exjw ex jehovah's Witness Former Pioneer Former Ministerial Servant Former Elder Watchtower Cult governing body update
They’ve switched from beards making a person worldly to man buns being the indicator 🤣
Lol
Man buns and tight pants the most evil things in the jw world
Oh god!
Looks like it. Guess it’s the same old crap in this cult
😂🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I was in a dark place when I decided to be roped in. I started to feel like I was in a community with people who sincerely cared about me, I felt like I belonged. That is once I decided to take the dip, then slowly but surely I started having doubts, the people who I thought were going to be lifelong and eternal friends we're anything but. Then covid came and that's when I fully realized I was in a cult seeing all those robotic faces on Zoom, and that's when I started fading. Of course the texts and calls came in once my screen name wasn't on Zoom for weeks. The hipster couple seemed much happier before they became witnesses in this video, their stress levels went up because that's what happens when you live a life full of guilt if you don't witness enough, pray enough, study enough, attend boring meetings around fake friends enough, the list goes on. Great video Wally, always funny and entertaining.
I understand your experience. It would be nice to hear your story or read about it, if you enjoy Writing. It all sort of “dawns on us” after the baptism part.
Yes I started Bible study with them and they already dropped me bc I joined a Christian church 😂
@@KatiegirlluvBest Move Ever 🎉😊🎉
I started fading after I came out of the dunk tank. I noticed how I was treated, certainly unfairly and often times abuse occurred as well. Then came the CSA issue. At that point, I said, NOPE, I'm done here, Gone and never to return.
😊🎉
The one thing I don't miss about being a JW is going from door to door. I was always glad when people did not answer.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bettyeboop2942 🤣 Same.
They don't have to anymore and don't even need to count time anymore.
Just make time count!! Informally
@theresefournier3269 So many Jws just wasted so much time doing it in the past. It is so sad that the GB just wasted people's lives because of man made rules.
@@theresefournier3269 So many JWs in the past wasted so much time counting time.
@@bettyeboop2942 hehehe... just the comment i once made, decades ago, about the field service reminding them if that's how the Messiah did it; counting or not the time spent on breaks at Tim Hortons, etc..
Wow eh?!
What a trip😘
These couples are utterly devoid of personality once they join the cult. It's uncanny and sad.
Erosion of self, typical cult behavior
They also seem like they can barely read. The perfect converts, I guess.
I noticed the jewelry and clothing pattern change. She was natural, earthy and beautiful and now she looks like character from little house on the prairie. Tiny earrings, lace collared prim and proper. The couple studying with them seem so judgmental and uptight, definitely not empathetic over what life struggles happen.
They attract people who have become spiritually lazy and don't mind leaving their brain at the door. Better yet, in the parking lot.
Absolutely 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽
Because of the super tight schedule, the previous friends and Family get easily replaced and forgotten…🙁
It's been the last days since 1978 in my life
"You cannot make claims of the extraordinary and give proof of the mundane!" Very true!
"extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"
Exactly!! What about members of other faiths as well as atheists who make these same kinds of claims? How about Christ himself as well as angels that healed and blessed in many ways individuals who weren't and never became Christian? Something is rotten in the state of the Watchtower Media Studios ** sniff, sniff** .....
@@cyrusacre
EVERYTHING about the witchtower is ROTTEN! For context, I’m a raised in longtime exjw, so I know what I’m talking about.
Just saying.
@greyberet1 I believe you; I was raised jw in the Northwest, I was one of the lucky ones who chose not to get involved by being baptized, ect. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, SO glad I dodged THAT bullet!!! Much success!!!
@@cyrusacre
Thank you! I made some questionable choices by staying in (sort of 😆) and met my future wife (that worked out well for us both), then we both just walked away, no fuss or even reaction from our former “friends”…
Just as well 😆…and that was well before all the scandals involving the wt “gb”, the exposure of the CSA, and all the things being exposed and the consequences to the wt.
Yeah, the wt doesn’t want to bring reproach upon the name of jehooovah (a name invented centuries ago by a cleric of some denomination), and so much more…
I’m ashamed to admit that I was ever associated with them at all…
Cheers from canada 😆!
