ABOUT ME: I’m a former Jehovah’s Witness who faded away from the religion around 2 years ago. I believe that current members of the organization deserve to be aware of the abuses committed by Watchtower. I am a big proponent of religious freedom and critical thinking, and invite my audience to be kind, open minded, and always stay curious.

Caleb's dad took 8000 years to learn how to sing a Major chord 💀
8000 years and still in a cult. Smh
@@andymuggloy7011 I mean, if they are in paradise, not much they can do about it at that point :/
right? that was my cringe moment
You cannot sing a chord.
8000 years being a child and stuck with crazy parents.
JW heven is my imagination of HELL.
Being a Christian myself. The whole concept of being a jehova witness completely ignores all of the bibles teachings
You're just choosing one weird story over another. Cults are cults.
Don’t cults stem from already preexisting religion? Religion existed many years before false prophets and cults became a thing. No hate just saying
This is true
All the denominations do the same cherry picking from the Bible, barely any of them actually follow the Bible and most people in any of them have no idea what's actually in that fucking book. They're all cults.
@@cathare4909 No! Christianity. is 1800 years older than the Jehova Witness cult. The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus is one of the most historically documented events in human history. In fact we have more references to Jesus in historical texts than we do of the Roman Emperor of his time. It all happened, and people experience salvation through Jesus to this day.
Ok so according to JWs, animals weren't originally supposed to be violent towards each other. Then my question is, why did God give certain animals teeth that are really good at chewing meat? Why did God give animals survival and defense instincts?
In my religion this supposed to show us what god is capable of
Tho i doubt that what jehova made these animals for
now that is something a normal thinking person would observe. also i love how when they say "all the animals were made for us" and then you would ask about mosquitos, ticks, and other pests, and they would just wave it off as "those were because of our sin"
oh so i guess all the animals were made for us except for the ones that we dont like (for good reason)
@@Shattered3582 Mosquitos & ticks literally survive off of humans (not exclusively, but they DO live off of humans) so in a way they are also « made for us » .

"I want to have a butterfly garden!"
Have you BEEN TO ONE SOPHIA!? Those butterflies in particular are cocky bastards who DIVEBOMB THE SHIT OUT OF YOU because they know you cant do jack shiz about it. Those things are the reason why bikini bottom is terrified of butterflies
no wonder sandy has a butterfly in her dorm no joke
@viviennemorgan7217 YEAH, no SHIT, Sherlock. Sandy Cheeks finds that Hot, and gets off to it, that’s HOW kinky she is. Something no one else knows about her, except the man from Nickelodeon who made actual art of that, while drawing Sandy Cheeks more explicit and sexy, knew he was gonna get tired for making that animatic, so he resingned from his job, saying his boss treated him like shit and either dissapeared into a private community, OR just hung himself in his Apartment, the latter of which is much closer to what actually happened.
That entire story is a creepypasta, called The Nickelodeon Resignation Incident. Go and watch the Retakes/Remakes on CZcams, they’re Even better than the original.
AND yes, i was a friend of that man, and had SEEN his creation, so did my other friends who documented the whole thing as a real life Creepypasta, meaning it’s an accurate description of the actual events that had happened there, wrapped up into a nice, cool little cautionary tale.

