I feel so embarrassed that I used to use these kinds of stupid arguments! I remember having a conversation with with a catholic professor, and walking away thinking that I had the upper hand!! I was so deluded. Sorry for all of the five people bought into the “truth”. I truly am. Freedom✊🏻
Lloyd that was really good. You certainly were not confrontational. I'm pretty sure she will see you as a good prospect to join the religion. It's no surprise she wouldn't speak the truth about what Watchtower say will happen at Armageddon. The witnesses are trained to not go into too many details to early with a potential convert.
Everytime you asked a probing question, she went on a long rant with endless tangents that never even answered the question. I feel so bad for people like her. Genuinely nice, patient, and kind ... and so misled.
Actually cringing at the part where you did the Our Father prayer and she praised you like you were a 5 year old child. And also the feigning of interest in what you do💀
People do their best on their own way and path....why stabbing in the back and negativ.....that's why this world is full of hypocrites, hate, violent, jealousi, frustrations etc..... Dont judge and let people who and what they want to be.
Be generous. The world has become so secular today many dont even know the Lords prayer, who moses or david is. Many dont have faith today & she was just praising because she recognised that he did. I dont think there was any bad motive here.
I think what this highlights (and same with the Mormon discussions) is that most people are just normal people wanting to do right by their fellow man and live a good life. And regardless of our beliefs we all need a framework to place ourselves into to be able to orient ourselves in life. Even atheists have an unprovable physicalist framework they orient themselves to. A framework is not optional. It's required by the mind. None of that's the problem. It never was. The problem is and always has been the shunning and the isolationism and the micromanaging of people's lives. If you take those things out of the mix you just end up with a social group, and all social groups have their problems, just find one that serves you best. It's all good.
She is a very rare case of an very educated person existing in this organization. I myself befriended a doctor and I was waking up at the time. I asked:" Why are you, an educated women, believing in things such as things the organization claims? I mean what about science?" She said: " Well, science is all good, but what about conviction? Taking a stand for what's right. I was taken back a little by her answer. It was , at least for her a personal choice. I was not so lucky in life, because I was born into the religion,and had no choice. I realized how different a view it was. I realized it doesn't matter how educated you are. If they can control the information,they can control your thinking. And if they can't control your thinking they well try to control how you feel about matters of right and wrong. What it all comes to is, how can they get you to agree with them.

And why is that? I don't know the educational level of ever JW but u can tell you I saw most of my friends growing up discard any notions of going to a university in favor of a line of work that is recommended by the governing body.

The question was has Karla ever seen JW friends give up the "personal choice" to follow the recommendation of work placement from the Governing Body? Lloyd just showed Watchtower articles that preach that higher education is from the devil. Why Karla, if it is a personal choice, would it be condemned by the Governing Body? As good JWs you should follow that counsel. Right?
My father has a masters in English from Cal State San Marcos and another masters in Spanish from UCSB. He was the first in his entire brainwashed family to go for higher education…..but yet he still has his head rammed up the asses of the bloated Governing Body. He’s very intelligent and quite snobbish because of his higher education but he can’t get rid of the brainwashing his loser window washer parents shoved into his mind since birth. He was an elder for many years…don’t know if he still is as I’ve tried to remove brainwashed idiots from my life for 4 yrs now.

