    Just once I would love to hear an elder say “You are absolutely right! I believe you” I think most elders know TTATT but love their power over people’s lives.

    Elders are more concerned who this brother has spoken to and told his findings to then over the fact the results of the ARC and jeoffry Jacksons twisted answers in court.
    Well done for having the strength to bring this up to the elders, your very brave to face them with it and to secretly record it.

      @Annie Armageddon,
      That's a common question the Elders ask.
      Have you spoken to anyone else?
      Elders are lap dogs for the corrupt "governing body"
      And they are indoctrinated fully into the WT organisation ways and of thinking.
      They ask that question, so they can move to crush any dissenting voices.
      Watchtower is a evil anti-Christ organisation.

    I was first involved with the JWs in the late 1950s. Told not to bother about. Marriage or going to university as big bad A was just around the corner, I think it was in 1958. BUT I was determined to go to obtain a good degree and well paid job. Around the same time I fell in love with a really nice brother who had the same attitudes and interests as I had. We travelled to many countries together during the long summers, taking odd jobs in various places. Four years later , i was fully qualified and set a date for our wedding. We both had good jobs, so being comfortable financially, we both a big cottage in a rural area and set about restoring it. It took 17 years to repair and restore and wow it looked brilliant. So for around twenty-four years, we struggled along with the JWs, but gradually we both "woke up" together and simply walked away from what had so many years we had called "the truth" .We had done many hours of research and were fully understanding all the lies and deceit. What a great feeling! All that happened before the internet. Fortunately when the children were old enough to understand we had simply walked away to freedom. I am so glad I didn't follow the advice I was given in 1958!!!

    The silence from these men is deafening, for the most part, while he tells them what he found. Then one man asks, "Is there anything else?" Does there need to be anything else. The 1914 prophecy is entrenched in JW doctrine, and it is undeniable that the JW hierarchy teaches it as "fact". Simple research destroys the 1914 date, and most JWs just ignore the truth. So sad.
    Then there's the child molestation issue that sickens me. The leadership shows obvious loyalty to the organization over the well-being of their own children. That is something they will pay for on Judgement Day. Jesus said something about harming these little ones, didn't He?
    That "light gets brighter" crap makes me throw up now. I'm so sick of hearing a proverb about the "path of a righteous man being applied to the changing doctrines of a man-made organization. "New light" will NEVER extinguish old light. New light doesn't change old light. AND BY THE WAY, "NEW LIGHT" and "OLD LIGHT" are NEVER MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE. Can anyone tell me where New and Old light are mentioned? Hmmm. Oh it isn't. It just says the light gets brighter. And it is the WT that devises the terms, "new light and old light". Can't JWs see thru this obfuscation?

    Thanks for the recording!..These con men must be exposed!
    Elders are really "company men" who act as human resource agents for the Watchtower organization.
    Remember, human resource agents act only in the best interests of the company.
    Elders search out any who are not loyal to the company, and those who are not actively supporting the policies and mission; as well as, individuals who are not reaching established goals within the corporation.
    All of these individuals threaten the profitability and outward reputation of of the company, and may affect others in the organization.
    When individuals inside of the organization/corporation have learned of hypocritical actions, deceitful policies, or lies regarding the actions of representatives of corporation, departments or heads of the corporation (Governing Body) and begin exposing these...
    Elders (human resource agents of the Watchtower ) are assigned to eliminate or lessen the effects of "whistle blowers" by labeling them "apostates".
    Once they identify an individual as a "whistle blower" they follow well established company rules and actively pursue any threat that may expose secretive practices, hypocrisy, or harmful or illegal actions that may impact company's profitability.
    Elders follow corporation guidelines set forth in the exclusive manual for elders, entitled: "Shepherd the Flock of God" published by the WTBTS.
    1. To become informed as to the level of knowledge and information a potential whistle blower possesses.
    2. Have a formal meeting (Judicial Committee hearing) with them to ascertain the level of dissent or waning support for the organization and threat they pose to the corporation.
    3. Formally put the whistle blower on notice their actions constitute disloyalty to the corporation and they will be "fired" from the company losing all benefits and any ties to other members of the corporation.
    4. During a congregation meeting ( regularly scheduled corporation workshop) announce the "firing" of those who have failed to follow corporate rules.

      As a born in, I can honestly say...
      The WT/Governing Body striped us of our personal self, our freedom to choose a higher education, celebrate holidays, accepting a blood transfusion, shunning friends and family.
      We became their slaves by knocking on doors disguised as a "life saving work" in order to further their agenda of accumulating their riches on earth. This is done by means of their real estate, land, hotels, apartments, houses, cars, boats, yachts, private jets and the list goes on and on!
      This organization is hurtful and ruthless!!
      As a side note, I always wanted to be a cheerleader, go to the prom, football and basketball games, couldn't do any of it!..It was a very sad time for me!
      Yes, this organization strips you of your childhood really of your individuality, your personal self, your freedom I mean everything!
      The world in general has no idea the trauma this organization puts on its members. They see the witnesses all dressed up on a Saturday morning sharing a message from the bible and using their own time to do so, but underneath it is very sinister.
      You would never see a witness just go and take a meal to someone, clean their house, or cut their grass, oh no!!...They'll only do something if they think the person might become a witness one day other than that you're on your own!
      I see true love outside the organization more so than I did inside!! 💯

    Very brave to ask these questions because despite what Jehovah's witnesses teach there is a lot of politics within the congregations and depending on who you come before to ask these questions may depend on possible discipline. Some elders love to wield their authority on others. It's always good for people to hear how they question people.

