"I have to resist independent thinking" WOW! They really just say the quiet part out loud through a megaphone, huh?
They are too confident now💀💀
Not even trying to be subtle 😬
When they started that BS I was on my way out mentally
Might as well just put up a sign that says "Big Brother is always watching you".
@@mando9364 more like big daddy😂
JW: "I didn't sign the petition."
Watch Tower: "And I am so proud of you!"
JW: "I then lost my job. I'm homeless and hungry. So, so, hungry."
Watch Tower: "Eh, Jehovah will help you figure it out. Thanks for all your years of donations!"
"We'll pray for you" 😂
hahahaha.. Yes , you're starving and homeless so you call the elder gestapo ..they tell you : Take it to Jehovah in Prayer 😂😂😂😂😂.. yeah , I know first hand how that doesn't work..
😅😅
Thoughts and prayers
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Watchtower:Who needs actual food when you have spiritual food!
I must admit, I was one of those idiots who wrote to Putin. Can't take it back no matter how much I wish I could...
Same here my friend :/
Same friend! I just sat there and soaked it up. It did always bother me that we had to obey men and good people would die…well I woke up!
@@1991LMR me too... At least... I learnt how to send a card 😆
Its amazing what some of us do when under the spell of a cult for me never again May Jesus be with all those that are awake now
Same 🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣
Love how they portray all "worldly" people as a-holes. Nobody acts like that. The cashier in the propaganda skit might get written up or fired if they really treated a customer like that.
I think in all reality a homophobic customer would be the one to yell at the cashier for “pushing an ideology”
Actually I have been treated like that for nothing by service people and wish I was able to get them in trouble some way. Most of the time I would never go out my way to get anyone fired. Those times they didn't give a shit.
@@carlismycati promise you service people receive 10x more than they give back when it comes to attitude. So rest easy.
This. I'm always kind to the local JWs whenever I see them, to show them that we're not all just arseholes like the "worldly people" in their videos.
@@carlismycat Go away Karen
(I've never been JW) As a kid my JW friend was genuinely so shook and mortified when I told her I wasn't JW, she started saying how we can't be together in paradise unless I convert and she was super distressed about it...this was my first experience with JWs so I was very puzzled. Looking back I feel so horrible for her.
..imagine how she must have felt when her parents told her that her new friend was doomed and wasn't going to have an afterlife :( hope she's doing good now♡
Damn.. I couldn't even imagine that poor child not allowed to be friends with someone because someone else isn't apart of the same freaking religion. :(
JWs don't believe in an afterlife
@@1Sunny0 thankfully we were allowed to be friends BUT her parents did tell her that we wont see eachother in paradise :(
@@danaj-b9452 Awh. Their parents seem so mean. I mean, it's just a child. It just feels like the parents were trying to push negative stuff towards the kid, and that's wrong!
@@1Sunny0 Yep happened to me. AS the child of a newly studying JW mom. My friend wrote me (we wrote letters because no cell phones then) to teller she was not allowed to associate with me. Her family wa Baptist. I had told her about this new religion my mom got into and I guess it scared her mom. She could have at least told me WHY as it was the early days and I knew nothing yet about it. I was 12. My other friend , stopped writing me for the same reason. Their moms could have told them to warn me. I had no idea. I was just a kid.
“There’s no room in paradise for the rainbow people” sent me 💀
Me, who dresses in all black like I'm Gojo Satoru: MY TIME HAS COME
YES ⚡⚡
it's the truth
@@TheGayBlackMen Your "truth"
Based Christians
Why does the church meetings look like corporate board meetings with men in suits?
Because it IS a corporation
Cold, clinical and sterile. If you've heard one JW you've heard them all - what they say and how they say it is the same no matter where they are. When I was a pioneer the manager of the local Christian bookshop told me, you JW's are like sausages - all the same.
JWs are cult operating as a business or a business operating as a cult
This. Also I love how the "elders" characters are sitting around talking about people who aren't present. Sharing their private life experiences and challenges around the table as examples. I know they are fictional characters and maybe gave permission for their challenging personal stories to be shared in meetings like this, but to me it feels so invasive and gossipy to be talking about other people's experiences like this.
