Property investor Stephen Lett preaches against materialism

(Rebuttals Sushi no. 440 - Reviewing JW Broadcasting September 2022) Documented evidence of going in halves with his brother Tim on a $500K investment property despite taking a vow of poverty isn't going to stop Stephen Lett ordering you to quit being materialistic.

Both of my parents followed this advice their entire adult life. My father died in 2018 and now my mother, who is 84, lives with us because she can not afford to live by herself.

I once had an elder, who btw bought a new car every year, stand in my modest kitchen and accuse me of being materialistic. At this time, both my husband and I were working full time to be able keep a roof over our heads, along with having some serious health issues, so we were having trouble getting to meetings. And while this elder was alone with me in my kitchen, bullying me, my husband was out in the yard pruning trees and refusing to come into the house to talk. All kinds of wrong going on here. The elder was not only in the wrong by being alone with me, he was afraid to go out in the yard to talk to my husband, the supposed head of the family. He made me feel I was a terrible person for missing meetings and putting the welfare of my children and my health ahead of attending meetings. Oh the arrogance of that man. 😅 I’m out now and free after 50 years of that nonsense and never felt happier and content in my life.

Would the 8 gurus of Warwick refuse a donation of 10 million euros from a very, very rich JW? Would they qualify his gift as improper?
Despite his ultra-comfortable life, this JW would be considered a standout example. Would this generous JW be called a materialist? No, as long as the money goes into the Watchtower's pocket.

I want to see 200 thousand subscribers on your channel please ! Let’s get this fire 🔥 burning… These guys are terrified of honesty!

I think what Lett is getting at is that if he can get naive witnesses to believe materialism is wrong, then whatever money they might have spent on material things could now be donated to watchtower, perhaps for the completion of their new media center. We all know how they operate on sowing guilt into the psyche and then finding a scripture they can twist to back it up, and then to say how it pleases Jehovah to make such sacrifices. Their rhetoric is so transparent.

What is the point of remaining poor with no basic needs, I remember I once took that route and man that was settling up future poverty. The top guys (Elders) said simple life but they had all papers and materialistic, from then I said no more. I had to live for myself and am better mentally and physically despite being constantly pressured to go back to the congregation. 👌🏽 Lloyd

I feel bad for all the PIMI JWs who never question the last days, they are the real miserable ones who are desperate and honestly I feel terrible knowing they have a high chance of not waking up against the governing body and living their whole life as a slave

Little property investors, grab hold 'em tightly! Mine....mine....mine!

My JW parents recently sold their 3 bdrm house for a 5th wheel, and they are miserable. But somehow, I guess that's the way to be in this religion - the more miserable you can demonstrate yourself willing to be in this one life you now know yourself to have, the more worthy you are of a great life in the next world the leaders of this religion are promising you if you buckle down and give them the little extra money you don't even have. That, and recruit more people to do the same. Does Stephen Lett have a side job? Where did he get that $250, 000 to invest with his brother? Is his brother a JW? If not, isn't something so intimate as a business investment with a worldly person a big no-no? My parents are firm believers in this religion, but even after 50 years have no actual status in it or recognition, as they've never pioneered or risen up the ranks. But they sacrifice everything but the very basics materially in submission to it. But even then, it's probably not enough based on the complete standards. Very sad.

He's gotta be nuts ! He's already said that we are in the last of the last days and yet he's buying property ? Doh !

[lennymoretti]

Ok Lett, get rid of all your worldly possessions!!

[gbunting]

I never knew what a temporary resident was till Mr Stephen Lill-Ett held forth on the matter

[daniellamcgee]

Kids, follow the influence of a cartoon character to donate your ice-cream money to Mr. Lett's waterfront investment.

“You want to be totally self-unaware on this scene.” - nailed it.

[Lovealwayswins]

May all ex JWs become extremely wealthy and build a soup kitchen next to every Kingdom Hall! What a bunch of bullies… they do nothing for anyone! Final part of the final part of the end of this cult!

[Markypoo-poo--Beans]

Lloyd I love your videos, that expose these fraudsters for what they really are. Keep the videos coming Lloyd.

[emmasimmons]

Thank you Lloyd for your outstanding and refreshing reasoning as always!!!

[daisytilly]

I take it Stephen's brother is no longer a witness do we know any information on why he left and if he is disfellowshipped?

[richardwilliams]

I'm disappointed Lett's brother doesn't have the same vocal style.

[philippabrealey]

What's sad is that all these "believers", not bothering to make what they can of this "temporary" life (and I don't mean materiallistically) will eventually slip into oblivion without ever becoming aware that their promised afterlife just isn't there.