"I'm not a furry"
Sounds something like what a furry would say
You can break it down line by line.
9:52
*"And that's why I chose a red panda for my mascot in this channel-"*
A mascot can simply be a mascot when its representing a sports team or a CZcams channel, but when you're puppeteering this anthropomorphic animal mascot to convey YOUR personal emotions and expressions as you speak, it seems an awful lot like a fursona or furry avatar.
*"NO. It's not because I'm a furry. I'm not a furry, I promise."*
Denial. And redundant assertions for emphasis.
*"It's because I'm making for this idea... of... having your own pet panda... in paradise."*
Deflection. And nervous pauses.
*"And I thought a red panda would be very fitting because it's... ya know it's... eh, I like them."*
Red panda are not biologically similar to pandas. It begins to become apparent that he chose a red panda because HE likes them, nothing to do with JW.
*"I like red pandas, they're really cute"* 🤷♂
The bashful shrug says it all. You think they're a cute and endearing creature, and you are embodying their cuteness by shaping your avatar in their likeness. Furry.
If that's the case, then I say "I'm not a genius".😏
@@myowncomputerstuff with this evidence, we can confidently conclude that Panda Tower is in fact, quite likely, very much, a FURRY
What kind of a world do we live if you're treated like garbage for liking or relating to funny animals? The great thing about about funny animals is that although they act human they technically are not, and humans suck.
@@myowncomputerstuffbros on to something‼️
I was friends with a JW. She didn’t see anything wrong with it, our friends did. She wasn’t allowed to come over to someone’s house if they weren’t a JW. She wasn’t allowed to go to university. Wasn’t allowed any holidays (they did something called family day where they gave each other presents) Wasn’t allowed to wear certain clothes. I live in New Zealand and at school we learn Māori (the native people before the English came) she wasn’t allowed to speak it or do the traditional dances. She wasn’t allowed to date someone who wasn’t a JW. It was hell
Jesus take the wheel I’ve never been more thankful for the family I have than now
As a Jewish dude… what the fuck? That’s demented.
Damn that sounds like hell, especially since a ton of school events are centered around celebrating Māori culture. Did she even get to attend the events? I can't imagine not even being able to attend a powhiri or anything because of a religion.
My friend is a JW too. But she doesn’t live like one. She may end up leaving the congregation. She doesn’t celebrate any holidays and only celebrates her birthday bc she hasn’t been baptized. She also dates someone who’s not a JW and slept with him. She wears things that JW’s wouldn’t. Her beliefs align closer to black southern Baptist rather than JW. But she still believes in all their ideals/doctrines. But more on the reason I think she’s going to leave soon is the fact she doesn’t go to church for JW, doesn’t pray the way they do, and likes southern baptists more.
@@RobinAyre yea, she wasn’t allowed to do a Karakia, which you do every morning at school. And when we had a Māori teacher come in she had to wear headphones and go under the teachers desk so she couldn’t see what was happening
Most annoying thing I remember arguing with my JW parents about during my teen years coming out of 'the truth' was, they didn't believe pollution mattered at all because Jehovah'll magically fucking clean it all for them when the paradise comes, just vanish it all away, no consequences for how we treat the environment.
Nihilism?
Is that what it called?
Whaever that's rlly sad man I'm sorry you had to go through that
Get yuh life together I believe in yuh 🤡👍🏾
Nihilism is sort of like pessimism. I’d say it’s not caring in general.
Ok, I cringed right away at the father singing opera.
I usually never cringe at these videos, but when that opera scene showed up I instantly cringed and started dying of laughter.
Yeah, me too, when the dad said he had 8000 years to practice, and then the Red Panda points out that the kids are STILL kids after 8000 years, wtf.
Same omg
Me as well
@@alyakim101me too, this was too much lol
Also wanted to point out that in the cult I grew up in, we weren’t allowed to be sad at funerals. We were expected to be happy because the church member was supposedly in heaven. Being sad at a funeral was a sign of spiritual weakness. My cousins said that at my grandmother’s funeral, which I couldn’t attend, that the pastor kept talking about what a wretched sinner my grandma was, and it was only by the grace of god that she was saved. Talk about behavioral and emotional control and brainwashing. Anyway, I understand what ex-JW’s are going through in that respect.
I'm sorry, that sounds like pure emotional trauma. I can't imagine how repressed that would make you. It sounds a lot like toxic positivity.
This sounds downright cruel.
The worst part is, that literally contradicts the Bible. Even though it could be LIKELy that one goes to heaven, we can't be sure how GOD will judge. But my DAYS is that cruel.
I can see why that would want people to be happy at a funeral but punining you for being sad is dumb
What??? They expect you to be happy when they’re talking shit about your dead loved one like that??? I can’t even 😭💀
I cringed at 17:08 when it showed 9/11 to emotionally exploit people wtf
Edit: then the exploitation of disabled people like they aren’t good enough and need to be healed
Exactly, as a disabled person myself, I always hated hearing things like: "You will get your eye sight back in paradise and finally be able to see the world." Gets on my nerves every time, but even that is an understatement.
Same with 9/11 the watch tower used it to capture more people to try getting more generation to become jw because there parents taught them about it which is just bad every where because watch tower basically just makes sales man about a event that won’t happen
"No, my friend, you're tripping on acid." Best one liner ever.
When I was a kid, I was terrified of the idea of the Paradise, to the point that I would be scared that I would go to bed one day and wake up to Paradise the next. I knew that living forever was unnatural and the thought of it filled me with dread. My parents couldn't understand why it scared me so much. As an adult, the Paradise sounds absolutely boring. Eating a vegan diet, the only people around are JWs, and the only leisure activity seems to be worshipping Jehovah. Please, no, thank you.
Not JW but Baptist. My parents were the same when it came to the rapture
It’s not forever
@@briannac2231Ha! Haha! 😂
Catholic school afraid of purgatory and hell. JWs afraid of instant destruction. Paradise depressed me when I saw illustrations of all the grinning men with lumber on their shoulders on their ways to build KHs because I wondered where did they get the lumber, the tools, the tree wood, etc if everything was destroyed? I got depressed by all the women with grins and dresses wearing baskets on their heads filled with fruit and vegs, wondering where did they get the fruit if the trees were destroyed first, it takes years and years to grow a tree and how did they get seeds for vegs if everything went “phooom!” In Armageddon, why are they smiling and watching their babies running after lions, don’t the lions still have teeth or powerful jaws and claws? I got very depressed. I hated it. I wanted to be “anointed” and go to Heaven, but I didn’t want to be like the Governing Body who would be there. The whole thing just stunk of lack of common sense.
As a kid who grew up christian, i hated the rapture because it meant that several people i liked such as an atheist youtuber i followed would burn in hell, which didn't seem right to me since their only 'problems' were not believing in god
There is a Brazilian expression that says "for someone who is drowning, an alligator is a log". It's all I could think of while watching this video 😢