Looks like 1965 hell no women in power and the one muli 🙄
"I felt so persecuted by making gay people feel uncomfortable" so brave, so powerful
For the gays part I can understand like you cannot force someone to support your cause especially if this person doesn't approve it
@@maximusconstantine2005 And that's chill. But if someone asked me to wear an Israel/Palestine flag, I wouldn't loudly express my contempt for useless western protesters and virtue signalling, I would just say so kind but I'm not supposed to wear symbols due to my job. You can de-escalate without being a prick.
@@laurabayford1987 I'm not a JW but all she did was simply just declined it, and then they came at her in an aggressive verbal manner. Gays shouldn't be allowed to force their sins onto others.
@@thehistoadian first of all being gay isn't a sin. that bible passage was mistranslated, as it actually says "Man shall not lie with boy" second, none of us are "forcing" anything on anyone. thats not what it's about. it's about the fact that when people like you say or think things like what you said is what contributes to us not being able to have basic human rights.
@@mrprocrastination25 You have been misinformed about the Bible passage being mistranslated. It is a common rumor being spread recently. The Hebrew original text uses the word זָכָר which means man, male. It has no specific meaning of boy or younger person. Interesting fact: Jews take this so seriously that to this day men are not allowed to sleep in the same bed even if they do not touch each other. Additionally, in the New Testament (which was written in Greek) Paul reiterates this. He does not use the English word "homosexuals" (because English did not exist yet obviously) but he did use the word ἀρσενοκοῖται which translates to "male-bedders". You may support lgbtq if you wish, but please do not distort the Christian and Jewish peoples' word of God in order to do so. Also, I should point out that in the western world, homosexual people have access to wealth, food, shelter, health care, even marriage and pride parades, so it is disingenuous to say that they do not have "basic human rights".
My God, the Watchtower isn't even trying to make their religion look appealing to outsiders. That skit where the old lady was happy to be reassigned to the other congregation, and the elder in the background smiling when he heard the old lady shut the other two women down, made me cringe so hard.
They just need to hold members by fear
Grandma has been programed for years .. She will comply ..😂
yeah, this was where I lost the cringe challenge too
I had 2 girls knock on my door, and they were JWs. I didn't know until near the end because i ended up asking them.
I didn't have it in my heart to be mean to them because they were young, probably in their late teens early 20s and I just couldn't imagine having to do that knowing they probably get really horrible interactions.
Well, they showed up again and gave me a flyer and told me to look into the religion. Im obviously not interested but I wasn't even angry for them bugging me.
Those girls should be enjoying their summer, not putting themselves in danger by knocking on strangers' doors.
The weird part is I loved talking with them other than their religion it was always a positive interaction, they can do so much more than becoming indoctrinated.
I never even realized how high their kidnapped rating is by knocking alone on people’s doors
@turkey4802 Wow that's really scary.
I was concerned when I saw it was just 2 young girls. Like why would they allow for them to knock on strangers doors alone? There's weirdos out there.
Mormons I believe, just have the guys go door to door.
I knocked on doors to sell candy and school supplies in the summer. Never considered it dangerous lol.
@@KetsaKunta How young were you?
@@KetsaKuntasame here. I sold butterfly pins lol
I'm pretty sure telling someone they'll get fired if they don't sign it is illegal.
Not really. Not if it's one employee warning another employee about corruption of upper management
@@nathanhaines1721 Depending on the country I'm pretty sure that is illegal, at least on paper. Granted it's insanely hard to prove so the company or union or government branch would have to behave egregiously, document it, and fail to hire lawyers who can cover all of that up.
This is the comment I was looking for. The guy pushing and threatening the guy’s job is setting himself up for such a lawsuit. No labor union worth joining is going to put their cause at risk like this.
@@nathanhaines1721 it's illegal, bud.
Depends where i would say.
8:23 As a gay guy... When I saw this on the meeting...
Damn, I cried like half an hour... I felt so... Humiliated, guilty, like crap... My fatherand som brothers started to pressure me to get baptized...
And, well... The flu*ing fear that they implanted on my brain, sometimes I had nightmares with the Armageddon killing me.
Now I'm happy living with a gay couple :V... They're my friends... And they respect me like nobody has ever...
