exjw ex jehovah's Witness Former Pioneer Former Ministerial Servant Former Elder Watchtower Cult governing body update

While I do share the Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs, I do think their portrayal of certain situations is a bit extreme. I can understand how some outsiders can be stumbled by some of the JW videos. Parties in themselves are not inherently wrong. I think what the Watchtower is trying to point out is the association at these parties. While clubs in themselves are not immoral, the associations with people at these clubs can be spiritually damaging, and the Bible tells us that "bad associations spoil useful habits." (1Corinthians 15:33) While a woman who goes to a club may not engage in drugs or heavy drinking herself, those around her may do those things. People also tend to engage in loose conduct at clubs.
Jw's should just stay home and lock the door. People in public are smoking, drinking, and swearing
I remember having pot parties because they wouldn't allow us to call them pot luck. This is a cult.
Wake up. There is so much wrong with this cult, I was in it for 36 years, I've seen it all!just because you're not in this cult does not mean you're an immoral or wicked person!
Most of their beliefs aren't biblical... Js..
I have been to many gatherings with JWs and the amount of liquor they consume is mind blowing. I became a social drinker because of that. I always had to turn down drinks.
@@jennamarie8372 making that statement doesn't make it true... you might want to back up your words with some evidence.
I left the org 10 yrs ago. Married a non jw man, have 4 great kids, a modest, normal house, a car that hauls this herd of youngins and I am VISCERALLY, DISGUSTINGLY happy. I told my jw mother recently that I am happier now than I had ever been as a pioneer or jw at all. We don’t drink alcohol, we don’t smoke, we don’t party. We’re just normal people living our lives. I really don’t understand why they always assume leaving jws is doom. It’s literally the best thing I ever did. Idk tho, I think I may miss those JW get togethers and the line dancing 😂😂😂😂
It's not possible to leave WT and be happy. Additionally, it's not possible to leave WT and not become a smoker, drug addict, drunk, promiscuous and an overall horrible human being. Stop fooling yourself.
That being said, I left WT 12 years ago. ..AND HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.
we don’t care. why do people have to say their unneeded stories on youtube

How long have you been a JW, "the most loving people on earth"?

@@adamantiumbullet9215*JWS SHOW THERE LOVE BY HELPING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS.* 🧡
I get so angry sometimes when I think about all the years I wasted in this cult
Really disgusted me when she said cuz “courage doesn’t come naturally”
This is why most cannot summon the strength to leave, they don’t believe in themselves
At least in the military, they break you down then build you back up.
Watchtower just breaks a person down and leaves them there.
@@adamantiumbullet9215And dare call it loving truth😢
I commented on the same thing! Disgusting!!!
They're such fucking sheep.
12:45 how sad she goes to bed ALONE thinking about another woman’s life 🤣 … they show you how miserable they are in plain sight.
This was even cultier than usual. Poor woman
I didn't realize it back then that it's okay to party and to have fun. Not all parties are sex, drugs, and rock n' roll in the way that Jehovah's Witnesses protray it to be. The world isn't even like that. And coming from an abusive relationship, I can see the similarities in the manipulation that they pull. 🤦🏽♀️ It's sad!
Not all of em... Just the fun ones jk lol
But yeah. I don't like crazy parties. I like game nights. With that said, I'm not gonna tell people that what they find fun is wrong--if it's not hurting anyone
Music and Dance are wonderful. I went on to become an Art and Music Therapist later, seeing people relieved from stress and grief and become freed-up from stiff, unyielding bodies which held so
much tension. Music and movement is a good thing. Going out to dance is wonderful, or dance in your own home to music you FEEL. Like Artwork in any media, you are self-expressing instead of holding all the religion in, forcing you to grin from ear-to-ear like a recruiter at a cart. There’s nothing wrong with partying, it can be done without drinking and drugs, just music, dance, socialization, good food.

Thinking for yourself is practically a crime in a deadhead world 😮!
George Orwellian 1984 thinking. NO INDEPENDENT THOUGHT. Read that book. JW are doing that thinking.
@@seekhyde499I keep going back to the January 15, 1983, “Watchtower”. In those columns, the Society tacitly admits the veracity of your response by telling Jehovah’s witnesses to “avoid independent thinking” in themselves and to “fight against independent thinking” in others. In those lessons, the Society even goes so far as to compare those who dare think and reason for themselves to Eve.
