I am no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, but wha I learned, i learned from the Bible. For instance “Everlasting life and the “reserection”. I believe these things because they make sense. The reason why I left is “God is love” and there was. No love. Therefore, if there is no love God can not be there. Also, I have not been able to use the name Jehovah in my prayers. I currently call on the name that God gave Himself YHWH.

Do you remember when we were trained to say it was a “course” and not a study because phrasing it as a course put in the householders mind that it’s not forever. Such manipulation.
Emotional manipulation is used by them as I personally experienced after being disfellowshipped 24 years ago, trying to entice you back to "The Truth" by being ostracised by your family and all my friends I'd grown up with....fortunately I'm a very strong person (after several yrs of tears)...."come back to the organisation and you can have all your family and friends back!!".......erm...no thanks
9:34 I laughed hard to this. When I was studying with a local elder I tried to ve witty and answer the questions with my own words only to be told that the answer was right there in the text. Then I read the answer and marked it over or underlined it with a pen.
Just been gaslight on Instagram by a jw who said "the preaching work goal isn't to convert people, we just spread the bible message that's it " The dissonance...smh 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The fact the governing body approved the such a misfire on the my teen life segment shows how disconnected they are from reality. They just heard the word "pressure" and immediately connected it to pressure from others.
I’ve noticed for a while now that every they “quote” Matt. 28:19, they cut off the scripture. The reason being is if they quote the entire passage, it contradicts their baptism ?’s by 10 folds, & throughout the book of Acts, the baptisms were in name of Jesus. (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, Acts 8:14-17, Acts 19:5) However, their ‘bible study aid’ “Bearing Thorough Witness” doesn’t discuss this, & skate around by partially quoting these scriptures.
Difference between the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the Anti-Christs and the BIBLICAL teachings of the Christ - The ANTI-CHRISTS and ETERNAL DEATH - Jesus Christ KNOWS that all Fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions who hate the Creator and believe the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the anti-Christs about "Armageddon", "Immortality of the souls or the heaven and hellfire", "Trinity", "Reincarnation", and "rapture" will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their inescapable deaths. The CHRIST and ETERNAL LIFE - Jesus Christ KNOWS that submissive and obedient human beings who put their faith and hope in his BIBLICAL authority and teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without pains, sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths. Jesus Christ KNOWS that his followers will also become worthless dusts after their deaths, but also knows that he'll resurrect them back to life at the Creator's own good time. The Creator KNOWS that he will let his worshippers and believers of his Christ live and exist forever on a safe and peaceful planet earth without terrorists, criminals, and militaries, without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, deceivers, and hypocrites, without funeral homes and cemeteries. Worshippers of the Creator and believers of his Christ KNOW that they will fully enjoy the love, kindness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity as subjects of the "Kingdom of God" under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
Hahaha! That video of how Covid shut down their filming might be the worst video I've seen. Well...maybe Scientologist videos are worse, but it's been over a decade since I saw those.
I’m confused, if the governing body represent the anointed and gods channel of communication and run things and it’s what they say, what is the point of having Ciranko as the president? And is he even anointed? So doesn’t that make him lower than the governing body if he isn’t? And if he is anointed, does this mean Rutherford was anointed and Jesus chose Rutherford and Ciranko and all the other presidents before him as well? So many questions lol
It’s always amazed me how many hundreds of millions of books, magazines, pamphlets, and tracts have been pumped out over the last 150 years by the WT just to decipher one single book. After the Bible was written, god snickered to himself and said, “hehe, good luck you guys figuring that one out on your own”. Charles Taze Russell, “hold my beer”.
