Well done guys... As always! Funny story, I know an ExJW that while still active was financially struggling and she had nothing, I mean nothing and 4 children to feed. And the husband wasn't in the situation at the moment. So the elders told her that the branch recommended that she look into the various local community services to get food and medical assistance, including.... Drum roll please... The local Catholic Church had a food bank!!! 😳 Ya, go to Christendom to get food, but as a religion, we claim to be a charity! 🤨 Unbelievable!
Its so crazy to me, now, how i once believed apostates were terrible people. That's what the gov body/jws taught me to believe. I am so thankful for you guys!❤❤❤ You guys are proof that what they teach are lies.
I'm so happy you tuned in! We have a deep love for our viewer-friends and for each other and we are excited to share our knowledge & experiences with others in the hopes of saving them some of the struggles & lost years that we went through. It humbles us to know we are dispelling myths about those that have left the organization! Thank you again for joing us, love you!!! -Falon 😊
I’m just starting to listen to your channel for the first time. Part of my family is JW, 3 generations. My aunt by marriage, my cousin and her husband, and my cousin’s daughter from her first marriage. I’m trying to understand what their perspective is which seems to be hidden at some levels. I think my cousin over the years thought she might convert me but probably has come to the conclusion that it will never happen. I’m curious if the JW doctrine wants limited contact to non-JW. I grew up Catholic but became agnostic once I left home at 19. I paid my way to get a Bachelors degree. Earlier this year, on a very long drive with my cousin, she asked me what I was most proud of. I said that I was proud that I was able to get my degree and said that education is extremely important to me. Many years ago I went to a district JW meeting I was really surprised when during this meeting it was highly recommended to not get a higher education. Is this gender specific and does no one question this doctrine? Thanks for any insights.
Hi, thank you for sharing! To answer your question, no, they discourage everyone from attending college. And yes, everyone SHOULD question this practice! But as I've said before, although this is very abnormal, when you are born & raised in the organization, it SEEMS normal to you because you don't have any other experiences to compare it to for perspective. We discuss this in great detail in the video below... thanks again! (And congratulations on your degree!!! That's awesome! ) th-cam.com/video/tR-ANJt5Onw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kIo-Sy3FTJWwEKJX
If you're in the States and voting for the first time, I'd suggest requesting a mail in ballot, ASAP at this point in time for the 2024 election. Especially if you're PIMO or faded, you might be uncomfortable with voting in person. It is overwhelming to me to vote for the first time, but with the absentee ballot coming in the mail, I feel at ease. It gives you time to research everything and you can track where your ballot is from the time they receive your request, to when they receive your votes.
I'm in North Carolina and totally agree. Just mailed in my ballot Monday (had to get two witnesses, no pun intended) and received a text confirming receipt by post office and that it's on its way to the County Board of Elections. I will receive another text soon. I've been voting by mail since 2018, voting in person since 2008.
I heard JW state opinions about events in politics. Some made medical decisions based on concerns about a party winning and they may not have the health care for certain procedures that they had and health care could be diminished under that party’s control.
First time viewer here. What gets me about brothers being "appointed by holy spirit" is like in the ARC case, did the holy spirit appoint her dad as an MS while he was guilty of CSA? I don't think so.
@Mercipher21 Hi, thanks for joing us! And yes, the times that they choose to be/not to be "directed by Holy Spirit" makes zero sense. Plus, with the CSA cases, the cover-up is SO OBVIOUS, it's clearly just a man-made organization. -Falon
@@DiffiCULTChildhood Agreed. Have you seen the letter to elders several months ago with new direction given to elders on handling CSA cases? I have a copy of it and I found it rather disturbing.
I am not American so I have a question about learning about government in school there. Could JW Parents prevent their children learning about government since they aren’t meant to be involved in it?
I don't know if they could prevent them from learning about it since it's usually considered part of core curriculum. But they do ban jw students from participating in any form of student government (student senate, etc)
You nailed the ending.

Wheres the morality? What about all the investments in tobacco alcohol and movie trade. Such hypocrisy. Do as we say not as we do.
We are not of the world but still IN the world.
Love the idea of getting more than one perspective, but watch Fox News? A bridge too far. Oh hell no! 😬🤣
