That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. I was like, come on, it's so fake! There are no real tears. His eyes don't even look like he's tearing up. Very performative.
I stopped going to meetings April last year . I haven't experienced any elders trying to help me . I had texts asking for my hours for a few months , then one from my group overseer just telling me to stay in touch !!
Left during COVID. They kept asking for time. I kept giving them zeros. Proudly lol. Then the elders wanted to call. I gave them the full story. They tried to act like they cared. I already had the elder book so I knew their game plan. Such a joke. 😂
Same. I left 3 decades ago. No elders ever reached out. Just the occasional JW sister who my parents sent after me to convince me to come back. If my parents hadn't mentioned me, I wouldn't have been contacted again.
@tiffanystout. Ironically, it ended up being the shunning that kept me from going back. So their sick treatment backfired. I'm thankful though to be free from this demonic organization. How sick of them to think that if they hurt you enough mentally and emotionally you won't be able to stand the hurt and come back. Sick...just sick. Glad you are free!
That's not the issue. The issue is those who commit gross sin and are unrepentant of it. That's why elders tell the congregation to quit mixing company with unrepentant gross sinners, and that's why the elders remove them from the congregation.--1Corinthians 5:9, 13.
Exactly! Some people believe that there are levels of sin but the 10 commandments don’t make a difference among the types of sin. They are all equal. Lying as fornicating are labeled the same. They just don’t understand that! They make rules like the Pharisees used to do and the sheep like people follow and believe them. Instead of following our Lord Jesus example. Jesus sacrifice was for all because we all sin and there is no degree of sin. Sin is sin. Imperfect men judging other men. They cannot understand the mind, love and mercy of Jehovah God and our Lord Jesus Christ. “Beware of false prophets and Christs” that’s what our Lord Jesus said!
The thing is, there's no such thing as "sin". It's a bible construct. In reality, there is human behavior that is hurtful to varying degrees and behavior that isn't hurtful. You could say, religion created the disease ---.> sin, and then gives you their cure for it. It's ancient, illiterate hogwash.
@@ThatBlueSponge There are levels of sin as some sins are worse than others. Under the Mosaic Law, some sins were punishable by death. There's a difference between inherited sin and willful sin.
Danny..where are his tears?? Crocodiles in a suit, pretending to be ‘touched.’ He just realised, he’s having a ‘these people are falling at my feet!! I am JESUS’ moment.
If you look at the definition of apostate, you realize that these JWs are indeed apostaes because they have changed their beliefs. They only did so because they were told to do.....
After three years i finally got an elder visit where they first invited me to the memorial (which i declined) then informed me i was getting df'd for hanging out with a df'd friend. I laughed and brought my friend to the judicial meeting. Always felt bad for those guys, they didn't really want to df me but they couldn't let it be known in the congregation that i was shooting pool with Brian when i hadn't been to a meeting in 36 months.
My dad told me, when I brought up the fact that I was threatened with being kicked out as a child and completely shunned because I didn't believe the same thing, that it was bologna and that I was misremembering things on purpose to make them look bad. Yeah, I wasn't. 😉
So pretty much "our understanding hasnt changed, it just got better.... Because Jehovah doesnt change neither do we... We just Improve the understanding even tho its completely the opposite of what we said years ago.... We dont change.... Well maybe a little... But just a tinsy little"
Also him saying a little over 5000 in the United states branch territory were invited sounds like they just invited those people to come back instead of actually coming back to the org.
Hey ExJW Caleb! I am sitting here laughing my a$$ off! And guess what? These 'clarifications' or 'understandings' will be obsolete in 10 to 15 years! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gary Breogh uses some interesting words tho..."welcomed back" might mean 'welcome back to the kingdom Hall'...it doesn't necessarily mean reinstated...same with "come back to the congregation" he only uses the actual word "reinstated" once describing those 4 situations. Watchtower is really good with their weasel words.
And may i add,i wouldn't go back even if i knew for a fact that harmagaindom was imminent, utterly evil hierarchy!!! The authorities should put all 11 of the so called governing body in jail for crimes against humanity!!!!!
