I was raised in this religion and I always felt something was wrong with what they teach so glad to see that I'm not alone..

thank you for your video. Im 41 and I left home at 14 and lived on the streets. My life has been nothing but struggles, and poverty. I hope this video will help others to see the light.

My wife's mother is a Jehovah false Witness, and she hasn't talked to her in years. This cult destroys families.

Please never take this down im going to watch over a few times awsome job !!

My second roommate in my early 20's was a JW. He was one of the coolest guys I'd ever known. While I knew him, he was in ex-communication because an ex-girlfriend of his went to his church and told them they had premarital sex. His own family wasn't allowed to talk to him. He continued to go to "meetings" where nobody was allowed to talk to him in hopes that he would eventually be brought back into the fold. I can't imagine being in his shoes. We were both firefighters, and he stayed a night on my shift at the fire station. That night, he wasn't able to help me lower and fold the flag. He told me he wasn't of this world and forbidden to take part in the nightly flag-folding. I couldn't understand how someone so level-headed and cool could be so brainwashed, but human emotion is a powerful thing. When you're brought up believing only darkness waits for you upon death if you don't believe in "insert faith here", the grief is huge. I know this as a recovered ex-evangelical christian. Fast forward to this last Saturday. I was coming home with parts to build a new computer and I could see men in suits and a well-dressed woman pushing a stroller with an older daughter in-tow going door to door in my neighborhood. As I started putting the thing together, the lady and her daughter approached me in my garage. Rather than introducing herself, she had her daughter give an obviously scripted spiel to me about sharing the good news. The little girl asked if she could leave me with a pamphlet describing the good news and I responded with "no thank you". The mother let out a little guffaw. It was as though I was completely unreasonable to deny the request of a little girl. Brainwashing works for them. I guess she thought it might work on me too. Oops! No, I don't feel guilty. I hope it all works out for them.

when I was an active JW the one I was raised in, I truly tried to believe and live the way I "should", mostly out of fear and rejection. I now live a good life free of pressure, critical thinking, and fear. I am so glad I left before I had children. Because a little poison is too much, the religion is full of false teachings and ways, NO EXCUSES for "oh they are just imperfect, people need to wake up

This information has always been out there for the person who takes the time to research it. You have highlighted the main points without actual mind conclusions. An “ honest hearted” person could and should fill in the blanks and leave the Watchtower in a split second!! Thanks for all the work it took to compile this important information!!

having been "cast out" as disfellowshipped nearly 20 years ago, i found this vid entertaining, especially the events since my departure. Thank you.

As a person raised in "the truth", I thank you for making this video. I grew up as one but never could force myself to believe their doctrine. It just always felt wrong. God (Jesus) always had great plans for me & would not allow me to fall prey to their deception. I am happy to say that after escaping them & living 12 years as a witchcraft practicing homosexual (in rebellion to them I suppose), I finally got my head on straight & have come to the TRUE realization of Jesus Christ! I have been saved the way the Bible requires for over four years & called by God to become a missionary to Africa. This world needs more people unafraid to speak out for truth! God bless you for this & I pray the Lord refresh your spirit for any backlash you may receive!

as a 53 yr old- i feel like my entire life was built on a f*ck’n lie! to tear up families, friendships over what???? This is unreal. To think close family members are still tied up in the bullsh*t. Never been so frustrated, confused, angry, disappointed- no words

The only barrier to GETTING the truth is the belief that you already HAVE IT!

This is a great video! It just breaks my heart that my brother has been trapped in the cult since the 1960's and still clings to it as the "truth". I am a Christian and I know the Lord can do anything so I am in constant prayer for my brother to come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for making this video and I am taking notes on it. I haven't seen a better history of J.W. and how it came about.

Talking to JW's is so frustrating because they THINK they know it all when they really don't know much at all. It's spiritual arrogance at it's purest. They are told they are special and that they know something everybody else doesn't. Sometimes I think it would be better to just let them rot in their mind-control darkness.

