we are having difficulties with reports over jw violence in this area.
obviously trans reassignments and others use girls clothes even for medical
reasons at times. which I can verify. im hearing reports of ridding the
world of the evil of gays . can we confirm this please somewhere ? I have
experienced trans attacks in these areas with other sexual violence
involved with others with them. obviously I refuse to hurt anyone or allow
it where im responsible. if the reports are true it was carried out
basically. that's called aggression destroying their claims of god or jesus
etc. it may also be related too what they have to ay about it, do we have a
choice or do they get violent again is something that occurs to me. I have
no complaitn with others. you know decent cclean sort of stuff, its not my
problem. if it is the case they have taken that stance can we increase the
alert status everywhere please ? honestly ive no understanding of
contravening another human, in what they think say or do
but if it hurts or maims others, in violence or aggression. I wasnt
impressed.
What's voiced here is watertight accurate. For decades i heard/ saw it &
was directly told to dress & groom a certain way. (A fucking cheek since i
was one of the very few who actually worked. A responsible important type
job at that) I was told not to have a beard, i was told my office overcoat
had a damp smell, & when i pointed out that the person a row behind in the
hall stank of cigarettes they arrogantly shot back 'That's because his dad
smokes'. They hack on who they want to, for control.
WE belive that when we dress, we can reflect the world..or reflect respect
for God and his principles and standards. Most people who respect the law
will dress in a suit or tie..or a dress that is acceptable..that is
standing before men who have the power of locking you up or not...but, when
we are before Jehovah...we dress our best to reflect respect..simple as
that! We do not view our relationship with God as casual...we do not have
'strict' rules of dress...but simply reasonableness.
Just a friendly correction on the JW "dress code": In the USA -
specifically on Native American (Indian) reservations - J's W brothers do
NOT wear suits, ties, or white shirts; rather they wear neat, comfortable
pants and casual shirts. And in rural Alaska, the brothers wear flannel
shirts and sturdy jeans, without ties. Also, in most rural areas of Africa,
both brothers and sisters often wear the colorful cotton robe-like clothing
so common with the native inhabitants.
You should make a video about the double standard of JW's view of
"modesty." For example, women are practically demonized by wearing short
skirts and yet I've seen plenty of shaven-headed men take the platform
looking like their favorite sports stars. Also, in all their harmful
publications, women are targeted as the primary examples in
clothing-related matters, as if they are biologically closer to being
"stumbled" concerning attire.
Just an honest question again Alf seeing as you deleted my previous posts,
what is wrong exactly with having a dress code when they are on the
ministry?, I am not a Witness but I have the utmost respect for them as
people. I find it difficult to believe anyone would criticise a religion
because they don't do the door to door calling in jeans and tutu's.
There you go, you have hit the nail right on the head, "Jehovah wittness
has a right to dress as they please", No they do not, they are told what
they can and can not wear. That is the amount of power and control that the
WTBTS has over the JW rank & file.
Exactly. When I was in the Florida Keys, a family from the Netherlands were
camping and decided to go to the Hall. Blue jeans and all. No one
complained and we got to meet some nice people. It was probably on a whim,
but nobody had a hemorrhage over it.
Yes you are very right there, the WTBTS dress code does "change" depending
geographical location, but with that said, no matter where the JW's are in
the world there is/will be a dress code relevant to that area and/or
country.
Awwww shuks, you made me go all red now lol. We all have to do what ever we
can to help them out of this man made lie that is the WTBTS CULT.... If we
just keep on fighting we will get there in the end....
This is so silly just because a set of people want to dress nice. You
could learn a thing or 2 about dress. Take a leaf out of their book and
tidy up. No one forces anyone its just common sense.

How To Make Your Own Jurassic World Velociraptor! - Homemade How-to!
Do you want to terrify your friends and neighbors? Do you want your very own velociraptor motorcycle gang, like the one Chris Pratt has in Jurassic World?
Wish I could post a photo. My kids made it for Halloween. One dressed as
Owen Grady and the one in the raptor costume went as Blue. Great
tutorial. If you are making this, ensure you add some reinforcement to the
hula hoop frame.
