When I was in, it ALWAYS bothered me that they never helped brothers and sister, let alone the community. I remember donations being asked of the congregation to help those experiencing difficulties. What bothers me even more is that they say they provide humanitarian aid. They do NO such thing.
I’ve been out for almost 30 years but no I’ve never known of the organization doing anything for the communities around any congregation. My ex husband’s grandfather was a Presbyterian minister and they ran food banks and had like 2nd hand clothes donations organized to get those things to people in the whole community that needed them. The Organization has never ever done that on any level.
This always bothered me!!! There was so much we could have done for people, not just in the organization, but outside. THAT would have given a better witness than knocking on doors. 40 years in, 5 years out, and it STILL bothers me.
Yes this! When I worked for an Anglican organisation they did so much charity and helped others in the community. JWs do nothing for the congregations let alone the community.
The local churches around me run the following things to help the community - Mother and Toddler Groups Pre - school Playgroup Messy Play Saturday for the kids Food Banks Jumble Sales Table Top Sales to help towards the church funds Book Clubs Choir practise The chance to learn to ring the church bells where appropriate Summer Fairs Bring and buy sales Sunday schools/ after school club Organised trips away/ camping trips Scouts, Brownies Soup kitchens for the homeless This is apart from all the wonderful celebrations that give people something to look forward to throughout the year. More recently churches are providing warm and safe spaces for those who want to find companionship along with a drink and a snack. Not bad eh? to say they’re all part of Satan’s wicked system. What do J dubs do ? NONE of this ……….They only help their own
It makes me disgusted when something catastrophic happens in an area and all they worry about is their brothers and sisters. What about everyone else affected? It’s gross and not Christ like.
My husband would pray before dinner and I used to do the same thing and not even think about it… but he would pray for all the brothers and sisters around the earth to have enough food or help with problems blah blah and one day I said wouldn’t it be better to pray for everyone that needs food??? Our young daughter looked at him and I think it hit him and he said yeah so now he prays for everyone on the earth not just JWs. It’s so crazy I used to pray like that and it was like I didn’t even realize what I was saying. It was so routine.
And yes, they also report if there is any damage to the Kingdom Hall. There could be hundreds of people injured , but thanks to Jehovah the Kingdom Hall is still standing! Smh
I'm acrually dying of cancer and it's STILL not enough to take me back. Even if I believed in any of their nonsense, (which I don't), I'd still rather die than live forever in JW Amish Paradise still trapped in their toxic high control waking hell.

The best to you. Can here also. Bones .& One other. Mine is won't back down - Tom Petty song & Stiones- Start Me Up. Just in same sense of while not fighting medically. I'd rather spend money on shopping. I agree on spend time on own terms! I am not a JW never was. My neighbors are, come to me for help, info. Yet they just won,'nt let go. They believe in reuniting. No they do not açept or help any humans other than the what are there 8 or ,9 cows laying up in Bethel ? It's,s all about those guys no one else. Yet they can not see it !!
❤ Hugs. It’s amazing at the worst you are still at your best being out of the organization. Thank you for sharing so openly. That quote was awesome. Guess imma have to steal it!!!!
It's so weird hearing JW contemporary music. I remember as a kid asking my mom why there wasn't music other than the kingdom melodies and her reply was that "Jehovah's organization is no part of the world". So much has changed yet their doomsday message has stayed the same. Thank you Wally for the laughs and for adding Sister Sweet Brown's comment that made me spit laugh....was not expecting that. Thank you Wally for all you do.🤣😂🤣😂👏👏👏👏👏✌💜
No Wally, not once in 20 years did I ever see the organization help anyone, only individuals. I hate that it was actually years after I left did I recognize the insanity of this.
25:20 so in other words the JW life she was living, all the praying that girl did, all the reading of the literature and the Bible, all the helping people out, and Jesus is basically telling her "you shouldnt have been afraid, you should know what to say." Man none of this makes any sense.