I never felt comfortable redirecting, to “later”, the things I could not explain, at the door. I have so many messed up interactions, that have taken place since 1990. I was baptized in 1994. One funny thing is, I was baptized an a Saturday, as traditionally done, 4/4/1994, was the date. 4/4/1994 was not a Saturday, it was a Monday, and is on my record as such, but it is incorrect. Lastly, I no longer have a tribe. This is the first video of yours, that I have watched. So, I don’t know if you know how painful and lonely it is to be an ex Jehovah’s Witness. I had a family, 5 children, a husband, mother sisters, a half brother, nieces and nephews, some I have never met, 5 grandchildren of which 3 I have never met, nor do I know their names. I have been excluded from weddings, births, deaths, graduations, showers, gatherings of any kind. I’ve been on and emergency room table, as close to dead, as I have ever reached, self inflicted of course. I took 220 semi harmful head meds. My family told me I was crazy, until I believed it. Currently, I sit in my living 1 bedroom apartment alone, with no where to go, nothing to do, no one to see, no family, no religion, no tribe and with so much to say. All I truly know is, YHWH displays His love for me, in ways only I can see. All the above mentioned dysfunctions, are a result of the freedom to choose. I was not born into this way of life. I chose it and forced it onto others, that wanted nothing to do with it or me. I will no longer use the name of Gos translated into English. I now use the name He gave to Himself, YHWH. What happened to me will take a lifetime to recover from, but there went my life. My thoughts are that the most powerful being in the universe, YHWH, is going to prove His power by righting all wrongs, as only He can do. Where do I find a tribe that Love God, YHWH, as much as I do. I could not ever be an atheist. I am far to grateful to YHWH for being my only friend. The things He has done for me, could not have been done by anyone else.
I’ve been out for nearly fifty years and from this detached standpoint I see a procession of sad,unlearned ( ok,ignorant) old men,pedalling the same irrational nonsense that woke me up in the first place,forbidding questioning on pain of death,hanging on to their egotistical privileged position by any means possible. It’s a depressing spectacle. Keep chipping away Lloyd..You’re doing a grand job
I'm glad that Little Bo Peep gets saved. I mean, she's had such a hard time of it. What with her sheep going walkies and all. I just feel sorry for the wolves. Little known fact: They don't really like hot tubs... Edit: Where do I get one of those fiery horses? I need one, as my neighbour keeps on "borrowing" my BBQ lighters, and it'd make a good talking point for my next get together.
Keep on publishing, LOL. I told am elder, the same one that said ‘it’s you way or the highway.”, I did not feel comfortable inviting people into the Kingdom Hall because I felt i was in a hostile environment. He said to me: “Sounds like you have a problem, you need to get over.” There is nothing I miss, in that congregation.
Does anyone else notice how when they quote that scripture, they leave out babtised "in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit?" Always leaving it out despite the explicit instructions.
Jade and Neeta , they are very handsome looking women and very photogenic , perhaps they may get some offers for television show roles . I do have to say that there is often some very good acting in the JW propaganda films a lot of them involved are very talented people !
Thanks for calling out that the behaviour described in "My Teen Life" is in fact sexual harassment. I was utterly horrified before you cut in. And - I mean - what was the point of that cut to a shark? Sorry, I'm still a bit too shaken to
1:07:18 makes my stomach turn. This “teenager” will be told that by following that bible verse and praying, it will be a witness to her attacker and he may become a JW😡😡 The JW’s have only one goal…convert. And teaching their children to protect themselves isn’t even in their vocabulary. This girl will most likely be shamed for tempting the attacker or be told she needs to pray for him🤮😡
when we all woke up. We burried all the JW books and bound volumes and planted a pine tree on top. the Tree is growing just fine, looks like there is a good use for there books after all. (was my Dads idea)
When I was under Watchtower mind control, I called on a man who requested big stacks of old Watchtower and Awake! magazines. It turned out that he wanted to feed them to his worm farm which was used to grow fishing bait.
As soon as I heard the words “what has Jehovah done for us” my mind immediately switched into Monty Python and “what have the Romans ever done for us”….. at least the Romans gave tangible infrastructure that benefitted the people around them
I mean, straight sex is very rarely consensual, so if you call the authorities every time someone tries to push you into it, they'll be doing that so much they won't have time to do anything else
What are they on about legal marriage anyways? It clearly doesn't bother them if someone is legally divorced for reasons other than adultery. What a blatant duplicity.
