"YOU NEED JESUS!" My Favorite Christian Troll

[@laurenregnier3710]

What's heartbreaking to me are little kids and the elderly . The kids have no childhood, holidays and birthdays , the elderly wasted so many years in a cult believing in a fantasy that will never come true . 😢

Facts

[@tjorven9645]

Most of my traumas were imposed on me by such Christian women.

[@al6347]

When starting to lead the group out in service. I walked the sister 3 hours straight no noon break. A sister husband took me in the back to inform me that the sisters need a break. So every time sister break time was in my group 1 to 1 1/2 hours break time. I had to endure the gossip blah blahblah.

[@joachimgoethe7864]

No shortage of narcissistic personalities in the kingdom hall. I saw that first hand. And like you said Beth, the older women are the worst. Truth be told, those people are the ones with the most skeletons in their closet.

[@lonster3000]

You are SO describing my 50 something JW sister!!

[@al6347]

Most jw's are narcissistic you can never be as good as them . Always looking down on you. I had a brother tell me in a car group how clean his swimming pool is. Mind you it was 100°f that day. so out loud, l said we're going swimming over that brothers house. He got real quite and never bragged about his pool again to me. No we did not go swimming.

[@Eman14128]

Especially those in position of power (elders)

[@ingramwright5399]

And the way they talk about each other....ain't nobody safe

[@rh3309]

My 11 year old daughter was assaulted in the kingdom hall a few weeks ago. The 60 year old sister she was forced to sit with grabbed her by the arm and dug her finger in hard an twisted it to make her pay attention. I called the police, they said they would give her a warning and next time she is getting arrested. She got hers though. Jesus warns against causing any of these little ones to stubble. My daughter say she recently suffered a serious knee injury since grabbing her and can't walk now. I guess she never heard of Annanias and Sapphira.

[@skippy1012]

I’m so happy I’m out of that cult sigh. What a relief ..

[@blairwilliamson5554]

It deeply saddens me to know how the JW organization has destroyed the lives of so many people.

[@Griffinmc]

@@KeithBryantOfficial I have absolutely no idea what you said.

[@emelylopez680]

There are so many older (mostly sisters but I also met some brothers like that too) who love to get younger people in trouble. They are actively looking for who has messed up so they can run to the elders and the child's parents. To this day I am working on being comfortable around older people, I tend to immediately become tense even when the older person is genuinely nice.

[@softpolecat1289]

Wow, I’ve always felt alone in this. My biggest bullies were never the other young sisters, it was mean older sisters looking for anything to get me in trouble over or being generally nasty to me in car groups.

[@emelylopez680]

@ oh yeah being in their car groups in service always made me feel trapped. At 15 I ended up always making arrangements with the people I was comfortable with for service. If I had no arrangements I just wouldn’t go to service. Take a guess of who started complaining and saying that I was a snob 🙄🤣

[@doriansrandorianvlogplace2676]

And thats why they don’t like us when we grow up and think for ourselves. They expect us to fit into the same boxes we were in as kids when we are grown young adults

[@al6347]

I'm an older gentleman ex elder was talking to a sister and I was very interested in her. After 3 months she bought a white dress. A wedding dress? Oh hell no take it back. Then after some time she said she would cook soup for me. So she wanted to leave it on the porch at her sisters house or in her garage...wtf. I told her when your finished with your errands call me and I'll pick it up she never called two days later I call her she told me she ate the soup and I didn't call her. Then she started gaslighting me saying I never keep my promises. I told her I never made her a promise and if l did tell me what it was. She yelled louder knowing l was not going to allow her to gaslighting me. Then she did a jw classic she hung up. Why do they behave worse than wordly women. I never had a worldly woman treat me like that. Most jw people are narcissistic and try to gaslight you. She lost her mind over a bowl of soup. I dodged a bullet.

[@astridmiller7938]

bloody hell...want a nutcase

[@johbtonks4197]

Thank you for your channel. It’s so refreshing to listen to someone I can relate to. This particular topic is very similar to what I’ve been saying for years. Some , maybe most, JW’s wear Christianity as a badge making them feel superior. Others , my parents included , were always trying to help others. What is more , they didn’t turn their back on me when I was disfellowshipped. The reason being , “Jesus wouldn’t have” they said Thanks once again.

[@G.L.McCarthy-vr1oe]

Oh those judgemental sisters. And if they were born & raised a witness they were "old" judgemental sisters by 22🙄 Crikey!! Keep up the good fight, Beth.

[@caribbeanman3379]

Yep. The only thing worse than the J.C. is the J.S. 🤣

Don't hold back Beth! 😅

[@Alisha-zq6vh]

It's amazing to see JW trolls on Exjw sites and videos, since the org is not vague at all about telling them not to do exactly that. It probably gets mentioned at every other meeting 😵

[@XNyanko]

OMG, you just described so many women I was raised around. And, unfortunately, my mother has become one of these women...but, if I learned one thing dealing with a bunch of gossiping, sanctimonious, petty, hyper judgmental old hens, it's how to deal with them in the work world...

