In the parable, the son didn't have to meet with anyone. The father just welcomed him back.
That’s a great point! The movie vs the actual story was two different things
Neither did he judge or pre-judge him. He was just ecstatic to have him back!
It's crazy when you consider that--being imperfect and born into an imperfect world, the watchtower org demands perfection. Perfection does not exist in an imperfect world and doesn't make room for human nature. Suppressing what's natural, emotions and natural desires one was born with, is cruel and can lead to twisted and sexual deviancy. When guilt is piled onto this 'natural' expression, it can even cause marital problems later in life (sexual problems in the bedroom) as that guilt and the lingering effects of unfulfilled desires and lengthy suppression can take a toll on the Psyche, and future relationships. I guarantee that none of the governing body experiences these things, whether married or unmarried. They just have a twisted view of sexual expression and 'release', and, again, this goes back to their god who, in ancient Sumer, was a sexual deviant. Imagine if these witnesses, like the guy in the video, knew the truth about Jehovah and his sexual prowess. Imagine him carrying such heavy guilt (over his 'crime') to the extent that he turned to suicide, believing he committed this gross sin against a god who, himself went into exile for raping a young medical student; the same deity who 'enjoyed' sexual relations with his own sister! Yet these are truths you won't hear from the watchtower society or any organized religion. This is also why the "tree of knowledge" is still forbidden within the organization so as not to reveal these truths. This is also why the watchtower study conducted on Sunday can only be answered from INSIDE the watchtower, just in case someone may have knowledge of these things and may 'accidently' comment on it during the meeting. The elders would have a cow! And would have to report it to the GB. The person answering from his or her own learned knowledge could possibly even face disfellowshipping, for 'misleading the congregation with FALSE teaching'. Thus, by answering ONLY from watchtower, there's no fear of revealing (accidently or purposely) what the GB don't want revealed. Finally, this is also why we don't see reference in the watchtower's literature to those lost books of the Bible, in particular the Gospel of Thomas or the Book of Judas. Those witnesses (or even ex witnesses) who would dispute these facts (due to years and decades of watchtower's intense indoctrination), should do their own research, and find out for themselves.
Yeah but he wasn't baptised. Classic loophole ;)
It’s raining. A perfect time to be with the girl. Falling in love. Love making. A time to be exuberantly happy. To be dancing in the rain. But no, this cult will screw it up with guilt. They will ruin it. They will make your life miserable. Everyone should run away from this cult. Everyone!
Completely agree! They try to demonize beautiful experiences
@victor
Screwed up old FUDDY DUDDIES who have been DEPRIVED life and life's
sweet joys.
MORALITY is a fascinating word irrespective which side of the coin is looked at.
Even as a teen watching
When he left her place and started crying i was like, "it couldn't have been *that* bad bro" 😂
Right 😂. He acted like she pulled out matching parts when the light went off
@@AwakenTruths😂😂😂😂

Ok, prior to him being in her apartment, she was looking cute. However!! when he’s in her apartment, they, the watchtower cult, make her look horrid and evil. Watchtower manipulation.
Many JW's including yours truly did marry young due to sexual desires, my ex-wife and I divorced almost 20 years later realizing we didn't really love each other, the pressure this organization puts on you is ridiculous! Many young JWs were DF left and right due to sexual issues, trying to suppress natural human urges especially being a young person is crazy! Good topic guys!
Oh boy, I’m so horribly awkward. People were always watching me like a hawk I couldn’t talk to boys. I am so horribly awkward. I’m 15 years behind socially and I hope to fix it.
You’ll catch on in no time!
Yeah, I'm awkward af, and I'm about 30 years behind socially. You leave this org as a social infant, no matter your age, if you were born in. Maybe not everyone, but definitely that is the case with me.
I never cried after getting a piece.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😊
🤣
I felt bad too, but I was an adult. So, all my frustration built up and then the guilt sets in. Then you have to tell strange men what you did. The worst experience ever.
A terrible experience!
