop smoking should be disfellowshipped. (1 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 7:1) It said that this strict standard does not come from humans but comes “from God, who expresses himself through his written Word.” No other religious organization has been willing to rely so completely on God’s Word even when doing so may be very difficult for some of its members. A recent book on religion in the United States says: “Christian leaders have regularly revised their teachings to match the beliefs and opinions gaining support among their members and in the larger society.” The Governing Body, however, is not guided by what most people like. Instead, its members are guided by God’s Word, which proves that Jehovah is the one who is really guiding his people today. “REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE TAKING THE LEAD” We follow the Governing Body by following its instructions and direction. The Governing Body gives us direction through our publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions. It also appoints circuit overseers, who then appoint elders. By carefully following the directions given to them, the circuit overseers and the elders show that they remember the Governing Body. And all of us show respect for our Leader, Jesus, by obeying the men he is using today.-Hebrews 13:17. Another way that we can remember the Governing Body is by doing our best in the preaching work. Hebrews 13:7 urges Christians to imitate the faith of those taking the lead. The Governing Body has shown great faith by zealously preaching and promoting the good news. Are we supporting those brothers in this important work? If we are, we will feel happy when we hear Jesus tell us: “To the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”-Matthew 25:34-40. When Jesus returned to heaven, he did not abandon his followers. (Matthew 28:20) He knew that the holy spirit, the angels, and God’s Word helped him to take the lead when he was on earth. He gives the faithful slave today the same help. The Governing Body continues “following the Lamb,” Jesus, “no matter where he goes.” (Revelation 14:4) So when we follow the direction of the Governing Body, we follow our Leader, Jesus. Soon, he will lead us to everlasting life. (Revelation 7:14-17) And no human leader can promise that!
Seth Hyatt is a helper, he cleans the bathrooms, and he likes prison witnessing, got to bring those ex-cons in and let them experience that two witnesses rule
During all the Video, Zeezy was just wanting to get your attention! I have many cats at home and it happens so many times! Zeezy was like: "Daddy, please, see me, please give me scratchs and some love!" Ah, they can be so annoying sometimes, but we still love them with all their quirks!

Seeing friends clapping & tearing up seeing The Broadcast & Updates w/ these staged scenarios & commenting how it’s so “encouraging” to see these humble men take the lead, I can almost guarantee u that they believe they can use such production to further indoctrinate. When u wake up being a PIMO or full POMO, it’s so easy to see, but when you’re fully in belief mode, these sort of videos warms their hearts & motivate them further to “do more” for “Jehovah.”
Hi Wally 😊 Watchtower is just handing out Birthday presents this whole month lmao…. These last few vids are so clulty it’s very easy to just talk about it with some JWs, this definitely biting them in their ass lol
Lets face it religion in general by itself is in a downward trend. The generation of people today just aren't getting involved in religion like they used to, particularly in modernized countries, this is another reason why the JWS religion is shrinking in numbers . The fact that there is less JWS going out in service and pioneering now will only reduce those numbers further.
I performed most of my ministry at bars and clubs. Was never interested in pioneering or starting Bible studies. I suppose if this video came out twenty five years ago I'd be mildly interested in how things get done but it wouldn't have made me care about my own personal ministry, whatever that was.
There has been very obvious but hushed recession in JW numbers, mainly I would guess more recently from COVID. The real numbers in meeting attendance and ministry hours are completely unreliable and likely far less than reported. I suppose this is a critical time for JW and the GB because for decades they have been experiencing growth but for years now the numbers have been bad to the point they have stopped publishing them as it is becoming painfully obvious that 'growth' is no longer a word you can use for this religion. 10 years of pioneering? wow! I only pioneered for 6 months as a regular auxiliary and packed it in, I honestly didn't know how to get the hours in without lying. I could maybe do 30-40 genuine hours but most months I lied. Great analysis and video editing, you've earned a sub!
I was just listening while doing housework. I look over & there is Zee Zee looking into the camera. 😆 So cute! Made me laugh. Glad you didn't edit it out Wally!