As a 5-year breast cancer survivor this video is beyond ridiculous and offensive. If I had that mindset I'd be dead. Giving up on living NOW to live in the "real life" in "paradise" instead of FIGHTING to live NOW - NOTHING about it is comforting. This video is fearmongering to the fullest extent. Oh, and I have NEVER EVER known WT leadership to DO or GIVE to any members in need. It's ALWAYS on the dime of other JWs. ALWAYS.
Never have I seen them (not enebro in their propaganda) see any GB member preach, do charity or send $$$ to affected JWs!! Nothing! Every $$ goes up to GB and nothing does down! 😡
There's been a tragedy here in Brazil these days, a huge flood that destroyed many cites. People from all over the country were sending clothes food and money, but a letter was sent to congregations for brothers not to help by any means, only send money to JW and they will decide how to help. Some PIMIs got shocked, but still obeyed of course. Then they started sharing a video of the JW helicopter delivering some food to a Kingdom Hall. They also appeared on the news, holding JW signs. The reporter asked how they were helping the population they answered they were waiting for their brothers to come so they could help. But he emphasized They were there to provide help for the brother only. In my head i imagined that scene from the animation Mulan, where Mushu is looking for Mulan in the avalanche and he puts back under the snow anyone that is not her.
Hey Wally. I was involved a tiny bit in some of the rebuilding work in Nepal after the massive earthquake there. I was put there anyway as a need greater, and all the people doing the work were locals or need greaters, so they were there anyway. The local people who lost their homes got built tin shacks. We were helping to build a beautiful kingdom hall though
It’s an American Cult, like so many others. You’re right, most of the world population has never even heard of it ! China, India, Russia , the moslem world, etc.etc. They are irrelevant, like Scientologists !
I think its skeevy that jws won't lift a finger to help with any type of cause, to the point of leaving the country that they live in to avoid conflict but they are the first in line to benefit from the advantages gained on the backs of those who stayed behind to fix things.
If you’ve never been a JW, here is a pretty good comparison. The elders are basically an HR department on godly steroids. NO ONE likes getting called into HR!!! That being said…I thrive under the extreme surveillance and tight HR at the casino I work in. I’m used to feeling like I’m being watched 24/7, and HR doesn’t scare me, because I went through FAR worse 😂🤣
I remember when I was a small child, an elderly sister in the congregation gave me a sheep pin. They saw me as a misbehaved mess because I couldn't sit still at meetings, drew in my notebook the entire time and quoute "talked back". When in reality I have ADHD and genuinely can't sit still for longer than a few minutes. Didn't help that everyone already hated me because of my parents situation. Been free of this cult for 6 years now but love checking in on how things are going lol
If that soldier’s father was a JW, but the son rejected the faith of his dad, wouldn’t papa have had to shun the son? Hardly the behavior of ‘good people’!
Are the Governing Body really as high as it gets within the organization? Are there people behind the scenes? Who else has thought this? It's just a theory. I'm starting to feel like this goes deeper.
27:17 we need to compare what Jah put in her heart to speak to authorities versus what was put in what’s-his-name’s at the Australian Royal Commission. Who was the brave JW?
Yes you are right! In the thirty years that I was a Jw, I never did anything to help anyone! And I never saw anyone in the congregation do anything to help anyone either!
I remember when we were “in”, one of our congregation families fell on hard times. The man had lost his job and he had a wife and three little kids. So we were “new” and without asking an Elder’s permission, we bought them lots of food. We never got thanked, just frowned at by the wife, never a thank-you or would you like a cup of tea? We thought it was just because JWs back in the 70’s weren’t allowed to thank a “creature” but only the “Creator”. Then an Elder finally said “he’s going to be ds’fd so it’s not appropriate to help. Please stop.” Then, wouldn’t they need resources more? No. They don’t work that way. So much for helping a family in need in WT.
