I have been amazed at how irony impaired some people can be. I recall my mother telling me I had been fooled into thinking that I was thinking for myself, and I should be listening to the elders from the Kingdom Hall instead, like she did.
I remember my wife telling me about how the Mormon religion is a cult and is based on blind faith. Yet, it didn't remind her of anything in particular. 🤨
Good God! Not thinking for yourself!!!! I was told by my very close(long time friends) elders I asked too many questions😮…that was my last meeting!!!! 🤦🏼♀️
Once in field service when I was waking up, I told a householder who was grilling me that technically all the material we distribute can be considered propaganda. The elder I was with counseled me right at the door and took over the call. The householder kept talking passed the elder and trying to talk to me. I was like... my work here is done. Also kudos to your costume designer as he keeps you well dressed and looking great 😁.
@@thehigherevolutionary Good for you! When I was "in" back in the 1980s I remember working with my mentoring elder (who was an old-school Bethelite and professed to be of the anointed) and mentioning that our literature was like "high quality printed propaganda" and he actually agreed! He didn't take it as a critical remark and at that time I didn't mean it to be.
As for theories, I'm speechless. I'm not sure how they could have the audacity. Thanks for sharing and breaking this stuff apart for us. Honestly, I'm surprised you're not scripted because you are so eloquent!
You know, even as a kid I never agreed with this "shunning" business and disfellowshipping someone and not having their family members talk to them is just pure EVIL.
Watchtower can never claim ignorance in what they are doing. They know they misquote, use appeals to emotion, and gaslight their followers. I actually remember my high school English teacher talking about propaganda and showing us all propaganda that we agreed with. When he asked if we felt this was propaganda all of us said no. He then pointed out that it’s not the message that makes it propaganda, it’s the way the information is presented. It made my cognitive dissonance hurt a little bit lol 😵💫
My theory is they believe that the majority of thier followers are so fully deluded that they won't see the irony. And for the sad truths is that for the most part, they won't.
My gosh! I can't get thru this video! This is shocking and the most unchristian thing I have ever heard full of hatred and fear. I hope this article pushes PIMOs and any JWs with common sense out of the org for good.
I don’t think that you fully understand the power of indoctrination by a cult, or any high control group on its members…easy to see for those who have left or were never in, for others trapped into this cult, or other groups, it’s not obvious!
Is it wrong that my favorite part of the videos from Wally are the wicked stunts? Keep this great content coming my dude. Also, the watchtower is as disgusting, bloated, and mislead as Tony Morris is. One only has to look to the leaders of any organization to see whether or not they are being lied to. I mean c'mon, Stephen Lett, need I even say more?
I know you've heard this many times before but I love your videos! How you do the Stephen Lett impersonation skits are just beyond me! They have me in stitches!
Incredible, this just may be The pristine article to send to some of our JW relatives, along with the accompanying quotes that show that they have tried, convicted and hung themselves with their own literature! The best part, “apostate ideas” don’t even need to enter the discussion! “Here’s a little exercise for you. Read this article from the faithful slave about what constitutes propaganda, and compare it to the following quotes from other watchtower literature, and ask yourself if you may be in a cult.”
One of the most brutal revelations when leaving the Borg was that the world can be cruel and condemnatory to LGBT, and not at all accepting as the Watchtower likes to tell.
I was out when this article came out, and years before I had stopped reading their stuff. The reason this article is so crazy is because their arrogance is so blatant. We all know this is what they do, but the fact that they outright admit it, and lay it out, is shocking.
What’s even more shocking (disturbing) is that the millions of rank-and -file jws (aka publishers) don’t recognize the message for what it IS, even after it’s been exposed…
Propaganda, sounds very much what the watchtower is using, I love how their own literature contradicts itself. Watchtower the spreader of False Prophecy and Lies Lies Lies !
This is super fascinating! Thank you for taking the time to find contradictions/hypocrisy in every statement and explaining it. This is a useful skill to be able to apply to any article, but particularly ones as manipulative as these.