Wally you seem enthusiastic and happy, great to see that
I am starting to get used to sobriety! it has been a brutal long journey but starting to feel and see the benefits now
@@exjehovahswitness good for you man, I've been there, I still struggle sometimes but when a whole week goes by and you've done nothing but get high, it sucks, the weeks where you actually get stuff done feels so much better
@exjehovahwitness Congrats Wally. Keep going.
@@exjehovahswitness👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🤩😎 KEEP GOING WALLY 😊
@exjehovahswitness this makes me so happy ❤ I have noticed you have been extra awesome and funny and bright lightly
"JW's are pop-up ads" - Brilliant!
EXJWs are ad blockers. 😂🤣🙃
Why the hell would anyone want to be a Watchtower slave ?
Yes. It’s so hard to have JWs around for conversation, because it seems EVERYTHING a normal group of company could talk about, you CAN’T with a JW. You can’t talk politics. Religion. How your son loves watching Boxing or Wrestling. How your daughter is preparing for University. Cant talk about good brands of vodka. Cant talk about the horror movies you snuggle up to with a bowl of ice cream. Cant talk about growing old. Makeup. Nail polish. Hair styles. HOA. Gossip. You name it, you can’t talk about it without offending. It’s eggshells. You’re exhausted afterwards.
Your absolutely right. Nice day = Jehovah , Bad day = This old system Sick = New system. Death = Resurrection on and on and on ad nauseum. With that said I hope you are having a great day 🦅🦅🦅
@@dand3329 Thank you. I am. Hope you are too
🦅!
Hmm, that was never my experience minus horror movies!
@@dand3329 🦅
The cat wants to be featured in your videos 😂
About 15 years ago I knew a young girl who was attacked by a dog while preaching. Her leg muscles were exposed and disconnected from her body. I believe she fully recovered but anyway… I guess her angel was more concerned with puddles that day
On one of the first times I went out in the ministry I went to a door, there was a good dog the step it was all wagging tail and pats, turned to leave and it lunged and got hold of my calf. It bruised so bad, but that was Satan apparently trying to persuade me to not go witnessing. Thank goodness I woke up before I got Baptised into this cult. Unfortunately my husband (who was raised in the cult is still a POMI) The calls from his parents every month or when there is a disaster of some sort and the whole “oh Armageddon is nearly here” right you said that 30yrs ago when we got married and told us not to have kids, luckily we didn’t listen because we would be told old now no kids and sad and lonely, like many of his family members.
I watched the news today and not once did they mention the org being persecuted, but they did say a bunch of other religions were going or have been undergoing harsh treatment! Yet they act like they are the only ones who endure persecution. So cringe, we used to believe that way - like we were so special and being persecuted for the faith, lol.😂
Nice young couple living their best life and then they encountered that church! So messed up!
"church"
Your cat is great. 😊Always love seeing her. ❤Of course, the entire video is wonderful too.👍
Greetings from Bavaria/Germany🇩🇪
A strong point about why religious advocates, salesfolk, and overeager men wanting a date have all got under my skin in the exact same way since I can remember - they have their desired outcome, and I'm a vending machine in their eyes. My wants, my choices, are hella irrelevant
Whoa I was just dealing with a salesman on the phone today... such a sweet sweet man and then oops I said: Not right now, I will think about it... he flipped out 😂
So everything they show that couple doing before they become jw’s is what I’m doing now that I’ve left jw’s lol…and actually feeling happy and like I’m making a difference. They are so delusional
The only inflation they should talk about is there ego
I remember a brother was attacked by dogs after he ignored the Beware of Dogs sign. He told the brothers the angels were w/ us, & they wouldn’t allow us to be harmed in the ministry.
This was like in the 80’s, & shortly thereafter, after more & more reports started to surface of JWs being cited for disobeying No Trespassing Signs & other City Ordinances, they gave instructions to obey such signage.
Yep! We got the same talks. Our territory included a lot of rural, mountainous area. An elder disregarded the No Trespassing signs and had a shotgun trained on him with a very angry man holding the trigger. He, the elder, was such a pompous jerk….
