My favorite interaction with JWs is when 2 ladies came to our door to talk about the Bible, and my dad pulled out his Bible and proceeded to shut down every single one of their points with Bible verses. After that, whenever JWs cane to our neighborhood, they would go to every house- except ours. Because they knew they stood no chance
no its because you got put as a do not call because you seemed uninterested so we were not gonna pry its your choice to accept what we want to say and you think your so sigma for that? shutting down two woman just trying to serve god? and if someone did come back its cause theyd be more prepared for your questions and you most liklely didnt shut them down are versions of the bible are mostly the same other than the way its written instead of thys we have thes
@Mind_mender The fact that you used the words 'so sigma" tells me everything I need to know about you. Also, those women are not serving God. They are part of a cult. JW was founded in 1879; the true Christian Church was founded in 33. Galatians 1:8 tells us that the Bible is the last Testament of God, and there will be no more Gospels given to man by God. Not to mention the countless other points that I won't get into here for the sake of keeping this short, but I'd be glad to discuss it further if you would like.
@@Mind_mender "The word cult is defined as a system or group of people who practice excessive devotion to a figure, object, or belief system, typically following a charismatic leader" combine this meaning,the video and how Jehovah witnesses act and you can guess why.
I think is a little kid showed up on my doorstep in a suit and tie on a Saturday, I’m not sure I could listen to anything being said. I would only be thinking, “poor kid. You should be out in your bike today getting dirty and causing trouble.”
Exactly!! I hated weekends precisely because of that. My biggest problem during meetings was that i was bored out of my mind and i had to sit completely still for hours.. Worst part is that i could see other kids playing outside the window.. And no one would ever invite me becuase they knew who my family was..
That's right. Children should be enjoying the weekends, playing, having fun with friends or family instead of being salesmen for an organization in New York. 😞
Roughly 60 ago, when my grandmother was a young woman, a family of JWs knocked on her door. It was the height of summer in Louisiana, 100+ degree heat and 100% humidity. No one was outside by choice. The two kids were in long sleeved, thick clothes; red in the face and clearly exhausted. Door's barely open before the parents start the usual spiel, which grandma ignores to ask the kids if theyd like some water or juice to cool off, one of the parents denies for them because theyre trying to preach. Grandma ignored that and grabbed a couple juice boxes so the kids could cool off. She then proceeded to rip the parents a new one about "forcing babies to walk door to door in this heat." There were threats to involve child welfare because the kids were on the verge of heat stroke and the parents "clearly cared more about preaching than their children." Cue the parents panicking and scooping up the kids to rush down the road to their car and get out of the neighborhood. Grandma put the fear of Angry Irish-Italian Mamas into those parents that day. JWs still skip her street when they do their Saturday preaching.
I sent my mom your videos and she blocked me. Now she will have to think about your channel. She may even watch your videos. It’s the seed of doubt I sewed. She’s too proud to be wrong even if she’s 100% wrong.
The sad part about these attitudes is that in any other walk of life, denying science, facts and believing in mythical books, you are deemed mentally unwell. This does not apply to religion apparently. Religion can be great, it can teach good values and morals, however it can also be very dangerous… I hope you have other support outside your family my friend, all the best 💚
@@Aleksander_Zgraja_Star It is the Opium they use. Like Opium, religion, or rather CULTS, numb the normal senses, especially awareness, the same as Opium kills the sense of pain. SAYING: Religion is the OPIUM of the people.
Dunno about American laws, but it's weird that it is not illegal to use children for religious propaganda. It should be prohibited just like child labor. Because it is one.
@HawkThunder907 this not a religion but a cult. A cult and religion is really different. In a religion kids are allowed to play whit evryone who has a different religion while in a cult you only can hang out whit people who also in your cult. And in one of the episodes the young boy was so scared he was going to hell for touching a birthday cupcake.
In my church the pastor says we don’t have to dress nice or even go to church to praise God. We just… do. In day to day life. There are no strings attached.
Mine said if you were gay, you were going to hell (three weeks in a row), and my family just sat there awkwardly, because we do NOT believe that, and my parents know that my oldest sibling and I are both gay- I mean, you can have your own beliefs, but dude, if gay people were going to hell, then why on God's green earth would the big guy in heaven make me gay??
@@AJscorner007 yeah! Love is something no one can control, and God lets things happen for a reason. If he didn't want us he'd probably already remove us from the world or we'd feel guilty 24/7
You've got to love how JWs don't celebrate Halloween, because heaven forbid strangers dressed in strange clothing randomly show up at *their* doors. Also "trick or treat" means "I'll play a trick on you if you don't give me a treat", which is kind of similar to "join our doomsday cult or you'll suffer horribly in the Apocalypse, you tight-pants wearing heathen". Not really.
I 'm an American living in Korea. Here, the JW's have an interesting tactic. Everyone has a doorbell cam hooked up to a monitor inside their apartments. You can see who's at your door before you open it. They seem to know if its a guy or a girl living at a place. If it's a guy, they put a young pretty 20-something woman in front of the camera. If a woman lives at the place, they put an attractive 20- something guy in front of the camera But as you open the door. you are greeted by an older adult who will start the usual spiel. This is what we call "the honey trap".
I’m not sure I’d believe a young woman living by herself would open the door for a man, no matter how attractive. Some really dumb/horny ones yeah, but what sane woman would put herself in danger like that? Not saying you’re lying, I’m calling the Korean JW cult stupid for that particular tactic. I believe the man with a pretty young woman one, just not a lone woman opening her door for a random guy.
@@coolcupcake416 omg we got a real one -- how is the doomsday cult going?? to live every day towards a goal that will inevitably waste thousands of people's time???
Thank you. I grew up in the 80s/90s I wasn't allowed to wear baggy jeans and forced to wear really tight pants. I got bullied in school for my appearance and being a jdub of course.
Fashion changes and other groups appropriate them. High heels and stockings used to be for men way back when. A lot of what was typical men's fashion in the disco days would certainly be "festive" today. But these things come and go. It's just a matter of time before it changes.
A family member of mine had a problem with JWs ringing his doorbell early on Sunday mornings and each time he would open the door and kindly say he wasn't interested. He is a builder who only has the possibility to rest on Sundays. After about five weeks of this he opens the door in his boxers and loudly exclaims "We worship the Devil here!" They ran off and never came back.
I was also rung up by JWs early in the morning, I don't remember if it was Saturday or not, nevertheless I did not hold myself back from saying all the things I had to say to someone who woke me up and tried to deliver some fake ass message before I had coffee. They never came back
I was friends with a JW. She didn’t see anything wrong with it, our friends did. She wasn’t allowed to come over to someone’s house if they weren’t a JW. She wasn’t allowed to go to university. Wasn’t allowed any holidays (they did something called family day where they gave each other presents) Wasn’t allowed to wear certain clothes. I live in New Zealand and at school we learn Māori (the native people before the English came) she wasn’t allowed to speak it or do the traditional dances. She wasn’t allowed to date someone who wasn’t a JW. It was hell
What's wrong with Māori? One can't explain Bible in Māori? o.O By the way, Bible, ad an ancient and multiple times rewritten and copied text, is old fashioned about women. S.Paul's First Letter to the Corinths could pop-up in your mind, but there's more: Jehovah's Witnesses tell it aloud that males are better than females just because they're stronger and they've not got to carry a baby. I wonder if there's a cartoon about this tiny difference between the two sexes.
