David Splane Hates Women and Children | Rebuttal

[@gbunting7905]

When the husband says to his wife, "We're a team, right?", he sounds like a mafia member about to shoot someone

[@industrialalliance9905]

" why dont I have a good relationship with my children" Maybe because you throw away their sentimental items without asking, passive aggressively bully them over what they wear and default to reading Bible scriptures instead of actually listening to their problems

[@andersdrew9223]

I don't get it, it worked in the drama!!

[@lulubellers]

And then kick them out and act like they're dead when they don't agree with you.

[@Lovealwayswins1]

Yeah maybe that’s why because in perfect little jw land things aren’t a weird movie script written by a bunch detached lunatics who live in a commune and are unaware of reality…..

[@Bonesinbloom]

The condescension in this "drama" could be cut with a knife. When the kids start defending their phone use, "we haven't done anything bad", clues you in to how so many jw parents are so strict and tend to accuse their kids of bad intentions. Those kids were panicked.

[@michaelkirakossian2282]

I think you need a poorly led family study by an underqualified man to set your opinion straight

[@AAAAAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH]

oh wow, this made me look at my life

[@RCCurtright]

So true. I’m also reminded of the birthday cupcake video with Caleb where he comes home and has a full emotional meltdown about Jehovah possible rejecting him as a friend. It’s supposed to be this heartwarming example of the Dad reassuring him, but it’s like really they are actually revealing the way that JW kids experience extreme emotional pressure to make Jehovah happy and if you didn’t lay that on their shoulders, there would be no meltdown to begin with.

[@dcostanzino]

It's so repressive and lifeless. I felt constant guilt and still do sometimes for just doing normal things like watching violence and sex, swearing, etc. I know. I know. I am evil.

[@blondefro]

I STILL don’t understand how they think regurgitating answers straight from the paragraph they just read is productive on any level. I remember coming to this conclusion AT THE FUCKING AGE OF SEVEN.

[@annalacey2743]

Oh it is productive…for INDOCTRINATION.

[@Photoshoplilli]

the BS with the family worship where the guy's like 'hey babe stop talking in family study' and she's like 'oh sorry babe that I opened my mouth" ----- I hated 💀

[@LOH__]

I have a talking pig stuck to my fridge. It’s a Babe magnet.

[@DariaMorgendorffer123]

There’s hunger, violence, and death in the world, but god has to prioritize this girl’s ripped pants.

[@laymanphil8513]

Phone time is increasingly becoming a refuge for young JWs. It is as if they were disconnecting from the Watchtower to take a breath of pure air before reconnecting to the world of the Watchtower.

[@xBLUExSUMMERSx]

I’ve always hated the dramatizations for the exact reason you pointed out. It’s all on message for their own propaganda. These are not real stories. It’s just straw man situations that don’t ever happen in the real world.

[@evilcaptainred]

Not an ex jw but ex evangelical, and boi. This was basically our teaching- talk about wreaking havoc in a household. Ironically, it made my parents have even more difficulty, almost like it’s a stupid teaching or something! 🤦🏽‍♀️Loved watching you rip this apart! 🖤

[@ingramwright5399]

Those selfish kids doing school work. All that thinking and stuff, trying to miss out on all the fun times cleaning toilets and windows.

[@back-roomconfessions6746]

This was a banger 💃 Your editing gives us lots of laughs

[@frankafer920]

32:54 even I know that most Jehovah’s witnesses would be jumping for joy if they heard that news, and yet it’s such a dead response

[@jasonuren3479]

Anybody find it funny and ironic that he talks about how spending time on their phones and devices can take their time away from 'more important things' _after_ they all read a scripture _on their phones?_ 🤔😂

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

I think it’s more important to protect the children from pedophiles than keeping the clergy privileges or read the mistranslation of the Bible.

[@coldboltlighting1237]

Double standards to the MAX!!!

[@lulubellers]

The watchtowers whole history is ironic, pointing the finger at everything, condemning everything, but non of it ever can apply to them.

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

@@lulubellers you can find some can apply, but at the end, the worst offender is Watchtower itself…

[@luna-p]

That girl should have said, yes every night when I pray I ask for guidance on my outfit for the next day. Jesus picked this out for me... are you saying Jesus has bad taste?

"Well, you see, dear... Jesus doesn't really stay caught up with the latest styles. For those we have to go to -the- -governing- -body- Jehovah."

Absolutely loving you tearing this apart. You are hilarious😂. Also, the shirt you wore in the opening was beautiful. Also also, the mom’s daughter’s drawing was you. The fake excitement when he got said he applied to bethel “T h a t s s o e x c i t i n g”

[@lulubellers]

Yea, because the they want more brainwashed idiots to work for nothing for a multi billion 💰 tax exempt corporation.