As someone who is non-binary and bicurious, i always felt extreme guilt from basic stupid shit. It's unreal the guilt trips. I'm glad you're in a better spot
@@ravenblackwing7888 the guilt crush the soul so mad...
glad your ok now
as a gay and trans individual myself, im so proud of you, im so sorry for what you've gone through, ive been in that exact position :(
If you're gay you need to be born again because it is an abomination
If you remove the sappy music, this looks outright evil. A bunch of men on suits talking about how the constrict their people, like, I don't get how they can think they are the good guys, even in this short that despict them as the victim, they look bad.
LMAO Supervillian meeting
@@amazinglynoone yeah, that's the vibe
The bracelet one sounds like a fake story you’d here floating around Facebook with a minion next to it.
Also it didn't get it: What kind of place was that in the story? A lesbian market place?
@@Tabascofanatikerin wait is that a fr real thing? that sounds like smth you would read about in a book.
Why do they all talk like robots..
Signing the papers is like eating a birthday cupcake
I noticed that too. Every single video looks like it’s been dubbed over in post too
That's what indoctrination does to people. They act like this in real life too. They shut down any critical thinking, and believes blindly in whatever their leaders tell them. After some time, it takes a toll on their own personality, which is replaced by JW teaching.
When you control the way people think and speak, this might create some with no talent in acting
“Hey I heard you’re feeling sad… if we look here at page 47 section b, 5.07, it says that you shouldn’t, so don’t!!”
Well actually JW's can't eat cupcakes
As soon as i see the fake smiles and fake love i immediately cringe, i always lose so fast.
Me too, its just the minute i hear all the bible quotes and the horrific lack of emotion in the speech
I vividly remember the bracelet video. It was the first thing they put out that made me extremely uncomfortable, embarrassed, and disappointed. I was a fully believing witness, and it would be years before I woke up, but I never agreed with their views on gay people, women, and abortion. Cognitive dissonance hit hard when I saw this hateful trash.
saying no to the bracelet is okay and saying yes too, i dont see any problem with not wearing it, imagine you dont wear a pride shirt does not mean you are homophobic,.The other women overeacted for no reason.
@@l.lawliet2821The whole video was over acting and overly dramatic..
@@l.lawliet2821 realistically youre right but things are different in jw land
I am not of the LGBTQ society, I would respectfully say NO and leave, not creating a scene like the way this JW woman did
Indeed it’s culty. Exceedingly so. Makes me so sad children watch these videos. What a horrible way to grow up.
It was the only thing I was allowed to watch for much of my childhood.
When you’re a Born in JW you live in a “BOX” and you can only wonder what’s it like living outside of the “BOX” …. Thinking outside of the “BOX” was forbidden !!! 🙁
@@madisonmmurphyI hope you're doing well now. I've 2 daughters about (from the picture) your age, and I raised them to think independently and use their judgement as much as possible, it's quite the opposite of what the JW are doing. I hope you took your adult life back. No children should be enrolled in anything by force.
Yes, it was. Thank you for your pity, sincerely.
Is it me, or do these people talk like robots.. they sound like they're AI generated.. 💀
Most JW members talk like that but some nonchalant
All pimi Jws sound and act like robots
@@KeithBryantOfficial you can find at most 3 that are chill.

That's how they're programmed.
10/10 on the Cult Meter
I've been away for a month and am catching up. This is awful. They're all speaking like mafia dons and creating a state of fear that is actually non-existent. Thanks so much Panda. Excellent as usual. ❤
So happy you woke up!!!❤❤❤ I was inactive but still held by guilt and shame. I woke up recently. This is so much better. All my love!! Actual love. Not the fake shit.
The bracelet incident is more confusing..she goes to a market and there are only women shopping? Where are the men shopping? Subliminal message..only women do domestic tasks? Also, Sister Spencer hasn't aged in 15 years...the JW should be bottling what she's taking
What do you mean subliminal message? Did you see ANY woman in the directors' board? Men must lead, women must stay at home and obey. It is so in your face, nothing subliminal about it.