However, I wouldn’t call it “Orwellian”. After all, George Orwell was writing against that type of thing. Indeed, he would have had a field day with how the Society so accurately fits the role of Big Brother. You’re absolutely right, though, life as one of Jehovah’s witnesses follows “1984” to a “T”.
My husbands side of the family are all JW’s the men are elders and some in bethel. But when I tell you that I’ve never met people that can drink sooooo much I’m being serious!!!! All they do when they gather up is drink a lot and talk a lot of s*it about other bothers and sisters and tell each other the gossip from the hall.
I noticed the same thing before I left 12 years ago. Drinking among JWs was out of control. JWs are self-medicating just to get through life as one of "the happiest people on earth", "living the best life ever".
Many JW’s are functioning alcoholics, my dad used to be that way. Hell, I used to be one. Many of my friends when I was still a JW were alcoholics. Guess being part of a soul sucking high control group draws you to alcoholism.
My ex husband was an elder and the way they drink and gossip was crazy!!!! I knew way too much about the brothers and sisters in the congregation.
Very true. Big time drinkers.
Why was she dressed like Wednesday Adams 😂
The creepy and kooky, mysterious, and spooky, their altogether ooky, the Adam's family. Da da da da snap snap.
@@jimbobaggans1564But, at least the Addams family were portrayed as a typical family. I, for one, always appreciated, for instance, how Gomez and Morticia weren’t ashamed of being affectionate with each other.
JWs answer all of your questions...even when they don't actually know the answer.
Yup. That’s the flip side of calling your beliefs “The Truth”. When you have Absolutely truth (as opposed to an opinion) it requires the need to have a response to anything.
One thing for sure, Jehovah's witnesses really know how to PAR-TAY., I mean " Get together "....
Cringe... right before you came back to talk about the Catholic... I'll watch more of it later, once my stomach settles..
Yeah. "Get together" 2 days after Thanksgiving, and pretend we aren't celebrating lol. Every. Year.
I remember that. I dreaded going to those "get togethers". Cringe, and boring. I'm happy I'm out of that organization now. It was so suffocating. I would come up with every excuse possible to get out of going to those get togethers.
Ok, I don't know what age everyone commenting here is, but as a 51 yr old and a teenager in the 80s, early 90s, born and raised in, we had dancing 'parties' not get-together's back then and it was like 50+ teenagers at a kids house in someone's basement or in the summer in the garage, you had like 3 chaperones. We always picked a 'cool' elder and their wife (who were known for liking to drink too much and not pay attention) and one other super chill person from the congregation. We would drive across state lines to go to parties. I'm from Pittsburgh, I went to parties in Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey. All as a teenager, with other teenagers. The rules were soooo completely different back then. They were legendary! Maybe that's why 'get-togethers' became a thing! 😂🤣😂 Oh, and btw, my dad was an elder and I was a regular pioneer. Just sayin...
@@JustDeannaJune Same years you were partying, we were at "get togethers". You seem to have had a more easy going congregation. During the 80's and 90's, it was only families at BBQs or other outside family events. We had families who wouldn't even turn the radio on while driving to the meeting, so there was no way we were having dance parties.
So sorry to hear that your 7 year old nephew was allowed to die because of false doctrine. That must have been devastating. So sad.
I am not letting their videos phase me anymore they are so pathetic
I’m Catholic and try to not be so blinded that I can’t accept other ways of thought. But to make a general statement about the CatholicChurch (JW’s favorite religion to hate) that no answer was given is ridiculous. They received an answer they didn’t like. So they went searching until they found a cult that met their needs.
The party scene is so contradictory. I know many Witnesses that go to Concerts, whether it’s in a park or at a Venue. But don’t dare go to a club or bar and or parties because only bad things happen at those events 🤦🏾♂️. Bad things can happen anywhere, even on an all inclusive Resort, theme parks, etc!!!
Let's not mention the swinger parties and wife swapping that happens among Elders. I guess those don't qualify as "parties" or clubs.