Well done on your potting! That was worth the wait! Loved the way Zeezee was sat waiting for the baubles. Well, what can I say. This was a great video. I am nicely at the stage where you can take in the stuff they spout out, and literally turn it back onto them. The wording on some of those passages was like self-gaslighting. And I'm so sorry to be saying this, but I have just had another thought - for ages, and my JW friend once said this to me, but there is a sense of persecution and how it shouldn't surprise those in the Org. Well, the thought I just had, when you look at the wording, the self incrimination, the guilt trips self imposed - then there is also a sense of self-persecution - never doing enough, never doing as good as you either hoped or people hoped from you. This is self-gaslighting. And then the idea of little ones not surviving Armageddon - when that got mentioned, you know what came to mind? Those artists interpretations of what Armageddon will look like, full of reds, blacks, tanks, skies full of black jet streams probably from some manmade thing, and people running, again in reds, oranges, browns, blacks - what would a JW child make of those two scenarios put together? I've seen loads of ex JWs being very worried, PTSD suffering and depression with some basis on those artistic impressions. And you couple that with what was in the passage about youngsters not surviving Armageddon, separated from "loving" parents who have fed and clothed them all this time. What on earth is going through those childrens' minds? I am shocked and flabbergasted. I needed to watch you score your cup-baskets at the end Wally, I really did. Thank you very much for doing that out-tro, I really am grateful because right now, I am feeling very vulnerable, upset and raw and I wasn't even in the religion like so many of you very strong and great people were and are. My mega love goes out to you all.
I'm one of the 5 that watched till the end 🙂 nice shot, by the way. I absolutely love your videos. I'm 40 and was born in and recently left. You make so many great points! Love your cat, too. Thank you.
Really excellent video, Wally! Thanks! My guess would be that they are so deluded that they can truly not see the irony that they are themselves producing nothing but propaganda. In their world, critical thinking can and should be applied to everything except any information published by God aka the Watchtower Society.
Thanks for all your hard work putting these together Wally. I could see multiple scenarios playing out, but I think there is a possible combination of several. There may indeed be a person on the writing committee that is specifically using these tactics to trim off those already questioning, simultaneously galvanizing those who are already so willing to gulp down the message without question. Nobody could speak to their motivation, but just like any corporate body there are multiple personalities and (lack of) skill sets at play. Those approving these articles for publishing are either deluded as the avg. PIMI and just go along with whatever is presented, or may indeed see this is a strategic, albeit risky play. Either way, I'm sure this article will be trotted out as "evidence" the FADS isn't trying to hide anything or manipulate anyone. "we told you, we've always encouraged you to find it for yourself, we're the only ones you can trust". It is just another behavior abusers are compelled to display.
I remember reading that article and at the same time remember they had already had their members get "to-go" bags" They told them what to put in them and sit them near their door so when they got a call or text to go where they say they should grab their "to go" bags and go immediately. Obey. The watchtower is going to save them. Haha It immediately made me think of the Jones followers who all ended up drinking the kool-aid.
Babs, do read, galations, cha, 2v4, eye opening, satan is.operating in the organisation yes,,, cute that devil.is,,, not jokeing,.satan is.out to kill us,
Wally, another great video!!! But for the signs and symbols in my opinion they are the "masters" at this because their signs and symbols aren't typical. What they have so cleverly done is turn their pictorials into literal signs and symbols. Example, a group of people grinning from ear to ear in a park, well that's "Paradise" a few people standing on the street with the watchtower in hand, that's "obedience." a man with a beard "Beware! Worldly! Dangerous!" Oh yes and the one of people being destroyed "Non Jehovah's Witnesses."
@@exjehovahswitness that's ok no criticism at all. I love your heart in every video. I'm an artist so this is something so obvious to me. The mind control on every level especially on the toddlers with not just Caleb and Sofia but all of their propaganda films. When I tried to get my daughter to understand how this is such a danger to my grandson's mind she cut me off. I haven't seen my grandson for about three years now. These GB people know exactly what they're doing and it's evil.
@17:45 bruuh Watchtower is savage af. They said "respectability" ......... ... being a 3rd generation witness, I can see where my grandmother got her views on homosexuality from.. sheesh!!!
It's too funny when the WTS claims that "bible chronology indicates 607 BCE" as the year of the destruction of the temple. Correct me if I'm wrong (seriously!), but the way the WTS comes up with 607 BCE is by working backwards from 539 BCE, the year in which Babylon was conquered by Cyrus the Great. Now, how do we know that Babylon fell in 539 BCE? Because secular historians established that date!! And the WTS has no problem accepting their scholarship for this date. But when those same secular historians use the same sources and techniques to establish that the temple was destroyed in 587 BCE, then the WTS just brushes them aside. It's ludicrous.
