I'm not a exJW, but came from the Catholic Church and feel many of your videos still somewhat reflect my experience with religion, your videos help me understand a decent number of things about myself.
I need to put that on my frig. Jw seem to think what "they" say is the (w)hole truth and nothing butt their truth. They love the attention and shows by how much they brag about trips and then make it sound like they had to go so they could start a babble study in a cave .
@@foxiedogitchypaws7141 - I’ve noticed that asking a J-Dub to explain to me, _with the Bible,_ the Overlapping Generations teaching, shuts their arrogant mouths.
This shit is fire 🔥 Love the delivery and content. Timely too! It took years of being out of the Cult - to realize the language control I was suffering under and the guilt and shame that came with it - and to reclaim my mind from the brainwashing. 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!
I was absolutely thrilled to find an exjw channel with such high production and creativity. Seriously, sometimes I forget I'm watching apostate content. It fits so well into my normal youtube rotation. This is exactly the type of vids we need to get our message to the mainstream
Thank you for sharing this! I'm relatively new to the world of apostates and the LGBTQ+ community (been out for only 2 years), and it was really interesting to learn about our history and the evolution of words. Sending you hugs from Quebec!
I remember as a child hearing some JW commenter during the watchtower lesson describe the Sun as being the actual size of a dinner plate, after the conductor polled some insights about the 'marvels of creation.' I knew I wanted out then and there and would never get babtized. I have studied science, space, lasers, physics, and engineering ever since.
I can't wait to be an out spoken apostate. My mom is still deep in and luckily has not shunned my siblings and I. Once she passes on this will be, it would break her heart if I did it now.
I was to have my dinner when I received the alert to this video. In fact, you caught my complete attention throughout. Quite a didactic one. Thanks, Jeremy.
This is a great channel; you are a blessing to all those caught up in the grips of religious brainwashing. I’m a Christian who believes in the power of God’s mercy, acceptance, and love.
The word "worldly " is pretty much a compliment to normal people, it is an insult in jw lala land and only there. I am out for 35 years now. I had doubts when I was very young. On my D A letter I said I didn't want to be part of the cult / sect (it was in french ). ...when I started looking on Internet, it hit me : it was way worse than I knew!
"worldly" means that you care about this (real) world. It means voting for the right politicians, doing volutary work or, if there's a need, joing army I think this world would be a better place if we had more worldly people
I now have checked out all your content. Please release more for me to binge on. Really enjoyed the demon problems and videos of more thoughtful nature. You're still able to keep a humorous tone in your videos even if they're mostly philosophization.
@@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!
@@sarrormiki3363 That's very sad about the girl at the door. I remember being in the same position. I think you did the best you can do. Just being kind can make a lot of impact to dismantle their idea of worldly people being awful and cruel. Without thorough knowledge of the doctrine, I wouldn't engage in a debate - just kindly decline and ask them not to call back.
I loved your comments on the Saucy Pics video. You got one thing wrong, though. The image with the four angels looking down on the beautiful ladies? That wasn't a cloud they were resting on. It was one long pillow! And the one on the left that was looking like his hand was shaking? He was just showing off his finger techniques to his buds.
Do they not realise that "Apostate" comes from the Latin word "Apostata", with means "runaway slave"? They're basically admitting that their followers are slaves...
I wasn't a JW, but I survived a cult. The insult they used the most with me was "mundana" (worldly). When you mentioned it, oh boy, it hit home. I'm now happy to be a "worldly woman" and I live under my own rules and I am happier than ever being "a Jezebel". ❤🎉
I love your videos. This one is explaining things I didn't know. Except for the jw's stuff. Why is it so pleasant to watch your videos? I guess you are a good person. . !
The Jedi wouldn’t really regard Asokha as an apostate. They don’t hate people who leave the Order or forbid Jedi from interacting with them unless they fall to the dark side, which most Jedi who leave the Order don’t.
I subscribed a long time ago, but I did because of the name of your channel, prior to watching any of your videos. The name coveyed that you were doing anti JW activism, and that you weren't going to be apologetic about it, you know, no fucks given. SIGN ME UP.
They do! I got them at Target. 😅 I'm not sure if they still carry them, though. I'm due for an appointment. It will be disappointing if they're not there when I go back!
Thank you for your informative videos. It seems to me that, irregardless of sexual orientation, being raised within a Jehovah Witness household is rough. I'm curious whether anyone knows the statistics of which percentage of children so raised leave the denomination/cult once reaching adulthood? I was raised in a different Christian cult (UPCI). My childhood experience had parallels with kids raised in JW, Mormon, and other cults. In my own immediate family NONE of the younger members stayed within the cult!
Homophobia makes everything gay. Two guys holding hands shouldn't mean that they're in romantic relationships. Maybe they're friends who like showing affection? Nah, "real" men don't show affection. They only feel lust (for women) and anger (for woke commercials)
I don't know ancient Greek, but in modern Greek "apostasy" simply means distance (απόσταση). So the word is pretty common in the news these days and not frowned upon at all - apostasy keeps other people safe.
Wow, Germ you’ve actually got the Israelites worshiping Baal up there! I knew at 8, that the JWs were wrong from that picture alone. I knew I would have jar in my hand and being all over whoever was in front me, if I had been in that enviable painting. I knew that at 8.
I know this probably is an unwanted comment. What is your opinion of veganism? I would be interested to hear what you think about it. You talk about philosophy and religion on your channel Veganism being a philosophy to cause the least suffering where possible to everyone. I just watched some of your videos today. Wish you all the best.
I think I can offer a little bit of excuse for using the word publisher like they do. Whatchtower is a Publishing Company and if you are a Jehovah's Witness you work for Watchtower. Therefore you are a publisher. That's just the way that I personally see the way they're looking at it.
I can understand reapropriate of the word "apostate", but not The word "mentaly diseasy". Actualy when i hear this word i use a opportunity to tell about jw statistic of depression and anothers psychologic conditions.
So if "Apostate" means 'freed slave' then that would mean they are truly slaves to their cruel god, because they don't realize JWs are going to be forced to work on their unachievable fantasy world while never being able to enjoy any part of it