@@choosewisely616 It’s crazy how many similar stories I hear no matter the city, state, or country. Lol. Geez! Lol
I cannot stand how arrogant and stupidly persistent Witnesses are. It is very annoying.
John the baptist was decapitated. Where was his Angel?
They must of been on strike. As Paul watched Steven being stoned to death 😢 +++many more like that just read the bible for horror stories 😢) and we can THANK Wally for putting them up 🎉 ...
He was busy telling people not to celebrate birthdays because someone died last time.
Now homie has two nickles, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@patriciapitt4228Admittedly, it’s a little off topic, but your response reminds me of a brother in my original congregation who used to say: “Imagine what it must have been like when Paul and Stephen met in heaven in 1918!”
Good god that example was so misleading. I hated the subliminal shit. Not only were those ‘actors’ completely unable to display the emotional complexity of changing one’s spirituality, there was a woman minister officiating the couple’s wedding, the sister in law used ‘Neanderthal’ as an insult (that didn’t even work in context), and the use of JWs to police them rather than validate and support. And look - the couple isn’t doing anything to help the community in practical ways anymore. No. Nope. Nah.
I was hoping the wife would run off with the bald guy and they would both quit!!
"Would you follow the exact same recipe if it always turned out dry?" No, Wally of course not. Repetition while expecting different results each time is the definition of insanity, after all.
Which church are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many churches are not true according to this scriptures, Matthew 7:21-23,Roman's 10;1-3,2Corintians 11:12-15,2thimoty 4:3-4,2Peter 2:1-3,1John 4:1.
Exactly. And constantly telling people the end is near for the last hundred years. And they will recycle the same old story because they are all dying of old age now & destroying their old books 📚.

None, including JW organization!
I see them all the time around where i live. They always seem to go to the trailer parks,the people,like me,on the lower income side. The people they know are struggling,so hopefully an easy lay-up.
Man buns. The new “666”. Also, how is one supposed to have inner peace when they can’t pay their bills?
But if man buns do become mainstream, they'll eventually (fifty years on) announce that brothers may now wear a man bun - though perhaps not when giving a talk. We'll even see GB members with one 😅
Keep going Wally🎉
I felt sadness for that couple…😰
It's crazy!! What's wrong with yoga and coffee?
I felt nothing but contempt for all fckng jw's.
The guy with the man bun was a personal attack agaisnt Harrison Cothier from the channel Truth Hurts.
Yeah, I spotted that 😂 They need to do Wally and Lloyd next.
“Pop up ads on ppls lives” is the most accurate thing I’ve ever heard
She called ManBun a "neanderthal" and that was (I assume unintentionally) a really clever joke!
(because Neanderthals had an occipital bun....get it? Im gonna go put myself in nerd timeout)
lol. No need for a timeout just because of your knowledge of ancient crania 😂
That was definitely a dig at our cousins.
You have such a sweet cat!
My god I HATE the bland horrible acting in their shorts🤣 the long pausing, the monotone delivery, the lifeless faces?? Lmao
This drama to me, as a former JW would be marked a tragedy. These kind, creative, open minded people got caught with these parasitic people that began getting all up in their business, leashing them and making them feel guilty. I got truly sad watching this, so, so, so, so glad to be out
A cool couple to robots ! Sad really
For the Algo again. On the road to 50k subscribers 🎉
Fingers crossed!
This ridiculous notion that JWs are doing the same preaching Jesus and the disciples did
Hey Wally. I liked the disappearing act of the elderly man! I've been in my garden & stayed perfectly still by a bushy plant while they called & left. After they left, I recalled clips of people reaction when Jw knocked on their door, which had me rolling with laughter. Hope you're having a great day & stay safe!
That plant sure came in handy!
I wish we could see their old friends trying to talk them out of this.
My mother’s side of the family studied before my existence. My grandmother was baptized and then disfellowshipped because she didn’t quit smoking in the 70s. I remember my mother and stepdad studying through my childhood. That’s when I heard it was the “true religion”. I got baptized in early adulthood and believed. That belief, after I was inactive reared its ugly head. I’ve been so negatively affected from 2018 on. But thankfully I have unpacked all of the psychological issues and trauma from the religion. Damage was done to my life when I didn’t know it was a farce. I still have resentment because all those events would not have happened if I would not have been indoctrinated. My CPTSD would have presented in a different way. Not a purging of the JW religion.
