basically they have been told by their outsourced PR consultants that if they dont adapt to "newer" ways.........its game over for the money gravy train
Game is over anyway, just people like my "father " will stay because he will never admit how wrong he was. He has no money, never gave money and after 2 AVC, my little sister is taking care of him. They take him from Canada 🇨🇦 to the Bahamas and he is just bitching. They have to tell him to brush his teeth 😬 🙄 He had the same tooth brush that looks New from 1981 to 2024...just saying that he was disgusting from a long-long time ago. The AVC didn't change him much. He still driving, going shopping 🛍, going to restaurants and when they have dinner with my sister's husband...he doesn't even want to give a tiny bit of cheese to 1 member of the family (where he lives) ... this is more than cheap. I am glad that my sister is taking care of him because I couldn't. He was beating me so much and renting me as a child to a pedophile. She's the last kid and my Mom put her pants on for her. He wasn't allowed to hit her. 😢 She saw us and it's not great. I know that she was victim of CSA from birth until 5 years old or younger. Anyway, jw's are and will never get rid of the 2 witness rule for CSA VICTIMS. That's enough for me to protest. I couldn't care less about consented adults going into the cult///Just : no children allowed. 😢That's it !!❣️
It is by greed only that has morivated these cads to very slight changes. If they dont change they lose money and thats it! They dont fool me with this fake loving dribble. They would fare far more by admitting once again they are NOT inspired and Everything is a conscience matter only! We have a personal relationship with God. The middle mere man craving authority has been pushed out.
17:58 Ooooooh...... 🎶 Santa Mark is coming to town. 🎶 🎅 Ho,Ho,Ho.......A merry Christmas to all, and to all, obey us, even if it doesn’t make sense from a human standpoint.🙄
They are 💯% contradicting what they said a couple of weeks ago " anyone can repent at the last minute/ during "Armageddon " ... chickens 🐔 without heads...it's a French saying. I hope that you understand the meaning of it.
I feel you, but please let us know if they do try to contact you. That would be a shocker, today, an elder contacted me and came to the house but unfortunately it did not end well. I expressed a few of my grievances and he couldn’t wait to get the hell out.
I D/A myself at 17 years old. I was abused from birth until 13 years old CSA .. I was beaten almost to death several times a week by my father. They would've been worse than the elders... they wanted to kick me out at 17. I didn't sin. I realized that it was a cult 😳... and I wrote it down for the elders. They tried to make me write that I didn't believe in the Bible/// I told them: not a problem, I will write that I don't believe in your translation of the Bible. They took away from me the 📃 paper... they said that it wasn't important.
I would be classed as a APOSTATE because I left so no visit. Still have my faith . He said big door open but wild horses would not get me through the door. So sad for those in .
Chad and Tiffany, so good seeing you both. Thank you both for sharing. You guys are so real and I appreciate that, even if you don’t agree on some views you expand one another’s thinking ! It’s healthy to hear another point of view and learn to be open to another way to look at things. We used to be tightly confined to one point of view and that literally harmed us. And I hear you Tiffany about not going to a building, I hear your conviction and understand what you have such clarity. I wasn’t a born in, I had gone to a couple of churches was even baptized in another religion. But I left church due to the religious hypocrisy and when I met the witnesses I thought I had found what seemed to be the real REAL thing. After being a full-on 150% witness for over 2 decades and learning that it was the same hypocrisy BS, yes a very very well disguised business scheme, which is also BS I was done. It was so scary to think about how thoroughly I had been deceived. So, I collected my emotions together so as not to have a nervous breakdown and thought hmmm there must be a lesson that I’m missing here. After 3 years of self therapy I’ve come out on the other side much stronger mentally. I will never find myself in that same place of naivety and vulnerability. That will not happen again because I will never find myself in a physical building “worshipping”. It’s all a facade a #1 red flag. Worship is never about a building with human representation presenting doctrine. After leaving and developing my god-given thinking capacity I realized that cults also take many other forms besides religion. It realize I have what I need within myself to protect me - I trust my intuition, which is very strong, and I don’t ignore the warning signs. I was searching for God in church and it’s always been right here in myself, in my our household. It’s enough for me and my honey to have scriptural discussions and expand one another’s views.