[@magdagood16]

Oh my goodness , I can relate so much about this topic you talked about; my mother was exactly like you described, she was ice cold hearted always pulling my dress down if God forbid it was to " extravagant " or frowned upon a lipstick or anything that in her pervert mind would attract the opposite sex...I was tormented all my childhood and teenage years, no wonder now, at my older age I ended up with neurological problems and on antidepressants. Yeah, thank you for bringing up this true and painful image of the "older" narcissistic so called sisters. 😒

[@nicosyiallouris1103]

Thank you Beth i learn every thing you said the hard way to be honest my good character has been destroyed in the WT Cult 😢😢😢

[@kerstinklenovsky239]

I am a born-again Christian who loves your videos and has learnt a lot from them. I know the sort of individuals you are describing. And yes, a lot of Christians are very off-putting. But we are not all like that. I wish you every good thing.

[@heidijay5902]

I’m reading the comments & wondering if half of them even listened to what you have said. So true, I have no interest in discussing my beliefs anymore, I’m traumatised by being forced to, but some people have to validate their own beliefs by insisting I believe the same as them (I & everyone they’re directing the comments to). Then there are others treat quoting scripture like typing it out is casting a magic spell & is somehow going to magically align my mind or whoever is reading’s mind with theirs. I think it’s because the Christian leaders tell their followers that the Bible’s words have power… It’s delusional at best & both result in pushing me away personally (& giving me a laugh too). Everyone is free to believe whatever they believe, if they truly believe it, why are they so insecure about it? Why do they need validation for those beliefs? I particularly love this channel because of the shared EXJW experience & you have such a great way of expressing exactly how I feel when sometimes I struggle to get my thoughts straight. In saying that is watching this channel validation seeking on my part? In a way, yes.🙃

[@astridmiller7938]

indeed

[@skippy1012]

It’s a toxic cult… It had so many potential to be something good.

[@linksrat]

@skippy ---- what 'potential for good' did it have if what they teach is actually unorthodox christianty? IOW, they're helping people draw AWAY from the Savior. That is not good in any way, but perhaps I misunderstand you.

[@skippy1012]

@ no you’re totally right.. I agree with you .. they destroyed my child hood ..

[@linksrat]

@ Sorry to read that. But it challenges your statement that 'It' had so much potential for good. A cult has very little, if any, potential for good. Happy you are out!

[@denishartley3828]

Sadly, the nastiness is inherent to varying degrees in every religuous organization. Jesus didn't preach religion, he opposed it. Jesus invited humanity to accept relationship with God through Jesus -- not through religion.

[@denisethompson4861]

Oh right on girl ! Keep these video truths coming. You’ve got it to a tee. Those same women would do it to ones having a study too. Just a few weeks into my study when I was 23, I was told how perfect the brothers and sisters were. and you could ‘confide ‘ and get help from these ‘wonderful, loving ‘ people. And to give up my worldly friends as worldly people were no good etc I told the sister something as I was in a real fix. Another sister asked me to tea at her house and said don’t tell ANYONE your personal business. My naive self said ‘ but that’s what I was shown in the bible on my study and it stays just with your study person in case they can help you spiritually ‘….. She’s said no, just don’t EVER And what you told has been spread around the whole hall. Everyone now knows…everyone.

[@Brandsthatcareproject]

You are 100% correct. I was treated "this way" by a Baptist older woman. I am not Baptist.

[@luna-p]

What a perfect video after being appalled by the comment section in one of your other videos! I'm so glad I never had an interest in being friends with or seeking approval from any of these people. I just wanted to go home to cartoons and art and video games. I would have taken a jail cell and a book over their company.

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

Ex-Mormons also end up mostly as agnostic or atheist. People who leave high demand religions just get burnt out emotionally and it has an effect on spiritual belief.

Great episode as usual. Keep it up. 😊👍🏾.

I loved my elderly sisters. But one day a sister began verbally abusing me over nothing. Perhaps someone told her to do this. Who knows. But it was sad just the same. I used to clean her house for no charge and bring her favourite cookies and candy she loved. All was taken away just because I was not attending the meetings anymore. The relationship is gone now, but I will be ok. Indoctrination and brainwashing...ugh.

I’m a born again believer and follower of Jesus… I met a lot of great people at meetings, but they ultimately thought that they had all the answers and I didn’t like how they had an air of superiority over others who weren’t in “the truth”. It’s sad bcuz there are a lot of people who devote their lives as a JW, but the doctrine is not true. Lots of great people who are serving but are deceived.

[@winstonjohnson455]

Sounds exactly like Herbert W. Armstrong's church, The WorldWide Church of God - "Greetings friends around the world, this is Herbert W. Armstrong with the wonderful news of the world tomorrow."0

[@Griffinmc]

The phrase “born again believer” tells me you are just a member of a different kind of cult. The fact that very few proudly self-professed Christians actually follow the teachings of Christ, most even elevating a monster like Trump to some kind of twisted deity status has put a stain on Christianity that will be with us for many years to come. Putting down JW doesn’t make you the better Christian. There are few “better Christians” these days, that religion having now become a national laughing stock.

