Your Thoughts Are Not Your Own: Jehovah & His Guys Are Inside Your Head 

The public talk on Sunday RU-vid English, the speaker actually said that a 2 year old could decide to dedicate their lives to Jehovah! I thought did zi hear that correctly? Then he said said it again. My wife confirmed it that I was not just hearing things! He said at age 2,4,8, they should not waite any longer than that! I told my wife baby baptism coming up!

Surviving, your thinking isnt as strange as you think! Its great to hear someone so articulately voicing the very thoughts that so many of us had, until we could no longer CONSCIENTIOUSLY follow those creepers & scoundrels. Im reminded of sitting there at conventions, looking around at everyone else, & thinking "did you HEAR what he just said? Dont you get it?" I pointed it out to my family & they just shut down! Dead eyes, dead brains & completely unable to make a decision on something as simple as where to go for dinner. They relied on ME to get them there! And the Blood issue. They dont understand the blood components, so they just decide to refuse ALL of it, to be on the safe side! Its EASIER! Sacrificed their lives to "strangers" = human sacrifing cult. They dont notice that the men from god are quoting Hitler?! Wow! Love every minute of it! Thanks!

Thought control, one of the features of the BITE model. And the Witnesses still claim they are not a cult :D

Loved this! I can remember feeling overwhelmed, never being able to arrive at my own decisions, just completely paralysed always having to go to an Elder. Sickening!

Funny you mentioned the stockings. I hated having to wear those. I lived in the deep South for most of my indoctrinated years. It was hot as hell, those things were torture, at times, brought me to tears. They don't have to wear them now...hmmm.🤔

The cognitive dissonance kicked in for me between work and the org because I had to think for my self at work but not really practicing thinking and planning in my life. I just went with what happened to me in my personal life and some negative things happened because of that.

The strange thing is that when you tell a JW at least some of them that there thoughts are not there own they will deny it. I had a big argument with my sister about this and even pointed her too her own propganda but she stll denied it.

Stacy, you make me love Mondays!

Liked the point that one viewer stated about being a good parrot and Polly wants a cracker. I’d see many sisters do exactly this, word for word repeat word for word what was just read and thought that this was wonderful. Always made me angry as why they couldn’t put this in their own words

Hey Stacy, I cut my pancakes in perfect little squares before I eat them. I put cream and sugar in my coffee cup first, then pour the coffee. Everyone has dining quirks.

Great job per usual....I also wondered if Jehovah and Jesus were tuned in to my thoughts as a kid..I sure hope not😂😂😂

Absolutely yes I was creeped out too by I felt Jehovah Jesus angels, Satan, and demons 'invasion' into my mind , invasion into my bathroom, and invasion under the covers in my bed! 🤯

I thought the jehovah could only connect to our thoughts when we were praying and the satan & cronies would hear me if i prayed out loud so i was a silent pray-er. The special holy book was the perfect how-to guild to mental illness, the way I see it, now. 😅😊😮😢

Damn Stacey! That was another banger right there! While you were commenting about the indoctrination sessions, aka weekly meetings, I laughed because I recalled how there were times when I would be so upset if I wasn’t called on to be a good parrot and show just how much Polly wanted a cracker. Damn, the control they’ve gained over people’s minds in a subtle manner although backed with extremely grave consequences is horrifying once you are able to see it. Awesome episode!

Thanks Stacey! As usual, that was a thought provoking podcast.🤔

Interesting brain stuff !

Stacey get out of my head 😂 Bravo man! I've been waiting for someone to do this one. Best video I've listened to in a long time. Thanks 😊

Omg I just pointed this out to a former JW regarding the watchtower study! They feed you the material and then the question and then they provide the answer for you to highlight and then raise your hand for a microphone, oh dear god, and repeat what they said was the answer. It’s pure stupidity and brainwashing! Her lightbulb went off and was like I never thought of that?!