I know of a partaking sister that certain brothers( elders) begged her to keep quiet-Why,? Because they agreed with her scriptural conversations but openly said to her..."They are trying to destroy you." (spiritually)..So,they cared enough to warn her of that particular congregations elders attitudes..but would not speak up as to what they also knew was unscriptural...One was a fill in CO...the other a spiritual Bible reading brother who had stood up for ones where there was a paedophile brother trying to be an elder again... Tch tch tch...Sad but true... spiritually
GB mindset=men in charge, women know nothing. Of course there have been a few partake, but always seem to be belittled for doing it. Shows their inability to accept what Jesus provided for all.
They been doing prison witnessing and harbor witnessing for a while now. Nothing new they try and get people who can't get away. I enjoyed your video and your commentary on these guys.
As I was fading, in my head I would refer to it as “going out in the miniseries” (instead of the ministry) in mockery of how much drama was involved in the process. Everyone would over inflate their ‘successful studies’ and their ‘good calls’ when telling others in the congregation when in fact if you were with them on one the disinterest of the householder was obvious. So much bs in the ministry such as the morning I spent three hours doing nothing but literally driving around the countryside with a ministerial servant. In good conscience I couldn’t count the time but I’m sure as a special pioneer he did. Living in upstate NY there was a push to get folks to work on their big bethel building project at Tuxedo about ten years ago. The regional branch even allowed regular pioneers to count their time spent swinging a hammer plus travel time as part of their service hours. Yup. Part of the miniseries! I was in the car with a father & son elder pair who counted their time sizing up a construction job at a local Starbucks to repair their drive through as part of their service that morning. Worse was the father encouraging the son (who was actually going to take on the job) to pad the bill since it was with a huge corporation. I recall the same father-elder being congratulated in our car group for having decided to become a full time pioneer. His ‘humble’ response was, “If I can just bring one person into the truth, it’ll be worth it!” My immediate thought was, “So if you can’t, it’ll be a waste of time then?” The drama is endless & filled with grandiose self-importance.
Wally, you're right, all these witnessing " prison, harbour etc" was around in the 60s , I lived in a city with a harbor and most sailors wanted to know where the local bars were 😂 🤣
I’ve met 3 former special full time servants (Missionaries), & while they tried to remain humble, two that gave public talks as visiting speakers could not help but to insert their assignments & “privileges” throughout the entire discourse. Mind u, the public talk had zero to do w/ their experiences & there was going to be a slide show presentation of their assignments a mere 30 mins later. So while I know it’s not a jacket to put among all, my encounters as a former elder w/ special full time servants is that they felt “just a little” special. Lol
I think its interesting from a sociological perspective how the JWS religion came to be and spread through its following adherents worldwide. Is one were to critically examine its beginning foundation it came from opportunistic American freewheeling religious charlatans who started the Watchtower publishing house and these men established doctrines that were strategically devised to enhance the proliferation of their own published works. These men made all kinds self supporting proclamations such they are the faithful discrete slave to Jehovah and his son, spoken about in the bible but in reality they were dedicated and loyal to the very organization they made themselves which created their own avenues of self empowerment within the organization.
Thank you Zeezy for your opinion. You're such a handsome boy and you like to help Dad with his work. 18+ and not JW. I could tell you a story about a cat and JWs .