[@rustynutz9790]

Best video yet. I literally lol'd so much, thanks for this vid. Nice edits too btw

[@isabelramos7754]

Lol, I showed up to a JW party at a PARK with ripped jeans and running shoes and my “teacher” told me my outfit wasn’t “appropriate” WE WERE AT A PARK PLAYING VOLLEYBALL!! (I was a non baptized publisher at that time) and that was my first red flag… but I still got baptized 😂

[@lulubellers]

Should have worn an iron maiden shirt.

[@bmonster]

I remember as a kid we were at a picnic and 2 boys around 17/18 showed up with backwards ball caps on. People started talking and getting upset and an elder went and talked to them and they left. It was such a big deal. Lol

[@bmonster]

@@vusimngomezulu2500 I have no clue how that applies to what I said. Did you mean to direct that at me?

[@LuvDelux]

Ohhh man I've been way behind on yr videos and MY GOD you've gotten better in every way! Amazing! Your videos are stellar quality bro! Hilarious! Best one yet!

[@clarissascidmore210]

I guess technically kids do schoolwork for themselves so they can grow up and be able to care for themselves and work and what not, but like....no kid reasons that way. Yes kids need chores, but like there's a difference between making your five year old put away their laundry in their drawers and making them scrub toilets at the kingdom hall.

[@stevenmara1025]

Hold up. Isn’t it the lady’s house? If any one should be the “head of the household” it should be the one paying the mortgage.

[@Aussie565]

There’s not one thing they can be individuals in! They talk about their phones and devices Ok next clothes Next Punctuality Ffs!!! Leave the kids alone!!

[@InvisibleJesus1919]

I swear we are one and the same from your hysterically funny but true as well as direct and concise commentary to the udder insanity they expect you to consume without questions or criticism. I called out Lett for saying that babies are the enemies of God to the elders last month as well as calling the GB a bunch of out of touch boomers that don't understand that it's not the 50's anymore. They're so f**king condescending. Even when I speak to the elders they hear what I say but try to turn it all on me like I'm wrong and don't get it. 😆

[@moriah1202]

Your editing never misses 😂😂😂 I am snorting

[@lk1590]

Communication among worldly family members is waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better than anything I've seen depicted here. (Give us a break with those ripped jeans. They're not even fashionable anymore.)

[@yadabub]

I visualized the Bethel kitchens being staffed with 3 year olds standing on stools.

[@liv328]

The part they leave out is that he probably abuses her in some form or another. She is expected to provide him with sex whether she wants to or not. And her male child has more rights than she does and her husband will not defend her against that.

[@samanthas2280]

Telling her not to speak or contradict him is abuse already

[@Angry20Something]

Omg. When she threw them in the trash. Donate them to a kid who wasn't raised in a cult!

[@altworldly]

That made me so mad!! How clueless

This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen the JWs put out there

[@tniero3652]

As a child / teen/ young adult raised in the JW cult, I promise you that I absolutely never had a “ ball” cleaning the KH or any assembly venue 😂😂

[@joannaalabaster5916]

I also wonder what would happen if someone started a trade union of JW workers, how quickly they would be disfellowshipped (what I really love is that the most left-wing party in Poland has a trade union for people employed by the party).

[@alexanderx33]

18:30 ngl, kinda did like cleaning the hall. now realizing that the praise was probably half the reason and the other half was that it was infinitly more interesting than listening to the content of the talks and less stressful than trying to be social.

[@bearwoody]

I knew exactly one JW whose house looked like that. I don't think they've been donating enough money to the society

Apparently the issue with ripped jeans - aside from being popular in subcultures they dislike - is that they started as a symbol that somebody *spent a lot of time on their knees...* The rule is still stupid but that's apparnetly their main issue with them.

[@altworldly]

WHOA, that’s pretty nuts. Never heard that before

[@bessmcneill971]

Is family worship new vernacular? We called it family study in the 90s (in the US)

[@altworldly]

It’s new for you, but it’s been called family worship officially for 10ish years now I think

[@ladama3201]

I’ve never heard if it referred to that way either but I’ve been out nearly 20 years.

[@bessmcneill971]

@@altworldly Family worship is a terrible name. It sounds like they are conducting rituals to their ancestors, which was a thing in ancient “pagan” religions.

[@thewatchtowerstudy4511]

Really hope you don't mind me saying this, but I really feel you're getting back to your best with these videos. There were a few videos where it was a bit too much banter with your guests etc and they went on quite long. But the ones where you prepare a commentary I think are your best, and this one was good because you kept it to just really interesting short points. That is just supposed to be constructive feedback, don't take offence, I know a lot goes into them. I just enjoy these a lot more.

Brutal

[@JK-gp2rh]

That was that exact same reaction from my family We've been watching over the videos so that we can find things that we can "work". It quickly became evident about just how much of this symposium was literally actual filler. No one listened when I mentioned just how much of this could have been summed up in 1 part.

I’ve been a boss and I think both Jake and the gov body member are right. People shouldn’t be told to do things that aren’t their job. But also many people say “that isn’t my job” when it explicitly is.