This is one of your best . 🎉

YT recently deleted my 'free will' video, but in a word: Agreed! 🙂👍

This was EXCRUCIATING to listen to 😢.

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." Marcus Aurelius

Wow..

Hi I am not a JW but I have been around them for over 40 years. They talked me into taking a Bible Study but it turned out to being a watchtower study. Now any time I present a Bible scripture they want me to go away. For some reason they are afraid of disguising the Bible with me. They say they belong to the truth but they are unable to defend their beliefs. I know what you mean any time they have to make a discussion they have to go to the Elders.

"Parroting your comment" jogged my memory from congregations in Washington State to Florida.. brothers and sisters who went beyond the expected answer, we're cut off when they started giving their analogy with their comment. The conductor would interrupt because it wasn't what was in print lol

My husband once bought every woman in the family pepper spray for safety when they do field service. My mother in law said she will first ask the elders if it is okay. And the funny thing was my husband was an elder! There was also an elderly sister in our congregation who constantly call my husband to ask if she can use certain medications. She will list all the ingredients, then he must make sure there is no blood in the medication. Lol.

I was under the understanding that at least our thoughts were our own 😬😨. By the time I broke away, I didn't care anymore. "YOU MADE ME THIS WAY, SKY DADDY! ENJOY THE SHOW!!" 🖕

You would hate me, Stacy, I'm an OCD person's nightmare! At least that's what my old roomie tells me 😂 Too easy to annoy her by not folding towels the right way, putting the TP the wrong way, etc. When she visits (after saying "How can you live with yourself!" and me laughing at her) I know my linen closet and kitchen pantry will get organized. I'm not stupid 🤣

😊

Hhahaah😂. Ah love this video. From 28:00 was funny. I’ve done all the above and it gave me more anxiety. Those suggestions were against human nature.

Crushing it! :)

So, I was listening to a podcadt about religion in general & the guys heard how Adam & Eve were cast out of the garden before they could eat of the other tree of Eternal Life. Did they not have that covered yet? Were they going to die already? 🤔

If you eat a Big Mac … your a$$ better eat the outer area first & save the inner area for the last bite. If you don’t, you’re evil. Just like the cinnamon roll man. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

On top of all the things JWs are not allowed to join in with, I feel I’m being fair in saying that any sports ,hobbies and interests outside of the organisation are discouraged , a person could be earmarked as being spiritually weak or pursuing the pleasures of this system of things, ( their phraseology not mine )they want people out preaching not engaging in ‘selfish pursuits ‘ so I think it’s sad that those who have natural talents and interests can’t really explore their full potential. I think the elders would be ‘having words’ with such an individual.

F*ck nylons!!!! More to come … lmfao

👏👏👏👏👏

🧠

Adam Knew exactly what he was doing . and had good reason to eat , Was he weeping when he ate ?

It's cool that you are aware that you are a infj. I'm a estp. My wife is a infj.

Thank you! Challenging growing up having those things imprinted on a developing neural system! Constantly, CONSISTENTLY energy intensive! Not impossible. Worth it- FREEDOM! 💯SANITY💯😊

As always, enjoyed your perspective immensely. About the GB knowing exactly what they're doing, I reflect on how many times it's pounded into the JW's head about "forgiveness, forgiving, leaving matters in Jehovah's hands, do not disrupt the peace in the congregation", etc., etc., at every single meeting. So when a JW or their children suffer at the hands of another JW, the chances of the innocent party going to the Authorities is extremely minimal. And to think it shall continue on is sooo sad to see now that I've awakened...😢 Thanks, Stacey. Really appreciate You. ❤👍

