I was raised JW. My mom was a believer, my dad was not. I needed a blood transfusion when I was 7...my dad fought for me to get one, even though my mom was against it. My dad won and I'm still alive.
So glad he fought for you.
holy shit, the immediate willingness to martyr your child for your bureaucratic cult. i’m glad you’re still here to tell the tale!!!
@@zee2016 it's an absolutely crazy cult 😖
@@alans.wendelschafer6588 me too! ♥️
Plato taught that ignorance is the root and stem of evil. I believe Plato more than any teachers of any religion.
It’s not just science clubs you can’t join. Anything extra curricular is forbidden. Sports teams, bands, cub scouts, dance, drama, you name it
@Rollo Yeah they take the whole - being in the whole in the world but not of it, to an exteme, a great way to isolate their kids, fellow brothers and sisters in faith from the rest of the world, keep them ignorant and make them view mistreatment, bullying and persucation as mark of honour that they a gods people...
For me my young adult years shepherding calls always consisted of the elders going through my record collection to see what I had I was and continue to be a fan of Goth music so you can imagine what does calls where like for me. I’m content now being free of so much nonsense. Incredibly my depression and anxiety subsided considerably after my departure. My siblings don’t understand how I could be happy away from the org. And yet I see them and they are unhappy and intolerant. I wonder why??
It’s not forbidden, its heavily implied or discouraged against on average. In my case, I was on the school wrestling team while being a pioneer/LDC volunteer. I was also elected as a MS while in my sophomore year of college.
@@oliversacks3837 I should clarify it was forbidden for me. And this propaganda video seems to *strongly* discourage it even if they don’t come right out and forbid
It should be deemed child abuse

Right up their at the level of Rutherford .
If you don't believe the same as I do we can't be friends ....

😂 I hear you Lloyd owes me like 3 coffees, 2 sodas and a bottle of water
The Caleb and Sophia video is proof of what is done to us as kids when we are raised in that cult. It's why I'm now 41 and I have NO FRIENDS. The only way I seem to be able to connect to people is through trauma bonding, which isn't really a great way to make friends.
The depiction of Sophia at school is a pretty accurate JW kid. Anxiety ridden small adult, looking at normal kid play like it is all stupid nonsense and beneath them so that they don’t feel left out.
@Amy Durage - - looking at normal kid play like it is all stupid nonsense and beneath them so that they don’t feel left out. As someone who was sexually abused as a kid that describes my mindset to a t, even now I struggle to express myself and have a bizzare double sides complex where I feel to digusting and worthless to particape with others but still view other people as stupid and inferior and beneath me.
Every smart kid is that way. I looked down upon most people because I learned to read early (age 3) and saw my peers as woefully ignorant. It's not about being "left out", it's about not having a damn thing in common. Yet, people like you accuse me of being traumatized, because you think female children can't be smart.
@@JNJG1999 Sad to hear you went through this J0s3ph. My heart goes out to you 🥺
@@brianclaudio1942 Thank you. i'm on a waiting list for counscilling.
@@JNJG1999 I'm glad to hear you're getting help. Very brave of you. Just know we are many facing similar situations and you are not alone 🥰
I Started to watch this and had to turn it off. Many thoughts and memories surfaced. Being a born in, the memories were so depressing. Yes, you are lonely, feel unloved. Those feelings don't go away, even if you find a partner and have children. Even leaving the Org, making friends on the "outside", makes no difference. There is a permanent feeling of rejection, loneliness, because accepting that we are loved for who we are is so hard.
They have a hospital liaison committee . But no committee for children who are abused. If anything there should be a committee for that. But I'd wager they won't even get close to those issues. Or proactive. Thanks Lloyd
just love the way they always make "worldly kids" look like unruly brats hahaha
The Caleb and Sofia video was so frustrating. My parents used to gaslight me like that, trying to make it seem like I had a choice when I really didn't. Argh.
"Wielding the dark arts of Manipulation" sums this racket up, perfectly! Feel SO sad for all of these poor children, manipulated into being so judgemental, ignorant & hateful of others. Thank you Lloyd. Your work is invaluable! 🖖
Yes, I loved that phrase too
This just broke my heart for JW kids. They shouldn't be having to choose who their friends can and can't be. Children should only have to focus on their studies. Seriously messed up.
Thanks for exposing this Lloyd!
And as parents we observe friend behaviors and guide them to learn how to choose good friends but keeping them in a bubble ??? This is so cruel!!!
