It's 449 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: all of everything that I was told about the world 450 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: and how it acts and interacts. It's true. It's a 451 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: cold world doesn't care about you. I don't think the 452 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: world loves you. All that is true, you know what 453 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying.

I 463 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't be at the I would be in the Bible 464 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: Service meeting it's like just looking at the clock saying 465 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: how long? How long? Is this gonna tell you what 466 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying. But when I got older and started like 467 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: going back and like reading up and seeing I was like, yeah, 468 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's really very very logical, you know what 469 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it was like and like I said, 470 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: a lot of what they were saying was true. So 471 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: it was just like I just thought to like look 472 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: at things like in a different light, you know I'm saying, like, 473 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: look at them things in a different light.

Jehovah is 487 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: actually if you go go back and do the research, 488 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: it's actually the name of God. Everybody like thinks that 489 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: God is God's actual name, but it's not. It's just 490 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: a title. God actually has a name, and God says that, like, 491 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: in order to really know him, we have to know 492 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: his name. And his name is Jehovah. And like his 493 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: name I used to actually be on the money back 494 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: in ancient times, but they removed it. They removed his 495 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: name from the Bible, like his name was in the 496 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Bible over seven thousand times, but they removed his name 497 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: and they replaced his name with titles like Lord and 498 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: God and Almighty and stuff like that. So they tried 499 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: to how they identity of who God really is. So 500 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: that's what your witnesses are. But Muslims say that his 501 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: name is a lie. But if you look at the 502 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: if you look at the if you look at the 503 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: the definition for a lot of the translation for a 504 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: lie translate God. Yeah, that's not it. It ain't. That's 505 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: a title. A lie is a title. It's not a 506 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: personal name, just like a king or you know, a 507 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,360 Speaker 1: king or president. Those are titles. So let's say I'm 508 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: a Christian, Well, let's say I'm a man of God, 509 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: and uh, I just don't believe in this Jehovah thing. 510 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 1: But I believe in God, I just don't. I have 511 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: a difference in opinion on what exactly his name is. 512 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: Can I get to Heaven? Yeah? What? What the what 513 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: the thing is? Like? Joe's just don't like you don't 514 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: like tell people, don't They don't try to persuade people 515 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: like what they should or shouldn't be, or tell you 516 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: that you're not going to heaven and hell. Jehovah's witnesses 517 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 1: don't even have the it's crazy, it's not crazy. But 518 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 1: they have the belief that only a hundred and forty 519 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: or four thousand chosen people are going to heaven and 520 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the rest of the people ares are supposed who God 521 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: chooses is supposed to remain on Earth forever in a 522 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: different situation though not like we see the earth now, 523 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: but like in different circumstances because God's original purpose when 524 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: he created us was the man to live forever on earth. 525 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: The only reason that was messed up is because what 526 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: the devil done and like the monkey wrench he threw 527 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: in the game. So but it says that God's are 528 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: really no purpose has never changed. He still wants humans 529 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: to live forever on Earth and turn it into a 530 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: paradise eventually. And he said that that's going to happen. 531 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: So if only a hundred and forty four thousand people 532 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: can make it into heaven, how many do you think 533 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: of that right now? Wherever that haveing? Is? How many? 534 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: How many people? What? What are the Jehovah Witness is 535 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 1: saying the county is right no, no, no, well was 536 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: for angels, like you don't said, God says, it's just 537 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: just mirriads and myriads of angels. That's billions and bigger 538 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: love angels. But um, as far as the husband and 539 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: forty four thousand, like, we have no clue as to 540 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: how many have what the county is died and when 541 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: you don't saying like you don't know if it's one 542 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty three thousand, nine hundred nine and 543 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: nine thousands. But but but they basically go by what 544 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: the scriptures said. The scriptures say that it was a 545 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: hundred forty four thousand, So that's the number that you 546 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: don't say. That's the number they're good with pretty much. 547 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: So all you people out that is trying to make 548 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: it here, and I'm gonna let y'all know right now, 549 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: ain't enoughing room for all to y'all. I don't care 550 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,959 Speaker 1: what y'all got going on. I don't care how faithful 551 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: you've been. Some of y'all ain't gonna make it. But see, 552 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: this is the thing though, like se conceived that people 553 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: people lack the understanding of what God's original purpose would 554 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: God's original purpose was for people to live forever on earth. 555 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: You don't want to live forever on earth. They want 556 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: to dying over to heaven. But but like if if 557 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: if if they but see they you have to understand 558 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: what the conditions on earth would be. It's not going 559 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: to be like we see it, like like God made 560 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: us like like like when he made this, we were 561 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: never supposed to grow old, to die, gets sick. None 562 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: of this was supposed to happen. We're supposed to live 563 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: eternally forever like and what messed it up again when 564 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: when Adam and Eve chose to they chose to be disobedient, 565 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: be disobedient, but they were influenced by the devil, and 566 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: God told them, like you know what, saying like like, 567 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: y'all can have ever lasting life all this if you 568 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: don't just just don't eat from this trick. So the 569 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: reason why is because they willingly chose. They willingly chose 570 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: to just a big God. The devil influenced them, but 571 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: he didn't make them. He didn't make him like he 572 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 1: influenced them, and they thought he told them that they 573 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: would be like God, and they believed it, and they 574 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: ate the fruit and they do. It's kind of like 575 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: what's happening right now in society. A lot of evil, 576 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: wicked people at the top who are sending orders down 577 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: and saying, this is how y'all need to behave, this 578 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: is what you need to support, this is what you 579 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: need to be doing, and if you don't do it, 580 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna wreak havoc on you. It's gonna be 581 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: bad for you if you don't jump on board. You 582 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: must think the way we want you to think. And 583 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: if you don't do that then we're gonna do this 584 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: to you. And a lot of people seem to be 585 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: so afraid of the boogeyman that they'll compromise whatever morals 586 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: they do have so that they they're not exiled, you know, 587 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: so that they're not ostracized. Yeah, it's hard. Why do 588 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: you think it's so hard for people to stand for 589 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: something like they say? Okay, I see a lot of 590 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: people changing their their views and their morals based on 591 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: society or norms, whatever society says, that's what we're doing now. 592 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: Then they just switched. No matter what they thought or 593 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: how they felt. It didn't happen internally for them. It's 594 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: just something that they saw that they heard they tuck 595 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: in from Because man, that that goes to show that 596 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: people need a leader. God created us, like God created 597 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: us to depend on him. But we're depending on humans 598 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: and that ain't working. It ain't never worked. We keep 599 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: listening to what they say. Humans have lied to us 600 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: over and over again. God has not lied to us 601 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: one time. Everything that he said, what's going to happen 602 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 1: and it comes true has happened. And and choose there 603 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: is evidence. I guarantee you the things in the Bible 604 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: can be proven. I guarantee you. And like we constantly 605 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: give man these chances over and over again, they constantly 606 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: slap us in the face, constantly go down to these 607 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: pose and you vote over and over again for these 608 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: empty promises. I don't care who it is. If they're humans, 609 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: they cannot that. They cannot change what's going in on. 610 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: Man is in over their end, over their heads, is 611 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: already beyond them. What's going on in the world now. 612 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: They cannot reverse what's going on right now. The only 613 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: person that's going to change this is God. That's bottom line. 614 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: Like and and people need, people need a leader. But 615 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: they're following the wrong They they they they following man, 616 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: which is the wrong leader. Like you know what I'm saying, 617 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: because man don't even know how to lead itself. They can't. 618 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: Like these these people that's leading us, the people in 619 00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: the White House, they they still be so busy arguing 620 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: amongst themselves and they ain't got time to tend to us. 621 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: They arguing about power, what we need. That they don't 622 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: give a damn about what we need because they they're 623 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: focuses on who's going to keep the power. That's all 624 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: they care about. And in the meantime, all the people suffer, 625 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: but they keep playing this game with us, going and 626 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: vote for this one. He got your back, No, we don't, 627 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: And it ain't that. Some of these people ain't got 628 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: your back when they give vote, it ain't nothing they 629 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: can do because when they get in, you get all 630 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: these other people over here fighting against what they want 631 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: to do, and it never gets done. So we played 632 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: this cycle. This cycle goes on and on and on, bro, 633 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: and people keep voting for the same cycle instead of like, Okay, 634 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: look I'm gonna just wait for God. I'm not you 635 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like I don't see what y'all 636 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: going to do. Like I don't see what y'all can do. 637 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: It's nothing since the beginning, since man has rude over man, 638 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: it has been nothing period. It ain't nothing they can do. 639 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: Man said a mouthful with that one exactly. There's nothing 640 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: they can do. So do you vote? No, not even locally. No, 641 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: don't vote, don't get involved with politics, don't because there's 642 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: nothing they can do. It's it's it's like I heard 643 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: people saying, you know, um not where it ain't no 644 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: good candidates, So I just picked my poison. So so 645 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: so so you mean to tell me like this, this, this, 646 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: this kind of stuff is life change, and like it's 647 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: like that's that's you wouldn't go to purchase a house 648 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: and they had two options that you didn't like, you 649 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: would wait till you found the option that you like. 650 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: Like God, God has already given us that option.