I think i can be some families tho, i mean all families are different i used to be a jw ( I live in New Zealand too lol) and i was allowed to do traditional dances and learn māori even joined a kapa haka group when i was school but she should be able to learn it because you need to be able to yk explain the bible in māori when she goes preaching soo, it really depends on the parents, it can be good , it can be bad.
@@Berry.VeryTeary - So, there's nothing in Bible in which a language is forbidden. Once I knew a Jehovah's Witness girl who was uneasy abour her cross-shaped necklace: as the cross is a christian symbol but not in JW community, she thought it could be against God. I don't know what her parents told her, but I was there and I told her that it was just a tiny jewel and she did not worship it. It was just a tiny ornament. Until one does not worship it, I think it's Ok. Real problems are faraway from tiny jewels, to me, but I am not a JW so I don't really know what happend to her and her necklace.
@@Havocsuppressed they called em "sound cars" and used em somewhere in the beginning of the 20th century, just google "jehovah's witnesses sound car" its literally on their website
I remember a couple of JWs used to go around the neighborhood where I lived at and go door to door. My mom really avoided them like the plague and at one point, they actually caught her outside and talked to her. After they did, my catholic mom was like “these people believe in crazy things” 😂
@@Aivottaja That is blasphemy, I’ll pray for you (joking) but for real, no we make Christ the up most important. After all, he was the one who founded the church in the first place
@@Sirmisfits1 He's shrunk to a helpless baby or a ruined body among larger, glorious statues of saints and overshadowed by worship of Mary. Catholicism is a continuation of Roman polytheism and worship of Ishtar.
@@Aivottaja just no. the reason why Catholics pray to Mary is to honor her as the mother of God (God the son but not the father, she gave birth to the Jesus Christ, the son of God reveal in the flesh) but she is not God nor a Godess. Yes, some unawared Catholics do pray more to Mary than Jesus but all the catholic priests, scholars, monks, and the true follower of Christ go to him.
Fun fact: since I've faded, the new people in the congregation don't know me anymore, and a "sister" rang my bell with an invitation to the commemoration. It was rather...creepy, ngl.
Swear it's the only time JWs smile, get excited in their lives ! They don't seem to be as excited when they speak of their " life ever after" cringy how excited they get in "celebrating" a death !
I feel that especially since i faded, every time I come back home to my parents they show me pictures of people who moved to our congregation and I have no clue who they are but they are integrated like best friends or close family from day one and that just feels too fake for me. Also i felt very replaceable in my youth while hanging out with "friends"
@@etieneko it is fake, and I realize that I sticked arround far too much for people that don't give a flying eff about me. But it's also a relieve, somehow.
JW's when you leave Every breath you take And every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take I'll be watching you Every single day And every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay I'll be watching you Oh, can't you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take? Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace I dream at night, I can only see your face I look around, but it's you I can't replace I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace I keep crying, baby, baby please Oh, can't you see You belong to me? How my poor heart aches With every step you take? Every move you make And every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake I'll be watching you Every move you make Every step you take I'll be watching you I'll be watching you (Every breath you take) (Every move you make) (Every bond you break) (Every step you take) I'll be watching you I'll be watching you I'll be watching you whoo, hoo (Every game you play) (Every night you stay) I'll be watching you I'll be watching you I'll be watching you I'll be watching you (Every single day) (Every word you say) (Every game you play) (Every night you stay) I'll be watching you
As a Jehovahs Witness child i grew up not even being allowed to buy pokemon cards due to it meaning "Pocket monster" and my parents said its "Satans doing" i wasn't even allowed to play games like Minecraft due it having zombies in it so most kids in my school thought i was weird making it hard for me to make friends.
@@Gioizout24 I'm not JW, but I was raised Baptist, and I had the same experience. When I was 12, I had to make a PowerPoint presentation defending Pokemon on biblical grounds to be allowed to play it. Don't miss the faith at all, I've never felt more free.
TL;DR for that last short: "Mom, Dad, I'm tired of having the door slammed in my face and want to take a break for a while. Is that okay?" "Did Jesus give up?" "No." "Then you're not giving up either, you quitter!"
Since Jesus is God, he literally knew exactly who would listen and who wouldn't, didn't he? My problem with most Jesus analogies is that they ignore his "divine attributes". Even if you ignore it, tho, he was still a man and not a fucking kid
my parents live really close to a JW meeting whatsitcalled, and they told me that about a week ago someone came preaching at the door, and when my dad slammed the door on him the preacher put his foot in the door to keep it open, and forced himself inside Yeah they had to call the police to get him out
Wow. I have a story similar to this! I was in my early twenties and I was over at my cousin’s place watching her twins for the morning. Took one of the babies to the back bedroom to change a diaper and heard the door open, so I quickly grabbed kiddo and went back to the living room and there was this random lady standing there in the opened doorway trying to give me a Watchtower magazine. She didn’t come in, but she sure didn’t wait for anyone to answer the door! It freaked me right out. But definitely taught me a lesson about keeping the door locked!
I once got one out by holding a dead turkey my extended family was butchering for dinner and a knife. They dont bother me anymore. The way they acted scared the daylights out of me glad they are gone. Definitly glad you reported them to the police
20:25 I imagine that many JW parents in real life would just automatically scold their kids -- and that they certainly wouldn't bother asking to kids to think up their own reason to change their minds about wanting a break! Caleb and Sophia have unrealistically understanding parents...
ye ye uncomfortable and showing anattended and we dont get forced to go to ministry they ask me if u wanna go to ministry whenever its saturday or sunday and we dont get automatically get scolded they ask me if u want to take a break or not so is either this guy just has total hate or got scolded one time and yaps about everything
I wish a JW would come to my house, I would open the door and served them tea, I would listen to everything and then I would sell them a subscription to MLM
I had a friend in high school that was JW and she was the sweetest person I knew at the time. She didn’t preach to me or anything and was just happy that I wasn’t rude to her or even wanting to talk about anything religion related as I didn’t grow up religious myself. Definitely someone I could see hopefully leaving the organization someday. But it makes me sad to think of all the people she did likely close herself off from and all of the rules she had to follow. I hope she’s doing well today and is thriving in her own personality and not one chosen for her.
if a JW ever shows up at my door I’ll just agree to go to like… a meeting or something, and wear my sunday best: - tight, ripped jeans good enough to make me look like i had a BBL - obligatory rainbow t-shirt - platform boots - egregious amount of jewelry - stylish red horn headband paired with the elegant “fountain bangs” style - face caked with so much makeup you would think i was a mime - communist manifesto in one hand, dianetics in the other - decorative blue & pink furry tail
@@abbeybelanger8118 The SPOKEN language isn't even CALLED Chinese. Chinese is just the written language; spoken languages say the Chinese letters in different ways, such as Mandarin, Shanghainese, Cantonese & Phongtua, among possible others I have no idea of. Japanese also often uses Chinese letters alongside their own additions.
When I sent this to my mom it spoke volumes to me. The shunning goes deep. My sister will never do that to me. She’ll respect my opinion even if she doesn’t agree. She would do her due diligence and read and listen to something she doesn’t even agree with. I love my sister. I just wish she wasn’t indoctrinated. I’ll get you out sis. Nmw. You will not die believing the bs they taught you.