@@adamantiumbullet9215yes😢
Notice as one of our members cooperated with invisible entities 1:10 -15 to convince others the one hope, one Lord, one baptism does not apply to them today.

"I'm so happy" she says as she looks like she's barely holding on
The family guy example is perfect 😂
8:10 woah woah woah... *Jehovah* explained to her why she lost her parents. I'm pretty sure she means people calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses "explained" to her why she lost her parents. Subtle but sneaky wording there.
The script is pretty extreme about partying. I was a party animal and I loved it. I had so much fun. And then I became a JW but I never regretted partying. Lol. Now I’m a PIMO and think man this is so stupid. I’m glad I partied hard. I didn’t die. I didn’t hurt myself or anyone. I regret nothing.
The irony too is that as younger JWs we used to go to clubs and party all the time ! ! No drugs but definitely alcohol.
BITE model in full effect 🤦🏾♀️
So interesting as I was born and raised a JW and from a very young age saw through the BS. I had so many questions that were never addressed and certainly not answered even though my dad was a "P.O." and my mom and sis full time pioneers. I found myself at the library looking into things (as this was way before the internet) and had the courage to leave at 17. I'm now 52 and my family still refuses to discuss anything from any other perspective other than the witness teaching.
Same here!! I was raised in it until I finally woke up and left it in 2019!! Covid is the one of the reasons I did some research, couldn’t get outside, so I was able to find out so much disgusting stuff on the organization!
Straightaway... the Catholic Church is mentioned in a negative light.
🤦🏻
Oh the toxic shame is off the charts! Nice rebuttal Wally.
8:27 darn it. I just got Amish Paradise out of my head. It’s been on loop for two days. 😂😭😭😭🥲
“Churned butter once or twice living in an Amish paradise” 😂😂
@@bethany45101 YAS! RAISED A BARN ON MONDAY SOON ILL RAISE ANOTHER!!! (Fool)
Can you imagine what Al Yankovich could do with some of the Kingdom Songs? At the very least, he’d make them tolerable, particularly some of the newer ones.
Asking questions from JW’s once you are baptized is grounds for disfellowship if you persist. You are NOT to question anything!
I’ll never forget when my dad was away on business. My mother had just had her third child who was three weeks old and she got really sick. So here my mother is with three kids. The babies is fine but she’s really sick. She can’t cope and despite my father being a servant, not one person in the kingdom hall came to help her. Not one. But our Catholic neighbor did. She took loving care of me and my older sister helped my mother look after the baby and she took care of my mother as well for over two weeks. By their fruits You will know them. So that Catholic woman showed more Christianity than a congregation filled with “good Christians”.
It's funny that she says courage doesn't come naturally... Ummm that's because you're being FORCED to talk about something you may not really want to. Since I've left the cult 5 years ago (born and raised in), got sober (oh, yes, stopped partying AFTER I left the org btw!) and at 51, I have the COURAGE to talk to all kinds of ppl about all kinds of subjects... Including addiction, a very sensitive subject, because I feel confident about it and I sincerely want to help others because I KNOW what has SINCERELY helped me. NOT what I'm PRETENDING is helping me because the governing body has decided so. 🤨
YAHbsolutely ❤
"If god is a god of love, why did he take my parents from me?"
EXACTLY.
who and what is God
@@Sportliveonline
Excellent question. Hopefully the theists will weigh in and answer your question, all backed up with empirical evidence, of course.
It always amazes me that people blame God for taking their loved ones away from them.. instead of blaming Satan!! If Satan is the ruler of this world, why are we not blaming him?? Hmmm
@@thrivingexjw2061
It always amazes me that believers coat their god in Teflon, while painting Satan with glue.
Have you actually read your Bible? Satan and god are besties, always working deals, making wagers in a never ending Good Cop, Bad Cop story So, what is your explanation for god creating all things, including Satan and this world, yet he bears absolutely no responsibility for what happens in it?
How do you define god? And, what evidence do you have that god and Satan even exist?
Finally, the discussion is about Watchtower's corporate policies and silly religious doctrines. Even if god exists, what does those things have to do with god?
As much as I love you Wally, watching their hypocrisy just makes me hate them too much and I’m scared of what I might do. So I have to stop for a while. But much deep love to you! I hope you start a gaming or vlog channel soon because I’d love to see more of you bro
Yes take a long break and recalibrate with help. You will become better and happier with not knowing everything that pushes your buttons.