@@markmello1366 Hold on to your britches. This gets really silly. It happened maybe 20 years ago or more . My dad was in the workshop/garage taking care of his plants . My cat Shithead was on the windowsill sunbathing his privates . A carload of Jdubs pulled up to the garage, looked at the window (faced the road) and here's the cat in all his glory. They came in the shop and complained that the cat was dirty and needed a diaper or something. My dad said, 'Why, he's not hurting anyone and this is a private residence, not a cat house.'. The dubs were so shocked they forgot about preaching left in a huff and never returned. Shithead got a special treat for being a regular boy cat still intact. Another cat tale. After Timber passed on a "sister" got me a new cat (age 10) to be my companion. I was working with her to help her adjust. She was special needs so needed more attention. I rarely went out in FS. Never felt good about it. My study conductor and her blood sister claimed to be allergic to cats and dogs, so if I wanted to continue the study I would have to either find a place away from home or get rid of Willow. The study didn't last too much longer. I had stopped attending meetings, assemblies and the memorial. I feel so much better now without all the pressure . Willow went across the rainbow bridge and along came Lightfoot. We've been together a little over a year . My 'sister' wanted to meet him . He was really afraid of her. (I wonder why.) So those are my Jdubs and cats tails (tales). Hope they gave you a chuckle.
@@dianemauer6185 I love cats, both of mine died finally last year, I had them over 16 years, can't bring myself to get another.. maybe I will foster adult cats
What few know is that the governing body is in place for 'leadership' but there is another group that is never shown or talked about that is above them and are the ones truly in control.
Thanks Wally your videos are very live, thoughtful and right to the core of JW's intentions. Anyway, I am very surprised if the last talk by Lett you watched with 2 JW, has not waken up many more JW members: Also I would like to know if some congregations, especially oversee have not disagreed or at least responded to the last Lett's complete nonsensical talks.
Wow. The editing gets more & more entertaining. Great job Wally. If there could just be RTO ( Regional Translation Office) for these kind of videos, i'd volunteer . Lol. Keep them coming. You have our support from Philippines.
I remember watching a movie about the mafia (organized crime) and noticing how similar they are to JW's (organized religion/crime). The narrator of the movie said they were always watching one another, all went on vacation together (I thought of assemblies), and "whacked" anybody who displeased the guys at the top (so like disfellowshipping and shunning). I wonder also how many helpers there are to the various committees and the governing body. I assume that none of these people have real jobs, such a burden on the rank and file.
Seriously now…it’s become unbelievable to me that JW’s (my family too) can possibly believe and not see through this BS. I’m not even the smartest one of the 8 siblings. I don’t see how I clearly saw the crap spewed, and they don’t 🤦🏼♀️ It becomes crazier and crazier 🤷🏼♀️
I can’t speak for all of them, but I can tell you 100% that my dad buys every bit of it. I remember when I was a kid, he would say things like “isn’t it amazing that even the governing body members go door to door?“ He absolutely idolizes them 🤮
Sad to say I think my 84 yr old parents probably believe that the GB is out there preaching, they have been in WT over 50 years......steeped in pretty deep. 🤦🤦 They forgot to mention Liquid Store witnessing......Tony Morris. 😆
@@exjehovahswitness sadly yes. For them WT is the ONLY way and even if WT was taken down and exposed of all their lies they would probably use the old "we're being persecuted" line. I don't think they could handle a faith crisis at their age, especially after more than half a century of being steeped in it. I'm really greatfull for you, and all exJW activists, that are helping members wake up and warn possible recruits about WT and exposing them for what they really are.....a book publishing, misogynist, fear mongering cult. I hope I get to see the day the tower falls. Thank you for all that you do Wally! 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏✌
I'm probably the one (!) skeeved out the "the ones" and can't quit being skeeved all over again every single time I hear it. I keep bringing it up so I'll look at the floor and blush there. But we came up with an ExJW drinking game to put on a broadcast and take a sip every time people are referred to as "ones." Another thing we were discussing yesterday was how pre-2013, nobody knew who the GB was. Nobody knew their names. Now they get petty and sniffy when little children - "the young ones" send them crayon scribble drawings of the GB members, they're that front and center up everyone's noses in the limelight.
Yeah I seriously doubt the GB takes part in regular field service. They have a real lame excuse why they don't I'm sure. Anyway you are right, the society has never spoke of the people in the organization as individuals. Like you said they always say 'ones'.