+lonewerewolf neonbluemoon yes, there are large raptors, but all raptors had feathers. plus, the 8 ft tall raptors were utahraptors, not velociraptors.
+impalabeeper if you put more time and money into this you can make it more realistic/better looking. they just did this in a short time frame for very cheap.
I just bought a shit load of trash bags and somehow all of the leaves got

remember watching this video and then my yard was cleaned up.
+TheDoctorPlays MC That may be, but that was only 1 raptor. They had to make the other 3 which would've cost then a good $200. They still had to make the other stuff like the mososaur and all the toys they bought and everything.

Is it a Sin for Women to Wear Pants & Should Women Wear Head Scarves?
Is it a sin for women to wear pants? Some claim this is crossdressing and women should only wear dresses, based on Deuteronomy 22:5. Should Christian ...
well I am a christan but it just saddens me that we can't wear what we want
without someone judging ore starring. i dress however what I want (ofc with
style and manner) but I dress how I want because I think God created us so
uniqe and also in a way that we can decorate our body's how ever we want
(ofc with style and manner). me and my mom where in church in Norway and
its called Oslo kristne center. They have bikers who are called holy
riders. they have tattoos and piercings and coloured hair and leather
jackets with spikes and so on. the priest said that he think it's awesome
when ever he sees a kid wearing what ever clothing he/she wants. because
you are decorating the body God gave you. it dosent mean that you are
unhappy with the way you look. but I think it's a subject that can be
discussed in hours ore even days.
but If you ever see this i will just say thank you for your great videos. I
get really inspired and it really makes me think. even some of the videos
you have made in the past about occult musicians, it really makes sence.
but we shall not be afraid. God is protecting us from all evil
it's not only something I feel :). i wrote with style and manner and that means that I decorate myself to look more uniqe because that's how God created me.
I prefer to wear Men's pants to school simply because I think they're more
comfortable and better suited for a long day. To social events, I wear
women's pants. Does this make me a cross dresser?
I had my mum direct me to some passages that seem to say otherwise. Care to explain? Romans 14:14"I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean."1 Timothy 4:3-5 ESV "Who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer."Matthew 15:11 It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.”
You are wrong! Since the Women's lib. movement of the 1960's, women started
wearing pants. And since that time, there has been more break up of
families, and the roles of the man and of the woman is blurred. This is
against God's laws of the bible. It has created lots and lots of problems.
Before this women knew their role of wife and mother and to stay at home,
the man went to work to provide for the family. This is God's order. Women
are to be submissive to their husbands, but now they think they are on the
same level or higher than their husbands. This is not the structure that
God made for man and woman. It's old fashioned but it works, because God
made it so. A woman in pants IS A VERY BIG SIN! REPENT people, pastors,
men, and women that are teaching otherwise!
It was a cultural issue for the Corinthians? So just some parts are for
Corinthians and some parts are for everybody? Really? Isn't this cherry
picky? And how is that you assume it was just for them and not for us?
According to what historical document?
+FernandoP1 - Art Zone Productions no u dont understand im agree with you! im asking the question to the one who said that nonsense thing that the veil is the religion of the corinthiens only.

Aaron Parker recently awakened to TTATT, 12 years after his escape. His story has some interesting highlights, including: • Being physically kidnapped and ...
Ok. I've been needing someone to talk to about a great many things. I'm a
former JW. Quietly walked away in 2010. My anger for that religion, what it
did to me and my stepchildren psychologically is very different and
considerably less 1 plus 2 is 3 than most stories.
In no way am I negating their pain. But imagine being a stepfather to
beautiful twin boys who are young teenagers who refused to leave me when
their devout JW mother did?
What was I to do? As much as they recognised me as dad, I knew I wasn't and
that my estranged wife was indeed their mother. So, even after it was
obvious that I'd silently left the organization, citing many issues as have
been raised in these videos, I knew that these weren't really my kids.
So, at the time, I felt it honorable to keep raising those boys in the JW
religion despite my complete confusion about their authenticity. But in
respect for their mother. Whether that was the right call or not? What's
done is done.
Long story short, one stepson walked away very quickly and has his life
sorted with a family, money, good job and a love for his children. So
that's great. Maybe?