PROOF that the Creator and his Christ are not worthless and useless but loving, kind, and merciful to imperfect, suffering, and dying human beings - JESUS CHRIST KNOWS that ordinary and lowly human beings who believe his BIBLICAL authority and teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the CREATOR with ETERNAL LIFE and existence without pains, sufferings, griefs, sickness and deaths on a safe and peaceful planet earth without arrogant, cruel, and hateful fanatics of religions, slanderers, liars, deceivers, hypocrites, terrorists, criminals, militaries, funeral homes and cemeteries. THE CREATOR KNOWS that in his own good time, he will let Jesus Christ resurrect back to life all his worshippers who died even thousands of years ago like Abel, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, King David, Daniel, the Christ's disciples, and many others so they can fully enjoy his and his Christ's eternal love, kindness, compassions, generosities, favors, and blessings for eternity as submissive and obedient subjects of the "Kingdom of God" under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of Jesus Christ, the One he has given all authority in heaven and on earth.
@@mrm8850 Just because you may not have had an bad experience it doesn't discount everyone's else's experience or make them liers. Disgusting, that you deny people's reality, call them liers, because you choose not to accept that there are bad things within the 4 walks of your cult and the members in it. I was raised in it, experienced CSA, and don't dare tell me I'm lying.
Oh now we must go, someone is actually talking to us… we know we don’t actually have any satisfactory answers. She’s a really nice person hopefully she wakes up once day.
This was brilliant, Lloyd! Thank you! This was the first video of yours I've watched in years since I exited and put it all behind me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to any "follow ups"!
This way of taking video/s has a common motives with the Jewish Sadducees and Pharisees during the time of Jesus. Matthew 22: 15, 18 New International Version "Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words... But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “WHY PUT ME TO THE TEST, YOU HYPOCRITES? The intention of those people who spoke to him was malicious and pretending that they wanted to know the truth. So that's what Jesus calls people who do such things, "HYPOCRITES". Nothing in the Bible can be read that method was also done by the ancient Christians to the opposing Jews and pagans. What Jesus said to those people with an evil plan and who are they imitating? John 8:44 English Standard Version "You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies." It is clear that this work is not taught by Jesus that he condemned those people with such motive.
This is the second exJW channel to have JW in conversation implying that the governments would be destroyed but trying at first to avoid saying that "wicked" people would be destroyed. She really craftily avoided saying only JW would be saved, turned it into a conversation about how not everyone claiming to be JW might be saved.
actually if you check it out the text she used Dan 2v44 in context the whole of chap 2 is discussing human rulerships. Nebuchadnez dreams this huge statue head of gold breast of silver etc. Dan 8 actually names some, medo persia & greece. If you check further in Dan it talks of being in the 'feet of iron & clay' (our time), Then this'stone' not made with hands hits the statue & it becomes dust. Hence Dan2v44. Gods Kingdom/rulership is going to end all human rulership. Psalm 37v9,10,11 'the wicked' will be cut off. Jesus gives a clue who will be saved when he states at Matt 7v21 'Not everyone....but only the One DOING the will of my FATHER who is in the heavens will' So many 'Christians' will declare they know the Lord & do wonderful works in His name yet he says he doesnt know them. The chapter also discusses judging we r not appointed judges, Jesus says look at the works. What is the Father's will? Conclusion - 'wicked' those who do not know God (2 Thess 1v8) & who are not doing His will or living up to his standards. Rom10v9 Public declaration that Jesus is Lord & faith that GOD raised him from death is certainly the 1st requirement & the rest will fall into place. Hence we need to check out everything, we can all learn something from someones else perspective. Kindness & reasoning be the order of the day. Enjoy your spiritual journey
How sad that she is a very sincere woman, what she says is very convincing. But the sad thing is that her leaders do not care about what she believes. They do wherever they want. The organization do not care for de welfare of the people 😓
PROOF that Atheists, Agnostics, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, unkind, and hateful human beings are dishonoring and degrading the Creator and Jesus Christ as worthless, useless, lower, lesser, and far inferior than them - ATHEISTS and AGNOSTICS KNOW that they are mocking and degrading the Creator as useless and unworthy to be honored and obeyed as the Most High and Sovereign God. CHRISTIANS, BUDDHISTS, MUSLIMS, HINDUS, etc. and their ANTI-CHRISTS Pastors and Leaders KNOW that they are mocking and degrading the BIBLICAL authority and teachings of Jesus Christ about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" as worthless and useless, no value whatsoever in their lives and existence.

@@LloydEvans They were very good arguments at 13:45 & 14:15. I think you lost it a bit on how will that happen (Armageddon), it's a very open-ended question, and there's nothing definitive there you can challenge, it's kind of a waste of time debating the minutia of a fictitious proposition
That was really good, Lloyd, thank you for this. 😊 I felt so sad for her, though, and seems to be such a lovely person. Hopefully soon she sees the real light. ❤
This whole video was a long talk on Thursday night but with a man instead of another sister! This sister is actually very intelligent. I didn't actually expect her to be so poised and articulate. Lloyd deserves and Oscar for this award winning acting. I would have had a melt down by now! I'm triggered and having flashbacks!😖🤦🏾♀🙍🏾♀
Lloyd u r so eloquent and intelligent wish my family could be in the recieving end of the interaction with u I'm sure u would make a difference. Also Lloyd u should go to the speakers corner in London there's much debates out there. Btw very nice and friendly lady.
Terrific engagement Lloyd. You were very respectful and bit your tongue more than few times so as not to tip her off. Let's hope this helps those starting to question.
Jesus has been sitting at the throne for a whole human lifertime, and now they open up for he can be waiting a whole lifetime more with the generation on generation teaching.