This might help you in getting her out of that religion: the Watchtower February 2017 study edition, "Who is Leading God's People Today", paragraph 12. Ask her, "why would Jehovah let doctrinal errors be taught if it's supposed to be "the Truth?"" Also, ask her why is the JW Organization so afraid of it's followers doing research that contradicts what they are told by the Organization? Wishing you the best with your sister.
@@TheOperator37Yeah, me too. We are supposed to have a relationship with God and have a desire to glorify Him and spread the good news where God calls us to, not because some JW leaders are forcing people to do it and distorting the Bible to keep people under false religion.
I remember having this one JW girl in my school, she was always missing out on holidays and I once asked her about it, I kid you not though, she whispered to me like it was a secret that would ruin her life “I’m a jehovas witness”. I look back on that a lot after finding out about the reality behind those words (The emphasis on my comment was the fact she was probably ashamed or scared to talk about it)
7:12 As a homosexual,i agree. We invented tight pants to make other people gay too. Edit: After all of your responses,i now know our genious plan has worked.
I am Protestant, and while I agree that it's important to try and give good impressions whenever you're representing Jesus... the way you described it for JW's makes me feel like this is more of a pride thing. Like, "Hey, look at me. Didn't I do such a good job? Are you proud of me, Jehovah?" That's just... sad. Like, really sad.
once they came to my door like 5 days in a row, i tryied to be nice and undertanding, but i was upset, i told them that i only follow cthulhu and im waiting for him to wake up and desolate eath and rule over it, i say that on a pretty serius face not even a little smile, they never came back
@@TheMRWELLSI am a Christian and I would say that this is all religion. Many things that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in aren’t even mentioned in the Bible, such as not going to parties or not talking with pagans (Jesus did that!)
@@TheMRWELLS Thanks for clarifying the parties thing Someone who is pagan means that they worship a belief other than the main religion (in our case, Christianity) Christians refer to people who believe in other god(s) as pagans
I used to hate going in service, I'm from Guatemala and we had horrible, dangerous neighborhoods in the territory assigned to the congregation I went to, I always thought it was irresponsible for parents to take their children to these places. There were days that it was raining so bad and we'd still go. Nowadays, when they come knocking at my door I ignore them
@@CalamityMarMar While i generally agree. As someone who grew up as a witness. They are nothing more than a slimy cult. They cover up tons of child abuse reports. Most congregations that do have offenders, the Elders are AWARE. and do nothing about it. They target vulnerable people to convert, promising love and support. If you're baptised, even as a child. If you do something against the religion. you are SHUNNED, imagine being 15 and your own family (who you live with) can only communicate with you so much. I do not fuck with that reliqion, and i will actively speak out against it (which makes me an apostate in their eyes) It is a harmful corporation, hiding under a thin veneer of religion
I was an exjw from malaysia. I joined when I was 11 after my grandma joined for few years. Honestly I have good experience since they're okay for me. I have met few good friends as well. But one thing I don't like is the service. It's REALLY boring. I remember when I was 13, after coming back to school I have to get ready for meetings right away and I really want to fall asleep when the meetings going on. Also preparing for the meetings?? I ALR SO TIRED GOING TO SCHOOL AND DOING LOTS OF HOMEWORK 💀Luckily I only went preaching for few times before pandemic happened. It's sucks. I leave jw when I was 15, which is the begining of pandemic for family reason. I can see myself that I didn't pay attention to the meetings during the pandemic. But after discovering this channel this year, I've realized everything about this cult. Can't believe I used to believe these ppl. At least I'm glad to finally open my eyes and leave this cult earlier. Thank you panda for making contents about this sick cult. I hope this cult will be expose real bad and also hope more ppl are aware of it!
My childhood being a Jehovah's Witness is summarized in bullying, teasing and harassment at school and towards the other children in my neighborhood. Plus I'm autistic and I was never good at communicating with other people, so every day after preaching or going to meetings I was guaranteed a beating from my mother for not knowing how to preach well or not being able to sit still for 2 hours of preaching and meeting. . Added to that is that at 15 years old I told my parents that I was gay, it was another beating and almost 6 months without them speaking to me, in addition to consecutive sessions with the elders of the congregation to be able to deal with my "situation." I literally still go to psychologists and psychiatrists because of the various traumas that my parents and that cult left me with.
I hope you'll be able to give that horrible past a place and grow beyond it. Stuff like that scars you for life. The abuse you had to go through is not ok, its torture, by all means. Discover and be your glorious unapologetic self. No one can tell you who you are but you. Shine and slay, be the dazzling light you're meant to be
I've never seen a child JW witness before but man that sounds like a great time for the kids.. knocking on random strangers doors possibly alone... What's the worst that can happen.
@@Aivottaja When I was a witness, we always had kids with adults, but would sometimes the adult would stand just out of sight and let a couple kids come up to the door on their own. I have no idea why I ever thought any of this was ok, but that's brainwashing for you.
I once got my bank information, as well as $1000 stolen from me. I managed to get it all back, over the course of 6 months, however I told one of my friends to order a house visit from Jehovah's Witnesses to teach him a lesson about stealing as revenge.
I was born into the jehovahs witnesses and left when I was 18. These videos really trigger something in me that I suppressed completely and forgot it's crazy... I've watched these videos at one point and was excited and thought it was normal. Watching them now it's really sad and honestly disturbing.
yea this is why actual Christians dont associate with them lol the bible literally says there is a hell and that Jesus is God and they just ignore it duh they preach the bible and know nothing about it
Jehovah's witnesses are forbidden from celebrating any type of holiday Christmas birthday parties Halloween etc so because they had a Jehovah's witness kid in the class they were unable to celebrate because of his beliefs
3:10 man you got me laughing like the 32 yo man-child that I am. I’m loving this channel btw. I’m not an ex JW, but I am an ex-Mormon. And well, same shit different toilet. Your content has been refreshing, and it’s helped undo a lot of the gaslighting to.
I cringed shortly after 1:44, when I realised how exposed that child is. We had a Jewish boy, Herrman, in our elementary school growing up. This was in the early 2000's. He was made to live religiously per his dad's wishes. That meant different clothing (others were not allowed to wear hats indoors, even if they would like to since "it's not our culture, it's his"), different food that looked way fresher, and he got to leave school earlier than other students on fridays. Some of the other eight-year-olds interpreted this as preferential treatment. It became a controversy the class. American rappers were all the rage, so some boys wondered why they couldn't look cool if Herrman could wear his hat indoors? Teachers explained this only with "that's their religion, end of story". Then when this eight-year-old couldn't answer questions about his dad's religion (who could?), he was eventually bullied. Don't make small children ambassadors for your religion, they can't handle it. If you are a teacher, don't set up different rules for different children without a painstaking explanation as to why. I felt bad for Herrman, he had to change schools. I still think about his fate sometimes.
When I was a young kid at some point I got sick during service, got diarhea and shat myself. I was dropped off at home and didn't have to return that day. Probably still one of the best Saturday mornings I had growing up as a JW 😛. I was so happy when it really poured rain, too much to go in service 😀
The word "no" or "not interested" is a kryptonite for JW because when I used to say those words, they would be like: "Can I read you one verse" which shows their annoying persistence. Each time they were at my door, I would straight up ignore.