And thank you for sharing, many similar thoughts here. But dont feel bad about being deceived, to fool someone with by twisting truth into a lie is easy, to be honest and forthright is difficult, so its on them. We unabashedly accept many of the truths that they also believe, shame on them for using those to twist to their own selfish advantage. But you are correct, once on the other side of he struggle, for many seeing through the veil becomes a super power of sorts.
Crazy isn't the cult nowadays. And the times be a changing, as the song says. His beard and tie are atrocious and I think you'll both agree! And even though I am not officially been kicked out, I don't think I will be seeing any elders either. I'm happy to be on the outside of the org and I will not be returning to that "home"; I am home!! Oh and nice to see you two are doing great and keeping busy.
What I thought was quite interesting is if you noticed, he stated that the governing body has decided that they will allow you to exercise your Bible trained Christian conscience without interference from them, do you see the issue there? He just shot himself and the rest of the governing body in the head with that statement. I believe apostate is only mentioned once, or maybe twice in the Christian Scriptures however, the meaning of apostate in the original Greek, as used in scriptures means rebellion against or from Jehovah, and not a disagreement with the governing body concerning certain rules, spirit, and teachings that are not in harmony with the word and spirit of Jehovah and Jesus’s teachings. Sanderson admits possibly without realizing it that they think they have the right to control your conscience and relationship With Jehovah and Jesus as a Christian.
A big hi so lovely to see and hear you . Always watched your videos. From Australia left 2020 at 80 years old. Was born in . So happy to be free. Sending love and blessings to you both 🙏🙏🙏🌻🌹♥️🥰♥️♥️
That was an excellent review at the end. They keep changing scriptural interpretations. Santa Clause said in that lecture that they had a 'new understanding' on three scriptures in relation to df'd JWs. It's ridiculous how it happens after over 120 years. It's all deliberate and suited to their own needs.
I feel a little sorry about the amount of comments I made but, it makes me feel better 😌 ☺️ 😊. About the question: they will never call me . I know too much. I talked on the national news about CSA and I am doomed for them. I am not religious, I am agnostic for a long time now and I am okay with that. I am doing good things for the community I live in. A small town and I love ❤️ when I can help... I am disabled for life (2 brain 🧠 aneurysm ruptures) fibromyalgia, etc... I am good to people and people are good to me. The only thing I can wish for is that my daughter accepts the huge opportunity to have a great job here. They didn't meet her ,but they know my integrity and my daughter is better than me. 😊
Comment away, its good to get it out. One of the two points of godly action is summed up well in Jesus words, "love your neighbor as yourself." So maybe you arent as agnostic as you imagine :-)
So Jehovah is willing to implore the wicked to turn back from their ways yet the average JWs aren’t to speak to an apostate to implore them to return to JWs. So by this narrative the GB are making themselves better than God. By going against them you’ve committed the unforgivable sin. Oh brother. Talk about pushing ahead.
you can probably see how many people left if you compare baptisms with the total amount of witnesses ... so like for example if there were 200k baptisms but the total number only went up by 100k, then 100k left or passed away (example numbers)
the GB need to look at themselves and all the atrocities they have done over decades..... and we will help and lead them... to repentance....... if at all possible
Ideally parents ought to be involved. But sometimes children/young people with "behavioral" problems might be getting Even worse treatment at home from parents. Too many accounts with smiling parents, even giving talks at the KH, that are abusive toward children at home. If before the elders, abuse can be worse.
Sounds like rules for thee, not for me. The absolute hypocrisy can not be more present by the Watchtower in this short clip. Watchtower refuses to follow laws a state has. Is there a Bible principle being violated? Yes. Romans 13:2. "Therefore, whoever opposes the authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God; those who have taken a stand against it will bring judgment against themselves." Sounds to me like a disfellowshipable offense. Watchtower does not want to obey a law. Therefore, they are opposing authority by the government.
