New Light exjw ex jehovah's Witness Former Pioneer Former Ministerial Servant Former Elder Tony Morris Watchtower Cult
Are you all really taking seriously an immature, annoyingly silly sounding guy, with nails painted in different colors?
You make some great points there to be honest, my nails look pretty bad! They are chipping and looking kinda tired. I thought with my sound upgrade I didn't sound so annoying though. Any suggestions on fixing that?
Awe...Sunny, I don't think anyone is taking you too seriously bud. 🤗
You have nothing better to contribute than to try to insult WALLY?? His painted nails & sillyness speaks to the level of his confidence. He's not afraid to be his authentic self. I ABSOLUTELY TAKE WALLY SERIOUSLY. You on the other hand can go kick rocks!
Wouldn’t be taking any advice from a clown that can only think of 1 name “sunny” really dude?
Ooooh, an ignorant JW/JW apologist has no critique on the content or points Wally is making so they attack him? Literally the saddest and most pathetic JW position ever.
It seems unfair to me that they disfellowship for not believing in everything they say even though they change those things all the time.
yeah it is ridiculous
They make up shit as they go along, their next New light will be a real revelation , their god was a fabrication, a figment of their imagination. But so what you might say. What else is new?
Hey what's wrong with overlapping TRUTH??
@@justinthyme5382 how many times does the word overlapping occur in the Bible?
@@gustavscholten597 I suspect Justin was being sarcastic.
Regarding “adjustments”, “new light”, “progressive knowledge”, etc…if God chose Watchtower as “the true religion”, then why, in heavens name, does God constantly change the understanding of scripture? According to Malachi 3:6 Jehovah does not change. Watchtower, with all of their “adjustments” keeps bouncing back and forth on what they teach. It’s really confusing. Truth never changes.
You have to keep that acceptance conditioning up so they'll keep believing they have the truth. The new light always seems to follow not too far after they reiterate to blindly follow what the Governing Body says.
And "our all powerful God who needs nothing, . . . seems to always need money. He just can't handle MONEY"! #GeorgeCarlin
New light from Satan
your being gaslighted , , , counter information., , , flip flopping , , destroys your ability to reason . . . the news organizations do the same thing . the education system is a prison for the mind .
@@smy74 yes, in revelation when it says Her sins have massed clear up to heaven. JW are included. “Get out of her my people” well I did that. The thing with JW is it’s not about learning, it’s about the thirst for being right. And if you don’t agree, you’re out.
Oh for heaven sake!!! 🙄 This “New Light” where the light gets brighter and brighter! It’s more like someone just keeps flipping the switch! Watchtower is the god of confusion! I just feel so bad for all the decent people trapped in this terrible organization!
Another Great video Wally!
Dear Rachelle: Why do you think this religion is not the truth?
I have been Watchtower free for a month now. Wally I love you and your show and it's been a tremendous help to me not to feel bad about leaving. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
Good luck on your new journey
More than not "feeling bad for leaving," praise God for your release!
Congratulations! Have an exciting and thoroughly good journey.
@@mattmurdock2868 you're absolutely right about that. I've only been with the organization for 4 years and I just couldn't let them fully hijack my brain. I kept seeing the inconsistencies of their doctrines and as well as the constant conditioning to not think for themselves or conduct any objective research. I eventually had enough and called them out, now I only hear crickets and I love it.
You have gotten out of Babylon the Great! I ask that the Real most high let's my 2 sisters see real truth.
Left the religion when I was 14/15, turning 20 this month. Leaving was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Love checking in on what they're doing every so often, ur channel provides that and lots of laughs xD
Thanks man and happy birthday month! have a good time
That’s funny because for me leaving was the worst mistake I’ve made, I’m back studying and feel better then ever 😊
Spero che molti giovani tg ,prendano la tua decione per riprendersi la loro vita ,i loro pensieri ,e fare le proprie esperienze ,invece di fare i postini della Watchtower,.
@@itzjosue3821 My therapist suggested I do the same right before I woke up. She said I didn’t do too well when I was away from my meetings. Years later I thought, why would she say that when she knew it was a destructive organization. Well, it’s like when a mentally disabled person has a handler. Or an abused woman has a controlling spouse. They don’t know how to live without someone else telling them every decision they should make. When your powers of thought and reason are taken from you and when you’ve not been able to develop a genuine authentic personality, control feels comforting. Due to that we’ve always lived with it. The familiarity, even though harmful, is what we crave because it’s all we’ve known.
What did it for me was an interview on the channel “cult free radio”. Parts 1&2 with Barbara Anderson. She is the sweetest most loving, kind hearted sister. Has nothing bad to say about the teachings really. Served at bethel for something like 35/40 years. Knows all the GB personally. Worked in very prestigious departments at bethel. To hear her speak with clarity and insight was a wave of refreshing delight. Hope it helps. Be well love ✌🏾

Ever since I heard of the interpretation of the Book of Life being written in pencil, it sounded like bullsh*t. When books were first being used, they were rare, expensive, and written with a pen with the general intent that its contents should be preserved exactly without change. Pencils came along far, far after the metaphor of the Book of Life was written.
hahaha so true!
