JW Propaganda Unraveled: Why the Latest Tactics are Failing

In this special episode of DiffiCULT Childhood, we collaborate with Chaka Yumba from / @anthonymorrisreturns to dissect and analyze the latest convention propaganda videos from the Jehovah's Witness organization. Despite their efforts, these videos are failing to keep JWs in the fold, and we’re here to explain why.
Join Falon, Jason, and Chaka as we play these propaganda clips and then take them apart from three unique perspectives:
* Falon provides a Christian point of view.
* Jason offers an atheist point of view.
* Chaka, a licensed mental health therapist, shares a nonbeliever mental health professional's insight.
Together, we reveal the transparency and flaws in these propaganda tactics, discussing why they are not only ineffective but also blatantly obvious in their attempts to control and manipulate.
Plus do JW’s have guardian angels? They didn't used to teach that, but now they kind of do.
Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that sheds light on the failing strategies of the JW cult and provides support for those seeking to break free.
Don't forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe to help us reach more people and support those leaving high-control religions.

That was one of the red flags for me, when they started building after they sold in NY. I thought why are they doing this? I thought the end was near? I noticed a lot of the witnesses buying newer cars, building houses on families property, some started going to college!some decided to have more kids. I realize that they knew the end wasn’t coming as soon as they were trained to believe. They still consider themselves Jehovah’s witnesses, I guess the more modern version. Me, l left the cult!

[@SheilaTrueLove]

The BIBLICAL prohibition on blood refers to the consumption of ANIMAL BLOOD as a FOOD source, NOT BLOOD TRANSFUSION. The context of the passages mentioned at (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:10-14, and Acts 15:29) is about DIETARY LAWS and IDOLATROUS PRACTICES, NOT MEDICAL PROCEDURES. In the ancient world, BLOOD was considered a FOOD SOURCE, and the Bible prohibited its consumption to distinguish the Israelites from surrounding cultures. The prohibiting of blood was NEVER intended to APPLY TO MEDICAL TRANSFUSIONS, which DIDN’T EXIST AT THE TIME. Many Christian denominations and theologians interpret the biblical prohibition on blood as not applicable to blood transfusions, which are a medical intervention aimed at saving human life. They see blood transfusions as a separate category from the biblical prohibition, and consider them a LIVE-SAVING measure that aligns with the BIBLICAL VALUE of PRESERVING HUMAN LIFE. So, while the Bible prohibits consuming blood as food, it does not explicitly prohibit blood transfusions as a medical treatment. You are so right when you said, they will NEVER change their policy because they know that a lot of people have DIED and are continuing to DIE because of their FALSE INTERPRETATION of the Scripture. There was a time when they didn't allow ORGAN TRANSPLANTS either because they said it was a form of CANNIBALISM. Every YEAR 1,000 to 2,000 people DIE because of their refusal to take a FULL BLOOD TRANSFUSION that can be life saving. They have a lot of BLOOD on their hands.

If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION.

When it comes to celebrating our BIRTHDAYS - Job 1:4-7 Job 1:4-7 New International Version (NIV) His sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their BIRTHDAYS, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. - Other translations say KJV: And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one HIS DAY; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. - - A lot of people argue that BIRTHDAYS have PAGAN origins and as Christians, we should not participate or celebrate them. Just because something may have HAD pagan origins doesn't mean it can't be REDEEMED and used for GOOD. Celebrating our BIRTHDAY can be a great opportunity to give THANKS to GOD for another year of LIFE, and is a BLESSING in your life. It's a chance to gather our loved ones and friends to share joy and LOVE with one another. There is NO BIBLICAL evidence that suggests celebrating BIRTHDAYS is SINFUL and WRONG. Celebrating our Birthday is a way to ACKNOWLEDGE and THANK GOD for the GIFT of LIFE. As long as we are NOT taking away from WORSHIPPING GOD, we can use our BIRTHDAY as an opportunity to GLORIFY HIM. Why do Jehovah Witnesses Follow These Pagan Practices? Wedding Rings (Look in the Revelation Book on Page 236 - JW’s Condemn Wedding Rings as PAGAN…….. Wedding Veils Wedding Cakes White Wedding Dresses Black mirror board hats with tassels when they Graduate Use of the Calendar Wedding Veils The Wedding Kiss Bridesmaids Eye make-up, it was used to ward off evil spirits Wind Chimes Piñatas Flowers on Graves at Funerals DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE…….. Read Colossians 2:16: “Don’t Follow Rules That People Make = So don’t let anyone make rules for you about eating and drinking or about Jewish customs (festivals, New Moon celebrations, or Sabbath days)”.