30:33 When’s my phone all? Yeah, Chad’s waiting for his phone call. You elders condemned Chad as guilty, and we all know that a guilty man gets his one phone call. ☎️
All denomination churches ⛪️ have a mission statement and a curriculum. That is why a believer must be so careful to avoid deception. Babylon is massive.(Rev.17:5)
There's no one inside a KH that isn't disposable. You're no different than the toilet paper in the bathroom. Your absence wont be missed, because your presence never mattered.
Did you know the JW Actors Studio college/acting school working with Abrams Artist Agency in NY? I guess this is why JW have been building video studios in NY and Australia. I guess this is for the JW members and making future movie of Jesus life.
Quick! Sell yhe skirts, ties, and jackets. We need the money. Quickly too, sell your mustang and come back. We need membership...and your money too.😅😅😅
Im so so sorry they hurt you the way they did and didn't show Christian Love. I've been so hurt too. Jehovah is so good, even Jehovah acknowledge our hurt and views the unjust, harsh treatment as if He did it. (Micah 4:6) So many act like High priest Eli. So harsh, so sad. Its so painful, I'm sorry you guys. Im so happy you still love Jehovah and Jesus. Oh, and your not apostates, your crushed and broken by harsh religious leaders, the Eli's of the world. Im still in, mentally, I've been so hurt and cant go physically because I have anxiety. Im so sorry they hurt you the way they did. So many jerks. And the lack of apologies to me boils down to a lack of godly fear. And that's a them problem. Your a beautiful couple, keep the faith. Well all be in the new world, I'll help you build your home there. Agape ❤
A lawyer that was at csa every day..His daughter had 2 children to her divorced husband.Blamed he and demons and nothing was done.A jw property lawyer. Cute kids but you could feel the demons with her...I would feel sicķ near her .Another young girl d/f cause she enjoyed the sex. All from elders I know. Dont walk out....RUN!!❤
I met w the elders before I left. The outcome was disappointing. Long story. That was 5 plus years ago. Technically I’m faded. No one has contacted me & that’s fine with me. I’m curious whether they’ll reach out and I don’t expect it. It won’t change how I feel. I’ve abandoned organized religion but not my faith. It was good to see you again.😊
1:16:21 I was thinking that even if people were so loving, kind and helpful to one another, their teachings are spiritual poison. Then again, if they taught real truth, the result would be: see previous sentence.
It's good to be open, but when you understand the pathology of a cult, it is impossible for them to be different without genuinely being sorry, making amends, paying compensation and truly turning around. Do you think all of WT will do that ? God does not back an organization. The very reason Jesus came to earth. To demolish his organization of old. Remember that. In Jesus name, there is no organization by God.. ever.. can not be on this earth. The whole purpose of Jesus abolishing the old and teaching the new. We live by faith. The right way to congregate is in homes by being hosts and guests.
I'm with the Mrs here. Just wrote this and then you said it yourself. I can not go in to be a member of a religious group or building also, not ever, never! God and Jesus didn't even back this 2,000 years ago, how much less today.
Preachin to the choir, though we certainly would add that early Christian's didn't only meet in homes, but corporate religions of today are especially susceptible to corruption, but suppose the argument could be made it was corrupted back then also. As to "cult", perhaps watch our newest video.
@@unassignedvlog5556 And Jesus never "joined" the religious organization, or any of his day. He condemned it rather. God doesn't have on office, nor a building, nor an organization, nor board meetings, not even pioneers or missionaries , He doesn't even have real estate or shares and bonds
Wayward, wrongdoer and the serious ones, jezebel, apostate, and promoter, spiritual weak, escapist from Satan snares (worldly), imperfect, sinners, wicked, hopeless individuals, ET come home, disfellowship person, such a person, or they will revoke your baptism. contaminated.sister can step in wear pants to help with the mic. The list goes on. But we luv u all.
I'm SOOOOOOO tired hearing "THE GOVERNING BODY HAS DECIDED" ..... what scripture are you referring to. There is NO scripture stating "when the GB has decided". A load of crap...