Hi, a JW here, when people say to not visit them we eliminate the name from addresses to preach to, but only if you let us know that you don’t want us to knock
@@TheCrimsonTree are all JWs do that? Because my host family house always get knocked at every week for the entirety of 6 months I was there even though they said no and not interested over and over again
@@artia25254 yes I believe we all do, but sometimes they may forget to write it down, unless they are the same people, then that isn’t in our control and it goes against our beliefs
I feel bad for u man, i kinda feel what you’re going through, i know my dad wouldn’t understand me being an atheistic satanist because he’s catholic and would probably think i worship the devil or sum when i in fact do the exact opposite.
sadly, my grandma was manipulated by this cult and she tried getting me to join it without my parents knowing it. when i was a kid she showed me these cartoons and then Jehovah's Witness tried separating her from the rest of my family
“The homosexuals who are designing these clothes want you it tight pants” OH MY GOD???? Ex-JW here and I NEVER HEARD THIS, I LITERALLY MET THE BROTHER WHO SAID IT (might’ve been someone else idk they’re all balding white men with gray hair) AND NEVER KNEW THATS ACTUALLY INSANE
My mom once went to 3 JW meetings because she felt guilty if she said no to a 5 year old. To be fair, she was adorable. She had silky dark hair and mesmerizing green eyes, she was so cute.
Bro thats literally how they get you, its so sad that they use children to get people to do shit because you feel worse saying no to a child than an adult
No the tight pants is actually true, as an affiliate of the homosexuals, we collectively decided to design a type of pants that is specifically designed to draw you away from god I hope the /s is obvious
If you're referring to George Orwell's 1984 or Aldous Huxley's A Brave New World, those aren't purely fictional, they're also partly predictions and warnings, and we're in it right now.
the fact that The Ministry is a villain group in a roblox game called Deepwoken is CRAZY. What’s funnier is that they’re a cult focused on bringing the world down. Hmm…
@@spring063_4 yeah, we realized that she keeps changing colours, one time she looked a bit arabic, then Latino, then american, it is actually kinda funny haha
Very nice. I can't even believe they made that video where it just ends with the bully opening the door! Why would any kid want to go in the ministry after that?? I will say the most embarrassing thing that happened to me in the ministry was some people laughing and making sex noises after I knocked on the door. As a teenager I was absolutely traumatized.
Getting mocked by getting a classmate ONCE. Tried to find as many address of regular classmates as I could and avoided those houses. Hated D2D NEVER talked about religion in school. I & 3 others besides me and we never told anyone, that's how much we hated it. Pushing kids like they do Sophia & Caleb in school is just plain WRONG.
They make him have improper thoughts about men's rears so therefore it's a big gay ploy to tempt good Christian men into the strong sensual arms of homosexuality
I learned from a young age that you DO NOT answer the door when the Jehovah’s Witnesses were at the door. Eventually, they’d leave a tract in the mailbox and walk away. It was the art in the tracts I found interesting, but none of them wanted to talk about that, of course.
I feel bad for laughing at them despite that they're fictional characters and that they're just doing what they were taught, but those rejections were hilarious to me.
and the kids really have no idea why. They don't even know enough about their own religion and parents try to get them to push it on others. SMH 🙄😢😭 child abuse many of us have gone thru
A JW once knocked on my door when I was home alone. I obviously didn’t answer cuz stranger danger😭 when I tell you that person started BANGING on my door
A protestant christian here and I just wanted to say... WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?! "Love thy neighbour", isn't THAT what Jesus told us? No matter religion, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, IT DOES NOT MATTER. EVERYONE are deserving of love❤
@@Salvage5681 I don't want you to be drowed in false teachings brother, so here's a message. Jesus Christ never even was religious, religion was his main opposition. Look into the evidence, the historic and archeological as well as mathematical evidences. That the scriptures have by far the most evidence out of any lifestyle. Praying for you brother
I was never a JW but my dad who is Cuban (if you know you know) was raised JW. He is still heavily influenced by his childhood and is one of the reasons I don't really have contact with him or his family anymore. My grandparents are still JWs and whenever I stayed at their house they would have these cartoons playing literally all the time. It was the only thing allowed on the TV with kids in the house. We were never allowed over on Saturday or Sunday mornings because my mom didn't want them indoctrinating us kids. I was always so confused as to why my dad never really liked Christmas or Halloween, or even birthdays (yeah some don't even celebrate birthdays). He would always complain about the waste of money it was. Another absolutely cultish and horrible thing is that when my aunt made the decision to leave her ABUSIVE husband the church kicked her out and her family, even her two daughters, disowned her. She left a husband that hurt her and for putting herself before the blessing that was her marriage. They don't believe in divorce at all. Its just sad how strict they are. I remember going to one service (the only one I had ever gone to that made my mom not let us go over there when they would bring us to the service) and people just kept coming up to me and hugging me. Back then I wasn't very good with my Spanish but now I know they were saying things like "I'm so glad your here" and glad that I had been "converted". JW's are also very big on marriage within the community, the moment I stepped in that building it was like the hounds had come out hoping to set me up with one of their sons (jokes on them I like women). This is the main reason that my mom didn't want me there because many older boys (13-15) were being encouraged by their families to come and talk to me, offer to start courting the 10 year old. It was insane looking back. Then I thought it was weird but I didn't quite understand by virtue of being a literal child. I also remember one day (i was around 12-13) they brought some of their friends from church to their house for a little get together, and there for some reason had been some talks about me being promised to this older man. (maybe late 20's early 30's). I could now understand what was happening so I immediately called my mom to come and get me because there was no way I was gonna allow my grandparents to promise me to some random guy when I turned 18. I don't think this occurs within all JW communities but it certainly did at my grandparents. Traumatizing to say the least, I dodged a bomb with this one.
I actually have this Jehovah’s Witness church in my neighborhood and all too often I wanted to go knock on the door dress in full goth attire and say, may I have a moment of your time to talk about the dark, Lord Satan?
I just thought about it... Do jenova Witnesses Act like this to other religious people? Let's say I open the door, and I am a super religious catholic, or ortodox, or buddhist. Are they still gonna try concincing me into their beliefs? Because... In some cultures, it is considered extremely rude.
I was at a door with a brother when I was really young and I saw my 5th and 6th grade teacher who was super catholic and went to war and called it a cult in front of me and she said “little boy this is not a religion it’s a cult learn the difference and get out of this” and she slammed the door with such force it nearly broke. I was too young and confused to even know what was happening or what anything they were saying meant. I know they were exchanging Bible verses and she said my Bible doesn’t have that fake name in it. And she kept saying Jesus is the lord. They definitely would back in the day but nowadays they will refer you to the website and leave.
yeah, when my dad was a child a jehovah's witness came to his house and my grandparents even invited them inside although my family is catholic. my aunt said that they did try to convert them but they refused.
When I was about 9, I would visit my dad and my stepmother would indoctrinate me into jw. I was made to go door to door and attend kindom hall. My stepmom would force me to read their Bible and watch the videos, she was horrible to me and treated my brothers and father horribly. This went on for years and when they tried to leave the denomination they basically got expatriated by everybody and even their family. I would have been fully indoctrinated if it weren’t for my brothers.