Thank you for this fascinating video!! It just came into my YT feed today, 1/8/2024! I knew some of this info, but also learned a lot! I hope to see more of your interesting, factual videos. You will help many people with this vital truth about the “Truth” JW’s. May God bless you! ❤️

I'm an ex-witness and I didn't know about the beginning of the religion. I was taught it was Charles T Russell who was the co-founder and started the religion. All the other things mentioned here are true. JWs are taught to put the organization before even their own family. I have seen families torn apart because of this rule. There is a high number of people suffering from depression, especially women. Women do not have a voice in this religion. The leaders use scare tactics to control members. For example: if you speak or question the teachings or rules of the organization you are an apostate and it's unforgivable sin against God. This was one of their many tactics to frighten members. When I started dropping out, I was harassed and made to feel like I was an unfit mother. I was told I was a bad mother for becoming inactive. When I tried to tell one of the elders what this elder had said, he right away dismissed me, claiming no one from his congregation would say such a thing. I told him he was wrong. He didn't ask for the name and he ended the conversation right then and I never saw him again. The elder stopped comings. At least something good came from that. They stopped harassing me.

Most comprehensive hello moment for all Jehovah's Witnesses.

Very good, as a former pioneer it is so sad that for over 40 years the Watchtower taught that 1799 was the start of the end and how each generation of witnesses kept there eyes on the prize and the prize never came. Billions of people who were very good people wasted their entire life preaching from door to door. I was one of them and hope this will help to stop others in the future.

Thank you for this information. I was a teenager when my sister who is now a Jehovah witness when pushed me into this horrible so called religion. By the grace of God I left this organization at the age of 16 years old. These people are brain washed. I praise The Lord, JesusChist who set me free from this erroneous religion. I am free to serve The Lord Jesus with The Father God through The Holy Spirit. Yes I believe in The Trinity. Amen 🙏..

Thank you for this video. My father recently passed and my family is having issues dealing with his funeral because of the wife who is a JW. This video pretty much gave me a good idea about her beliefs and her contradictions.

great video! I was raised as a JW and this was a great reminder of why i left!!

Thanks to this cult I became an Atheist, and Scientist. I also lost all my friends, family and even my house! However, I am stronger and commend the publishing of this and any other material that highlights how shallow and faulty this cult is. Thank you for sharing.

This has been important and informative. Completely factual. Carefully compiled for anyone to learn. Thanks for putting all this work together!

This is one of my favorites!! Here it goes again for the benefit of the newly disassociated!

There should be a part 2 to this video. It's excellent. While not needing to go into the detail of every little scandal or false teaching, it does get the major highlights almost perfectly. Excellent video.

The awesome music at the end really helped me to read all the articles. Thanks a mil, was very thorough, and extremely helpful in finding truth.

After having some JW's at my door (and expecting their return), I wanted to do some research on them. This is a wonderful piece, so brilliantly presented. It appears to be simply factual and shows no bias. An outstanding piece of work.

Holy Crap!! Wow you sure know your material. I was raised a Witness and left in the early 90's and hated being a jw but now in my late 40's I'm just learning about all this crazy stuff. My goodness kudos to you for researching all the info...I don't know you found all this info but it's great so Thank YOU!!! I'm just so...shocked and well....damn...what can you say when you leave and then later find out it was a bunch of hogwash. Great Video and keep on making videos! Thumbs Up!!! A+++ and Shared.

Excellent video. It gives a good overall background of this cult without exageration.

This is an excellent factual video filled with TRUTH!

This is a fabulous documentary!! Great work! Would love to see more!

Just found this channel wow im shocked thankyou somuch for postingthis so important to get this information out trying to get out of this religion !been in thisreligion for over30 years !