Perfect analogy for how cults target people who are in a dark place or vulnerable.
It’s interesting that they say you can interact with wild animals safely because they also say that your actual pets that you love and miss won’t be going there
Hmmmm…
Oh yeah the whole "soulless and emotionless" schtick. I always thought that was complete bullshit, like as if humans aren't animals. Exactly why would God giving animals souls go against the Bible? Hm? Whom _paid_ for the mercy? Hm?
@@Idiotic_B_Purcell All creatures have a soul, a soul that makes living organisms out of a conglomeration of cells, but only man, as the crowning glory of all creation, has an immortal soul, and only man can distinguish between good and evil, which is why only men go to heaven, and animals, plants, etc., cannot go there. That's Catholic teaching btw
@@pizmak6268 which is a platonic idea that didn't come from Christianity originally
@@NainoLoL only partially. Besides, even pagans born before Christ, as the Church Fathers teach, could be called Christians when they sought Truth and virtues that brought them closer to a God they had no opportunity to know.
“A flute” as a band kid that plays the flute I have never been mad at you but right now I feel like punching a hole in the wall. THATS A RECORDER 😭
omg same i got so mad i swear
@algierfsfi I had a treble recorder and learned the second Brandenberg Concerto off by heart. Bach actually wrote all his concertos for recorder. Nowadays they use flautists because there aren't any professional recorder players. It's out of favour. This was, admittedly, 35 years ago. I still have the recorder.