So, even after dedicating your whole life to WT, surviving armageddon, teaching all the resurrected, and staying faithfull for 1000 years, you still could lose it all because of Satans endgame? What a bleak and hopeless prospect JW's face...😔
pretty grim stuff!
I put that to a JW sister who brought me into their "truth" and her answer to that was JW's who survived armageddon will not be tested again cause they already passed the test by having made it through. They have an answer for everything regardless if it's right or wrong.
That whole idea about teaching people in the new system eventually depressed me. I was not happy with the idea of doing all this “teaching work” when we should have been relaxing in paradise with our pandas, lions, tigers, etc - it felt exhausting 😢
@@dantoinettetaylor1663 I'm a teacher myself, looking forward to a 'lessonfree' paradise..😁
Yes! Correct from what I was taught
Good job Wally!
In their scenario, the “new system” will still be ‘us vs. them’ the righteous vs unrighteous. They’ll find a way to keep shunning too I’ll bet.
It’s a hard pass for me.
now that you mention it. they're really no better than any fictional dystopia where everyone is said to be equal. They'll find something to discriminate against. If not the unrighteous then women. If not women then immature children
@Steve Honky
Who are the "righteous" ones ?? Jehovah's Witnesses from the head, the 8 members of the Governing body, down to the ordinary congregants??
Are they righteous or SINNERS ??
It's a completely ridiculous teaching. JWs Salvation is basically just about timing.
Here's The Story of identical twin brothers born in a small American town.
When the twin Boys both grew to adults one brother got baptized and became a loyal faithful JWs and the other brother became addicted to heroine and FBI's #1 Most Wanted psychopath serial killer/rapist.
20yrs later & exactly 144 seconds right before Armageddon begins the JWs twin brother who'd given 20 yrs of loyal service gets disfellowshipped for the sin of simply watching JW Thoughts and other wicked apostate channels.
Meanwhile, coincidently at that exact same time his psychopath serial killer/rapist twin brother dies in a shoot out with cops after he'd kidnapped, raped, tortured and murder 3 underage girls.
Guess which one gets to be resurrected into Paradise along with his 100s of murdered and raped victims?! 😂😂😂LOL!!!!!
@@anonymousprofessor8866 That's great! I thought of stuff like that when I was just a kid. I wish I'd listened to my doubts.
Well, if you do make it, just make sure to stay the hell away from anyone with a Kerchief/necktie/bandanna around their forehead!🤔 That way you know you're on the right side😬. In point of fact this BRIDE looks rather suspect👰⬅️
And yet ANOTHER great and informative video. Thanks, dude. My technically still-in JW lady friend tried to lay this whole convoluted futuristic trip on me the other night. But I had introduced her to psylocibin for the first time in her life and her accounting of the myth broke down into a prolonged giggle session.
I look at "New Light" now and wonder how I spent so many years believing his BS.

Great video Wally. Such a good example of how watchtower takes such a clear and straight forward Bible message and completely muddles and overcomplicates it. It’s so infuriating and hilarious at the same time. By the way, I wish your videos were longer. I love all of your cut away gags and pop culture references. They help illustrate how ridiculous JW teachings really are. I recently watched your Stephen lett impression video with the white face and Mickey Mouse mitts. BEST EVER!!! NAILED IT!!!
hahaha well I think the sweet spot is 15-20 minutes but maybe more regularly
My husband and I have been out for roughly a year. My JW FIL was recently telling us how he hoped his elderly, Catholic mother would die before Armageddon because she rejected “the good news”. Not long after she passed away (much to his misplaced relief) this article came out. We haven’t had a chance to talk about with him and ask his feelings on this new light. I just hope it will flick a switch with him
"Bears are not allowed."
Well damn no wonder I ended up leaving.
🤣🤣👍
That's UN- BEARable.😎😇🖐🦘
I also never agreed with idea that God would just give a free pass to genuinely bad people who died before Armageddon but anyone who just didn't believe the GB, or who LGBTQ, but were good people get a fireball to the face. It seemed too legalistic and rule-bound to me. They always said God is a reader of hearts so why be legalistic? Like, who is worse an elder that was unkind to the flock, hurt people, but made all the meetings and service, or an atheist who was kind and generous? Or someone dead like Hitler or some random LGBTQ person who was decent person? So Hitler, Hussein, or Stalin get a resurrection but the gay person gets death at Armageddon? What about what was in a person's heart?? I always rejected that idea, it's too stupid to beleive
yeah it is truly degusting and I am starting to think it might just be the dumbest jw teaching
That made me think I SHOULDN'T preach. They're guaranteed a chance to know God in a better place if I never tell them. It seemed mean lol
Wow great video!
I think this video/watchtower article really showcases how many of us started feeling like, well what’s the point of doing all the JW tasks for WT when in the grand scheme of things it’s all meaningless?
Around the time I woke up I kept thinking, I wished I’d never learned “the truth” because I’d probably have a better shot of making it into the new system
I don't think that it is meaningless for them and for testing people 🤔 😕 😐
Note that... The wages sin pays is death... So when a person dies he past sins are wiped out. So it would have been contradictory to say they would be judged after they have already paid for their sins by death... Hence the adjustment in thinking.