Very well done I especially appreciate how you cataloged your sources sited at the end keep up the good work thank you

Thescrewgeneration; Thank you very much for this great information!!!!!!!!! I used to be a Jehovah's Witness for 16 years. I left the organization without having this wonderful information. The years I served to the Watch Tower was a total waste of time. Things did not make any sense to me back then. I went to a Jehovah's Witness convention were they announced that the former JW Franz, part of the government body was expelled from the organization. Also they advised us not to read any publication coming from him or any other source. They said to read and to listen only to the literature coming from the Watch Tower. That really called my attention and I stayed very curious for many years. I wanted to know how this could possibly happened being the true religion according to the JW. I am happy you are providing this information to the public. Happy that, now days people have the opportunity to investigate anything first before they get to be involved in false religion, like the sect of the false Jehova Witnesses. Thank you!

This brings back memories. Disfellowshiped at 9. Drivin to the brink of insanity, years of depression&addiction. And still suicidal, lol! Thanks for the memories.

There's some really good photos and explanations made in this video. I love the voice also. A very relaxing video. Thanks for posting.

I was a witness for 36 years and left them 9 years ago. I decided to leave because of some of the same reasons that was brought out in your video. Everybody should view this presentation, especially those contemplating becoming a part of this wicked organization. It's accurate and it's the truth. If this information was presented at a trial against the Watchtower they would be found GUILTY of one of the biggest religious deceptions in modern times!

Wow. I grew up Witness and always appreciate viewing documentaries about the organization. This is one of the most interesting. Thank you.

Thanks once more. "Excellent narration" this is why I ask Danmera to help and was glad she did.

Thank you for your excellent work here! Nice compilation😊

When I was young there was this child that was a year older then me but was held back in class twice. When I left elementary school I asked him why he did not learn better so he would have left school to for the next level of education. It was 1973. He didn't bother because the end was nigh. Another victim of religion.

Excellent video! well done. So good that everything is referenced. You have done the real truth a great service bro!

Great collaboration of Danmera and ScrewedGeneration! A very accurate timeline of the history of the Watchtower. Well done.

This was VERY well organized research. Not only is it all true but it did have me laughing out loud from time to time. Thank you so much and may continue to bless you.

This by far the best documentary on the JW org. Especially with its researchable evidence.

I grew up JW I can't believe how stupid my parents were.

It's like scientology but with the bible

This video is great. Thanks for the scans.

This is one of the best out of many video I have seen. Gee I would have like knowing about this cult 40 years ago. What a evil, evil, Organization! How a mind of a human can be hypnotize and hard to remove the spell.

This is by far the best historical video i have ever seen on this subject,, i wish i had this information in 1968,, i did leave in 1985,, after 35 years,, i wish i could have those years back,,

J.W's are insane I used to be a Mormon that was bad enough but these guy bring it to a whole new level omg!!!!!!

I did the same research in 2005, but in those days there was not KZfaq by which to disseminate it. Thank you for posting this.

Amazing video, thanks for all the hard work put into it.

Did you use the Puppet Tool in After Effects to do that nifty facial animation? That was great stuff! And this is FAR more accurate than the JW's doctored version of their history!

Excellent video. Congratulations !!

Excellent job!! One stop shop with all information that caused me to wake up!

Fascinating video of Truth explaining the history from Russell till now thank you

Thank you! Awesome job! Very well done.God Bless you!

Very well done you guys - thank you for sharing this!

THANK YOU FOR PUBLISHING THIS FINE WORK.

thank you for this info .very well put together. i can say this after 50 years in this organisation. i now have found rest in jesus christ .

I can't believe I wasted 30 years of my life on this false religion. I tried to convince my family this was the truth but thankfully nobody believed me. I wish I had looked into it deeper rather than believe my study tutor.

Excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Just wow! My prayers for all the XJW’s to find peace.

I honestly didn't expect to watch the whole video. Nicely done.

pray for my Jehovas witness fam. they refuse to research the truth of corrupt organization. False prophecies.

Thanks for the JW eye opening history of Wt leaders and their errors. Their blaming their followers for 1975 error is despicable to say the least! Nice library, by the way~

excellent work, greetings to you and Danmera!

And here again!!!! A Classic! One of my favorites!!!

