Keep it simple. Tell him you watched the video and that you were shocked as to how they whitewashed their own history and how it was so hard to trust anything they say.

Caleb's Mother Is A Thief!
by Joe Grundy inthe definition of theft under the theft act 1968 is a person is guilty of theft if he dishonestly appropriates property belonging to another with intention to permanently deprive the other of it.

The 'Message" is spread into 700 languages...SO WHAT??? Big Deal!
by stuckinarut2 inyou know how the org goes on and on about how the "preaching work" takes place in so many languages by the website?.
they also trumpet the fact that witnesses are in "sooooo many lands and nations"....... so what!.
just because the message is spread far and wide, does not mean the content of the message is correct or of value.. take the example of coca-cola or mcdonalds.... these products are in nearly every nation around the world....but does that mean they are beneficial or healthy?

It is amazing that they have only translated their own bible into 120 languages, either in whole or in part, they are not specific about that.
They are more interested in translating their own words rather than the word of God.

JW TV Streaming
by Wild_Thing ini was telling my sister (who is also no longer a jw) how they have a jw broadcast channel now and stream their propaganda all the time.
so i decided to check it out again, and right now anthony morris is on there bashing higher education.
my mother has recently told me that the jws have lightened up about that issue and it is okay to pursue higher ed now.

It's not all higher education that they are bashing, mainly University education that requires four or more years. For instance, you can study to be a nurse but not a Doctor. -

I'm sorry to inform you Mrs. Johnson, but.....you've got 'governing body'
by Esse quam videri inmrs. johnson, our team has been working on your case for a number of weeks.
the money disappearing from your bank account, the constant confusion about 'watchtower teachings', such as the shifting understanding of the 1914 generation, the jw.org logo that seems seems to appear in the strangest places, the singing cart song that you can't get out of your head.
our experts have finally come to the conclusion that.

If you can't accept where the jw religion is today then you just aren't keeping up with Jehovah's chariot. -

Who is Gog of Magog? - Watchtower May 2015
by jwleaks inhere we go again... let's study... news report... comment.... who is gog of magog mentioned in the book of ezekiel?.
for a number of years, our publications have explained that gog of magog is the name given to satan the devil after his ouster from heaven.
this explanation was based on the fact that the book of revelation identifies satan the devil as the leader of the worldwide attack on gods people.

The one thousand years can't be much of a paradise if there will be so many people displaying a murderous attitude. -

In a nutshell they are now saying that
(Ezekial) Gog of Magog refers to a coalition of nations and will be destroyed at Armageddon
(Revelation) Gog and Magog those who rebel against Jehovah and will be destroyed at the end of the 1,000 year reign.

We all know that JWs think that the world hates them and take it as a badge of honor. Like all their beliefs they don't just come up with these ideas on their own, they come from indoctrination through the JW publications.
Here's what they are being taught in their May 2015 Watchtower magazine
<<17 Pride, materialism, and sexual immorality are just three weapons at Satan’s disposal. There are many more. For example, some Christians face opposition from family members, ridicule
from schoolmates, or even restrictions on their preaching work from governmental
authorities. Such hardships do not surprise us, for Jesus warned his followers:
“You will be hated by all people on account of my name, but the one who has endured to the end will be saved.”
—Matt. 10:22.>>They are saying that opposition from family members, ridicule from schoolmates and government restrictions from authorities are all demonstrations of people hating JWs. This is such a blatant lie, oh wait, some of it is possibly true, school kids that tease a JW kid because he doesn't have a birthday party is doing so because he hates him, not because he knows that he definitely won't be invited..
These are just terrible things to be teaching others. Their thought that other people hate them because of normal human behaviour is typical of this cult. The non JW husband or wife who doesn't want their JW spouse spending more time in the field service or is told not to donate so much at the Kingdom Hall, or the JW child who is getting teased by the other children because her dress uniform is too long and it goes on and on, these are all behaviours that the JW is taught that demonstrate hatred towards them.
So on this list of people that hate JWs are non JW family members, which could include brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters simply on the basis that they disagree with and actively attempt to prevent them in doing some particular JW service. It also includes anyone at school who may tease a JW child. Fancy telling your young child that kids at school are teasing you because they hate you.
Whoever wrote and authorized this article needs their head examined.

It's funny really, they're having another stab in the dark as to whom Gog of Magog is but they are going to wait and see who the King of the North is.