That is why it is so difficult to have a normal conversation with my wife (Active fanatic pioneer) while I'm a PIMO...
She talks all the time Watchtower talks
You should take yourself out of the organisation rather than just going along with it. If it’s because you’re worried about being shunned ask yourself if they really care about you.
I feel for you. None of my family are no longer in. I learned from family that only studied. So, my life is beautiful on this side because I can enjoy the beauty of people that aren’t JWS and in my community. I know you love your wife. If she’s never going to wake up… consider choosing happiness and peace. Not judgement and doomsday negativity.
@@Smashingblouse the problem is I live as foreigner in the country of my wife, So I be kicked out by my wife, then no home and also no more home or anything in my birth country.. (I live already here almost 20 years)
@@Christen-ed2qj Would it be possible to become a citizen of this country…you must have given it some thought 💭
@@darh3375Regrettably, we’re in an era when all too many countries have tightened their entry requirements-let alone their citizenship requirements. Ironically, for instance, this appears to be stance now being taken in a number of Common Market countries given the results of the recent European Parliament elections. As another example, here in the United States, the debate is, unfortunately, between the lesser and worse of two bad options: Either tightening or completely closing the borders. (Shamefully ironic for a nation which bills itself a “melting pot”!)
I can't....I just can't with this anymore. You're doing the Lord's work Wally.
Here’s the button for those who were raised in “the truth”. Including myself ❤️🩹💔
Hoping for healing ❤️🩹 soon
I’ve noticed this conversational style has prevented a close marital bond. His head-of-household thoughts dominate in the same way.
Cannot wait for your uploads! Handle it Brother! People are listening!✊🏽
Organizational membership, living up to their dedication vow and carrying out the perfunctory tasks the governing body assigns them must be so rewarding. The assured expectation of knowing they might be spared by the ‘chosen ones’ must be comforting. Remember, it’s not what Christ’s shed blood did for you, it’s what you can do to prove your worthiness. ☹️
Either outlook is equally absurd!
I love your “long-winded rants”. I rant too but nobody listens LOL. YOU should be a Therapist though! YOU have helped so many people using facts, logic, humor, and Zeezee! You are so appreciated!
Your long winded rants are actually making a difference
Watching the opening of the drama counting the number of things they won't be allowed to do after they join....
I love the long pause in there response to one another. It makes it much more realistic 😂
'pop up ads'....got it....took me way to long to realize you said that because I was trying to figure out what Papa Bats were rofllll #PapaBats
I know what you mean. Regrettably, at the moment, I need to listen without earphones (mine broke and I can’t afford another pair right now) and the volume booster on my phone leaves a lot to be desired. I heard the same thing and asked myself the same question.
Hello Wally 😊Always delivering authenticity & humor 😅👏👏👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☯️
I wanna see a super cut of this that is completely reversed and starts out with them in the ministry with somber music, then shows them getting more progressively artistic, integrated into their community, and then getting married.
Wally and his co-host 😂 idk how you weren’t laughing the whole time that’s impressive
Hi Wally and Zeezy. Love your humor cutting through the bs.
They keep repeating the same negative talk. How you say you serve a happy God but always worried about so-called Satan
Wally has zeal keep up the good work. 👍
Telling the real truth is important and honerable thing to do for humidity's sake 😊
Walley's the GOAT! ❤
Geez! People don’t talk like that! That couple sounds like they’re talking to their parent! So sorry and trying to do better, that packed calendar getting reworked like a Rewards Schedule for a toddler! It’s so depressing! They go from normal and joyful to soooo rigid and sorrowful.
This is so true when I was studying I had to shut down on others but after all I realised this is a cult.
Random thought: I saw the guys earrings and was wondering the entire time if they were going for the studs look or if they were insinuating he had plugs, assuming by the "style" they had them in. I only wondered because I got plugs after I left so it was funny to think that maybe now they consider those types of piercings "worldly". XD
Yeah, I was thinking what'll he do once he's a Witness if he's had his lobes cored.
