Stephen Lett tells messed up persecution story

(Rebuttals Sushi no. 258 - Reviewing the 2021 Annual Meeting - Part 3 of 4) A persecution story related by Stephen Lett involving the vicious beating of a Jehovah's Witness raises questions for those who believe in an interventionist God.

My channel is made possible through the generous support of my viewers, including hundreds of patrons. If you would like to support my work, you can do so using the following methods:

Though I am deeply touched by the considerable interest in my work, I kindly ask that viewers do NOT try to contact me using Facebook. I very rarely use Facebook as a means of communicating with people and I have unfortunately received hostility from people whose Facebook messages have gone unanswered. If you send a voicemail or JWsurvey email, and your request is urgent, either myself or one of the team of JWsurvey volunteers will attempt to respond. Otherwise, please understand that my time is stretched between my work as an activist and my private life, including my responsibilities as a father and husband. As much as I would like to make myself available to each and every person who reaches out to me, this will only occasionally be possible. I appreciate your understanding.

129 in prison because of their faith.
How many are in prison for child abuse? How many should be in prison for child abuse?

“A few seconds had passed and we no longer felt the beating” - Yeah …. that’s probably your body going into shock. Framing it as “holy spirit” is some Mother Teresa levels of bullshit.

So Stephan Lett, besuited, safe before a compliant audience, relates a tale of persecution, and walks off to applause .Quote a few scriptures, and home to a comfy bed. It’s a tough life

[gbunting]

The trouble with this organisation is that the leadership can come out with this claptrap indefinitly and the rank and file lap it up

[tessuntangled]

This small group of vulgar creatures angers me deeply. They have no compassion, no connection, no authentic love. This is so disgusting!!! Thank you for your videos.

[BethHeadley]

Let’s compare this same scenario to child abuse. Why wouldn’t god stop that?? It’s trauma whether it’s physical or mental and it’s something they have to live with forever!!

Lloyd, as a suggestion, can you maybe interview a body language expert on your channel to analyze Stephen Lett, Tony Morris and others? Besides the weird gymnastics Lett does with his face, at 1:07 he shifts back & forth on his feet; as he’s done many times before. I think a body language expert would have a field day with these guys, as there’s a treasure trove of data to extract from their non-verbal behavior.

Don't be a coward like Jeffrey Jackson on trial at the Australian Royal commission.

[jillcassill]

the cowardly governing body would never suffer for their faith.

Always get a chuckle when these rather soft fellows talk about going to battle. These people are literally terrified of Smurfs.

I probably will be announced this week during the next meeting that I'm no longer under protective wings of organization... I had an email from the elders in reply to my official mail letter of disassociation, and I read the questions whether I'm absolutely sure what I'm doing, do I understand that I will be treated like a disfellowshipped, etc... Darn, I hope so! Finally no more sweet like honey attempts to get me back!
I do understand why they think they do what is right, but repeating to me that this is 'very serious matter'... I advised them to search for the Equality Act 2010, and check what it says about the types of discrimination - and I asked whether they are aware that they might be breaking the law? - oh yes, this is serious matter!
You bet I was annoyed.
So far, I've got no reply.

I can’t imagine Stevie here handling torture very well. But that’s beside the point…this kind of fear mongering and so on is just crazy

[ccuddlez]

Persecution is a mainstay of the JW faith. Every single assembly or convention always has a talk (or talks) reminding JWs that they are the true religion because they have been, or will be, persecuted for their faith. It’s been this way since their inception.

[bearwoody]

Not feeling the beating sounds more like a dissociative episode. Appalling, and so sad.

[indelyn]

And if you’re a loyal JW, and find yourself being beaten and Jehovah’s spirit doesn’t kick in ? And you can’t be a coward?

[eddiejoseph]

Mark Sanderson grossly underestimated the number of JWs in prison for there beliefs. It’s not 129 but 8 million.

He/they dare to talk about Christian nuatrality when an elder here in the UK worked for the United Nations as an expert advisor for land management and was vice chair of STAP-GEF (UN), while giving talks at both circuit assemblies and conventions.
Professor Michael Stocking was also on the HLC enforcing the ever changing blood doctrine.

This is a HEINOUS CRIME that is PERPETUATED AGAINST CHILDREN!! As a CHILD I GREW UP wondering EVERY NIGHT if ARMAGEDDON would come during the darkness. Hmmm.wonder if that had ANYTHING to do with my CONSTANT INSOMNIA when I was small?😉😅😅 THIS IS CRIMINAL! AGAINST A population that has NO VOICE, VERY LITTLE RIGHTS....CHILDREN!

[xavierajames-wilkes]

There is something wrong with Lett. He’s trembling. i speculate that he knows he’s lying through his teeth.

[MrDMC]

Lloyd are you going to discuss The Gilead Graduation ? It would be nice if you could do a rebuttal to the latest circuit assembly. There are some real issues.