It's called controll and manipulate the lowself esteem there the only ones who can be controlled are in controled your right when you said BS . Yes there judgment is closer than you think thay are wicked wicked people taking advantage of dear people who on longer think thay deserve better treatment ...thay are all in my heart and prayers victims of victims love yourself and STOP gaveing your POWERS away.
Preach to those who will listen?!?! No wonder there was a sound of crickets. Too funny, Wally. Love it and thank you for your informational and encouraging videos. 😃🥰
Zezzy is the best, I need more! You're not too shabby yourself lol. (Just kidding obviously 😉) I'm growing to love your channel more and more. I like the upbeat, happy attitude. I've been through enough Jw trauma, tired of being pissed off and sad. I need more smiles and cats👍

So true. I had a Pioneer friend that gave "her" experience. She had to include parts of experiences from OTHER people in with hers. Scripted.

Their motto has never been "fast on principles, slow on rules" he just pulled that out of his ass and its entirely inaccurate. Their motto is " Listen and Obey or be Shunned"
Seems to me they are "fast" to the dinner table and "slow" on exercize
Troubleinparadise: That would make a great bumper sticker ‼️
ZeeZee doing part of the hard labor of calming all of us after hearing the madness of the governing body.
My mother 100% believes every member of the governing body goes out in service every chance they get, fueling her own negative self talk. She would see this and think, "Oh yeah, even they do it, why am I not getting out enough?" Despite her being disabled and chronically ill. They RULE with shame, guilt, and fueling both a negative self worth yet at the same time inflated self worth. They think they aren't food enough ever, but still so much higher above 'the world'. For people like my mother, and brother, I hate to say it but they just need to be manipulated. They need to be sheep, led along a path they don't understand but believ they do. They aren't able to appreciate the present and help make a better future now, they need to believe they are toiling for SOMETHING that doesn't make them address their own issues now. Don't worry, everything will be fixed in the new system. No need for therapy or accountability or environmentalism.
I experience the same with my mother. You couldn't describe it better. It is extremely frustrating and sad for me. They don't let themselves to live, enjoy and fix the present.
Your cat getting in front of the camera cracks me up, glad you left it in 😂
Love that ZeeZee❤
I read that WTBTS disfellowships 1% or 70,000 JWs a year. Instead of trying to get new members from preaching, they should try to stop bleeding members through their stupid and cruel DF practice.
Many years ago I was involved with Amway ( meetings, selling, report how much you sold, attending conferences etc. ( I do not know if still around). I got out quickly because of the pyramid structure and the pressure to sell, and sale is not my strength at all. At least you could earn some money there. Jehovah Witnessing is exactly the same with no gain: Not even Eternal Life. As their failed prophecies have proved.
that's what is so crazy! it's an MLM with no pay
@@exjehovahswitness ironically lots of JWs that we know we're into all sorts of MLM schemes, including but not limited to amway. They were recruiting the whole congregation including elders!
Was in to Amway and the fad Barley Green..
.. even jdubs were into crystals and energy forces from wearing a pendant..🥸
There always an endless need for new watchtower slaves. With members dying off, leaving etc. The cult is very desperate right now.
"Serving where the need is great ", "Spiritual Food", "Theocratic", "Privilege", "Ones", these are just a few of the lingo that I have grown to really detest.

I had a terrible day but you and ZeeZy actually made me giggle, thank you Wally 😊
Sorry man! hope you get to feeling better
You have the patience of Job to let that cat upstage you all the time Wally. With Zeezee's confidence (arrogance?) and your humility, it's like a great complimentary team. 😁
Wally you had to shift your face and mic to the left of the screen haha. ZeeZy wouldn't move LOL
@@exjehovahswitness Look laughing Mocker The Governing Body is neither inspired nor perfect. It can make mistakes when explaining the Bible or directing the organization.. Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food. So how can we answer Jesus’ question: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?” (Matthew 24:45) What evidence is there that the Governing Body is the faithful slave? Let us consider the same three things that helped the governing body in the apostles’ time.
