Reacting to JW movie HOW CAN I MAKE REAL FRIENDS

In this video, I react to the Jehovah's Witnesses movie HOW CAN I MAKE REAL FRIENDS and uncover the hidden themes of gaslighting, control, isolation, and manipulation. While the video outwardly promotes making friends, there’s a deeper, more concerning narrative that encourages emotional dependence and social control. I explore how these elements can impact those within the organization and share my thoughts on the subtle tactics at play. Watch as I break down each scene and reveal what's really going on behind the surface.

You're so right, they create the problems and then play the hero by helping to deal with them.

[@ErikaMesi]

Exactly! It’s such a manipulative cycle-they create an environment where you feel lost or inadequate, and then they swoop in with their 'solutions' to make themselves look like the savior. It’s all about control. Real freedom comes from breaking out of that pattern and finding your own path. Thanks for pointing that out!

This is there perspective, Mine, on the other Hand was, I'm 49 now, I grew up in the truth and I had 4 Witness Friends in the Kingdom Hall, and I learned how to Smoke Weed, Curse, lie Steal, skip school all from them.. My neighbors were not JW and they were nice, always asked me if I was OK because they could her My JW Parents Physically Assaulting each other, gave me food and kind words. Sorry but my worldly friend took better care of me then the Very Judgemental JW did. I enjoy your channel. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m really sorry to hear about what you went through, but it’s powerful how you’ve recognized the difference between genuine kindness and judgment. It’s heartbreaking that those who were supposed to show love fell short, but I’m glad your neighbors were there for you during those tough times. Your perspective is important, and I’m grateful you’ve found my channel. Wishing you peace and healing on your journey.