I had my children in JW but I gave them leeway and even to go to school trips and parties! But with these Sophia and Caleb cartoons the new JW parents are becoming so strict🤦🏽♀️ in indoctrination!
This messed up my youth.
@@migdaliafuentes1618 I has a similar upbringing but I can't imagine what the new hell is going to be for kids whose parents are in the religion, it just seems to be getting worse for them. If only they could be helped and their childhood didn't have to be stolen from them
Really made me sad 😢broke my heart when I saw Sophia’s face in school! She looks like my grand daughter and my grad daughter is a single child - so she doesn’t have siblings to play! I really felt feelings not enjoying her early years!
😢
This religion is so cruel to kids- children that need to develop their personalities and define their abilities.
No club, no trips, get good grades but don’t participate !😡
It's all about stripping away & beating down any glimpse of your authentic self. Individuality, personality, interests, self confidence, light, energy MUST be stomped out, as evil, or Worldly traits. These poor children look confused & utterly miserable. Encouraged to be constantly down on themselves & beating themselves up for ceaslessly making WT "saaaad". Like mice on a treadmill they don't understand, or remotely possess the ability to consider critically, let alone opt out of.
Funny thing about the whole 'being prepared ahead of transfusions' blurb: My late dad had his blood card up to date, was completely overlooked by the NHS here in the UK, given a transfusion anyway (made no difference with a constant ulcer bleed, he passed 5 hours later) mum who is still an active Witness told the HLC about what had happened and their response was to the effect of 'Well, at least we can use this example for next time'. Pathetic.
It's always a great night when I hear (and see) Lloyd say "Let's roll the first clip".
This was very triggering for me as a parent remembering how I felt having to tell our kids not to play with worldly kids. The guilt I feel now that I have woken up is so heavy.
I feel your pain. My son was just a teen when we came into the ‘truth’ he gave so much up including all his friends..only to find the young ones rejected him and made him feel terrible (for not being born in to their click)I feel bad for pushing him on service and everything else. I feel I ruined his life. He’s gone from the org , I followed him, it feels good now we’re all out !! Thanks Lloyd for videos, you help so many families ❤
Don’t hate yourselves. You did what you thought was right at the time. I was the kid in that situation, but I don’t blame mum for it. She used the religion as a crutch because of my abusive dad. We all have regrets. It’s ok to visit the past, just don’t live there with that guilt.
Gosh, watching the Caleb and Sophia video brought up cringey memories for me. At 8 years old attempting to conduct a study with another student during RECESS. Even at 8 I could tell she didn’t give a crap about what I was talking about and I remember feeling embarrassed. 🤦🏼♀️
That Caleb&Sohphia cartoon was pure insanity. I can’t believe I actually believed this was something coming from “God’s channel” lmao
I have said it before . I am a Christian that watches you. I love your take on this cult . It just Amazes me about the “ new light “. So we are to believe that the God that made the universe , is depending on these characters , to explain the Bible to us?? Why wouldn’t a believer just be able to interpret and read it? I can’t believe witnesses actually believe this . 😩😩😩😩🥴🥴🥴
Unfortunately, that's how cults operate. They want everyone to interpret passages a certain way and that there should be no questioning of this interpretation. I'm glad to be part of a religion where questioning and discussing bible passages is allowed and even encouraged, and where schools are even created just for the sole purpose of arguing about interpretations.
Thank you very much for your work and amazing Channel and for your sharp mind.
fantastic rebuttal as always. can't wait for part 2!
This is SUCH an accurate depiction of the trauma of being a JW child. SO true. rrrrrright up until this scene: Dad to child holding flashlight: "please, would you mind moving the light over here, mhm...right there, thank you." now that made me laugh out loud!!
omg what an amazing way to start my vacation today!! awesome! ty lloyd and keep up the great work NOBODY else does!!
Our Kindom hall building was built in a poor Urban neighborhood. It was double sided and housed 3 English and 2 Spanish Congregations. I was the Chairperson at our monthly meeting, where Elders from each Congregation discussed important matters concerning our building. We often received correspondence from neighborhood groups asking us to help our neighbors in need. We threw those requests for our help right in the trash. We were to only help our own "Brothers" It still bothers me how we considered our neighborhood not "Worthy" of our help.
That's the way they are .I don't agree with any religion especially JWs being I had to grow up in the cult but at least other churches help their community ,feed the homeless ,have bake sales for charity ,have AA meetings in their church
And this certainly doesn’t follow Jesus’ example of love for all.
