I'm trying to post the video, but the name of the youtube channel is named Micheal Rankin. He suddenly stopped making youtube videos.
Can't post in google chrome.
Okay, never mind here it goes:

Yeah he list one of his intrest as computers and sex. I was dying laughing. He stopped making vidz after 2011, wonder what happened? . I have a theory: He probably couldnt take the so called apostates sending him messages so he had a J-Dub meltdown.

I maintain that there can be no such thing as "inaccurate knowledge." Knowledge is "what is known, facts and information." Accurate knowledge is a JWism. I've never heard that term from anyone else. "Inaccurate knowledge" is like saying "untrue fact." It is oxymoronism at its finest.

Joileete thanks for sharing this! There are more and more of these types online every day. My YouTube channel JWStruggle has a fresh comment from a JW Apologist almost every day of the week.
And worse, these guys are voting down comments and websites like this one using WOT (Web of Trust) and other voting methods to suppress anything critical of the WT constantly.

That is so funny. He is the type of witness that you will
waste your time trying to open his eyes. The same old BS,
who are the only ones knocking on doors, using the name
Jehovah. The ones straddling the fence but will defend the cult
to his dying breath. He remind of a guy I saw in a club, before
he saw me he was trying to talk to every female in the club.
He saw me, shock he came over and attempt to encourage me
to come back.LOL

raymond f:: Thanks for the Greek lesson. I still can't get my head around how "knowledge" could be inaccurate. All knowledge has to be accurate, doesn't it? Otherwise, it would not be knowledge, but misinformation.

It is debateable whether "epignosis" means "accurate" knowledge. We know for sure that it is an intensive form of "gnosis" - knowledge - because of the "epi" prefix. But what does this prefix indicate?
Most lexigographers believe that whereas "gnosis" simply means "knowledge" in the intellectual grasp of factual information, "epi-gnosis" would indicate a fuller understanding of its moral or ethical demands. Indeed, the word is used, in its twenty occurrences in the NT, only to the relationship that "epi-gnosis" has of spiritual matters.
For instance, believers need the "epi-gnosis" of the Son [Eph 4:13], the "epignosis" of the Will of God [Phil 1:9, Col 1:19, etc] and the "epi-gnosis" of the mystery that is Christ Himself [Col 2:2, 2Pet 1:8, 2:20]. There is also the possibility of being an absence of "epi-gnosis" when it comes to God [Ro 1:28]. The Israelites had, according to Paul, a zeal for God, but this was not based on "epi-gnosis".
There is also the possibility of having an "epi-gnosis" of sin [Ro 3:20] and of The Truth [1 Tim 2:4 etc]
Just as Mum [you from Aussie?] is aware of the tautology of saying "accurate knowledge", most lexicons will define "epi-gnosis" as "full" knowledge, or "complete" knowledge. The emphasis then, is on its totality rather than its accuracy.
One can have less than complete knowledge of God, which could lead to a missapplied zeal for God as in the case of the first century Jews.
Oddly enough, the NW"T" translators admit this in the use of the verb form of this verb, "epiginosko". Twice they translate this verb as "fully know" [Matt 11:27] and twice as "know fully" [Lu 1:4, Ac 22:24]