    I always point to Hanniah who was a prophet of God but was still condemed by God. we tell everybody that Jesus chose us. why would he choose us for doing what he warned against? also in Jerimiah God say you made my people trust in a lie.also if it doesn't come true I DID NOT SEND THEM. these scriptures they ignore. also the GB says they speak as if it was Jehovah speaking to us. again belittling the truth

    17:20 - makes me sick. How quick they are to ignore the ones that gave up everything, sold everything, and spent every cent they had to go preaching, with the same thought that they would not need to worry about money or debt. They didnt worry about paying things back, but with the understanding that they would put their time and effort into preaching.
    I had a CO come to our hall and he played one of the videos from the convention, the one where it has the brother reference 1975, and how people "were even selling off their homes", and it highlighted how spiritual the brother was to know that we dont know the day or the hour.....
    2 minutes later, i had the KM up that was literally quoted, but in a positive way and giving praise to those who did this.
    I am curious, if that brother was public about how he didnt think 1975 was a real thing, and we were wasting our time, how that would have gone.....

    The Watchtower misinterprets a Catholic Book, the bible, the writings themselves decided as scripture by late 4th century Catholic Bishops, *all Trinitarians.* Catholic's took the original writings, copied them, translated them, and guarded the meaning of the text. Charles Taze Russell wouldn't come along for another 1800+ years. He had no authority and was given no authority to interpret a Catholic Trinitarian book, and to have said that they error'd for over a millenia (he preached a new gospel, one that should be rejected)
    I ask Witnesses who come to the door:
    - Do you believe that God inspired the writers of the New Testament? Witnesses always answer yes.
    I then ask:
    Do you believe that he also guided those early Christians to know which books were, and were not, part of this New Testament (27 out of some 300+ early Christian writings)?
    Witnesses always answer yes.
    I ask too:
    Do you reject what the Catholic Church articulated at the Council of Nicea in 325 ad, 318 Catholic Bishops articulating the Doctrine of the Trinity?
    Witness always answer... YES.
    I answer:
    It's later Catholic Bishops who first affirmed what books belong in the New Testament, doing so in 393 ad at Hippo and 397 at Carthage. It's from that point on that those 27 books, no more, no less are used as the same canon that we use today.
    Then I ask:
    How is it that you believe that They were led by the Holy Spirit, nearly 300 years after the death of the last apostle (when the Church became corrupt), and 70 years after the Council of Nicea? If you believe that they all errored at Nicea, how would you trust them some 70 years later?
    Witnesses usually answer: *that's a good question.*
    I answer: It is a good question, one deserving of an answer.
    I always invite them back to share their answer with me after speaking to their Elders, or researching on their own. I've never, ever had one come back. If the Organization has the truth, I would think someone would have done so.
    (note: the questions above have never been explained by the Watchtower. They've neither asked the questions, nor answered them)
    In Ray Franz's book, _Crisis of Conscious_ he comments that none of the translators of the New World Translation bible had any formal education in either biblical Greek or Hebrew. So the WT trusted uneducated men to translate their bible, which of course leads to all kinds of problems. Accepting their translation is like going to the Walmart greeter and having them perform open heart surgery.

      It's amazing how many Christians have no clue how much the Pope and the Catholic church sculpted what would be the bible. And how they left out the Gospel of St Thomas who wrote about Jesus and how the kingdom of god is not in building made of wood and brick. It's inside us. That would not allow the Catholic church to have all the power it did for so many years. Or any church for that matter.

      Very true. The list of what books belong in the bible, is not found in the bible. One defers to an authority _outside_ of scripture to have decided. The WT uses the very same New Testament canon - 27 writings no more, no less as decided by the late 4th century Catholic Church, Bishops meeting in what is today Tunisia. WT thus defers not only to Trinitarians to have decided, but Catholics, who they believed to be all apostates. This is a contradiction the Governing Body has no answer for.

      Yes the minute you stop doing obesance to golden watch tower calf you become invisible. The so-called elders function more like security guards.
      They used to brag that they were not a cult because they're not off on some isolated island, but they mentally emotionally spiritually and socially isolate their victims. And they do it very effectively in broad daylight.the main part of the indoctrination happens during the initial so-called Bible study. After conditioning and gradual "acceptance" the rest is continued programming and enforcement, that's where the "flying monkeys" also known as elders come in. And they are trained to be merciless! No one knows this better than an ex watchtower publisher.

    stop calling these men the faithful and discreet slave that is a violation of the holy words. Only Jesus can say that and he wont do it until he returns as luke 12 tells us. Now the parable jesus gave about the slave was not about one person or an entity but any who have authority over the flock will they continue to be faithful and discreet or not. It is not one person or an entity but it is the way of the deceiver to claim they are special as jesus said in matthew 24 verse four and five

The elders where patient with him and allowed him to get his thoughts together and questions out and it seemed to me like they really tried to understand how and why he felt the way he does, the young gentleman also reciprocated that and gave the same respect back by not over talking the elders. I'm sorry guys I just can't find any fault with either party here. I'd have to say well done...

      They didn’t address his concerns and findings from research, at all. Instead, they asked where he found the information, what he thought of the “faithful slave,” where is he at now, and if he believes this is Jehovah’s org.
      Quite frankly, these are similar questions elders have asked in all the judicial committee meetings I’ve heard on CZcams.
      Just because both parties appear to show respect means nothing. It’s clear the elders aren’t helping him.
