From the first time I saw this man I thought he looked like someone who stepped straight out of a 1930s mobster movie. Needs a fedora and a violin case. I can't unsee it!

[@freespirit3891]

That's exactly what they are trying to keep you, at a kindergarten level of thinking. David possibly looks like a younger Lett. Wouldn't surprise me any if in the future he replaced him. Creepy fellow.

[@morningglory9288]

[@rasklaat2]

To me he looks like someone from Lord of The Rings movie.

[@kl7051]

Back in the 80's, during the Thur. theocratic school, the "brothers" were downgraded and "counseled" if they did not use enough hand gestures in their presentation/talk. I thought that the counsel and the hand gestures were so creepy even then. I always notice the hand gestures now in talks and cringe. BTW, glad your cat made an appearance playing with the blinds.

[@writinghappyhour6945]

Just start flossing and dabbing while giving talks. 😂

[@culinista]

Heh. I remember a brother did hand gestures during his talk for theocratic school. His papers flew to the air when he did hand gestures and had to pick them up from the floor in the middle of his talk. 🤣🤣🤣

​@@vusimngomezulu2500This is the age of information. All the secrets of the watchtower have been revealed long ago. The truth about "The Truth" lies bare for all the world to see. Only the most indoctrinated can still evade the facts and keep up the fantasy. It is a noble mission to free the victims of this cult from the mind control.

Yay! A concise one! 🎉 This was perfect. Informational. Mocking. Edited well. Humorous. Thank you!

Please carry on with more of David's talk, I'd like to hear what you make of 'googolplexes of galactic millenniums' 😂a spiritual gem thrown in nonchalantly by David in a different part of this broadcast.

You're getting so good with these edits, I feel like it's all going to culminate into some kind of experimental drum and bass mashup video. Also, quality Pokémon pun~

Been away from JsW for nearly 30 years. Watching now it is creepy, the condescending nursery school teacher manner is just… triggering and sickening to me.

[@asapstan]

David Shaffer reminds me of a grown up Dewey from Malcolm in the middle

[@davidpiren]

Yeah dude, you have no idea how creepy this dude is. I Served as an elder with. him in the late 90's. Some of the random weirdness that came out of his mouth were just laughable, even at the time. Extremely dogmatic and judgmental.

[@altworldly]

Oh man! Please spill the tea! My email’s in the description if you want to remain anonymous 😇

[@davidpiren]

First, you are spot on with your analysis of david schafer(Yeah the dude always signed his name with a small d, he loved that, when you asked him about it he got that weird scrunched up smile. So that was why I watched this video, because I always was taken back by his mannerisms and methods of teaching. This is the third time I've heard him speak since leaving dubs, 25 years now, and its like he just uses the same reasoning points for everything, I've seriously heard him use these same lines of reasoning for anytime he speaks, whether elder meeting, talk, answer at meeting etc. So as you requested here are a few weird, troubling instances. 1. We went to do elder shepherding calls on a brutally cold Saturday. His car wouldn't start so we took the subway. After we got back, just in front of 124 Columbia hts. He says to me. " Hey, wouldn't' it be interesting if a single brother had the humility to be on a circuit assembly part and was willing to talk about his masterbation problem." 2. We went to investigate a brother in my book study who had alchohol dependency problems, Big guy, two kids and uber nice wife, I still remember this mans huge nice smile. So this guy was in the hospital and when we talked to him he just fell apart, like utter shaking and trembling. So I went to his side and put my hands on his shoulder. When we left Schafer counseled me for being to familiar with him on an "investigation". Two days later schafer tells me the investigation is over because this man is Dead. Hum Maybe we could have been a little kinder to him. He was just flat out cold, and his reflection of the whole situation was just coldness.That really burned me up, to this day it burns me up. 3. He had me do an audit on the accounts when I just arrived at Bethel. I did the accounts where I had come from so he must have thought that would work. So I looked everything over, and after diligent search and talking the data over with every congregation accountant I could find at Bethel It was evident that the ex-bethelite who was doing the accounts was stealing money, like almost $10,000, and it was really easy to prove, At least there was that much missing unaccounted for. So when I presented the information to him in a meeting with him and the new accounts servant, he utterly dismissed it, like completely just looked away with echos of trepidation.

Putting his fingertips together is body language that CEOs use to command attention and authority. Google it, it’s a real thing.

[@thomash.schwed3662]

I agree. I've seen films where the cameraman-doubtless at the instruction of the director-would specifically go for the close-up of a boss sitting at his desk so that we could specifically see the movement of his fingers as he was speaking.

[@altworldly]

Count Olaf was the CEO of his acting troupe, in a way

Did you have to doordash it because you were too off balance to drive?

I know a brother who worked in Bethel with him. He said everyone hated him because he was so unkind to people who could not help him advance. He also was a huge ass kisser to those brothers who he thought would help him move up the watchtower ladder.

I’ve always been bothered by how Shafer delivered his talks. I could never finish watching. Everything from his facial expressions and hand gestures look so rehearsed. Unnatural, artificial, and forced. The execution is so awful. As annoying as Lett overdoing his fake enthusiasm when welcoming us to a new JW broadcast.

[@morningglory9288]

All the cult leaders creep me out.

[@culinista]

@@morningglory9288Yeah. Sometimes I imagine aliens jumping out from under their skin. Like from Men in Black movie.

[@thomash.schwed3662]

Oh, great! Now I'm reminded of the sight of Lett gesticulating with his arms as he says (in that condescending manner of his): "We warmly welcome you to this month's 'Jw Broadcasting'." It's a wonder he didn't try that at the regional assembly a few years ago when he referred to a baby as "a little enemy", although he did crack that sadistic grin of his when he said that. Truly sickening! And Schaeffer is almost a carbon copy in that department.

Lol, on the gestures. We were heretics during field service in the rural territory. Everyone had to talk all day like a character in a convention Bible drama. All that gesturing was exhausting. Whoever broke first had to get all the cattle guard gates. 😂😂😂 Rebels attract rule breakers.

I feel very disturbed that at my kingdom hall a woman is allowed to have a shorn head during worship service and field service. Also a brother during the consideration has arms exposed tattooed.

[@elliesambrook5929]

Xxxx. They are all weird slow deliberate talkers. Someone needs to tell them we are not in kindergarten

[@thomash.schwed3662]

Indeed! The worst part is, this wasn't always the case. I remember hearing orators at the Society's assemblies when I was growing up. Even the non-orators knew how to speak publicly. It was only in the late '90's that I began noticing a trend toward a monotone amongst the speakers on the platform. I never liked that trend. Then, the "Theocratic School Education" book and the subsequent changes to the Theocratic School codified that trend. It was complete with the 2009 Song Book, particularly with that Society nursery rhyme "Listen, Obey and Be Blessed". I thought that it couldn't possibly get any worse after that. Five years later, the Society began the "Broadcasting". So, not only have speakers adopted a monotone (ridiculous in itself), it's been combined with infantilizing language. That combination is positively intolerable.

[@stephaniekary2759]

He was my fave as a believer! My mom and I found him at a convention and got a photo with him, fangirling much🤣 Now, SO CREEPY!