This is very helpful. I have not come across any Witnesses in years, but I want to be prepared should the opportunity present itself. You are a natural! I am someone that needs to go through scenarios in my head in order to "perform" well in a given situation. You have provided me with so much material to work with! Thank you! ❤️🌻
last month i went to a holyday in Europe and for the first time i saw jws “preaching” with a cart, just sitting nearby and trying to smile…with ties and suits near to the beach-walk, smiling to ppl in shorts:) When I left them they didn’t preach with carts and after that I moved to a country where they are not allowed to preach publicly. I was in the mood to be talkative with them, but we came from the beach and swimming and we were rather hungry (for real seafood!), my non exjw wife said to me, dont waste your time. Probably the thought ( who knows, i could let some seeds…) came to my mind!
I really love the Planting a Seed method. We never know what little question nugget that we can share that will catch and linger in the mind to be brought out to ponder at a later time.
If it's too good to be true, it usually is - except that our paradise earth, where you'll live forever with every desire fulfilled, that will arrive any day now, that is actually true... and my source is trust me bro
Fabulous interview Lloyd, you were so respectful to this lady. She’s so nice but I feel so sorry for her. Hopefully one day she will wake up from this nightmare. Well done brother 🤗
She was very nice. I do think she is very selective in teaching what she finds uplifting and positive. Is she aware of the scandalous activities the governing body members cover up. I e. The handling of crimes against children. Her answer on higher education was her perspective, not what j ws teach. So many other issues as well , from changing teachings , overlapping generations, use of blood fractions and let's not forget judgmental attitude. Wouldn't it be great if she were part of the discreet slave? That can t happen she's the wrong sex. She was made for the man, yet I don't know one person that came from the man. ??? When she finds out what is really going on in this organization I hope she will be able to handle the crush and not lose her faith in God. It can make her stronger in the end, when she realizes she was putting her faith in an organization. Faith is something that should be had, only in God. Let every man be found a liar. Looking back it really is beyond genius how God was teaching us a lesson of that fact. Did we learn anything friends,?
@@henrydejong8448 « I hope she will [...] not lose her faith in God.» But... WHAT ?? I hope that she'll find the real truth: no people on earth have any clue about any god... So you hope that she falls in obscurantism again ? That's why I hate bigots: they KNOW and 'wish" (if not ENFORCE) their delirium to other people. If you want to believe in an imaginary friend, good for YOU. Let people live their life. And stop imposing fantasy as "patches" to life's difficulties.
Hello Lloyd, thanks for the great interview, it was very interesting to hear this woman trying to sell her religion talking about all the good sides of the jw's, she didn't mentionned the 7 billions dying at armageddon and all the bad sides
Really well done Lloyd. To be fair to her she also done very well from JW standards, I was always rubbish at preaching! Would like to see more videos like this.
One thing they say and works is "if you have the faith you are better"... And they are not the only one, it's told in every marketing course.. The more you believe the more you are convincing. She seems sweet and intelligent, but one of those people believing because she's nice and really want the best for humanity. I know, my parents felt into because they were "nice people", and they found JW's "nice and gentle"... And they are still stuck because their mind has been trapped believing that they are in a loving community, and "the world is wicked and bad"... And I think those "sincere" JW's are the worst victim (and their kids), because they are being the most abused inside. All the cynical "sellers" males have "privileges" and are so "spirituals" (=show off a lot of hours...), are just fed by their ego to be the "cops of the community", knowing all gossips & cie, and in fact don't believe so much in "the nice gentle God", but believe more in a more "powerful" version of JHVH... Hollywood explosions style.
Wow, what a fascinating lady. She's multi linguistic and sounds really smart, but she's trapped in a cult. Hope she manages to break out of it and gets to lead a better life.
Hi Lloyd, great job I hope you start a bible study with her she seemed to be a sweet and intelligent girl. Maybe you can save her from this dangerous cult . You should do more of this type of video. Stay well KB😎
As for JWs telling me people, "We allow the Bible to speak for itself". Uh, doesn't almost every other fundamentalist, conservative denomination within Christianity who adheres to a literal interpretation of the Bible say the same thing? If the Bible "speaks for itself", then why should anyone ever undergo Bible study courses with the JWs if the text is so "self-explanatory" and requires no interpretation on the part of the individual reader? If the Bible's message is "so obvious", then why do Witnesses need to engage in public proselytizing activities? I don't believe that Satan exists, but if he did and if he tempted Jesus with promising to give him all earthly kingdoms, wouldn't that be kind of a pointless endeavor? I mean Jesus supposedly helped God create the world in his pre-earthly existence, and he supposedly gets to help Yahweh run the Earth after the Apocalypse anyway, so all the kingdoms of the world are technically co-owned by him. I think it's silly when fundamentalist Christians say, "Satan runs the world". I thought God was supposed to own the world since he created it, or at least you'd think he is supposed to, so shouldn't he be the one who is always running it regardless of whatever Satan does? If not, and if I believed that any of this were true...I would say that God is probably just as corrupt as the devil. You mean you're going to let an evil entity run around corrupting people just so you can prove a point? Is God that much of a narcissist? If so, please stay away from me and leave me alone, and keep your believers and worshippers away from me too. I think it's more likely that wealthy, greedy international corporations play a part in running the world. In some ways, they have a bit too much power. If you want to call that "Satanic", then fine.