My 7 year old daughter asked that question when her grandfather died. Why can’t Jesus resurrect grandpa like he did Lazarus?
Well, it's bcause Jesus don't give no effs. Srry. XD
Hitch, brilliant orator. Essential listening and reading for ex and current Jw's.
I've never heared anything so disturbing such as using emotional blackmail as reason for keeping members in a cult. The longer I'm out ,the more they all seem absolutely insane. Oh by the way someone really needs to make a jim Henson style muppet show of all of the governing body members,that would be amazing.
I remember when I was waking up a channel that the brother used Lego characters
I can’t remember the name of the channel but maybe someone will remember and Chan share it here if the channel still exists!
Working on it.

Thank you, Lloyd! I was looking forward to see your annual meeting review! : ) Thanks for doing this! PS. I love your haircut! :)
So the bus pickup is tied - I think - back to the later sequence at @8:55. The other students were picked up by a parent, taken to a science fair and they were all rewarded with small prizes. So it’s not being coddled but just a ‘out of school’ activity that Sophia can’t join in with the other kids. Who knows, based on the hat the kid’s wearing maybe she need to learn the devil’s magic (which is called electricity by worldly folk.)
1:01:33 Tony Morris saying despicable a million times like Daffy duck 😆
Lloyd , are there ever any days when Tibor is not feeling gracious ?
You speak so much sense Lloyd
You're a strengthening aid for my family Lloyd. Your videos are great. Your efforts to keep many liberated from JW control is just remarkable! Thanks!
I think the school bus scene was meant to show how Sophia was feeling left out and not included in the kids getting rides home with their friends. I don’t necessarily think it was trying to give a message that JW kids would be considered indulgent if they asked their parents for a ride. It seemed to be more about Sophia feeling alone.
Honestly . I’m am disgusted by this Caleb and Sophia video .
Because it resonated a lot for me .
Because I was in a similar situation in her age . And it’s enraging the nerve they have to traumatize a child like that .
Her not having friends , and the stupid people , those old fucks think an old friking lady is going to do the trick .
Please see psychiatric books and see the level of harm you are doing to your children .
I work in the medical field , and I am pimo . I see a lot of hurt children in my hall and it’s sad .
sorry to hear your PIMO, I hope you find friends in the "world" and are able to get yourself out
The more I watch these things, the more I see the talking in circles, and I just can’t believe this garbage still flies. It’s incredible, really. And truly disturbing for those of us with family still firmly entrenched.
Omg 😃 witnesses from the 1950s ( when I was a young kid) would pass out in horror seeing the Society produce cartoon Jesus , good lord 🤣
And watching TV was bad!
I am one of those kids and yes I nearly do pass out - what on earth has happened to them????
Re: CALEB & SOPHIA
The reason they take the bus is because it's their "territory" and a chance to give a "good witness".
Yes. We have a guy who frequently rides the bus and always shoves the message down the throats of captive audience. People might actually befriend him if not for the preaching.
jw cult has changed a lot since I was a kid in the 50’s 60’s! i would go to school walking with my non jw neighbour kid from age 5, I could play with all the neighbours kids, go to their homes, go to a birthday party, and later travel 2 weeks with schoolmates to another country, and at the same time, I went to all meetings (5 hours a week), becoming a publisher with 11, baptised at 15, being a helper to the theocratic ministry school with 16, later i had no problem to go to college, where I brought 4 ppl into jworg… having non jw friends didn t make me stumble, during this pimi time I was so sure and happy to share the good news! it s the time after, as a (too) young elder (22) often alone in difficult congregations which made me become pimo and eventually DA.
@13:56 This made my blood boil! I remember as a kid my dad would never ever give me advice ever. It was always "go do your research" followed with a personal study littered with leading questions "what do you think you should do?" like just tell me!!! Also, everything was later. I need advice now that's why I'm asking now. Add to that that my issues were rarely applicable to anything in the Bible.
Same, I just wanted to save 15% on my car insurance and got this response
@@TruthDoesNotExist 🤣🤣🤣
Jeffrey made me facepalm myself 🤣 I've been hearing the exact same bs for almost 60 years, we're in the last of the last days bla bla bla, the end is coming now bla bla look at all that's going on , wars, famine bla bla bla, crying wolf/ armageddon for 120+ years 😱
40 years here- hearing the same boring BS!
The scene on the school bus...
I was a natural athlete, a pretty good singer, an excellent student but any and/or all extracurricular activities were verboten .
