Surviving Paradise

After being appointed by means of holy spirit ...by Jesus Christ himself, Tony Morris was 'fired' from his kingly post as a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. Let's take a look back at his life at the top, including his connection to Charles Taze Russell, the rare ex Governing Body Hall of Fame he is now a part of, as well as some supposition, predictions and 'guesses'... and as always, we got questions!

The Big A. Apostasy. No word or accusation is feared more by a baptized Jehovah's Witness. If you question anything from the ten guys in upstate New York, they can destroy your entire life, alienate you from family and friends... and that's the 'easy' part. They plan on killing you at Armageddon. We take a look at how the Governing Body has apostasy all wrong, how it damages millions... and prove from their magic book that they clearly don't know their 'god' … or his son.

In the Governing Body's ongoing attempt to control every aspect of a Jehovah's Witness life, they have always had plenty to say about television and movies. But while counseling us all on the dangers of E.T., the Brady Bunch and Netflix & chill, they seemed to forget about the content of their own modern day videos.... and uh, that book Jehovah game them. This episode is:

The claim is that Jehovah wrote the perfect book for all of mankind. A book that makes you 'fully competent' and 'completely equipped' for anything life throws at you. Do Jehovah's Witnesses really believe that? Do they lean into the Bible when making decisions about birthdays, healthcare, relationships and more? We take a look a look at what "God's Word' says versus billions of pages of other books and magazines... and we have some questions!

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has an obsession with persecution. Tragically, thousands of JW's have died remaining loyal to a publishing company; some of which was avoidable! Today, publishers are consistently fed messaging, images and videos reminding them they too will face persecution. Why? Are children exposed to this stuff? Are world governments really worried about people preaching fairy tales and passing on birthday cake? We take a look.

WARNING: Their literature features gruesome experiences, some of which will be shared.

Jesus is making moves! The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses added two new 'kings' to their ranks this week... at a time when they teach that the world is ending. Any second now. We take a look at who the new guys are, how such universe altering news was handled and where the entire 'doctrine' of the Governing Body came from. HINT: no apostles were interviewed.

It's tattooed onto your brain from a young age as a Jehovah's Witness: 1 Corinthians 15:33, "Bad associations, spoil useful habits." The Governing Body likes to point at Dinah of Bible fame, as someone who made a bad decision on friends. Let's take a look at how everyone outside the 'organization' is a 'bad person' looking to corrupt your character, including the kids in the neighborhood, your workmates, the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote and anyone else not following the eight guys in upstate New York!

Love is in the air … but it comes with rules if you're a Jehovah's Witness! We take a look at the Governing Body's rules on dating and courtship, including what qualifies as dating, chaperones, what it means for women... and a look at wise King Solomon's pointers on all things romance from the Song of Solomon!

Being a parent in Jehovah’s Witnesses is filled with some bizarre and painful stuff. A parent’s entire purpose in life isn’t to enjoy their children, but to get them to a baptism pool before Armageddon hits. In a set of bizarre observations, VERY few JW parents set a good example, study with their children or even believe this is a life and death matter. When the child leaves the organization as an adult, they shift to believing in ‘spiritual loopholes’ that aren’t true… and don’t seem to take responsibility for their failure to make little Jehovah’s Witnesses. We take a look at the bizarre thinking and actions of JW parents, both good and bad… and share the Governing Body’s teaching that any child not baptized as one of their disciples is doomed to destruction at Armageddon.

Why are Jehovah's Witnesses forbidden to celebrate Christmas? Their website, built by 'holy spirit' and the Governing Body, gives four reasons why they aren't allowed to celebrate Jesus birth, have a tree, put up lights or give gifts to family. We unwrap these presents from heaven … and what's inside is both insulting and absurd.