I love your videos! A couple of responses to your questions - 1. tearing off labels?? There are standards about businesses showing brand names without permission, 2. diverse prayer endings? I was wondering if that was a silent suggestion to get new ideas from ChatGPT, 3. You didn’t suggest this but I notice that every couple of years they notice they’ve been ignoring Jesus so they then hyper focus on him for a couple of days lol
Sigh...the "highlights". So triggering lol. I had red hair with blonde highlights and the brothers felt it looked too "worldly" and I had to change it to be approved as a regular pioneer. So dumb. SMH
I wonder how much that painting cost, that Gerrit Losch refers to? Not to mention the other paintings of Governing Body members that are displayed at their HQ!
In one congregation I was in all the Elders were rich. They all had big houses and nice cars. Their wives always dressed rich too. No modesty at all. And most of the pioneers like myself were often struggling to afford a cheap old car etc. And they would go up on the platform and say we shouldn't be materialistic and trust in Jehovah while wearing £800 plus suits and flashes Rolexs.....
The sponge bob and the say your prayer to Jesus bldbldddbabldedddbed amen was hilarious! How can you keep all of these perfectly apropos clips in your brain and recall them?
Dear Wally, the missiles with the english words on them are not as far off as you think. The soldier is a German, he has a very German name "Diether" and the flag in his office at 33:30 is the federal flag of Germany. So these might be NATO missiles.
I never felt protected I always felt like they were looking for a reason to punish they are such manipulators, just look at the speaker you can tell Maya's voice and what are you saying he's being manipulative
The fact that Gerritt Lösch states: "Ve look at zis picture and try to be like zee shepherd" plainly shows, they do not always end up acting like that shepherd.
I went to houston to help after a storm in 2001. I paid my way out there. They fixed a bunch of the homes of local JWs, but inwas never clear if they pressured them to give WT their insurance settlements or not. It was only for home owners too. I don't think anything was done for renters who lost anything though
Funny when I was being teased relentlessly in school for being a witness Jehovah never answered my prayers to make it stop or gave me the words to say either.
They have 2 elderly women headéd to their conventíon, staying in WT approved hotels , starting at $140 per night, some driving back & forth poluting the earth as they go on about how WT is daving by building green places. Then the elderly have no grocery money or food stamps left as working caring for a family member to earn part of needed cash for hotel & just enough gas. I was shocked to hear the exact gas figured out by the elders !!! God forbid they stop some place else ! The amout of control over this group is beyond
29:22 Wally, there are alot of POMI's out there. I previously was one of these people that still thinks JWs are harmless. Dur to my childhood indoctrination I erroneously believed that I was the problem. So I am saying there are alot more than 1000 ppl who still think watchtower is innocent 😢
To say that the elders care for us physically is one of the most laughable things I have heard from them. Oh, and Ronald strikes me as the ultimate ass kisser.
I love how the security guy was like “Did you say Gods kingdom? My father was one of you!”…As if he’d think that must mean she is a JW?? Get real. They really believe they’re the only ones with the truth. 😭😂
True: JW volunteers pay their way to help. I have that experience: heard JWs taking sabbatical or taking from Vacations time from job- nothing from Watchtower. Thanks Wally for your time!
I remember how two elders wanted to talk to me but not at KH but on parking lot in my car where it was dark 🤨🧐 They were concerned about my spirituality, ohh that's so sweet 🎂 That's after my husband left after Royal Comm. No Jws don't help anybody but themselves 😏
Every congregations elders have been told that the money collected can't be used to help anyone in serious difficulties But if someone goes to the salvation army, catholic charity, They will give food and money to help . And they want us to believe that they are the true religion? What a bunch of hypocrites
That music video made me nauseous. Some of these witnesses have actual talent and they are wasting their only life they have in this cult. What a damn shame!
Yes brother i know JW’s who have been traveling cross country and their car broke down. They called the closest Kingdom Hall for help and they helped them.