Those nasty a** men wanted graphic details, and when I wouldn’t disclose EVERYTHING, I was labeled “unrepentant”
Off topic but girl that man loves to you DOWN and you can tell every time to you speak the way he looks at you❤
That's facts. Every video when she talks, he turns his body and looks at her intently and hears what she has to say.
We really appreciate that. It’s crazy y’all can see it through a screen. I love me some of him. We’re really bestfriends ❤️
I swear he’s the best listener. He makes me better at communicating m. I love me some him 🙈
The thing that still blows my mind is that people go to uneducated, not qualified Elders with their marital and family problems and lfollow their advice. It’s the brainwashing of it all. 😩
Literally!
No legal training whatsoever and asking the most intrusive questions- I’m surprised the government doesn’t stop these illegal courtrooms
Hate how they try use the prodigal son for coming back after fornicating. The prodigal son was in want and since there was a famine in the land he was even willing to eat the pods that the swines ate. And before the father took him back, he was working feeding the swines as well. Swines are mentioned as an abomination to God and anyone eating or even touching them were unclean. Yet, the father still took him back with no questions asked knowing he had knowingly broken one of God's laws. So if that was the worst of the worst and the son was still accepted, why are jws disfellowshipped for fornicating or drinking or smoking??? These are way lesser sins than what the prodigal son was involved with yet he was forgiven. Such a disgusting cult!! You guys do a great job with these videos by the way. Even though serious, you still can keep it light knowing that some viewers are bawling due to what they've been through in this cult while watching this. Thanks once again and keep up the great job!!
When my husband and I were disfellowshipped for doing the business the elders kept picking on me. My husband’s father was an elder and my dad was a JW that didn’t want special privileges so when we were in the room with them they kept asking me very uncomfortable questions and telling me that I didn’t love Jehovah or my husband because I should have told my husband no. They made it seem like I was a floosie but this was my first time offense with the one man I loved and married. I’ll never forget how violated I felt by them. My husband and I were so shocked when they disfellowshipped us because we thought we did the right thing by going forward. Yet we still went to every meeting and got reinstated. Finally by the time we hit our 30’s we left the JW and so did my side of the family. We’ve never been happier.
i was never disfellowshipped but was raised in but i just left grew out of it… my dad and sister are still in this cult my parents got divorced when i was 12 i stayed with my mom she is free with me from all this BS
i was never baptized also i just got into other things got a “wordly” GF got new real friends and found myself and now i get to do what i love for a living and live a normal life happily
i hope whoever is still mentally stuck in all this gets out and find themselves physically and mentally it did take me a good while to build courage and self esteem for myself JW watchtower needs to end..
love the whole channel also tho big love y’all look great❤ glad i found y’all i can relate to a lot haha
Yes there was so much suppression in this organization especially when it came to teenagers they couldn’t talk about the opposite sex, couldn’t talk about having a crush on someone in school. It just didn’t seem like a healthy or natural environment teenagers need to express themselves and be themselves and have a normal conversation without someone judging them it really was crazy and sad. 😞 🤪🙄
Most definitely! They try to convince kids not to be kids. Just wanting them to be robots instead
💯
You don’t know what went down in that bedroom, could have been some serious 50 shades of gray stuff, I’d be out crying in the rain too! 🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣 she flipped the script on that man lol
I really enjoy your channel! You two are awesome! My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses, so I grew up in this cult back in the 80's and early 90's. I thank God that I never succumbed to the pressure to get baptized. At one of the meetings an elder was giving a talk about a sister in another congregation who as he put it "inadvertently bought a lottery ticket without thinking about it". Well, that ticket that she bought just so happened to be a $1,000,000 winner. The sister supposedly felt guilty about buying the ticket because she committed a gambling sin. So the sister confessed to the elders and asked them what she should do about the winning ticket. The elders didn't have a clear answer themselves so they called JW headquarters at Brooklyn at that time. JW headquarters told the elders that the sister needed to give the ticket back or leave the truth. When I heard that, I was a teenager at the time sitting in the Kingdom Hall thinking to myself how this $1,000,000 could have more likely changed this sister's life; and she would have more likely donated money to the congregation and organization as well. This is just one of the many reasons why I did not succumb to pressure to get baptized.
