I love the hypocrisy behind the statement: "People already get defensive when you challenge their beliefs!" Coming from the organisation that will turn face and run away from anyone who has any knowledge about their structure and belief system and pushes back.
@@nbagoats4819 I love that you take that statement and interpret it as "hate". So if a JW was to approach someone and ask them what they believe, and point out areas maybe where their understanding is lacking, that's love, but if someone does the same to them, that's suddenly viewed as "hateful"? Do you see how the logic there doesn't follow and how it can be hypocritical?
@@doogied9082 Yes but they do give a choice. Once you say not interested they peacefully go away. Are you saying that you do the same? If not then your method is to attack the individual.
@@nbagoats4819 That's demonstrably not true. From their own literature, to their own videos, they are encouraged to ask: "Why?" and encourage conversation and even given responses to the various reasons given. I know. I was a pioneer for most of my time as a JW. While some witnesses do turn around and walk away, that's not what they're encouraged to do. Also, again, you're approaching this from such an uncharitable position to literally everyone not a JW. If a family member asks questions about the JW's genuinely, and wants to point out some fallacies, is the Witness encouraged to stay and engage in debate? What if the JW says: "Why don't you come to this year's Memorial?" and the family member goes, "Ok, I will, I'm genuinely interested in knowing what you believe. Is it ok, if I go to the Memorial, that then you agree to come with me to this seminar on Evolution?", what do you think the Witness will do, or is told to do, by the organisation?
15:30 I just wanna detour and talk about how JWs love to GASLIGHT people by taking their grievances and using slightly less harsh synonyms to manipulate them into submission, while not really addressing their concerns. "Our message isn't *harsh* , it's *direct* " "Splain didn't sound *desperate* in his anti-apostate rant, he was being *urgent* " "Our teachings aren't *restrictive* , they're *protective* " All this word salad and mental gymnastics to explain away the culty things people point out.
The Governing Body is just as crooked as the rest of organized religion. They hide abuse crimes and the offenders themselves away with confirmed experiences of many victims ending up being shunned. They claim that they don't force their hands in front of you for tithe and yet, push cartoons on impressionable children to give what little cash they have to them. Preach love, yet pray for destruction. They, like every "servant of God", are hypocrites and liars.
The WT “wicked world” is very small and they are quite isolated people. Do they not realize that there is so much yey of the earth to be discovered and explored and that there are Anthropologists and Scientists and others of HIGHER Education who are still helping us learn about our world? When disasters happen, are those from God or Nature? Is not the Earth a Living thing? Have JWs sought to form Charitable Relief Non-Profits that would relieve the suffering of those in disaster situations other than their green or grey Bibles? There is so much left to this vast earth to even discover. Who ever thought archeologists would find dinosaur bones in Montana?!? There’s nothing to destroy. The world purges and cleanses, creates and destructs on its own, as the universes explode and implode and explode over and over. Chill, JWs. Life is short. Stop abandoning your children. Get those old governing bodies out of your lives!
Judgement for watchtower is coming...on the morning of October 31st, 2023, at the WHITE HOUSE in Washington D.C. watchtower will be protested, bringing awareness to their harmful rules and policies. Support the protest go to: be free 2023. The more we let our voices be heard, the more lives are saved...PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST.. Go to the governments & protest..
I once bought their take on religion, but can honestly say there was nearly half of it I either didn’t understand or disagreed with. They come to you and sound so reasonable. But when you begin to research & look deeper you find the flaws. Especially with the history & beginnings. I quietly faded away, many years ago, and there was nothing they could do. Sure I lost friends but gained a sense of relief and calm and the freedom to search for ALL kinds of knowledge, which I still love today.
I know one "witness" who does not go because he likes it, but just because hes family obligates him to go. Hes 17 now, but he always says that as soon hes 18, he wil quit the cult for good. I already hooked hum up wuth a cheap 1 bedroom app, about 300 dollars a month.
It's a complex situation. I hope he does leave because living a lie is horrible. However, he will definitely lose his entire family if he is baptized. If he's not baptized, he might be able to fade, but he cannot make any grand exit just because he had a birthday. It will require a lot of finesse.
@@hibrohibro6572 YES, already the double generation was absurd and incomprehensible and now the Watchtower is making a decision which is the opposite of what it practiced for decades. This announcement is not even guided by holy spirit. YES really this cult is left to its own devices. The only way to hide the numbers is to stop publishing them, lol. During this announcement we could hear the JWs clapping like puppets. Had it been announced that blood transfusions are not scriptural or that the number 140,000 is no longer literal but symbolic or that there are no longer two hopes but more than one, all the JWs would have just as applauded the same way without asking the slightest question as if they had all been lobotomized. The JWs are truly clowns who will applaud as soon as an announcement is made by the Watchtower. The more time passes, the closer this apocalyptic cult comes to its end.
The double standards of this of this organisation are truly amazing. They think they can knock on peoples doors uninvited and tell them their religion is wrong and is going to be destroyed and get upset when people react negatively. On the other hand when they stand at their carts and someone comes up and challenges their beliefs, they see this as harassment and get on their phones and call the police!.
The double standards are amazing... and infuriating. I've often said that JWs will tell a 90yr old Catholic nun who's been a Catholic her entire life and whose entire life revolves around her religion that she's wrong and that she must completely quit her religion, yet, they don't want anybody to tell them they're wrong. My own JW mother won't listen to the reasonable, factual info I have against her religion, but she'll try to tell all others where they're wrong.
A review of the WT articles over the several months reveals the increased focus on obeying the GB even if the instructions don't make sense. Ignore the weird color of the Kool-Aid friends. Just drink up.
The placement of those 2 police officers looking at the JWs on the bench is inserting subliminal FEAR OF POLICE. They go out of their way to stop the music and let the sound of police radios play in the background!! [Instill FEAR].
Now that it's no longer required to report hours except for pioneers , they're going to up the fear mongering more than ever because the one thing they sold as a ticket to paradise is scrapped. Pathetic cult.
Why raise another alarm when the other alarms were inaccurate? If no one knows the day or the hour, how are they in the know? I was raised in the JW religion, and it makes me sad for their members.
Let's see the Governing Body out declaring this message of judgment right along with all the other publishers and not make the rank and file do their dirty work.
My dad was super opposed. He'd become violently abusive when my mom took us to the meetings to the point where I had to call the police on him when I was 15. My father never drank or used any drugs. He would throw away any literature he'd find in the house and we (mom, bro, sis, and I) used to have our family study 'under ban'. We'd have it in the hallway outside of my bedroom because my room was over the garage and we'd know he was coming. Everyone had their places to be once he entered the house. I would be out on service sweating buckets that my father would possibly catch me, beat me, and throw me in his car. I am living PTSD- but so glad now to be free.
@@nathancooper1 That's what happens with brainwashing. Plus I was a child- I don't blame myself for what happened to me. This cult shouldn't have existed in the first place.
@@karenmoody2763 My brother is out- he disassociated a while back, but he is still mentally messed up. My sister was out for 10 years had a child and recently went back. Mom is in for life. One of my cousins was recently featured in one of those awful jw films. Other than a half sister who wasn't raised around the jw garbage, I have no blood relatives (that I know personally) who aren't in the cult.
@@nathancooper1 Btw what you said was a really gaslighting comment. Very thoughtless. A lot of us are still healing, and if these are the types of comments you are making- you aren't going to make any friends.
I cringed when at 1:24 K. Cook said “to be even more zealous as we declare the good news”. The WT always making sure that the word “zealous” is imbedded in your brain and be perfectly understood at all times. Always, the message was “BE ZEALOUS, BE ZEALOUS, BE ZEALOUS”. I wanted to say: “ Please, just stop 😖. I get it.” Makes me think of people being programmed like a robot or computer to do the task automatically. Even worse is when WT told you that if you don’t go out in the ministry to preach and teach, you become “bloodguilty”. Why? Because should the householder die without knowing about Jehovah and because you personally failed to deliver the message of salvation, you are bloodguilty! Of course, WT, will cherry pick a scripture to back their message. I thought Jehovah is the one to execute judgement, not humans. The WT instills fear and guilt in you in order to control the sheep to do its will. So glad that at 70 years old, I finally woke up. Fading PIMO here.