Facts
They screwed that up didn't they?! The verse they use that says when you die, you're sins are wiped away, is for Christians who have been saved by Christ, the real Christ. When we die, we go to heaven are able to face our Holy God without sin. Amen! But the gb took that one verse and totally didn't say ot write that in context. They're demonic liars.😪
That concept of wiping out sin would need to say in the Bible “the bill sin hands you is death” so when you die you pay your bill, but it says “wages” so you are paid with death if you are in sin being in Adam instead of Christ who takes your sin giving you life instead. It’s the whole point of Roman’s if you just read it. Helps to get a witness to think.
Cougars not allowed, well, I’m out 😂
@@obedrosario853 Yup! The wages of sin is death. That means separation from God. We can thank Him for His Son Jesus so people can go to Him in faith, repent they're sinners, and ask His forgiveness. Amen! Then Jesus will send the Holy Spirit to dwell in them forever! A double amen for that!
I wish all of the jw's could learn this.
Love always to you Obed!🍃✝️🍃⚘️
You know it's the one true religion when you rewrite your own version of the bible and then can't even decipher it correctly. Now that's truth AF. 😆
Excellent video! Thank you for dealing with this teaching. I always had a problem with it since John 5:29 has always stated “did” and “practiced” which is in the past tense. But, like a good JW I never questioned it out loud or asked an Elder about it. I just put it in the back of my mind and let it go. But, no more since 2017, when I began to wake up. All the changes and flip flops in their teaching are catching up with them it seems. Now they are losing credibility. But many JW’s will stick with the religion no matter what, unfortunately, because it is too hard to leave and risk losing your whole friends and family network. So sad.
yeah I think every witness got annoyed that people could just take the speedrun route to paradise while we are busting our asses for WT
@@exjehovahswitness Also your unrighteous neighbour could become righteous and you being righteous could become unrighteous! and live with it for a thousand years!! If you live in the same area that is! Oh gawd!🤣
What a relief. Was just about to give up my vile life and join the JW’s. Now I can have my cake and eat it too…
Howdy, Wally! As always, you never disappoint! Keep up the fine fight!
A jw for 30 years.
I do not want to exist with all those self-righteous ones who have always judged or talked about those who they feel are not faithful enough, behind your back, but you heard it from someone who overheard conversation and revealed it to you. If they will be in Paradise, I do not want to be there. Heard half of cong. there to test the other half...DONE WITH THAT. Nonexistent before I was born, nonexistent after I die, PLEASE!
yeah I'll take dust to dust.
Only the JWs can make the afterlife into an exhausting hamster wheel of activities and proving yourself good enough.
Highway to Holiness ???Do we get to meet Michael Landon along the way....But it took over 100 years to talk about it.Something is really wrong here.
that was a real mind meld that just happened here on the internet! lol
I always feared I wouldn’t make it through the Great Trib & was damn certain I’d fail the test after the 1,000 years 🤣
I always thought it was cruel that we would go through all of this just to be tested again and destroyed. What is even the point of that? Oh wait, it’s all bullshit.
Ashley Carlson: Tomorrow could be the GT for you. Personalize it and think again. Serve the True God every day.
Great video pointing out the inconsistencies and ridiculousness of Watchtower resurrection doctrine nonsense. I honestly don’t think it’s much of a change however. Watchtower leadership is attempting to eat and have their cake too here. They’ve always claimed that resurrected ones will be evaluated based on their conduct and whether they accept “Jesus’s sacrifice”. The change is that they are now saying that the “unrighteous” will not do vile things after resurrection but at the same time implying that some of them will not live up to God’s standards. But that would be equivalent to doing something vile. The watchtower is talking out of both sides of its mouth in order to get out of a literal interpretation of John. It’s pure Orwellian doublespeak.
You’re on point with the inconsistencies about the resurrection doctrine, on how there’s no advantage to dying as a faithful JW versus as a “non-believer”. While I was a JW, it was my understanding that if someone died after knowing JW doctrine (knowing the “truth”) the person had almost no hope of being resurrected. This makes the point that never having heard of the so-called “truth” is more advantageous than being a JW even stronger.
yeah it's not really new light but more just erasing scriptures so they don't have to deal with hell
When you think about it, NOT witnessing would give people a higher chance of reaching the new system, so that would be the most productive and loving thing to (not) do 😎
Left in 2017 My lord and Savior Christ Jesus opened my eyes after 18 years in this cult......no more false dates and doctrine no more blood sacrifices no more harassment feels wonderful to be free of this cult Amen
Trouble is JW's are still involved in blood sacrifices each time they forfeit a life saving blood transfusion. Also another way blood sacrifices are practised is through their shunning practises that includes family members. Family ties are blood ties, how many Jduds have committed suicide over losing their family connection through disfellowshipping and shunning?
One day a simple man is asked by a JWs would he like Bible Studies? And to the JWs surprise the man says "Sure"
The Bible Studies begins and this man becomes zealous about the new refreshing Truths he is receiving.
After months of good progressive Bible Studies this man confesses that JWs is God's organization!!!
Then the JWs asks "Do you think you're ready for baptism symbolizing your lifelong dedication to Jehovah?"
The man without hesitation says with excitement "Absolutely!!!