That is CRAZY! Thankfully you got to hear this and get away from the cult early. That sister could have been rich enough to go in “field service” all the time. Those people are crazy
So If the brother in the video said in the rain personally "Jehovah I'm so sorry" ... why would he get disfellowshipped? He's repentant!
You are both right. Speaking from personal experience, I was in a 8 year marriage that ended. I decided to leave after enduring years of toxicity and unhappiness. I was an elder. I wanted to leave but couldn’t because of what I feared to lose. After some time I built the courage to leave. I planned my exit which caused the calapse of my marriage. My reputation was tainted but I regained peace of mind in the end. I’m aware it’s a decision I have to live with for the rest of my life and I acted out of character to leave that marriage but I did what I had to to escape unhappiness. Ppl will never understand. There is no way to get a divorce or legal separation from a marriage once a Jehovah witness unless someone dies or cheats. It’s very toxic. It’s easy for ppl to judge but it takes someone with true empathy to understand. Being in 8 years made me realize how much of a lie and pretense my marriage was built on. We were not compatible, i walked on egg shells all day and I was isolated from my non witness family.
It’s a super power to be able to walk in your authenticity these days. We can only applaud you! There is nothing comparable than having your peace of mind and i will choose it every time!
I would be crying because I didn't get none. Lol
Yall guys are amazing and are always exactly on point with some humor! Keep up the good work! Greetings from a freshly new ‘apostate’ family 😂
Welcome to the fam!! And we appreciate that
Yooo we were really in a weird ass cult! 😬
Especially looking back on these type of videos 😅
@@AwakenTruths when we were mentally in, this movie seemed so powerful and dramatic but now it looks absolutely ridiculous! 🤣
This couple is so beautiful and I love the respect you have for each other. You guys make it easy to understand that moral values do not have to be associated with a religion, they are from within.. ❤
King David wasn't crying
He was skinnin and grinnin 🤣
King David sneaky linked his way into the line of the Christ ... Meanwhile all I got was divorce for mine lol
😂😂😂ok
Hell yeah! He was saying boom chicka bow wow.
I noticed that they use the pamphlets more than the Bible. I still don’t understand the part that they say it’s not god’s will. However, I’ve been raised to think that sometimes bad situation happen to teach us humility, perseverance, and resilience or appreciation.
That’s because it is their idea of what the truth is which is why it is a cult. But yes we completely agree. All things compile to be our testimony. Life is so beautiful when you can see the light
OMG! You guys brought back a lot of memories with this video. Where do I start?…
My ex JW husband brought me into this cult…he would tell me stories about these “friends” who loved and cared for him, they would invite him to gathering etc…but after I was baptized and started going to his KH, honey those “ friends”were not feeling me. I finally told him they’re your friends not my friends…
When we decided to get married a year later the witches came out… a few of them went to the Elders and told them my ex was interested in them and led them on…. My ex had to go to the “ blue room” that’s what I called the room in the back, lol….and had to tell the Elders whatever lies he told them… we went on with our wedding plans and a week b4 our day, everyone cancelled their assignments. From the ushers to the best man….I should’ve known then it was a bad idea to marry this dude…SMDH…
The women in the hall take any small gesture from a man and think this is their husband to be…
My JW coworker would go to a grocery store a few mornings before work and the manager would greet her and hold a conversation, baby she would come to the office and tell me about their chat. Then I believe he asked her out to dinner. She came to work and told me she better go ahead and tell him about her religion and give him a magazine before it goes any further lol!!! I was thinking wow, that’s how you got to do it in this religion….i didn’t think it was that serious….then she started telling me she didn’t see him there anymore and that was the end of that… lol…
i always felt that the women seem so damn desperate at hall..some of them would grab-their husbands arm when this "worldly/I" would walk by… SMDH LOL!!!
