Channel Title: The Irregular Pioneer Channel Channel Description: I'm a former Jehovah's Witness Elder & Regular Pioneer who has come to understand the truth about "The Truth". My goal is to inform active JW's, and non-JW's about the organization in a way that you will never hear at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. I also seek to be a voice for those who realize that they are in a fraudulent organization, and for those who have left the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. I plan to cover topics including, but not limited to: •Issues and Inaccuracies in JW doctrine •My personal experiences as a congregation elder/ministerial servant and regular pioneer •Cult like attitudes within the JW religion •The odd history of the Jehovah’s Witnesses <video> Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Elder Stories: My First Judicial Committee Description: On this episode I tell you the story of the first judicial committee I served on as a Jehovah’s Witness Elder. It wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be... And for all of the non-JW & never-been-a-JW viewers, I give a little explanation upfront of what a judicial committee is and how it works. Spoiler Alert: There’s no holy spirit on these things. It’s just three dudes coming to a decision. As I mention in the video, PLEASE take a look at Shepherd The Flock of God aka the secret elders handbook. Transparency should be present in EVERY religious organization, and I think it is only right to know ALL of the rules and policy you have to face as subject to the evil power of the Pharisees...I mean as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses under the rule and policy of the Governing Body. You can find the secret elders book (and many more “secret” JW documents) on avoidjw.org & faithleaks.org. </video> <video> “I’m a Jehovah’s Witness, but i’m having doubts. What should I do?” Description: What’s up folks! I’m back! You wouldn’t believe how often I get this question from active JW’s on social media. So here’s my opinion on what to do. Hopefully this will help a current JW. I love the audio quality in the man cave (peep the lawnmower in the back! lol). </video> <video> Book Review: Leaving The Witness by Amber Scorah Description: Today i’m reviewing “Leaving The Witness” by Amber Scorah! This is truly a fascinating novel, by a former Jehovah’s Witness Missionary. Her story is a must read whether you were one of Jehovah’s Witnesses or not. It is a window into a world that many do not understand. And I guarantee that you will learn something from this book! </video> <video> 2 common sense reasons proving that Jehovah’s Witnesses are in a cult Description: I’m back! Just wanted to drop a quick video and hopefully help your talking points for the next time you’re discussing why JW’s are in a cult. Sorry I look a little rough, I was up early doing yard work lol. See you folks again soon! </video> <video> Jehovah’s Witness Snitching Culture Description: In this video I attempt to quickly discuss the Jehovah’s Witness snitching culture, and why it is a hallmark of cults. I also mention how Jehovah’s Witness LOVE to snitch because they feel it is their scriptural duty based on Leviticus 5:1, but they somehow often forget the words at Matthew 18:15. And of course I share a personal story in my life when I got snitched on. Please share with me your JW snitching stories in the comments! The best (or the funniest) story will be pinned in the comment section! By the way, if you’ve never heard of Steven Hassan’s BITE Model, you can take a look at it here: https://freedomofmind.com/bite-model/ </video> <video> Jehovah’s Witness Leader Proclaims It Is “The Last Day of The Last Days” Description: Jehovah’s Witness Governing Body members, Stephen Lett and Anthony Morris III just can’t seem to hold their tounges when it comes to utter excitement over COVID-19. How loving of them... *sarcasm* -Jwfacts.com article “Changed Dates :: Failed Predictions”: https://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/1800s.php -Anthony Morris III really loves scotch: https://youtu.be/HR4oBqrQ1UY Fair Use Note: All statements made in this video are only my personal opinion as a former member of the Jehovah's Witness religion.

I wonder why?... Oh yeah, it’s probably because it wasn’t an orchestrated advertisement to join their church. Here’s the link to the JW Funeral Discourse Outline: https://faithleaks.org/wiki/documents/4/41/S-32-E-16.pdf Pay attention to how much emphasis is put on becoming a Jehovah’s Witness to gain comfort, and how little attention is put on the deceased.

This is presented in response to the rampant accusations of child sexual abuse in Jehovah's Witness congregations. The problem is, there are examples of dishonesty, lack of information, refusal to take responsibility and galling logic gaps in the article. Please take the time if you have not done so, to look up: -The 2015 Australian Royal Commission -Jehovah's Witnesses secret database of child molestors -JW child abuser Gonzalo Campos -JW child abuser Jonathan Kendrick -The JW Child Abuse policy letter to elders -🚨 IMPORTANT CORRECTION FOR ACCURACY🚨 : The number 1,006 uncovered during the Australian Royal Commission refers to the number of abusers never reported to police. I misspoke and said that it was the number of victims. (Which actually makes it much worse, that there were 1,006 known abusers, and AT LEAST 1732 victims.) https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/07/27/426756849/australias-jehovahs-witnesses-failed-to-report-1-006-alleged-child-sex-abuses https://avoidjw.org/en/arc/arc-child-sexual-abuse-the-bare-facts/ (Apologies for the audio issues, I had some technical difficulties with uploading.

If you didn’t already know it, judicial committees are cruel and dumb. </video> <video> How My Old Congregation Tried To Cover Up Domestic Abuse (Ex-Elder Stories) Description: I’m back with a sad story about a family and an elder body from my old congregation. Trigger warning, there are vague descriptions of domestic violence. These stories are hard to tell, but need to be told. Check me out on instagram at @irregularpioneer! </video> <video> The Watchtower Organization Has Some Legal Issues When It Comes To Child Sexual Abuse...Again. Description: The Jehovah’s Witness organization has again come under the microscope for their weak responses (and sometimes cover-ups) to/of child sexual abuse. The mainstream media has noticed. This scrutiny has come especially since the New York Child Victims Act has come into effect as of August 14th, 2019. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/jehovahs-witnesses-child-sex-abuse-lawsuit-1453610%3famp=1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-jehovahs-witnes-sexual-abuse-lawsuit-20190812-benjcqrlozeyjl3gi3nlidc37u-story.html%3foutputType=amp https://www.law.com/newyorklawjournal/2019/08/12/ex-jehovahs-witnesses-to-file-lawsuits-under-new-child-victims-act/?slreturn=20190715180735 Also, the Jehovah’s Witnesses legal department is appealing to the US Supreme Court to allow them to use the “priest penitent privilege” (something they’ve criticized the Catholic Church for in the past).

We all were impacted by certain things on the way to us totally freeing ourselves of JW propaganda. Here’s how the 2018 “Be Courageous” Regional Convention helped to plant seeds of doubt in my mind.

Feel free to add any other reasons in the comment section where you think Watchtower is overly image-conscious. Also, i’d love to do a video where I just answer some questions from commentors, so please feel free to shoot some questions at me, and i’ll answer as many as I can in an upcoming video!

Description: Today is my birthday! So I decided to take a few minutes before we celebrate to talk about why the JW prohibition on birthday’s doesn’t hold water.