Nice video. Important info. Individual witnesses believe with their whole hearts that they have the truth and need to share it. Most are very sincere. You can go to a Kingdom Hall nearly anywhere in the world and feel like you are part of a family and they teach the same things everywhere. I don't know of any other organization that has something like that, to that extent. It makes you feel lost when you leave. And there is no easy way to leave. I don't like being around angry or resentful or scornful people and I don't want to join another church. There is plenty to appreciate from being a witness, including not having a smoking or drug habit, learning how to study, etc. I think they are right about some things too. The thing I don't miss though is being afraid of Armageddon, Tribulation and coming persecution. And being told that there will be plenty of time to develop talents in the coming "New System". I think we are just donkeys being teased along with that carrot.

Nicely done. I have two sisters in this cult, who haven’t spoken to me in decades.

wow.this answers so much.thank you for posting

This is excellent! A wealth of information.

I feel like I wasted my youth

I disassociated myself when I was 33 after being brought up a Jehovahs witness. I was abused by my brother from the age of 4 -9 it was all covered up of course. In my congregation a mother was arrested for having a sexual relationship with her son, he admitted to abusing his sister. Another boy was abused by his uncle. An ex girl friend told me her brother sexualy abused her. There were others I found out about from other congregations, one guy who consentialy had a sexual relationship with two of his sisters hung himself.... It is a rotten religion of small minded, petty fantasists who love to judge others. Arrogant and dangerous, preaching should be banned as emotional abuse. The religion with the lowest IQ.

This is incredible!!! Thanks so much!!

Your channel's name is very appropriate since SCREWED is exactly how I would describe your captioning.

I studied many sites that explain the history, including today's "Bible students" websites. For the books and magazines, many I got from ex-JWs and some from ebay. Lots of the proof of the actual history can be found in those old publications, including books written by the Bible students themselves in those times, like "Faith on the march" by McMillan.

I sent enjoyed this video. So informative. I didn't see any mention of Albert Pikes, did I miss it or is there a connection?

Excellent video. Super professional.

Very well done! Youve gained a sub. Keep speaking the TRUTH and shining the ONLY "Light" there is... CHRIST JESUS!!!

Home I appreciate your work. Can you tell me how you animated those still photographs ?

Excellent work you two. I wish I could favorite this video more

Excellent video.loved it watching

excellent , excellent, video.

The need for religion will never disappear in human society. There will always be a significant percentage of people in society that are incapable of demonstrating self regulation, and rational thought. Those people who require validation and a sense of purpose from a ruling organization, are enslaved by their own self-serving bias and determination to connect with an authority figure. I do not feel sorry for adults who choose this type of lifestyle, but I do feel sympathy for their children.

thanks, very informative and well put together

Is this available for purchase somewhere? If not, can I have permission to download it so that I can have a hard copy on hand?

Thank you for the insight within this video. As an ex JW I see things the right way now. They tried to brainwash me into believing their beliefs. I was there for only 1/2 of 2017. Most of their beliefs are out there. They made me quit college and that really upset me, so I am renrolling. *New Sub*

I dont always read false prophecies But when I do its in the watchtower Stay thirsty my friends

Thanks for leaving this up.

REALY THIS IS A GREAT DONE JOB, GOD BLESS YOU

Huge, multi-billion-dollar, money-making organization - I'd say YES

Can I get this in DVD? Where would I go to purchase? I really enjoy these videos I left the organization four years ago. Best decision of my life and only now realizing how horrible they really are. Unfortunately my parents are still in the organization and I would love to send these as DVD since I know they wouldn't watch it if I just sent a link to KZfaq.

This video just preached the truth! Great job!

Great video! Very informative!

Informative and mostly well done, but in my opinion the little sound clips added to effect a loony "exclamation point" took away from the credibility of this otherwise well done piece.

A big difference between the Bible Students, started by Russell, and the Jehovah's Witnesses, started by Rutherford, is that Russell encouraged personal Bible study and for people to prove to doctrines to themselves. Bible Students are allowed to have different view points and are allowed to disagree with each other on things. JWs are forced to accept doctrines from a central head quarters and have no freedom of thought.

thank you this was very informational!

Very well put together.

Well done video, thank you for making this.