Wow! You have got a story! And yeah it’s called the blue room too, probably cuz it gives you the blues 🤣🤣 but yes the women are VERY desperate, especially if they don’t get much attention. Then there’s the sisters who get ALL the attention and everyone is going after them. It’s a wild religion. That’s garbage that everyone decided to drop out of the wedding the week before. They have no regard for other peoples time or money. Smh
I forgot The Elder that was doing our wedding talk was trying to back out…. I didn’t find that out until after our wedding… it was sooo hot on the stage I almost passed out…the “brother” went on and on grr!….my father was 3 hours late… they wouldn’t let my worldly bFF in the room where I was and I had no idea…. The whole damn day was shit show…😂😂😂
You two are describing what happened to me when you were talking about getting married early. A disaster. I got out didnt care about being disfellowshipped.😊😊
At that point it is totally worth your happiness and peace of mind!
Thank you for the videó!
Great points!
I’m so glad to see young couples to take your time to give awareness of how this cult controls people.
I woke up at my 60s and I just hope young don’t fall in this cult. - the watchtower really know how to mold personalities and make many of JWs mentally and emotionally broken.
Greetings from Puerto Rico!
And as always I say:
DOWN WITH THE TOWERRR!!
We have to show there’s a life outside of this cult no matter what! And you are so right they are very calculated
Very good discussion. Keep up the good work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!!
Y'all got jokes😂😂😂😂 dude crying cause he tapped some 🐈🐈🐈
That’s really pathetic isn’t it 😂😂 crying in the rain and all
😂😅
Off topic. I LOVE you two! Thanks for posting and always being so positive energy good vibes! Love listening to you.
The topics are serious but I love the way you approach them.
We appreciate that so much! We try to be more lighthearted ❤️
This cracked me up as a kid. I laughed so hard at this one. Me and my cousins were crying after this one😅😅😅😅
I remember a lady relating her story of her marriage in the 1950s She had two young children although she hated having relations with her husband It got to the point where she couldn't take any more and she attempted to take her life. She was found and saved, received councelling and came to the realisation she was lesbian. She became a public speaker in Hyde Park London. Just imagine what the Elder's advice would be?...Go back and subject yourself to your husband, else you'll be delt with in Armageddon shortly 🤪
And those elders would have just told her to pray her feelings away. It’s never any real advice
@@AwakenTruths Ain't that the TRUTH 😇
Great Job Family Thanks
We had a guy in our congregation DF'd for a gambling addiction. He probably wasn't putting enough in the contribution box. 🤷
🤣🤣 hilarious
My guy said, "he got his first piece of booty and started crying in the ally" hahahahaha....daaaayum.
Fr though 😂 that man was devastated!
Side note, I love your hair like this Alexis!!
Awe thank you!
It feels so validating, that my situation was far more common in this religion than I thought. This video covered my story from A to Z. Wild. I did everything in my power to make my marriage within the "JW lying-azation" work but at the end of the day, I learned to make myself my strongest and truest investment cause that is who im with 24/7 till the end.
That last sentence 🙌🏽 and when you become that version of yourself you get to attract and choose your true equal because now you know who you are
Hi Awaken Truths. I absolutely 💯 ♥️ love yall's 📹videos & eventually will get your book as well. I remember that clip from the fake show about the prodigal son. Thankfully, I don't have to attend any of their boring conventions again! He should've been happy to enjoy, not be boring. See yall guy🏡🚘💎 &💄💅💍 doll on the next one, ✌️ peace, Miss Janine🆒️♏️⌚️🪐🌌👡🛍💅💄💋💯🧸
We appreciate your support always makes Janine smiley 💕 but we hear you!! So happy we don’t have to go anymore either lol
Not the young people ask! 😂 "who is asking this"
Fr though 😅
I wish you guys would address pop culture news.. diddy.. how dating etc has changed.. you 2 have a great chemistry and it would be great for a broader audience of your age demographic to see a young healthy happy couple ethnic couple.. maintaining a happy personal relationship and being professional 🙏🏾
Thanks we appreciate that! The way the TH-cam algorithm works is having a niche and making content for that specific niche. Ours is the ex JW community, so we stick to that 😅
I WAS DISSED LIKE 4XS....FIRST TIME I WAS 16.
You aren’t the only one! But 16 is just crazy
I ain't never felt like that after getting some.