Just sad it took you to being 70 years old to figure it out. I wish you could turn back time and actually live your life in youth a little bit longer but Se la vie .
@@fuzzyh1ghland3r28, Hello, LOL, no, it did not take me 70 years to figure it out but my comment was already very long and I did not want to be a bore explaining. Actually, I learned about the "truth" when I was 14 years old and my sister and I started a study with a young JW our same age. After a few years, we stopped studying and went on to enjoy our teenage years. I started studying in Germany again in my mid 20's and mid 30's and got baptized there. Afterwards, came back to the US and became inactive while I went back to school and established a career. At 65 years of age, my husband was dying and the JWs came knocking at my door. I felt Jehovah was calling me back in my time of sorrow, and became active again. However, I did not feel quite right with all the organization's requirements. I recently learned about the JW pedophile scandals, the Australian Royal Commission, the cruel shunning, the suicides, etc. . . I came to realize this was not God's holy organization with all the lies and evilness within. I felt so betrayed and disappointed. On the other hand, contrary to what they teach, I did get my education, had a good job, and secured my retirement. Sorry for the long reply. Greetings from West Texas 🌞🌻🌵
For context, I’m a raised-in exjw (walked away over 40 years ago) and I’ve learned a lot since the time I left, and I find it extremely difficult to believe that any intelligent human alive today still believes in an invisible deity who intervenes in human daily affairs, or ever did!! I can hardly believe that I ever did, but from what I’ve learned about the human mind, I now understand how ALL humans are programmed with the beliefs that they’ll hold (unless they become informed) for the rest of their lives… So I understand why I was fooled, and rather than wallow in guilt, I’m grateful at having been informed and that I’m free from the bullshit.
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hfStart building friends and new family outside the cult before you leave. That’s we did and it worked out great!! Of course there will be pain from losing ppl but if they shun you, they were never real family and friends to begin with! Th Watchtower and GB is real estate company pandering as a religion!! You’re losing more precious time staying in that cult/business!
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hf Perhaps we’re not understanding each other, I was referring to information that I got about how human minds function and how that influences their behavior, unbeknownst to the vast majority. This, of course, refers to all of us, whether or not we’re members of ANY religion or cult. I’m not speaking specifically about the jws, although what I’ve learned explains exactly how we’re all (all humans of ANY culture) susceptible to being programmed without any knowledge whatsoever about what’s happening to us. If that’s of any interest to you, I’ll be glad to proceed.
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hf Alright then, it’s based upon science and has been known for millennia by certain groups, now scientists have managed to understand, observe, and measure the functions of the brain and how human behavior works. I’ll start by telling you of the work of the cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton. Some years ago I got a copy of his book The Biology of Belief. I highly recommend it, too much info to review on this platform, but it explains about epigenetics and how, contrary to popular belief, our lives aren’t governed by our genes, but rather by our beliefs and thoughts. Also books by Dr. Joe Dispenza: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, and others. Remember to be open minded and think about what you’re reading rather than rejecting it because certain sources (eg. parents, religious figures) that you thought that you could trust never told you these things. If you want to discuss further, let me know and we can exchange emails, or other contact info…
I cringed when cardboard Ken opened his mouth to talk. He speaks as if he is talking to kindergarten kids. The nine governing body members are blood guilty for all those who died because of the No blood rule that they enforce. They belong in prison for the hundreds of thousands who have died because of that rule. Sadly, this includes children and women who died during childbirth because of the no blood transfusion rule.
I cringed as soon as cardboard Ken’s face popped up. He reminds me of those stupid films we watched in grade school. When they’d tell us to hide under our desk if there was a nuclear bomb. The same monotone voice and the same worthless message. Jeez!!
If they ever do this campaign of Doom, I hope NOONE REACTS. It'd be SO FUNNY if people were just like, "ok honey. Would u like some tea? You seem so tense. Come relax for a minute." Thats what I'd do. I'd be NICER bcz they're not expecting that!
There was some Jw always at the library & now they are not… i wonder why. I also talked to multiple of them & then asked people to shun me because im an apostate…
Jesus never came to bring judgement on the world, but to save it. John 12:47 "If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world."
In any dire situation or emergency, the people going to the doors to warn people aren't afraid to tell the person at the door what is going on. It seems to me the only reason one would be 'terrified' is if that person didn't fully believe or had doubts about the message they had.
They know exactly what is going to happen. No one is going to want to do the ministry and the elders who try to make the others do it will get hated over time and people are going to leave and fade a rapid rate and watchtower will blame the members for not standing firm.
@@fuzzyh1ghland3r28 I also have a feeling they might create a division to possibly walk away from the JW label and try to rebrand and rename the same vile organization it is.
There’s a precedent for this possible outcome! When their years long predictions about 1975 being the end of Satan’s old world failed to happen Watchtower actually blamed the rank and file for “spreading rumours”, “being overly zealous.” Not one single word of apology or remorse was ever published for this debacle! Watchtower just expected millions of followers to accept the blame and keep their mouths shut. When thousands of JWs woke up and left, Watchtower published comments accusing these former members of “serving for a date” … i.e… 1975 didn’t a mount to anything so these fakers left! Just a despicable religion of empty drivel. So glad to be out!
Wow, love your work, keep up the good work, I cringe as soon as they speak, the verbal shyte that flows out their mouths is truly amazing, your spin has me in stitches, love your humour, and knowledge is awesome cheers
Often I want to yell at these people and say “get to the point already!” Just say you hate anyone who is against you and you want us all to die in a lake of fire because you are a cult and you want control over everyone and everything man just show us your luxury cars and your mansions and say you think you are better than everyone else enough with the word salad it drives me nuts just say how you really feel about anybody who is not your obedient slave
15:57 They say "message we will be preaching" and "people get defensive when we challenge their beliefs," like they don't just tell everybody to go to the site for any question asked or challenge made.
Wow, you want God to be brought to justice? Who will put Him into a court and do the trials? All these wickedness are the works of people who disregarded God’s guidance and instructions given for humans in the Scriptures. Looks like you are not reading the Bible at all?
There's a big difference between salvation through actions motivated by love and salvation through jumping through hoops of rules and regulations. Love God and neighbor, even enemy, forgive others as God has forgiven you, etc
I don’t think I’ve commented here before but a subject came up the other day in Stacey Valens video concerning the urgency message that was and continues to be preached by the 9 deluded/ wicked souls in Warwick. As an ex JW myself, “ urgency” was so hypocritical and today also. Stacey gave the analogy of a burning building which is an urgent matter especially if there are people inside. Now, if this urgent matter by JW ‘s is as urgent then why the apathy? Standing and sitting around carts waiting for people to approach l and then if they do they just hand out a magazine? Going door to door on a Saturday morning (and most only do it that often) and if they’re brave enough, get their bibles out and then go to some park or cafe after a few doors for refreshments. Then after that maybe do a few more doors then call it a day? Little invitations to meetings that really don’t hit the urgency button anyway? I don’t know, it seems like the modern term for urgency has done a 180 since looking back at least 30 years ago. Let’s build a multi million dollar media building because the time is so urgent. Let’s withhold vital information from the authorities because it’s urgent. A big one for me is the so-called urgency when the GRC ( Government’s response to Covid) period was underway. That didn’t stop lobbyists going door to door and other authorities. Why couldn’t they go door to door with a mask or just keeping their distance? No, they just listened to their God in Warwick and did their little meetings via zoom. So much for courage and urgency. And please rank and file don’t tell me that they were still witnessing via zoom because your leaders have always harped on the message that house to house is the most effective way to preach. Your leadership is hypocritical, deluded and disgusting. Most of you unwittingly practice idolatry by serving a Warwick God