I guess it makes sense for Caleb and Sofia to remain kids in paradise if they're pushing the narrative that Armageddon is tomorrow.
I just wonder if they basically live like Peter Pan in Neverland, never growing up...
@@Tabascofanatikerin what I wondered too.
That ate
Tomorrow never comes.
That is so obvious but I didn’t even think of that because we’re taught to gloss over everything that doesn’t make sense.
Well, maybe if we encourage young people to go to college and study things like biology and medicine, we can cure paralyzed girls sooner than waiting for Jesus to return.
You mean encourage her to not give up and heal
Some conditions have no cure by our current technology, so give up or not is not a matter.
Very true.
The lack of any basketball courts in these versions of "paradise" is such a red flag.
What about fried chicken 🐔
@@akosorosz7453where will they get the chickens from after everything is destroyed in Armageddon, in FACT, where are all these animals and butterflies coming from if nothing survives but JWs and crows to eat the dead?
Or the option to go to the Nether.
11:36 I don’t know why, but seeing Sofia cry actually makes me sad. Her life and Caleb’s life are kind of terrible, they deserve way better.
same!! i usually feel bad for them instead of cringing :( they deserve better, such cute children!
And what makes me squirm in my seat is that all this is happening to them while they're still kids!!
I like to imagine that after becoming adults, both Caleb and Sofia become ExJW just like Panda and start their own CZcams channels exposing the truth
As a mormon, I was taught that people who never heard the gospel before they died would have the opportunity to be taught. And we were baptized as proxies for them. So it’s a bit different, but this video did resonate with me as a result. Cults gonna cult.
South Park has taught me that only mormons go to (a generic) heaven to a buddhist God 😆
@@Tabascofanatikerinyeah but theres not such a thing as hell theres instead the "telestial glory" which is for those who were unbelievers but were still respectful of the earth's laws which is described as like the earth but without the presence of God, that's basically the equivalent of hell, not being with the presence or God
@@koolerstuffhell does exist in the LDS doctrine.. the telestial kingdom is not hell because even though your separated from God, he can still be present there. In hell, (which us Mormons call “outer darkness”) is where God is not present at because it is for those who actually caused harm to our world. The telestial, terrestrial, and celestial kingdoms can still meet Jesus and the father but some just more than others.
@@manakotaupauu hmmmm the outer darkness, you know, the only thing I actually heard from that within the church was that it was for VERY few people, but makes sense
@@koolerstuff yes and the reason that traditional Christianity believes the majority of humanity will go to hell is because they think that nonbelievers will be in hell forever, no exception. The problem is that LDS and traditional Christianity define moral standards very differently based on scripture. Personally I don’t think being a non believer is “evil” or “immoral” but it probably will not assist you in the afterlife.. besides that, anything that we ACTUALLY find immoral will be in outer darkness (like murderers, liars, brutes, you know what I mean.)
I’m sorry, but I cringed at 1:56 into the video with the dad doing whatever the hell that was. Okay. Time to finish the video.
I do that sometimes, damn haha
@@Moishe555 okay but do you post it on the internet in an attempt to convert people to a death cult? If you do, I have a lot of questions for you lol :)
Yeah the cringe challenge was lost quite soon hahaha
When I saw that buff dad in the same clothes he always wears: how does he stay in perfect shape? Did he or does he go to a gym? Is that allowed? Why the accent? What if the whole family is OLD by the time all the Destruction from Armageddon comes? They’re acting like it’s all going to be today by noon or something. I have so many questions everytime I see these things but you’re not allowed to ask questions of common sense of JWs without getting punished, so you get deeply depressed from repressing depressing thoughts!!!😂
We had a butterfly garden, and although Lepidoptera is a hobby, I didn’t have to become an entomologist you just plant host plants for butterflies that live in your general geographic location they will find the plants. We had over a dozen different butterflies and we had a very small yard to work with, but it was glorious because you walked down the street and then we passed our house. It was just swarming with butterflies.
There is one in Montreal, we have monarch which migrate from the south once a year (I think). I've been there a couple of times with my daughters. It was nice and they liked it.
So, I’m a Christian.
This has taught me that JWs don’t even understand the Bible…
So glad to be 'awake' to this and out. I was so depressed when I was in. You don't have a true hope, you can never do enough, you are a second class citizen compared to the anointed, constant bombardment of doomsday, and consistent reminders on how bad you are because you do not deserve his "undeserved kindness" (another false translation). These videos are so depressing! Cringe at full 100%!
I was never a JSW but I knew this guy in my school who was a JSW and he wasn’t really allowed friends, I couldn’t give him a holiday card and for the school blood drive he couldn’t give blood, I asked him why and he said because it was against his religion. But isn’t the point of religion to help people? What shocked me the most was that his parents let him drink wine but not give blood or be friends with people.
