UPDATE: Part 1 went viral and garnered over 40,000 views in less than 5 days! Dozens of websites, forums, and social media sites have picked up the story, focusing on the injustice and 19th century thinking that is presented by three local Jehovah's Witness elders. It is very gratifying to receive so many positive emails and comments on what brave Isaac has done. Many of us feel it is vitally important that these life-altering kangaroo courts are documented and brought into the light of day so that more people can make an informed decision about the Jehovah's Witness religion and it's propaganda arm, JW.org. In Part 2 the men that work as line managers for the global Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Incorporated laugh at Isaac and even poke fun at him in at least two places. He tries to explain that the loss of his parents, wife, and all his friends has weighed heavily on his mind and heart. They respond by saying that "no one is forcing him" to attend this meeting or stay in the controlling religion. Isaac battles their bigotry and small-minded thinking with facts, reasoning, and grace. --------- General Description from Part 1 ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As many of you that visit this channel know, the Jehovah's Witness religion does not allow people to have freedom of thought and belief. If a person changes their viewpoint and questions the JW hierarchy and leadership then they will be sanctioned. If a member adopts an "unacceptable" opinion or conviction and dares to speak of it, then the local religious leaders (called Elders) will come after them, using an iron fist in a velvet glove to bring them back in line. If that fails, then they will cut the person off and ostracize them before everyone, announcing them from a public pulpit as a satanic person, not fit for anyone in their club to associate with ever again. And so now, for only the second time in the history of the Internet, we have a front row seat (and a live video recording) of another "Apostasy Trial" put on by the Jehovah's Witness religion. This two-hour meeting revolves around a man named Isaac. His so-called sin is speaking out about the flaws and contradictions he has discovered through studious research into the religion of his birth. He is summoned to stand before a puritanical committee of three JW clergymen, without representation and without friends or witnesses to speak up in his behalf. The Watchtower Corporation that controls this pseudo-religion does not want a stenographer, nor a camera, nor any other witnesses to this kangaroo court proceeding. They want no public record of what goes on. These three men act as judge, jury, and executioner and hold his "everlasting life" in their hands. If found guilty, then he will be spiritually executed and stoned for his "disobedient, rebellious acts" against the Watchtower organization's strict dogma. But the silver lining is that nearly 100,000 people each year fade away or are kicked out of the controlling religion. Ironically, this grants them opportunity to pursue freedom and clarity of thought. Isaac is now yet another person that has been freed from the religious bondage to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York! This video is part 2 of a multi-part series covering just one of the thousands of these secret star chamber trials conducted by JW elders each year. We leave it to posterity and to each viewer to decide if these trials are appropriate and just.
