No More Seats in Heaven - Reserved for Jehovah's Witnesses Only
Send us a text In this video, JT from EXJW Critical Thinker breaks down the absurdity behind the Jehovah's Witness belief of the 144,000 — a symbolic number that they treat like an actual headcount for heaven. For over a century, the Watchtower has kept followers focused on this limited number, creating pressure, confusion, and division. With the memorial season bringing in record numbers and a heavy push to recruit old contacts, it’s time to call it what it is: a number game that’s gone too...

Jehovah's Witnesses and the Paranoia Trap
Send us a text Paranoia isn’t just a passing fear—it’s a powerful tool used to control people. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how paranoia is woven into the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the lasting psychological impact it has on members. Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught to fear the outside world, believe that Satan is lurking behind every corner, and view former members as dangerous. This constant state of fear isolates them from society and keeps them loyal to the organizatio...

Jehovah's Witnesses: Fear and the Mechanism of Control
Send us a text Many Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t realize that their fear isn’t natural—it’s taught.

In this explosive episode of EXJW Critical Thinker, JT & Lady Cee break down how the Governing Body manipulates emotions, weaponizes isolation, and uses fear to maintain control. 🎯 Inside this episode, we exp...

Jehovah's Witnesses: Are Their Failed Teachings the Closest Thing to the Truth?
Send us a text What do you do when an organization claims to have the truth—but its predictions keep failing? Do you keep trusting them, or do you start asking questions? Jehovah’s Witnesses have a long history of failed predictions—Armageddon in 1914, then 1925, then 1975, then “the generation that will not pass.” But instead of admitting they were wrong; they just keep moving the goalposts. And now? Many Jehovah’s Witnesses justify it by saying, "Well, it was the closest thing t...