Can someone explain this paradox?
Maybe it has something to do with "eat the bread and drink the wine"
Other question: How old were you when the blood drive took place??
You wrote about school but I only know giving blood being allowed at age 18 and up.
@@Tabascofanatikerin i was 17 but he was old enough to
@@its3amandilostmypasswordOh, okay. Sorry, I was just wondering.
@@its3amandilostmypassword The blood issue is related to a verse in scripture in Leviticus, I believe, that tells the Israelites not to eat meat with the blood still present because in the blood is the life of the animal. So to JWs blood = life so you can't give or receive blood. It doesn't exactly make sense, but the cult isn't about making sense.
Just a heads up, not everyone in a wheelchair is paralyzed; I'm a wheelchair user and I am not paralyzed, I use a wheelchair because of a joint and muscle instability causing condition. It really irks me that they keep using old people who are disabled, or young children with disabilities, to drive their point. I personally believe that a lot of children and adults with disabilities can still live great and happy lives, and it always bothers me when people use us as a way to convince people to 'get saved' etc.
I grew up Baptist and my mother always wished the rapture would come but i didn't want it to, because i wanted to grow up and make my life successful and happy. My church in particular sees disabilities as a sign that you or your family sinned and God is punishing them until you get to heaven where you will be forgiven and healed etc. It is all so stupid and really hurtful to disabled people. Yes, being disabled is painful and hard, but you can still be happy and enjoy life, it isn't sentencing you to a life of misery necessarily lol. But yeah, my family wants the rapture to come so that the whole family (who have genetic issues) can be healed from their medical conditions. I'm glad i became non-denominational, they are a lot less judgmental and the church I'm at now doesn't believe the bible says anything about being gay, so we actually have many gay members which is wonderful!
My Baptist church believed in door knocking, so i was out with my parents in a stroller until i could walk(when i used to be able to walk), knocking on doors in a pretty unsafe city in the USA. When i turned 10, I was allowed to knock on doors alone. They also believed in baptizing kids as soon as they could remember that jesus died on a cross. That was sometimes two or three-year-olds, sadly. I was baptized around 7 years old, I was too scared of the water beforehand and i was 'old' to be baptized. They also believed in women only being allowed to wear skirts or dresses, and any music with electric guitar or drums was satanic. I had to babysit kids during service from the time i turned 10, but i actually preferred the weeks i babysat in the nursery because it meant i didn't have to sit through sermon and be judged for the way i looked. I am so thankful I am out of that environment- I got diagnosed with OCD a while afterwards because I had been so anxious about every thought i had or action i did, and i would do all these things every time i sinned to get forgiveness and spare my family from being killed (i thought they would be killed by God), including random movements i incorporated that weren't part of the religion, but that I felt i had to do because a voice inside told me to. Lol this is why it's dangerous to tell children the voice inside is God. I still struggle with my OCD to this day and it is truly a painful thing to heal from. I wish more people saw how culty Baptist Churches are, most people seem to see them as a more normal religion...
I also hate when people with disabilities get used as inspiration p *** rn because it makes it seem like our only purpose is to make others feel good about themselves for helping us etc. and this also gives me those vibes, because they get to feel good that one day, that child will be in 'paradise' and healed, when instead, they should focus on seeing them as a full human and making accessibility in the now better so that they can have a good life NOW, and maybe let their kids go to college so they can become doctors to help the disabled people. I also find it funny that they discourage college- if everyone became JW, who would become a doctor to help sick or injured people?! It's all so hilarious to me. Also, what disabled child would draw themselves as healed regularly? It seems so unhealthy, one of the best things you can do for lifelong disabilities is to accept it as part of you, and that includes portraying yourself with your disability (I've been to a lot of therapy for this specifically, can you tell haha, any drawings or paintings of myself now include my wheelchair), and it makes me sad that the girl is being told to look forward to paradise because she will be able to walk. Is walking really so grand, that it is a selling point for a child to let their future and opportunities be stripped from them?! I really don't feel like it would be convincing, at least to me. Then again, it doesn't sound like they tell the child everything they are signing up for, do they?
Fr. I never thought about the old Bible book characters coming back. Like they would get annoyed and treated like celebrities
The whole 8000 years thing 2:07? I've probably been disfellowshipped longer than you've been alive(since 1991)and that was still fucking embarrassing.