Most, if not all of these men did not write the books attributed to them. They were written by SCRIBES, and sometimes decades, if not even centuries after the death of these apostles. Much of the material was lost among the relics of the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the caves at Qumran; many being pieced together from scraps of parchment, thus the 'flow of thought' was not always coherent and had to be filled in with what the scribes imagined was being expressed. Also, being pieced together at least decades after the death of these apostles, I highly doubt that they would've been able to write down what was said, or even meant, word-for-word. And we have to ask ourselves what was in those almost 30+ books that were omitted from the canon, such as the Book of Enoch (recently discovered), the Book of Jubilees, The Apocryphon of John, the War Scroll, the Gospel of Thomas, the Book of Judas, the Copper Scroll, and a host of others considered apocryphal. Apparently they did not fit the narrative the 'framers of the gospel' wanted the readers to believe. There is so much that (especially) Christians don't know about Scripture, who wrote and compiled it, and its accuracy, and are not really interested. They merely take it for granted that "all Scripture is inspired by God..." As proof of its authenticity. And the fact that the Revelation warns against 'not going against the things written' or adding or taking away from what is written, they are inclined to obey that command, which, ironically, includes those lost books. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?😮

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

Are you asking why aren’t we sharing numbers of active JW publishers to demonstrate the fact that the numbers are dwindling? If so, that’s because we’d have to rely on the “service year report” from the GB. But there are a few factors that make this unreliable. 1. The GB has demonstrated that it has no problem lying (Google Geoffrey Jackson Australian Royal Commission). 2. The GB changed the time reporting rules making it easier to count more “publishers” as active. 3. Countries that ban or oppress JW’s do not provide numbers. Anyone claiming to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses to a CCP census for example, would immediately be arrested and placed in a “reeducation” camp. So objectively how can we tell the JW numbers are going down? There are several ways: 1. Look at the number of active members of online ex-JW forums like the ex-JW sub Reddit. When I started waking up in 2017 it was 78,000. Now it is 101,000. And that’s just the number of people that were comfortable joining the sub Reddit. Many more lurk. Even more people leave the ex-JW sub Reddit, for example, after they’ve woken up and wish to move on with their lives and not read about former Jehovah’s Witness stuff anymore. So that means that the sub actually shows an idea of how many people are in the wake up process now. Not the total number of people who have ever woken up and consulted Reddit. 2. Look at how many new “apostate“ KZbin channels there are. Our channel for example started last October. Many others have started in the last five years. 3. Over the last five to seven years many kingdom halls have been sold. The organization has given other excuses for this but in the 1960s to the early 2000’s when the organization was actually growing, they were building kingdom halls, not selling them. Also, I want to note that the Jehovah’s Witness organization is growing. But ONLY in developing countries where the Internet is less accessible. This is because one only need to Google what Jehovah’s Witnesses really believe to realize they are a doomsday cult who call upon god to commit mass murder for their “paradise.” And that they have failed to predict the end accurately several times. There are other reasons we know the JW ORG numbers are diminishing, but my comment here is WAY too long. However, you have inspired me to do an episode specifically on this topic. That upcoming episode will be more thorough. Thank you for your comment. - Jason

Jesus said in Luke 22:19 do this in remembrance of me Where in the bible does it say Look up my birthday and have a great time giving each other gifts and then moaning about what someone got you. You are following someone that made something up like the lost sheep you are. Now I fully understand the meaning of "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" in Matt 7:14. You will miss the rapture maybe because you will be too busy drinking and having a great time a birthday party or Christmas party that doesn't even exist other than in your heads.

