    This shit is fire 🔥 Love the delivery and content. Timely too!

I hope videos like this speed up the process for ones leaving now.

    I loved this video! Im a gay man too, and I’ve always struggled with the word queer. I feel like this next generation has claimed it, which is fantastic, but for people our age, I feel like it’s still a loaded word. That being said, I’ve never heard a better defense for using it and reclaiming it, despite the pain it may have once caused so many, myself included.
    Thank you so much for all your videos. I’m actually a Christian as well, so I love hearing your journey, both as a once devout JW but as a fellow gay man too. I wish you well on your continuing adventure!

      @@MentallyDiseased I never knew JWs were this culty! I find this stuff super fascinating! Yours and telltale's videos give me so much insight on their belief system. I always thought they didn't have to go door to door preaching if they didn't want to. It's mental to think that something like this exists today! I'm a young adult now but years ago I remember opening a door to a JW teenage girl. She asked me a question about life after death, handed me a pamphlet and I remember how embarrassment was written all over her face as her father watched how she performed a meter behind her. She was actually shaking, perhaps talking to sb her age of the opposite sex even made it worse but I was home alone at that time. I was just kind to her and said something vague. I haven't been able to shake off her face from my memory and having watched your videos I wish I could've done something... like given her my phone number somehow so she could talk to sb outside the cult. Or had the guts to say that I hoped she'd some day escape that cult. How are we to act to JWs as people who have never been in the organization and don't know much about it? Especially if it's a teenager on your door. I know telltale is a fan of just keeping them away with the apostate signs. Good luck and have fun making new videos friend!