Outstanding work Wally. It's amazing to me how easy it is to see how full of crap this religion is. My mom does a study with some poor unsuspecting lady on Fridays, I overhear it sometimes and this lady sounds so excited about what she's learning. Last night they were talking about headship and the great tribulation... Mom is level headed and the most reasonable, wonderful person in the world, but jw is all she's known for 60 years. If I were to show her your video she'd just smile and say "well everyone has their opinion." But I don't get into it with her. Last meeting I overheard her attending was about Deborah and how she helped the Israelites kill 10000 enemies so what a fine example she is for Christian women today. She poisoned the king and when he fell asleep some dude drive a stake through his temples. I couldn't help myself and said "mom when I fall asleep tonight don't drive a stake through my head." She laughed and said "I'm not a prophetess!" All I know is it's a good thing no elder has tried to tell her not to "associate" with me, he'd be in big trouble.
She sounds sweet my mom passed away 2 weeks ago 😢 and was the sweetest person. I'm glad I left her alone and just loved her all the same. She was in for 60 years but always talked to me.
Great video Wally bit I think option 3 is the answer. They are not dumb, they know what they are doing, they use so many of the techniques for manipulation of the members. Just follow the GB, whatever we say is true, even if it may not seem to make sense. I think they have actually said that.
yeah they did say that, I quoted that article in fact. Yeah I keep going back and forth in my brain on the motivation but I guess we will never know for sure
So they claim that the only thing you can rely on for truth is the bible. Yet, they also claim that the bible is so complicated that an ordinary person cannot properly understand what it means without having someone (the WTS!) explain it to them. Hmm... so is it really the bible one should view as ultimate authority, or is it the WTS? I wonder...
Oh my god you guys…I JUST remembered…when I was PIMO, I was doing a lot of performing and album release stuff, blah blah blah (yeah, they were LOVING that!!). They pulled me into the back room one morning after meeting for service, and they were pressuring me to give the addresses of all the homosexuals in the area. I refused. They said ‘won’t you feel terrible if a young man goes to the door of one these homosexuals, and he is VICTIMIZED?!’ Oh lort…pretty sure that’s now how it works, my dudes 🤦🏼♀️ My refusal to comply with them got me in some hot water, but I did NOT care. These were my friends, I wasn’t going to sell them out to a bunch of homophobes. Wow. I’d definitely blocked THAT little gem out 🤦🏼♀️
I personally miss when magazines were handed out...I really don't like the online stuff...I enjoy sitting down with something in a private manner and read it...but I guess that they consider the internet progress...
Agreed. Just take it as a sign of their continual decline in financial support. Didn't they used to say that the "voluntary contributions" covering the cost of printing was evidence of God's support and if it ever went away that would be a sign that they no longer had it, or something like that?
Great info, thanks so much. Obviously they are running scared. People are starting to Wake Up, the dominos are starting to fall and they are fighting for their survival. Which mean channels llike this one are accomplishing the goal. Hooray!!!
Well they are basically describing themselves, but I am pretty sure that they are so deluded that they will not see it that way, it will be just another fine article and on-time spiritual food.
Saul Alinsky’s rules for propaganda: 1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” 2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” 3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” 4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” 5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” 6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” 7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” 8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” 9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” 10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” 11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” 12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” 13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
I think they just produce the most ridiculous, obvious articles and laugh as all the many genuine witnesses study and answer this garbage. How far can we push these poor brainwashed followers now??
I'm not sure if it's this article or another one. But I recall reading an article on propaganda that had a sidebar asking if Jehovah's Witnesses use propaganda. And the sidebar basically sidestepped answering the question by giving a fallacious answer. It said something to the effect that Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral and don't engage in subversive political activities. Essentially, they implicitly insinuated that propaganda is necessarily a political tool and since JWs are politically neutral they therefore cannot be guilty of using propaganda. That was their dishonest, fallacious way of "answering" that question.
@@exjehovahswitness This tactic of dishonestly changing the definition of terms is found repeatedly in Watchtower literature. Another example is an article a few years ago that asked if God is vengeful. If you look at the dictionary definition of the word and you look at what the Bible says about God the answer is obvious: yes. I mean, there is even a Psalm which describes Yahweh as a "God of acts of vengeance"! How does Watchtower answer the question? They say contrary to what many teach, God does not subject sinners to an eternity of torture. Thus they dishonestly equate vengeful with torturing others for eternity just so they can dishonestly claim that God is not vengeful. For an organization claiming to be "The Truth", they sure are dishonest!