Never 👀 seen 1 jw helped by GB I was born in 3rd generation and my parents were young in WW2...both grandma's needed help. My granpa who were never a jw helped them... I was born late 60ties and left just after my blackmailed baptism in 1985. NEVER HEARD OF OR SEEN HELP FROM GB.
Can I just add as the guy who wrote original UN Scandal story for The Guardian newspaper in London back in October 2001 that your videos always amuse me, even more so whilst smoking a spliff and taking some magic mushrooms. Grins.
Great video, and im only part way through! I hate when jws thank god for everything good thats happened to them, and the devil has his hand in for anything bad. No, it was your friend Pam that helped you, No it was your lawyer that helped you... they Love taking the help of others and making it like it was god that propelled the judge to side with you... taking the power of the law of attraction, the natural human reaction to helping someone with a need... somehow, it has been gods will, not the natural good will of others. Also, (now that ive watched the rest) Think of all the families they brought in after WW2 (Mine included) telling people they could see their dead loved ones again, millions today will never die! After going through the Holocaust! They knocked on my Grandparent's door in Rotterdam, and it was Sweet Music to their ears. How unconscionable, the dispicable lie they propagate. Infuriating to me.

When the question : " Do you see yourself..." and all of a sudden, Pops in Wally's head, him bleating, I was ROTF LMFAO 😅😂😂 omg. Ypu hot me real hood this time, WALLY!! I just LOVE your antics! ❤❤❤
I was Witness for about 12 yrs and left over15 yrs now. Never was disfellowshipped or disassociated. I got up and left...it was too fake for me. Yes, it was through JWs that I learned about Jehovah God and Jesus and I am thankful for that part. But the control part, I could not be a part of--the same reason I could not be military. I can think for myself and I know BS when I hear it and will tell you that it is BS. Telling me that I can only or rather that I should not read this or that --NOPE. Because I Never heeded that admonition, I realized that all of what they were saying was not truth. What is funny is, is it is they are the ones who taught me discernment and to "study for myself". Never made sense to tell me to only read their stuff and that the NWT was a better version. Because I would do a deep dive into scriptures using various concordances, the Internet, etc is how I found that all I was being taught was actually not the WORD OF GOD, but rather the WORD OF MEN...doctrines of men...the very thing that JWs accuse "worldly" religions of. And here is he kicker, absolutely no one was ever going to dictate to me who I can and can't "associate" with. And IF someone that I knew had been disfellowshipped, you weren't going to make me shun them. Hell, you are mad at them not me. It is narcissism at it worst. My sister who is still a witness always ask me why I left and I never told her because I know she wouldn't get it as her mind isn't as free thinking and strong as mine. She only know that I decided, while sitting in a Sunday Watchtower meeting to leave. I'd heard enough of the male-dominated woman bashing bullshit. I still believe in Jehovah God and His Son Jesus and I don''t have to worship and praise inside a Kingdom Hall or in a church or in a synagogue. Why? because God is omnipresent and omniscient. If I ever find a place where Christians gather and are taught the UNADULTERATED word of God without the fringes and personal opinions and signifying and unholy bullshit added, that is an earthly gathering/meeting/congregation that I will attend. Churches now are too secular with flashing light and smoke and mirrors and homosexuality and women dressed like strumpets, men dressed in too tight pants -- so I can't tell what they are, so that is a no too. So for now, I read and keep learning and when I pray it is to my Father in Heaven through His Son Jesus the Christ.
Watchtower never spends any money on anything or anyone unless it includes promoting themselves and their silliness. “Their silliness” which now we laugh about but at the same time it is NOT funny….how “damaged” most of are when we actually are able to leave Watchtower. Unbleeping -believable. 🤔🇨🇺🇺🇸
I can’t believe anyone can watch these video and want to follow them…it’s shocking. I’m thankful for those of you that left this situation… I keep hearing that JWs don’t help others. What excuse do they have for not helping others? The Bible has a lot of instructions to help others in very practical ways. Feeding, clothing, housing, loaning money of need be etc…it’s all there. What’s their excuse for doing absolutely zero service??