I think the entire beginning of the film is depicting that sense of separation. And, yes I see in next segment an extension of that.
You know, the" bad associations spoil useful habits" guideline.
Why did Martha have to cook in the first place? Couldn't Jesus take like one tortilla and a clump of mud and make enough Taco Bell chalupas to feed an entire village?
1:25:20 “the brothers sent us money”. Worded to sound like maybe the society gave them money as charity. When in truth it was likely “brothers” from local congregations.
tank you so much ,Lloyd been watching for long time your videos,I like the way you revel this organization
I thought they added audience clapping during mark sandersons section but it was just his chins slapping against each other while he spoke…😂
It’s giving: ‘The Handmaiden’s Tale’…😂
What I took from the part where Sophia is alone on the bus but the other girls all got into a car is that all the other girls were invited to go do something but Sophia wasn't included.
I’m wandering is Sofia father is a US citizen and if he became one it would require him to take the oath of allegiance to the United States because he doesn’t seem to be American born
I have researching Talia as a name online. It’s a name with several origins, one of which is the Hebrew for “dew of god” but the sources I found which gave it a date all say it comes the Middle Ages so Mary and Martha’s contemporary is highly unlikely to be called that. Given we know so many biblical names why didn’t they chose one of those ?
I’m surprised the JWs don’t say Job’s sons were celebrating their birthdays given all his children were killed at his eldest son’s feast by the house collapsing on them. Also Job used to make a sacrifice after each feast for the sins of his children. This story could fit their narrative of birthdays are evil
Spot on Lloyd! I was born in, and my strict/narcissistic elder father wouldn’t even let me associate with most other jw kids because “they’re not very spiritual”
It follows you into adulthood too, it’s hard to make friends 💔
I grew up Mormon and my boyfriend grew up JW. I can relate to this stuff to a degree, but JWs definitely take things to a new level. It breaks my heart for him to know these beliefs are what isolated him from his peers. They really push too much responsibility on children… teaching them judgment like this is so sad and I can’t imagine the internal conflict they face daily when they’re just trying to… well, be kids.
Religious indoctrination from a young age like this can mess you up long-term. I feel like half of the reason my boyfriend and I get along so well is because we had a strange, isolated upbringing and ongoing social challenges that seem to originate from our childhood, and it’s hard for others on the outside to understand why we are the way we are.
How many business class airfares did the governing body get this year
Question for Lloyd, do you think that the governing body actually believe in their hearts that the religion is true or do you think they secretly know or confide in each other (the faithful and discreet slave) that they don't get direction from God directly
The school bus to me shows that all the other kids are off doing extra-curricular or after school activities with friends but she's the only one going straight home.
It's a lonely isolating life. Poor children.
What are your thoughts of the new rewriting of the JW bible?
We are so happy to get more jw videos. They should get nominated for best comedy. Or get a time for broadcast at comedy central.
All the JW interviews always has the man speaking first, then his wife/daughter can speak. Grates me endlessly! 😡
It's so heartbreaking seeing this religious child abuse going on. That an innocent child should be told to ignore their conscience and shun people, where even the cartoon shows them knowing this is not right but going with it anyway because of parental pressure. Stunting their future emotional and spiritual growth...it's nothing less than a crime.
I think the implication of her being alone on the school bus and the other kids getting a ride is that she goes straight home because she has no friends, whereas worldly kids have friends to hang out with after school, so a friend's parent is taking them all to the roller rink or something
Hey Lloyd, what’s the song you play in every video? I can’t seem to find it.
Duplex heart - Not forever
@@brycetorno Thanks!
Your content is , as always, superb
Is the following the spelling for your space, "Ramacrow" why did you pick that name?
Around 45:00-Which of these "signs" HASN'T been happening since humanity's beginnings??
"Martha liked to cook!" No.... Martha was a woman and so she was expected to or else. Lol
Good job there wasn't a "flamethrower effect" when Tony Morris was blowing out that match!
Re: SENSATIONAL FAMILY REUNIONS...
"For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart."
Isaiah 65 v.17
How will reunions be "spectacular" if the resurrected ones don't remember you or anything about their former life with you?
I grew up in the organization and have stopped believing their doctrines for about 11 years now and I have to say, hearing them say “the last of the last days” is very weird to me.
The gas money saved by the free schoolbus can go in the collection box .
Jackson talks about the need for JWs to have integrity. Where was his integrity when he said the ARC that it would be presumptuous to say they are the only channel to god. It would have been a platform for him to be clear about the beliefs and doctrines of the Borg, but he hid his light under a basket didn't he. Hypocrite.
