Governing Body Update #8: Jehovah's Witnesses Are Becoming Celebrities?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- With mankind hanging in the balance, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses gives updates on people sitting in prison while they build a movie production studio in Ramapo, NY... and issue a stern warning on star treatment for the video actors inside their developing celebrity culture!
After telling us about these poor people in prison, he turned to the “more important “ things, the BUILDING CONSTRUCTION !,,,, I can’t watch their BS any more, I’m glad you told us as to what’s going on. Thanks and happy new year, “still alive in 2025”
LOL, love that tagline!
It's great to have you back .I really enjoy your podcasts.
Thank you so much!
Complete lunacy. Welcome back, Stacy.
It's so off the rails.....great to be back!
Hey Stacey! So good to hear your voice, especially your laughter again. I hope you enjoyed your break. I saw this update and couldn’t help thinking when King Cooke said these J-dub actors don’t seek fame or glory for themselves that it was another one of their veiled warnings. “Hey! Don’t you dare seek fame or glory for yourself!” They can’t have their followers stealing the limelight from them. Also, I was not aware the Bible autographing they did was actually in one of their magazines. Someone only told me they did it. It’s disgusting that they gave a talk with only a few minutes about the prisoners, then dedicated so much more of it to their future Pseudo-Hollywood! Great podcast! You’re kicking ass as usual!
YES! Thank you! It's all complete insanity.....in print "don't autograph bibles"... May 1999 WT,,.. photo of THEM autographing bibles! LOL
Welcome back!
Great video, again.❤
Your comment at 21:11 reminded me of the video by the 'Blue Envelope' channel about "Jehovah, the God of Real Estate"...
I agree, Blue Envelope's channel, Phil, did an awesome job developing that topic in his video, I might add, no doubt about it, and the 1945 wt charter states JEHOVAH is under God and Christ Jesus, ha! An invisible cult leader with the big buck$ and prime real estate. How much will they $ell/flip that beauty for? Just sayin'.
I need to watch that! I've seen his stuff in the past, so good!
45:20 the Governing Body: _"We must avoid transferring our admiration for the Biblical characters to the brothers and sisters that portray them on screen."_
Also the Governing Body: " _"The Governing Body could be likened to the voice of Jesus."_ -Kenneth Flodin, JW Broadcast, April 2023
EXCELLENT POINT!!!!!
Welcome back Stacy. Hope you enjoyed your well deserved break. Well, what a podcast this was. You didn't disappoint talking about the craziness of JW land. This organisation gets more and more bazar on a daily basis. The GB have completely lost the plot in my opinion, and have their priorities all wrong, and deluding themselves that God is approving of it all. Everything about that update is totally insane to me. They are no different than so called Christendom. You did a great job of disecting this update and showing what an absolute joke this organisation is.
Great to have you back Stacy, and look forward to your next one. 👍
Thank you so much Jayne!
Welcome back! Makes you wonder why they build a movie studio in the first place. To get around personal fame they could make cartoons (if they really need to).😊
Isaiah 8:10, 2thimoty 3:7-9, 2Peter 2:1-3,Psalms 37:20.
They are cartoons.
they don't see the irony of their own actions....it's hilarious!
Yeah they wouldn’t even have to change Lett!
Great podcast. I hope you enjoyed the picture I sent you of Lett with my sister and her family. Yes, they all got their bibles signed.
Shocking, but not really surprising.
How disgusting. Men of God are not supposed to seek fame
Thank you for sending.....wild!!!! And he took the picture....just like Kenneth told them NOT to do.... LOL!
Happy New Year ❤. Great episode. Thank you.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Hello Stacey, Happy and Healthy New 2025 Year. Wonderful to be excited about our Monday nite time podcast rendezvous once again from the "land down under" NZ
Thank you for being here from your beautiful country!!
Oh man, you’re a character! I love your work, you have me cracking up all the time🤣 amazing work! Keep it up 👍 😊
Happy New Years! Welcome back, it's 3am and I'm all Ears
Thank you! Happy New Year!
The watchtower material is so mind numbing, I would have expected my eyes to be permanently rolled into the back of my head at this point. For those who haven’t woke up yet, time to unplug from the cult matrix. The stupidity of it all is insane.
YES!!! I feel the exact same way
Welcome back!! Hope you had fun and got some good R&R.
Gubber … you know what I’m going to say.
😂😂😂
For this weeks podcast cyber buffet menu, our indulgence shall consist of lasagna, meatballs, sausage manicotti, Caesar salad, lemon shrimp linguine, bruschetta chicken, and pizzelles, sweet almond twists & tiramisu for desert.