Spot on. As soon as I heard the Governments had ordered a no gathering order and lockdowns I thought, 'the JW's are going to be in trouble as they will NEVER stop going to meetings or doing the preaching work'. LOL - they caved at the very first sniff of opposition and cowardly obeyed the worldly governments lock stock and barrel. No respect for them whatsoever.
My step dad is a canadian indigenous man who became a JW when I was a kid, it was really sudden, and I don't think it's no strange coincidence that his family is also hyper religious. His grandparents were residential school survivors, and I think that has had residual effects on everyone in his family. He is a nice guy, but also kind of dumb, the kind of guy who laughs at his own farts. It would not surprise me if he adopted a religion instead of some introspection. Dude really needs therapy. I just hope he snaps out of it one day, it would be nice for him and my sister (who is gay) to be on good terms again...
18:13 thank you for clarification on this situation, I saw this jw video clip but didn’t know the context of the “hard hitting” message. Those drawings Rutherford published were horrid !
I lost my mother 8 days ago. She had dementia but was still a witness. The funeral was rough, really rough, and all these ppl just keep going on abt the hope and now is the time to return to the truth...and I just want to mourn my mom!!! Anyway, your video was the 1st thing to make me laugh since it happened. Thank u
No sense of decency! That was not the time to pile on you. My mom's 88 and I could foresee them doing that to me too. I'm not planning on going to the service and making myself available for the harassment.
I just got back from my grandmothers funeral and did not start crying until they mentioned about the resurrection hope that they have. I just kept on repeating to myself “just let her rest in peace” but no, they had to make it about their so called hope
Admittedly the production is quality is good. So good that it is impossible that people were not sent to trained extensively on the craft. Almost like....higher education.
I was raised Seventh Day Adventist. The alarm sounding/crying wolf was off the hook. A world leader couldn't so much as fart without out it being interpreted as a "Sign of Times" that the end was near. Then when the next world leader didn't fart, that was the sign the end was eminent. Constantly back and forth and all over the place.
I wish theyd stop ✋️ pretending they're gonna have a Doom message. 😂 They just put a pamphlet out "LOVE PEOPLE, MAKE DESCIPLES!" And at the same time, they're pretending they're gonna preach Doom & Gloom? Nah
Yhwh was a Canaanite god originally. This story when put in a context, is a legend made up to mark the time in history when child sacrifice was fazed out. The legend of Jesus marks the end of animal sacrifice. They are stories that explain our spiritual evolution. Today we are going through an end to sacrificing our human rights for lies. Hopefully. Love your videos ❤
Ken gives no scriptural proof for ANYTHING that he says because there IS none 😂! Even were there any scriptural backup, since the entire buybull is fable, who cares what’s written in it 😂!
Even when they give “scriptural” proof it’s usually out of context or given meaning that is entirely false. They cherry pick everything they say and create bullshite meanings for them.
I watch your videos at night. Yard so funny. It's like watching SNL with the skits you have. Thank you for making me laugh out loud and making me feel better about all this crazy stuff we were raised in. Laughing helps heal it somehow
41:20 I tried to say that to my JW Mom, and she told me that Jehovah can choose to not foretell things sometimes, like switch or something. Idk how that makes sense to her 💀
The Good News is about Jesus Christ- Romans 1:1-6,9 Galatians 1:15-17 The letters to the congregations tell us the good news is from God, and it is about Jesus
It is true already 4 carts ( they do not come to the door as they used to) I left my phone to discuss biblical interpretation, because they could not discuss it at the cart. No one called back.
Jesus did not teach salvation through good works. Remember he taught about the parting of the sheep and goats? What did he say to those who named all their good deeds? "I never knew you". Please read the Bible again. It is only by putting faith in Jesus' blood sacrifice, repenting and confessing our sins that we can be saved. This deep realization brings us so much joy, freedom and love that we will freely express that love to our neighbour, i.e. all people we encounter, by visible deeds
I've realized something watching this video, I have had no appreciation, no value, for anything of beauty, permanence because I have always been taught god would destroy it all in Armageddon. I feel nothing for many things in my life that would normally be wonderful for people. #JWTrauma.
The scene of the angry man screaming at those women to get off his property or he’ll have his dog maul them was… pretty powerful. It sure as hell made me want NOTHING to do with JW, EVER, if that’s the kind of thing that can happen 🤣 Great advertising, guys!
I'm going with this one. If ANYONE in modern times claims to be a prophet or talks with god, we immediately know they are mentally ill. Bar none. @@christinesotelo7655
Isaac would have had trust issues with his father the rest of his life, if this were a true story. This is one of the reasons I started rethinking religion. It’s sick.
I never liked this story when I was still catholic. My child brain couldn't comprehend why god had to test his loyal servant. Well, the bible implied that god was sort of jealous of all the love and attention that Isaac got and felt like Abraham loved Isaac more. But... Isaac wouldn't have been born in the first place if god didn't give Sarah the ability to get pregnant. So he kinda brought this on himself. Besides, how messed up and childish does god have to be to make such a cruel test? The most common excuse I heard from fellow catholics was "God never intended to kill Isaac and wanted to show that human sacrifice is bad." Aren't there less traumatizing options? That feels very over the top and unjustified. That's like threatening to shoot your child's pet just to show how dangerous guns are.
18:00 So, Jehovah wanted to show how unjust the actions of the Catholic Church were in Canada back in that day. And did Jehovah equally want (the just God) to show the unjust and demented/perverted actions of the members of HIS Chosen people which was by this time apparent to the leaders of the organisation (with a database started in the 1950s to back it up) apparently not.
The funny thing is that Isaac is not a little child, but a young man in his twenties. Normally he is depicted being very young around 6 to 10, maybe twelve.
✔✔- I'm so sick of somehow trying to make excuses for these insane lunatics. I lost it with the song & as far as the Abraham video goes, give me strength, kids watch this s*** & think its real.
This Abraham video will be so triggering fior the millions of JW women who gave up having children because of their faith. Watching a supposedly 90 year old Sarah giving burth and rejoicing in her own child, at last, will be so horrible for all the childless women and couples. 😢 Being forced to watch Abraham almost kill his beloved son will be devastating to any JW women who gave up children to adoption or had an abortion prior to coming into the "Truth". 😳 Any parents who have lost children to death or miscarriage.. also will be retraumatized. 😳 What a loving, merciful thoughtful organisation this... ISN'T!! 😭 AND... did anyone else notice that Sarah never goes over to defend her snall son from the bullying older son?? That NO ONE rescues the little boy from the abuse, happening in broad daylight, right in front of the whole community?? 😱 REMIND YOU OF ANYONE?? 🙈 🙉 🙊
Imagine how this will look after the annual meeting gets released and it contradicts what Kenneth says here. That's going to be a head scratcher for PIMIs, won't it?
That will push people really struggling with life as we know it right now. . Including veterans. It will push a lot of people over the edge. This should be stopped immediately
Watch the movie, The Witch. The dad in that movie dooms his family to a slow and painful death by starvation in the wilderness, because his pride and zealotry prevents him from going back to the safety of civilization.
I started to cringe when the "song" started.....And howling like a dog. Give people a warning before a "song" start! Please! My neighbors are starting to complain!
Could you imagine living forever on a planet with nothing but people like this guy. It'd be like "oh white jesus just kill me now PLEASE white jesus" ..uncle ruckus voice..
This will get interesting.... If they are going to talk about judgement, they are going to have to talk about THE Judge... "Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous *Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but to all who have loved His appearing." 2.Tim.4:8 They'll have to quelch that "Jehovah" myth.
John 12:47 Jesus speaking "If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I DO NOT JUDGE HIM; for I DID NOT COME TO JUDGE the world but to save the world."
@@mattmurdock2868no, he said he does not judge. It's the other writers of the bible, the apostle Paul among others that speak of Jesus impending judgement. It's their words not Jesus's.
Do THEY consider themselves exempt from this so-called "hour of judgment"? They forget that when they point the finger at someone else, there are THREE pointing right back at them. They can see everyone else's 'faults' except their own. Also, in classifying every other religion as false, notice they appear totally oblivious to their own: the CSA cases, the separating and destruction of the family unit, the lies and false prophecies... What hypocrites!

