Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,600
I'm sorry, Jehovah.
2
00:01:03,237 --> 00:01:04,540
I'm ashamed really.
3
00:01:10,613 --> 00:01:13,550
The doctor went on
about my condition.
4
00:01:18,221 --> 00:01:21,189
She didn't care before.
5
00:01:21,191 --> 00:01:24,096
It's a big deal to her
now I'm turning 18,
6
00:01:25,364 --> 00:01:27,968
'cause it's my decision now,
you see.
7
00:01:31,071 --> 00:01:32,137
She even said...
8
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,108
She was convinced
9
00:01:35,110 --> 00:01:37,309
that the hospital saved my life
when I was born
10
00:01:37,311 --> 00:01:39,580
and that my congregation
tried to stop it.
11
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:43,682
But you do realize
that the reason you're alive
12
00:01:43,684 --> 00:01:47,022
is because the hospital gave you
blood when you were first born,
13
00:01:47,024 --> 00:01:49,124
when the priests tried
to stop it from happening.
14
00:01:49,126 --> 00:01:51,396
Elders, not priests.
15
00:01:54,231 --> 00:01:55,599
She don't understand.
16
00:01:57,603 --> 00:02:00,405
I mean, can you believe
she tried to do a deal with me?
17
00:02:02,441 --> 00:02:07,244
She was willing to give me another
transfusion if I ever needed one again,
18
00:02:07,246 --> 00:02:10,481
but without telling anyone.
19
00:02:10,483 --> 00:02:13,487
She said it'd be private like,
between me and her.
20
00:02:14,521 --> 00:02:16,422
No one needed to know.
21
00:02:16,424 --> 00:02:18,759
And I wouldn't tell your mum
22
00:02:18,761 --> 00:02:21,164
or anyone in the community.
23
00:02:33,578 --> 00:02:35,314
She did it well.
24
00:02:37,149 --> 00:02:40,021
You could tell she cared,
in a way.
25
00:02:43,390 --> 00:02:45,527
So, you didn't give it to her?
26
00:02:55,405 --> 00:02:56,772
That should do it.
27
00:02:56,774 --> 00:02:58,572
Can you put it
on Alex's records?
28
00:02:58,574 --> 00:03:01,711
It's up to date, and we've
had two witnesses sign it.
29
00:03:10,321 --> 00:03:12,621
Do you really
know what this means?
30
00:03:12,623 --> 00:03:14,493
She understands.
31
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:22,768
Some of these alternatives might
not work if you get really anemic,
32
00:03:22,770 --> 00:03:24,771
which would
put your life at risk.
33
00:03:24,773 --> 00:03:27,676
That's just your opinion.
34
00:03:34,683 --> 00:03:38,490
Come on. You can't
be too careful now.
35
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:40,825
I'm sorry, Mum.
36
00:03:41,893 --> 00:03:43,161
You're all right.
37
00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:47,165
How do you know, Mum...
38
00:03:49,402 --> 00:03:52,807
if you'll make it
into the New System?
39
00:03:57,576 --> 00:03:59,145
You do your best.
40
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,384
Some elders wonder
if they'll make it.
41
00:04:04,584 --> 00:04:06,419
What I mean is...
42
00:04:06,421 --> 00:04:09,693
no one knows
how God will judge them.
43
00:04:11,495 --> 00:04:13,962
So, you can't ever
be sure, then?
44
00:04:34,588 --> 00:04:35,923
Look at this, Alex.
45
00:04:41,596 --> 00:04:42,664
It was the first time I'd seen
46
00:04:42,666 --> 00:04:45,869
all these boys and girls
who had died for Jehovah.
47
00:04:48,939 --> 00:04:51,809
I was such a coward
compared to these lot.
48
00:04:55,478 --> 00:04:59,015
This one girl, Emma,
she was amazing.
49
00:04:59,017 --> 00:05:01,885
She told the judge that
they were abusing her body,
50
00:05:01,887 --> 00:05:05,525
and that she'd rip the needle out
if they tried to give her blood.
51
00:05:07,027 --> 00:05:09,364
So, the hospital
let her go home.
52
00:05:10,466 --> 00:05:13,235
She died in peace,
in her mum's arms.
53
00:05:16,471 --> 00:05:19,538
I wish I'd talked
to my doctor like that,
54
00:05:19,540 --> 00:05:21,544
so brave like.
55
00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:30,620
It just goes to show,
blood is the life force.