Everyone, grab your plates & get comfy.
WHOOP, WHOOP!
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That menu sounds MUCH better!
@ I made myself hungry at midnight. 😂😂😂
Can't help but think wt has the new improved hollywood jw-style with the hebrew Disney flair.
Great podcast 💪🏻. Welcome back! @survivingparadise, Stacey
LOL!!!! Don't give them any ideas!
@survivingparadisepodcast No, they can pay me for my ideas 😁
Just woke up last year...pimo now..geoffrey jackon 2016 australian commission finished me also mina...ibsa properties...ngo in UN since 1992..shares in pharma gambling and pharma....been in and out since 1978...no children no career 3 breakdowns...am done...
It's a rabbit hole, for sure. You've barely scratched the surface.
Glad you're out.
You sound very discouraged (I could be wrong and I hope that I am), if so try to get involved with a support group of persons in circumstances similar to your own.
Meanwhile derive some pride in yourself for having escaped, many haven’t yet…
SO glad you have joined us! All of those horrible things should wake up every JW...... we are hopeful!

I’m so sorry that you went through that, I myself am a raised in longtime exjw. For various reasons my wife and I had a much easier time just walking away back in the 80s. And we both endured, and heard of, much less drama than is now being exposed about the wt. We left for simpler reasons…
Be that as it may, don’t let yourself be reduced to passive acceptance of your circumstances whatever they may be. There are sources available for some real help if that’s what you’re seeking.
All the best from a fellow ex victim of this cult of crap!
@greyberet1 thank uuù
Happy New Year Brohim!!!
🎵 Almost PARADISE!!!
WE'RE KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR!!!
PARADISE!!
oh who could ask for mooooooore 😩🎵
Mike Reno and Ann Wilson would be so proud!
@@survivingparadisepodcast Whats The Frequency Kenneth seems appropriate for this episode upon further reflection 😂
Welcome back, I have been missing listening to all these contradictions of the Governing Body.
Thank you, so glad you're listening!
Don’t forget the pins of Sofia and Caleb that many children wear 😮 Thanks for bringing awareness ❤awesome podcast
YES! Thank you, I forgot that one!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🎉❤🥳 Welcome back.
happy new year!!
Governing Body "Everything we do is the lamest stuff imaginable."
It's so so so bad!
Welcome back, and a happy new year!
Genuinely hoping you are doing well and we gonna have a jolly good time with your show about JW nonsense and atrocities.
Thank you! You too!!
My guy Stace is back, getting us started for the week.
This is one of the more wilder broadcastings I’ve reviewed. I keep asking how did I get involved in this religion, & how did it change so drastically??! I mean, I left in 2022, & it’s even more diluted today in such a short period of time.
Happy New Year Stacy!!!🎉🎉🎉
Happy New Year!!
Hey from Australia!
Hi, thanks for being here!
The Ramapo project contributed mightily to me exiting the org 2 years ago. When they announced it in 2019, the finish date was 2026. So... why would Jesus green light a project built with the money of hardworking JW's that would be completed in 7 years unless Armageddon was coming after it was completed? And well after 2026 because we have to get some use out of it right? Listen, I allowed myself to be duped for 49 years and I take responsibility for keeping my blinders on, but at this point, I can't see how any JW can remain PIMI in this sideshow of a religion.
Likewise , I never understood how the world was ending and we should hault out lives , yet we were planning a building 7 years in advance...
So glad you're here! You're not alone.....you're one of the fortunate people who woke up to the scam!! I still have days where I simply cannot see how anyone is still a JW
@@nanaamapay9632 Yes!
Especially when you read in the gospel's the whole point of Christianity was to look after widows and orphans fatherless boys and feed the poor. Practical help and not a multi billion dollar organisation like all religions are sadly.
So proud of your Gaining Wisdom! Check in on yourself Often!!
So humbled when you gift others with your Wisdom. Keep Becoming, every moment!😊
Thank you, good Sir!
Thank you Cindy!!
Its a great/ wonderful book, I just finished reading it and my husband who was an elder is reading it now . Thanks for all that you do. Its great to start my week listening to you. You are my celebrity- can I have your autograph please?😊 stay healthy and take care- you have been a big part of my deconstruction - love to hear you always
You're too sweet! I love it....let me know what you both think! :)
Crying out for those Prisoners instead of building a Movie Studio !
just imagine!
Welcome back stacy
I will definitely pick up the book .