I love the hypocrisy behind the statement: "People already get defensive when you challenge their beliefs!" Coming from the organisation that will turn face and run away from anyone who has any knowledge about their structure and belief system and pushes back.
Just because they don't entertain the hate doesn't mean they're running away.
@@nbagoats4819 I love that you take that statement and interpret it as "hate". So if a JW was to approach someone and ask them what they believe, and point out areas maybe where their understanding is lacking, that's love, but if someone does the same to them, that's suddenly viewed as "hateful"? Do you see how the logic there doesn't follow and how it can be hypocritical?
@@doogied9082 Yes but they do give a choice. Once you say not interested they peacefully go away. Are you saying that you do the same? If not then your method is to attack the individual.
@@nbagoats4819 That's demonstrably not true. From their own literature, to their own videos, they are encouraged to ask: "Why?" and encourage conversation and even given responses to the various reasons given. I know. I was a pioneer for most of my time as a JW. While some witnesses do turn around and walk away, that's not what they're encouraged to do.
Also, again, you're approaching this from such an uncharitable position to literally everyone not a JW. If a family member asks questions about the JW's genuinely, and wants to point out some fallacies, is the Witness encouraged to stay and engage in debate? What if the JW says: "Why don't you come to this year's Memorial?" and the family member goes, "Ok, I will, I'm genuinely interested in knowing what you believe. Is it ok, if I go to the Memorial, that then you agree to come with me to this seminar on Evolution?", what do you think the Witness will do, or is told to do, by the organisation?
@doogied
Also pack up their carts and run away with their tails between their legs, when the heat in the kitchen gets far too hot for them.