Meanwhile, the organization doesn't even want YOU to seek help from these religious institutions that DO help the community because they are BABYLON yhe great, and by accepting their help, we are "IN HER." When I uses to get food from a local church, my mom would ask me why am I doing that knowing it's BABYLON. I scuffed and said "Well, the organization doesn't offer ANY type of help, so where am I supposed to get help? Also, doesn't Jehovah allow "CESAR" to exist, for OUR own benefit?" She didn't know what to say. Exactly my point.
@JWThought I’m so tired of giving them that power I decided Next time they want to talk to me, I’ll just tell him no thanks, I’m not interested in being interrogated in your kangaroo court for no reason. If you don’t want to Remove restrictions, AKA “privileges” (They are so not privileges ha ha ) Just because I don’t want to do door-to-door ministry, then who cares. Not my problem anymore, buddy. They tried threatening me saying well when you move we won’t be able to say you’re in good standing and I think I’m going to tell them who cares what men think. What do you guys have? I live a simple life. I keep to myself. I do nothing wrong. That’s all I need to do, buddy.
Hahaha!!! Don’t be fussy or picky or selective in your “eating” habits. Swallow down whatever crap we give you, and enjoy it. Humbly and OBEDIENTLY FOLLOW these MEN. Oh and… here, hop in this train😶, (Auschwitz anyone), just sayin This is crazy
When I was in, it ALWAYS bothered me that they never helped brothers and sister, let alone the community. I remember donations being asked of the congregation to help those experiencing difficulties. What bothers me even more is that they say they provide humanitarian aid. They do NO such thing.

Come on give them credit! They gave me such a guilty conscience that I became their plumber free of charge!
The local churches around me run the following things to help the community -
Mother and Toddler Groups
Pre - school Playgroup
Messy Play Saturday for the kids
Food Banks
Jumble Sales
Table Top Sales to help towards
the church funds
Book Clubs
Choir practise
The chance to learn to ring the church bells where appropriate
Summer Fairs
Bring and buy sales
Sunday schools/ after school club
Organised trips away/ camping trips
Scouts, Brownies
Soup kitchens for the homeless
This is apart from all the wonderful celebrations that give people something to look forward to throughout the year.
More recently churches are providing warm and safe spaces for those who want to find companionship along with a drink and a snack.

"It's our May 2024 update! We recommend that you consume our materials!"
"Thanks, JW! This is the same recommendation as last time!"

So we were “new” and without asking an Elder’s permission, we bought them lots of food. We never got thanked, just frowned at by the wife, never a thank-you or would you like a cup of tea? We thought it was just because JWs back in the 70’s weren’t allowed to thank a “creature” but only the “Creator”. Then an Elder finally said “he’s going to be ds’fd so it’s not appropriate to help. Please stop.” Then, wouldn’t they need resources more? No. They don’t work that way. So much for helping a family in need in WT.
@christinesotelo7655 OMG I absolutely hate that cult. 😡
@@christinesotelo7655That's insanity 😮😮😮
I love your videos! A couple of responses to your questions - 1. tearing off labels?? There are standards about businesses showing brand names without permission, 2. diverse prayer endings? I was wondering if that was a silent suggestion to get new ideas from ChatGPT, 3. You didn’t suggest this but I notice that every couple of years they notice they’ve been ignoring Jesus so they then hyper focus on him for a couple of days lol
good commentary
my spiritual nourishment comes in at 80%proof
Amen to that brother
Brilliant..just brilliant!!!
Sigh...the "highlights". So triggering lol. I had red hair with blonde highlights and the brothers felt it looked too "worldly" and I had to change it to be approved as a regular pioneer. So dumb. SMH
When the girl said, "though I walk in the valley of deep shadow," did "Gangsta's paradise" pop into anyone else's head or is it just me?