Well their books might talk about living forever, but I am still waiting for them to show me the actual scripture that precisely says they are going to a paradise to live forever
The new book wording is interesting 'enjoy life forever' it sounds like in present tense (Enjoy life (now) - forever) and as Robert indicated it includes about how to live well now. This for me is a shift from Watchtower and I can see this becoming more emphasised drip fed as we progress over the next few years and decades. A shift to becoming more a lifestyle cult, one that will start getting members to live the life we want to see in a paradise earth, maybe more emphasis on our earths issues, recycling etc and looking after the planet to give followers something to do as it becomes obvious Armageddon is not round the corner. The shift will or at least should be towards living like what we are expecting paradise to be like, sort of slowly making the paradise a reality, maybe even changing doctrine to show that rather than outright Armageddon it will be a phased approach, with witnesses first having to also physically endeavouring to live the JW paradise life as well as morals. The reality is paradise would need an infrastructure and this should be part of preparation now. Watchtower could also then supply products that are environmentally sound to JW's and thus completing the MLM and cult mentality merge. Sounds daft but I think things maybe slowly moving that way at least in part and for me the only real way watchtower can carry on when the overlapping generations fails. They need to adjust the business model slowly now .....maybe this wording on the new book is an indication of a future organisation path 🤔
Just a thought, the man singing the song to the black and white video has a nice voice and is most likely a JW maybe a Bethalite but he will not be able to pursue a career in music and reach his full potential. There are many talented and even gifted musicians, artists, dancers , swimmers , sportsmen and women and such like who are JWs but who are only encouraged to put spiritual matters first in their lives and are told not to follow worldly desires and selfish pleasures. In my opinion it’s such a waste of potential that these people often end up in menial jobs when they could make something of themselves.
I remember having an afternoon book burning session at the KH. What about those books?? inspired by the "J man'?? I was about 10, the elders said, "don't ask".
32:11 another red flag was the time it took each prophecy to be fulfilled in bible times, compared with the time that Jesus said he's coming soon but it's been 2000 years
Difference between the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the Anti-Christs and the BIBLICAL teachings of the Christ - The ANTI-CHRISTS and ETERNAL DEATH - Jesus Christ KNOWS that all Fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions who hate the Creator and believe the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the anti-Christs about "Armageddon", "hellfire", "Trinity", "Reincarnation", and "rapture" will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their inescapable deaths.

51:22 is the point where even the dumbest of people can understand that THE sole purpose of “studying” with a JW is to convert you!! NOT educate you or have discussions or debates. You are a weak sinner who is a disappointment to all if you fail “to progress.” Lloyd, your videos make my blood boil while also validating all the experiences I had as a former JW. Keep up the work!!!!
The internet is surely making it very difficult to progress a bible study, even when they have managed to initially entrap someone. Just a brief google will educate a person on the risks associated with this organisation.
But said candid expressions will get you disfellowshipped once you're in , if you dare answer in your own words at the wt study you're dragged to the back room 🤣😆

How successfull are JW actually with their preaching?
Not as successful as they are with loosing members. 🤣
@@awakenedratherlatethanneve3896 it’s “losing”
As a former police officer six crimes are a crime not just a sin this organization continues to hide these terrible people their days are numbered
How real can be something (for example Jehovah) if the thing is just product of our imagination?
"Interactive" course. In the new JW book, there is a lie right on the cover.
Do you remember when we were trained to say it was a “course” and not a study because phrasing it as a course put in the householders mind that it’s not forever. Such manipulation.
Emotional manipulation is used by them as I personally experienced after being disfellowshipped 24 years ago, trying to entice you back to "The Truth" by being ostracised by your family and all my friends I'd grown up with....fortunately I'm a very strong person (after several yrs of tears)...."come back to the organisation and you can have all your family and friends back!!".......erm...no thanks
Fake friends and fake family
Could not be me more happier now since 1997, my family have missed out on me and my beautiful family
How any of the people from WT assigned to surveil your videos manage to remain believers will always be a mystery to me.
9:34 I laughed hard to this. When I was studying with a local elder I tried to ve witty and answer the questions with my own words only to be told that the answer was right there in the text. Then I read the answer and marked it over or underlined it with a pen.
Thanks Lloyd
Just been gaslight on Instagram by a jw who said "the preaching work goal isn't to convert people, we just spread the bible message that's it "
The dissonance...smh 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Why does someone need a piece of paper saying they're married?
The fact the governing body approved the such a misfire on the my teen life segment shows how disconnected they are from reality.
They just heard the word "pressure" and immediately connected it to pressure from others.