I just wanna detour and talk about how JWs love to GASLIGHT people by taking their grievances and using slightly less harsh synonyms to manipulate them into submission, while not really addressing their concerns.
"Our message isn't *harsh* , it's *direct* "
"Splain didn't sound *desperate* in his anti-apostate rant, he was being *urgent* "
"Our teachings aren't *restrictive* , they're *protective* "
All this word salad and mental gymnastics to explain away the culty things people point out.
"Protective"
It's the same excuse a narcissist abuser comes up with to explain their controlling behavior.

Never underestimate the power of linguistics. You’d be surprised how influential it can be.

The G. B. should be soiling their underware.
The Governing Body is just as crooked as the rest of organized religion. They hide abuse crimes and the offenders themselves away with confirmed experiences of many victims ending up being shunned. They claim that they don't force their hands in front of you for tithe and yet, push cartoons on impressionable children to give what little cash they have to them. Preach love, yet pray for destruction. They, like every "servant of God", are hypocrites and liars.

The WT “wicked world” is very small and they are quite isolated people. Do they not realize that there is so much yey of the earth to be discovered and explored and that there are Anthropologists and Scientists and others of HIGHER Education who are still helping us learn about our world? When disasters happen, are those from God or Nature? Is not the Earth a Living thing? Have JWs sought to form Charitable Relief Non-Profits that would relieve the suffering of those in disaster situations other than their green or grey Bibles? There is so much left to this vast earth to even discover. Who ever thought archeologists would find dinosaur bones in Montana?!? There’s nothing to destroy. The world purges and cleanses, creates and destructs on its own, as the universes explode and implode and explode over and over. Chill, JWs. Life is short. Stop abandoning your children. Get those old governing bodies out of your lives!
Judgement for watchtower is coming...on the morning of October 31st, 2023, at the WHITE HOUSE in Washington D.C. watchtower will be protested, bringing awareness to their harmful rules and policies. Support the protest go to: be free 2023. The more we let our voices be heard, the more lives are saved...PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST.. Go to the governments & protest..
Fair and square I will be there🫂✊🏼😏
Yess!!
I'll be there in Spirit. 😮
Banding together like a cult to bring down a cult?
@@lukeriely4468Nope! Just exercising our right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association
I once bought their take on religion, but can honestly say there was nearly half of it I either didn’t understand or disagreed with.
They come to you and sound so reasonable. But when you begin to research & look deeper you find the flaws. Especially with
the history & beginnings. I quietly faded away, many years ago, and there was nothing they could do. Sure I lost friends but
gained a sense of relief and calm and the freedom to search for ALL kinds of knowledge, which I still love today.
I know one "witness" who does not go because he likes it, but just because hes family obligates him to go.
Hes 17 now, but he always says that as soon hes 18, he wil quit the cult for good.
I already hooked hum up wuth a cheap 1 bedroom app, about 300 dollars a month.
It's a complex situation. I hope he does leave because living a lie is horrible. However, he will definitely lose his entire family if he is baptized. If he's not baptized, he might be able to fade, but he cannot make any grand exit just because he had a birthday. It will require a lot of finesse.
I cringed so hard during the music video that my spine ripped from my body and shot into space. Look for a new crater on the moon soon
Amazing how this cult makes me more and more ashamed.
I know the feeling 🙄
lol youll see soon, dont worry Lol
@@hibrohibro6572see what
you shouldnt unless you are still in,.
@@hibrohibro6572 YES, already the double generation was absurd and incomprehensible and now the Watchtower is making a decision which is the opposite of what it practiced for decades. This announcement is not even guided by holy spirit. YES really this cult is left to its own devices. The only way to hide the numbers is to stop publishing them, lol. During this announcement we could hear the JWs clapping like puppets. Had it been announced that blood transfusions are not scriptural or that the number 140,000 is no longer literal but symbolic or that there are no longer two hopes but more than one, all the JWs would have just as applauded the same way without asking the slightest question as if they had all been lobotomized. The JWs are truly clowns who will applaud as soon as an announcement is made by the Watchtower. The more time passes, the closer this apocalyptic cult comes to its end.
The double standards of this of this organisation are truly amazing. They think they can knock on peoples doors uninvited and tell them their religion is wrong and is going to be destroyed and get upset when people react negatively. On the other hand when they stand at their carts and someone comes up and challenges their beliefs, they see this as harassment and get on their phones and call the police!.
It had never rained before the flood Gen 2:6 Gen 6: 11-22 Gen 7:4,5 Gen7:21-23 Matt 28:19 John13:34,35 1Cor 1:10 Rev 17 :1 - 18
Rev 22:7
If they didn't have double standards they would have no standards at all.
The double standards are amazing... and infuriating. I've often said that JWs will tell a 90yr old Catholic nun who's been a Catholic her entire life and whose entire life revolves around her religion that she's wrong and that she must completely quit her religion, yet, they don't want anybody to tell them they're wrong. My own JW mother won't listen to the reasonable, factual info I have against her religion, but she'll try to tell all others where they're wrong.
Very typical of their attitude .Bigotry is their speciality.@@Spok12
Very true.@@alans.wendelschafer6588
A review of the WT articles over the several months reveals the increased focus on obeying the GB even if the instructions don't make sense. Ignore the weird color of the Kool-Aid friends. Just drink up.
The placement of those 2 police officers looking at the JWs on the bench is inserting subliminal FEAR OF POLICE. They go out of their way to stop the music and let the sound of police radios play in the background!! [Instill FEAR].
Now that it's no longer required to report hours except for pioneers , they're going to up the fear mongering more than ever because the one thing they sold as a ticket to paradise is scrapped. Pathetic cult.

It is noo light. The old candle burnt out.