Many of these quotes from the watchtower article are just rephrasings of the official descriptions of various fallacies. I heard Ad Hominim, Generalization, and appeal to emotion, already. So maybe mention that as it keys into a much larger body of knowledge that people can look up, when you use those keywords.
Excellent, ironic, funny! Thanks :) By the way, Lev tells men not to “lie with a young male relation (!) as with a woman”. Going back to the original Hebrew text does occasionally help.
I don't know what I love more...your hysterical videos or the kitty. My favorite so far is your review of that awful one with the kid who leaves home and has sex with a cutie and cries out in the rain haha.
JW signed a contract which required them to NOT to question watchtower and even the elders. Watchtower is depending on JW to obey this contract. Once you go into the water, you signed a contract to be their slaves. If you don’t want to be the slaves anymore, you broke the contract and need to pay for it with your family, literally.
Printed, highlighted, and printed wiki material on the specific fallacies it mentions. Gave the results to my pimi folks. Hopefully they can recognize this next time it happens in a talk or article. In particular the david splain apostate rant from the powerful by faith convention uses every propagandistic tactic that is described in the article and a juxtaposition with that (or transcript of it) would be hair raising.
Love your channel and your content but I have some feedback… you started this video citing a specific Watchtower article and described how to find it on the JW site - all well and good, easy enough to do. However, you then go on to quote additional WT articles and literature without providing any sources at all. Now, to be clear, I do not doubt anything you quoted here - it definitely all rings true to me - however, when I search for these quotes on the JW site I don’t find any of them. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, but because you didn’t provide sources it makes it very difficult to find these sources so that someone like me can use them in conversations with JWs. I’d *love* to be able to step through some of these examples using their very own content against them and it would help *immensely* if you provided sources for some of these quotes that are not in the main article you referenced at the top of the video. Other than that, great video and thanks for all you do.
32:03 The chances of the correct amino acids coming together at the exact same time without the wrong kind of amino acids coming together Just a form some of the base proteins of a bacterial cell are one in a number so large there's no point in typing it but it exceeds the number of estimated particles in the entire universe. Mathematicians have gone over these numbers there's not one viable materialist theory behind the emergence of life, every single one of them is riddled with errors they are simply presented as fact. And that's just talking about amino acids It's not talking about DNA or RNA or multiple proteins coming together in the same place or at the same time.
@20:15 I don't care what another man or woman does in bed as long as it does not negatively impact me. That said, Watchtower is reading the Bible that many LGBT priest and LGBT people follow. So, how is it citing the Bible hate speech?

Love your hat, so festive! And love your assessment of the orgs convoluted understanding about the Bible.
thanks
Outstanding work Wally. It's amazing to me how easy it is to see how full of crap this religion is. My mom does a study with some poor unsuspecting lady on Fridays, I overhear it sometimes and this lady sounds so excited about what she's learning. Last night they were talking about headship and the great tribulation... Mom is level headed and the most reasonable, wonderful person in the world, but jw is all she's known for 60 years. If I were to show her your video she'd just smile and say "well everyone has their opinion." But I don't get into it with her. Last meeting I overheard her attending was about Deborah and how she helped the Israelites kill 10000 enemies so what a fine example she is for Christian women today. She poisoned the king and when he fell asleep some dude drive a stake through his temples. I couldn't help myself and said "mom when I fall asleep tonight don't drive a stake through my head." She laughed and said "I'm not a prophetess!" All I know is it's a good thing no elder has tried to tell her not to "associate" with me, he'd be in big trouble.
your mom sounds cool! That is hilarious, I like when older sassy sisters would blow up on a elder for something stupid.
She sounds sweet my mom passed away 2 weeks ago 😢 and was the sweetest person. I'm glad I left her alone and just loved her all the same. She was in for 60 years but always talked to me.
Great video Wally bit I think option 3 is the answer. They are not dumb, they know what they are doing, they use so many of the techniques for manipulation of the members. Just follow the GB, whatever we say is true, even if it may not seem to make sense. I think they have actually said that.
yeah they did say that, I quoted that article in fact. Yeah I keep going back and forth in my brain on the motivation but I guess we will never know for sure
38:35 Bravo!!! Mic drop!!! Hello!!!
that was the moment where everyone should be like, well, this is all crap
@@exjehovahswitness exactly!
Good morning Wally. 14:59 what article is this?
Oh, and the other articles as well
Left hand...89 braclets
Right hand...Zero
That's how I roll too
Because you are right handed and they are bothersome when using your RH on keyboard? Or writing?
