A JW posted this video as evidence that 99% of Jehovah's Witnesses CSA cases are falsified. I tried to open it but could not...perhaps because I am in Canada. Is there any substance to his claims based on the video?

607-608 questions from readers ***.
romans 6:7 reads: for he who has died has been acquitted from his sin.

6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.7For he that is dead is freed from sin...18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.The idea that by dying sinners pay for all their sins in life fits Watchtower wishful thinking theology.
But Romans 6:7 is talking specifically about anointed Christians. We, who are dead in Christ are to live after the Spirit. Just as those who die physically are free from further sinning, so should the Christian, being dead, live free of sin.
Unlike the anointed who have received the gift of justification, the majority of mankind are on another wider path that leads not to life, but to destruction. Jesus did not give sinners a false warning. He did not say, you don't have to repent as long as you die you will end up in paradise. Rather he said “If you do not repent you too will die in your sins!” Sinners will be resurrected to condemnation and judgment; they will have to give an account for everything done in secret. Some will face more severe consequences for their actions than others. But ultimately the destiny of the wicked on the broad path is eternal destruction.

Why the WATCHTOWER doesn't believe in the GREAT APOSTASY but you should!
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/i4uttjj7eus?si=0b-fzpqm8axb_d3p.
in its latest april 2025 watchtower study article 17 and paragraph 12 the watchtower promotes 2 dangerous lies that will cost your life if you are a believing christian during the time of the end, so i'm considering today the first lie in the first part of the paragraph, but first let's read the paragraph itself: "today, jehovah promises to provide us with spiritual protection.
he will never allow satan to corrupt true worship.

I agree that much in the New Testament that is applied to by futurists to our day, really describes events that occurred in the first century.

Are JW's brainwashed?
by snare&racket ini know as a jw i concluded several times that i was not brainwashed as i was not some unautonimous zombie and had not experienced anything akin to.... .
but in reality, brainwashing is a control of thought and ideas over a person and changing the way they think.
in normal life such sentences are not used, in fact they are highly discouraged... .

How Do JWs Understand Salvation & What Is Needed to Obtain It?
by LauraLynn infrom my experience within the jw organization, i understood that salvation meant a person accepted the teachings of the wbts without question as the "faithful and discrete slave," thereby placing their trust in them, not jesus christ.
salvation consisted of being found "righteous" by jehovah and resurrected to everlasting life in an earthly paradise.
to obtain this salvation, one needed to obey the organization's teachings, remain a faithful jw, and lead a moral life.

In more recent years it seems they have dumbed down the message to avoid offending people.
“We just don't know” seems to be their current stance, but that contradicts over a century of previous teaching.
Throughout their history they taught that everyone, even professing Christians, are on Satan's side. Only those associating with the JW organization and obeying the Governing Body are true Christians, and have any chance of surviving the great tribulation.
"Only Jehovah's Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil." Watchtower 1989 Sep 1 p.19
“At this stage of the affairs of man, it is absolutely impossible for anyone, professed Christian or otherwise, to stand independently of the one organisation that is bearing witness worldwide to Jehovah, his goodness and supremacy in accord with the 145th Psalm and, in fact, in accord with all the Scriptures." Yearbook 1982 p.259
“During the great tribulation, it will be just as imperative that we follow the leadings of the holy spirit and obey Jehovah's instructions through his organization." w91 9/15 p.17

Theocratic Warfare and Taqiyya
by aqwsed12345 inthe concept of strategic deception exists in several religious and ideological contexts.
in this article, we will explore and compare the theocratic warfare doctrine of the watchtower society and taqiyya in islam.
both concepts have parallels in their mechanisms of permitting deception for religious purposes but differ significantly in their application and historical roots.. 1. theocratic warfare: the "rahab method".

They dont actually have any scriptures to directly quote in order to justify lying to non-members (or “using theocratic warfare” in JW-speak). Instead they infer from certain scriptures that even Jesus didn't always tell the truth:
Jesus did not always disclose the full truth - Awake! 2000 Feb 8 p.21
Jesus Christ himself refrained from divulging total information when doing so would have caused needless harm. (John 7:1-10) He said: "Do not give what is holy to dogs, neither throw your pearls before swine." Why not? So that "they may never . . . turn around and rip you open."—Matthew 7:6." Watchtower 2004 Nov 15 p.28
Furthermore, in order to further the interests of their cult, the members are ordered to hide the truth from “god’s enemies”.
From time to time letters are received asking whether a certain circumstance would justify making an exception to the Christian’s obligation to tell the truth. In reply to these the following is given: God’s Word commands: “Speak truth each of you with his neighbor.” There is one exception, however, that the Christian must ever bear in mind. As a soldier of Christ he is in theocratic warfare and he must exercise added caution when dealing with God’s foes. Thus the Scriptures show that for the purpose of protecting the interests of God’s cause, it is proper to hide the truth from God’s enemies." - Watchtower 1960 Jun 1 pp.351,352 Questions From Readers
In case you’re wondering, an “enemy of god” includes non-members, former Jehovah’s Witnesses and… I cant believe I’m saying this… Jehovah’s Witness children.
You may get Jehovah’s Witnesses on here claiming they’ve never heard of “theocratic warfare”. But that is just another example of them using “theocratic warfare” on you.
You know, like a cult?