I mean we met it 998 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 1: before because Easy had took us to his house, you know, 999 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:43,799 Speaker 1: like for barbecue, any business.

So so this is what I 1003 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 1: tell everybody. I started off going down this road of 1004 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 1: the conspiracy, like looking into these things and like you know, 1005 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,759 Speaker 1: like I started talking about them. But as I did 1006 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,840 Speaker 1: further research, man, you know what I'm saying, I started 1007 00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,799 Speaker 1: to see like that some of these things has never 1008 00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 1: been proven, some of these things are just speculation. Some 1009 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 1: of this stuff, you know what I'm saying. Like, so 1010 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: I backtracked and like changed the the concept and the 1011 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,240 Speaker 1: content of the whole show to where like I'm basing 1012 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: it off like pure facts and things that I know 1013 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,840 Speaker 1: to be true and things that are happening. You know 1014 00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't want to go off speculation 1015 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 1: and leave nobody down the wrong path. And then you 1016 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,280 Speaker 1: know that people be looking at me like I'm crazy. 1017 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,880 Speaker 1: So I'm sticking with the facts of what you know 1018 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,200 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, what's going on, Like some of that 1019 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 1: stuff is like crazy, but like I said, I've never 1020 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 1: seen no actual facts of some of this stuff. I 1021 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past these people to be doing this stuff, 1022 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:54,040 Speaker 1: but again I've never seen it, like just just like 1023 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past that there is a Illuminati, 1024 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,120 Speaker 1: but again I've never met or seen nobody for the 1025 00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,399 Speaker 1: motherucking Illuminati that I know of, you know what I'm saying. 1026 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: So it's like I said, so I don't know, but 1027 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,160 Speaker 1: for real, So why do you stopped the show?