I remember vividly. They destroyed thousands of lives, and now they don't want to talk about it. Weasels!
@@Virgochik
Yea, they have been tearing apart marriages and families for decades.
Watchtower is a bad tree, bearing bad fruit.
Why raise another alarm when the other alarms were inaccurate? If no one knows the day or the hour, how are they in the know? I was raised in the JW religion, and it makes me sad for their members.
Let's see the Governing Body out declaring this message of judgment right along with all the other publishers and not make the rank and file do their dirty work.
My dad was super opposed. He'd become violently abusive when my mom took us to the meetings to the point where I had to call the police on him when I was 15. My father never drank or used any drugs. He would throw away any literature he'd find in the house and we (mom, bro, sis, and I) used to have our family study 'under ban'. We'd have it in the hallway outside of my bedroom because my room was over the garage and we'd know he was coming. Everyone had their places to be once he entered the house. I would be out on service sweating buckets that my father would possibly catch me, beat me, and throw me in his car. I am living PTSD- but so glad now to be free.
Curious is the rest of your family still in ?
Trying to protect his family from this disgusting cult. Sad that you all didn’t listen.
@@nathancooper1 That's what happens with brainwashing. Plus I was a child- I don't blame myself for what happened to me. This cult shouldn't have existed in the first place.
@@karenmoody2763 My brother is out- he disassociated a while back, but he is still mentally messed up. My sister was out for 10 years had a child and recently went back. Mom is in for life. One of my cousins was recently featured in one of those awful jw films. Other than a half sister who wasn't raised around the jw garbage, I have no blood relatives (that I know personally) who aren't in the cult.
@@nathancooper1 Btw what you said was a really gaslighting comment. Very thoughtless. A lot of us are still healing, and if these are the types of comments you are making- you aren't going to make any friends.
I cringed when at 1:24 K. Cook said “to be even more zealous as we declare the good news”. The WT always making sure that the word “zealous” is imbedded in your brain and be perfectly understood at all times. Always, the message was “BE ZEALOUS, BE ZEALOUS, BE ZEALOUS”. I wanted to say: “ Please, just stop 😖. I get it.” Makes me think of people being programmed like a robot or computer to do the task automatically.
Even worse is when WT told you that if you don’t go out in the ministry to preach and teach, you become “bloodguilty”. Why? Because should the householder die without knowing about Jehovah and because you personally failed to deliver the message of salvation, you are bloodguilty! Of course, WT, will cherry pick a scripture to back their message. I thought Jehovah is the one to execute judgement, not humans. The WT instills fear and guilt in you in order to control the sheep to do its will. So glad that at 70 years old, I finally woke up. Fading PIMO here.
Just sad it took you to being 70 years old to figure it out. I wish you could turn back time and actually live your life in youth a little bit longer but Se la vie .
@@fuzzyh1ghland3r28, Hello, LOL, no, it did not take me 70 years to figure it out but my comment was already very long and I did not want to be a bore explaining. Actually, I learned about the "truth" when I was 14 years old and my sister and I started a study with a young JW our same age. After a few years, we stopped studying and went on to enjoy our teenage years. I started studying in Germany again in my mid 20's and mid 30's and got baptized there. Afterwards, came back to the US and became inactive while I went back to school and established a career. At 65 years of age, my husband was dying and the JWs came knocking at my door. I felt Jehovah was calling me back in my time of sorrow, and became active again. However, I did not feel quite right with all the organization's requirements. I recently learned about the JW pedophile scandals, the Australian Royal Commission, the cruel shunning, the suicides, etc. . . I came to realize this was not God's holy organization with all the lies and evilness within. I felt so betrayed and disappointed. On the other hand, contrary to what they teach, I did get my education, had a good job, and secured my retirement. Sorry for the long reply. Greetings from West Texas 🌞🌻🌵
For context, I’m a raised-in exjw (walked away over 40 years ago) and I’ve learned a lot since the time I left, and I find it extremely difficult to believe that any intelligent human alive today still believes in an invisible deity who intervenes in human daily affairs, or ever did!!
I can hardly believe that I ever did, but from what I’ve learned about the human mind, I now understand how ALL humans are programmed with the beliefs that they’ll hold (unless they become informed) for the rest of their lives…
So I understand why I was fooled, and rather than wallow in guilt, I’m grateful at having been informed and that I’m free from the bullshit.
Us too! Free from bs👍
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hfStart building friends and new family outside the cult before you leave. That’s we did and it worked out great!! Of course there will be pain from losing ppl but if they shun you, they were never real family and friends to begin with! Th Watchtower and GB is real estate company pandering as a religion!! You’re losing more precious time staying in that cult/business!
I’m not sure to whom you directed your post, if it was to me, let me know and I’ll be happy to pass on my sources from whom I’ve understood a lot.
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hf
Perhaps we’re not understanding each other, I was referring to information that I got about how human minds function and how that influences their behavior, unbeknownst to the vast majority. This, of course, refers to all of us, whether or not we’re members of ANY religion or cult.
I’m not speaking specifically about the jws, although what I’ve learned explains exactly how we’re all (all humans of ANY culture) susceptible to being programmed without any knowledge whatsoever about what’s happening to us. If that’s of any interest to you, I’ll be glad to proceed.
@PreciousPrecious-tn8hf
Alright then, it’s based upon science and has been known for millennia by certain groups, now scientists have managed to understand, observe, and measure the functions of the brain and how human behavior works.
I’ll start by telling you of the work of the cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton. Some years ago I got a copy of his book The Biology of Belief. I highly recommend it, too much info to review on this platform, but it explains about epigenetics and how, contrary to popular belief, our lives aren’t governed by our genes, but rather by our beliefs and thoughts. Also books by Dr. Joe Dispenza: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, and others.
Remember to be open minded and think about what you’re reading rather than rejecting it because certain sources (eg. parents, religious figures) that you thought that you could trust never told you these things. If you want to discuss further, let me know and we can exchange emails, or other contact info…
Riright out of the gate Kenneth Cook use a weasel word “evidently” which is an indication that what they say next is ambiguous.
I cringed when cardboard Ken opened his mouth to talk. He speaks as if he is talking to kindergarten kids. The nine governing body members are blood guilty for all those who died because of the No blood rule that they enforce. They belong in prison for the hundreds of thousands who have died because of that rule. Sadly, this includes children and women who died during childbirth because of the no blood transfusion rule.
Your mix of sarcasm and humor is getting better all the time! 😀
I cringed as soon as cardboard Ken’s face popped up. He reminds me of those stupid films we watched in grade school. When they’d tell us to hide under our desk if there was a nuclear bomb. The same monotone voice and the same worthless message. Jeez!!
atomic bomb films in grade school???? WHAT 😭😭
If they ever do this campaign of Doom, I hope NOONE REACTS. It'd be SO FUNNY if people were just like, "ok honey. Would u like some tea? You seem so tense. Come relax for a minute." Thats what I'd do. I'd be NICER bcz they're not expecting that!
I was in Leeds in England today. No JWs in their usual spot.First time I can ever remember this .Must be something to do with the latest new light.
They were there for a minute then left they’d got there time in lol 😂 what a joke they are!!!!