The date is set for Sunday during the next convention.
Then this new light comes out before the man's baptism. And on Sunday the day of baptism the JWs and the one who brought this man into the truth says with tears in his eyes, "No turning back now, I can't wait to officially call you my brother!"
The man smiles and says "I already consider you my brother and the one saving me from Armageddon which we both know and according to GB Stephen Lett is right around the corner.
The man continues and says "Honestly, I've decided to take the "Fast Track Lane" by living out my days in this wicked system of things enjoying life to the Max. Gambling, smoking and drinking nonstop, doing every drug possible, having as much fornications with hookers as possible and when I am all burned out.
I will run into a police station high on PCP with a BB gun only to wake up in sweet Paradise"
"So hopefully we meet again in Paradise. Please don't get disfellowshipped. It would suck if you didn't make it"
If the unrighteous are resurrected to judgement in the sense that they will be “evaluated”, then wouldn’t that mean the righteous are resurrected to judgement also, since they can also be annihilated should they disobey?
If this *is* the case, then why did Christ distinguish between the two types of resurrection at John chapter 5….life, verses judgement?
Am I the only one that used to think heavenly paradise looked boring af 🤣 I remember being hella grateful for not being chosen 🤣
I've always thought the entire post Armageddon setup looks boring, and I wonder why all of the members of the heavenly ruling class are Kenny Rogers look-alikes with gold headbands and white robes. Imagine having to dress and groom yourself like everyone else on your job every day and never being able to chose your own wardrobe for all eternity.
yeah it seems like they are just going to be bored, maybe that is why the demons wanted to come down to earth and get some
@@exjehovahswitness 🤣🤣🤣🤣At least, they know what they like.
@@exjehovahswitness holiness really isn’t all that fun 🤣
Great job by the way Wally on your RUclips channel 👍
Your information is presented in a light hearted honest way which is refreshing.
Waking people up from this harmful controlling cult is valuable for all concerned.
Thanks man! we are really starting to hit a good stride I feel. I hope that people can be entertained so exjw content isn't just sad angry venting all the time. I appreciate the kind words
Did anyone see that movie "the island"? The jw image of paradise sounds exactly like the life those clones had. A world of obedience, void of any joy or children or freedoms and they are all kept at a grade 4 educational level, to avoid questioning. . 🤔.....it's eerily similar.
omg wally, i’m dying here. i’m literally laughing so hard i’m dying. that vanilla ice clip, hahahaha.
that might be the greatest meme of all time! I laughed so hard when I found that
Wow, that's amazing! Do they realize what they are saying and the implications?! Oh my goodness!
this was fantastic Wally, thanks for breaking that down for us.
I'm sending positive thoughts that you reach your goal of 10,000 subscribers by (before) the end of the year‼️
🍀🍀🍀🍀
So, just say "no" to a biblestudy for now, but ask for a return visit after Armageddon?
that is the strategy
🤣Highway of holiness!!!?? I thought the cramped and narrow road leads to life and the broad and spacious highway leads to death🤣
Yup they're on the highway.
Oh yeah, good catch! Oopsies!

It's so heartbreaking that the jw's refuse to believe they're in the new covenant as the rest of the world is in, that they don't realize they're committing idolatry, and that Jesus is the only salvation that the Father gave all of us. The conclusion to the wt teaching is judgement of condemnation. No paradise earth. No heaven for 144,000 wt members. 😭😭😭
...and the great crowd is dying off fast; and armageddon has not come; and they are re-inventing the wheel by reverting to the Our Father Prayer.
@@HL-vr1vs I pray everyday that the jw's wake up from this demonic cult, and that the wt is exposed EVERYWHERE of their pedophile database and that the wt falls forever.
They're leading all of their members to their eternal damnation. 😭
They don't even know it or care to research what they have their soul into.
Have an awesome day my friend!🍃✝️🍃
Good morning Terri...
One thing to remember, witnesses are not in the new covenant, because they reject the author of the covenant, His blood and body.
They are kind of bad people though. They treat people with hate and blame it on the watchtower
It's a completely ridiculous teaching. JWs Salvation is basically just about timing.

Weird. For over 40 years as a JW I always thought this "new understanding" was always the doctrine. I guess God gave me understanding before the GB? Of course I would never claim to be his one channel of communication (voice of God on earth) even if I did believe in God. Lol
Don't move ahead of the chariot! lol
Right! I was told that I was running ahead of GB or I'd hear "so, you think you know better than the GB?"
My thinking, and bare with me now, the Bible says my relationship with Jesus is my own, so I should study and let the word convict me to what I think it says to the best of MY ability because I cannot get salvation THROUGH someone else.
What JWs are taught and what they believe: "JWs teachings come from and are based on Bible scriptures." Reality: The WTS core teachings come first, and Bible verses are misused - even cherry picked - to back up their teachings. How does one know or discern this? The constant changes that the WTS leaders have to make to their teachings, and this strangely involved flip-flopping on doctrines. This flip-floppy is STRONG evidence that the teaching originates with man, for God can't be wrong or make mistakes about his own teachings.