I understand. I’ve had to take many breaks. Now I Write.
When the guy said the publisher cooperated with the angels I laughed out loud. Thankfully I had just swallowed my coffee. Having never been a JW this all sounds so silly.
It sounds even crazier as a former witness.
lol I took my unbelieving mate to ac"get together" everyone got so drunk, and I was chased by an elder and he bit me.. no shit. I was just walking down the hallway. That was it for my hubby. Not the first time I was hit on, since I was alone at the meetings.
A ministerial servant was bringing me more and more drinks and then was standing there with his arm around me rubbing my butt. But guess who was reported to the elders.
“I like to help people understand the Bible, a book most people already have at home!” Umm 🤔 but it’s not the same version though! Lol 😝
I'd like to get a bunch of people who know nothing about the JW and show them these videos. What would they think? Probably fortunate that they weren't born into a cult.
I try and witness to the JWs about Jesus and the true Gospel, and they literally don’t answer so many questions and like you said, extremely arrogant and hard headed…
Because they are so busy worrying about the elders thinking they're doing something bad they don't really pay attention at the Kingdom Hall and they don't know what they really believe. I was in it for 36 years and I know what they're all about but I really don't know what they believe. They make up their own rules.
@@The08071954 oh yes for sure. Glad that you escaped. My dad and grandma are JWs so I’m very familiar with their beliefs… they preach a different Gospel than the true Gospel.
They hear the word “Jesus” from someone who is not a JW, and they truly believe they are being persecuted. So they clam up then walk away, cart and all.
Jehovahs Arrogant Witnesses! I think they should change their name!
@@whats_the_truth the problem is they’re preaching a different Gospel so they’re not Jehovah’s Witnesses at all.
What questions did she asked to Catholics they did not know the answers?
It’s really hilarious they portray “the world” when leaving the cult. 😂
The woman plucked up courage and said to the woman, "I really enjoy helping people understand more about the Bible."
Any evangelical could say the same thing. How did she know she was a JW if she didn't introduce herself that way? Must have been those Angels 🧚 whispering 😅
Wait. The JW is working a full time state or federal job/ career??
Shouldn’t she be buying out the time preaching full time instead of a career with a solid pension that she will never use???
Yes I was surprised too, I thought that a witness is not supposed to work in a dangerous place, or places that you need to used a weapon or jobs related to that
@@Cylon333
Probably in an administration role. My friends mom worked at a State Technical high school in the administration department. She got all kinds of grief for providing for her son as a single mom and not putting the JWs first. She will never need that pension.
She is now 72 and enjoying a peaceful retirement
When I was a JW I used to work for an alcohol distributor. I would get so much judgement for that until I started sharing all the free liquor I got.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bettyeboop2942
No doubt
So we’re back to peddling the angels again 😂
Never understood why they hold so strongly to the blood rule. Even jesus and his father make exceptions to their own rules.
Pharisees accuse jesus of breaking the sabbath but fail to realize that the father works constantly.
Jesus heals a man and then asked the pharisees is it lawful to save life on the sabbath and points out they would save one of their animals if it fell into a ditch on the sabbath. So why is jesus condemned because he heals and forgives a man of his sin. Jesus points out king David ate bread only meant for priests in a Jewish temple but was not punished for it because he was starving.
The pharisees cared more about dogma and neglect the greater parts of the law which are grace, mercy, and faith.
JW's treat dogma as more important. Their rules are greater than the life of the individual.
Because the Bible tells us to abstain from blood. (Acts 15:29) Blood transfusions violate the sacredness of blood.
@@CoolBreeze250 the eating of any blood. It says nothing of use for medical reasons, if it goes into your body to save your life much different than consuing blood. Just like their old silly thing in the what does the bible really teach, using a person pictured with an iv drip, saying if a doctor said you have to abstain from alcohol you wouldn't let a doctor inject it into you would you? That was one of the most ridiculous arguments about needing blood to save your life.
Also, better check the meat you eat, I'm sure there's some blood in it.
@@CoolBreeze250
Great but even the lord and savior jesus christ works on the sabbath and his father works on the sabbath.