I wonder how much that painting cost, that Gerrit Losch refers to? Not to mention the other paintings of Governing Body members that are displayed at their HQ!
Glad to hear you change your shirt every month
In one congregation I was in all the Elders were rich. They all had big houses and nice cars. Their wives always dressed rich too. No modesty at all. And most of the pioneers like myself were often struggling to afford a cheap old car etc. And they would go up on the platform and say we shouldn't be materialistic and trust in Jehovah while wearing £800 plus suits and flashes Rolexs.....
Yeah I've never seen them do anything
Hi Wally good to see you again! 🙋♀️
It's too bad they butcher and change God's Word.😪
The sponge bob and the say your prayer to Jesus bldbldddbabldedddbed amen was hilarious!
How can you keep all of these perfectly apropos clips in your brain and recall them?
Dear Wally, the missiles with the english words on them are not as far off as you think. The soldier is a German, he has a very German name "Diether" and the flag in his office at 33:30 is the federal flag of Germany. So these might be NATO missiles.
I never felt protected I always felt like they were looking for a reason to punish they are such manipulators, just look at the speaker you can tell Maya's voice and what are you saying he's being manipulative
I felt the same way 😢😮
The fact that Gerritt Lösch states: "Ve look at zis picture and try to be like zee shepherd" plainly shows, they do not always end up acting like that shepherd.
I usually wear knee boots for jw talks but I need to upgrade to waiters now
Sheep always fearful of the wolf only to be eaten by the Shepard...
I went to houston to help after a storm in 2001. I paid my way out there. They fixed a bunch of the homes of local JWs, but inwas never clear if they pressured them to give WT their insurance settlements or not. It was only for home owners too. I don't think anything was done for renters who lost anything though
I went to Katrina and they most definitely take the insurance money. So factoring in the free labor Watchtower MAKES MONEY on disaster relief
@@WakeingUp yeah that more or less tracks. Then they get to keep their non-profit status and pay no taxes on any of it. Churches make me sick
Funny when I was being teased relentlessly in school for being a witness Jehovah never answered my prayers to make it stop or gave me the words to say either.
Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd 🎄❤️✝️
They have 2 elderly women headéd to their conventíon, staying in WT approved hotels , starting at $140 per night, some driving back & forth poluting the earth as they go on about how WT is daving by building green places. Then the elderly have no grocery money or food stamps left as working caring for a family member to earn part of needed cash for hotel & just enough gas. I was shocked to hear the exact gas figured out by the elders !!! God forbid they stop some place else ! The amout of control over this group is beyond
Watchtower is DANGEROUS
We forgive you watchtower shepherds. Just leave us the hell alone now.
To forgive, there has to be a repentant on the other side. These men will never feel remorse.
@@jrojala I’m speaking for my family
29:22 Wally, there are alot of POMI's out there. I previously was one of these people that still thinks JWs are harmless. Dur to my childhood indoctrination I erroneously believed that I was the problem. So I am saying there are alot more than 1000 ppl who still think watchtower is innocent 😢
To say that the elders care for us physically is one of the most laughable things I have heard from them. Oh, and Ronald strikes me as the ultimate ass kisser.
Why do they speak so robotically this fakeness has always been my problem speak normally
elders are the shepherds dogs.
I love how the security guy was like “Did you say Gods kingdom? My father was one of you!”…As if he’d think that must mean she is a JW?? Get real. They really believe they’re the only ones with the truth. 😭😂
True: JW volunteers pay their way to help. I have that experience: heard JWs taking sabbatical or taking from
Vacations time from job- nothing from Watchtower.
Thanks Wally for your time!
5:03 not very bright policemen! Elders would often ask me how to pronounce words before they read from the platform! 😮
35:54 beach front property in Idaho would be a better analogy but, point made successfully! 😊
I try to use my figurative rod as often as possible 😂
I remember how two elders wanted to talk to me but not at KH but on parking lot in my car where it was dark 🤨🧐 They were concerned about my spirituality, ohh that's so sweet 🎂 That's after my husband left after Royal Comm.
