For years the Watchtower Magazine and the Awake was sold for 5 cents. I sold many for a nickel. The price went up over the years. Do you know why the Watchtower Society quit selling its magazines and started taking 'donations'. They lost a legal battle. A legal battle where they crawd in bed with of all people Jimmy Swaggart. The society was going to have to start taking up taxes. Look it up. The society would get into bed with Satan if they thought it necessary. Peddlers of lies.
@torrents4u2c I know in my family, any donations at the door for publications, was "not ours" according to mom, we donated that money back to the WTS. So they got paid for publications, twice. At least from us, I don't know how many others did the same.
@Danmera, there is even an article (or articles) in WT publications by the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, one of which is a "Questions from Readers" asking directly whether JW's weren't paying twice for the literature they place. The article denies that idea, then instructs JW's in couched double speak to donate twice- once for the literature when picked up at the counter in the KH, and then the money received from householder for "the worldwide work". It's disgusting and shameless.
Except for using WT jargon in certain cases and a few theologically self-serving editorial decisions, the New World Translation is actually pretty good according to many scholars. Robert M. Price (who has no dog in the argument) says that they did a pretty decent job, even avoiding some of the errors that other translations make. This is not to recommend the WTs research ability or honesty in general.
Just for kicks, I googled, Malawi Mandate vs. Mexican Mordita, WTBTS fornicates with UN, and Rutherford Provokes Hitler and can't find anything that even resembles these stories or cases. Can you produce any of these articles? Just curious
@danyzuk0, there is a book by Ray Franz called Crisis of Conscience which talks about Malawi and Mexico. There are many sites that have documentation showing that the WTBTS was a member of the UN as an NGO for ten years. google rutherford letters hitler and click on jwfacts dot com
In the video there is type which mentions that "the watchtower rep. will now perform...feat of proving scripturally that PEDDLING Watchtower publications...
We JW's believe in the bible and what it says about us, rather than the producer of this video.
2 Corinthians 2:17 is applicable to Jehovah's Witnesses.
It says:"for WE ARE NOT PEDDLERS of the word of God as many men are..."
Peddler (def): A person who goes from place to place selling small goods.
@choctaw48, wrong. @ 6:51 and @ 7:35 we see demonstrated the act of pitching and peddling WT publications, using the Bible as bait, then clearly being switched to a publication offer. Doesn't matter what the Bible says at 2 Cor. What matters is what JW's actually do.
Really? Your best defense is "see! the Bible says we are not peddlers!"
The Theocratic Ministry School is the JW sales training meeting where you folks learn to peddle mags and books. THAT is the reality of the matter.

@sovern009, I'd wager good money it's been that way on down the line with many doctrinal changes, but assuredly with policies and procedures with regard the door-to-door work, and clearly in the case of their members' status as "ordained ministers".
This May Be the Shot that destroyed the Deathstar, belive it or not.

