by Rattigan350 inhttps://www.c21media.net/news/vice-doc-spotlights-jehovahs-witnesses/.
us cable network vice tv will debut an original documentary that claims to uncover corruption and abuse within the jehovah’s witnesses community.. vice versa: crusaders, which will air on july 28, is part of the channel’s vice versa brand, known for docs including fear of a black quarterback and the neglected pandemic.. the project comes from hollywood director aaron kaufman, who was shunned by his jehovah’s witness family after investigating paedophilia within the organisation.. crusaders is directed by kaufman and executive produced by lauren terp, as well as daniel levinson and robert fernandez for us-london prodco moxie pictures, and danny gabai and andrew freston for vice studios.
executive producing for vice tv is catherine whyte.. kaufman said: “after witnessing first-hand the cycle of abuse that runs deep within the jehovah’s witnesses, i could not rest until the dark truth of this organisation was brought to light.

David Splane's apostate warning convention talk
by neat blue dog ini know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.
splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.
for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

The Light Actually IS Getting Brighter
by Magnum inthe light really is getting brighter, but what kind?
i can think of three types of figurative light in this context:.
1) that which jws refer to and they base on pr 4:18. light on a path... light that gets brighter.

"Before the internet, JWs could, in effect, operate in darkness... Then came the great bright light of the internet...The internet has seriously wounded JWdom. It has shone a great light on it that is getting brighter as more and more the failures, flaws, deceptions, weakness, etc. are seen in greater detail with the increasing light. Yes, in the last two decades or so, the light that shines on JWdom (primarily due to the internet) has become brighter and brighter.
If JWs were what they claim to be, they would love the exposure. They would love for something like the internet to come along and shine a great light on them so people can see what they really are, but they hate the exposure. Thus, there's no way they can be what they claim to be. They aren't lovers of light; they're lovers of darkness."Good point Magnum...the WT's longtime 'New Light' song and dance routine is history!

Promise Not to Make Appeals for Money
by Sea Breeze in"when he who says: ‘all the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the [watchtower] publication.” consistent with that, there is no begging for money in the literature of jehovah’s witnesses.. what is true of their literature is also true of their meetings.
there are no emotional appeals for funds in their congregations or at their conventions.

Can you think of any instances where the WT has made "appeals" for money?
Yes...a few years back I understand that in numerous circuits, forms like this one were given to all family heads as a plea for money:

Anyone get the feeling that the cult is really in trouble.
by mickbobcat inso all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.
shrinking member, selling halls.
the move to televangelism is really strange to me.

Anyone Get The Feeling That The Cult Is Really In Trouble?
It's one thing if you visit the different English speaking online chat rooms & forums...like this forum, exjw redditt & others including the ton of English exJW Youtube channels...it's quite another thing to see how much disgust there is in the Spanish JW community toward this cult.
I recently visited Ex Testigos De Jehova Testimonios (Ex Jehovah's Witnesses Testimonials) and was blown away at the amount of traffic these Spanish exjw channels are getting. There are some ExJW Spanish Channels getting hundreds of thousands of visits and others getting millions of visits with thousands (1,000s) of comments and others with tens of thousands (10,000s) of comments.
You don't know the amount of flack and grief WT is getting from within its ranks until you get outside your comfort zone and visit some of these foreign EXJW communities!
So Yah...this cult is in a world of trouble...Yay!

KH's Still All Closed- How Bad is WT doing Financially?
by OnTheWayOut inmost churches are back to in-person worship.
not jehovah's witnesses.
is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

Kingdom Halls...Still All Closed...How Bad is WT Doing..
Last official word from WT was Kingdom Halls might start opening-up August 2021. The rapid increase of new cases of Delta Variant Covid19 could be a game changer. WT recently mentioned covid related deaths are now 19,000 & rising and stressed the health and safety of rank and file was main concern.
Doctors offices, restaurants, entertainment facilities, churches and businesses in general are pretty much back to normal with some safety precautionary in place but JWs are still in their 'Bunker' type mindset!

Leaked David Spane Apostate Rant? (Upcoming Lloyd Evans Video)
by Jofi_Wofo inlloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.
does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.
i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..

A good part of the U.S. is in what is termed 'Wild Fire Season'.
GB member Splane's Saturaday afternoon 2021 Faith Convention talk will make many a JW wonder if their organization isn't dealing with their own Wild Fire...one of their own making!
By the way Splane develops his talk and by the things he divulges...it pretty much such sounds like WT has zero containment of this onslaught of heat coming from victims of child abuse, PIMO members, exJW activists, YouTubers, T.V. documentaries and lawsuits in general.
Yes WT...the heat is on and for many of us...it's a pleasure to watch you burn!

I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.
by pistolpete inso in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.
he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.
he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

Holy Shit...what a senseless diatribe on the part of GB Splane toward persons, groups and institutions attempting to condemn and bring to justice his empire of false religion!
I doubt that WT Broadcasting has much of an Editing Department...cause if they did they would have edited-out & eliminated at least half if not most of what Splane rant and raved about. According to Splane, WT admittedly has paid out 10s if not 100s of millions in out of court settlements with no apparent end of these cases in sight. Splane further hints about the enormous onslaught of individuals and their YouTube channels and television documentaries venting their anger against this cullt. His tirade just goes on and on and on.
On second thought...maybe WT Broadcasting does have a decent Editing Department. Their reasoning for allowing Splane's convention talk could be along the lines of: 'Oh hell...we're in deep shit already...what more harm can his talk cause"!
Apparently Splane gives his talk at the end of Saturday's session entitled "Put Up A Hard Fight For The Faith". In my most humble opinion a more fitting title would be: "Friends...There's Too Much Smoke For There Not To Be A Fire"!