Right 🤣🤣
Ha ha. I forgot about the video. I was active and I remember thinking that that video was too dramatic
It was ridiculous 🤣
I'm not a jw but this is interesting. Btw you are a beautiful couple. How long have you guys been married ?
Awe thank you so much! And we’ve been together since 2019 💕 wedding planned for next summer 😊
I forgot about them type of folks - 😂
The ridiculous ones 🤣
2:11 He is crying like he killed somebody!
I think he was to quick with whatever he did.
He did not take his time.
Fr 🤣 that’s the real reason he’s crying 🤣
My whole social life was destroyed growing up in this religion. To this day my social skills and customer service skills suck. I’m afraid of everyone . All this is so true. Dating life sucked, long time friendships…what is that? You’re so sheltered and everyone is so bad in the world they say that you never learn how to work and just be around anyone other than a jw. Even before I got baptized I never could fit in. Now that I’m out I still don’t fit in. Just set up for failure
Something that truly helps is digging deeper on why you don’t fit in and reclaiming that. Use it to your advantage vs seeing it as a weakness. There is nothing wrong with being different and many times what makes us different becomes our testimony on being able to fully embrace who we truly are. Sending you love!
I think I speak for most that unfortunately grew up in the cult when I say, Fuck the YPA book lol
Fr though 🤣🤣
Facts!
Love your background guitar. Who is that???❤
Can’t find anything that nice on iTunes!
You look good in that green! That is your color!
Thank you!
Dude had to have been a virgin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
30 seconds later she kicked him outside in the rain 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Have y'all ever watched The Handmaid's Tale? Cuz it really reminds me of the kh.
No! We’ve heard of it though we should check it out
@@AwakenTruths it's very culty and they use the Bible to justify their twisted ways.
When I was a Jehovah’s Witness I was always set aside so I had a lot of non-jws friends. I felt more awkward either the JWs. I guess I had a double life by default. That was a blessing since I had a lot of social skills that I would not have if I was accepted in th Kw clicks.
Good for you!! It obviously was a blessing. I was happy for my non jw friends too
Dude should have been singing that Lonely Island song "I Just Had Sex".
🤣🤣🤣
This is so aggravating to me; you keep missing the main point. This is across the board in religion; ALL Christian denominations say that fornication is a sin that leads to hell. I have never been a JW, yet I have no social skills to talk to women; I am lonely AF partly because of the teachings of Christianity!
You might have missed the part where we said all these religious teach it’s a “sin” but JW’s go overboard with the punishment and shunning. Did you not see that part???
@@AwakenTruths Most of the things that ex-JWs complain about that make this religion a cult are across the board in Christianity. I think many ex-JW channels try to confine their criticism to the JW religion because they have several Christian subscribers, and they don't want to lose them. Additionally, while shunning outwardly might not be practiced in every Christian denomination, mainstream Christianity believes that people will burn in hell forever for fornicating. JWs believe that they will just die at Armageddon, and that will be it; most Christians believe that people like us will burn forever. For this reason, I think Christianity is a cult and even worse, in a lot of ways, than JWs.
Oh Lexii! Jeven knows what you’re going to say just by your giggle and expression 😂Too cute❣️
This was spot on, getting married and then end up so unhappy because they are not compatible or they realize they are gay. Even after they’ve had children and tried so hard to make it work. That’s tragic! Not because they are gay or have children but because they didn’t have the opportunity to know who they honestly were before jumping into a marriage! They were sexually stunted by the cult! And that includes not loving your own self enough to make wise choices then settle with a bad choice because you don’t know how to pick your person, and figure, now you ‘have’ to get married! 🫣
Such a clusterF!!
You explained that perfectly! People get married for all the wrong reasons. They don’t really know themselves, let alone knowing a partner that doesn’t know themselves either. All yo end up unhappy
tbh losing my virginity did play a big role in leaving the cult. It made me realize how normal sexuality is and how unhealthy it is to repress it. Thanks for the vid!