Holy spirit helps the Governing Body. The holy spirit has helped the Governing Body to understand Bible truths that were not understood before. The list of beliefs clarified that was mentioned earlier. No human could have understood and explained these “deep things of God” on his own! (Read 1 Corinthians 2:10.) The Governing Body feels as did the apostle Paul, who wrote: “These things we also speak, not with words taught by human wisdom, but with those taught by the spirit.” (1 Corinthians 2:13) After hundreds of years of false teachings and no clear direction, why has there been such an increase of Bible understanding since 1919? The reason can only be that God has been helping with his holy spirit!
Angels help the Governing Body. The Governing Body has the huge responsibility of directing over eight million publishers in the worldwide preaching work. Why has that work been so successful? One reason is the support of the angels. (Read Revelation 14:6, 7.) In many cases, the angels have directed publishers to a person who had just prayed to God for help! The preaching and teaching work continues to grow even where there is intense opposition. This also is only possible with help from the angels.
God’s Word guides the Governing Body. (Read John 17:17.) Consider what happened in 1973. The June 1 issue of The Watchtower asked whether “persons who have not broken their addiction to tobacco qualify for baptism.” The answer it gave to that question was based on Bible principles, and it was no! The Watchtower cited several scriptures and explained why a person who will not stop smoking should be disfellowshipped. (1 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 7:1) It said that this strict standard does not come from humans but comes “from God, who expresses himself through his written Word.” No other religious organization has been willing to rely so completely on God’s Word even when doing so may be very difficult for some of its members. A recent book on religion in the United States says: “Christian leaders have regularly revised their teachings to match the beliefs and opinions gaining support among their members and in the larger society.” The Governing Body, however, is not guided by what most people like. Instead, its members are guided by God’s Word, which proves that Jehovah is the one who is really guiding his people today.
“REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE TAKING THE LEAD”
We follow the Governing Body by following its instructions and direction. The Governing Body gives us direction through our publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions. It also appoints circuit overseers, who then appoint elders. By carefully following the directions given to them, the circuit overseers and the elders show that they remember the Governing Body. And all of us show respect for our Leader, Jesus, by obeying the men he is using today.-Hebrews 13:17.
Another way that we can remember the Governing Body is by doing our best in the preaching work. Hebrews 13:7 urges Christians to imitate the faith of those taking the lead. The Governing Body has shown great faith by zealously preaching and promoting the good news. Are we supporting those brothers in this important work? If we are, we will feel happy when we hear Jesus tell us: “To the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”-Matthew 25:34-40.
When Jesus returned to heaven, he did not abandon his followers. (Matthew 28:20) He knew that the holy spirit, the angels, and God’s Word helped him to take the lead when he was on earth. He gives the faithful slave today the same help. The Governing Body continues “following the Lamb,” Jesus, “no matter where he goes.” (Revelation 14:4) So when we follow the direction of the Governing Body, we follow our Leader, Jesus. Soon, he will lead us to everlasting life. (Revelation 7:14-17) And no human leader can promise that!
Seth Hyatt is a helper, he cleans the bathrooms, and he likes prison witnessing, got to bring those ex-cons in and let them experience that two witnesses rule

I'm sure my dad ate that shit up. He's a dyed in the wool, elder, JW faithful to his core. Never questions, always obeys
My mom took me to a prison for a bible study when i was 8 years old! I am now 47.
Seeing friends clapping & tearing up seeing The Broadcast & Updates w/ these staged scenarios & commenting how it’s so “encouraging” to see these humble men take the lead, I can almost guarantee u that they believe they can use such production to further indoctrinate.
When u wake up being a PIMO or full POMO, it’s so easy to see, but when you’re fully in belief mode, these sort of videos warms their hearts & motivate them further to “do more” for “Jehovah.”
Hi Wally 😊 Watchtower is just handing out Birthday presents this whole month lmao…. These last few vids are so clulty it’s very easy to just talk about it with some JWs, this definitely biting them in their ass lol
I'll take a bible study with the GB. That would be phenomenal 👏 imagine getting to ask them some direct bible questions and watch them flounder 🤣

@@leadanon127 I'm immune to their flavor of bullshit.