Jesus makes the claim if life is involved then it's fine to work on the sabbath. If the son of God is willing to save human life on the sabbath then how much more should normal humans do for each other? To hold to this blood rule while watching a friend or relative dying when you could save them by giving blood is a slap in the face to the Father and the Son. Do not be a pharisee and omit grace, faith, and mercy from the law. Exceptions to the rule can be made.
@@CoolBreeze250
Abstain from blood to what extent?
Abstain from blood in food? Abstain from touching someone's blood?
What if I bite my lip and blood gushes out? Am I now violating the concession made by the disciples?
Also keep in mind, acts 15:29 is not a god given law. It is a concession given by the apostles. Specifically James. Read acts 15:19-20. James says "Therefore, it is MY judgment that we do not cause trouble for those from the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated
by idols, from acts of sexual immorality, from what has been strangled, and from blood.
James makes it clear that it's HIS decision. The Father nor his Son made this law for the gentiles. It was a concession made by the disciples to keep the peace between converting jews and converting gentiles. Even Paul has made consessions in his letters. Not everything they said is directly out of the mouth of God. Even the writers themselves have their own opinions on certain matters.
In fact in romans14 verse 1 Paul says brothers and sisters in christ shouldn't even be arguing over matters of opinion. What are these matters of opinion? Paul answers that in romans 14 verses 2-6. Things related to food and celebrating certain days are all matters of opinion. There isn't a right or wrong when it comes to that. One man eats only vegetables and another eats all meats and all vegetables. One man makes one day important, another makes all days important. In Paul's eyes both partied are accepted by God and commit no wrong because they do these things in dedication to God. This is not a God given law.
Do not hang this blood rule over the heads of other brothers and sisters in christ. The blood rule given by the apostles is not a command given by God. It is your opinion that u believe blood transfusions can't shouldn't be done. You will cause others to stumble if u push this on others ESPECIALLY since the rule given by the apostles does NOT determine if a person is saved.
I don’t like JW’s because I am prejudiced against them, not because the garbage they spew is complete nonsense……….this one is just ridiculous!!!!!!!! It’s also always telling that there always has to be some tragedy for anyone to become a JW!!!
My whole family has been destroyed by this JW $CULT$.
The nice, smart, JWs leave.
So yes I am bigoted against JWs still in.
It’s the children who are truly stuck. The adults can CHOOSE. The poor kids have to put up with this stuff and it’s dangerous and unhealthy for them.
Seriously! I have run out of sympathy for the adult JWs still in at this point. That includes my idiot parents...
I agree with the above sentiment. If a JW truly loves Jesus Rev.14 says that person “ will follow the LAMB no matter where he goes”
I got out 20 years ago because it was crystal clear to me WT was not Christianity
And I taught my kids the religion was a cult and they stepped out with me. Because of this my wife of 35 years turned against me and our 35 year marriage suffered and failrd😊
Failed🥺
You are on a roll and I sincerely like every video! Day after day after day you go bro!
Parting is a release of tension from the work week. But everything has a balance to it. If there is a lot of drinking at a party just use your common sense and walk away. Years after I stopped attending the JW's
I still knew that I don't have to stay at a friend's house or their party when things got uncomfortable. What you need is your parents or family members to teach you that. You don't need to belong to a religious group to tell you that.
Thx for sharing the baby registry. Felt good to help. Best wishes for the fam!
I went on a cruise with 10 other witnesses in my hall in Toronto the week we got back they had a local needs talk on going on cruises
Hold on so they are directed by angels not the Holy Spirit? 😂
Thank you Wally for the work putting these videos out there. I almost always get a smile or chuckle out of them. ♥😆 Not that I want to laugh at jws, sometimes I pity them and had tried to get a couple to wake up but it seems impossible.
I'm married to a JW. I'm atheist - not an Apostate, never a JW. Long story. You said something interesting: why go party instead of reading your Bible? You were sarcastic, of course. My wife has told me that I read the Bible too much, and that it is a waste of time that I read it if I'll never believe it. My answer was simply that, first, it is an important book so it should be understood; second, our politics are too affected by it so I want to understand Christianity overall: and third, she challenged me 15 years ago to study the Bible and the Watchtower (not necessarily WITH them but study THEM), so I have.
