The video is clips of WT produced videos though, isn't it? I think it's just extracted clips of various WT videos with new music added. I know I recognized a lot of the disturbing imagery from actual WT videos, but I haven't watched them all (thankfully).

Caleb and Sophia Video Mashup to Hard Knock Life
by Wild_Thing ini thought this video was pretty well done and mildly entertaining to watch.. on another note, i am really hoping some clever ex-jws will do their own animation series with caleb and sophia as young adults trying to leave the org.
that would be awesome.

Look at how many times they can find the kids with their heads down in shame in those videos. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. The message of Jehovah's Witnesses is shame.

Thanks. David really goes deep in his story and it is quite the story. The sexual abuse and typical JW response to it was a big part of his awakening, but his story is so involved and there's so much to it. It's kind of one of those stories that touches on so much that pretty much anyone can identify somewhere in it. I don't normally announce things in advance, but I'm hoping that others that have gone through such abuse might find some comfort in knowing that they aren't alone in their feelings by hearing someone speak directly as to their experience.

My wife and I just watched this an enjoyed it thoroughly. Now, we're both new to this new way of seeing life, evolution, etc., so I can't speak to the accuracy of things, but it makes sense and we thought it was well done.

Best way to deal with anger at the GB while waking up?
by CovertsadJW ingood morning everyone , .
i am wondering how people have personally delt with the anger at the gb when waking up and realizing it’s a scam, lie , and it’s awfully depressing .
i have had difficulty concentrating at work , have had an emotional roller coaster between okay days and awful days.

$160/hour?!!!! We'll do it here for $100/hour!
Okay, I don't know if this helps or not, but a new trend seems to be online therapy through sites like talkspace.com. I've never used it, but you can do text and/or video chat, maybe more. I hear it advertised on some podcasts and it is highly recommended by the host of one show that actually uses it after years of in person therapy. He updates his own journey and seems to genuinely like it. Just a thought.

What to Do....Please Help. Awakening JW for a very long time
by CovertsadJW ingood afternoon , .
i have been having doubts for many years and as most jw's i have certainly not done myself a favor by suppressing all of my critical thinking.
i am married with 3 kids and my wife and i are inactive, but my wife has made it very clear in speech and action that she wants to go to all meetings, field service, and indoctrinate our kids.

@Covertsadjw - There is a grieving process to go through just like with a death. Look up the steps of grief and you'll go through them all. You may need to vent your anger. Reading here helped me, as did posting occasionally with a rant if necessary to let it out. Unfortunately you're still living in the middle of crazytown, so that's going to make it harder.
The anger comes in waves. I still get that way at times. It's all a process of processing. Decades of cult involvement don't just go away. I heard it said that it's like deleting a file on your computer. It doesn't show up but it's still there and recoverable. Over time things get written over it, bit by bit, but it takes a long time to go away and is still recoverable by programs or experts.
Maybe going to a therapist for help in processing and dealing will help. Or go to one of those places where you get to break stuff in a room for a price, lol. Music helped me at times. A good angry throwdown song released some pressure.

@Never a jw - Well, they also spoke as to how things went in situations where one parent leaves the religion and it turns out that there seems to be a bias toward to one parent that stays in. The religious person is typically favored, and they in cases like this may have things on their side that are seen as stable like family and community.
I'm not trying to get into an argument and don't care enough to. I don't want to derail this guy's thread. Your comment just brought up something that I had literally just listened about.

Calling Cofty and others regarding evolution
by dubstepped inso i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.
i heard it recommended on an atheist podcast that i listened to.

Oh dear baby Jesus I'll believe in creationism again if it will make this hot peppery mess stop patting himself on the back. Or maybe this is a great test for evolution, to see if humans can actually grow an appendage for just that thing over time. I think we might have the start here on this thread.