Do they think that the justifiably angry householder is just going to accept it when religion is destroyed? It doesn't make sense since he's obviously passionate about it
The manager who’s asking for the signature was genuinely looking out for him, just signing the paper could save his career cuz at least his chance of getting laid off are equal to everyone else. It looks like he’s a blue collar worker and if people find out you didn’t sign they’ll assume you don’t want your job that badly and they’ll ALL jump on you and say you should get laid off first. When I was younger I thought that the manager was super worldly and pressuring him but the whole thing is out the managers control. He’s just trying to get thru to him
21:11
Independent thinking JW is an oxymoron. There's no such thing as an independent thinking JW, or any religious zealot for that matter.
If so, then they will leave immediately, as the cognitive dissonance will be too much to endure.
Well that is what sort of happens how they leave.
@@carlismycatTrue.
That one where the lady didn't want to wear that lgbt bracelet had me laughing. It was giving me some serious flashbacks to that episode of Seinfeld where everyone gets mad at Kramer because he didn't want to wear the AIDS ribbon.
My grandmother had somone on her side of her family actually go insane because of this cult. The women that went insane was already not mentally stable and when she started to learn about amragedon she couldnt deal with the thought that she or someone she knew would be sluaghtered because they didnt belive or obeyed.
When I was 18 I began studying with my aunt. I had nothing else better to do at the time. Maybe a year out of high school,still a kid try to figure shite out. As we progressed into studying,I had questions. They didn't have the right answers. The stuff they preached scared the shite out of me. I stopped studying. Eventually so did my aunt. Anyway I became depressed and had thoughts of taking my life. I became pissed at god,God, and all the bullshite. A friend said that I had been spiritually raped. I was lost and afraid. It took years for me to come to terms with what happened to me. I'm much better now. But as far as I'm concerned JW is one of the biggest,gaslighting brainf**kers in the world. I'm so glad my aunt and I got out when we did.
@@moondoll787 jw is insane it's literally a doomsday cult. I praise God but I don't praise God out of fear but out of love and respect, as it should be. We shouldn't be fear mongered into worship.
Fear is great motivation to continually give money to a small group of men so that they can have both money and power, just like a kind and just God would want.
"god loves you."
"as long as you pay him a bunch of money."
_JW's apparently
14:57 She literally just dodged the question cause it would just make it sound ridiculous if she answered honestly 😂
The real answer is that the governing body wants weaker bonds to the family in favour of stronger bonds to the governing body. Plus, if you get people to blindly obey small, inconsequential-seeming rules, you can crank gradually crank up the blind obedience to more insidious things.

What’s crazy is that, if Armageddon does happen, these guys won’t be saved 1:00
YOU DON’T CHOOSE YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION!!!!!! There’s lots of LGBT people in their religion but most are afraid to be true to themselves.
The video about the bracelets hurt me so much as a kid, I could feel my heart aching in my chest. I was a closeted Trans Queer kid and now adult, so needless to say, I cried when I first saw that, realizing I would never be able to come out. I have now, so lmao, that's good (I left)
That segment with sister Spencer, the brother is comparing being nervous to her traumatic experience of getting threats of being mauled by an aggressive dog. I HATE when they say “we all get nervous” like NO, people have real social anxiety and trauma from terrible experiences knocking on doors. It’s literally the absolute worst having to walk up to people and tell them their religion is false, it’s insanity!!
Wait so let me get this straight, these guys were basically raised their entire life thinking they were going to witness THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE in their lifetime and that they have to prepare for it, my god that sounds like a very deeply traumatizing way to live.
It always strikes me how negatively they portray "worldly people". Like we're all corrupt and hostile, and they want to terrify their members into staying in the fold.
There's a JW meeting hall near me. I see them frequently, out on the street corners with their literature stands, on my way into town. I always make a point of meeting their eye, giving them a warm smile and saying hi to them as I walk past. I know they've probably been given this extremely negative portrayal of "worldly people", so I try and counteract that in the hopes that if any of them are having doubts and wanting to leave, maybe it will make the "outside world" feel less scary. I genuinely worry for young people in this religion. It must be tough.
It's not tough it's abusive!
14:32 look at the elder standing behind, overhearing the conversation, and be prepared to “consult” the women to adjust their thinking.
What's with their tone of voice? It is creepy.
They're mentally exhausted
“None of us are professional actors”
dead inside, their thinking has been ripped away
I was the union representative for the company I worked for. The portrayal of the guy who refused to sign the papers is spot on.