Most of my family is inside the JW and one thing that bothers me a lot is how they treat mentally ill people that CLEARLY have fallen into diferent issues such as depression, schizophrenia or others BECAUSE of the religion. My cousin has been depressed since she was 14 (about 8 years now) and tried to off herself about 2 years ago. Her companions in JW told her to read the bible to feel better after she OBVIOUSLY blamed herself for her contradictory thoughts about the religion. I hated seeing people speak about my cousin badly behind her back because of her feelings and thoughts that she CANNOT control. Thank you for spreading the message on how religions like this hurt people, me and many ex-jehova's witness will feel trully greatful for your content.

1:36 That little boy broke my heart...

I know you already said this, but this is literally like a weird culty fundamentalist religious version of the SpongeBob Training Video episode. They even did the three P's thing that's very similar to the POOP acronym from the episode.
i was born into JW due to my father, and still am in JW (cant leave till i move out, even though im 18 and technically in the bible it says it is the child's want, not the parent, to continue as a JW, however it says its not the right choice and yada yada) as someone who's a part of the lgbtq, its quite scary being in a household, aswell as a whole religion who wants nothing to do with lgbtq and all that, and i still find it wild that i, as a whole person, dont have control over my own body, ya cant have long hair cause apparently its a direct afront to god, its just ridiculous! and so i thank you for making these sorta videos and speaking the words i cannot
you’re right, it is ridiculous. I wish it wasn’t so common for children to be born into this; I can say from experience because of what my family put me through due to their views on religion. I hope the best for you man, and remember, you won’t always feel trapped to be into exactly what your family wants you to
Not to be rude but I think it’s more on how our parents raised us because my brother isn’t in jw and my mother doesn’t mind anything he does.I think it’s more on where we grow up because I see other parents forcing their kids into it unlike my mom. (My brother smoke weed and vape and she doesn’t mind the only rule is that he does it outside)
Aww... that's cute brother, creating videos of who we are. I thank you so much for being informative about us. You're like doing house to house expect here in youtube. We miss you brother, and Jehovah misses you too. And we are always right here to welcome you home whenever you are ready.