The Chairmen are profiting off of the followers under the guise of DONATIONS just like a "CALL GIRL" but alot easier to expose due to their size....!
So, your saying the ordained ministers of Christendom that teach the trinty, hellfire, and everyone going to heaven, are all correct? I think your being very untruthful, with everyone. Your core purpose is to bring to ruin the WTBTS which has stood up for bible truths against a world of untruths in the religious market. Christendom has change their light numerous times, but you not harping on them. Get a life people, your a bunch of satans bitches, doing his spinning of truths about the WTBTS.
@PublishingCult I listened very carefully, and I think most is spot on, except you critize more than helping one see the difference, between them and the others. Help people see how to recieve the benefits without the peer pressure to get baptised to where they are then locked up.
@radoliz2, JW's claim to BE different. The point is that they ARE NOT. There are no benefits. Anyone can live a clean, moral, purposeful life, and you don't need to be a JW to do it, and it does not need to include peddling WT publications for the rest of their life in ignorance. What a waste of a person's youth. If JW's are going to be so arrogant as to blindly assert they teach the truth, I do not need to show the difference. All I need to do is prove they are not ministers who . . .
promulgate truth. The fact that they have to lie or deny is evidence enough of their intellectual dishonesty and cognitive dissonance, their utter brainwashing. Truth does not co-exist with a lie very successfully. They seem to believe it can. It's absurd.
You obviously have a hard time comprehending the difference between truth and falsehood. First you say I'm being very untruthful, then you say that most everything is spot on. I honestly don't think you should be giving directions to the corner market, let alone directing others about what is or isn't truth, or who has it and who doesn't. Next.
@radoliz2 My friend This has nothing to do with you. These vids are directed at the top brass. If you truly have faith youll allow their god to vindicate them.The Top Brass at that Company ( WTBTS) has an entire LEGAL department that can defend then in the court systems. I wonder if Jesus had a Legal Dept to defend him before Pilot; and if he was offered legal help would he have taken it? Is he not in heaven as a result? The Truth is a double edged sword and if one isnt careful, it may cut you.
k all my comments in one here: lol at revised truth and nathan pointing at the pope, saying 'You Whore!!' ah hitman... i remember hitman, wish he dressed that way in the old games. and lastly i bet the person at 7:40 was gonna open up to psalms 37 verse 11 next. i bet my eternal life in paradise earth on it.
The brother at 0:35 looks like he has some lingering mental issues. I knew so many people who had mental illness in the society. It was actually quite astonishing.
This documentary is well done, but it wouldn't challenge the faith much of a Jehovah Witness, all the topics witch have been brought up are good, but are not important. You should talk more about the Watchtower's false prophecies, change in doctrine, how scholars disagree with the "New Word Translation", and how their doctrine contradicts what is said in the Holy Bible (even their own translation)
Every other YT video discussing the items u listed are hit hard by JW trolls arguing this point and denying that fact. It gets ugly because JW trolls on this site are counting on nobody actually doing any fact checking. Although I approve all comments before they are posted, I can truthfully say that only ONE JW troll, Jwincnt or whatever, tried on the second vid to deny aspects of the information, and his comments are still there. He shut up and went away when I posted the third video.
My point? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. While these vids are not necessarily for JW’s, they can serve as a mirror held up to their faces, if nothing else. The real truth is a scary thing for them. These vids are produced with non-JW’s and newly interested people in mind. You don’t have to cover the details of false doctrine and erroneously translated Bible passages when all you need to do is show how dishonest JW’s are. Thanks for watching.
@GrotesqueKevin "You should talk more about the Watchtower's false prophecies, change in doctrine,.."
That is a double negative. People with any modicum of savvy will know false doctrinal aspects of Jehovism for to look it up in the 1st place, && search it on YT et'c.
Why don't you make a video on "...talk more about..." ? Don't be taking the piss out of PC. 'You want the man to juggle while video editing and putting editorial to the accompanying description text as well.?
Looking forward to part 5! I loooove seeing them stutter while trying to remember that ready-made answer. Also nice Kingdom Songs covers. Big up for the Dresden Dolls!
The NWT isn't a lot different from other translations. In fact everyone is encouraged to study any and all Bible translations because the organization isn't afraid of you seeing a different one. We can go into why that is, but the point is that the NWT is a technically sound translation compared to the others. It's not like the Book of Mormon or something.
The King James has many errors. But the Watchtower's real problem is in interpretation concerning things like blood and sexual activity.
@Bibl3Thumper, yes, that segment in the video sort of lays the foundation for the next video in this series; a presentation dealing with the whole "free" literature vs "voluntary contributions" scheme employed by the the WTBTS. We also look forward to showing viewers how these so-called "ordained ministers" will lie about their mandate to rely solely on WT publications when teaching others about the Bible.
what I notice when JW's are asked a direct question they always seem to hesitate...and try to think of an answer that you would like to hear....they are taught to tell half truths.... the attitude don't give them more than they ask for.....
The Circuit Overseers and District overseers are the paid Clergy! The majority of Clergy in other religions don't get the adoration that the COs and DOs get. This is due to the hierachial system within this Cult. I wish someone would go to a circuit assembly and video the never ending line of witnesses trying to shake the CO or DO's hand. (ps) the School Guide book is replaced with the Benefit book.
@PrintedTruth "(ps) the School Guide book is replaced with the Benefit book."
Yes, it has been. Both publications, TMSGB and the Benefit book have "ministry school" in the title. Any JW knows this. They also know that the weekly meeting they attend is called "the Ministry School". I personally found it shocking and amusing that these "promulgators of truth" emphatically denied or blatantly LIED about any connection or reference to being any kind of minister whatsoever.
@PublishingCult I would love to see someone interview witnesses and ask them if they ever take part in shunning. We all do. We have to shun any DFed person in the hall. We teach our children to shun as well. So when they grow up we have to watch ourselves or they will shun us. I think teaching children to shun and telling them that billions of people deserve to die is child abuse.
@archeng123, I can get on board with the idea that JW's believe they have the truth. What becomes disconcerting, however, is how they blatantly lie when asked simple direct questions. Such behavior sort of negates their assertion of having and promulgating truth. When held up to their own standards, both the WTBTS and JW's fall short and are no more righteous than the "Satanic ministers" of Christendom they so dogmatically denounce as false.
@PublishingCult ~ However, it is okay for them to plead how they are human thus are permitted to error and not call themselves "worldly", that which they call all other "beings" outside of their faith...
@inspirediam, lol, exactly. When non-JW ministers promulgate falsehoods, they are Satanic. When the WTBTS and JW's promulgate falsehoods, they have simply "fallen short due to imperfection". It's time JW's consider the idea that instead of blindly following whatever the GB says, openly question and debate the teachings of the GB if for no other reason and justification than the fact that the GB DOES OFTEN FALL SHORT DUE TO IMPERFECTION and has to revise its version of truth time and again.
@inspirediam Hear Hear to 'Inspired I Am' as well.
"Hear, Hear" shortened form for "Hear him, hear him".
DYK that in the UK parliament in London - the house of commons (green leather seats), politicians are not allowed to clap their hands.? They slap their schedule papers on their lap instead. "Hear, Hear". Same for the house of lords in London. (red leather seats)
@PublishingCult I believed it was the truth when I preached it. I didn't ever knowingly lie, I repeated the programmed responses I had been spoonfed by the organization that terrified me into believing that independent thinking was dangerous and that to question them was to question God himself. Pretty powerful stuff. Yes, the WT are lying, but the rank and file are brainwashed, and it is very very hard to shake that off. I only woke up when I quit going to meetings, a break from brainwashing.
@zeldagoblin, yes, and one of the purposes of this presentation is show how JW's are programmed to answer with deception without even thinking about it. I think some of the material does that adequately. I never realized how I, too, was programmed to do this until, like yourself, I got away from the programming for a while. I wish somebody would have put a mirror up to my face when I was younger.
@PublishingCult You know what though, I never really felt comfortable saying it. It was as if I didn't quite buy it myself and yet I had to convince other people it was true. I got very unsettled when someone did use reasoning with me, the JW I was with at the time said it was Satan's way of confusing us and undermining our faith. Guess she was programmed as much as I was.
@nibornagrom, the producers of this video are not agreeing that Christendom's ministers are Satanic. They are simply pointing out the WTBTS resorts to ad hominem attacks on other Christen ministers calling them Satanic. If Christendom's ministers are Satanic, then Watchtower ministers must be righteous. Intellectual dishonesty.
"Major modern" does not refer to its scholarly accuracy, but to the number of copies printed and distributed, and says nothing about the WTBTS's interpretation of Bible passages for the purposes of giving weight to their ever changing doctrines of supposed "truth".
If Christendom's ministers are Satanic, therefore liars, should we trust what the Catholic Encyclopedia has to say regarding the NWT? There are quite enough proven errors in the NWT.
It's quite amusing how, historically, and in modern times, the WTBTS has blasted the Catholic Church for being Satanic, an organization of lies and false ministers, but gladly brags and cites the Catholic Encyclopedia whenever what it has to say supports their own lies and Satanic teachings.
@poconoporker, what nibornagrom said was, "I am glad you agree that Christendom's ministers are Satanic". Then he copied and pasted a couple of edits from Wikipedia that validated the NWT as scholarly and accurate.