The reasoning about the birth of Jesus is utterly ridiculous. The Bible does not when Jesus was born. but surely not in the Fall as they reason. He could have been born in the Fall. We do not know .

I have to say, the real beards look much better than the fake spirit gum beards. Were beards allowed last year for another reason, like to give the JW actors time to grow beards for the movie and for their 1st Century Bible Village? Why did Jesus have a modern haircut when he was a boy? 38:33

@8:07 Jews are Judeans. Not “Hebrews”.

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

Hmmm. Google says: Yes, Jews are often considered Hebrews. The term "Hebrews" originally referred to the ancient people who are considered the ancestors of the Jewish people, particularly the Israelites and the Patriarchs such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The term "Jew" comes from "Judah," one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and it became more commonly used to refer to the people and their religion after the Babylonian Exile. Thus, while all Jews can be considered Hebrews, not all Hebrews would be considered Jews, especially when referring to the broader ancient Semitic peoples.

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

I’m not disagreeing, to be clear. Your comment just made me think… thanks!

[@RiseUpUNAFRAID4614]

Have you all considered getting SAVED & giving up RELIGION ❓️ None of us can do enough good deeds to get us to Heaven. We couldn't take enough sacraments, spend enough time in purgatory & so on. There's only 1 way to the Father & that's through Jesus Christ. We know the wages of sin is death. We deserve DEATH & Hell for the sins we've committed against a THRICE Holy God. But Jesus loved us so much, he took our place. He died for our sins according to the scriptures and he was buried and rose the 3rd day according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15 1-4. He's also returning any moment & for those that believe, they will be removed from earth before the hour of testing comes upon this world. Simple A, B, C's of Salvation A - Acknowledge you are a sinner like the rest of us. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. B - Believe that Jesus died for your sins was buried and rose the 3rd day according to the scriptures 1 Corinthians 15 1-4. C - Call Romans 10:13 All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved 2 Corinthians 5:21 ²¹For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. Its an AMAZING deal. Jesus does ALL of the work & gives us ALL the credit.

All the negativity on JWs is an actual prophecy being fulfilled by the enemy and many that are following him and loosing many blessings as they are blinded. No one in this entire world 😭 is perfect,so I rather be with these loving Jes and enjoy many blessings now and more in near future Jeahova God and Jesus our King will make it all complete.

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

But the Catholic’s are spoken of negatively. Mormons too. Baptists. Many more. So how can you be sure the prophecy you mention is about JW’s? Also, specifically which prophecy are you referencing? But it is brave of you to comment on a channel that doesn’t agree with your religion. Maybe you’re here because of some doubts and a desire to see what the arguments are? - Jason

Losing what blessings Rose, if that is your name? I was lied to and suckered into this org. a single mother of 5, low income job, feeding the bethelites out of $170 per week, bible study conducted in my home, grease the palms of circuit overseers. In the end, because I went to college for nursing because I saw myself getting older and did not want to pick up bottles here in NY, these people almost destroyed me. I guess that was the blessing.

Most truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.q John 13:16 . Jesus was SENT BY GOD - and called as SERVANT OF GOD. Acts 4:27 WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5

Μου κάνει μεγάλη εντύπωση που εσείς οι Αμερικάνοι δίνεται τόση μεγάλη σημασία στους μάρτυρες του Ιεχωβά.Αυτοι κάνουν το έργο τους και όποιος θέλει ακολουθεί.Επισης πολλοί που έχετε φύγει έχετε την νοοτροπία του θύματος.Εγω ήμουν έφυγα ήσυχα και απλά.Κανενας δεν με ενόχλησε και όσο ήμουν δεν έπεσε στην αντίληψη μου κάτι το τόσο φοβερό και δραματικό.Εφυγα γιατί απλά βαρέθηκα.Δεν έχω κανένα αρνητικό συναίσθημα για κανέναν που ακόμα είναι επίσης όταν συναντηθώ με κάποιον μάρτυρα του Ιεχωβά μιλάμε .Πολύ δραματικοί εσείς οι ex jwτης Αμερικής εκτός αν βγάζετε χρήματα από τα βίντεο σας οπότε καλά κάνετε.

