The bit that made me most angry was where the mum badmouthed the grandma for offering food to her dead ancestors on special days, as if that's shameful or weird. It's no different from westerners laying flowers on people's graves, and it's a way we remember and cope with loss. And the grandmother's belief system didn't require she judge or hate on gay people.

[@AaaaNinja]

JWs aren't supposed to do those things because it's considered idol worship. You're not supposed to worship the dead. It doesn't matter whether it's similar to laying flowers on a grave, JWs don't do that either, it's forbidden to worship the dead.

When I was in my teenage years I steered dangerously close to becoming a JW. I was never baptized but I attended meetings regularly for over a year. At some point it had gotten so bad that JW encouraged me to break with my family (they are very devout catholics) and it almost happened after I got kicked out of the house. Fortunately, through the support of my friends and family I was able to get back on track and now live a happy life without religion. I just got my PhD degree this year! Certainly something they would have never allowed me to do.

Then came the shoes thing which was out of left field. If I had an older kid and they pass down clothes they don't wear anymore to their younger sibling, who am I to judge? This just shows how parents can really damage their own kids. Also, the story of Lot's wife disturbed me as a child. I don't know why, I was never a JW, but I did grow up Christian.

How does a “religion” that claims to be racially equal do such stereotypical things. I was born in the Watchtower and now I am a extremely proud disfellowshipped person in this cult. It’s so crazy how racist the Watchtower is and the members who are people of color don’t even see it. There is only one person who isn’t of European background in the governing body. Where is the Hispanic, Asian, African, Arabic and so on in the governing body? Why can’t they give direction to everyone? They have that one token black guy to look like they are “diverse.” It is a slap in the face to each and every JW that is not of European background. It’s like they’re saying that only White men can give direction.

Also it's ironic that they use Lot's wife as an allegory: and while she being turned into a pillar of salt 🧂 as a punishment, other scholars argue that it was a mercy, afterall she had friends, family, memories and hobbies. I mean, nostalgia hurts. Is Lot's wife really a bad person?

[@SeenNothinYet]

Lots wife situation was really one of the threads in the Old Testament that blames and/or devalues women in general & particularly in contrast to the men. Just earlier when the ‘angels’ went to Lots place, they get threatened with sexual assault by a mob - Lots solution was to offer up his little girls to protect God’s messengers. Lots wife WAS NEVER getting away safely, the “Old Testament God” was always about ‘making examples’ of women since Eve. God always only spoke to the men and told them to “get their women inline” OR ELSE! So the women are expected to obey their husbands NO MATTER how crazy they are.

I am from South Asia. It is really important for the head of the family to be a man in our culture. Most of the families are like these. Sons are way more important than daughters. Only they can be head of the family. Sometimes some women take charge and they are seen as bad. Because they are doing too much. They are suppose to ask help from other men who are relatives (by blood). But they take decisions of their lives on their own. As if its their lives. How dare they!!!!

[@vbrown6445]

My sister is a JW and also is unable to work due to a car accident. I, her son, and my parents have provided her financial and other support (including housing) for the last many years.

Each time we have to hold our tongues and not point out that it was actually her FAMILY that has provided for her.

[@SeenNothinYet]

The “Jehovah” here is JW, it’s the only way this progression of events barely makes any sense. The hierarchy is ‘actual God’ -> JW -> ‘Man of the House’ -> ‘Household/Family’. The new house is there before the mom starts working because the dad was still nice, but shit happens AND he does recognise that they need the money even though he wined all along. I think the main antagonist is his inability to continue providing like he was, threatening his leadership role & the hierarchy. And if this went on long enough, his family might start getting all sorts of ideas other than indentured servitude. They wouldn’t even have to stop being Christian.

[@Przemko27Z]

It's absurd to me that they wrote the husband as what's basically a blatant parody of a egotistical Christian and made him be in the right. Like, mate, almost every well adjusted religious person is gonna tell you to not be like that guy.

[@nxthing6611]

This is exactly how my family is and it is quite sad. They do not care what happens in this life because they believe they're destined for heaven, so nothing in this life matters. Great video, great channel.

[@animalsandlifelife5631]

Something i noticed is that in all of these videos is that their main conflict is always about a "temptation". Not something like relationship issues, building something, kid struggling in school, literally anything else. Its always something regarded as a temptation that is the conflict of the show. Like everything is supposedly "perfect" until the temptation. Like the watchtower is trying to constantly remind members of the org that they cant follow the "temptations".

[@SeenNothinYet]

And the what they deem a “temptation” is at times ridiculous. Even in this video the actual evil temptation is people being away from work, sorry church. At least at a job they feign work/life balance AND IMPORTANTLY they pay you…then call on your day off & you have to reply to emails like IMs. JW’s only offer is salvation from eternal damnation which will cost you everything.

[@NabihaTahasin-mz3sx]

Asian parents are very strict about study. That stereotype is true. Our worth depends on our marks.