Morris...."the chapter before 8 that would be 7 and verse 13" Tony can count backwards yay!
What does "the Bible" say about loving & helping ONLY those who love & help you, again? Or about deciding anyone's Heart condition or Salvation? Jesus parable about the Good Samaritan?
Will ressurection even happen? Is it even possible? I feel that giving promise to grieving people that their dead loved ones will be ressurected can be insulting to grieving people.
THE REAL, RAGING, and EXISTING BATTLE TO THE DEATH ON PLANET EARTH -
Satan the Devil's Atheism, Agnoticism, and Religious Fanaticism
VS.
The Creator's Sovereignty and his Christ's authority and teachings
SATAN's ATHEISM, AGNOSTICISM, and RELIGIOUS FANATICISM -
Atheists, Agnostics, and fanatics of all Religions are human beings who were tricked and deceived by Satan the Devil to mock, oppose, and defy the authorities, teachings, and commandments of the Creator and his Christ.
Atheists and Agnostics are now boasting and claiming that the Creator is useless and unworthy to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God.
Fanatic Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, all Religions degraded the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the Kingdom of God and Resurrection of the Dead as worthless and useless and fill the world instead with their Satanic lies, deceits, and false teachings about Hellfire, rapture, Armageddon, Trinity, and reincarnation.
The Creator and his Christ KNOW that the great, superior, and powerful Atheists, Agnostics, and fanatics of all Religions in the world are their opposers and enemies.
The Creator KNOWS that the Satanic arrogance and foolishness of Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. in mocking, opposing, and defying his Sovereignty and his Christ's authority and teachings will just result in their own sufferings, dishonor, disgrace, downfall, shameful and ETERNAL DEATH, just worthless and useless dusts on earth forever.
ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without sufferings, pains, griefs, sickness, and death is the Creator's reward and honor for lowly, loving, submissive, and obedient human beings who respect and believe the authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the Kingdom of God and Resurrection of the Dead.
The teaching of Jesus Christ about the Resurrection of the Dead guarantees that loving, kind, and obedient human beings who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, King David, Jesus Christ's disciples, and many others will be resurrected back to life in the Creator's own right time so they can fully enjoy the eternal love, kindness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity as submissive and obedient subjects of the Kingdom of God.
Like Loyd has mentioned in previous videos, Jehovah's Witnesses highjack the grieving process with this nonsense. On top of that people in the Org have stayed simply because they wanted to see their dead loved ones again to the detriment of their living family members.
@@alyssawoodman and who's to say there will be an earthly resurrection. Nobody has ever come back from the dead to tell us otherwise.
It will. Like Jesus was here on earth, he resurrected some dead. Just like that happened, it'll happen again.
@@lugi25 if Jesus truly resurrected the dead he would have been considered highly valuable, he would never have been put to death. The narratives of the bible has been purposely concocted to promote Satan as the true God of devine love, and much of the bible is not authentic.
Re: ABRAHAM
You ask, "How can you admire a man who would do that?"
I would add, "How can you admire ANYONE who would admire a man who would do that?"
The organization is right that they are living the last of the last days. Because they are disappearing. 👍😁
Hey! You are totally right: they are in the final end of the last of the last days… of the WT!!!
DOWN WITH THE TOWERRRR!!!
Nope. They're growing in baptisms and growing in zoom viewers and live attendance.
@@lugi25 I remember back in the 90s and even in the 2000s more than 50 getting baptized.
I'm surprised uncle Tony doesn't know the name of Noah's wife......... all children know it's Joan.........(Joan of Arc)
I actually heard the drums go boo-doom-tish when I read this.
No 'extra curricular' activities allowed, science or otherwise. That's why she's riding the bus alone. Bad associations, you know. So you dont get to do shit as a kid. Best life ever
Does anyone else know the difference between a turtle and tortoise? Just thought I'd ask because the governing body don't seem to know.
I guess the school bus was empty because everyone else went for the science fair..
I cud clearly remember tey saying, the day will come wen "we'll hv to pick up our bags n run" now its something else
JW kids (at least in my part of the world) are much more isolated than when i was a kid in the 90s. there was at least a dozen or so young families in just my congration that i grew up in. i had many friends at the hall (kid friends). When my wife, kids and I started attending again in 17-20' years we tried about 4 different halls in my local area i think there may have been about 6 young families total.... what a sad joke. its no wonder suicide is so rampant in the JW community.