Jdubs don't see it that way unfortunately. Their doctrinal belief that their own death aquits them of their sin is ridiculous cause what was the purpose of Jesus having died for mankind "sins" if their own death serves the same purpose? Was Jesus's death in vain? Why aren't Jdubs still sacrificing animals as the Israelites did for the atonement of their sins while they're living? I mean according to their own doctrine, unless they've died, they're still sinners, unworthy in Jehovahs eyes. Also according to their own literature, the rank and file are not in the new covenant cause Jesus is mediator only for the anointed, the rank n file come under the anointed headship who serve as their mediators.
yeah I really demonstrates how they hold their teaching above the bible!
Blinded by the light
The Bible is like abstract art.. everyone has their own interpretation of what they're looking at.
👏👏👏👏👏✌️❤💥
Great analogy!
“Those who practiced good things to a resurrection of Life but those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”
JWs: “well…when he says Life it doesn’t really mean life and when he says Judgment it doesn’t mean that either, per the Greek lexicon.
You mean the book that says let your Yes mean yes and your No mean no and to quit speaking in ambiguity? What weird light to be getting brighter and brighter and yet more and more gray all at the same time.
😙
Lol! You got it exactly correct, never open your doors to the JWs.
No open the door and calmly explain how they believe a lie, just choose something to dismantle I like to use the Noah’s ark story it’s easy to debunk.
Or you could mention how women have white blood cells in breast milk all the while Jehovah’s witnesses would rather die on an operating table than except white blood cells.

As a born again Christian, I rather enjoy it. In fact, I wish they'd stay longer.😂
FYI I love that you’re expressing your own unique personal style! Something we never got to do, personally I went and got a ton of tattoos , pierced almost everything and dyed my hair pink . Who wants a boring ass man ? Says a lot about him! Good on you! So proud of the ex JW’s who then stick the finger to the organisation and decided for themselves how they want to portray themselves to the world! Finding yourself and your own opinions , thoughts and yes personal style is so important after being forced to conform to a bunch of stuck up old men, who have self appointed themselves above everyone else!!! F that!
The watchtower does not believe that hell exists (which the Bible clearly teaches) so they need to twist the scriptures to match this doctrine.
That is really at the bottom of the whole thing
Curious where this "clearly teaches" information could be found in the bible. I've never seen it.
I totally agree don’t ever answer the door don’t give them a chance to ruin ur life bc they will‼️
This is one of your BEST videos because it proves what we all know... the WTS doctrine has always been placed ABOVE the scriptures.

That darned light has gotten so bright that most JW’s are blind
Sounds like the writers were on drugs. That's some crazy shit.
yeah some crazy stuff indeed
the book of life..... good excuse for controlling people with fear....
Unfortunately, with all the clarity Wally just revealed in this video, which I highly appreciate... The sadder truth is, the people who need to see, hear and really take in what he is saying for their own benefit, will never get past those nails.
Presentation is everything when trying to market anything, especially something as so valuable as the logic and illogic that Wally just exposed in this Watchtower teaching.
I like you. I just really hope you are the gift you have and use it to really lift people up and out of the Watchtower cult.
I'm not saying don't paint your nails...I'm saying do what will make your message effective to those that really need to hear it. We who are regulars already see past the Watchtower fog...I really hope you are producing videos not for likes but to help reach those that are still in the thickness.
I actually had a really productive conversation with witnesses even though my nails are painted. So I don't know, maybe it bothers some and not others. I feel the people it does bother might not be open to listening anyway and the people that don't mind perhaps are more open minded.
@@exjehovahswitness When I was still indoctrinated, if I would have come across your videos I would have been psyched about your nails. Always felt a spark of joy when I saw someone choosing to be authentically themselves. Also helped me relax and feel safe being myself. You are free now. Revel in it. Don’t package yourself as a marketing tool, that’s exactly what they do. If someone will only listen to a person who looks like a witness, then maybe they aren’t there yet. Or they can listen to someone else more vanilla, like the John Cedars channel (sorry Lloyd! 😖). There’s someone for everyone. Live your free existence, and pay no attention to the person attempting to emotionally manipulate and control you by saying “hope you aren’t doing this for the likes, hopefully you’re doing it to TRULY help people” 😳 meaning what? Whitewash yourself and delete your identity in order to appeal to whomever won’t accept you as you are? At any rate, how could your messages be interpreted as anything but looking out for the oppressed and suffering? You handled that backhanded witnessy judgement/ guilt 1-2 punch gracefully. Showing true love for people and respect for all criticism. I am not as graceful yet…🤍
vlad thé impaler? ok i have to go before i lose my mind laughing so hard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thanks wally, you have no idea how much i needed this today.
I'm glad it was helpful to your day
Great job Wally!
I’m curious, does this apply to apostates who die before Armaggedon? Or is being an apostate still considered “unforgivable”?
@Mike Carlson
Who interpretates the word "unforgivable" and do they refuse to forgive the alleged guilty one ??
In whose eyes are they guilty ??
Good question, if the price of sin (& loosely defining “apostacy” as sin) is death…then surely…
I once said to an elderette, the "worldly" people who die before armageddon are in a far better position than those who die during armaggedon, at least the ones who died before armageddon gets a resurrection, there's no hope for the others. She just looked right through me, completely lost for words. So yes, even "apostates" who died before armageddon will get a second chance with a resurrection cause their heart condition might have changed.