OR, it could be intended as an indicator of laughter, like a niche way of saying 'lol'.
to put it simply, they're agreeing with you! :-) i hope this makes sense!
theyre now letting women wear pants at the meetings, they let men grow their beards... for me, it looks like theyre just that desperate to gain new followers. Also, from what i heard from them, theyre approaching people in other ways, like starting a "normal" conversation...
They’ll try any approach to hooking their bait, all except sex (like that cult in the 70’s did; children of god I think they were called)
Can you tell me more?
Yeah my mom was telling me last week
The whole thing is falling apart, lol. I can’t wait for in 20ish years when JW is just a footnote in some cult history book
5:26 Okay but like, is nobody concerned that these kids DIED?!
Honestly my idea of paradise includes enjoying some of the things I currently like that are legal and safe without the stress of life. This includes things like Video Games, watching CZcams, talking to people online, making my favorite foods, things like that. As well as the chance to safely try to do things I really wanna do like go to other countries like Germany and Japan

Superbook ah that is nostalgic
Seriously... growing up believing that I would probably never die, or if i died I would be ressurected has caused some serious issues. I never thought about the future because I thought I was going to bethel and serve jehovah, and never thought about my own mortality. Now I have to plan an actual future and I fear death more than anything because the idea that I am not going to live forever terrifies me.
Just try to realize we are also spirit and read Scripture like what Paul says in 2nd Cor 12. I am not a JW or do I belong to any church (I panic now in churches since I got out of JWs) but really read Scripture and many other things on my own. I’ve found great relief and joy in what I know about now. Also worked in Hospice and have observed many beautiful experiences. My own mom had an NDE and I did once, and it’s truly beautiful. No words to describe the Spirit and Heaven. It’s ok. Truly. But I was really afraid being a Catholic and then a JW especially. I was always scared and depressed. Not any more. ❤
As far as the rest of our lives: wake up and smile, praise God briefly, do your routine, enjoy every moment, handle well the difficult moments, one day at a time, enjoy being you and sleep soundly. The most repeated phrase in Scripture is: “Fear not”! Stand still and know that He is God. Practice Joy. Practice the Presence of God. 🌹
Dont worry once you die you wont care anymore
It gets easier as you go along. I don't know how old you are, but going to college is a good way to find yourself. Take some random classes at a local community college. They're dirt cheap, and they give you lots of opportunities to meet people and learn about yourself and your interests. If you like science, STEM degrees can make you a lot of money (although you have to survive them first lol).
Dying is ok. I died on the operating table. It's like going to sleep. It's ok. That experience taught me that dying is fine. But, right now, I choose to live....
A comment about carnivorous animals turning to vegetarians in paradise (and also algorithm):
There is a sweet comic strip from "Calvin and Hobbes" that focusses on the idea of humans and animals in the afterlife:
Calvin (the 6-year old boy talking to his plushy tiger Hobbes): "Do you think tigers go to the same heaven that people go to? I mean, in heaven, everyone is supposed to be happy, right? But people wouldn't be happy if they were always in danger of being eaten by tigers! On the other hand, heaven wouldn't be very nice without tigers, either. I wouldn't be happy if there weren't any tigers. I'd miss them. Maybe tigers just don't eat people in heaven."
Hobbes: "But then WE wouldn't be happy."
You would be eaten by tigers and be happy about it, obviously. It's heaven, everything is possible, no reason to over complicate things.
Why would they have the desire to eat meat in heaven