Yeah but you’d have a life!!!
There was some Jw always at the library & now they are not… i wonder why.
I also talked to multiple of them & then asked people to shun me because im an apostate…
Jesus never came to bring judgement on the world, but to save it. John 12:47 "If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world."
In any dire situation or emergency, the people going to the doors to warn people aren't afraid to tell the person at the door what is going on. It seems to me the only reason one would be 'terrified' is if that person didn't fully believe or had doubts about the message they had.
💯💯💯💯‼️
Good point!
They know exactly what is going to happen. No one is going to want to do the ministry and the elders who try to make the others do it will get hated over time and people are going to leave and fade a rapid rate and watchtower will blame the members for not standing firm.
Wonder if watchtower will be a org in 20 years
@@fuzzyh1ghland3r28 I also have a feeling they might create a division to possibly walk away from the JW label and try to rebrand and rename the same vile organization it is.
@invisibleJesus
Running away and not standing firm in the face of the enemy.
There’s a precedent for this possible outcome! When their years long predictions about 1975 being the end of Satan’s old world failed to happen Watchtower actually blamed the rank and file for “spreading rumours”, “being overly zealous.” Not one single word of apology or remorse was ever published for this debacle! Watchtower just expected millions of followers to accept the blame and keep their mouths shut. When thousands of JWs woke up and left, Watchtower published comments accusing these former members of “serving for a date” … i.e… 1975 didn’t a mount to anything so these fakers left!
Just a despicable religion of empty drivel. So glad to be out!
@@fuzzyh1ghland3r28maybe a very small one
This is a despicable and abusive cult.

Often I want to yell at these people and say “get to the point already!” Just say you hate anyone who is against you and you want us all to die in a lake of fire because you are a cult and you want control over everyone and everything man just show us your luxury cars and your mansions and say you think you are better than everyone else enough with the word salad it drives me nuts just say how you really feel about anybody who is not your obedient slave
29:25 “look how they massacred my girl”…you crack me up man.
The JWs love to criticize other beliefs but they can't stand the slightest criticism on the beliefs
You always do a great job showing how stupid their reasoning is.
15:57 They say "message we will be preaching" and "people get defensive when we challenge their beliefs," like they don't just tell everybody to go to the site for any question asked or challenge made.
I like how he made sure to take his son's shirt off before burning him alive. I mean, there is no need to ruin a good shirt
I think god should have a judgment hour, answer for everything horrific he has done, and his lack of action while children were being abused.

I don’t think I’ve commented here before but a subject came up the other day in Stacey Valens video concerning the urgency message that was and continues to be preached by the 9 deluded/ wicked souls in Warwick. As an ex JW myself, “ urgency” was so hypocritical and today also. Stacey gave the analogy of a burning building which is an urgent matter especially if there are people inside. Now, if this urgent matter by JW ‘s is as urgent then why the apathy? Standing and sitting around carts waiting for people to approach l and then if they do they just hand out a magazine? Going door to door on a Saturday morning (and most only do it that often) and if they’re brave enough, get their bibles out and then go to some park or cafe after a few doors for refreshments. Then after that maybe do a few more doors then call it a day? Little invitations to meetings that really don’t hit the urgency button anyway? I don’t know, it seems like the modern term for urgency has done a 180 since looking back at least 30 years ago. Let’s build a multi million dollar media building because the time is so urgent. Let’s withhold vital information from the authorities because it’s urgent. A big one for me is the so-called urgency when the GRC ( Government’s response to Covid) period was underway. That didn’t stop lobbyists going door to door and other authorities. Why couldn’t they go door to door with a mask or just keeping their distance? No, they just listened to their God in Warwick and did their little meetings via zoom. So much for courage and urgency. And please rank and file don’t tell me that they were still witnessing via zoom because your leaders have always harped on the message that house to house is the most effective way to preach. Your leadership is hypocritical, deluded and disgusting. Most of you unwittingly practice idolatry by serving a Warwick God
Spot on. As soon as I heard the Governments had ordered a no gathering order and lockdowns I thought, 'the JW's are going to be in trouble as they will NEVER stop going to meetings or doing the preaching work'. LOL - they caved at the very first sniff of opposition and cowardly obeyed the worldly governments lock stock and barrel. No respect for them whatsoever.
At exactly 31:03 when Sarah gives birth. Disney's, "I can show you the world" 8 bar. It's exactly the same listen.
My step dad is a canadian indigenous man who became a JW when I was a kid, it was really sudden, and I don't think it's no strange coincidence that his family is also hyper religious. His grandparents were residential school survivors, and I think that has had residual effects on everyone in his family.
He is a nice guy, but also kind of dumb, the kind of guy who laughs at his own farts. It would not surprise me if he adopted a religion instead of some introspection. Dude really needs therapy.
I just hope he snaps out of it one day, it would be nice for him and my sister (who is gay) to be on good terms again...
Thank God JW Watchtower Religion is going out of Business SOON

No sense of decency! That was not the time to pile on you. My mom's 88 and I could foresee them doing that to me too. I'm not planning on going to the service and making myself available for the harassment.
I just got back from my grandmothers funeral and did not start crying until they mentioned about the resurrection hope that they have. I just kept on repeating to myself “just let her rest in peace” but no, they had to make it about their so called hope
Admittedly the production is quality is good. So good that it is impossible that people were not sent to trained extensively on the craft. Almost like....higher education.

I was raised Seventh Day Adventist. The alarm sounding/crying wolf was off the hook. A world leader couldn't so much as fart without out it being interpreted as a "Sign of Times" that the end was near. Then when the next world leader didn't fart, that was the sign the end was eminent. Constantly back and forth and all over the place.
I wish theyd stop ✋️ pretending they're gonna have a Doom message. 😂 They just put a pamphlet out "LOVE PEOPLE, MAKE DESCIPLES!" And at the same time, they're pretending they're gonna preach Doom & Gloom? Nah
Yhwh was a Canaanite god originally. This story when put in a context, is a legend made up to mark the time in history when child sacrifice was fazed out. The legend of Jesus marks the end of animal sacrifice. They are stories that explain our spiritual evolution. Today we are going through an end to sacrificing our human rights for lies. Hopefully.

Ken gives no scriptural proof for ANYTHING that he says because there IS none 😂!
Even were there any scriptural backup, since the entire buybull is fable, who cares what’s written in it 😂!
Even when they give “scriptural” proof it’s usually out of context or given meaning that is entirely false. They cherry pick everything they say and create bullshite meanings for them.

Cardboard Ken looks like he is living high on the hog. Seems he has been at the salad bar too much. Gluttony is a sin Ken..........