56
00:05:30,622 --> 00:05:32,988
It was so clear now.
57
00:05:32,990 --> 00:05:34,759
There's no such
thing as "the soul."
58
00:05:34,761 --> 00:05:36,392
Mum made it clearer than ever.
59
00:05:36,394 --> 00:05:40,601
That's for false religions,
like airy-fairy Catholics.
60
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:46,772
There's the body, and blood,
61
00:05:46,774 --> 00:05:48,572
and it's Jehovah's design.
62
00:05:48,574 --> 00:05:50,845
And to mess with it
is the worst sin.
63
00:05:52,379 --> 00:05:53,880
Not to mention worldly diseases,
64
00:05:53,882 --> 00:05:58,388
like AIDS and... HIV.
65
00:05:59,590 --> 00:06:03,692
Before we knew
what these diseases even were,
66
00:06:03,694 --> 00:06:06,762
God had warned us
about them in the scriptures.
67
00:06:10,069 --> 00:06:13,539
I ask for your forgiveness,
Jehovah, for my doubts.
68
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:18,843
I pray you give me
strength and guidance.
69
00:06:18,845 --> 00:06:20,281
In Jesus' name.
70
00:06:32,762 --> 00:06:34,632
- Morning.
- Morning.
71
00:06:42,741 --> 00:06:45,077
- How you feeling?
- I feel okay.
72
00:06:46,378 --> 00:06:47,814
Let me look at you.
73
00:06:50,049 --> 00:06:51,651
What's that?
74
00:06:53,086 --> 00:06:55,387
- The bank sent it you?
- Mm.
75
00:06:55,389 --> 00:06:56,925
You should send it them back.
76
00:07:00,962 --> 00:07:03,633
I'm gonna squeeze an hour in
on the trollies at lunch.
77
00:07:06,770 --> 00:07:07,837
Can you...?
78
00:07:10,073 --> 00:07:11,606
Thank you.
79
00:07:11,608 --> 00:07:13,911
I've made you some eggs,
they're in the microwave.
80
00:07:16,580 --> 00:07:19,519
- You two take care today, okay?
- Yes.
81
00:07:29,529 --> 00:07:31,464
You're gonna get car sick.
82
00:07:36,871 --> 00:07:38,741
So, how you feeling, anyway?
83
00:07:41,176 --> 00:07:42,712
I'm okay.
84
00:07:44,614 --> 00:07:47,151
I can't believe you're 18 today.
85
00:07:49,454 --> 00:07:51,122
The time's flying.
86
00:08:05,505 --> 00:08:07,204
What?
87
00:08:07,206 --> 00:08:10,713
I remember when Mum and Aunty
Linda went to one of those.
88
00:08:13,815 --> 00:08:15,983
Yeah. They didn't know
at the time,
89
00:08:15,985 --> 00:08:18,818
and then when they got there, they
were told it was a Buddhist practice.
90
00:08:20,056 --> 00:08:21,922
Imagine Mum's face.
91
00:08:21,924 --> 00:08:23,225
I know.
92
00:08:23,227 --> 00:08:25,994
She was fuming at Aunty Linda.
93
00:08:25,996 --> 00:08:28,733
She swore the Devil
had tricked her into it.
94
00:08:39,979 --> 00:08:41,981
Good pronunciation.
95
00:08:41,983 --> 00:08:45,988
So, what might be the usual
response to that, in our territory?
96
00:08:49,892 --> 00:08:51,858
Unemployment.
97
00:08:51,860 --> 00:08:53,627
Yeah.
98
00:08:53,629 --> 00:08:55,765
So, you could follow up with...
99
00:09:02,305 --> 00:09:05,975
Isaiah 65:22 would be
the best example here.
100
00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:10,749
Alex, would you like
to give that a go?
101
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:21,962
Good.
102
00:09:23,865 --> 00:09:26,898
Look, it's not easy
103
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:29,635
learning to teach the Bible
in another language,
104
00:09:29,637 --> 00:09:32,072
but what you're doing
is worth it.
105
00:09:32,074 --> 00:09:33,808
So, let's try enjoy it today,
106
00:09:33,810 --> 00:09:36,680
and keep in mind
the words of Matthew 24:14,
107
00:09:36,682 --> 00:09:40,651
"It's only once everyone has
heard the name Jehovah,
108
00:09:40,653 --> 00:09:42,723
that's when the New System
will arrive."