Definitely do have some points here that I mostly agree with. Why is the bible riddled and so ambiguous? If God really wanted a message to be known, the Bible isn't clear on it as, again, you can get a billion interpretations of what's literal and nonliteral in the Bible.
It is interesting as a person who knows the reality of the underlying beliefs that she seems to not want to be upfront about the reality of her religion and it's teachings.
That was very nice conversation friend, I hope she wakes up one day in the present, you were very chivalrous and kind to her, I imagined that you remembered when you were on that side and now you feel sorry for them, because they are deceived and don't realize it, very sad, thank you friend.
It's sad because she's so friendly and yet is slaving away to an organization that will throw her away in a heartbeat if she decided to think for herself. We were all there at one point as JWs, just like her, standing there poised confident in our WT teachings. Confident we had the truth. I feel sorry for her, normally I get angry at JWs but sometimes my heart just sulks for some of them because they are truly delusional and don't even know it. 😔
She is confident in Jehovah. Why is it so hard for people to believe Gods house could be led astray? Didn’t it happen over and over in the past? Christ will deal with all the wrongdoing when he actually returns. Why turn against Jehovah because of some problem with the watchtower? I guess it’s hard for people who never really believed in him or understood him and his message to think others actually care and believe and aren’t just following some men
She did sound quite intelligent, most of us would not been able to handle this with such poise. I would never have given her my number. Before the chart day. I had spoken to two Witness in my early twenties and in my mid-thirties and when they changed the conversation out of religion. I taught they were close to normal.
So I got baptized, didn’t stand for the flag, lost my family, wasn’t allowed to associate with worldly people and being a JW isn’t a condition in the Bible?
Nicely done, I like the way Lloyd injected humour into the exchange but remained really respectful. I can imagine the lady as a 'worldly' person and she'd be really lovely - she's too intelligent to be a JW sister. In fact she seemed more genuine than I can imagine Jade or Nita being, although I think fame might have gone to their heads 🤣
@@LloydEvans How does one know they're a waste of time unless one watches them? Not everyone is interested in the same things. One cannot be all things to all people. Sometimes that's a tough lesson to learn. Keep up the great work, Mr Blue Eyed Not-So-Scruffy-Lately. -:)
Thanks Lloyd, great conversation. I enjoy these videos the best, where you're speaking with the witnesses & trying to plant some seeds for them think about. On saying that, she was sweet & quite convincing 🤣.
What a great job Lloyd! I deeply admire you! I love how you weren't combative or argumentative. Just picking her brain little by little. I need to learn how to do this with my deeply indoctrinated Mother smh 🤦🏽♀️
I think that girl must be a nice person who really want to do this because she believe she means good for others by sharing the information that she believes is true to them
Hi Lloyd! I'm curious, have you ever asked a JW what people say about their group? I read Stephen Hassan's books and one of the questions he suggests you ask a cult member is what others say about them. I'm curious about where that would lead. Thanks for all your work. Love your channel and your book. They've both helped me unpack so much bullsh*t from my upbringing. :)
"Ohh I see, there´s a bit of crushing involved..." Loved it! Also: "There have been many improvements but it´s getting worse at the same time" Worse than the 19th century? Squaring the circle 101.
This conversation could be a whole dissection in my psychology class. So much evidence of classical conditioning, cognitive dissonance and so much more. Great job on engaging without showing your hand.
I feel so embarrassed that I used to use these kinds of stupid arguments!
I remember having a conversation with with a catholic professor, and walking away thinking that I had the upper hand!!
I was so deluded. Sorry for all of the five people bought into the “truth”. I truly am.