We had one particular guy in the JW, and he was a huge zealot. He always wanted the benefits, but he always wanted to "stay neutral," so I made sure he couldn't distribute or bring anything from the JW at work.
In Canada, and especially in Québec, we have laws preventing anything religious at work. Even in lunch/break times.
As an elected union leader, it was my job to ensure these laws were respected. Let's say I got both eyes on him at all times. Guys elected me at 98% (493 people, from 1995 to 2015, so almost all the years I worked for the company) exactly because they knew that I would make sure everyone was treated equally.
this is so dystopian
The overuse of "encouraging" is where I lose every time.
I cringed at the point when the guy suggested not signing a petition would result in the boss firing someone - bosses aren't exactly font of workers standing up for themselves.
When did I cringe? The stupid expression on that woman who thought she was being persecuted because someone asked her to contribute to the marathon. And I don't believe the story anyway. I've never been pressured like that in my life to give money to any cause. The whole thing was a fantasy.
Fr they are making sure everything will make the protagonist look like she’s being persecuted even tho the final render of the video will look so unlikely to happen irl
As a gay Christian, I'm so frustrated by the rhetoric displayed by the JWs propaganda videos. I'm a lesbian and I'm also proud to be a follower of God. Those two aspects of my life aren't in conflict when it comes to my relationship with God. But what makes it hard is trying to find a Church that'll welcome me as I am. But I'm forever faithful to God.

The whole "judge not, lest you be judged" passage has conveniently been omitted from the JW Bible (New World Translation), so it's cool. 🙈
You can't pray the gay away 🏳🌈❤
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
@@ezechiwoke So, which one am I?
9:25 I can proudly say that I once got a JW to the point where he got as loud as the gentleman here.
As a practicing Germanic pagan, I have to listen to a lot of nonsense from Christians and as a result I have become relatively versed in the Bible.
He really freaked out when, as an "idol worshiper," wo sacrifces Chhildren, I brought up Yehovah's baby slaughter in the OT, the story of the bear that killed the boys because they laughed at a prophet, and what Lot did near Sodom.
Would I have to choose a particular belief, that's the one I would choose. At least, it's based on nature and the cycles of lifes, equinoxes and solstices. That's very similar to what my ancestors used to practice ( I'm from Alsace, France Bas-Rhin or 67, as we used to says, but I live in Canada since 1993) before catholics and other abrahamic religion usurped their places. I visited many places that were used as worship by older European people and these places still have some kind of energy into them, even after thousands of years. It's hard to describe. The dolmens and stones are still there.
Teens/Young adults*
Believe me when I say that using a "what about the Old Testament" is nowhere near as good of an argument as you think if you admit that paganism also used to practice the same bad stuff
I never can understand why non-Christians think the examples of God taking back life in the Bible is somehow the equivalent of pagans and modern pro-abortionists sacrificing their children. God is the one gave life to all in the first place, He has the right to take it back whenever He sees fit.
Child sacrifice, however, is done by the people to whom God entrusted the children to raise, who are failing the duty God gave them in the worst possible way.
The prophet Elisha called down the bears on the mob of boys because they were threatening him. It was a large crowd of youths - not little boys - young men aged around 14 to 20. The same age the majority of the most troublesome criminals are. And they were insinuating he was a leper or something similar - that's what the word "baldhead", refers to. The bears happened because Elisha was in danger, not just because a prophet of God had to hear a few nasty words.
The Bible doesn't condone anything Lot did in or near Sodom except leave it; the rest is just describing what he did. Doesn't mean it's what God approved of.
@@Renan-n3y Fun fact: We don't deny that our gods aren't a dear heavenly father like Yaweh.
And that's why we don't feel so bad about the fact that we are not a religion of peace whose holy book is full of violence and that we have slaughtered ourselves across the globe as a result of tolerance and charity.
Which doesn't force us to deny or show "it's not that bad" coping.
All of the situations have a 0.000000000001 chance to happen. This is so ridiculous
I disagree. Lots of pissed off Southern Baptists with dogs out there.