She just disagrees with my conclusions, and so do all her elders when they try and fail to convert me.
But I digress - I tell her to read the Bible, even pointing things so she understands her own theology better. SHE REFUSES and instead would watch nonsense RUclips videos or Instagram posts or whatever. She doesn't even understand their theology, and from my many discussions with JWs and elders, not many of them do either. They only study the magazine.
Brazilian music is incredible. It’s always been one of my dreams to go there just for the sake of partying. 😂😭
WT GB’s implying thoughts of the Angels were looking after her… how do these mere Man can imply such things only in a “Cult” this is done… it’s so BS !!! 😂
Freedom and spiritual growth was taken away from her ;(. Theres no value for me going back to this cult, even though I Lost fake friends and my oldest daughter.
I lived on a Street with a Women Who was Abusive & Mean to All the Neighbors & One Day her Kid Was On My Porch playing With My Kids. She had a Fit Yelling her Lungs Out That How Dare I say the Name Jehovah. I said Ok Then Don't Have Ur Kid Near My Kids but Calmly. Later Her Daughter Came to My Door With Her Mom begging For a Bible Study. I Studied With Them & Her Whole Personality Changed & Her & Her Hubby & Kids Were Happy They Had Their Loving Mom Back. Yes Wally I See Both Arguments but I Liked Happy Ending!🎉🤭🤤😂❤
The way Jehovah’s Witnesses portray life outside of their religion is like watching one of those “as seen on tv”product commercials. You ever notice how in those commercials they will show a person using something that’s readily available, but it doesn’t work right, or it’s too hard to use and the actors are super exaggerated to make it seem like the only solution is to use the product they’re selling in the commercial?
Good job, thanks Wally
Letting a 7 year old die, is EXTRA insane....wild
The only person I ever met who was prejudiced was an old Lutheran lady when that particular Lutheran church was on a roll about Jehovah Witnesses.
I appreciated the gangsta's paradise clip🤣
Wait. What? The Speaker says, “Cooperated with the ANGELS”? That must be New Light, I thought angels weren’t supposed to get any attention, like Jesus...the...”Archangel”? Now Angels???? I’m so confused. When I was a JW, you could talk all you wanted about Satan and demons, but NOT Angels!! OR Jesus hardly!
That tomb of her parents is of the 1800. Her parents might have died really old: over 150 years old.... WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started with the witnesses in the early 90s, my social circle before them was listening to and dancing to English new wave, I grew up in Mazatlán, Mexico and during those years in certain environments that type of music was heard, as well as pop in English. When I started to interact with the JW, it didn't seem good to listen to music in English, since it wasn't common for them to know the language, their parties were only with regional music, I suffered, I suffered, they are very closed, not even the more commercial pop they played at parties just because it was in English.
It was Hard for me.
Wow! You put it JUST PERFECTLY what is the manipulative “teaching” that they do. The FOG they give you destroys even dreams! My mom, under the JW mindset, she FOGd me so badly with my own twin brother until I just gave up…my University education fizzled out because I emotionally withdrew, and didn’t take my finals, even though I forced myself to trudge to even the last actual day of classes. But exam and manuscript turn in…didn’t go! Can’t undo that. They can be real bullies, and that’s what they made my family become even though I was a grown adult living about 15 miles away.
This is one of your best videos.
Hello Wally 👏👏😊😅!
I too like to check in after coffee 😊!
@JWThoughts keep up the great work! Love the videos you do. I love how you get just the perfect stock video clips to put in at the right time.
When I was In my 20s And into my 30s, I started To notice something. I would hear these examples and read about these experiences… And I would think “ I’ve been in this goofy religion for all these years and I can count on less than one hand the number of people that have come into the organization with experiences like this. Maybe like one or two back in the 80s when I was a little kid.
Started realizing that there’s a really high Chance that these happen so infrequently and are so rare that they have to put them into the magazines. Otherwise, if it was such a common occurrence… They wouldn’t have to brag about it and publish it as evidence for their believers to think that this is how things really go.
My own antidotal experience growing up in this religion has been that like it’s been brought out by other RUclipsrs, and maybe even yourself that majority of the People coming in are indoctrinated family members and people that have been taken advantage of during difficult traumas.