The other one stuck with the religion, got baptized, has a small family and
he hasn't spoken to me in about 3 years. He claims cuz I'm all these
horrible things but I deduce it's cuz I walked away from "Jehovah". Cuz the
timing is impeccable: I announce peaceably that I will not be returning to
a manmade religion, and immediately the defiant stepson states "we'll be
here when you get back". Where I advised him that it doesn't work like
that.
But what do I know, right? Only having successfully raised him to adulthood
and taught him how to be in control of his own life on every level.
Well, just a few weeks ago, it got complicated. The good son advised me
that the one who stuck with JW recently got disfellowshipped over alcohol
dependency.
And now I'm in dad mode again cuz I know full well what that can do to a
person. Especially my son who married in "The Truth", has a child and as we
all know: stands to lose a lot.
Thanks for sharing your story and feelings. It made me so sad to read your story. I'm so sorry for you and your family.My family is also divided because of this religion. I don't have a relationship with my biological father, stepmother (their decision) and my sister and brother (who are underage, so they obey). I faded away in 2010 because I didn't want to be told by anyone how to live my life. I left thinking that they probably were God's channel. During these years I became agnostic but I didn't know about any of their hypocrisy and false prophecy until a month ago. I shared what I found with my mother (also a JW, but fading away) and my step dad (who studied the bible and has gone to almost all their meetings but didn't want to be baptized) and they accepted the facts easily. What pushed me to reply to you is the fact that you love those men and consider them your sons. That moves me so much because my stepfather is who I consider my father. He considers me his daughter and his love has never been conditional. He's also an amazing man. Completely honest, decent, generous and loving. I know that no matter what I do, I'll always have his love and support. It's obvious that you are that kind of man too, and I wish you the best. I hope you have your relationship with your other son back soon.
That was a FUN interview!!
Great job as always, Eric =)
Hey Aaron, your dad sounds COOL, bro!!
...and I LOVE seeing people succeed, so good for you, man, I'm happy for ya
buddy!
Hi there Eric. Sorry, gonna be quite a long comment.
found your videos a few months ago, and i've finally decided to take the
risk and comment.
19 year old guy, was super sheltered all my life, Basically got my first
job this year, can't really move out, and my folks are making me go in
field service. and i MUST KNOW how you survive undercover. it feels like a
complete shame walk. having to bend your will to the congregation, having
to pass around this literature you know is false, basically having to
forfeit your standards just to stay in good standing. my parents know i'm
doubting, when we've argued i've been called things such as "Fault finder",
"Negative", they /sorta/ called me an apostate once, and i get the feeling
as they see me drudge along in field service, with a face like a kicked
puppy, (i have NO poker face, i cannot hide my feelings or intentions)
we're gonna have to have "That" talk. how do i deal with this? i've got my
non-apostate sources and evidence lined up but how should i go about this?
in any case, i love everything you and others have done in acting as
support for ex, and current doubting witnesses. i hope i can get on here
and make my own videos someday.
+Sunset Jack I understand what your going though, I never found an easy way to go to meeting's and out in field service and keep that smile on my face, so i saved up some money and got my own place and tried to fade, that is the best thing i can think of, you are more than welcome to contact me on facebook if you would ever like to talk to someone about all this "crap" you are not alone out here we are here to help! facebook: Aaron Parker
+Sunset Jack Hey Eric sorry for my long comment but I understand yur struggle. I am going through some what the same with my living situation. I just turned 19 in Feb. & got my first job the end of last year. I found out TTATT by my sister about 5 years ago before she went off to the army. I had to go out in services & to the meetings & was really depressed until i had my daughter last year & got stepped down from being a unbaptized publisher THANK GOD! Now having to live with my parents who know i dont care about the BS i still have to go to the meeting which i hate because it feels like everytime i go im stepping on egg shells. Last month I had an absolute break down anxiety attack because i felt like i was stuck because im trying to go to work & take care of my daughter by myself & have to take lip lash from my parents on a weekly bases & go to the hall & sit there for 2hours like everything is perfect. My advice for you since your young take a sec & think about what you want in life & plan & map it out. You know that watchtower isnt the truth so dont waste your life. Idk where you live at but if there are plants around yu like bmw granger michelin etc. work there for good benifits if yu want to go to school Go To School. Move out. Live your life how yu want to making wise choices. Your 19 yu hold all yur card now its up to yu to figure out what to do with them. Until yu get can get out of there on yur feet yu just have to be on the low. I hope this helps you. Hang in there! ☺☺
