An Old Interview I Found With Former Jehovah's Witnesses

I doubt any of you have seen this. I found it yesterday it's with Peter Gregerson (the man who Ray Franz ate with and therefore got disfellowshipped because of) and James Penton. This was from a Television Show from back in the 1980's.

As I always do, I fixed the video. I made it Wide Screen and High Definition. I fixed the Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Sharpness, Sound, etc.... The original Video also had two other Interviews after this interview so I cut those out and I cut out any commercials that there were. If you want to see the original I will post the link below😊👍

Great find again Kristy. Great effort, and very much appreciated by us 💞 PS: 29:39 That’s an excellent quick summation. It is an “arrogant religion”.

Haha that Caller was almost right on the money. They made the overlapping generation back in 2014. Cause just like he said by 2021 the 1914 was practically gone.

[@dimbulb23]

I was born while WW2 was still going on. I grew up in small Southern U.S. town. Church on every corner... My parents were believers but not churchgoers. I was not indoctrinatated, but it was expected that I catch Christianity like got measle, chicken pox and all the rest. But i decided I think about it and it was okay for me to doubt. I think I was about 12, when I made that decision, I ever remember thinking that I might change my mind as got older and learned more. Well I nearly 80 and I've been an atheist for nearly 70 years. Christianity isn't special, it can't survive skepticism. It's can't overcome the Freedom to Doubt. JWs are nuttier than most but all religions are the same. Otherwise competent people believe ever one of them. It's such a waste. Living things die, they don't come back, they don't live forever. That's the way the World works. I've been married to the same woman for nearly 60 years. I have had a couple of parking tickets.

Wow what a find. Two highly respected men. Great admirer of Peter Gregerson. The way that he knew Wt teachings were wrong and quietly dissociated himself, meaning (at the time) other JWs can still talk to them and went about his life, didn’t hurt others. Then Wt realised that any who leave are a potential threat if they do any research, so changed dissociating is the same as disfellowshipping, cutting them off. Truly awful way to treat people. Great interviews!

These men are outstanding! Great interview. Way to stand for the truth of Jesus Christ and sharing the falsehoods of the Jehovah Witness Organization.

[@lukasligocki]

Kristy Ann, first of all, so much grateful for all of your efforts to increase a quality of this video. And what is most embracing IMO, this particular interview was recording in early 80's., and I was born in 1983, therefore (a tiny spoiler alert) almost a vast majority of my life had to be devoted to an organisation leading by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Now so on, with hindsight I can not tell that I completely voluntarily walked into it. And It really hurts, because If I had then the same opportunity and knowledge towards a certain issues regarding a JW dogma, as I have these days, probably I could maintain any kind of relations with my parents (which are still Jehovah's Witnesses). Unfortunately, under coercion, I agreed to be a baptised, and due to that, I'am shunned by my family now days, regardless of any circumstances. Even if I feel guilty to a certain things that had took place, I'm unable to share my thoughts with them and get to the conclusion and peace with each other. That is so painful.

[@gnoter2]

So many who do wake up end up so disillusioned and become agnostic/atheist - throwing out the baby with the bathwater as it were. It's so important to preserve these discussions. They continue to speak powerfully and provide a valuable perspective to support those investigating the doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Wow...no wonder the org didn't/doesn't want any of it's members to talk to people who've left! These guys are 'on point'! My parents were ramrodded into baptism in 1974 with fear tactics over 1975 being the end. I can remember being told to tell my little friend [I was 10 yrs. old] that she was going to be destroyed while the elder who studied with my dad stood their and nodded his approval. My little friend ran home crying and told her parents [who would chat with a different elder when he came to their door], and they gave the next JW who came to the door the short end of the turkey. Rather than just these points being the 'standard' disagreements, the liturgy of offenses just keeps growing and growing.