I’ve noticed for a while now that every they “quote” Matt. 28:19, they cut off the scripture. The reason being is if they quote the entire passage, it contradicts their baptism ?’s by 10 folds, & throughout the book of Acts, the baptisms were in name of Jesus. (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:48, Acts 8:14-17, Acts 19:5) However, their ‘bible study aid’ “Bearing Thorough Witness” doesn’t discuss this, & skate around by partially quoting these scriptures.
Difference between the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the Anti-Christs and the BIBLICAL teachings of the Christ -
The ANTI-CHRISTS and ETERNAL DEATH -
Jesus Christ KNOWS that all Fanatics of all Christian and non-Christian Religions who hate the Creator and believe the UNBIBLICAL teachings of the anti-Christs about "Armageddon", "Immortality of the souls or the heaven and hellfire", "Trinity", "Reincarnation", and "rapture" will just become worthless and useless dusts on earth forever after their inescapable deaths.
The CHRIST and ETERNAL LIFE -
Jesus Christ KNOWS that submissive and obedient human beings who put their faith and hope in his BIBLICAL authority and teachings about the "Kingdom of God" and "Resurrection of the Dead" will be rewarded and honored by the Creator with ETERNAL LIFE and existence on earth without pains, sufferings, griefs, sickness, and deaths.
Jesus Christ KNOWS that his followers will also become worthless dusts after their deaths, but also knows that he'll resurrect them back to life at the Creator's own good time.
The Creator KNOWS that he will let his worshippers and believers of his Christ live and exist forever on a safe and peaceful planet earth without terrorists, criminals, and militaries, without arrogant, cruel, and hateful persons, without liars, slanderers, deceivers, and hypocrites, without funeral homes and cemeteries.
Worshippers of the Creator and believers of his Christ KNOW that they will fully enjoy the love, kindness, generosities, compassions, favors, and blessings of the Creator and his Christ for eternity as subjects of the "Kingdom of God" under the loving rulership, guidance, and protection of the Creator's Chosen King and Ruler, Jesus Christ.
Watching these videos are unhealthy because the organization is so wrong with the way they treat persons it really hurts with their conditional love.
Hahaha!
That video of how Covid shut down their filming might be the worst video I've seen.
Well...maybe Scientologist videos are worse, but it's been over a decade since I saw those.
TBH, I attended two different high schools in two different states, and the issue of sex NEVER came up
I had to laugh out loud when he said "the article 'keep busy during the last of the last days'"… the irony is so painful omg
I’m confused, if the governing body represent the anointed and gods channel of communication and run things and it’s what they say, what is the point of having Ciranko as the president? And is he even anointed? So doesn’t that make him lower than the governing body if he isn’t? And if he is anointed, does this mean Rutherford was anointed and Jesus chose Rutherford and Ciranko and all the other presidents before him as well? So many questions lol
It’s always amazed me how many hundreds of millions of books, magazines, pamphlets, and tracts have been pumped out over the last 150 years by the WT just to decipher one single book. After the Bible was written, god snickered to himself and said, “hehe, good luck you guys figuring that one out on your own”. Charles Taze Russell, “hold my beer”.
I never felt comfortable redirecting, to “later”, the things I could not explain, at the door. I have so many messed up interactions, that have taken place since 1990. I was baptized in 1994.
One funny thing is, I was baptized an a Saturday, as traditionally done, 4/4/1994, was the date. 4/4/1994 was not a Saturday, it was a Monday, and is on my record as such, but it is incorrect.
Lastly, I no longer have a tribe. This is the first video of yours, that I have watched. So, I don’t know if you know how painful and lonely it is to be an ex Jehovah’s Witness.
I had a family, 5 children, a husband, mother sisters, a half brother, nieces and nephews, some I have never met, 5 grandchildren of which 3 I have never met, nor do I know their names. I have been excluded from weddings, births, deaths, graduations, showers, gatherings of any kind.
I’ve been on and emergency room table, as close to dead, as I have ever reached, self inflicted of course. I took 220 semi harmful head meds. My family told me I was crazy, until I believed it. Currently, I sit in my living 1 bedroom apartment alone, with no where to go, nothing to do, no one to see, no family, no religion, no tribe and with so much to say. All I truly know is, YHWH displays His love for me, in ways only I can see. All the above mentioned dysfunctions, are a result of the freedom to choose.