But these experiences that they play at conventions, etc., are like one in 1 million. You have better chances of Winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning then having an experience like this. I’ve been over a dozen congregations and I can count on one hand how many people from the ministry have come in.
I’m honestly honestly shocked that at this point, when Many of us are in our early 40s and older are still believing that these things really happen that often. How is the average Jehovah’s Witness still being impressed by this stuff?
If I hadn’t spent so much time on bible and watchtower prep, I would’ve worked on my GPA for a good college earlier.
I’m glad I left when I did so I went dancing all the time in south beach
I will say, I wish that non-alcoholic non-s3xual parties were more accepted in adult world. I just want to have fun with friends, make new friends and that's it. I actually liked the get togethers that I was invited too, thou majority of them I wasn't invited to.
You have to be secretly approved by the "influential"cliques before you'll be invited to social gatherings. Yup,the same people claiming they are fulfilling the"known by the great love among themselves". If you openly question the GB's harmony with their own bible, you might start wondering if you're being secretly shunned from all gatherings despite being welcomed to attend in person meetings. After all, isn't that where multiple donation boxes are located within close sight of "ministerial servants"?
Commenting because I was the 500th thumbs up.
That's all.
Wally, you look well. I hope you are doing well.
So the birthday party rumors were fake
"I don't think I would have changed" so what she's saying is she wouldn't have changed at all because she was happy with her life until JWs ruined it? insert that "so you agree?" Mean Girls meme here
“Co operate with the Angels” Just what does that mean .? It seems to be a phrase the GB wishes to become a catchphrase with JWs. Just how does this “co operation “ work. .? But it will be parroted by witnesses indiscriminately (and annoyingly) from now on
Hmmmm...are they going for the angels now?
"Notice how she cooperated with the angels..".
This convention is riddled with angels. Do we get new light on how the angels are doing the preaching work 'invisibly'? So they can skip the door-to-door work or something?
Yes and as is the twisted scriptural belief goes with JWs nothing is said about Jesus’ role as the one who is bringing light into the world and the one who said go forth and preach and make disciples and the one who said I will send the Helper to teach you EVERYTHING. … the Spirit of Truth whom not one of the world knows him. But you will know him because he will be in you and I will be in you.
The Witnesses are being deceived.Satan hates Jesus and everything he taught. If Satan is not behind these lies then who is?
Father Yahweh said “ This is my Son….LISTEN TO HIM. But Witnesses are not reading the words of Jesus about being born again into Oneness with God Christ and the Holy Spirit. They teach that is demonic.

Whatever it takes to keep afloat, is what they'll in-DEED do. Even baptize babies, change any rule in the process😢
That’s heartbreaking. That girl had a strong almost spiritual connection with music and god - making her spirituality alive and now it is stripped bare and about as alive as old, dry,, burnt toast.
While watching that Brazilian sister video why doesn’t JW question about one famous former sports player who is JW sister now, is allowed to attend the show of Met Gala with so-called worldly people around?😅It was shown in entertainment news this May that her dress comes from idea of goddess!
Sorry, but their 'play acting' is risible! Real am-dram!
The fact that the JWs want to change people and make them give up what they love, is awful, coercive and abusive. The poor woman has given up clubbing, however, she looks depressed and apathetic… robotic like, whilst telling her story. She seems highly medicated now.
This is what happens to people who are controlled: they become an empty shell of their former self.
I used to go to nightclubs… I love music and dancing. It didn’t make me drink to oblivion, nor do drugs, nor sleep with random strangers. Absurd, toxic teachings 😢
I have nothing against the rank and file JW as people. The organization is another story but there are reasons.
1. Blood transfusions
2. Shunning
3. Isolation
4. No higher education
conditional love, no thinking allowed.......and ....
With me it was the no higher education thing from the sister who conducted the Bible study. I was injured and out of work and bored. That poor Sister , I’ve got a college degree so I wasn’t having it when she began BOASTING that she didn’t even have a high school diploma . I had a preteen and a grade schooler in the house at the time . My immediate reaction was “ I gotta get this dumbass b***h out of my house before my kids hear her! “ Now I’m kinda overly polite so I didn’t say that . I asked her about her beliefs about evolution . My dog had come into the room to examine her when she first came and made the Sister kinda nervous.
