The one good thing I did learn from being a JW for about 40 years. Is how to never believe something because I’m told it’s true. I will never be that naive again. Thanks for the video
I’ve been saying this for years. It was a one off because he was continuing to sin and everyone knew. James says anyone sick call the older men. If he has sinned they will raise him up and it will be forgiven him. So the process. Someone is sick depressed because of their conscience sees the elders tells them he has sinned. No mention of them asking loads of questions. Once he has got the sin of his chest. They tell him the blood of Christ forgives him then encourage him and raise him up. It says. Nothing about deciding if he is repentant! Because guess what that’s not their job
Great video Caleb. Thanks for sharing your videos. They are clear and easy to understand. You have been fundamental in me understanding this cult, as I am trying to support my disfellowshipped boyfriend. He has been so mentally mistreated. Left his country, his family and whole world. And now starting to wake up and process everything. The process is the worst thing I’ve been through… and it’s not even mine. I’m sorry this is being tolerated throughout the world. Even in my country of Australia, where they held the RC. Most of the public have no idea.
I like the bass analogy because it ironically fits JWs. They try to lure in people by acting nice and wholesome, scaring people with armageddon and promising paradise, so their cult can get bigger
These guys go beyond what is written and the spirit of the texts. They do so in an effort to micromanage (through fear and threat) their followers who are deprived of critical thinking skills.
VERY WELL DONE, to show us how not to get caught up in the Satan Jehovah witnesses trap, in other words don't take the Bate, hopefully many more people will see this, and very wise to make your video shorter, All the Best from the land down under 🎉🎉cheers 🥂
As always, great video & content ! The way the eople can't think for themselves is scary asf! As if they have to ask even how many sheets of TP too use! I have never seen sych a crew! Reminds me so much of the movie Stepford Wives !! Even the men are programed to answer same when questions asked. The shunning of education bothers me beyond with the BS concept of will be no need but will be for trades people. THEN the way it's spoken , even look down their noses at the trades ,!! The constant worry over sex is mind boggling too be it in the marriage bed or just 2 consenting adults yet when it comes to ca nah who knows, had to be 2 there watching , then both need to speak up. Disgusting.
10:07 From what I know that's even encouraged into the organization to do, like, if you wanna teach a lesson and want the others to believe that what you're saying is true (no matter how nonsense it actually is) you have to come with an analogy to compare it with the situation and show that you're point is right. They do that all the time. For almost whatever doctrine or believing they have there's also the analogy that goes with it. Like for the birthday they have the comparison to a candy that comes from a dirty place and with that they justified why celebrating birthday is bad because of its pagan origins.
At 7.33: The unchangeable law of Jehovah is utter nonsense. Often one can sow without reaping. Take divorce as an example. For about 1,500 years, God allowed divorce at the drop of a hat because of the hard-heartedness of the Jews. Along comes Jesus and reverses the law of God on divorce. Who says God is unchangeable?
But Jesus condemned Yaweh as not being almighty God, and explained clearly his father (the real God) was loving and merciful. Yaweh or Jehovah wasn't the real god but counterfeit wannabe 🤔
@@geoffreybunting9837 Checkout Luke11:11 and references to this in Mathew also. He said the god of the Hebrews gave the Israelites a rock when thirsty and snakes when they were hungry ans sick of eating manna🤔
They are interpreting scripture to meet their own ends. Ephesians is not about the work of the devil. This is thought control and ensuring compliance with the organisation.
No, Mr. Corkern; you skimmed right over the words and context of Paul's words there in 1 Corinth. 2 that you cited. When Paul mentioned Satan's "designs"; or 'methods',....he wasn't talking about the tactics of the world to influence one to commit immorality, dipweed! He was saying to them that one of Satan's designs was to be "TOO HARSH"; and NOT FORGIVE the sinner! He was asking them not to be like the hypocritical pharisees of the day and hold out punishment on a person until that person had met THEIR (the pharisees) OWN DEFINITON OF REPENTANCE! An unwillingness to forgive a person who made serious or not so serious mistakes was a divisive ploy of Satan! Satan knows human makeup and knows that if we stop forgiving or are slow to forgive; the person who offended us or God's standards becomes increasingly depressed. Then the depression can turn to rage or to habits that destroy one's spiritual or emotional makeup! Or he may kill himself and others! And then eventually, the mistreated and discouraged, stressed out person will give up in his service to God; leaving all religious systems and abandoning his faith in God! THAT STILL ACCOMPLISHES SATAN'S PURPOSE! As long as a person abandons his faith in God or in his belief that he has a brotherhood of people who love him despite his/her mistakes; then Satan is happy! THAT'S THE DESIGN OF SATAN THE APOSTLE PAUL was talking about! And until I was cast out of the congregation for totally unscriptural reasons; and because of the personal bias and opinions of some untrained elders; and until I was denied reinstatement 2, now almost 3 times, over a 2 year period; did I REALLY READ THE CONTEXT OF 2 CORINTH. chapter 2 and wake up! But they picked the wrong person to screw over and slander. So I now have an 18 page letter going to the service department of Watchtower HQ, that I will send and keep sending to them until they answer me; forgive me publicly; and remove the 3 brothers on the judicial committee as elders; along with stern reproof! As a long-time ex-elder and school instructor and defender of Christian faith; with God's help I will broadcast and expose these hypocrites in front of the organization and the world! Thanks for your video, and keep up the exposure, my friend.
👏👏👏 well said and so true. I had a pastor tell me once "this is what the devil wants, for you to stay away and be outcast instead of leaning on the love and strength of others to overcome the evil one" When your sick you need a doctor. Come for help" Wt leadership are harsh and cruel masters. They lack grace and love. Wish you well 👍
What chance do mere man that can match wisdom of an Angel who was so call born very early creation. Imagine head to head with a Harvard graduate try out wit a toddler. So we can actually match wit with wisdom of that magnitude. B.S. he so call fool a third of his angelic brother to rebel. This is why critical thinking is prohibited.
My best friend killed himself in this cult, because he couldn't forgive himself what he did. This legalistic cold sociopathic cult is a killer and eater of a souls. And yet Gospel of grace is so simple, Christ died for your sins, that's all. (1.Cor 15:1-4) Romans 7. - We can't stop sinning 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the LAW OF SIN which is in my members 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin If Paul had Law of sin in his body, and could not stop sinning, how could we?!