I was not born into this way of life. I chose it and forced it onto others, that wanted nothing to do with it or me. I will no longer use the name of Gos translated into English. I now use the name He gave to Himself, YHWH.
What happened to me will take a lifetime to recover from, but there went my life. My thoughts are that the most powerful being in the universe, YHWH, is going to prove His power by righting all wrongs, as only He can do.
Where do I find a tribe that Love God, YHWH, as much as I do. I could not ever be an atheist. I am far to grateful to YHWH for being my only friend. The things He has done for me, could not have been done by anyone else.
I’ve been out for nearly fifty years and from this detached standpoint I see a procession of sad,unlearned ( ok,ignorant) old men,pedalling the same irrational nonsense that woke me up in the first place,forbidding questioning on pain of death,hanging on to their egotistical privileged position by any means possible. It’s a depressing spectacle. Keep chipping away Lloyd..You’re doing a grand job
I'm glad that Little Bo Peep gets saved.
I mean, she's had such a hard time of it. What with her sheep going walkies and all.
I just feel sorry for the wolves. Little known fact: They don't really like hot tubs...
Edit: Where do I get one of those fiery horses? I need one, as my neighbour keeps on "borrowing" my BBQ lighters, and it'd make a good talking point for my next get together.
I wasn’t aware the resurrection would also bring fictional characters to life, are we going to see Spongebob having a bible study next?
It's so weird - Ciranko is introduced as a helper - but if you google him, you find out he is the PRESIDENT of the WTBTS
Keep on publishing, LOL. I told am elder, the same one that said ‘it’s you way or the highway.”, I did not feel comfortable inviting people into the Kingdom Hall because I felt i was in a hostile environment. He said to me: “Sounds like you have a problem, you need to get over.” There is nothing I miss, in that congregation.
The laugh after ..."some wolves?", was priceless!
Does anyone else notice how when they quote that scripture, they leave out babtised "in the name of the father, son and the holy spirit?"
Always leaving it out despite the explicit instructions.
Jade and Neeta , they are very handsome looking women and very photogenic , perhaps they may get some offers for television show roles . I do have to say that there is often some very good acting in the JW propaganda films a lot of them involved are very talented people !
It must get a little stagnant always debunking the same M.O. But as they try to keep things “fresh”, you are here to keep them honest 😆
Lloyd, this was long but enjoyable.
"but are you legally married?" Bwahaha. I would've been like, "nah, Viktor doesn't allow that" 😂
When you said a) Rightly Disposed and b) Hamster Wheel, I LOL'D
“Little Boo Peep”. Lol
🤣🤣
Yup. In stitches. Lol
@@ramrod576 Little Bo Peep is a fine analogy for this cult as they are also losing their sheep in droves.
Thanks for calling out that the behaviour described in "My Teen Life" is in fact sexual harassment. I was utterly horrified before you cut in. And - I mean - what was the point of that cut to a shark?
Sorry, I'm still a bit too shaken to
1:07:18 makes my stomach turn. This “teenager” will be told that by following that bible verse and praying, it will be a witness to her attacker and he may become a JW😡😡 The JW’s have only one goal…convert. And teaching their children to protect themselves isn’t even in their vocabulary. This girl will most likely be shamed for tempting the attacker or be told she needs to pray for him🤮😡
This is brilliant! For once they reveal how controlling and manipulative they are. And they don't even realize it 😂
Is Robert Ciranko the President of The Watch Tower? I could have sworn he is
“Using” questions effectively…wow. That language is SO telling!
when we all woke up. We burried all the JW books and bound volumes and planted a pine tree on top. the Tree is growing just fine, looks like there is a good use for there books after all. (was my Dads idea)
When I was under Watchtower mind control, I called on a man who requested big stacks of old Watchtower and Awake! magazines. It turned out that he wanted to feed them to his worm farm which was used to grow fishing bait.
As soon as I heard the words “what has Jehovah done for us” my mind immediately switched into Monty Python and “what have the Romans ever done for us”….. at least the Romans gave tangible infrastructure that benefitted the people around them
As always good stuff
Question for GB masters at short sightedness. What happens when Neeta or Jade wake up.... ⏰ 🤔 😕 😳
I mean, straight sex is very rarely consensual, so if you call the authorities every time someone tries to push you into it, they'll be doing that so much they won't have time to do anything else
What are they on about legal marriage anyways? It clearly doesn't bother them if someone is legally divorced for reasons other than adultery. What a blatant duplicity.
