The Governing Body Asks Jehovah's Witnesses: "Is Telling the Truth Important?"
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are the most 'honest' men in all the universe, just ask them. This week they produced an article entitled "Is Truth Important Anymore?" Taking a brief look at their history, should they be commenting on 'truth?' What do we find when we examine the organization they call 'the Truth?'TWITTER: @exjwpodcastINSTAGRAM: survivingparadisepodcast

Governing Body Fantasy: Do Governments Fear Jehovah's Witnesses and Book Carts?
In a recent 'dramatic Bible reading,' on Jesus' website, the Governing Body is reminding world governments that Revelation is all about them... and that they're on notice! Despite 110 armed conflicts happening on earth today, world leaders are most concerned with nine guys in upstate New York, their book carts and their inauguration as kings. It's all in full color!

Insulting Jehovah's Witnesses: Highlights from Governing Body Update #3 & May 2024 JW Broadcasting
In Governing Body Update #3 Jesus directs his guys in New York to clarify his recent fashion changes... because the ‘Great Teacher’ has been struggling with clear communication lately.

Jehovah's Witnesses on Foreknowledge & Predestination: Back to the Future?
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses wants you to believe that God is omniscient and omnipotent. They teach millions that he wields his power over space and time selectively, much like choosing you're favorite Spotify play list... and that creates many questions.

Well done
I left the religion about 16 years ago and never looked back. In fact never even thought about the residual I carried with me all these years until recently. It’s very helpful to hear your commentary.
Thank you
For creating this podcast. My mother joined this cult several years ago. I am so hurt by her choice and I have been devouring this podcast in an effort to understand why this loving woman has joined a manipulative, abusive, misogynistic doomsday cult.
Perhaps the best JW deep dive
I am also a JW child of the 70’s and 80’s. Stacy dissects the beliefs of JW’s in a humorous and completely accurate way. The Watchtower definitely wants you to forget this stuff or never learn about and they SURE don’t want you to think critically about their teachings. Put on your thinking cap and get ready to smile and heal.