One theme I see especially through this collection is ableism. I would highly suggest looking it up, but as a disabled person I find these promises of 'healing' so insulting. Disabled bodies are bodies and brains that work differently and are not there as your pity fodder or insperation porn. I'm not going to go to deep into it, but just point out it's a good thing to see the inhumanity in using ableism like religions do. The idea of 'you'll be 'normal' just buy our product!' Utterly insuting.
This is something that Christian fundamentalism unfortunately fuels. The way they condescend to disabled people at every chance is so gross
Exactly, I agree with all you've said. The things they say to me as a blind person make me absolutely sick to my stomach. They literaly don't see us as fully functioning humans with our own thoughts, opinions and ways of life. That's seriously beyond screwed.
I’m autistic, & when I was still a JW I was always disgusted by people getting all excited about me somehow becoming neurotypical in “paradise”. Apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to insult who I am right to my face. What if I like my autism & don’t want to be neurotypical?

Real Christianity teaches that paradise is earth but with god and no sin so you will work not mess about in a butterfly garden and sing opera you will have a new body that will allow you to be better and you can meet your friends it’s not a summer camp it is simply the joy of his and work.
Panda, I have a serious question but have you ever thought of making a separate channel that is in Spanish? It would be great as my family is mostly Spanish speaking and I feel like you give great insight and you're great at exposing this cult. I would love try to get my dad to stop believing in this cult, just no matter how many times I tell him this cult are taking advantage of innocent people and doing it all for money and exposure, he only refuses to believe me.

Just to clarify: As a catholic, we don’t approve of Jehovah’s teachings. This is not NORMAL religious behavior. Literally everyone else is really normal and nice.
Just to Clarify: we Catholics arent involved in the Jehovah's witness's so i am not sure why we need to clarify anything.
It really doesn't make sense when you think about it. So, god has the power to make a perfect world where everyone is happy; no diseases, no death, no war, no food chain, etc. but instead, he decided that we should all be miserable and live our existence like it’s some kind of test/exam which is ultimately pointless because he predestined some of us to pass and most of us to fail. What kind of psycho would do that ? If god is real, he has the maturity of a 12 y.o playing the Sims and experimenting with humans’ pain and suffering.
He was just in a silly goofy mood 😂
Writers giving their characters lots of trauma and sad back stories for character development:
The reason that wars and all the bad things that happen are the consequences of sin, the sin that happened beacuse Adam and Eve disobeyed God, so after that all the bad things that started happening where all our fault since we are descendants of them, and God simply let Adam and Eve live outside of the perfectly good garden they where supposed to live in.
And yes, this life in this fallen and corrupted world is a test of our faith in God, that besides everything we persevered until the end. And its not really predestined beacuse God gave us free will, sure God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, he knows everything that happened and will happen, it’s our choice if we start to better ourselves and try to be a good person avoiding sin as much as possible for Him and for us, or if you conform into this world and stay just the way you are, you do have a choice.
For example Judas, God and Jesus always knew Judas would betray him and end up killing him, but even though Jesus knew this, he didn’t treat Judas like a traitor and rubbing it in his face even before Judas thought of betraying him, Judas had a choice, and he made the wrong one, after betraying Jesus he killed himself, and at least in Christianity, suicide is one way ticket to hell, if you commit suicide there is no unmaking it and sadly be tormented forever in hell, beacuse it’s seen as throwing away Gods gift of life.
also I would like to compare God to an writer, when you create a world and characters you know everything about them and everything that they would do and everything that will happen to that world and people is at your decision and will.
Sure in their perspective they are making or given a choice but in the eyes of an witter all is according to their desires at want kind of story they want to tell.
@@weregarurumon3202 Yep. And it would be weird to blame the characters for the choices of the author, right ? xD
Besides the very idea of an eternal heaven where you have to worship a god forever and ever does not sound like any kind of paradise to me, all of this can be immediately dismissed because JW's have not provided any evidence for this alleged paradise, and a claim with no evidence to support it can be dismissed with no evidence.
If worshiping God forever is so great, why do they ever leave church as that's just what heaven is supposed to be like, right?
This is not really what heaven is that's a protestant modern idea of heaven but also for JWs no evidence is needed because it doesn't exist yet
wow, I didn't know that if I'm in heaven, I'd be sleeping with all my fav animals, especially black and white pandas, those are my #1 favorite animal! :) I hope this also exists in catholic heaven