I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this, as so many of us have. I myself had to deal with name calling, backbiting, and even being treated as my husbands child all because I was asking to many questions and being honest about what I felt. Leaving or even thinking of leaving, due to your conscience and discernment of bible scriptures, is a painful journey of denial, and anger with waves of guilt and fear due to this corporation. All I can tell you is this, whatever choice you make, make sure its your choice. If you are still spiritual, pray. Do your homework in and out of the hall. Decide who are your real friends. Ask yourself if you should give them any power over you and your decisions. Are you willing to be shunned in standing up for what you believe is wrong? Are you OK with staying and able to ignore the deception and be complacent? The choice is yours, and no true and loving friend, family member or ex witnesses here or anywhere should judge or condemn you for it. My journey was hard, as so many are, but for me I can say; With each new day I smile a little easier, laugh a little harder, and love with greater awareness and ease. Hang in there, hun. Hugs, prayers and love. :)
Its going to take a lot of strength and a plan! I'll pray that your families eyes and hearts are opened..contact me anytime to talk anonymously Sunset Jack!
Also, my ONLY regret is that I wasn't aware of the complete falsehood of the JW teachings when I left 20 yrs. Ago. When I left, it was because I felt guilty about sinning and didn't want to be a hypocrite...and I was sick of the drudgery. I only wish I was fully awake to the evil that fuels this re LIE gion 20 yrs ago. Other than that, I'm glad I got out when I did and I'm FINALLY aware of the fact that despite losing ...my immediate JW family, I escaped 20 more yrs of insanity and a completely wasted life. I still have a chance to move on and fulfill my potential....just like you do...you are young and your whole life is just waiting for you to live it.
If you CANNOT possibly live with your family shunning you (as I do and have since I was 21 for past 20 yrs, and no, the pain does not go away...it does get a little easier though), then buck up kid and commit to a life of false servitude, guilt, anger, misery and unfulfilled wholesome dreams! All I can say is I don't envy your situation and that life is too short, one door closes and a window opens blah, blah, blah. I no longer wish to deal with my immediate JW family at this point in my life. ..their brains are mush from 100+ yrs combined from indoctrination and mind control, they are judgmental, argumentative, and in denial...no fun whatsoever. Either way, there is a VAST ex JW community with similar backgrounds that are here for you with open, non judging arms. Good luck!
That type of aggressive elders Aaron talked about that knocked on your door
at all hours and hunting you down was the norm in my area. I'm coming to
believe that every area of JWs is a little different then the next.
Fantastic interview. Thank you Aaron Parker, thank you.
I can relate to the aggressiveness. When I left, my "fade" was kind of sudden. My elders started by emailing me (since I was smart enough to change my phone number). When they didn't get the response they felt they were entitled to, they google searched me, found out where I worked, and called my job every afternoon. I finally told them by email that I was fine and wanted to talk to local elders (not them) about my situation. They continued to call my job several times a week until I told them to stop. It was horrible and embarrassing. The harassment finally stopped when I wrote my disassociation letter. I'm so glad I'm out of that cult smh.
Ditto! Short story: I was raised a JW. Baptized at 14. Auxiliary pioneered, conducted bible studies etc. Disfellowshiped at 19...reinstated at 20..sick of EVERYTHING JW by 21 and stopped attending meetings, field service etc. I became a licensed nurse. My first job was a 12 hour, overnight private duty patient 8 pm to 8 am shift. One morning around 9:30 I'm sleeping (had black blinds to reduce daytime sunlight to create a nightime atmosphere for rest). I get a knock on my door and it's two elders. They come inside uninvited and complain about how dark my room was (had small open apartment) and they ACTUALLY open my blinds, make themselves comfortable, ask for coffee and proceed to drill me on my lack of meeting attendance! I was floored! That could never happen today! I would've ignored the knock from the crazy stalking, slightly perverted elders in my hall! I think overall they are ALL under mind control and are INSANE!