No Jws don't help anybody but themselves 😏
Every congregations elders have been told that the money collected can't be used to help anyone in serious difficulties
But if someone goes to the salvation army, catholic charity,
They will give food and money to help .
And they want us to believe that they are the true religion?
What a bunch of hypocrites
Never saw jws help anyone “wordly” unless they were studying with the person and it was pulling teeth to get jws to even help other jws.
That music video made me nauseous. Some of these witnesses have actual talent and they are wasting their only life they have in this cult. What a damn shame!
I don’t remember my parents ever getting the Bible out when I was having problems 😂 and my dad was an elder .
Lucky you, it was my moms go to. So annoying! Like be relatable for once.
Yes brother i know JW’s who have been traveling cross country and their car broke down. They called the closest Kingdom Hall for help and they helped them.
Never 👀 seen 1 jw helped by GB I was born in 3rd generation and my parents were young in WW2...both grandma's needed help. My granpa who were never a jw helped them... I was born late 60ties and left just after my blackmailed baptism in 1985. NEVER HEARD OF OR SEEN HELP FROM GB.
The sheep would jump off a cliff on command. The problem is most of my family are still sheep.
Can I just add as the guy who wrote original UN Scandal story for The Guardian newspaper in London back in October 2001 that your videos always amuse me, even more so whilst smoking a spliff and taking some magic mushrooms.
Grins.
Great video, and im only part way through! I hate when jws thank god for everything good thats happened to them, and the devil has his hand in for anything bad. No, it was your friend Pam that helped you, No it was your lawyer that helped you... they Love taking the help of others and making it like it was god that propelled the judge to side with you... taking the power of the law of attraction, the natural human reaction to helping someone with a need... somehow, it has been gods will, not the natural good will of others. Also, (now that ive watched the rest) Think of all the families they brought in after WW2 (Mine included) telling people they could see their dead loved ones again, millions today will never die! After going through the Holocaust! They knocked on my Grandparent's door in Rotterdam, and it was Sweet Music to their ears. How unconscionable, the dispicable lie they propagate. Infuriating to me.
Bè più cose sono dette direttamente dalla Bibbia📖... e più cose sono vere!!
Loro i tdg hanno la colpa di 🤑💸💵💴💶💰💳 averne fatto uno scopo al loro benessere individuale; non sono comunque stati i tdg a *scrivere la Bibbia📖!!*
It looks to me that they're looking at exploiting the controlling power of the 'Trauma Bond'.
A “valley of deep shadow” in the ‘spiritual paradise’? Say it isn’t so.
Not one bit of advice from 1957 until now was beneficial, with the exception of refusing military service.
Man the acting in that video is mind blowing. That even the biggest directors say " man i really should start hiring these JW for my next big movie"
😂😂😂😂😂
When the question : " Do you see yourself..." and all of a sudden, Pops in Wally's head, him bleating, I was ROTF LMFAO 😅😂😂 omg. Ypu hot me real hood this time, WALLY!! I just LOVE your antics! ❤❤❤
does the governing body ever care or donate back to publishers in need of support for a short while
I've never seen the jw organisation do anything to help anyone
I was Witness for about 12 yrs and left over15 yrs now. Never was disfellowshipped or disassociated. I got up and left...it was too fake for me. Yes, it was through JWs that I learned about Jehovah God and Jesus and I am thankful for that part. But the control part, I could not be a part of--the same reason I could not be military. I can think for myself and I know BS when I hear it and will tell you that it is BS. Telling me that I can only or rather that I should not read this or that --NOPE. Because I Never heeded that admonition, I realized that all of what they were saying was not truth. What is funny is, is it is they are the ones who taught me discernment and to "study for myself". Never made sense to tell me to only read their stuff and that the NWT was a better version. Because I would do a deep dive into scriptures using various concordances, the Internet, etc