According to the bible, to WTS teaching, we are all pawns in this world. They may give us false hope that there is some utopia of life to come after death or after "Armageddon", but we are just pawns. We are nothing, guilty of sin, worthless of life, lower than shit.
Nice outlook on life eh? I hate this fucking religion. Sorry, this week and reading the whole elders manual had just put me in a pissy mood.
Great video Sab, good thinking. I will say that I hope this is cathartic for you by making these videos, because I couldn't waste my time doing what you do. But I do appreciate your work, and for that thank you!

A lot of why I make these is for me personally, but I would like to hope that through all the criticism of the WT a possitive message shines through. A message of coexistence.
Maybe I will play a small part in the tearing down of religious intolerance, and a small part would be more than enough :)

Good job, but it's going to be way over the heads of most JWs.
Discussions of big words like "sovereignty", or questioning the validity of the nakedlady/talkingsnake story, are beyond their grasp. You need to somehow include the promise of eternal youth and pet tigers... very soon now. That's the carrot that keeps them going d2d and not questioning things.

I agree, that's why the videos are not intended for JWs, only ones that are looking to leave or already have.

Good vid sab,
This actual theme is what bothered me for a long time in my last few years as a witness. The crux of the JW idea of the 'theme of the bible', that being sovereignty, just didn't cut it with me. I saw genesis as being the clay feet of a very flawed book. Also, with your arguement about the book of Job, I kind of saw the whole thing being like the plot from Eddie Murphy's 'Trading Places'. Mankind being the pawns in a big bet.
I really couldn't get my head around the idea that such a perfect creator could just abandon his first creations with a manslayer. Jehovah didn't think to appear and save his creations from a manipulative liar.... the whole thing smacks of a cobbled- together myth from early eastern cultures. Genesis is just way too simplistic and doesn't deal with any important points. It reads like a passive account, in brief detail.
Cheers

Great analogy!