[@0neInTheChambie]

I've only just come across this channel earlier today, I am so hooked. I was never a part of the JWs, although I was raised by 4 denominations of Christianity. My family consists of my grandparents: Protestant & reformed. My parents: Roman catholic and my aunt: Anglican. I was never shunned by anybody. my grandparents loved me even when I wore satanic symbols, I was always welcome in their home. They would always invite me but never force me to come to church. They would pray over their meals, pray for us when they go to bed and they still do. They supported my niece when she came out as Bisexual. My parents strayed from the church after my brother was born and the church tried to push them to bring my hospitalized brother in for his baptism, being baptized myself allowed me to get married in a roman catholic church if I wanted to. My aunt who was raised by my grandparents was pretty much like my grandparents.. I now live a life without religion, unlikely to practice as I just want to live my life as full and happy as I can. When I see these videos, I am reminded that I'm one of the lucky ones.. I feel bad for those that have ties to JW and mormon families/churches.. I hope they get that sweet release from the cultish deathgrip sooner rather than later, everybody deserves happiness.

[@august6316]

Funny how they could be rich and happy if they just let go of religious guilt

[@SeenNothinYet]

It’s not even ‘general religious guilt’, it’s specific JW guilt. In the majority of Christian strains the everlasting guilt sprouts from “sin” and/or living a life without God. JW’s implementation of doctrine like “God 1st” is akin to a corporate structure or military rank, with said God at the top of the chain of command. They also intentionally use Jehovah (Jesus essentially) sidestepping the ‘trinity’ - the nature of which aside includes the ‘Holy Spirit/Ghost’ who (personhood applies) is supposed to be the believer’s HELPER. This for many is the connection to his Almighty, a support while living on earth and the nurture of the faith [through trials & tribulations] etc… Simply put, the ability to be a Christian without a church or congregation. JW [mechanically] inhabits that role which then means there is NO way to any spirituality apart from them.

[@theadskipper2928]

I think they are going to grow to regret the whole broadcast and dramas idea. Tony Morris was the first victim because of that unhinged rant about not changing policy and they scrubbed all his videos from the site. Then they scrubbed those videos about shunning… I hope the authorities look at their Caleb and Sofia videos to see how they psychologically abuse their children I wouldn’t be surprised if you start seeing those cartoons magically disappear as well 🤦🏾‍♂️ The internet is undefeated.

[@Bob-b7x6v]

Yes, filial piety is an Asian thing. Your parents made you to be doctor, lawyer, engineer so they have you as their retirement plan. My white, Catholic father even pulled this 5h@t on me.

[@followthewhiterabbit884]

I am asking as someone who was in the same position like you: Are you free now? I am fine now, but for me it was like a cage.

[@semi-animatronic9773]

The part when they're questioned if they have a problem with gay people and they constantly do everything in their power to not give a straight yes or no is honestly so fucking irritating. Whenever i hear people give a lecture on how the bible says it's wrong and they're just doing as the bible says, it feels like they're just using it has a shield/scapegoat for their shitty beliefs because they don't wanna get in trouble. Which should be seen as shameful for people like them, considering how much they preach about how they will always stand up for their beliefs unapologetically until their last breath no matter what.

[@SPAnComCat]

Jehovah's Witnesses is the reason why I am against Organised Religion as a whole, Thankfully I am an Agnostic Atheist who is a Free-Thinking Contemporary AnCom.

[@Yabe_uke]

Does it count as a loss if I pre-emptively cringe the moment you upload because even still shots of JW stuff makes me cringe?

[@akuaanimah9426]

Whats with the husband's crazy eyes...opened so wide

[@loneshewolf74]

4:08 In Canada we take our shoes off when we go inside a house, so it would have been perfectly normal for me to do this, even if there weren't any Asian people. I don't get why Americans always have to wear their shoes indoors. Maybe they think bare or sock feet are offensive? Hippie, maybe?

[@darthlobster]

I'm autistic and hate how bare feet feel, so I wear slippers. Also I have cats. Trust me, you'll only step on cat barf accidentally in the dark one time in socks getting up to pee in the middle of the night before you wear slippers too

[@freespirit3891]

Winter I can see taking shoes/boots off because they are wet, to keep floors clean. But floors can be quite cold also. Please provide slippers/scuffs to visitor.

[@HAILEYTAI-w3t]

I'm Asian,and parents being strict abt hw is true

[@katwitanruna]

Because any extra money you have beyond basic needs, and sometimes not even that, should be given to the outrageously wealthy church! 😂

[@mopey1797]

It makes me angry to think of good people being suckered by this cult.

[@hotmilo]

32:58 I'd rather cry about my life in a car I worked hard for, rather than sitting on the curb.

[@VolcyThoughts]

33:19 “Jehovah can’t bless a decision that’s not in his will.” “Wait, I thought he was all powerful” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@careottjuice]

I'm glad Mennonite Brethren aren't allowed to watch TV so they can't make cringe movies or shows like this 😭

"Oooh tacos" This show is killing meeeeee

[@TZER0]

They mention the wife of lot story, but they are forgetting the most interesting and disturbing part of the story of Lot. His daughters having sex with him so they could get pregnant. I didn’t make that up, it’s in their Bible.

[@SeenNothinYet]

Yes… and oh no, he ALSO offered them to up to the city’s ‘welcome party’ of r*p*. I mean he just met the guys he was trying to protect, who said they about to obliterate the whole city- I still think they would have been able to handle themselves, or they weren’t Godsends.

[@Raphaeltheslayer]

I asked in a comment earlier about this that it’s disgusting 🤮

[@Alisha-zq6vh]

This family has the same rice cooker that I do. That's what I got out of the drama 😂

[@MarlonAnderson-bw6rh]

No woman should be treated that way, I pray 🙏 that they wake up 🙏.

Gonna be hard to be fair many of them are manipulated into believing that everything is fine so it’s. Gonna be hard 😢