It''s a good one!! :)
Hello Stacy - Oh it is so good to see you have posted another podcast, I am just listening to it through my tv. But in reading the comments, it looks like I'm in for a ride again :)
Can I just add something - you sometimes bring up the timing of your "laugh" responses: I would have it no other way. If you stopped, I would miss it.
Thank you so much!!! I try to be authentic :)
"We gotta get this on film!" Jesus said... 😂 😂 😂 - I can't - too funny!
LOL!!!
They do nothing for those in prison! Disgusting!!!
It's infuriating!!
Wow I just learned about this book from Chase Hughes. Going to get it!!
It's so good....I haven't finished it yet, but so eye opening!
*someones teenage Jehovah's Witness son gets sent to prison in a country known for its religious persecution*
Cook: "Ataboy! ✊️"
King Cook forgot to mention elders and MS's trying to get public talks in the Brooklyn Park, MN congregation so they could get a visit with Larry Graham or Prince 😂. So says the Bible signing GB members 😂😂😂😂.
LOL....so true. I had friends in Michael Jackson's congregation
Those future kings are behaving as though they have already been crowned. Their priorities seem to be storing up treasures on earth. They aren't making any sacrifice but are okay with their subjects sacrificing their freedom and even life.
They see themselves as all world 'important'
Your narrative about support by the wt for its members in Eritrea reminded me of the joke about the gang members walking by the open casket of one of their departed and dropping in some cash (presented as some sort of ritual of respect for the departed) and the last guy to pass the coffin scoops out all the cash and leaves a personal check for the total 😂.
A bit off topic, I know, just saying.
The man behind the curtain Governing Body was unknown, mysterious, and created some kind of awe before the advent of the Internet.
Now the GB know THEY are celebrity's 🤸🕺and want to keep it that way (no competition, thanks).
Maybe partly why Tony was quietly retired? He was a natural stage man and knew it. His bizarreness was his liability. 😮
Ramapo completed or end time right around the corner?
It's a race, who's to win? 🎉
Yes, they have created all of this....and Tony was a STAR....I miss his insanity
They only just release this lecture and their latest mag has a photo of one of the GB shaking hands with a disaster victim.
Welcome back, Stacey. Hope you are refreshed and powered up for 2025. Here is something about your favorite guy Noah that I never heard anyone comment on: How is it that Noah lived for 600 years before the Flood, and only had 3 children? Three boys. Didn’t his wife want to try again for a daughter? Assuming his wife was pretty close to his age, and he lived for 330 years after the Flood, why didn’t they have more kids? At what age did the child bearing years end back then? Why leave the populating of all the earth to just his three sons? Why not try and help out?
Good points
Thank you! OH YES....one of my favorite points and highlighted in my episode on The Flood......I go on for several minutes about him being a VIRGIN for 500 years......was he asexual? contraception? It's absurd.
@@Beautyrest575 Some of my favorite points from my Flood episode :)
@@survivingparadisepodcast I thought I’ve watched all your episodes. I’ll have to go look that one up again. You’re the best!
They’ve replaced Jesus as mediator and do not share their glory with actors.
very true.....Jesus is a nobody for JWs
I'd bet the farm that at some point down the line we are going to find out they are renting out their movie studios to other "worldly" film companies to use.
Agree! or....they're building it with the thought that they can turn and SELL it in the near future
@survivingparadisepodcast True. Either way, there is zero chance they are spending that much money on something they don't believe they will profit from.
It is the people who jump into something like this without first finding out what theyre getting into first that irritates me. As long as this keeps them from going insane and makes them happy, i can't say anything, i was told, til they try to get me signed up
It blows my mind that adults get involved with JWs....those born in....different story
Do as I say, not as I do.
I've personally seen bros n sis line up in Perth to meet n greet a fellow visiting bro giving an assembly part.
I personally knew this bro myself from the book study days in my parents house when we lived close to the old bethel.
I went over to say hello to him but was SHOCKED to see so many Perth bros n sis line up to greet him as a celebrity.
It made me realize these bros here dont get to see bethelities etc on a regular basis n so when they did (it was like celebrity had come to town).
No internet then, so as u said none of knew anything about the gov body.
I lived near the old stratified bethel n many times these bethelite bros n sis joined our cong.
We were invited there to do (i dealize now slave labour) gardening or whatever our assignment was as a young teenager.
Honestly these people r just like us, no different.
But like Alist movie stars n musicians humans seem to need to worship humans.
I honestly feel the gb know this novel it. They don't want u to idolise the ros playing the characters in the movies.
They want the glory n worship for themselves.