So they claim that the only thing you can rely on for truth is the bible. Yet, they also claim that the bible is so complicated that an ordinary person cannot properly understand what it means without having someone (the WTS!) explain it to them. Hmm... so is it really the bible one should view as ultimate authority, or is it the WTS? I wonder...
I find the April 1, 1972 WT hilarious because it’s titled A Prophet Was Among Them
APRIL FOOLS!!!
Thx bro. I nees these therepy sessions. Great breakdown 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad to help
You said that last time !!!.....I think your getting sucked back in ,Wally ......We need an intervention or some Jameson's 👍
yeah I am addicted to Wt articles now
Oh my god you guys…I JUST remembered…when I was PIMO, I was doing a lot of performing and album release stuff, blah blah blah (yeah, they were LOVING that!!). They pulled me into the back room one morning after meeting for service, and they were pressuring me to give the addresses of all the homosexuals in the area. I refused. They said ‘won’t you feel terrible if a young man goes to the door of one these homosexuals, and he is VICTIMIZED?!’ Oh lort…pretty sure that’s now how it works, my dudes 🤦🏼♀️ My refusal to comply with them got me in some hot water, but I did NOT care. These were my friends, I wasn’t going to sell them out to a bunch of homophobes. Wow. I’d definitely blocked THAT little gem out 🤦🏼♀️
Also…I was disfellowshipped probably a year or so later. They literally had me followed, because I stopped going to meetings 😂😂
That is fucking WILD 😬 Glad you're out friend
Hey! Another great video!
You don't need a million dollar media center like watchtower does to get your videos out to people. Kudos to you ☺️
Thanks a million
My theory is this was written by an Apostate JW that is stuck inside the cult.
I personally miss when magazines were handed out...I really don't like the online stuff...I enjoy sitting down with something in a private manner and read it...but I guess that they consider the internet progress...
yeah there is something about having a physical book or magizine that just feels more studious
Agreed. Just take it as a sign of their continual decline in financial support. Didn't they used to say that the "voluntary contributions" covering the cost of printing was evidence of God's support and if it ever went away that would be a sign that they no longer had it, or something like that?
I watched you to the end brother. Good job!
Thanks you are a hero!
Great video Wally! I always watch to the end, even with the longer videos 😁
Thanks Bill! Much appreciated!
Great info, thanks so much. Obviously they are running scared. People are starting to Wake Up, the dominos are starting to fall and they are fighting for their survival. Which mean channels llike this one are accomplishing the goal. Hooray!!!
yeah hopefully we can make people laugh and wake them up
Watchtower; double speak with forked tongue.
Well they are basically describing themselves, but I am pretty sure that they are so deluded that they will not see it that way, it will be just another fine article and on-time spiritual food.
perhaps but there is something curious about some of that wording
Saul Alinsky’s rules for propaganda:
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Yeah, they use these principles.
I think they just produce the most ridiculous, obvious articles and laugh as all the many genuine witnesses study and answer this garbage.
How far can we push these poor brainwashed followers now??
That’s crazy!
sure is
I'm not sure if it's this article or another one. But I recall reading an article on propaganda that had a sidebar asking if Jehovah's Witnesses use propaganda. And the sidebar basically sidestepped answering the question by giving a fallacious answer. It said something to the effect that Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral and don't engage in subversive political activities. Essentially, they implicitly insinuated that propaganda is necessarily a political tool and since JWs are politically neutral they therefore cannot be guilty of using propaganda. That was their dishonest, fallacious way of "answering" that question.
yeah that was in the same article as well I think. maybe we need a part 2
@@exjehovahswitness This tactic of dishonestly changing the definition of terms is found repeatedly in Watchtower literature. Another example is an article a few years ago that asked if God is vengeful. If you look at the dictionary definition of the word and you look at what the Bible says about God the answer is obvious: yes. I mean, there is even a Psalm which describes Yahweh as a "God of acts of vengeance"! How does Watchtower answer the question? They say contrary to what many teach, God does not subject sinners to an eternity of torture. Thus they dishonestly equate vengeful with torturing others for eternity just so they can dishonestly claim that God is not vengeful. For an organization claiming to be "The Truth", they sure are dishonest!
Fantastic content. CCJW is nothing but propaganda. There is no argument a JW can possibly create.
it sure would be funny for them to try though
Lol I love your videos .. great mind with a light hearted - not taking anything seriously vibe.
glad you enjoy!