The crazy thing is, in the same book that says you can't be gay, it also says you can't wear mixed fabrics, they don't seem to have a problem with that
I have fond memories of householders threatening me with their dogs
The lady who “studied” me had a story she would tell her studies. It was how her family used to sick their clan of chihuahua dogs on the jw who would go door to door on their neighborhood. And how now their whole family r jw.
Did anyone notice that their attempt at being diverse named a man of color Luther… which In sure they were trying to allude to Martin Luther king jr without realizing that Martin Luther is called Martin Luther because his dad loved Martin Luther’s peaceful protest of the Roman church…. Protesting the government…. Like bros
The brainwashing is so incredibly strong. I still marvel that I ever made it out!
Ex mormon here, i am glad to learn about your background through your channel! Keep it up!
10/10 on the cult meter for me. This might be one of the more creepy videos you’ve made. Keep up the good work!
JW Armageddon images were nightmare fuel when I was a kid. Absolutely bonkers!! The JW prophesy books is even worse
Jw: Hey i would like to give you this tract.
Random dude: hm, let’s see… Ok, so you mean to tell me, that the UN is gonna destroy, like, for example, catholic cathedrals, that are potentially UNESCO world heritage sites, just because they have smthn to do with some religion? Why would the UN F*KING DO THAT!?!?
Jw: AH IM BEING SO PERSECUTED RIGHT NOW!!! Daddy Watchtower, help meeeeeee!
It’s so ridiculous. I told my mom (a JW) that the UN won’t ever do that even If they wanted to (I tried to convince her that she was in a cult)
And she responded « in the last days, the UN will reveal their true motives which is bringing peace to the world, and they will think religion is bad and destroy it » (because of political conflicts caused by extremist Islamic groups i guess ?!) yeah it was such a ridiculous response I mean cmon why would UN ever do this ?! The JW members are truly insane 😭
I like how in this video all the people in charge are men. Loving the casual misogyny
Honestly them rearranging the congregations helped me leave 😂 I had no family members breathing down my neck about getting ready or going to meetings and then covid hit and I dipped and never looked back. Thanks watchtower for helping me to fade!! Preciate ya bro
If not for our military..they wouldn’t even be able to preach
So here's my little story
My parents never were fully JW, but we lived with my grandma, who is THE MOST devoted JW i know. She teached me some stuff when i was younger and, hearing so much shit about the apocalypse and about heaven, and how only real JWs would get to heaven, made me so fucking anxious and scared of death that when i was at school and it started to rain, i had a crisis because i feared it might be the end of the fucking world.
And, imagine how it was. Being a small child, away from home, thinking that god was going to fucking destroy the world and i wouldnt be saved because i wasnt a JW fully or because i liked Star Wars and "mAgIC BaD".
It was awful.
Edit: Holy shit the comment on "Independent Thinking" took me off guard
@@dib_human6151 Many JW’s would rather be on Government assistance programs instead of working for a living because like you said they were told over and over again that Armageddon is just around the corner or we’re living in last of the last days of the final last days !!! 🤔🤨🤣
I understand the fear you had. I was kinda raised like that too except my whole fking family was JW so it was harder to get out of the cult but I was always worried that I wouldn’t be able to play Mario galaxy 2 anymore because of the paradise lol. I’m glad I’ve gotten out of the cult
neutrality is a political position though. If you don't say what you think, yyou are supporting the status quo by being silent. There is no such thing as political neutrality
Inaction is support of the oppressor. The only way to change is to act against it.
Silence is Golden. Shouldn’t mean neutrality, just that you’re going to walk away because you’re not about to get into a conversation with a stranger that could become passionate. Period. You might have strong opinions but are wise enough to not get engaged in other people’s bull 💩at the moment.
figuring this out takes critical thinking though

Around 15:00 - the conversation between sisters regarding the division of congregations...This is how POLICEMEN talk. And the sharky look of that man, overseeing their conversation is beyond sinister... Run away. RUN FAST. **RUN**
I left out when the first story The guy didn't let us know if the man remained on the job or if you got let go because he refused to sign the petition. I mean can you believe what Jehovah would think if you just start writing your name down and sheets of paper with other words on them. Some of those sheets of paper with words may have good things and they may have bad things but it's best not to sign anything as Jehovah has stated many a time. When the bill collectors come calling he always tells them "the checks in the mail". Even though only a couple of thousand of us will be sent to heaven the other 99% of us will enjoy Paradise but bland. It's like drinking a flat lukewarm pop that's been sitting there for a day.