Lets face it religion in general by itself is in a downward trend.
The generation of people today just aren't getting involved in religion like they used to, particularly in modernized countries, this is another reason why the JWS religion is shrinking in numbers .
The fact that there is less JWS going out in service and pioneering now will only reduce those numbers further.
Your videos are awesome and so well put together. Thank you so much!
I love The Office! 😂
Hi ZeeZee, he's beautiful!
I love how Zeezy just sits in front of the camera and you work around him, cats! Lol
I love that you work around the kitty 🤣
That is one reason why I left. They stopped giving credit to Jehovah and saying “us” and “we” and giving credit to the brotherhood and governing body.
It was never about God, that’s why. I had to research the history of the org and it started for the benefit of the Founder and passed down.
@@ExposingJWTeachings You're totally right.
I performed most of my ministry at bars and clubs. Was never interested in pioneering or starting Bible studies. I suppose if this video came out twenty five years ago I'd be mildly interested in how things get done but it wouldn't have made me care about my own personal ministry, whatever that was.
There has been very obvious but hushed recession in JW numbers, mainly I would guess more recently from COVID. The real numbers in meeting attendance and ministry hours are completely unreliable and likely far less than reported. I suppose this is a critical time for JW and the GB because for decades they have been experiencing growth but for years now the numbers have been bad to the point they have stopped publishing them as it is becoming painfully obvious that 'growth' is no longer a word you can use for this religion.
10 years of pioneering? wow! I only pioneered for 6 months as a regular auxiliary and packed it in, I honestly didn't know how to get the hours in without lying. I could maybe do 30-40 genuine hours but most months I lied.
Great analysis and video editing, you've earned a sub!
Cheers Wally, I'm glad you left the parts with Zeezy in.
good lord he was on one!
I was just listening while doing housework. I look over & there is Zee Zee looking into the camera. 😆 So cute! Made me laugh. Glad you didn't edit it out Wally!
Lol they canceled school for me and I’m glad because I get to see this video early
welcome to the early crew
My step dad was going out to the prison to preach about 20 years ago, and people were frequently going to the harbors to preach prior to the carts.
Please note that the footage of Tony Morris on the ministry is from 2014. You can tell by the convention badges!
That organization is the master of dividing families and listen to Losch critisizing "the world" for disunity.
I know of a partaking sister that certain brothers( elders) begged her to keep quiet-Why,? Because they agreed with her scriptural conversations but openly said to her..."They are trying to destroy you."
(spiritually)..So,they cared enough to warn her of that particular congregations elders attitudes..but would not speak up as to what they also knew was unscriptural...One was a fill in CO...the other a spiritual Bible reading brother who had stood up for ones where there was a paedophile brother trying to be an elder again...
Tch tch tch...Sad but true...
spiritually
GB mindset=men in charge, women know nothing. Of course there have been a few partake, but always seem to be belittled for doing it. Shows their inability to accept what Jesus provided for all.
They been doing prison witnessing and harbor witnessing for a while now. Nothing new they try and get people who can't get away. I enjoyed your video and your commentary on these guys.
The comedic timing in ur videos never seize to make me burst in laughter
comedy is all in the timing! hahaha Thanks and I am happy you enjoy
As I was fading, in my head I would refer to it as “going out in the miniseries” (instead of the ministry) in mockery of how much drama was involved in the process. Everyone would over inflate their ‘successful studies’ and their ‘good calls’ when telling others in the congregation when in fact if you were with them on one the disinterest of the householder was obvious.
So much bs in the ministry such as the morning I spent three hours doing nothing but literally driving around the countryside with a ministerial servant. In good conscience I couldn’t count the time but I’m sure as a special pioneer he did.
Living in upstate NY there was a push to get folks to work on their big bethel building project at Tuxedo about ten years ago. The regional branch even allowed regular pioneers to count their time spent swinging a hammer plus travel time as part of their service hours. Yup. Part of the miniseries!