Many of these quotes from the watchtower article are just rephrasings of the official descriptions of various fallacies. I heard Ad Hominim, Generalization, and appeal to emotion, already. So maybe mention that as it keys into a much larger body of knowledge that people can look up, when you use those keywords.
Well I guess we'll be taking notes!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
so true
Its like they forget what they write because they do the same shit with their doctrines
One word for the Watch tower GB! REALLY 😂
OMG you have a Christmas hat on! Pagan! (Just kidding).
tis the season
My blood is boiling
yeah this can send you up a tree fast
Excellent, ironic, funny! Thanks :)
By the way, Lev tells men not to “lie with a young male relation (!) as with a woman”. Going back to the original Hebrew text does occasionally help.
I don't know what I love more...your hysterical videos or the kitty. My favorite so far is your review of that awful one with the kid who leaves home and has sex with a cutie and cries out in the rain haha.
yeah that was a good one
They have to lie about this. The whole religion rests on it.
But to come out and discuss is so wild! why not just keep quiet
@@exjehovahswitness Probably getting a lot of questions from members and nipping it in the bud.
perhaps
@@exjehovahswitness And perhaps they have people who watch TH-cam to see what their enemies are saying and countering it.
If we say 2 plus 2 equals 5 then it is! You better not even think of questioning us! Lol
25:33 ...crickets 😂😂
JW signed a contract which required them to NOT to question watchtower and even the elders. Watchtower is depending on JW to obey this contract. Once you go into the water, you signed a contract to be their slaves. If you don’t want to be the slaves anymore, you broke the contract and need to pay for it with your family, literally.
it is crazy that they are presented with the tools to free themselves but then told not to use the tools
Best description I've heard yet of their baptismal process
Hi, can you please cite sources? I wasn’t able to find the ‘homosexual teacher’ article
Is the “Gay Life” Really Gay?
Awake!-1976
Glad my vaCum cord wont tangle
IRONY!!!!!!
Printed, highlighted, and printed wiki material on the specific fallacies it mentions. Gave the results to my pimi folks.
Hopefully they can recognize this next time it happens in a talk or article. In particular the david splain apostate rant from the powerful by faith convention uses every propagandistic tactic that is described in the article and a juxtaposition with that (or transcript of it) would be hair raising.
The end 😂
That took so long to get!!
@@exjehovahswitness 😂
I don't know why but I love them Hat on you !
What about the FICTICIOUS UNDER COVER HOMOSEXUAL brother at the K.H.??? Should your children go to the K.H.??? 🥴
When was this WT trash released???
The Manipulation of Information June 22, 2000
WT is epic fail mode
Love your channel and your content but I have some feedback… you started this video citing a specific Watchtower article and described how to find it on the JW site - all well and good, easy enough to do. However, you then go on to quote additional WT articles and literature without providing any sources at all. Now, to be clear, I do not doubt anything you quoted here - it definitely all rings true to me - however, when I search for these quotes on the JW site I don’t find any of them. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, but because you didn’t provide sources it makes it very difficult to find these sources so that someone like me can use them in conversations with JWs. I’d *love* to be able to step through some of these examples using their very own content against them and it would help *immensely* if you provided sources for some of these quotes that are not in the main article you referenced at the top of the video.
Other than that, great video and thanks for all you do.
He said propaganda, I heard proper gender.
Watchtower: you see, it's ok when we do it because Jesus n stuff
Ok Wally looking 👀 🥵🥵🥵

The chances of the correct amino acids coming together at the exact same time without the wrong kind of amino acids coming together Just a form some of the base proteins of a bacterial cell are one in a number so large there's no point in typing it but it exceeds the number of estimated particles in the entire universe. Mathematicians have gone over these numbers there's not one viable materialist theory behind the emergence of life, every single one of them is riddled with errors they are simply presented as fact. And that's just talking about amino acids It's not talking about DNA or RNA or multiple proteins coming together in the same place or at the same time.
Need an editor? Vacum isn't a thing 😉😚
vacum?
Go look up Cthulhu's Witnesses,I dare you...
?????????
@20:15 I don't care what another man or woman does in bed as long as it does not negatively impact me. That said, Watchtower is reading the Bible that many LGBT priest and LGBT people follow. So, how is it citing the Bible hate speech?
The greatest propaganda is what you see on the "news" (and of course the JW's).
I know the witnesses are garbage but they got some things right! Better study up on paganism and their forms of worship!