Their mantra is: "Do as I say, not what I do."
You learned the one thing they try to NOT teach you.. you failed at culting...

Absolutely! Trying to take the place of GOD. He's the judge, jury and executioner

Harold Corken is doing his master's work. Satan chuckles to himself and says, Well done, good and faithful servant!
He keeps talking about “the devil”, but he is talking about what the leaders of Watchtower are doing to the r&f.
Talking about themselves 😂
These guys go beyond what is written and the spirit of the texts. They do so in an effort to micromanage (through fear and threat) their followers who are deprived of critical thinking skills.
They are always looking for something bad yo happen no wonder so much depression in that organization
Even Satan would be struggling to make sense of this.

Well expressed! So much unlike forever shunning in Watchtower organization. They do not contextualize "their biblical" doctrine.

They are so into demons and devils.

They love to make analogies that make no sense
Great Job Caleb thanks
4:28 - Looks like he's crying profusely, lol.
Also, why is he shaking like a leaf while he is speaking? Things that make you go , hmmm.
it seems to me that this talk could be understood as a preparation to soften the disfellowingshipping procedure further
So when JWs come to your door then you need to not answer because it's the devil coming to trick you with 'free' bait.
I watch you videos sped up anyway and i can assure you that the extra speed is even better
Your videos are great. Keep up the amazing work 👍
I’m listening with my phone in my pocket. Every time that camera sound comes up I think I took a screen shot on accident.
I'll change it to a click next time
@@ExJWCaleb it’s kinda funny. I didn’t necessarily dislike it.
This is a great video, very well done! Can I dub it into Portuguese and use it in my channel (Giving credit to your channel, naturally!)
Sure
I always wondered what happened to Dewey from Malcolm in the middle.geez you can tune in Tokyo with those ears😅
I was kept out for years, not months
excellent information you bring out debunking the disfellowshipping policy, it is certainly unscriptural
Great takedown 🤌

Using symbolism in jw is the only way to blind people with to much information and misunderstand the bible at the same time.

He fixed the song. Sort of

And yet Gospel of grace is so simple, Christ died for your sins, that's all. (1.Cor 15:1-4)
Romans 7. - We can't stop sinning
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not;
but what I hate, that do I
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the LAW OF SIN which is in my members
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin
If Paul had Law of sin in his body, and could not stop sinning, how could we?!
First!

The music is much more bearable when sped up. thanks for that

Excellent points! More ammunition