I just love how the guy who got the pamphlet just instantly went to _"If I ever see your face around here again I'm gonna have my dog eat you alive"_ level rage
6:29 major cringe. That's unrealistic, too. I've never heard of anyone forcing someone to wear a rainbow bracelet.
I feel like even if that psycho dude did set his dogs (!!!!!) on the two women, they'd have enough of a case against him to have him put away for attempted murder. But then again, I don't know. Do JW also have a weird policy against interacting with law enforcement/courtroom stuff?
JWs are free to take the matter to police if they are physically assaulted by worldly people. Even when out in the ministry. btw I woke up 19 years ago, so my knowledge might be out of date.
How do they define the word neutral? He picked a side by not signing.
The second one with the girl not wanting a bracelet is weird bc not a single person would react like the woman yelling at her.
The persecution complex of these people is through the roof.
There’s a literal photo of the rapture in my school but dude its so cool lol. It was a drawing done by an old student and it had the coolest biblically accurate angels, influenced my style so much from how much it inspired me to draw those things
So, Watchtower wants these women to get mauled or attacked by either that man or his dog and that being terrified to the point where she doesn't witness, she's the bad guy?
Their safety isn't important compared to the ego and will of the church leaders
I knew JW’s families who lived in Government low income housing and had Welfare benefits if they were to be Neutral they shouldn’t be using Government assistance programs… Double standards at its finest !!! 😂
Queto mi ha dato sempre fastidio ,dire di non fare parte di questo mondo, e poi prendere tutto quello che il governo da ,come la società Watchtower prende volentiri soldi statali tipo Svezzia e altri ,m
Norway has taken away WT organization state money because they’re now considered a CULT And not a religion !!!
That's NOT a double-standard. Being neutral means not voting and/or getting involved in political and social controversies. Jehovah's Witnesses pay taxes as the Bible and the law require, so they're entitled to the benefits the government provides.
@@CoolBreeze250 Theses were Able bodied JW’s who could work for a living but chose not to instead use Government assistance programs and waiting on Armageddon to happen !!!
These JW’s were able bodied to work for a living instead they chose not to by using government assistance programs because they believe Armageddon was just around the corner or thought we’re living in the Last Days so why bother getting work when in their minds they’re looking at the reward of living in paradise earth !!! 🤨🤔
yayayay our fav panda is back
9:17
That skit didn't make me cringe, I thought it was so over the top that it was funny. It's been so long since they didn't have any contact with people outside of JW that they always portray outsiders as ill mannered bullies. Nobody care this much about what they say, that they will get this angry when they read something from the JW.
But the JW tends to get angry very easily when you're telling them that theirs books have absolutely no grip on you, and that you don't want to live in fear. They almost plugg their ears like a child would do and refuse any logic arguments.
"But but the bible says.." The bible or any other book have no power on what I do or think. For them, it's unthinkable.
JW's could counter with arguments that are allegedly supported by the Bible. Unfortunately, that opens up an ugly can of worms.
Numerous biblical passages have been omitted from the JW New World Translation that are found in almost all other Christian Bibles.
A prospective convert also could ask why the JW faith currently follows the 2013 edition NWT, though it lacks selections of "the incorruptible holy Word" that were in the 1984 edition NWT.
I cringed in the persecution complex part lol
"You think my religion is false and yours' is true?!"
Yap, exactly how a JW talks
Also why does it has to be false religion?
Why can't it be called "other religion" so that it does not offend others and does not feed that gigantic ego and superiority complex of JWs?
bros created a sectarian german shepherd 😭💀☝🏽
6:44 WTF? I’ve never ever seen anything like this happen and I’m 63.
Same, I'm 42 and people do not behave like this. No one gives af if you don't take a bracelet or make a donation or whatever.
12:20 damn, didn't know PTSD could be resolved that easily * takes notes * /s
The victim complex is insane. I cringed way to much.
