Satan Makes No Sense | Jehovah’s Witnesses

I'm tempted to go on your discord but the last time I learned a new social media platform I realized I was in a cult and lost my whole family. I have no idea what cornerstone of my worldview will get kicked over next.

Don't be afraid to join a nother cult, think about it, you already have so much experience with cult's, you might even become a leading figure in the next cult, and make disciples of your own, if you can't be good/ be great, take on the world as your own, Remember the tree is in the middle of the garden, take a bite dairy free laborers you can be king,

Isn’t that a good thing, though? So your old, faulty worldview is replaced by one more grounded in reality. That’s a good thing, and is worth finding more of!

[@jaypearson2055]

I asked my mother very clearly - "How exactly does Satan influence people?" She could NOT answer the question. She just kept saying "Because he's bad and he wants us to do bad and he wants to make Jehovah sad." I kept saying, "That doesn't answer the question. The question is: HOW does he do it? Does he get into our heads? If so, then what's the point of that scripture saying that men are drawn out by their OWN desire?' Again, she could not answer the question despite having been a JW for 30 years. None of them know how because the concept of Satan doesn't make sense. I also said to her "Then it must be that Satan is just as strong and influential as God Himself, yes? If he can influence us like that and he's causing ALL of the bad things in the world - then he has just as much power as God and that doesn't make sense." She didn't have an answer for that except "No". I ALSO said that the concept of Satan makes God seem sadistic because we are already at a disadvantage because we're "imperfect". We already make tons of mistakes and are flawed beyond belief - so then he ADDED another layer of difficulty? What chance do HUMANS have against all-powerful SPIRIT beings?

😅… the judaism invented Jehovah and his punching bag Diablo Satanas…😅 Its all BS. Amazing how billions of people are born into BS.

It takes some intelligence to grasp… I suppose

[@bigskypioneer1898]

When talking with a loved one, especially a parent, that has been a part of a group as long as 30 years, really the only you can do is _exactly_ what you are doing. Ask challenging questions designed to get that person to think outside of their prescribed responses. It will be very uncomfortable for them - cognitive dissonance is designed to protect the brain when it entertains two opposing view points. Also, frustratingly, the 30 years of indoctrination is hard to fight. The neural pathways have been hardwired almost to circumvent uncomfortable and challenging thoughts. Then you also get into "sunk cost fallacy" when someone has been in for 30 years you are asking them to negate the belief system that guided those 30 years of their lives - most people fight against it. SOME DON'T let's be clear. We can never know who will reach a point when the cognitive dissonance is so painful that it causes them to wake up. The only thing we can do for loved ones is be patient, let them know we are there for them if they ever need us and to keep asking those questions that go directly to their "thought" programming and challenge their perspective. (Which is the biggest reason that JW's and other such destructive groups practice shunning - because they know sooner or later if an outsider is allowed to provoke enough independent thought outside of the programming - the follower will realize the lie.)

[@universalman5861]

The scripture never said that men are ONLY drawn out by their desire...Both a baby and a man can easily kill an ant. Does this mean that they possess the same strength?... God didnt add Satan, he allowed Satan to be; be that as it may Satan is not all powerful. None of your questions were really difficult if you just sat down and worked through them logically. P. S. Im not a JW

For my mom every bad that happened growing up was the devil. Especially trivial things like misplacing the car keys so we’d be late for the meetings. Only as a grownup I started called my mom out on it “yeah the devil has nothing better to do than hide a 70year old woman’s glasses”

[@extremelylargeslug4438]

Every good thing that happens to JW’s is a blessing from Jehovah, all bad things are either Satan testing them or an “unforeseen occurrence” which then requires you to pray to Jehoober for the faith to endure. Ah, I hate remembering those days in the field service car.

This takes me back to my freshman year of college.

Great video! I always thought - why would satan deliberately create problems for people? Wouldn't he want to do his best to make things better? He's trying to prove that his rule is better than god's, so why would he want to make the world worse? If he makes the world better, then he would easily prove that god was wrong and he was right. It never made sense to me.

[@terridovey7648]

Why does EVERYONE in the clouds look like Kenny Rogers with wings? Satan is the prince and power of the air, and he influences people since we're all sinners. And since this world is in the book of Revelation now, he's working even harder because he has a short time left to win/take people that will go live in his house for eternity.🔥 Love always!💕🌸💕✝️

Another entertaining video Jake, thanks ! I’m hoping the conversation between you and the southern devil becomes a regular feature . one question that popped up recently for me is when JWs say ‘the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one ‘ do they mean the good bits aswell ?