I’ve had a few JW encounters; even got to the second visit one time. But what ultimately ended the visit was that he couldn’t tell me why he thinks we believe different things. I’m an ND Christian, so I just didn’t understand why I’d have to “convert” to JW. 🤷🏽♀️
I wasn’t a JW but I was raised catholic and I still look back on things that my teachers and family said to me that made no sense, and I had a huge family, my grandma had 12 kids and tons of grandkids. I’m not Catholic anymore but I feel like I would be in danger if they ever found that out. I’m also queer and some of them might even disown me if they heard that. I think that religion is good, it can bring groups of people together and give them something to bond over, but when some religious people, especially Catholics, try and force their religion down others throats and when they hate people for things they have no control over is terrible. They think that if they shame the person and tell them they are going to burn for eternity will convert them and I feel so bad for the kids like me that were raised like that.

Let's not forget about the "The pope wouldn't let me get a divorce so I made myself a pope!" Denomination!
You know it!
My favorite interaction with JWs is when 2 ladies came to our door to talk about the Bible, and my dad pulled out his Bible and proceeded to shut down every single one of their points with Bible verses. After that, whenever JWs cane to our neighborhood, they would go to every house- except ours. Because they knew they stood no chance
no its because you got put as a do not call because you seemed uninterested so we were not gonna pry its your choice to accept what we want to say and you think your so sigma for that? shutting down two woman just trying to serve god? and if someone did come back its cause theyd be more prepared for your questions and you most liklely didnt shut them down are versions of the bible are mostly the same other than the way its written instead of thys we have thes
@Mind_mender The fact that you used the words 'so sigma" tells me everything I need to know about you. Also, those women are not serving God. They are part of a cult. JW was founded in 1879; the true Christian Church was founded in 33. Galatians 1:8 tells us that the Bible is the last Testament of God, and there will be no more Gospels given to man by God. Not to mention the countless other points that I won't get into here for the sake of keeping this short, but I'd be glad to discuss it further if you would like.

I think is a little kid showed up on my doorstep in a suit and tie on a Saturday, I’m not sure I could listen to anything being said. I would only be thinking, “poor kid. You should be out in your bike today getting dirty and causing trouble.”
Exactly!! I hated weekends precisely because of that. My biggest problem during meetings was that i was bored out of my mind and i had to sit completely still for hours.. Worst part is that i could see other kids playing outside the window.. And no one would ever invite me becuase they knew who my family was..
So true our childhood was taken from us with hours of FS and KH meetings !!! I feel you …

Roughly 60 ago, when my grandmother was a young woman, a family of JWs knocked on her door. It was the height of summer in Louisiana, 100+ degree heat and 100% humidity. No one was outside by choice. The two kids were in long sleeved, thick clothes; red in the face and clearly exhausted. Door's barely open before the parents start the usual spiel, which grandma ignores to ask the kids if theyd like some water or juice to cool off, one of the parents denies for them because theyre trying to preach. Grandma ignored that and grabbed a couple juice boxes so the kids could cool off. She then proceeded to rip the parents a new one about "forcing babies to walk door to door in this heat." There were threats to involve child welfare because the kids were on the verge of heat stroke and the parents "clearly cared more about preaching than their children." Cue the parents panicking and scooping up the kids to rush down the road to their car and get out of the neighborhood. Grandma put the fear of Angry Irish-Italian Mamas into those parents that day. JWs still skip her street when they do their Saturday preaching.

I 'm an American living in Korea. Here, the JW's have an interesting tactic. Everyone has a doorbell cam hooked up to a monitor inside their apartments. You can see who's at your door before you open it. They seem to know if its a guy or a girl living at a place. If it's a guy, they put a young pretty 20-something woman in front of the camera. If a woman lives at the place, they put an attractive 20- something guy in front of the camera But as you open the door. you are greeted by an older adult who will start the usual spiel. This is what we call "the honey trap".
I’m not sure I’d believe a young woman living by herself would open the door for a man, no matter how attractive. Some really dumb/horny ones yeah, but what sane woman would put herself in danger like that?
Not saying you’re lying, I’m calling the Korean JW cult stupid for that particular tactic. I believe the man with a pretty young woman one, just not a lone woman opening her door for a random guy.
Oh that’s clever
They know nobody wants to listen to their cult

Fashion changes and other groups appropriate them. High heels and stockings used to be for men way back when. A lot of what was typical men's fashion in the disco days would certainly be "festive" today.