[@hwd71]

When I was first born again, I was so legalistic that I must've been insufferable to be around. I lost all my secular friends. Now I've grown in grace and have no friends, I realised that we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, Not by works, lest any man should boast. So, we don't need to stop doing things to be saved, We simply need to trust in Jesus. I hope that puts me in your 2nd camp. Your impressions of the holier than thou ladies was 😂😂😂

Spot on Bethany. Thank you! I also see a large problem with people who decide to hide behind their religious beliefs so as to never need to confront their own actions or behaviours. Which is a shame, because I think that if JC did exist and come to spread enlightenment, that message was all about personal responsibility, not outsourcing one's own personal growth.

While I feel bad for how JWs are treated and what they go through, that is almost like Disneyland when compared with Muslims and the Amish especially. I find that yes, men can be abusive and mistreat women, but women can be many times worse to other women, downright vicious.

[@Griffinmc]

How about we stop making comparisons between religions? Every religion on earth is based on mythology and faith in something that can’t be factually verified. Would that there was no such thing as religion and people could just treat each other decently without all the ridiculous jumbo-jumbo that has resulted in the slaughter of millions through the history of the world.

[@rh3309]

Christianity is definitely the true religion. I have seen way to many supernatural things since being born again. The problem is it is really easy to fall away from. This idea of once saved always saved in a myth. The path of a Christian is very hard and very narrow and there are very few who find it. Most of these people out here representing Christianity are fallen. The same with organized religion. If they don't live there lives like they are directly applying the sermon on the mount it is safe to say they are not christ like.

[@Griffinmc]

I like your reference to the beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount but the reason I don’t identify as a Christian is exemplified in the fact that no Christian denomination including - I suspect - your own has advocated for posting the beatitudes in public places like this movement to get the idiotic Ten Commandments posted. Christianity today in all of its forms is judgmental and political and I’m done with it. By the way “true religion” is a very freighted phrase. Hundreds of other religions make this same claim to the historic detriment of the world.

[@rh3309]

@Griffinmc by true religion I mean explanation for existence. The 10 commandments are not idiotic and they are in perfect harmony with the beatitudes. I am praying this movement you are describing is successful. I will also support any movement to have the sermon on the mount posted publicly as well. What you choose is between you and your creator. I suspect you will feel much differently when you stand before the great white throne of judgement. None of us good. We have all hurt people and hurt ourselves. I wasn't always a believer, in fact I spent most of my life as an athiest/agnostic and I did what I willed. You aren't any better or worse than me, I just recognized my problem and sought out answers until I found the solution which for me was the Christian faith.

[@Griffinmc]

@@rh3309 Thanks for letting me know what color that throne is. It’s exciting to know there are the specially blessed among us that know for certain all the things that humans have struggled and wondered about for centuries. I suppose entitled certitude helps a lot people sleep at night. More power to you in your belief that your belief system is the one that wins the cosmic lottery.

[@rh3309]

@Griffinmc aren't you curious as to how I came to that belief? Do I come off as an unreasonable and irrational person?

[@Griffinmc]

@@rh3309 Nope. You’re just one of the hundreds of people in my life who smugly think they have the answer and the rest of us are just saps wandering in the dark. I’m too old to let this bother me but not too old to explain why it should. Among all the forms of arrogance, religious arrogance is the most frustrating. It’s like insisting you can see colors in the dark.

So the Devil wins... I understand the turn against God, when leaving the organisation, been there, done that. But that's the whole point of false teachers, so you are letting them win, becoming atheist, usually to be intellectually lazy and avoid the inner confusion, or it's just from anger or resentment at the deception you suffered. None of it is God's fault, it is actually him who is setting you free so you may seek him in spirit and truth. Take responsibility for your own faith. Drop the resentment and bitterness towards God. Don't let the Devil win so easily. Jesus is the truth, not a denomination.

[@Griffinmc]

After years of people telling her what to do, I’m sure she really appreciates you doing the same. It’s just a habit you guys can’t break, isn’t it?

[@razortalon9662]

I am not speaking to her specifically, I am talking to all the miserable exjws, who cannot get past the resentment and bitterness at the lies they suffered and partly still believe. I know what I speak of. And if you want to go there, she is clearly making herself miserable and bitter with all the whinging, you have to let it go to move on. So move on pal and use your brain.

[@trilithon108]

Any understanding why there are more women than men in the Org? 😢

[@josephrohland5604]

“Where there is no (Old Covenant) law, sin is not taken into account.” Romans 5:13. This of course means that salvation was only needed by those who had sin taken into account, which was only ancient Israelites cursed with the Old Covenant law of sin and death, which is no one alive today, wannabes).
