It's all about CONTROL! In this 2nd part to the video series asking if JWs are a cult, we will go over a few ways the Watchtower controls the lives and mindsets of its members.
*Since many in the EXJW community are still recovering from religious trauma, this channel is purely for discussing JW and EXJW culture. This channel will not be used to promote Atheism, Christianity or any other belief systems.

Excellent video , I told my elder brother I was really disturbed about the watchtower becoming an NGO of the United Nations for almost 10 years ! 3 months have passed by and he’s never bought it up or said anything about my feelings on that topic again ! The mind control is amazing !

@@exjwdiaries Outstanding videos!!! I was never a JWs and my only experience with their church was agreeing to do Bible Studies with them in college. This lasted several months and ended when I graduated and moved back home. These were very awkward Bible Studies because the JWs never answered any of my critical thinking questions...not even one! They often tried to rush through lessons knowing a critical question 🙋 would come up. I would ask a question and then total silence! After the silence they'll say, "You know due to limited time let's not get off course or we'll research and address that for next week studies" What they could not get was that I sincerely wanted to understand their teachings but more importantly wanted clarification and irrefutable proof directly from the Bible which ironically one was never opened. It was all digital literature from an iPad and click this verse here. I realized that I was receiving a lot of answers that couldn't be questioned and had a lot of questions they wouldn't answer. In conclusion I could never join a group or church were I could not question their teachings for further clarification or understanding. It's literally a form of mind control at that point if I did.

What a great video Justin! Especially love the Tesla analogy!!!!! It’s so blatant to us that are on the outside to see how this Org deceives their members. I give you a lot of credit escaping this cult knowing how much you would loose. My husbands family are devout JWS. They’ve been in since late 70’s. I met my husband 37 yrs ago. He was never baptized. He always believed it though. He was a heavy smoker and drinker. We married in ‘92. This last year he has started studying. I blame troubles in our marriage that caused us to separate. His drinking was huge factor along with his controlling behaviors. It also didn’t help that we were helping his sister and brother-in-law out by having them live with us from March 2020 to December 2021. I will never forgive myself for that. I think having them here, even though they DID NOT INTRUDE on our marriage and DID NOT PUSH their beliefs on us, just made it easier to sway him. We have decided to remain married but now since he’s studying I’m dealing with something I never thought I would ever have to face. My husband quit smoking a few years ago and had since “controlled“ his drinking, but this JW thing is just not what I signed up for. I even told him I wished he would go back to smoking rather than studying JW! He couldn’t believe I said that. I know it was harsh but it was the truth. Jesus Christ is my Lord and savior so I’m not interested at all in JW. Since he won’t watch any videos against this cult can you provide me with any wisdom? Thank you for what you are doing.

I still believe in a higher power. Something that is beyond words and beyond any name or title we can give it. However, I am not a religious person. I avoid talking about my own beliefs in the videos because I know those subjects can be triggering to many in the EXJW community. Especially those that are still figuring out what they believe. I remember when I was waking up, any video talking too much about Christianity or atheism or spirituality was always tough to watch. My hope is to make this channel feel as safe and comfortable for everyone as possible. Especially the newly awakened people who are still quite sensitive.

You can still believe in Jehovah without being a member of this organization that has dared style itself his witnesses. I still believe in him. I don’t always call him Jehovah though. Yahweh is much more fitting. The gender marker works better in Hebrew with this pronunciation. Sometimes, I describe him in prayer as God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob. It helps because I speak Hebrew. Anyway, if you still believe in Jehovah, some of what they do and say can make you very angry. I get incensed anytime somebody tells me that I have left Jehovah because I left the organization. I remember how the Bible states that Jehovah does not share his glory and his power with anybody. If you make leaving your organization equal to leaving Jehovah, then, it is as though you are saying that your organization is on the same level with Almighty God. That, to me, is outright blasphemous. Even when I was in, I never understood how anyone could say that.

The obvious desperation with which you’re trying to refute this organization’s status as a cult is beginning to make me feel compassion for you. It’s not a fun thing to realize you’ve been part of a cult. It really isn’t. Trust me, I know from personal experience. But, truth is truth. If this organization is not a cult, it is, perhaps, one of the single greatest immitations of one that I have ever seen. I grew up in this religion. An uncle of mine and his wife began studying in the very early 70s. Then, my grandmother was brought in. When I was born, she taught it to me whenever she had a chance to try to counteract the rest of my family’s Catholic teachings. Eventually, she came to live with me and did all she could to bring me up in what she thought was the truth. She was a lady of tremendous faith whom I miss terribly every single day since her passing. Anyway, everything this man says in this video is absolutely factual. Absolutely true. I’ve experienced or witnessed much of this firsthand. There’s not a single thing in here that I can dispute as either false or exaggerated. Oakham‘s razor will not be denied.