The fact anyone argues over which cult is right is hilarious. They are all cults
@@SooSmokie yeah 🤣
I think that lady is highly intelligent. She seems sweet. I hope she wakes up. I also hope it isn't too much of a painful experience for her.
Lloyd that was really good. You certainly were not confrontational. I'm pretty sure she will see you as a good prospect to join the religion. It's no surprise she wouldn't speak the truth about what Watchtower say will happen at Armageddon. The witnesses are trained to not go into too many details to early with a potential convert.
Everytime you asked a probing question, she went on a long rant with endless tangents that never even answered the question. I feel so bad for people like her. Genuinely nice, patient, and kind ... and so misled.

I disagree I didnt see that she seemed very genuine
Be generous. The world has become so secular today many dont even know the Lords prayer, who moses or david is. Many dont have faith today & she was just praising because she recognised that he did. I dont think there was any bad motive here.

I think what this highlights (and same with the Mormon discussions) is that most people are just normal people wanting to do right by their fellow man and live a good life. And regardless of our beliefs we all need a framework to place ourselves into to be able to orient ourselves in life. Even atheists have an unprovable physicalist framework they orient themselves to. A framework is not optional. It's required by the mind.
None of that's the problem. It never was.

This was brilliant, Lloyd! Thank you! This was the first video of yours I've watched in years since I exited and put it all behind me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to any "follow ups"!
Thanks Olya! Congratulations on your deprogramming progress! 🙂
This way of taking video/s has a common motives with the Jewish Sadducees and Pharisees during the time of Jesus.
Matthew 22: 15, 18
New International Version
"Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words...
But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “WHY PUT ME TO THE TEST, YOU HYPOCRITES?
The intention of those people who spoke to him was malicious and pretending that they wanted to know the truth. So that's what Jesus calls people who do such things, "HYPOCRITES".
Nothing in the Bible can be read that method was also done by the ancient Christians to the opposing Jews and pagans.
What Jesus said to those people with an evil plan and who are they imitating?
John 8:44
English Standard Version
"You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
It is clear that this work is not taught by Jesus that he condemned those people with such motive.
Hearing the classic witnesses lines was so cringey haha but I stuck it out! Great job probing for answers
You were so respectful Lloyd, great "interview" well done
He's always respectful. Even on his rebuttals. He's the greatest apostate of all time.
Why exactly was he respectable? He was leading her on? he is a sly snake
This is the second exJW channel to have JW in conversation implying that the governments would be destroyed but trying at first to avoid saying that "wicked" people would be destroyed. She really craftily avoided saying only JW would be saved, turned it into a conversation about how not everyone claiming to be JW might be saved.
That was the disingenuous part.
actually if you check it out the text she used Dan 2v44 in context the whole of chap 2 is discussing human rulerships. Nebuchadnez dreams this huge statue head of gold breast of silver etc. Dan 8 actually names some, medo persia & greece. If you check further in Dan it talks of being in the 'feet of iron & clay' (our time),
Then this'stone' not made with hands hits the statue & it becomes dust. Hence Dan2v44. Gods Kingdom/rulership is going to end all human rulership.
Psalm 37v9,10,11 'the wicked' will be cut off. Jesus gives a clue who will be saved when he states at Matt 7v21 'Not everyone....but only the One DOING the will of my FATHER who is in the heavens will' So many 'Christians' will declare they know the Lord & do wonderful works in His name yet he says he doesnt know them.
The chapter also discusses judging we r not appointed judges, Jesus says look at the works. What is the Father's will? Conclusion - 'wicked' those who do not know God (2 Thess 1v8) & who are not doing His will or living up to his standards.
Rom10v9 Public declaration that Jesus is Lord & faith that GOD raised him from death is certainly the 1st requirement & the rest will fall into place. Hence we need to check out everything, we can all learn something from someones else perspective. Kindness & reasoning be the order of the day. Enjoy your spiritual journey
How sad that she is a very sincere woman, what she says is very convincing. But the sad thing is that her leaders do not care about what she believes. They do wherever they want. The organization do not care for de welfare of the people 😓