It depends on the congregation. There are young people in organization. How long will they stay ? Who knows ?
@@MrDMC11889 one of the last meetings my wife and i attended (in person) the talk was on how single people should stay single amd married couples shouldnt have kids as "the end was so close" that was the last straw for my wife as we sat in attendance with two young kids 😂. now my wife wasnt raised in the borg like i was. that talk was the last straw for her
Where is there facts of suicide being common in JWs?
I’m out but my husband is in still. We have one young child and there is literally NO kids for about 1 1/2 hr drive. We live in a rural area but he seems to think we should drive around to find a friend. Meanwhile at her school there are tons of good kids she already is friends with. But he doesn’t want her to see those kids outside of school. It’s so backwards!!! I’m like I am not driving all over the earth so my daughter can have one friend. This video is crazy… she can’t participate in the Science Fair???? It seems to be the organization is getting stricter.
@@bobbiefritz2525 Do whatever you have to do she has friends close when she's my age she will thank you
Thanks a loooot to Jeffrey Jackson for this great panties reversing example. On Caleb and Sofia episode we learn that science is evil but in your talk we should take what scientists study and disclose, the "global warming", as a sign of the "last days". You are a master in panties flip flopping.
Kids have to be wary of science because they might learn about evolution.
about "help" in poland (from a polish perspective). My brother (pimo) offered his help to give shelter to Ukrainian family. He wanted to just help anyone but strong pressure from the pimi family was to let them put ukrainian JWs in his house. he agreed. it turned out that his guest had a family member that was disfellowshipped and they escaped ukraine together. at first, elders didnt see any problem with it but after a week or two they told him to get rid of the DFed and he was not "allowed" to provide shelter to anyone who was DFed anymore. they couldnt do anything to him since he had no "privileges" anyway so he ignored them. yes, he was told to throw out a refugee on the street. there is no hate like JWs brotherly love.
also: when JWs were standing at train stations with their disgusting JW org signs, they were taking space from ppl who were actively helping refugees. when asked to move by volonteers whe were preparing food, blankets, etc, because they were standing in their way and they could use that space, they often refused. (a lot of TV stations were on site to broadcast what was going there and JWs conveniently tried to stand with the signs in from of the cameras. disgusting "help".
side note: when war begin, polish JWs were sending to each other whatzapp messages congratulating themselves that they "made it to the armageddon".
Jdubs with their JW logo signs are nothing less than idols, they hold them up proudly, idol worship at their finest.... Hypocrites!
Does Stephen Lett even blink? I dont think Ive seen a more convincing argument for lizard people existing before.
Lol
Your rebuttals a amazing Lloyd ! Keep it up my man .
"I don't know what they're going to talk about but they sure have chosen some interesting themes."
Does anyone have a copy of the full annual meeting for 2022?
I don't believe I'm the only one who notices that the stage is in a unusual elevated height. When you go to a job interview the interviewer wants his or her seat to be elevated and the interviewee should be lower and this is to subconsciously convey power. To me it is a subtle notice I could be wrong but it just seems that to me.
Is there a tshirt that says “ If Tibor is gracious”??? I’d buy that!!
Actually there is on my Spring merch store, lol 🙂
@@LloydEvans thank you!!! I will check it out
How many times the governing body WT criticized Hollywood movies that added biblical characters and here they are adding characters and events that never happened.
They are definitely creating a new Bible
Notice the music used as emotional control.
I just love the fact that I found out when the J was invented was in 1524
Me and my brother had to sit outside the hall for assembly for fear of prayers or songs going against Jw we got bullied so bad as kids
Don’t think it was a good idea for all those men to visit those single women alone
Lloyd I think you perhaps missed commenting on a small part of Jefferey Jackson’s speech (where he details all those signs of the impending Armageddon (political instability etc ) where he says “just as in 66CE we see….” So not only is he saying the signs are apparently now but in what he said those signs were also happening in 66CE, so if the signs have been happening now for around 2000 years. This comment surely destroys his argument that Armageddon is near 😂
It's messed up that Sophia's like 10 but her new friend is like 15, and the moral of the story is "It's totally normal for your only friend as a kid to be 5 years older or younger than you because you're only allowed to make friends with the other kids in your kingdom hall!"
As someone who had been friends with a JW as a child, these Caleb and Sophia video make me want to be Sophia’s friend so badly. She’s obviously very lonely. It just makes me sad.

Oh Tony... If there's a God, he's rolling his eyes in sheer despair.