I was in the car with a father & son elder pair who counted their time sizing up a construction job at a local Starbucks to repair their drive through as part of their service that morning. Worse was the father encouraging the son (who was actually going to take on the job) to pad the bill since it was with a huge corporation.
I recall the same father-elder being congratulated in our car group for having decided to become a full time pioneer. His ‘humble’ response was, “If I can just bring one person into the truth, it’ll be worth it!” My immediate thought was, “So if you can’t, it’ll be a waste of time then?”
The drama is endless & filled with grandiose self-importance.
Hi Zeezee and Winston. Good video Wally. Thank you for exposing those fraudsters.
Wally, you're right, all these witnessing " prison, harbour etc" was around in the 60s , I lived in a city with a harbor and most sailors wanted to know where the local bars were 😂 🤣
I’ve met 3 former special full time servants (Missionaries), & while they tried to remain humble, two that gave public talks as visiting speakers could not help but to insert their assignments & “privileges” throughout the entire discourse. Mind u, the public talk had zero to do w/ their experiences & there was going to be a slide show presentation of their assignments a mere 30 mins later.
So while I know it’s not a jacket to put among all, my encounters as a former elder w/ special full time servants is that they felt “just a little” special. Lol
Zeezee is like a Co host... Love it
I think its interesting from a sociological perspective how the JWS religion came to be and spread through its following adherents worldwide.
Is one were to critically examine its beginning foundation it came from opportunistic American freewheeling religious charlatans who started the Watchtower publishing house and these men established doctrines that were strategically devised to enhance the proliferation of their own published works.
These men made all kinds self supporting proclamations such they are the faithful discrete slave to Jehovah and his son, spoken about in the bible but in reality they were dedicated and loyal to the very organization they made themselves which created their own avenues of self empowerment within the organization.
I like the way he carries on speaking amidst the kitty cat directly on camera. Too cute
👋🏼Good morning, Wally! 👍🏼🥰
Good morning!
This video is filled with oh so many good chuckles. Hahahaha
Hi Zeehzi your the star ...
Of course they preach, they don't want to be inactive 😳
Yeah, why call them "ones" instead of "people"? We are all just "ones" or "zeros" to the borg. You got that 144,000 % right Wally !!
Thank you Zeezy for your opinion. You're such a handsome boy and you like to help Dad with his work. 18+ and not JW. I could tell you a story about a cat and JWs .
Must know this story
@@markmello1366 Hold on to your britches. This gets really silly.
It happened maybe 20 years ago or more . My dad was in the workshop/garage taking care of his plants . My cat Shithead was on the windowsill sunbathing his privates . A carload of Jdubs pulled up to the garage, looked at the window (faced the road) and here's the cat in all his glory. They came in the shop and complained that the cat was dirty and needed a diaper or something. My dad said, 'Why, he's not hurting anyone and this is a private residence, not a cat house.'. The dubs were so shocked they forgot about preaching left in a huff and never returned. Shithead got a special treat for being a regular boy cat still intact.
Another cat tale. After Timber passed on a "sister" got me a new cat (age 10) to be my companion. I was working with her to help her adjust. She was special needs so needed more attention. I rarely went out in FS. Never felt good about it. My study conductor and her blood sister claimed to be allergic to cats and dogs, so if I wanted to continue the study I would have to either find a place away from home or get rid of Willow. The study didn't last too much longer. I had stopped attending meetings, assemblies and the memorial. I feel so much better now without all the pressure . Willow went across the rainbow bridge and along came Lightfoot. We've been together a little over a year . My 'sister' wanted to meet him . He was really afraid of her. (I wonder why.)
So those are my Jdubs and cats tails (tales). Hope they gave you a chuckle.
Bless Shithead for showing them pornea 🙏🏻amen 💕👋🏼

What few know is that the governing body is in place for 'leadership' but there is another group that is never shown or talked about that is above them and are the ones truly in control.
the expression at Bethel was.....there is the right way, the wrong way, then the Bethel way.