Great job Lloyd! She seems sweet and intelligent. Hopefully this opens her mind to research.
last month i went to a holyday in Europe and for the first time i saw jws “preaching” with a cart, just sitting nearby and trying to smile…with ties and suits near to the beach-walk, smiling to ppl in shorts:) When I left them they didn’t preach with carts and after that I moved to a country where they are not allowed to preach publicly. I was in the mood to be talkative with them, but we came from the beach and swimming and we were rather hungry (for real seafood!), my non exjw wife said to me, dont waste your time. Probably the thought ( who knows, i could let some seeds…) came to my mind!
I really love the Planting a Seed method. We never know what little question nugget that we can share that will catch and linger in the mind to be
brought out to ponder at a later time.
Excellent! Really enjoyed this! Thanks for doing it.

Congratulations Lloyd, very interesting interview.
Glad you enjoyed it!
She seems really nice. I wish all witnesses were like her
Indeed.
My thought is, they’re mostly nice but it’s very conditional which is not nice.
She was very nice. I do think she is very selective in teaching what she finds uplifting and positive. Is she aware of the scandalous activities the governing body members cover up. I e. The handling of crimes against children. Her answer on higher education was her perspective, not what j ws teach. So many other issues as well , from changing teachings , overlapping generations, use of blood fractions and let's not forget judgmental attitude. Wouldn't it be great if she were part of the discreet slave? That can t happen she's the wrong sex. She was made for the man, yet I don't know one person that came from the man. ??? When she finds out what is really going on in this organization I hope she will be able to handle the crush and not lose her faith in God. It can make her stronger in the end, when she realizes she was putting her faith in an organization. Faith is something that should be had, only in God. Let every man be found a liar. Looking back it really is beyond genius how God was teaching us a lesson of that fact. Did we learn anything friends,?
@@henrydejong8448 « I hope she will [...] not lose her faith in God.» But... WHAT ?? I hope that she'll find the real truth: no people on earth have any clue about any god...
So you hope that she falls in obscurantism again ? That's why I hate bigots: they KNOW and 'wish" (if not ENFORCE) their delirium to other people. If you want to believe in an imaginary friend, good for YOU. Let people live their life. And stop imposing fantasy as "patches" to life's difficulties.
Hello Lloyd, thanks for the great interview, it was very interesting to hear this woman trying to sell her religion talking about all the good sides of the jw's, she didn't mentionned the 7 billions dying at armageddon and all the bad sides
They sugar coat everything in the beginning to hook you in to that cult
She actually did really good and answered a few questions i had what she said makes total sence ❤ i think the man was expecting something else😂
how many died at the flood? Sodom? always a warning - a lifeboat always provided. the choice is yours
I'm sad she is stuck in the org, because she seems to be a wonderful human being.
I wonder if she was thinking the whole time, wow if I get Lloyd to come back in the corporation
Lol, she's calling his bluff.
Thanks for the video Lloyd, it will be interesting to watch you making "progress in the truth"
😉
only God knows or the higher source!
Really well done Lloyd. To be fair to her she also done very well from JW standards, I was always rubbish at preaching! Would like to see more videos like this.
One thing they say and works is "if you have the faith you are better"... And they are not the only one, it's told in every marketing course.. The more you believe the more you are convincing.
She seems sweet and intelligent, but one of those people believing because she's nice and really want the best for humanity. I know, my parents felt into because they were "nice people", and they found JW's "nice and gentle"... And they are still stuck because their mind has been trapped believing that they are in a loving community, and "the world is wicked and bad"...
And I think those "sincere" JW's are the worst victim (and their kids), because they are being the most abused inside. All the cynical "sellers" males have "privileges" and are so "spirituals" (=show off a lot of hours...), are just fed by their ego to be the "cops of the community", knowing all gossips & cie, and in fact don't believe so much in "the nice gentle God", but believe more in a more "powerful" version of JHVH... Hollywood explosions style.
Wow, what a fascinating lady. She's multi linguistic and sounds really smart, but she's trapped in a cult. Hope she manages to break out of it and gets to lead a better life.
Thanks gur the good work you're doing. Greetings from Honduras C. A. 🇭🇳.
Hi Lloyd, great job I hope you start a bible study with her she seemed to be a sweet and intelligent girl. Maybe you can save her from this dangerous cult . You should do more of this type of video. Stay well KB😎
Unfortunately, she indicated she would be turning Lloyd over to a man from the US.
I lovelovelove your undercover work! The mormon stuff was my favourite, but this is stellar too.
It was amazing how she danced around mentioning armageddon
You know this is gonna be “huge drama” when they find out that you talked to that girl. She’s gonna be talk of the Kingdom Hall lmao
Lol, especially if The American knows Lloyd 😱
As for JWs telling me people, "We allow the Bible to speak for itself". Uh, doesn't almost every other fundamentalist, conservative denomination within Christianity who adheres to a literal interpretation of the Bible say the same thing? If the Bible "speaks for itself", then why should anyone ever undergo Bible study courses with the JWs if the text is so "self-explanatory" and requires no interpretation on the part of the individual reader? If the Bible's message is "so obvious", then why do Witnesses need to engage in public proselytizing activities? I don't believe that Satan exists, but if he did and if he tempted Jesus with promising to give him all earthly kingdoms, wouldn't that be kind of a pointless endeavor? I mean Jesus supposedly helped God create the world in his pre-earthly existence, and he supposedly gets to help Yahweh run the Earth after the Apocalypse anyway, so all the kingdoms of the world are technically co-owned by him.
I think it's silly when fundamentalist Christians say, "Satan runs the world". I thought God was supposed to own the world since he created it, or at least you'd think he is supposed to, so shouldn't he be the one who is always running it regardless of whatever Satan does? If not, and if I believed that any of this were true...I would say that God is probably just as corrupt as the devil. You mean you're going to let an evil entity run around corrupting people just so you can prove a point? Is God that much of a narcissist? If so, please stay away from me and leave me alone, and keep your believers and worshippers away from me too. I think it's more likely that wealthy, greedy international corporations play a part in running the world. In some ways, they have a bit too much power. If you want to call that "Satanic", then fine.