“Oh she won’t bother you she just wants to know who you are!”
This was about a few weeks later and I mentioned the fact the the dog was affectionate and protective of people she knew. Of course she started telling me about how her cat is the same way . That’s when I knew I had her .
“Dogs and cats treat us like relatives because we share a distant common ancestry . They have enough sense to acknowledge that . Why doesn’t your religion!”
I never saw her again!
They should have portrayed a younger person “clubbing”. Going out is one thing but if you go to a club the average age is like 10 years younger than this woman. She’s like in her 30s. Anyone else??
Wow. I really am hearing “Jehovah and the Angels” now instead of just “Jehovah”. So in this convention or whatever it’s called, they are introducing the “Angels”, a term we weren’t even supposed to say years ago. I’ve also noticed their just introducing this stuff over and over as if they’ve always used it, but they’re not saying “New Light” now that they admitted they’re uninspired and make mistakes!
“Being there didn’t make any sense anymore”. She says as she’s sat alone at a table during a party! Umm 🧐 maybe she’s wearing the wrong deodorant, or not wearing any! Lol 😆
or her demeaner...that would put people off
As a non-jw (formally exjw) I really hope that one day you move past this phase of healing. Your channel is the least toxic of the exjw ones, so it's why I watch it to keep up to date on some changes. But I hope one day, much like I have done, you find healthier ways to define who you are. Family who shun you for being exjw were just looking for an excuse to do it. This is why idc that I'll never talk to my jw family again. They treated me like crap even when I was pioneering, wth, would I want them to know about my life now. Even if they change the shunning policy, you're still going to have to listen to them beg you to return. Grow up. It's important
If this Org. was founded by a BLACK man, and lasted as long as this one with 9 African American men sitting at the helm, believe me, it would not have lasted this long.
When you point out a floss in their teaching
Their do not answer any of the logic questions asked
Haha, I'm certain my JW coworker thinks I am an "argumentative" type. I wonder if this video will embolden him to ask me if I want to do a bible study.
I’m cracking up laughing here. You are so funny I think you need to let it go. You know like the Disney Song. You are out now. Just breathe. Remember you were once one of them and there are many great people trapped. Be patient be kind. It’s not the flicks fault. They are being led by some bad people.
all religions are bad people
I spent four years as a flight deck sailor launching planes and going on liberty in sketchy places before becoming a JW. I already knew how to party and was very good at it. When we left the JW’s in 1999 I chased the Sprint Car racing circuit and towed an old pop up camper out to the track. I spent many nights post JW partying after races and howling at the moon. I was a photographer so even got to party with the drivers and crews. Fun times.
So what’s the point of looking in the rear view mirror at JW’s not being partiers? We already all knew that. It’s why we leave the JW’s and fucking ignore them after leaving. Some folks like to keep one foot in for years after leaving. I notice that when these ex-JW vids come up in my recommendations. Young people today don’t know how to leave the JW’s. You walk out the door for the final time and don’t let it hit you in the ass on the way out. Then you ignore the JW’s and what they’re doing today and go out and live your best lives.
You’re welcome.😂
Can confirm with the music. Backstreet Freestyle turned me to Satan worshipping. On a different note, they interviewed this woman, had the interpreter cry, and had the actual woman reenact her own experiences crying against her door with her demonic blue eyeshadow? Seems legit.
No one tell Raquel that there are plenty of jws in the US that go to clubs all the time 😅😅😅
David Attenborough style 😅😅😅😅
Being a witness since early 70's I've met a few. One chased us down the street yelling he was going to have us arrested in Lakewood Wa. Another retired airforce met me in the street with his chrome plated 45 trying to accuse me of stealing his mail, right after 9/11in Texas. So I have seen some that just hate Witnesses for various reasons like military stance.
❤
Your channel blew past calebs, in my opinion today. You're not hateful!!! ❤ your smile is just genuine and awesome
A single lady with no kids felt empty? And religion is what she decided on to fill that? Maybe have a family.... it's pretty dang rewarding.
she choose the lazy option...someone else doing the thinking