The whole ransom thing is so stupid. I'm pretty sure the Jesus guy this whole thing got started with didn't think he was saving the world on the cross, and he definitely didn't think only 144k go to heaven. How does anyone get convinced of this garbage unless they were born into it?
Like Jesus aint die for you 144k people
Wait only 144k get into heaven? Doesn’t that mean it’s full already assuming millions of christians have already lived their lives?

So, JWs think that we stay dead, unless you are anointed, until Jesus comes back? That is actually what the Bible says. All these Jews and Christians think that your loved ones are looking down on you in Heaven when they die. That's not what the Bible says. It says that everyone who ever died is still dead and is waiting for Jesus to come back. I just can't believe that JW has convinced so many people of this. I mean, if Jehovah kills 99.99% of all humans that have ever lived, he is evil. Insanely evil.

if they changed a few rules, i would treat them as a religion.
1- no more mandatory door to door.
2- not taking ownership of all possetchions from the followers.
3- no more excumunication from the church after regulair contact with a non-follower.
as long as these 3 are not changed to that, i can only treat them as a cult.
Also members should be able to celebrate birthdays and holidays
And more transparency regarding economy and crimes

If I would make a Christian cartoon it would be like that:
The story would be about azazel trying to regret his mistakes and go back to heaven
So he go to hell to destroy every circle of hell like gluttony‚ wrath‚ envy‚ etc
He would have the help of jesus followers and of the 7 Archangels‚ and also some advices from the 7 virtues (that are humans in this version)
He needed to fight against the 7 deadly sins‚ his psychopath brother azrael‚ behemoth‚ leviathan‚ and all the way until he meet Satan
And the series would be based on madness combat‚ full of Gore and fights‚ and would be set in a apocalyptic world

Just to clarify. The belief that the earth will be destroyed within Christendom is a new belief that arose within evangelicalism...American Evangelicalism especially.
Officially Christians also believe in a restored earth.
The difference is we believe this starts now.
So that butterfly garden example... if we go back to the basics of Christian Belief ... the idea is ... yeah you build that garden ... because you are beginning a work of order & beauty that you can continue in the New Kingdom.
The idea the earth will be destroyed is an idea JW's stole from evanjelly's.
I am an expert in religion, and am a type of Christian. I have a Masters in it, and am working on my doctorate. I love your videos. They show the real lived experience. The reality is that I believe all will be redeemed the easy way or the hard way, but Jesus didn't die to leave anyone behind.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

This point everyone must concede: in terms of music, JWs are way ahead of most christian religions. Gospel music can't even scratch those songs. Glad that the emotional manipulation they try to pass through those beautiful music was weaker than my rational brain.
That's a matter of taste. Their music is as beige as the rest of their religion.