109
00:09:49,293 --> 00:09:50,359
- Salaam.
- Salaam.
110
00:09:50,361 --> 00:09:51,629
Salaam.
111
00:10:26,772 --> 00:10:30,108
He made that clear
in your book as well as ours.
112
00:10:30,110 --> 00:10:32,111
It don't really matter
which book.
113
00:10:32,113 --> 00:10:33,682
But, uh...
114
00:10:39,856 --> 00:10:45,394
And according to the Bible, you can
choose where you will spend eternity.
115
00:10:45,396 --> 00:10:48,996
And it tells you everything in this
leaflet. So, you can have a look.
116
00:11:14,194 --> 00:11:18,200
My art class has been changed this term.
It's on a Thursday night now.
117
00:11:23,106 --> 00:11:25,810
Is there not another module you
could take on a different day?
118
00:11:32,385 --> 00:11:35,655
Well, you can't miss meetings
just because of college.
119
00:11:37,423 --> 00:11:41,663
I know, I just need to do this one
class, so I can finish the course.
120
00:11:50,372 --> 00:11:56,043
The problem with this world is that
people let things like art or music
121
00:11:56,045 --> 00:12:00,050
take over their lives, and it
becomes a religion to them.
122
00:12:03,153 --> 00:12:07,059
Imagine when Jesus comes back at
Armageddon to destroy this world.
123
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:11,928
How is he gonna feel
when you're at college
124
00:12:11,930 --> 00:12:15,903
instead of with his
organization at the meetings?
125
00:12:22,978 --> 00:12:24,879
And then, we went
through the main factory
126
00:12:24,881 --> 00:12:26,312
where all the magazines
get printed.
127
00:12:26,314 --> 00:12:29,416
And from there, they go out
all around the world.
128
00:12:29,418 --> 00:12:31,351
Never been to Bethel,
never been to London.
129
00:12:31,353 --> 00:12:33,023
Oh, you must go.
130
00:12:34,123 --> 00:12:36,223
It's so inspiring like...
131
00:12:36,225 --> 00:12:39,430
to see all those brothers and
sisters living and working there.
132
00:12:41,032 --> 00:12:43,434
How amazing would it be
to dedicate your life like that,
133
00:12:43,436 --> 00:12:46,039
and not have to do secular work?
134
00:12:48,808 --> 00:12:50,211
Have, um...
135
00:12:53,112 --> 00:12:56,283
Have you guys ever heard
of demons tormenting people?
136
00:12:58,885 --> 00:13:00,287
Why?
137
00:13:00,289 --> 00:13:03,423
Because I... I think
there's one in the attic.
138
00:13:03,425 --> 00:13:06,159
- Are you being daft?
- No.
139
00:13:06,161 --> 00:13:08,964
No, I'm being serious. I can hear it
up there making noises all night.
140
00:13:08,966 --> 00:13:11,199
It's just house noise.
141
00:13:11,201 --> 00:13:15,537
No. No. Look,
demons do it.
142
00:13:15,539 --> 00:13:16,706
I mean, look, they mess...
143
00:13:16,708 --> 00:13:19,943
They mess with brothers and
sisters, right, that...
144
00:13:19,945 --> 00:13:21,846
- That happens.
- Right.
145
00:13:21,848 --> 00:13:24,914
And there's not much time left, and
you might think this is a joke,
146
00:13:24,916 --> 00:13:27,252
but I can...
147
00:13:27,254 --> 00:13:31,958
it's like I can physically feel them
trying to pull me away from the truth.
148
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,559
- It's probably just house noise.
- No!
149
00:13:33,561 --> 00:13:37,897
No. 'Cause like, it's...
150
00:13:37,899 --> 00:13:41,603
It's there.
It's just...
151
00:13:42,773 --> 00:13:45,341
And then I pray, and it just stops!
152
00:13:45,343 --> 00:13:47,975
And then the next night,
it's there again.
153
00:13:47,977 --> 00:13:50,110
Are you sure
you're not up to no good?
154
00:13:50,112 --> 00:13:53,515
Yeah. Why would a demon
be in your house?
155
00:13:53,517 --> 00:13:55,217
Don't you have
to summon one first?
156
00:13:55,219 --> 00:13:57,419
I don't know.
157
00:13:57,421 --> 00:13:59,024
I don't...
158
00:14:01,527 --> 00:14:03,531
A previous owner, maybe?