You can do ANYTHING you like because you have been blessed with Jehovah-given free will, so long as you do EVERYTHING the JW org ask you to do, and do NONE of the things they forbid you to do. I remember saying something to my conductor (I was a bible student) that was expressed innocently and was not meant to offend, but was probably received as an insult: "I feel closer to God in a natural setting - like a forest - than I do in a Kingdom Hall". I said it wholeheartedly too, because I absolutely meant it. I said it openly and innocently, believing it would be well received. He replied with "you're actually rebelling against Jehovah when you say things like this, you are defying him". I didn't mean to insult him, I meant to simply say that nature itself (God's creation) helped me feel closer to God. It made sense in my head. However, I understood so much in that quick exchange. It was all about obeying the organization. How dare I feel closer to God outside the organization. In that moment, I felt that my relationship with Jehovah didn't matter to my conductor if it was outside the organization (they palm this off with "you simply can't have a relationship with Jehovah outside the organization"). You are not allowed an opinion that isn't lockstep with the organization. You are not allowed true free will. Because the organization is so rigid and inflexible, to say I feel closer to God in a natural setting than a Kingdom Hall is - in hindsight - a huge insult to a PIMI JW. I didn't insult Jehovah, though. I insulted their organization. It was a wake-up moment. I actually thought he'd understand my comment, and we'd talk about the beauty in God's creations etc. Nope. How dare I put God's own creation - nature itself - ahead of a meeting in a brightly-lit, plain interior with rigid protocols and zero breathing space for true expression. And here's the kicker for me: imagine if you have this brimming-over love for Jehovah, and you want to express it in a place of worship, a place where surely you could express that wonderful love. YOU CAN'T DO IT IN A KINGDOM HALL. You have to be restrained. We have to talk a certain way, don't we? You can't even properly express your love in your own unique way. It has to be through this bland filter of dubspeak. So much for free will.

Thank you I look forward to your thoughts every Monday when my jw husband is a work. I'm in my 70's not born in. it took me 48 years to realize what I was was involved in. Your thoughts help me to remember my own experiences and since I'm very quiet, I've decided to write a small book. I wonder how different my life would be if I had voiced my opinions when I experienced the craziness of the the pre 1975 era. I was the one who video taped the kingdom hall builds when the locals had control of the property in the 80's. Remember those huge shoulder mounted VHS cameras? WOW I'm going to write. Thanks so much.

Another "great talk, brother Stacey! .

So true!! Yes, I agree with everything! Another great video , THANK YOU for making it!

I've still got a question, please...Why did their cult leader, jehovah, neglect to provide the original main characters with full-length disclosure before he gave them their alleged "free-will"? They did not even know what death was if we're to go by the special manual we have now...if death was the vile punishment, the part where the snake-guy was befriending eve would have been a good time for their cult leader, to jump in. It was still pretty close to the beginning of the play, I think.

I’ve had to restart this so many times today, it’s ridiculous. Maybe S a t a n doesn’t want it watched 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. More like my grandson wanting to play with his new nerf gun. 😂😂. Damn Amazon! 😂😂

I thought everyone ate their cinnamon roll starting from the center....

Sure hope Jehovah wasn’t in my thoughts as a kid growing up with my own TV in my room and those HBO, SHOWTIME, CINEMAX free weekends rolled around……ahh the memories of what I thought was hardcore porn at the time😂😂

Wow, what a perverted song 125!! Here are pulled out words … in order of lyrical content. “Steadfast, firm, reliant, always be compliant, Along life’s path there may appear distressing circumstances, my heart entrances, My faith will yet be tested. Around me swarms the Devil’s crowd, like bees that were molested, But I can ever beat them off, deep affection, Jehovah God has now enlarged, In them he takes great pleasure, May I, with them, e’er zealous be In overflowing measure.” If that isn’t p e d o disgusting lyrics, I don’t know what is!

Oh my gosh! You have my brain!!!

Great video! Very clean and to the point. What surprises me most is the lack of JW apologists in the comment section. Ol Ron Hansen and Vusi are duking it out on another channel too funny.

"Does He watch me 💩?" LOL that's so true! Used to think about that, but now I embrace it. I pray my best prayers in the bathroom - no kids or animals to bug me ☺️

LOL - You said most elders don't study! 😂 Is that really true?