Tony Morris was obviously going to do some informal witnessing at the bottle shop on a Sunday morning????? Not...
Thanks Wally your videos are very live, thoughtful and right to the core of JW's intentions. Anyway, I am very surprised if the last talk by Lett you watched with 2 JW, has not waken up many more JW members: Also I would like to know if some congregations, especially oversee have not disagreed or at least responded to the last Lett's complete nonsensical talks.
yeah the next few months will really show if that broadcast has any fallout
Wow. The editing gets more & more entertaining. Great job Wally. If there could just be RTO ( Regional Translation Office) for these kind of videos, i'd volunteer . Lol.
Keep them coming. You have our support from Philippines.
ZZ is hysterical! Love your content. Ty!
I remember watching a movie about the mafia (organized crime) and noticing how similar they are to JW's (organized religion/crime). The narrator of the movie said they were always watching one another, all went on vacation together (I thought of assemblies), and "whacked" anybody who displeased the guys at the top (so like disfellowshipping and shunning). I wonder also how many helpers there are to the various committees and the governing body. I assume that none of these people have real jobs, such a burden on the rank and file.
The sign of a cult, the control of the members.
Lmao. Hello Zeezy! You came ready for your close up 👀 🐈
Thank you Wally💙
Seriously now…it’s become unbelievable to me that JW’s (my family too) can possibly believe and not see through this BS. I’m not even the smartest one of the 8 siblings. I don’t see how I clearly saw the crap spewed, and they don’t 🤦🏼♀️
It becomes crazier and crazier 🤷🏼♀️
I can’t speak for all of them, but I can tell you 100% that my dad buys every bit of it. I remember when I was a kid, he would say things like “isn’t it amazing that even the governing body members go door to door?“ He absolutely idolizes them 🤮
Sad to say I think my 84 yr old parents probably believe that the GB is out there preaching, they have been in WT over 50 years......steeped in pretty deep. 🤦🤦
They forgot to mention Liquid Store witnessing......Tony Morris. 😆
😅👍👍👍 Bottlegate!!
You would have to be in your 80's to think that was real footage of them preaching
@@exjehovahswitness sadly yes. For them WT is the ONLY way and even if WT was taken down and exposed of all their lies they would probably use the old "we're being persecuted" line. I don't think they could handle a faith crisis at their age, especially after more than half a century of being steeped in it. I'm really greatfull for you, and all exJW activists, that are helping members wake up and warn possible recruits about WT and exposing them for what they really are.....a book publishing, misogynist, fear mongering cult. I hope I get to see the day the tower falls. Thank you for all that you do Wally! 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏✌
gawd these 8 men are REVOLTING
I'm probably the one (!) skeeved out the "the ones" and can't quit being skeeved all over again every single time I hear it. I keep bringing it up so I'll look at the floor and blush there. But we came up with an ExJW drinking game to put on a broadcast and take a sip every time people are referred to as "ones." Another thing we were discussing yesterday was how pre-2013, nobody knew who the GB was. Nobody knew their names. Now they get petty and sniffy when little children - "the young ones" send them crayon scribble drawings of the GB members, they're that front and center up everyone's noses in the limelight.
Losch needs to get one of their pay-to-slave taylor's to alter his suit. He's the only one losing weight. The rest are just gluttononing right out.
Also, 700k elderps? So one out of every 12 publishers, which includes a lot of women and children, are elderps?
Well done!
i did prison witnessing at the county jail in Yakima which is almost like a state prison anymore. these revolting men lie constantly.
I love the way you work around Zee Zee who would be Zed Zed here lol..
Yeah I seriously doubt the GB takes part in regular field service. They have a real lame excuse why they don't I'm sure. Anyway you are right, the society has never spoke of the people in the organization as individuals. Like you said they always say 'ones'.
Good morning Wally and Zeezy. This is really silly as usual. Wonder if Gumby Lett has a part?