159
00:14:06,434 --> 00:14:08,368
You think I should
call an elder?
160
00:14:08,370 --> 00:14:11,538
They'll think you've gone
mental if you do that.
161
00:14:28,394 --> 00:14:30,196
Could you pass me the bag?
162
00:15:42,214 --> 00:15:44,580
Guys, this is my sister.
163
00:15:44,582 --> 00:15:47,017
Alex, this is Chloe,
and this is Umar.
164
00:15:47,019 --> 00:15:48,388
- Hey.
- You all right?
165
00:15:51,725 --> 00:15:54,130
I'm just dropping
these off, okay.
166
00:15:57,332 --> 00:15:59,400
So, what do you do?
167
00:15:59,402 --> 00:16:02,037
- Uh, I've got... I've got a gardening job.
- Ah.
168
00:16:04,273 --> 00:16:07,040
But we also pioneer.
169
00:16:07,042 --> 00:16:09,144
Oh, what's that?
170
00:16:09,146 --> 00:16:11,247
It's what some
Jehovah's Witnesses do.
171
00:16:11,249 --> 00:16:14,283
You guys are Jehovah's Witnesses?
No way!
172
00:16:14,285 --> 00:16:16,153
You never said.
173
00:16:16,155 --> 00:16:18,658
That's cool. One of my
neighbors is a Jehovah.
174
00:16:29,469 --> 00:16:32,136
You know, the
Greek word "stauros"
175
00:16:32,138 --> 00:16:35,073
is what they used
when writing the Bible.
176
00:16:35,075 --> 00:16:37,577
But the word "stauros"
doesn't actually mean "cross,"
177
00:16:37,579 --> 00:16:41,181
it means "upright stake"
or "pole."
178
00:16:41,183 --> 00:16:44,518
It was only in the fourth
century, when Christianity came,
179
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,092
that the word changed meaning.
180
00:16:48,094 --> 00:16:51,394
So, you see, Jesus wasn't
actually nailed to a cross,
181
00:16:51,396 --> 00:16:53,463
he was nailed
to an upright stake.
182
00:16:53,465 --> 00:16:56,200
The cross is a pagan symbol
used by false religions.
183
00:16:56,202 --> 00:16:58,338
She don't wanna know all that.
184
00:17:01,474 --> 00:17:04,610
- I just thought you should know.
- Well, it's a bit disrespectful.
185
00:17:04,612 --> 00:17:05,614
It's okay.
186
00:17:08,617 --> 00:17:10,217
So, what do you
guys believe in then?
187
00:17:10,219 --> 00:17:12,288
Going to heaven or what?
188
00:17:13,723 --> 00:17:16,557
Come on, I'm serious.
I wanna know.
189
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:20,162
God is gonna restore Earth
back to paradise,
190
00:17:20,164 --> 00:17:21,699
how he intended it to be.
191
00:17:22,867 --> 00:17:24,867
Like in Genesis,
that's where we'll live.
192
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:28,870
Right. So, what about
everyone who ain't a Jehovah's?
193
00:17:28,872 --> 00:17:30,473
God'll decide
what's in their hearts,
194
00:17:30,475 --> 00:17:33,643
but if they refuse to listen,
then they'll be removed.
195
00:17:33,645 --> 00:17:36,247
Well, so what's so wrong
with this world?
196
00:17:36,249 --> 00:17:38,550
It says in the Bible,
that this whole world
197
00:17:38,552 --> 00:17:41,321
is in the power
of the wicked one, Satan.
198
00:17:41,323 --> 00:17:45,359
- I don't know about all that. It's mad.
- Yeah.
199
00:17:45,361 --> 00:17:47,864
Yeah, well, you have to admit,
things happen that aren't right.
200
00:17:49,199 --> 00:17:52,470
You know,
all these wars all the time.
201
00:17:53,635 --> 00:17:55,838
And cruelty
to animals and that.
202
00:17:59,843 --> 00:18:02,511
Do you know, in Africa, they
kill thousands of rhinos a year,
203
00:18:02,513 --> 00:18:05,751
and they'll become extinct soon just because
of how greedy mankind is at the moment.
204
00:18:06,851 --> 00:18:08,251
Aw.
205
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:10,387
Sad, isn't it?
206
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:11,724
I love rhinos.
207
00:18:27,475 --> 00:18:29,280
Uh-oh.
208
00:18:31,515 --> 00:18:33,252
Get yourself wrapped up.