Great "JW BROADCASTING" rebuttal video, Lloyd.
Well their books might talk about living forever, but I am still waiting for them to show me the actual scripture that precisely says they are going to a paradise to live forever
the jade makes me so sad that i can't. also, that poor girl in the youth-whatever. crying.
The new book wording is interesting 'enjoy life forever' it sounds like in present tense (Enjoy life (now) - forever) and as Robert indicated it includes about how to live well now.
This for me is a shift from Watchtower and I can see this becoming more emphasised drip fed as we progress over the next few years and decades.
A shift to becoming more a lifestyle cult, one that will start getting members to live the life we want to see in a paradise earth, maybe more emphasis on our earths issues, recycling etc and looking after the planet to give followers something to do as it becomes obvious Armageddon is not round the corner.
The shift will or at least should be towards living like what we are expecting paradise to be like, sort of slowly making the paradise a reality, maybe even changing doctrine to show that rather than outright Armageddon it will be a phased approach, with witnesses first having to also physically endeavouring to live the JW paradise life as well as morals.
The reality is paradise would need an infrastructure and this should be part of preparation now.
Watchtower could also then supply products that are environmentally sound to JW's and thus completing the MLM and cult mentality merge.
Sounds daft but I think things maybe slowly moving that way at least in part and for me the only real way watchtower can carry on when the overlapping generations fails.
They need to adjust the business model slowly now .....maybe this wording on the new book is an indication of a future organisation path 🤔
Just a thought, the man singing the song to the black and white video has a nice voice and is most likely a JW maybe a Bethalite but he will not be able to pursue a career in music and reach his full potential. There are many talented and even gifted musicians, artists, dancers , swimmers , sportsmen and women and such like who are JWs but who are only encouraged to put spiritual matters first in their lives and are told not to follow worldly desires and selfish pleasures. In my opinion it’s such a waste of potential that these people often end up in menial jobs when they could make something of themselves.
I remember having an afternoon book burning session at the KH. What about those books?? inspired by the "J man'?? I was about 10, the elders said, "don't ask".
32:11 another red flag was the time it took each prophecy to be fulfilled in bible times, compared with the time that Jesus said he's coming soon but it's been 2000 years
Thank you lloyd for your activism. You are truly inspiring, I have a ton of respect for you and your intelligence.
Want a good laugh? Look up "Donatism heresy" and you will see ancient JWs basically who somehow made more sense...
That armageddon is "Jehovah's Day," is actually quite disturbing. The 'God of love' is to be defined by death and destruction?

In the Old Testament he is described as such! In the New Testament he is LOVE
Great -as always! Thanks!
I need bible to jehova where I get
51:22 is the point where even the dumbest of people can understand that THE sole purpose of “studying” with a JW is to convert you!! NOT educate you or have discussions or debates. You are a weak sinner who is a disappointment to all if you fail “to progress.” Lloyd, your videos make my blood boil while also validating all the experiences I had as a former JW. Keep up the work!!!!
1:05:01 The poor girl, she is traumatized...she does not want to be here
I thought that this person was a victim of COVID. Has he been resurrected?
The song reminds me of something a goth songwriter would write.
Love love love you're looking up lol - you're awesome, Lloyd! =)
The internet is surely making it very difficult to progress a bible study, even when they have managed to initially entrap someone. Just a brief google will educate a person on the risks associated with this organisation.
But said candid expressions will get you disfellowshipped once you're in , if you dare answer in your own words at the wt study you're dragged to the back room 🤣😆
That boy in the teen life video
I can’t explain why but he needs to leave the org and become a sports commentator
Thank you for another breath of fresh air; a reprieve from the multitudinous reasonings from this cult that are quite simply inept. Its nice to see the light in Satan’s system of things lol
As a huge fan of anime, the animated music video made me cringe in a way I've never cringed before. 😖 yuck
I just know I would’ve barfed every time I had to watch my teen life if I had to watch it during my teen life 🤮