Apostate to whom? The Father, the Son?
Or Watchtower?
Interesting points 🤔 My wife and I were always told that being an apostate was worse than death because there would be no hope of resurrection. I don’t know which articles they were reading to tell us that but I think the scripture was Hebrew 6:4-6.
I'm sitting here speechless 😶 😵💫 Ain't that some buIIsh!t😡
yeah they have really hit a new low
This is how I understood that the whole time. Whoops guess the chariot just caught up with me.
you were steering that bitch and they are trying to catch up to you!
If God is going to get me shunned and destroy me for not focusing my whole existence on preaching and following strict rules that keep changing back and forward, which shouldn't happen as God is said to be Perfect. My point is that I'm not going to continue doing what I no longer believe in, all because if I go as little as start questioning everything that I read, there would be a high chance I'll be shunned and have nobody. I don't mean to be critical but if living like this is advertised as "the best life ever", then I rather not have life if God's great destruction that is yet to come, is true.
Because in my opinion no rule should matter as long as you are a good person and pay for mistakes with more kindness to the world. And if anyone reading this likes being a part of Jehovah's Witnesses, enjoy your own life and I hope you learn more about what you read from the Bible.
I think this really highlights a fundamental problem with all religions who claim to "just follow the Bible": the Bible does not have one unified message. It is an anthology of books written by different authors with different ideas. The "millennium" idea comes from the book of Revelation, written by John of Patmos. Whatever he believed or whatever visions he had included a millennium. But the synoptic gospels were written by people who more closely described what Jesus said, and Jesus was an apocalyptic preacher who thought God would establish his Kingdom on Earth any day now and would then judge people, the living as well after the dead (who would have to be resurrected for this purpose). These authors were describing very different ideas, and when trying to mash everything together into one single message, that's when you get this BS.
hey kate! always good to see the OG's stop by! Yeah that is a really good point that I will definitely talk about more when these ideas come up again
Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense. So people who were already dead will be resurrected just to be judged then die again.....? And now they claim to know how Jesus used a particular word in ancient Greek 2 milenia ago? I'm done.....
Getting close to 10k 🏋️
yeah baby!!!
No cougars allowed? I'm not trusting people who don't like cats.
The WTS leaders have always spoken out of both sides of their mouths. It's what we all know as double-talk and its why thinking JWs are always confused about these controversial WTS teachings - you know, like the over-lapping generation teaching!
New Light! Praise the Lord!
This is gold. I love how you logically break down the “new light”! They are so ridiculous it’s hilarious! Thanks for another great video! Looking forward to the next one!!
I love your name 🤣👍🏻
@@ResearchThis haha thanks!!!
thanks! the next one is platinum
@@exjehovahswitness lol most definitely!! Those 8 old crooks get crazier and crazier by the minute!!
When I was JW I always wondered if those that died in Armageddon would also be resurrected. I mean they still died and paid the price for their sins right? Why is it only the “bad” people that are living during Armageddon don’t get a resurrection if they paid the same price?
That's weird. I'm out for 20 years, and I always thought the resurrection of judgement was for people who did "wrong" before their death. But only if they didn't have the opportunity to listen to the "good news".
So, in a way, this new light feels like old light to me. Maybe something went lost in translation to Portuguese... I don't know.
Or maybe I just gave more importance to the Bible text than to the official doctrine.
There have been old JW beliefs that changed upon receiving "new light" but further "new light" changed it back to their original beliefs. So rather than the light getting brighter and brighter (Proverbs 4:18), it's actually been flipping on and off. Sorry, I can't provide a scriptural basis for the latter.
One example of this would be the use of organ transplants for life saving measures. In a 1961 Watchtower, it was deemed acceptable by the Governing Body. "It does not seem that any Scriptural principle or law is involved. It therefore is something that each individual must decide for himself."
Then, in 1967, the Governing Body stated, "Sustaining one's life by means of the body or part of the body of another human ... would be cannibalism, a practice abhorrent to all civilized people." Fear tactics were instilled regarding organ transplants from this time on. For example, a 1975 Watchtower declared, "A peculiar factor sometimes noted is a so-called 'personality transplant.' That is, the recipient in some cases has seemed to adopt certain personality factors of the person from whom the organ came."
In 1980, it was then stated, "There is no Biblical command pointedly forbidding the taking in of other human tissue ... It is a matter for personal decision..."
For claiming to be the only spokesmen for God on earth, it seems the Governing Body is getting their signals crossed.
I see your point, however look at it this way. The ability to maintain faithfulness for those who practiced good is easier than the practicer of bad over the 1,000 years.
Going pre-1914/1900s it's even more complicated, as they thought everyone (only 144,000 everyone) were going to heaven, and all the wicked would stay on earth to be corrected or something. :P
It would be non-Christians left on earth to be resurrected, to learn the mistakes they made.