You might not see this comment, but I just wanted to say that I am SO glad I found your channel. I've been PIMQ my whole life, actively PIMO since Covid hit and I didn’t have to go to the KH anymore (hallelujer). I've been POMO for about a year, but I've only just recently truly "woken up." And I just felt so alone. It never dawned on me to reach out and find the ExJW community. It never even crossed my mind that one existed. But the r/exjw sub was recommended via email notification, and down the rabbit hole I went. Anyway, your channel has made me feel not so alone. Your sense of humor regarding all the absurdity and your logical/analytical approach to these beliefs has perfectly reflected how I've felt about this my whole life, but I was rarely ever able to voice it aloud. So, thank you! You and your wife seem like such a cool, fun couple. I wish we were friends and could hang out lol I hope that doesn’t come across as creepy. ~ Melissa 😊

I did Bible study with two JW women in order to better understand some extended family members. I remember the point when I realized that they believed in Satan as a real entity that was somehow physically present in the world, and that I needed to believe in him. So I said, "You mean I am expected to believe in a literal Satan in the world?" and the reply I got was "Yes. If you don't believe in Satan the whole thing falls apart." and that was said to me with a tone that seemed a bit incredulous. What this implied, to me, was that Satan was more important and powerful than God/Jehovah.

[@TheScotsalan]

If you look at matt 6:13 where jesus tells us the lords prayer.. look at what it says 👍. Jesus says “.. and lead us not into temptation...”. So jesus, is himself directly saying, pray to GOD not lead you to temptation. He does not say, pray to god that he prevents satan tempting you. Nope, its god doing the tempting. So, if you are tempted to go to the bar instead of church, its god doing the tempting. Something to think about

Yes this a great question. There is a clear contradiction here. We were told we could protect ourselves from demons by staying away from spiritism and magical objects. This should work exactly because demons can't influence us otherwise or we would be at their mercy. So does the White house have its own Medium or tarot card reader? Secretary of Spiritism? So I asked an elder recently about this and it proved to be quite a gotcha question. He just had to say that we don't know but it happens 😂. Hope I got him thinking.

There is a complex answer to your question(s) and a simplified version. Because I'm just waking up and don't feel like the several paragraphs, I'll just give you the simplification: Mankind are extreme easy to manipulate. All that is required is a good plan. Eve didn't need Satan to eat the fruit for her right? Last I checked.. he just needed to convince her to do it. Likewise, suffice it to say seeds have been planted, and over the last hundreds of years been allowed to grow, properly watered and cared for, and strategically placed. Here is a more modern example; how many believe Trump won the presidency by Russian interference? Many did and still do. However, it has been proven without a shadow of a doubt that the evidence was absolute bs and fabricated. None of it true at all. But how did people believe it? Easy.. billions of dollars funneled to media outlets to tell you what they wanted you to hear, manipulating thoughts. All it takes is a *good plan*. Facemasks, social distancing? The data is in across the world.. did diddly squit ( .. ;) ) but how many people are literally paralyzed out of fear to this day if they are in public and anyone is near them unmasked? All it takes.. is a great plan and an outlet to express the message. Humans will do the rest. They crave being controlled and manipulated due to the slowburn of brainwash and gaslighting that has been invoked upon them for generations. For instance; Did you know? The soul purpose of the gladiator games etc. in Rome were to distract the citizens from government corruption? They needed to get them something fun to focus their attention to to keep them enslaved (so to speaking).. boy did that go well. Entertainment today serves the same purpose. To your point tho, they way they express Satan's part in his manipulation is too watered down. Showing a lion in a room is retarded. If they really wanted to help people not watch pornography (for example), they should explain why and how it exists. Make the connection of human sex trafficking and how many of those videos were produced from farming people. And maybe let people in on what those human traffickers also do with the people they kidnap? They are sold to people who do absolutely disgusting things.. rape/torture/murder young boys and girl. It's a full on business.. it's not hard to see the demonic undercut of much of this world. Satan isn't required to be everywhere all at once for his ideology to be. That is where *ignorance is bliss* and *free will* come to play.

[@MichaelYoder1961]

If Satan is a spirit and not part of the physical world, he must one way or the other hade a physical impact on the reality we live in, but how?

I do enjoy your videos. I like your quirky perspectives. It's fun to be able to laugh at at the things we as Witnesses used to take so seriously. Although the way Watchtower talks about pornography is not at all helpful and it's attitudes towards sexuality is seriously unhealthy former Jehovah's Witnesses discussing pornography and society at large neglects to mention the human rights violations rampant in the porn industry. Even if someone is watching relatively mild run of the mill pornography chances extremely high the actors have experienced a wide range of exploitive and abusive treatment. The actors often have to endure pretty gruesome treatment before ever being able to get the nicer stuff most people consider harmless. Even if a person is only interested soft porn they support the larger industry of exploitation with their purchases. I in no way shape or form have found any of your discussions to be sexist or dismissive of the rights of anyone. Society at large tends to close their eyes to the realities of exploitation in the sex trades and so many other areas as well. I feel that as former Witnesses we can't just close our eyes and pretend "Jehovah will take care of it" expecting some magical solution that negates personal responsibility.
