Talking with Jehovah's Witnesses - June 2017 - Disneyland

In this video I talk with a Jehovah's Witness engaged in public witnessing in Downtown Disneyland, Los Angeles. Rather than confront him, argue with him, or try to win him over, I try to explore his mindset and compare it with mine. The results are intriguing!

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 JW Watch email, and your request is urgent, either myself or someone else 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.

What a sweet man…good job Lloyd, you were so calm and sincere…as was he.

[kroxxy]

"I know a little bit" 🤣🤣🤣 you crack me up.

[MrCouchIncident]

Beautifully done. While critically discussing this man's faith, you were kind and polite; as I would expect from you. I sense compassion in your words. Very well done by introducing possible cognitive dissonance without being cruel.

Great conversation, David is clearly a sincere man who is deep thinking and intelligent. I love that you were respectful and that his responses were open and from the heart. Well done!

You're a good egg Lloyd. This is how it should be approached. Most other videos the apostate seems aggressive.

[Ashboob]

Lloyd, how you approached and steered this conversation shows the grace and thoughtfulness of someone who is from the upper echelons of humanity, the respect and restraint was refreshing, thank you for sharing

[AussieGirl]

Great example of how to interact respectfully with witnesses.

[unknownday]

Respect to both of these men for leaving their egos out and having a great conversation on such a complicated subject!

[leeleemee]

Very civil exchange. If this could take place in this way between families, friends, coworkers, neighbors & world leaders. Imagine what a different world experience we would all have🤔.

"Everything was much more peaceful in the 1940's" it was not that peaceful in europe

[hannahbeth]

So compassionate. Great conversation.

I hope David’s doing well. What a nice guy. Xx

[nicoletitov]

Him: 1940 was a much more peaceful time.
WW2: Am I a joke to you?

[sundance]

Sitting by a cart at Disneyland and counting time...Now THAT is a sweet gig.

[melissajuarez]

That guy seems so nice. I'm sorry he got indoctrinated

[stephanelaliberte]

Definitely one of the best reverse teachings I have seen. Everyone, note the respect shown here! Letting the JWs express themselves while, politely, presenting counter thoughts. Excellent conversation. Congratulation!

If there is one thing this guy can take away of this conversation is that God will destroy billions of people without giving them any true evidence of his very existence. Sure, he may keep going on with this for years, but that thought will always be there, nagging and disturbing him until he chooses to stop the cognitive dissonance.

[Nepthu]

This David guy was sincere and nicer than most people I know. My little experience with witnesses is that they have bad tempers when challenged. This guy was so down to earth.

[kristinaberger]

I have so much empathy for David, you could tell he was nervous. Well done to both Lloyd and David for listening to one another and having a respectful conversation.

[billsdoris]

Very well done Lloyd. There were so many times you could have gained a point as it were, but you stuck to the main aim of evidence. That really is the way to go I think.

[chernandez]

Imagine if this guy wakes up one day and then Lloyd interviews him. That’s would be interesting 🤔

[annemariefrank]

Congrats to you, Lloyd, for such a beautiful and respectful exchange!! I learned a lot from your incredibly calm and caring way to talk to David! I guess we need much more of that in these times of polarisation and agressive communications on social media. Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