Yeah the super old teaching was super wacky and off puttiing
When people can admit “ I don’t know “ , the possibility of knowing is available… Sadhguru
It takes me so long to get through your videos cuz my brain immediately shuts down when you show a clip of them talking or read their articles. No wonder I missed this whole teaching when I was a kid.
yeah my brain can't take it so I just end up adding funny little animations to get through it
@@exjehovahswitness Those are the parts that get my rapt attention 😄
Same here 😬
This “new light” is a little worrisome when it comes to JW’s in seemingly hopeless situations…like a gay JW who feels like they can’t come out or an abused wife who can’t get relief from her JW husband. Couldn’t this new understanding make suicide look like a good option for them…because what happens in this life doesn’t really matter? If you die you’ll just get a reset in paradise. Or is they treated differently? It’s all so confusing
I am still officially JW but born again in Christ Jesus and partake every Sunday.
Hi Wally, nothing matters, except for Zeezy and like Jesus he didn't make a appearance 🐈⬛
Good work breaking this down, have a great weekend 👍
I know we had a scheduling conflict and he couldn't make it today
I love your videos. I had you pegged for an agnostic, interesting that you outed yourself as an atheist. I thought you might find it interesting that there is a growing number of people who believe we are in the days of Revelation 20:7....that we are past the 1,000 year millennium reign of Christ, and living in the times of Satan being let loose to deceive. (different thoughts on how many years past, but 150 years past is probably the most common.) Myself, I was brought up in a mainstream denomination, identified as an agnostic atheist for several years in my 20's, and now identify as a follower of Jesus (I don't believe the Bible as we have it today is "inerrant", and I haven't attend church (other than weddings or funerals) for 15+ years....although my name is still on the rolls of a mainstream denomination.) I became interested in JW's, as I have a co-worker who is JW...incidentally, once my SO had a dream warning him about snakes coming for his children, and then he woke up to JW's knocking on the door. ) This is all probably more than you have any interest in knowing.....I guess my point is, I know the JW's, and many religious groups are predatory, I still believe a good portion of the Bible is true, and likely other "sacred" texts as well, although I am not that familiar with others. And I think it is very possible we are living in Revelation 20:7, past the "end times", past the millennial reign of Christ....certainly the BIble doesn't give any indication what to expect in the times of Satan being let loose, so anyone's guess is as good as mine.
That is very interesting. Do you know a homepage or a channel talking about those things?
thanks! I am pretty sure I have said I don't really have any beliefs in supernatural things before but yeah, that's me. Hey I think it's great that you have found a way of living where you can identify things that are "predatory" and also the sacred texts that work for you! I don't like when people are so hard nosed about these things that it causes suffering so thanks for being balanced. Yeah Revelation is something that I want to take some more time to understand but it is a big project
Bro that vanilla ice clip had me rolling 🤣 bahaha
That teaching where the dead are acquitted of their sin cause they paid the price for their own sins by having died, well what was the purpose of Jesus having died for mankind then, was his death in vain? If Jesus didn't die for their sins, then shouldn't Jdubs be sacrificing animals for the atonement of their sins while they're still living? This is what the Israelites did, they made regular animal sacrifices to their God Jehovah, why aren't Jdubs still doing this, afterall the rank n file are not considered in the new covenant, Jesus's death doesn't apply to them, only the anointed or 144,000, because according to their literature, Jesus is mediator only for the anointed.
good point
You make so much sense. I know you are helping so many people!
Jeehober and Satan are always teaming up this way. They plot and scheme tests and trials for us together, eg. Job, and they chat together about it, setting the stage to tempt us and punish us. No way they are enemies, sound more like partners, or brothers. What a dynamic duo
It sounds like, without Satan's help to test us, jeehober would have no way to read our hearts and know who's good or bad.
We should all be more thankful for Satan ❤️🥰
yeah they are setting up everyone for the real wombo combo
They are a duo cause Jehovah IS Satan.
Trouble in Paradise. My thoughts exactly ! They had their differences, but that was THEN ! They’ve made up and Satan ( the far less bloodthirsty of the two) perhaps persuaded God to postpone or even cancel the whole Armageddon Event ! Now that’s what you could call NEW LIGHT. Wally always gives me Divine inspiration.
I haven't been to the hall in probably 15 years but that didn't sound any different to me than how I understood it way back. However you're always pretty funny to watch.
So JWs get 1000 yrs to teach others., and inbook of life in pencil, so risk losing what they earned in this life. Good or bad, non JWs have 1000 yrs to earn a place in the book of life.
yes sir!
It was my understanding that the 1000 years wasn't necessarily for teaching. There will be a lot of corpses and debris to deal with for a LONG time, can't imagine that they wait thousands of years to make it to post-Armageddon just to have to keep preaching to the newbs. Nobody even knows at what rate the resurrected will be brought back. All at once? What a nightmare!