is how I found that all I was being taught was actually not the WORD OF GOD, but rather the WORD OF MEN...doctrines of men...the very thing that JWs accuse "worldly" religions of. And here is he kicker, absolutely no one was ever going to dictate to me who I can and can't "associate" with. And IF someone that I knew had been disfellowshipped, you weren't going to make me shun them. Hell, you are mad at them not me. It is narcissism at it worst. My sister who is still a witness always ask me why I left and I never told her because I know she wouldn't get it as her mind isn't as free thinking and strong as mine. She only know that I decided, while sitting in a Sunday Watchtower meeting to leave. I'd heard enough of the male-dominated woman bashing bullshit. I still believe in Jehovah God and His Son Jesus and I don''t have to worship and praise inside a Kingdom Hall or in a church or in a synagogue. Why? because God is omnipresent and omniscient. If I ever find a place where Christians gather and are taught the UNADULTERATED word of God without the fringes and personal opinions and signifying and unholy bullshit added, that is an earthly gathering/meeting/congregation that I will attend. Churches now are too secular with flashing light and smoke and mirrors and homosexuality and women dressed like strumpets, men dressed in too tight pants -- so I can't tell what they are, so that is a no too. So for now, I read and keep learning and when I pray it is to my Father in Heaven through His Son Jesus the Christ.
don't know why what I wrote was stricken through. I meant every word that was written and I didn't delete or strike through any of it.
Watchtower never spends any money on anything or anyone unless it includes promoting themselves and their silliness. “Their silliness” which now we laugh about but at the same time it is NOT funny….how “damaged” most of are when we actually are able to leave Watchtower. Unbleeping -believable.
🤔🇨🇺🇺🇸
I can’t believe anyone can watch these video and want to follow them…it’s shocking. I’m thankful for those of you that left this situation…
I keep hearing that JWs don’t help others. What excuse do they have for not helping others? The Bible has a lot of instructions to help others in very practical ways. Feeding, clothing, housing, loaning money of need be etc…it’s all there. What’s their excuse for doing absolutely zero service??
Meanwhile, the organization doesn't even want YOU to seek help from these religious institutions that DO help the community because they are BABYLON yhe great, and by accepting their help, we are "IN HER." When I uses to get food from a local church, my mom would ask me why am I doing that knowing it's BABYLON. I scuffed and said "Well, the organization doesn't offer ANY type of help, so where am I supposed to get help? Also, doesn't Jehovah allow "CESAR" to exist, for OUR own benefit?" She didn't know what to say. Exactly my point.
If you going to make a joke, give us time to recoup before going on to the next segment😂😂😂
"Your rod and your staff reassure me"
When I was PIMI, I always had a gut feeling about the GB.. for thr 15 years I was PIMi thst feeling stayed
faithful slave sells all the land and the lentils and tells everyone to live off of onions alone
@JWThought I’m so tired of giving them that power I decided Next time they want to talk to me, I’ll just tell him no thanks, I’m not interested in being interrogated in your kangaroo court for no reason. If you don’t want to Remove restrictions, AKA “privileges” (They are so not privileges ha ha ) Just because I don’t want to do door-to-door ministry, then who cares. Not my problem anymore, buddy.
They tried threatening me saying well when you move we won’t be able to say you’re in good standing and I think I’m going to tell them who cares what men think. What do you guys have? I live a simple life. I keep to myself. I do nothing wrong. That’s all I need to do, buddy.
Hahaha!!! Don’t be fussy or picky or selective in your “eating” habits. Swallow down whatever crap we give you, and enjoy it.
Humbly and OBEDIENTLY FOLLOW these MEN.
Oh and… here, hop in this train😶, (Auschwitz anyone), just sayin
This is crazy
I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t be offended by that. What an insult to their intelligence. 🤦🏾♀️
Don’t ask questions, just continue ‘ shoveling the coal’ ( while the boat heads for Niagara Falls)