This is very true!! And of course
He would get disfellowed wearing that Ankh necklace 😅
😂
Facts 😅
👋#1... Pound Town!😂
🤣🤣🤣
They are ALL apostates because the actual definition of apostate is one who rejects a religion or politics…
That’s a great point!
What was this dude crying about? She only asked him not to leave. All night they could have watched Netflix, ate popcorn, and drank soda pop. Having company over enjoying the evening is a sin? Make this make sense. It is the brothers or gb with their dirty minds implying a simple evening together involved rolling in the hay. That video is so unrealistic.
All those videos are so ridiculously dramatic 🤣🤣 that’s how they wanted us to act lol
1:20 Oooh, I see the apartment is at 7......69.... So maybe he's upset that he sinned in a certain way 7 times on that rainy night. I think that's what Stephen Lett is trying to tell us...
🤣🤣🤣 hilarious
Well they did it I thought it was mess up. So crazy
obviously he was repentant
I nearly choked on my drink @ 3:39!!!
🤣🤣 cuz why would he say it like that lol
The scriptures say, “If someone has wronged YOU” so how does this include the entire organization? It also says fornication is a sin against your own body, so again, where does the entire organization fit into this?
You guys are talking about all the problems I had growing up in this dumb religion. Some of them be straight up awkward and cringe. No cap.
We’ve all seen and experienced them it’s wild looking back
WHO CARES
I WOULD BE HAPPY IF A CHURCH BOOTED ME OUT.
I woulda thought he reacted how you should of you truly feel you disrespected God per the bible . Beyond jw. . Hell I cried when I did the first time at from guilty. Needless to say I got guilty several more time afterwards. Lol
Not enough guilt to stop the fun 😂😂
Yeah it got outta hand hahaha real fast ...
losing your virginity will make a grown man cry.
🤣🤣🤣
3:49 😂😂 you are funny
😂😂💪🏾
I couldn't believe how awkward women got if i dared to talk to them. Especially engaged or married women at an assembly. They just assumed i was into them.
They had issues lol
I see this video through new eyes when he came out of the apartment. The sex must’ve been a atrocious terrible head game. He was not happy with the end product. The real sin
🤣🤣🤣 this is hilarious
If that suited and boothed brother look different in normal clothes. She maybe lesbian he may be gay troubled teen times and if you confide in parents and marry them off not compatible. I heard these stories. And brothers on ministry complain that his wife is not fectionate.
That video is so cheesy😂😂
It’s cringey asf
😂😂😂😂
Come on stop teasing......Say...Say....Say!!!!
Maybe it was some bad booty 😂
Right 🤣🤣🤣
Oh m g. I remember when they said that about texting every day and you’re dating. I was like what!!! Even talking. Every day to the opposite sex. I have always had guy friends that I still text all the time and we have never dated. JW’s LIED, LIES, LIE.
They were doing too much with those rules i swear lmao
Hello! ❤ Somebody can help me with some words? I have now a new identity as a ex-jw but I have doubts about my life. I have doubts because this life is not paradise on earth and my parents will not be resurrected. I feel like my life was a lot of lies and I do not know if I want to do this anymore. I feel like I do deserve better. I have chronic pain and it will not go away like it was promised. I do not know if I should agree to life under this conditions! May be I will be happy in future but I am going to a lot.
There are some licensed professionals that can really help out with the next steps. Life has challenges for every one of us, but ending our lives is never beneficial. One day at a time, one problem at the time. Focusing on everything that’s out of our control all at once will drive us insane
Is this video for real? 😂😂😂 sensational acting skills they have 😂😂
You guys slap JW on everything to fit your niche but honestly all of your videos are an attack on religion in general. Your hearts have become hard I pray that Gods helps to soften your heart again and you remember that it’s never too late and your forgiven of you sin by the grace of Jesus Christ.
Not believing in man made religion has absolutely nothing to do with heart condition. That is your indoctrination that leads you to believe that. Peace be unto you. Sidenote it’s human trafficking and children abused in foster care. Sounds like “God” has more to be worried about than some TH-camrs talking 🫠
Your comments have been on multiple videos; if you disagree why do you keep watching? 😂