I think some of the material does that adequately. I never realized how I, too, was programmed to do this until, like yourself, I got away from the programming for a while. I wish somebody would have put a mirror up to my face when I was younger.

@PublishingCult You know what though, I never really felt comfortable saying it. It was as if I didn't quite buy it myself and yet I had to convince other people it was true. I got very unsettled when someone did use reasoning with me, the JW I was with at the time said it was Satan's way of confusing us and undermining our faith. Guess she was programmed as much as I was.

@nibornagrom, the producers of this video are not agreeing that Christendom's ministers are Satanic. They are simply pointing out the WTBTS resorts to ad hominem attacks on other Christen ministers calling them Satanic. If Christendom's ministers are Satanic, then Watchtower ministers must be righteous. Intellectual dishonesty.

"Major modern" does not refer to its scholarly accuracy, but to the number of copies printed and distributed, and says nothing about the WTBTS's interpretation of Bible passages for the purposes of giving weight to their ever changing doctrines of supposed "truth".
If Christendom's ministers are Satanic, therefore liars, should we trust what the Catholic Encyclopedia has to say regarding the NWT? There are quite enough proven errors in the NWT.

It's quite amusing how, historically, and in modern times, the WTBTS has blasted the Catholic Church for being Satanic, an organization of lies and false ministers, but gladly brags and cites the Catholic Encyclopedia whenever what it has to say supports their own lies and Satanic teachings.

@PublishingCult
This nibornagrom always comments stupid stuff and then deletes them. Do you have the original post? If yes, I suggest you re-post it.

@poconoporker, I do not have the original post.

@poconoporker, what nibornagrom said was, "I am glad you agree that Christendom's ministers are Satanic". Then he copied and pasted a couple of edits from Wikipedia that validated the NWT as scholarly and accurate.