He is a builder who only has the possibility to rest on Sundays. After about five weeks of this he opens the door in his boxers and loudly exclaims "We worship the Devil here!"
They ran off and never came back.

Wasn’t allowed any holidays (they did something called family day where they gave each other presents) Wasn’t allowed to wear certain clothes.

By the way, Bible, ad an ancient and multiple times rewritten and copied text, is old fashioned about women. S.Paul's First Letter to the Corinths could pop-up in your mind, but there's more: Jehovah's Witnesses tell it aloud that males are better than females just because they're stronger and they've not got to carry a baby.
I wonder if there's a cartoon about this tiny difference between the two sexes.
I think i can be some families tho, i mean all families are different i used to be a jw ( I live in New Zealand too lol) and i was allowed to do traditional dances and learn māori even joined a kapa haka group when i was school but she should be able to learn it because you need to be able to yk explain the bible in māori when she goes preaching soo, it really depends on the parents, it can be good , it can be bad.

I had a friend in high school that was JW and she was the sweetest person I knew at the time. She didn’t preach to me or anything and was just happy that I wasn’t rude to her or even wanting to talk about anything religion related as I didn’t grow up religious myself. Definitely someone I could see hopefully leaving the organization someday.
But it makes me sad to think of all the people she did likely close herself off from and all of the rules she had to follow. I hope she’s doing well today and is thriving in her own personality and not one chosen for her.

When I sent this to my mom it spoke volumes to me. The shunning goes deep. My sister will never do that to me. She’ll respect my opinion even if she doesn’t agree.

This might help you in getting her out of that religion: the Watchtower February 2017 study edition, "Who is Leading God's People Today", paragraph 12. Ask her, "why would Jehovah let doctrinal errors be taught if it's supposed to be "the Truth?"" Also, ask her why is the JW Organization so afraid of it's followers doing research that contradicts what they are told by the Organization?

I used to hate going in service, I'm from Guatemala and we had horrible, dangerous neighborhoods in the territory assigned to the congregation I went to, I always thought it was irresponsible for parents to take their children to these places.

@@CalamityMarMar While i generally agree. As someone who grew up as a witness. They are nothing more than a slimy cult. They cover up tons of child abuse reports. Most congregations that do have offenders, the Elders are AWARE. and do nothing about it. They target vulnerable people to convert, promising love and support. If you're baptised, even as a child. If you do something against the religion. you are SHUNNED, imagine being 15 and your own family (who you live with) can only communicate with you so much. I do not fuck with that reliqion, and i will actively speak out against it (which makes me an apostate in their eyes) It is a harmful corporation, hiding under a thin veneer of religion

But one thing I don't like is the service. It's REALLY boring. I remember when I was 13, after coming back to school I have to get ready for meetings right away and I really want to fall asleep when the meetings going on. Also preparing for the meetings?? I ALR SO TIRED GOING TO SCHOOL AND DOING LOTS OF HOMEWORK 💀Luckily I only went preaching for few times before pandemic happened. It's sucks.
I leave jw when I was 15, which is the begining of pandemic for family reason. I can see myself that I didn't pay attention to the meetings during the pandemic. But after discovering this channel this year, I've realized everything about this cult. Can't believe I used to believe these ppl. At least I'm glad to finally open my eyes and leave this cult earlier.
Thank you panda for making contents about this sick cult. I hope this cult will be expose real bad and also hope more ppl are aware of it!
A fellow Malaysian. Nice to see you here brotha. Glad you left JW. Cheers🙏👍
My childhood being a Jehovah's Witness is summarized in bullying, teasing and harassment at school and towards the other children in my neighborhood. Plus I'm autistic and I was never good at communicating with other people, so every day after preaching or going to meetings I was guaranteed a beating from my mother for not knowing how to preach well or not being able to sit still for 2 hours of preaching and meeting. . Added to that is that at 15 years old I told my parents that I was gay, it was another beating and almost 6 months without them speaking to me, in addition to consecutive sessions with the elders of the congregation to be able to deal with my "situation." I literally still go to psychologists and psychiatrists because of the various traumas that my parents and that cult left me with.

I cringed shortly after 1:44, when I realised how exposed that child is.
We had a Jewish boy, Herrman, in our elementary school growing up. This was in the early 2000's. He was made to live religiously per his dad's wishes.
That meant different clothing (others were not allowed to wear hats indoors, even if they would like to since "it's not our culture, it's his"), different food that looked way fresher, and he got to leave school earlier than other students on fridays.
Some of the other eight-year-olds interpreted this as preferential treatment. It became a controversy the class. American rappers were all the rage, so some boys wondered why they couldn't look cool if Herrman could wear his hat indoors? Teachers explained this only with "that's their religion, end of story".
Then when this eight-year-old couldn't answer questions about his dad's religion (who could?), he was eventually bullied. Don't make small children ambassadors for your religion, they can't handle it.
If you are a teacher, don't set up different rules for different children without a painstaking explanation as to why.
I felt bad for Herrman, he had to change schools. I still think about his fate sometimes.
The kid is probably like 6 or 7 and being forced to do it cmon like let the kid watch some SpongeBob