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

Well, I'm happy that you could walk away so freely. Truly, congratulations! But for many, that may have family members still stuck inside, we cannot simply leave it all behind so easily. Additionally, you may have been spared some of the trauma other members endured. So I don't believe that sharing our experiences & giving a voice to those who, for whatever reason, cannot speak for themselves, is accepting the role of victim. If anything, that's the role of a survivor. We don't shame here. But I appreciate your feedback, thank you for watching. -Falon

[@Ava2969ny]

Πολλοί μάρτυρες έφυγαν γιατί και αυτοί βαρέθηκαν. Δεν είναι τόσο η νοοτροπία του θύματος που έχουν, αλλά πολλοί άνθρωποι εμπλέκονται στον ακτιβισμό επειδή τους βοηθά να αντιμετωπίσουν τα συναισθήματα απώλειας και απογοήτευσής τους. Έφυγες αθόρυβα και αυτό λειτούργησε για σένα, αλλά κάποιοι φεύγουν και δεν τους επιτρέπεται να επικοινωνούν με την οικογένειά τους λόγω ορισμένων πολιτικών. Υπάρχουν άνθρωποι που δεν έκαναν ποτέ αποταμίευση για συνταξιοδότηση λόγω ορισμένων πεποιθήσεων όπως "το τέλος είναι κοντά" κ.λπ., και γι' αυτό έχουν υπολειπόμενο θυμό που πρέπει να θεραπεύσουν συμμετέχοντας σε ακτιβισμό.

Jesus said true religion will be hated. I can understand why JW is being hated.

[@DiffiCULTChildhood]

Do you think we are hating or do you think we are trying to expose a “false prophet” for the benefit of others? By your metric, in Revelation 18:4, John is “hating.” We fact check what we say on our videos rigorously. We love people who are JW’s and want them to be free of this religion that has made countless false claims. - Jason

[@alfred5048]

So JWs have the truth??

[@user-np9pr5uf4i]

@@alfred5048 obvious

[@alfred5048]

Got it. Since you JWs obviously have the truth (or are in "The Truth"), maybe you can help me out with some of these questions: When your first president, Charles Taze Russell, falsely predicted that Armageddon would arrive in October 1914, was your religion "The Truth" then? When Russell had no choice but to move Armageddon to April 1918 (to buy some additional time), was your religion "The Truth" then? After Russell's death, when your second president (Joseph Rutherford) was forced to move Armageddon to 1925 (to buy even more time), was your religion "The Truth" then? When Rutherford then firmly declared that "Millions Now Living Will Never Die," was your religion "The Truth" then? (Note: less than 400,000 humans that were alive worldwide when Rutherford declared this are still alive today) When Rutherford then declared (in 1935) that the number of anointed had already reached 144,000, was your religion "The Truth" then? Beginning in 1966, when your 4th president Frederick Franz and several of his District Overseers began to strongly suggest (in at least 8 District Conventions) that Armageddon would probably arrive in the fall of 1975 but not much later than that year, was your religion "The Truth" then? When the Awake! magazine (May 22 1969 page 15) warned teenagers that they will "never grow old in this present system of things" [and would, therefore] "never fulfill any career that this system offers", was your religion "The Truth" then? When the Watchtower magazine (January 1, 1989) falsely predicted that Armageddon would arrive before the turn of the 20th Century (before the year 2000), was it "The Truth" then? (Note: don't bother looking in the JW library... they quietly changed the wording to read "in our day") In 2013, when David Splane of the Governing Body blatantly changed the definition of the "Generation That Shall Not Pass" to now mean TWO (2) Overlapping Generations, was your religion "The Truth" then? In March 2020 (well over 1,500 days ago) when Stephen Lett of the Governing Body (in a JW Broadcasting) made the bold and firm declaration that "we're living in the final part of the Last Days - undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the Last Days - shortly before the last day of the Last Days", was your religion "The Truth" then? In 2064 (40 years from now) when you're sitting in another Regional Convention listening to another talk re-assuring you that Armageddon is still just around the corner, will you finally wake up then? I'm just asking.