You always make my day Wally. Your mood is contageous 😊❤
Meditation and man bun go hand in hand like a tatoo on a murderers.
They all have that sing songy voice
They use to look so happy and fun .before coming a jw now they look so sad all the time
Please do not curse us with the return of the man bun! 😢
They were so much happier before being indoctrinated.
Great video ❤❤ 👍🏻 Wally it's indeed a very traumatic and stressful experience be there
My prayer is usually Our Father Who art in heaven Hallowed be thy Name-Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on Earth and it is in Heaven...
They saying the same old same old
As a Christian I love your videos Wally keep it up
Resistance Is Futile!
I find it funny that the angel stayed outside. Like he didn’t want to enter the Kingdom Hall. 🤣
lol, the couples friend has a man bun, super not obvious messaging regarding men’s hair length. So they claimed for 100 yrs that Jabobah cared about beards, now they still claim he cares about long hair on men? What if they change their minds tomorrow? Who knows with the borg
Holy moly, your placement of Patrick falling asleep has me 💀
Now I truly understand the conversations I had with JW’s, why brother X had to control the conversation at all times 😂🍹☮️
Oh you nailed it Wally with the control the conversation or shut down!! Bingo!!
Thanks Wally. Let's conclude with a prayer. 😂
I'm now really keyed into the word "inflation" - shifting the blame away from greedy corporations. Add in that this is x-ian propaganda and you've got a complete circle: support religion -> despise democracy -> support religion
Omg, so these ppl are to give up all their OWN goals for the organization's (I mean Jehovah's) goals?!?!? The Bible talks about the apostles giving up everything to go preach and not have a family, any material things, a career, to make preaching the only thing they did. The ppl in all the congregations in Bible times... it didn't talk about them going door to door, or preaching. They worshipped at the synagogue and took care of their daily life and family... the end. Preaching was the apostles job. The governing body uses and misconstrues every scripture to guilt ppl into their miserable new life of dedicated service to the organization... I mean Jehovah....
Stepford Wives vibes.
Great Job Wally thanks God Bless You Bro
At 3.53 When Zee Zee appears and looks around to see who you're talking to, do you think she's worried that she may think you're mad? After all, she can't see anybody you're talking to. Then she gives you a pity cuddle
Love your videos! Hugs from Brazil
thanx again appreciate your perspective! and yer sense of humor 😅
Great stuff, Wally! So saccharine sweet!
🎉 great video!
Is it just me or do these actors sound extremely unnatural and robotic?
It's because they aren't actors that they're so robotic and unnatural 😅
OMG the monotonous droning on in those videos 😮
the cake analogy is great! You are always the one to fix
God always answers my prayers
Mine too !!! 😂
you da man Wally!
Omg wally! W.W. that was great
Watching that video again from the assembly made me think that a X-Men movie is more realistic than that 😂
They literally have something on the calendar for every single day
That’s the treadmill or hamster wheel of being a witness: Congregational meetings, field service, family study, personal study, preparation for meetings and service, three assemblies throughout the year, ad infinitum, ad nauseum, world without end. Amen.
I think that the angels in Hamburg where in a bar having great German ale..
Noooo!!!! Not the man bun!!!!
"You can't use a metal detector if you don't search for something."
Me: "NO SHIT!"
Strangely enough, that speaker’s point would have at least sounded as though it made more sense had he instead said: “You can’t use a metal detector if it isn’t calibrated.” He could have tied that in with how Jehovah’s witnesses are “calibrated” by study, meetings and the “interchange of encouragement” of association with the “worldwide brotherhood”. It still would have been stupid (to put it mildly), but it would have sounded a little better than what he said.
It was Wally's cat censored cake butt that made my absolute day hahaha 🤣😂
Thank God I left JW so I could watch this video.
Awesome
The Slap 😂😂😂😂
Hi Wally and Zeezy. More propaganda and feel good crap 11:01 It seems as if their answer to everything comes from the Bible..If someone would take away their crutch they would be as helpless as a baby.
So good to see and hear Zeezy. Lightfoot looked out the window to see the cat he was hearing.
Looking forward to more comedic convention stuff.
And why in the name of jumping Jehoshaphat are they studying on the step? Is this some sort of penitence?