Definitely do have some points here that I mostly agree with. Why is the bible riddled and so ambiguous? If God really wanted a message to be known, the Bible isn't clear on it as, again, you can get a billion interpretations of what's literal and nonliteral in the Bible.
Can we expect a zoom Bible study in the next episode 😁

I hope she wakes up one day in the present, you were very chivalrous and kind to her, I imagined that you remembered when you were on that side and now you feel sorry for them, because they are deceived and don't realize it, very sad, thank you friend.
Well done Lloyd. I don’t think I could be as calm and composed as you, I’d probably end up calling her an idiot or something derogatory.
It's sad because she's so friendly and yet is slaving away to an organization that will throw her away in a heartbeat if she decided to think for herself. We were all there at one point as JWs, just like her, standing there poised confident in our WT teachings. Confident we had the truth. I feel sorry for her, normally I get angry at JWs but sometimes my heart just sulks for some of them because they are truly delusional and don't even know it. 😔
She is confident in Jehovah. Why is it so hard for people to believe Gods house could be led astray? Didn’t it happen over and over in the past? Christ will deal with all the wrongdoing when he actually returns. Why turn against Jehovah because of some problem with the watchtower? I guess it’s hard for people who never really believed in him or understood him and his message to think others actually care and believe and aren’t just following some men
Her: "and it's not useful" Him: *cracks smile* Yea.
That was unexpectedly off-road.
Very well done, hopefully this develops into a "Bible study"
shepherds who destroy Jeremiah 23:1-3
She did sound quite intelligent, most of us would not been able to handle this with such poise. I would never have given her my number. Before the chart day. I had spoken to two Witness in my early twenties and in my mid-thirties and when they changed the conversation out of religion. I taught they were close to normal.
Reminds me of Bottlegate. That was the only time I've seen Tony Morris appear normal. It's religion that makes people batty.
So I got baptized, didn’t stand for the flag, lost my family, wasn’t allowed to associate with worldly people and being a JW isn’t a condition in the Bible?
Nicely done, I like the way Lloyd injected humour into the exchange but remained really respectful. I can imagine the lady as a 'worldly' person and she'd be really lovely - she's too intelligent to be a JW sister. In fact she seemed more genuine than I can imagine Jade or Nita being, although I think fame might have gone to their heads 🤣
Jdubs are deceived believing they have the truth.
I would like to see more videos like this on your channel.

Hi Lloyd! I'm curious, have you ever asked a JW what people say about their group? I read Stephen Hassan's books and one of the questions he suggests you ask a cult member is what others say about them. I'm curious about where that would lead.
