    I remember Tony Morris said in a talk, that everyone would be held blood guilty if they did not go out in the field ministry. Watchtower has seriously gone past the point of insanity. These cult leaders will be held accountable.

      @jgar6643 Time is the most valuable thing that anyone has. Watchtower knows this. That's what the leadership stole from many JWS. There's no reversal of time, but Watchtower can be held accountable for defrauding JWS of their time. No, JW should have been turning in a "TIME CARD" if their ministry was supposed to be VOLUNTARY !! Watchtower broke the law. Every JW ( publisher) that turned in "TIME" to Watchtower should SUE for reimbursement/payment. Pioneers SIGNED a piece of paper saying that they would volunteer a certain amount of hours. This is why ONLY publishers fill out a slip that doesn't require reporting of hours & time spent in the JW CULT. The publishers are checking ✔️ ✅️ a box that says they have "SHARED"... WATCHTOWER violated labor laws, and its just NOW CATCHING UP TO THEM. GOVERNMENTS all over the world are being informed about what these high controlled groups are doing to people & some of these groups are using RELIGION to HIDE BEHIND 🤔, to commit crimes. Yes, no one can EVER get their VALUABLE TIME BACK, BUT THEY CAN SURE MAKE WATCHTOWER PAY FOR WHAT WAS STOLEN FROM THEM, ILLEGALLY. Yes, Watchtower can be HELD ACCOUNTABLE. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. Watchtower's END is NEAR. The WRATH is upon Watchtower and every organization like them. It's up to "The People " to let their voices be heard. Bringing awareness to the government and the general public is very vital for change & making a positive difference to all humanity.

      My adult children still have PTSD from our experience and loss because of this cult. I am grateful that my 4 children and husband are with me, we did lose my parents when we left. We have been shunned ever since. That has been 14 years, my mom passed away 4 years ago and allowed me to take care of her the last 10 days of her life. She had shunned us up to that point. My dad an elder for 45 plus years, told me, after your mom dies you don't have to come back. Users, losers, no natural affection. Sorry for the rant. Love your format, style . Blessings to you both.

Look at what you said, your mom "allowed" you to take care of her??? Really? I've seen many situations like this, where the Jw will need serious help and no one from the "congregation" will help so they have to lean on their family members who they've shunned for a long time! Complete insanity! So thankful we all got out and are no longer under their control

All those years, my love, devotion, sweat and tears, that when into this.. was really Fear of the unknown. The Organization's True colors are showing now.

    I told my husband before that counting time was unscriptual, and he shook his head and defended the jws doing it. I just told him about them no longer counting time and he said it makes sense since they wont want the authorities to know how many hours people are spending in service when tribulation happens 😮‍💨😵‍💫. I just cant with him...i stared at him let him finish justifying it to himself and walked away to eat more chicken. He is completly blind to see thru it bc of his pride and not wanting to be wrong. He'll spin anything for the org but holds everything else in world accountable. Hes also been disfellowshipped for over 16 years... 🤷‍♀️

      Don’t get me wrong , they are good people . But brain washed to the max . I watch this because it’s relatable and it’s good to see that more people are realizing how much of a bullshit occult this is .

My mom here and there but my dad and I got into it over a year ago about the CSA and the organization and he pretty much shuns me now. My sister decided to shun me back in 2018 when for the very first time I had said something on social media (facebook) about my childhood and how I was raised inside the cult. It was regarding the Leah Remini Scientology Jehovahs Witness episode. She didn't like that I was speaking on it. And how it makes the cult look crazy. But nothing I said was attacking or rude it was merely the rules of the religion. We also talked over the phone about the CSA going on and she wouldn't believe me. Since then she has not spoken a word to me. They shun you even if you aren't baptized. But now I speak LOUD AND PROUD about it. I don't have any more to lose so what the heck.

To offer you an opportunity to be forgiven, and cleansed from all the evil that you have done. He was buried, and he rose again the third day for our justification(1 Corinthians 15:3-10). If you believe in Him/Christ and repent of your sins and get born again of the water and of the Spirit you can enter God's kingdom and have the hope of eternal life. Please see (John 3:5-7) & (Acts 2:37-38),(Acts 19:3-7).