Back in the day I remember Elders (in an actually loving Congregation!) visiting inactive jws at least every year before the Memorial. I always assumed that included df'd members... I guess I was wrong! 😢 How in the Sam Hill does one visit after 10, 20, 40 years help someone who had been, say, struggling with addiction? Or abused, and not helped? 💔
Kenneth Cook's ears are burning because he knows how duplicitous and manipulative the governing body is. The blood pressure spikes in his head when he's wrestling with the cognitive dissonance
People are exposing the false teaching and unloving practices of the governing body and they need to be removed from the congregation they are clearly unrepentant of their wrong doings
They're flaunting their authority. This is a common JW thing, new light or new direction comes out and everybody wants to be a big part of it because it has Jehovah's blessing and that's the coolest thing on earth.
@@ExJWCaleb They all kinda blend into one big fat blob of... No, wait. That's still Cook. He's past the point of no return. Not even the best tailor in New York can help him now. I wonder if he and Sanderson have separate troughs at Bethel.
Where in the bible did Jesus instruct Christians to invite people to his memorial?Where did Christ said u should not eat and drink but pass the emblems?
Why is Gage crying is a great question. I have a better one. Why the fuck is it the reaction of the audience to clap when a dude starts crying? Seriously? LOL
Because he knew all along shunning and treating people like a pest was wrong and maybe he’s relieved that he’s part of those new changes. Maybe family members of him have gone through that. Who knows!!! But I’m glad new younger ones are taking over and hopefully things change for the better. I’m tired of them not understanding the love and mercy of Jehovah. I hope the new changes make a real Christ like religion out of them. I can’t wait until they kick the old Pharisees like members out!
@ThatBlueSponge no, because if that was it at all, the whole shunning thing would be done. It would be over. He's crying because it's a fucking show. He wants people to feel like he's done something when all he's done is made legal changes to help them hop through hoops so they get in less trouble. It's not going to work, but it shows how conniving and manipulative this piece of garbage is.
@@ThatBlueSpongeI appreciate your hopefulness but he was acting, and flaunting his authority. Or he was the deciding vote at the GB meeting and was so proud of himself.
That letter is a 100% manufactured. I know for a fact the GB’s writing dept has provided these brothers w/ “talking points”, & that these “experiences” r apart of said talking points.
Event is held at Bethel for Headquarters Bethelites and elite members and a few guests. Outside of a family or two over the decades who actially raised a child at Bethel (Doctor's families usually, I believe), there are no children at Bethel or allowed at Annual Meeting. Event 2024 took place at Newburgh, near HQ locations. And there are never prams in aisles at jw mtgs or assemblies.
Is it my imagination or does "removed" sound worse than disfellowshipped. These guys have no idea regarding Image. C'mon Kenneth your looking to straight buddy, where's that beard, you know you want to😂
Jehovah doesn’t change but he is ok with the wrong understanding. Jehovah doesn’t change, but our understanding has improved, omg, the correct word to use here is CHANGED!!! Because it’s all made up and changed by men!! The letter, true or not, is instructing witnesses how to think about all this, not use their critical thinking skills or trust themselves!
Caleb, though JW org is not a true Christian movement, you come across as anti-Christian. I could be grossly incorrect. Leaving JW does not mean you leave Jesus.
Does being autistic & bi mean anything ? I’m back! I’m a woman & not bi! Why is it even necessary? You are not even your body. You aware a spirit, having a human experience. I can assure you, Jesus was too.

Well done. It makes me glad to know many are waking up and leaving that organisation from hell.

"D A N G E R O U S" is the exact word Spanish authorities used when describing Jehovah's Witnesses.
"DANGEROUS HIGH CONTROLL CULT".
Same here, finally had the courage to walk away from the organisation after waking finally with all the ridiculous changes and hypocrisy
I've ben out for 36 years. NO ONE....elder or otherwise .....has ever 'come looking' for me. Liars.