A great video well made with great contents. New light? I thought our God doesn’t change. I’ve subscribed to your RUclips channel from Ireland
I appreciate several ex-JW’s channels that bring out the truth about that horrendous cult. I can see the spiritual and emotional scars that they leave on people’s lives through their garbage man made doctrines. One of the main things that I see happened to people coming out of cultish sects is that they either become Christians or atheists. I understand pain, deception and scars even if didn’t go through a cult but from life itself. I was born in Christian home and had good parents. I lost my mother from a stray bullet that killed her when I was six years old. The bullet not only killed my mother but killed our family. Me and my brother and sisters were separated for years. I suffered from neglect, mental and physical abuse, lack of love and loneliness. Thank God that as I grew up I learned (all by myself, no therapy here) about life and the consequences of of our personal decisions. The bottom line is that I didn’t let my miserable experiences as a child and a teenager to shape the rest of my life. I don’t believe (and I’m proof of it) that you have to let your past experiences define you as a person. That’s why I don’t believe in psychology (I went to college to study it and found out is a bunch of bull) where they want to make believe that our past and not ourselves are responsible for our crimes, sins, faults, etc. . In the judicial system lawyers try to convince the jury that the criminal is not at fault but his past. Tell that to the victims of those crimes (like me and my siblings). To close this rant I want to say that all this is illustrate how people coming out of these cults go one way or another. God is not at fault for what happened to you. We are free agents and can make decisions. Some went voluntarily into this harmful cults and others were in there because of their parents. Anyways if you can get out of it try the real God and if not convinced go the other way. Remember you know you were deceived by false teachers and if they were false then their teachings were false (just a bit of logic here). After all this years (I’m 65 now) I went through everything but realized that there is a real God and real Scriptures that when not twisted like they do, bring a lot of wisdom to one’s life. I respect everybody else’s path in life because it is your life and you can do whatever fits you. I tried it all and nothing worked, except the path of salvation through Jesus, so this is my opinion based on my personal life. Respectfully, another human being that went through earthly hell too.
I truly FEEL that you have a Good Heart, as your comments are very Life confirming, Agape love from an 81 year young ex jw, wishing you all the best for the future.
Thank you for sharing this tragic personal part of your life brother very brave of you, not many are as honest as you, stay safe & healthy peace to you always.
Dear Jesus Lopez: I appreciate your effort in writing this long paragraph. What religion should people go to? How should they serve the Most High?
May, seem and probably
The organization's favorite words
"May"..."perhaps"...
.."likely".."undoubtedly"..
The Vanilla Ice clip!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 PERFECTLY NAILED IT!!!!!! Although I was born into WTcult there were things that I would question as a kid and think.....this doesn't make sense so I could never fully commit to the belief. I went to meetings out of fear. When looking at the breakdown of their beliefs from the "outside" it's so obvious it's a bunch of bull! I hope more people start waking up to what the WT really is and take their life back. It makes me wonder if church pastors/priests change their beliefs/teachings and how does the congregation take it?? Are they allowed to question the pastor/priests or are they told not question?? For me organization religion is just agreeing to the beliefs of a man/women's interpretation of the bible.....and I just can't be a follower of any of that. If a person wants truth then they research their questions and find answers through critical thinking and evidence. Belief is what you know to be true for you in your heart and not from a result of fear. Thank you again for your humor and all you do! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Exactly true what you say, the bible is only how man interpret it to mean, they could be way off the mark. In my opinion the bible was inspired by Satan, it is Jehovah who is Satan that has promoted himself to be the true God who shows his evil nature throughout the Hebrew scriptures. Nothing in it can be trusted as true.
yeah I was so happy I found that! You are very welcome and thanks for the kind words! they mean very much to me and make me feel better about the world
I’m Episcopalian we’re allowed to question any of the teachings . That ability to question is why we accept modern science. Catholics are allowed to freely question too. No one punishes you for questioning in either faith
@@dancingnature your open minded on a leash. Your given the illusion of critical thinking but your not leaving the mind prison either.
@@dancingnature the fact your religion has a name shows me …. You haven’t asked the right question lol
You know, I never thought of this. God only needs a 1,000 years to prove he is a better ruler of earth. Why is he giving the devil more time?
Love the 🐈
I am a little confused here. Can I tell God to leave my body alone, I just what to stay dead? Will I have a choice?
I had to come back and re-listen after you mentioned the change in your vid about the door visit. So the change is - wicked people judged during and not after 1000 year rule? Them mentioning the past tense (which always bothered me as a PIMI) was useless then.
Hi Wally 🙌🏽
HYYAA! **shine** **shine** forward wave dash and up-smash
Great Job!!!
Always talk to JW to help them to use their critical thinking. Because if they die without accepting Jesus free gift of salvation, they will hear, "I don't know you". That's terrifying.
I am just baffled full stop. Glad I don't have to ty to make sense of this crock anymore
Their new light is actually worse than the old one!
Your facial hair is impeccable. 👌
Good video btw.
How do they justify no witnesses being able to grasp this concept prior to this “new light”?
Jehovah's Witnesses have made adjustments in their understanding of the Bible throughout the years. This is in line with Proverbs 4:18. But the path of the righteous is like the bright Morning Light that grows brighter and brighter until full daylight. One thing that has been made clear in the past 100 years is that Christians should not join the military which wages carnal w a r s. How could one do that and yet be loving his neighbor as himself. In fact, it is extremely rare to find someone who will not go to war. A small number of people are pacifists. But Jehovah's Witnesses consistently refuse to join the military of any nation.
Just wanted to drop a quick "thanks" for the "adjustment in our understanding" regarding the optimal video length. Have a goovile day.
you are welcome. I still think it would be better if I can shave it down to like 15 minutes but we are going in the right direction