I've heard of young jw africian ones with posters of the gb above their beds.
Signing autographs, bibles. Taking pi s of themselves with the bros n sis so that they inturn place their fridge; they know exactly what they r doing n loving every minute of their celebrity status.
Tony Morris must miss this immensely n i don't think G Jackson felt like a celebrity when he was forced to trstify at the Royal Commission in Australia. Same their head lawyer. His name has slipped my mind.
Head down totally embarrassed the whole time. But not at Bethel himself. He was the go to man.
But after the royal comm he disappeared.
Retired in embarrassment n shame or was demoted out.
Who knows.
Very hard to stay humble n serve your bros as jesus instructed when your the leaders n all power is in your hands for the good or bad (hiding csa n disfellowshipping (removing) people from their families.
Did any of them ever start out humble wanting to serve their bros n sis br position, power n control took over?
Would any of them in a blind know of an eye swap places with those bros n sis rotting in jail.
They tell their members to be prepared to die for their bros n sis.

very well said. They have CREATED a celebrity culture for themselves....this video is absurd!
Nice
"A positive development."
Cook meant to say, "a positive real estate development." He was thinking of something totally different when he said that.
LOL, yep....exactly!!
Oh that is all so funny. Dislike these guys with a passion. I cant believe I was in for 35:years. But I got out to early I might have become a famous film star. They have forgotten that end of this system is so close. They are making millions of dollars in real estate where are they taking all that money. Maybe to their God. 😅 and telling the rank and file not to save up moneys on earth. Such hypocrites. I could go on for ever but better top. Great funny video Thankyou.
Thank you, I greatly dislike them as well! ;)
To be honest, their videos are SOOOO DEPRESSING, no wonder they all look so depressed all the time. So sad 😢
Wasn't moses, supposedly, punished for appropriating the name of god? How is "new light" different?
1. Moses wasn't a real person
2. the fictional character "Moses" was disciplined for taking credit for something a fictional god allegedly did.
He sure was....I mentioned that in this episode ;)
@@adamantiumbullet9215 LOL LOL LOL.....this made me laugh so loud
This is certainly something to think about isn’t it ? 🤔
Yes it is!
Can you tell me a better church please
I went for an audition in Australia Didn’t have a chance I am average looking at best
Oh man, you have stories!!!
@ I could have got a call up But I woke up some time after this
@@BadViking1 So glad!
Great wrap. Sorry you had to endure their garbage, to make this response
I continue to heal, thanks for being here!
Lol
Nailed it Stacy 😂
Thank you!
As it was in The Days of NOAH....😮
Days that no one can corroborate....just trust me bro! :)
As Everything is to be Dissolved....😮

The Elements being intensely Hot....😮
As They have Forgotten THE LORD....😮
I happen to know two people in this video and it makes me sick with all the recognition they receive I see witnesses down the road and all I hear is “ Have you seen so and so in the movie?” It makes me sick Now I want to join you in your log cabin lol
WOW, do you really??? Fascinating....do you have their autographs :)
@ No bloody way They can sign my toilet paper
37:09 Jesus said "Let's get this on film."
Stacy- Jesus does not approve of film. He doesn't even approve of television:
(Matthew 17:9) ."And as they were descending from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying: *“Tell the vision* to no one."
LOL!!! Jesus is big on video..... he just held off, but decided to get on board
What about Jesus in open shirt showing hairs on his chest so the young sisters put him up as a hero. Then telling the sisters not to think of the brother portraying Jesus they can be disfellowshipped if they think of him in a sexual manner.
LOL!!!! Sexy Jesus......it's in!
New Governing Body member is a Bible scholar, right?
Or a Bible translation & ancient languages expert, right?
No, he's a REAL ESTATE EXPERT.
I wonder how the global Real Estate market will look .... post-Armageddon?
Life for the post ageddon survivors won’t be a piece of cake ! The god person as is his won’t will show his total indifference. Even though people will live in ruins no electric , water etc. Like in exodus times they will think they were better off before….total disillusionment will set in ! People will be crying out for Satan in their great time of need…many are living in caves with their pandas, tiger cubs, and other cute animals…where is the Paradise as was promised ? Everyone still carries mobile phones, but no power. Where is Jesus ?
Correct....he sold real estate properties.....sort of like the apostles did.....oh.....wait a minute
@@JohnSimmons-o2v LOL!
@@gustavscholten597 Well, Jesus is distracted building a video studio and having articles about losing weight put on the website
Come on you have to get your priorities right. First one is protecting your assets and income after that nothing else matters.