I hate more and more all this " emotuonal manupulation" and the fear mongering...combined med sentimental music!
41:20 I tried to say that to my JW Mom, and she told me that Jehovah can choose to not foretell things sometimes, like switch or something. Idk how that makes sense to her 💀
Like whyyyy. That always made my brain itch. Why would you choose to make things more difficult if you know the best way?
His first word was, "evidently." Meaning, they don't have a clue!
I had a JW neighbour who would tell me her husband would burn her magazines and other literature, and tie her up so she couldn't get to the meetings.
Sounds like foreplay to me!
I'm sure the elders told her to pray more and try to be a better wife😂
The moment that made me cringe is when they zoomed in on kenny’s tie 😂
The Good News is about Jesus Christ-
Romans 1:1-6,9
Galatians 1:15-17
The letters to the congregations tell us the good news is from God, and it is about Jesus
Amen that is the truth
I’m a catholic. Our treatment (note: I was not alive then) was harsh and wrong, but so is the JWs. That is child abuse.
It is true already 4 carts ( they do not come to the door as they used to) I left my phone to discuss biblical interpretation, because they could not discuss it at the cart. No one called back.
Thank God publishers no longer need to report time as no one will be delivering this message from door-to-door.
Glad to be a patreon and watch this early 😊👍🏻
thank you for your support!
Jesus did not teach salvation through good works. Remember he taught about the parting of the sheep and goats? What did he say to those who named all their good deeds? "I never knew you". Please read the Bible again. It is only by putting faith in Jesus' blood sacrifice, repenting and confessing our sins that we can be saved. This deep realization brings us so much joy, freedom and love that we will freely express that love to our neighbour, i.e. all people we encounter, by visible deeds
I've realized something watching this video, I have had no appreciation, no value, for anything of beauty, permanence because I have always been taught god would destroy it all in Armageddon. I feel nothing for many things in my life that would normally be wonderful for people. #JWTrauma.
The scene of the angry man screaming at those women to get off his property or he’ll have his dog maul them was… pretty powerful. It sure as hell made me want NOTHING to do with JW, EVER, if that’s the kind of thing that can happen 🤣 Great advertising, guys!
Ripping apart things is projection. My mom used to rip apart my library books. I had to hide them in the backyard.
40:57 god just went like "lol just kidding, don't kill him, just wanted to torture you a bit"

1:08 Wow I lost really fast, because it was super cringy.
Isaac would have had trust issues with his father the rest of his life, if this were a true story. This is one of the reasons I started rethinking religion. It’s sick.
Ok..you got me at "Which ones" because as soon as I heard that...I knew EXACTLY where this was going.
I never liked this story when I was still catholic. My child brain couldn't comprehend why god had to test his loyal servant. Well, the bible implied that god was sort of jealous of all the love and attention that Isaac got and felt like Abraham loved Isaac more. But... Isaac wouldn't have been born in the first place if god didn't give Sarah the ability to get pregnant. So he kinda brought this on himself. Besides, how messed up and childish does god have to be to make such a cruel test? The most common excuse I heard from fellow catholics was "God never intended to kill Isaac and wanted to show that human sacrifice is bad."
Aren't there less traumatizing options? That feels very over the top and unjustified. That's like threatening to shoot your child's pet just to show how dangerous guns are.
18:00 So, Jehovah wanted to show how unjust the actions of the Catholic Church were in Canada back in that day. And did Jehovah equally want (the just God) to show the unjust and demented/perverted actions of the members of HIS Chosen people which was by this time apparent to the leaders of the organisation (with a database started in the 1950s to back it up) apparently not.
The funny thing is that Isaac is not a little child, but a young man in his twenties. Normally he is depicted being very young around 6 to 10, maybe twelve.
Their music drives me mad, its like watching phantom of the opera (I like musicals)
The JW version of “Jehovah” sounds like my jealous first girlfriend. Spoiler alert: I broke up with her..
✔✔- I'm so sick of somehow trying to make excuses for these insane lunatics. I lost it with the song & as far as the Abraham video goes, give me strength, kids watch this s*** & think its real.
This Abraham video will be so triggering fior the millions of JW women who gave up having children because of their faith. Watching a supposedly 90 year old Sarah giving burth and rejoicing in her own child, at last, will be so horrible for all the childless women and couples. 😢
Being forced to watch Abraham almost kill his beloved son will be devastating to any JW women who gave up children to adoption or had an abortion prior to coming into the "Truth".
😳
Any parents who have lost children to death or miscarriage.. also will be retraumatized.
😳
What a loving, merciful thoughtful organisation this... ISN'T!! 😭
AND... did anyone else notice that Sarah never goes over to defend her snall son from the bullying older son?? That NO ONE rescues the little boy from the abuse, happening in broad daylight, right in front of the whole community??
😱
REMIND YOU OF ANYONE??
🙈 🙉 🙊
Why does this sound like they’re copying mainstream Christian music? It’s like listening to Casting Crowns or We the Kingdom.
Imagine how this will look after the annual meeting gets released and it contradicts what Kenneth says here.
That's going to be a head scratcher for PIMIs, won't it?
That will push people really struggling with life as we know it right now. . Including veterans. It will push a lot of people over the edge. This should be stopped immediately
"No, telling them that they are doomed here shortly isn't Harsh???!"

"Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous *Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not only to me, but to all who have loved His appearing."
2.Tim.4:8
They'll have to quelch that "Jehovah" myth.
John 12:47 Jesus speaking "If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I DO NOT JUDGE HIM; for I DID NOT COME TO JUDGE the world but to save the world."

That was the first time He came, the second coming is for judgement.
@@mattmurdock2868no, he said he does not judge. It's the other writers of the bible, the apostle Paul among others that speak of Jesus impending judgement. It's their words not Jesus's.
Do THEY consider themselves exempt from this so-called "hour of judgment"? They forget that when they point the finger at someone else, there are THREE pointing right back at them. They can see everyone else's 'faults' except their own. Also, in classifying every other religion as false, notice they appear totally oblivious to their own: the CSA cases, the separating and destruction of the family unit, the lies and false prophecies... What hypocrites!
"He sucked balls doings it" BEST line I've heard from any ex-jw video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
24:22 that song…gagging …chocking…barfing…dogs howling…
"YOU, SIR ARE THE APOSTATE, JEHOVAH TALKS ABOUT !"
That brother that sang that song had a good voice. Talent wasted 😢
