This video is not about laughing *at* or attacking people. Rather, I think it's a good opportunity to get a glimpse at Jehovah's Witness culture, unfiltered as they ever are amongst each other. If you look up these individuals, I ask that you approach them gently and with kindness. Remember that we all used to be these people, and we want them to know we would welcome them on the outside. I will not be providing direct links, so as to discourage dogpiling.
This video is extremely demonetized due to the music in the TikToks. Many thanks to my patrons, whose support enabled me to bite the bullet on this one. patreon.com/mentallydiseased