These JW short films are like movies from another planet, cause this is not how the real world works
I want to talk about 17:16, The kid looked genuinely scared as he looked at that picture and I really don't blame him🤷🏾♀️
I'm 14 years old, a Lutheran (im kind of questioning my Christianity right now.. Idk) and I remember 7 years ago, my mom gifted me this JW book, I was raised in a religious family but it wasn't that strict compared to other families so it wasn't odd to get religious books from time to time, anyways, I had this book, I think it was called 'What does the Bible teaches?' But it was translated to my native language.
Okay, so as a 7 year old, I was excited to get that book because I thought I would receive the typical colourful Bible stories for kids...
It was the *COMPLETE* opposite, it was dreadful, I didn't enjoy the book as it constantly spoke of feelings and the duty to preach before it's too late. In the later chapters it started to talk about the end of times and the Armageddon. The pictures and the drawings made the 7 year old me scared as fuck, I remember there was a deadass picture of a woman and a child crying and injured. Like HOW THE HELL!? and it looked very realistic, fooling the 7 year old me straight up.
I can recall crying in the dining room because I was scared of the upcoming 'doomsday'. My mom left for a business trip and I was scared that something might happen to her, I became more anxious and paranoid after I finished the book. That I would get destroyed in this 'doomsday' unless I joined JW. Ugh. Mind you I was 7 at that time.
Now, currently as I get more information about the Jehovah's Witnesses. I feel an immense amount of pity and sadness for these people and especially the kids in this cult who go through this everyday and have a very few chance of being free... Truly saddening.
I lost, cringed at 0:31
Yeah but they sure didn’t mind writing to Putin in mass protest.
"It takes a lot of courage to remain ignorant, indoctrinated and indolent"
Hi, Panda! This non-JW Christian sends you greetings from Little Rock, AR, where the JWs here had their convention two weeks ago. I love the work on your channel; hence my membership. 6:28 was my “cringe” moment! Gay people do not choose to have a “lifestyle”-they are born that way! Also, in my 25-year retail career, the stores I’ve worked at never tried to force LGBTQ pride on customers. In fact, no store really does, and that makes me angry that JWs would perpetuate such a myth. Also, in the first segment, no job that me, my two sisters, or my parents ever held never forced us to sign any petition on a political cause under the threat of termination. No job ever does that! That video truly is persecution porn at its highest, and I wish you’d do the other video on that same convention where another JW lady said, “I just want my beliefs to be respected”. That one really set me off! Thanks again, and keep these videos coming!
Hey! Thank you for your support :) glad to have u with us
I just wish my JW friend won't have her soul taken by this religion before it's too late. She seemed so nice and respected the fact that some within the friend circle are Catholic and have an atheist within it. She doesn't try to convert us or anything.
Just wish she steps out of that cult, though unlikely considering her family is religious
Please help I’m still in the 20th circle of hell for playing Mario kart 7
I'm telling you guys, if the whole _"Oohh that one world government is going to remove all other false religion and then persecute us"_ happens, they are most likely going to be on the one world government's side, not the persecuted side.
How can you remain neutral when your livelihood and those that depend on you for that income to survive is at risk? There are times to remain neutral and times where you just have to take a side.
@@Neku628 Many JW’s would rather be on Government assistance programs instead of working for a living because they’ve been told over and over that Armageddon is just around the corner or we’re living in the last of the last days of our final days !!! 🤨🤔🤣
Many JW’s would rather depend on Government assistance programs instead of working a job…WT GB’s make them believe Armageddon is just around the corner and we’re living in the last of the last days !!!
Being Neutral doesn’t pay the Bills or put food on the table !!! News flash if you think WT GB’s is going to help think again the JW elder’s will tell you to seek out Government assistance programs !!!!
So they complain about division in the world but they refuse to be agreeable over something so simple
Ummm. Am I the only one that saw the Masonic Symbol in this JW video.
That poor kid was trying so hard not to smile during his lines
😂 omg, this is truly sick.
Oh god,this one is gonna be wild
I lost it at the gay bracelet scene. I had to pause it so many times just to get through it.
can confirm that i woke up one day and said "I'm gonna be queer now"
Same here🙏
No worldly people are like this
9:35 Idk why I thought he was gonna say "set my dog on fire" 😭
SAME 😭
Dude was hardcore eves dropping