It looks like I can’t comment anymore 😅
I was never a JW but my dad who is Cuban (if you know you know) was raised JW. He is still heavily influenced by his childhood and is one of the reasons I don't really have contact with him or his family anymore. My grandparents are still JWs and whenever I stayed at their house they would have these cartoons playing literally all the time. It was the only thing allowed on the TV with kids in the house. We were never allowed over on Saturday or Sunday mornings because my mom didn't want them indoctrinating us kids. I was always so confused as to why my dad never really liked Christmas or Halloween, or even birthdays (yeah some don't even celebrate birthdays). He would always complain about the waste of money it was.
Another absolutely cultish and horrible thing is that when my aunt made the decision to leave her ABUSIVE husband the church kicked her out and her family, even her two daughters, disowned her. She left a husband that hurt her and for putting herself before the blessing that was her marriage. They don't believe in divorce at all. Its just sad how strict they are.
I remember going to one service (the only one I had ever gone to that made my mom not let us go over there when they would bring us to the service) and people just kept coming up to me and hugging me. Back then I wasn't very good with my Spanish but now I know they were saying things like "I'm so glad your here" and glad that I had been "converted". JW's are also very big on marriage within the community, the moment I stepped in that building it was like the hounds had come out hoping to set me up with one of their sons (jokes on them I like women). This is the main reason that my mom didn't want me there because many older boys (13-15) were being encouraged by their families to come and talk to me, offer to start courting the 10 year old. It was insane looking back. Then I thought it was weird but I didn't quite understand by virtue of being a literal child. I also remember one day (i was around 12-13) they brought some of their friends from church to their house for a little get together, and there for some reason had been some talks about me being promised to this older man. (maybe late 20's early 30's). I could now understand what was happening so I immediately called my mom to come and get me because there was no way I was gonna allow my grandparents to promise me to some random guy when I turned 18.
I don't think this occurs within all JW communities but it certainly did at my grandparents. Traumatizing to say the least, I dodged a bomb with this one.
I actually have this Jehovah’s Witness church in my neighborhood and all too often I wanted to go knock on the door dress in full goth attire and say, may I have a moment of your time to talk about the dark, Lord Satan?

In some cultures, it is considered extremely rude.
They do unfortunately. Convinced as they are of their own truth they don't see it as rude.
yep, that's the goal of the door knocking. To convert people, no matter their current belief system
I was at a door with a brother when I was really young and I saw my 5th and 6th grade teacher who was super catholic and went to war and called it a cult in front of me and she said “little boy this is not a religion it’s a cult learn the difference and get out of this” and she slammed the door with such force it nearly broke. I was too young and confused to even know what was happening or what anything they were saying meant. I know they were exchanging Bible verses and she said my Bible doesn’t have that fake name in it. And she kept saying Jesus is the lord. They definitely would back in the day but nowadays they will refer you to the website and leave.
If you dismiss them they go, in fact they wish that you do.
yeah, when my dad was a child a jehovah's witness came to his house and my grandparents even invited them inside although my family is catholic. my aunt said that they did try to convert them but they refused.

@@donovanjones1295 I volunteer to. Whenever my parents go into service, they ask me every single time and I never say no knowing that Jehovah God is happy with me
“🥰💕Wow, I can talk to Chinese people!🥰”
“👹CHINESE PEOPLE👹”
I know you already said this, but this is literally like a weird culty fundamentalist religious version of the SpongeBob Training Video episode. They even did the three P's thing that's very similar to the POOP acronym from the episode.
i was born into JW due to my father, and still am in JW (cant leave till i move out, even though im 18 and technically in the bible it says it is the child's want, not the parent, to continue as a JW, however it says its not the right choice and yada yada)
as someone who's a part of the lgbtq, its quite scary being in a household, aswell as a whole religion who wants nothing to do with lgbtq and all that, and i still find it wild that i, as a whole person, dont have control over my own body, ya cant have long hair cause apparently its a direct afront to god, its just ridiculous!
and so i thank you for making these sorta videos and speaking the words i cannot
you’re right, it is ridiculous. I wish it wasn’t so common for children to be born into this; I can say from experience because of what my family put me through due to their views on religion. I hope the best for you man, and remember, you won’t always feel trapped to be into exactly what your family wants you to
Not to be rude but I think it’s more on how our parents raised us because my brother isn’t in jw and my mother doesn’t mind anything he does.I think it’s more on where we grow up because I see other parents forcing their kids into it unlike my mom.
(My brother smoke weed and vape and she doesn’t mind the only rule is that he does it outside)
How are u a part of lgbtq?,also lgbtq is like jw during the '40s think about it,lgbtq is a cult nowadays
Religion is stupid. Most of them use their fictional character to justify their shitty behavior towards people they disagree with or dislike.
you cant have long hair??? literally every single depiction of jesus shows him with long hair.
Aww... that's cute brother, creating videos of who we are. I thank you so much for being informative about us. You're like doing house to house expect here in youtube. We miss you brother, and Jehovah misses you too. And we are always right here to welcome you home whenever you are ready.
12:35 I too would freak out if a crazy robot like that dashed up to my front door and tried to speak in my mother tongue while flailing its robotic arms around
And if it’s also trying to convert me into Christianity or becoming a Jenovah Witness), I’m double worried.
@@larrymantic2635 considering the fact that their god only loves people if they obey rather than loving them unconditionally. This is all from someone who went to a Christian high school.
I’ve had a few JW encounters; even got to the second visit one time. But what ultimately ended the visit was that he couldn’t tell me why he thinks we believe different things. I’m an ND Christian, so I just didn’t understand why I’d have to “convert” to JW. 🤷🏽♀️
I wasn’t a JW but I was raised catholic and I still look back on things that my teachers and family said to me that made no sense, and I had a huge family, my grandma had 12 kids and tons of grandkids. I’m not Catholic anymore but I feel like I would be in danger if they ever found that out. I’m also queer and some of them might even disown me if they heard that. I think that religion is good, it can bring groups of people together and give them something to bond over, but when some religious people, especially Catholics, try and force their religion down others throats and when they hate people for things they have no control over is terrible. They think that if they shame the person and tell them they are going to burn for eternity will convert them and I feel so bad for the kids like me that were raised like that.
Jenovah's Hell
🤣
Is jenovah Jehovah’s bitch..?
errm ackthually its "jehovah" *sniff* 🤓☝

19:25 broke me. Even though I wasn't in Jehovah's Witness, I was in Christianity. This may not have been said to me but constant referral back to "the holy word" does happen decently often. (and I was doing so well.)
I’m a homosexual and I absolutely HATE tight pants. That govoner is so wrong
Service was always so nerve wracking.
