The Blue Envelope
США
Добавлен 18 фев 2019
Welcome! I was one of Jehovah's Witnesses for 30 years, before eventually leaving. I was a second generation Witness, ministerial servant, regular pioneer, and spent the final part of my JW career in a foreign language congregation (Spanish). On this channel, I talk about a variety of topics having to do with the religion.
I named the channel The Blue Envelope because we talk about things which aren't always common knowledge. Special blue envelopes were used by congregations to send reports of judicial committees to Watchtower headquarters. The distinct color ensured that women working in Bethel mailrooms wouldn't open the correspondence. Service Department eyes only!

At the 2023 Annual Meeting, the headquarters staff of Jehovah's Witnesses announced that congregation publishers will no longer have to report how many hours they spend preaching each month. On the other hand, pioneers and other full-time servants will.

Un Coucou de France. Je suis fan de ta chaîne mon ami.
At 8:00 "under prayer and when there is unanimous accord, the brothers take this as Jehovah's direction and they are happy to share it with the brotherhood". So when they change or reverse a belief/teaching, then Jehovah must had lied to them?! I don't think so.. more like these men are neither anointed nor have a direct line to universal 'truth'
If they signed a bow of poverty why did tight pants get a near half of mil home and a handler.
No doubt, they can call themselves representatives or otherwise but let's call it a spade a spade; they're lobbyists or influencers within the constructs of the political structures driven by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party of both houses of the Senate.
Who was the relax your anus guy?😂😂😂
How many people claim to be Christian in the world? A true Christian should vote because voting is our voice. We should vote for the party that has Christian values. What would be wrong to vote for NO WARS, NO ABORTIONS, NO ABUSING WOMEN AND CHILDREN, AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS A MUST, IF POLITICIAN COMMITS A CRIME MUST BE FIRED RIGHT AWAY, IF A PHARMACEUTICAL COMMITS A CRIME MUST LOSE THEIR LICENSE, PRESCRIPTION DRUGS KILL MILLIONS NO ONE GOES TO JAIL, DOCTORS KILL MILLIONS NO ONE GOES TO JAIL, BILLIONAIRS GET AWAY WITH MURDER, WE HAVE NO RULE OF LAW,. IF TRUE CHRISTIANS RAN THE COUNTRY WE WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE. TRUE CHRISTIANS ARE NOT COWARDS WHY ARE WE NOT IN POLITICS? We are told in the scriptures what God's Kingdom will do and bring us. The sriptures do not say that we should sit back and allow evil to overcome women and children. Or for that matter neither men nor boys.
The Governing body owes Raymond Franz an apology. Read the book...Crisis of Conscience. By Raymond franz.

Everything about these con artists makes me physically sick!!!! But it’s Yashuah’s job to judge them and I don’t think that’s going to be a good day for any of them 🙏🙏🙏🙏
and i still get ignored by familiar faces in the kingdom hall. guess they have that strict conscience deep in their head or they dont want to be different than others.
No!!! That's "OVERLAPPING EMPLOYMENT" 😂
It’s amazing how people blindly follow these men! Thanks for sharing!
but prior going to Bethel they had all been living in a van down by the river!
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great exposure 👌

The Bible says. "If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat"..........2 Thess. 3v10....
Brilliant!!!
They live like roman emperors and present themselves as slaves.
Didn’t Christ look at the Jewish Priesthood the same way? The poor were starving but the “Leaders” eat well!😮😢😳🙈🤣🧐🤔🤫😵💫😎🇺🇸 12:56
surprised they dont say the poor should eat there 💩💩💩 and be gratefull for it becuase its from the "all loving" jehova
And in more recent years Bethlites have to take a "vow of poverty". Yet there is a clause that individuals can be excused from the vow if 'approved'. One guy at headquarters worked high up in Swiss international bank UBS for 30 years. He is helping the org form investment management firms in Ireland. You think he might have been 'excused' from the "vow of poverty"? Another one working on that is a PHD who gives talks at universities. Yet the rank and file must remain plebs to work for the borg.
Back in 2003 probably I was a witness, working full time and a part time student. I took a "gasp" Philosophy class. Logic. Debate encouraged. The final project was a essay you read in front of the class. I decided to do one on non blood medical treatments. I mean according to JW i should have been persecuted but everyone was polite, no one attacked me, they were a bit bored i guess. Just a single comment "theres no substitute " from a medical student. Even the instructor who was atheist was polite.
When Gerrit Losch was called to be deposed in that CSA case he wrote a whole reply that basically said “That’s not my job.”
hey, nice shirt!
The G B what a bunch of B S,!!!!!!!!!
If they worked and paid their way in life, wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of the organization to provide for them?
Geoffrey Jackson was not a horrible looking younger man. His first wife was kinda cute too. What happened!?
It would be interesting to know how much money one would have to make to live the lifestyle of the Governing Body.
Even if you don't believe what Jehovah's Witnesses teach, a person who has a spiritual interest will respond. Watch "Messiah 2030" to see how much you didn't learn from Jehovah's Witnesses. The Org. teaches "replacement theology" when Jesus said "salvation is from the Jews".
If people don't respond when you show them information on the Bible, they are not hungering and thirsting to know God. They have the mark of the beast.
Geez, living off Watchtowerland dole, all expenses paid, while wearing Rolex watches and gold jewelry! How does that work!?💥
This is a good cool video. Damn these chuckle heads haven't gotten their hands dirty in years. Must be nice. Love your channel bro! A+++ Thumbs UP all the time.
Lakeside villas, well prepared meals, Drs/nurse on-site, free vacations, laundry, and all little things covered. They're probably saying after Armageddon it can't get much better 😮
The GB want to thank all the ice cream money and remember kids are enemies of Jehova. No money, no religion.
No wonder they don’t want to reject what they teach. No 401-K, no pension, no social security. They would lose everything!
They live in a freaking commune!!! Stipend pay. Free room and board. Just don’t do anything crazy or you will have to leave the commune!
The majority of these guys probably never even held full time jobs. People who aspire to go to bethel are often young pioneers who work part time jobs and mooch off of family since it’s such a “sacrifice”.
Mr. Morris still probably has a blessing from the ancient caananite god, an expense account for mileage to the 🥃 liquor store. Hail Baal!
On point like usual!! Love your style & content 😊
You don't go out looking like that on a Tuesday if you're looking for work
Such a load of hypocrites, more fool JW's for falling for it.
Most of the info that’s dispensed as spiritual food is outdated, unrealistic, & sensationalized. It’s a perfect blend of being out of touch (since those writing these articles are insulated and isolated from the outside world for decades), coercion (to push the rank & file to see all things from their POV), hope (to continue to tickle their ears to stay on the hamster wheel) & fear (to keep the rank & file in line). Perfect recipe created by those who many rank & file will never meet, interact w/ or have a personal relationship with. They r literally the Wizard from Oz.
Some of my former London Bethelites have not worked secularly in fifty years; so what! King Charles has not held down a job in fifty years, since he served in the Royal Navy.
Why get a secular job, when contributions provide a comfy lifestyle? Well, I’m sure at least these guys are all pioneering! Yeah right! 😂