    My mom enthusiastically told me the news today (as I am inactive at the moment) and acted like it was 'new light', while in fact, it's simply Biblical. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus ask his apostles to report their hours to him. So my immediate question is, how will the elders now know if someone is "spiritually weak" or not? 😢
    At this point the organization is becoming a parody. It's getting harder and harder for me to take them seriously and I was a hardcore Witness for the majority of my life. However, I will say that this is a change I can get behind.
    I've seen many pioneers half-assing it, just to get their hours in. When I would go out in the ministry with them, I would go door-to-door with them for 20 minutes, then drive around for an hour and a half to do two or three return visits and then go have lunch for an hour. They counted that time and told me I could do too. It didn't feel right to me and when I asked a sister about it, she angrily replied (yes, angrily): "How else am I going to get my hours for the month!"
    It's all about keeping up appearances, so they can hold on to their title of 'pioneer' and get the perks that go with it. I tell you, I really think the 10 to 12 hours a month I did, were more meaningful that the 70 hours most of them did, because I actually spent the majority of that time talking to people in the field.

They do still seem to have a lot of people on zoom though because I’ve heard between 40-50 people are on zoom each meeting. The mid week meeting the parking lot was very empty. I wasn’t sure if it’s just this area I live in now or what. But back in the day when I was growing up in the 90s and early 2000s living in a far suburb of Chicago we were packed in the main hall and back rooms 200+ people and memorials standing room only if you didn’t get there early.

    This is a quotation from their founder C.T.Russell, "A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth. New light never extinguishes old light, but adds to it." Another thing is that there is no change to truth. Their understanding of the "truth" changes. This just confirms that they don't have the truth.

    Long story short... i was disfellowshipped because i got preggers to a brother in another congregation...I was a pimo while I was a young teenager.....so I purposely got reinstated and
    then after a few months I bounced! 😂 My brother followed my lead and eventually just faded off from going to the hall too.
    My mom.and older brother are still witnesses which is why i try and.keep up with what they're learning 😂
    Anway...I'm waiting for the next step to be that they do away with disfellowshipping....when they do.....all heck is gonna break loose!!

    I am so with you on your Tony Morris speculation. I believe the GB knew all these changes were coming. Tony was always such a hardcore, old school JW that he wasn’t gonna get on board with these ideas that were pointing to a more mainstream religious direction. So they ousted him. There were probably other factors involved. But I’ve been thinking about this one for a while. New Light is such an absurd excuse for getting things wrong and they DO owe their followers lots of apologies! Great video!!

    "NEW LIGHT OK!!!" lol
    That's my mother. So blinded she looks like a dingbat. She's exactly that way you all described when it comes to new light. Not apologizing my Mother would defend it "They're imperfect humans too" (excuse me?! the direct channel). The shunning part of that, I think it may become light shunning for those who disassociate than those who are disfellowshipped but yes the fear of loosing all contact is strong.
    That's one reason why I've made lots of friend outside the organization (sorry Elders) because I someone who can't stand being alone, would crawl back to the Elders grip of power. I can handle being alone when I decide to leave (waiting for a new place because I live with some witnesses) but I'm not going to underestimate the power of this organization. I hear it can take years to undo a lot.

To this day I haven’t received a reply but at least I could see the wheels turning in her head and the expression on her face told me clearly she was stumped and had never thought about that.

Yes they are single mom witness much of it. yeah we waking up has PIMO, I remember telling my mom about this. My grandma keeps talking about she feels so bad because she was always about time

    CULT - A group of people working together and bound together by the same ideal, principle, and charismatic leader, usually of a religious nature; system or sect becomes object of devotion and is not to be confused with occult. Members must adhere to a strong belief system, behavior is dictated and must conform, expectations of routine and defined, and allegiance is expected or commanded. A cult is empowered primarily by the strong allegiance that binds the organization or group. The cult concept is unwelcome to free thinkers.

    .. but if you are a bro. doing under the average hours consistently.. you probably won’t be allowed to do the mics.. or be an MS.. or maybe even in the ‘olden days’ at the ministry school, they would simply not assign you a talk or even a 4 minute bible reading because you ‘don’t qualify’..
