Cult Life with Robin Jackson

I've heard many Jehovah’s Witnesses say that they are the only religion that does not engage in war, and use this as indication they alone follow God’s standards. For a period while I was a Jehovah’s Witnesses I believed that. But this self-proclamation of uniqueness is far from correct.

Other religions are promptly blamed for their involvement in war, with followers referred to as "children of the Devil slaying their spiritual brothers."(Awake!, December 22, 1985, p.10)

Despite claiming to be the only religion to demonstrate neutrality and love, war atrocities pale in comparison to the Watchtower message of Armageddon, which claims "billions" (w93 10/1 p.19) will be slaughtered by Jehovah, never to be resurrected.

Recently I got a lot of flack from a Jehovah’s Witness lawyer on TikTok about me stating that the Jehovah’s Witness belief that they will never die is false and I was told that I was creating sensation. Well, in this episode I unpack the belief with proof from their very own publications that the doctrine is actually true.

The organization is notorious for laying the blame of their false predictions squarely on the rank and file. Rather than saying that Jehovah's Organization or the Governing Body incorrectly promoted a wrong teaching, they say 'people' made the false assumption, shifting blame from the leaders that promoted the teaching.

The wounds inflicted on 60,000 Herero and 10,000 Namas in the erstwhile colony of Southwest Africa have yet to heal. The scars from the exhibition of human remains in museums and the manipulation for racist scientific hypotheses are added to the scars from concentration camps and slave labor. After a century of denial, both countries' governments agreed to compensate each other for 1.1 billion euros over 30 years. However, the victims' relatives do not believe their demands are being heard.

Germany announced on May 28, 2021 that it had achieved a Reconciliation Agreement with Namibia.Between 1904 and 1908, it committed genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples in South West Africa (now Namibia), according to this agreement. The German Bundestag (German Federal Parliament) and the Namibian Parliament must yet approve the deal.

The draft agreement is one of the first formal Reconciliation Agreements to be negotiated on a state-by-state basis between a former colonial authority and a former colony.

Fear, manipulation and undue influence all form part of the arsenal that cults use to control members. In this episode I discuss a further five reasons not to become a Jehovah's Witness.

Jehovah's Witnesses are generally sincere, clean-living individuals who devote their lives to serving Jehovah in the manner instructed by the Watchtower, which includes regular preaching and attendance at meetings.

One of the enjoyable aspects of being a Jehovah's Witness is making friends through the congregation and meeting a diverse range of people through Conventions. This is not, however, unique to being a Jehovah's Witness. Other religions and churches do that too.

High control religious groups greatly limit the freedom of their members, based on the belief system of the leaders.The fault lies not with the followers but with the system, particularly the manner in which Watchtower leaders force followers to think and behave.

The discovery of the remains of 215 children at the site of a former school in British Columbia shocked Canadians in May. The bodies belonged to Indigenous children as young as three years old who had attended Canada's state-sponsored "residential school" system.

The schools, which were spread across the country, were designed to eradicate Indigenous peoples' culture and languages.

The findings have refocused the world's attention on this heinous chapter in Canadian history, left deep wounds in hundreds of communities, and sparked new calls for justice against the Canadian government and the churches that ran the schools for decades.

As of September 2021, more than 1300 unmarked graves have been found across the sites of five former residential schools.It drew attention to one of the most heinous chapters in that country's history.

Charles Manson convinced his followers to murder 9 people in an attempt to incite a race war. Shoko Asahara ordered his followers to release sarin gas in a Tokyo subway killing 13 people.Marshal Applewhite of Heaven’s Gate convinced his followers to castrate and kill themselves in the belief that it would help them to ascend to a higher plain. Jim Jones convinced more than 900 of his followers to kill themselves. All this was done by using influence and control techniques.

Although the Watch Tower has a history of flip flopping with regard to some of their doctrine, their followers are still encouraged to obey them even if it makes no sense.

#JehovahsWitnesses #EXJW #GoverningBody

Norway, which has a national Church but no national religion, is one of those countries where religion is literally subsidized by taxpayers; the more members you have, the more money your preferred religious (or Humanist) organization receives. Any "religious" group with 50 registered members is eligible to apply for state funding, and over 800 groups receive it.

The law is very clear about the types of religious and non-religious organizations that can receive that money.There are, however, some rules that govern that allocation:

If a religious or philosophical community, or individuals acting on behalf of the community, commits violence or coercion, makes threats, violates children’s rights, violates statutory discrimination prohibitions or in other ways seriously violates the rights and freedoms of others, society may be denied grants or grants may be suspended. This video breaks down the reasons behind the defunding of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Norway.

Amongst Jehovah’s Witnesses it was memorial season. It was celebrated memorial will be celebrated on the 15th of April this year of 2022. It is a big occasion for Jehovah's Witnesses as people get invited to attend. Interested ones, family members who have faded away from the religion, even those who have been disfellowshipped are invited. Although they end up sitting in the back of Kingdom Hall.

Core to Watch Tower doctrine is that only 144,000 humans will go to heaven, where they are to rule as kings and priests. This number is based on misinterpretation of Revelation 7 and 14, and also proven false by Watchtower's own statistics of the number of partakers since Jesus.Most Jehovah's Witnesses are not considered part of the 144,000 and do not expect to go to heaven. Rather, they believe themselves part of the Great Crowd that will never die, but rather reside forever on earth. One of the results of this doctrine is that most Jehovah's Witnesses do not partake of the bread and wine emblems in memorial of the death of Jesus. Only remnants of the 144,000 are permitted to.

#JehovahsWitnesses #EXJW #Disfellowship

The Western Cape High Court has dealt another major blow to the construction of Amazon’s new African headquarters in Observatory in Cape Town.

The developers behind the R4-billion River Club mixed-use complex with Amazon as anchor tenant have been denied leave to appeal a court order halting construction.

The court’s deputy judge president Patricia Goliath struck the application down, stating she had carefully considered her judgment and concluded that the arguments raised against it were without merit.

So the fight is not over and it remains to be seen what the Supreme Court of Appeal will decide.