209
00:18:54,375 --> 00:18:55,577
Look.
210
00:19:04,853 --> 00:19:06,958
I haven't told anyone else.
211
00:19:15,331 --> 00:19:16,900
- Mum...
- Shush.
212
00:19:31,287 --> 00:19:32,621
Who's the father?
213
00:19:36,892 --> 00:19:38,629
Is he a brother?
214
00:19:42,699 --> 00:19:43,701
It's...
215
00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:46,937
It's a guy from college.
216
00:19:49,974 --> 00:19:51,942
Were you even going to tell us
if this didn't happen
217
00:19:51,944 --> 00:19:54,547
that you were messing
with a worldly boy?
218
00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:01,322
You should have told us.
219
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:06,260
Look what's happened. You've
let college go to your head.
220
00:20:21,812 --> 00:20:24,484
I need you to start
bringing him to meetings.
221
00:20:29,455 --> 00:20:31,924
You have to start
bringing him to meetings.
222
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,295
It's not gonna happen.
223
00:20:39,966 --> 00:20:41,602
Do you love him?
224
00:20:48,910 --> 00:20:52,581
Then you need to marry him and
start bringing him to meetings.
225
00:20:54,118 --> 00:20:56,852
I can't, Mum.
226
00:20:56,854 --> 00:20:58,854
It's the only way.
227
00:20:58,856 --> 00:21:01,659
Have you even talked to him
about the truth?
228
00:21:03,659 --> 00:21:05,530
He don't care.
229
00:21:07,698 --> 00:21:08,833
I...
230
00:21:13,707 --> 00:21:16,846
So, you've just decided
to forget everything?
231
00:21:32,930 --> 00:21:35,867
I know she still
has you in her heart, Jehovah.
232
00:21:39,603 --> 00:21:41,874
Maybe just not as strong.
233
00:21:47,513 --> 00:21:50,119
I did pray the elders
would see that.
234
00:22:06,236 --> 00:22:07,803
I'm sorry, Ivanna.
235
00:22:07,805 --> 00:22:09,505
How could they
disfellowship her?
236
00:22:09,507 --> 00:22:11,644
But she still wants
to be in God's organization.
237
00:22:13,846 --> 00:22:15,782
She's shown
little sign of repentance.
238
00:22:17,183 --> 00:22:18,152
I don't understand.
239
00:22:19,685 --> 00:22:21,751
Maybe you haven't noticed,
240
00:22:21,753 --> 00:22:26,591
but we can see, at this point, she's
really lost her relationship with Jehovah.
241
00:22:26,593 --> 00:22:29,730
We hope she works
on that, really builds it back.
242
00:22:32,700 --> 00:22:36,538
If you'd told us she was falling
away, maybe we could have helped.
243
00:22:39,842 --> 00:22:42,511
- What should I do?
- Jehovah's direction
244
00:22:42,513 --> 00:22:46,648
is clear about avoiding
any contact with wrongdoers.
245
00:22:46,650 --> 00:22:49,918
But she needs
help and support now.
246
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,220
We realize it's tough.
247
00:22:52,222 --> 00:22:56,626
You must keep any necessary
contact to a bare minimum.
248
00:22:56,628 --> 00:22:58,294
It's true, Ivanna.
249
00:22:58,296 --> 00:23:02,471
The less contact, the more it'll help
Luisa realize her error quicker.
250
00:23:24,094 --> 00:23:25,630
Alex.
251
00:24:27,871 --> 00:24:29,340
She'll be back.
252
00:24:36,146 --> 00:24:39,681
Sixty pounds
for gas and electricity.
253
00:24:39,683 --> 00:24:42,753
Water was twenty pounds.
254
00:24:42,755 --> 00:24:46,089
And the hall cleaning
will be handled
255
00:24:46,091 --> 00:24:49,998
by the Drakefield street group
this month.
256
00:24:51,432 --> 00:24:55,134
One more announcement this week.
257
00:24:55,136 --> 00:24:59,275
Luisa Whitling is no longer
one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
258
00:25:01,377 --> 00:25:02,613
Thank you.
259
00:25:18,330 --> 00:25:19,333
Sorry.
260
00:25:37,152 --> 00:25:41,122
- What's that about?
- It was probably fornication.
261
00:25:41,124 --> 00:25:42,925
Who'd have thought?
262
00:26:17,133 --> 00:26:18,470
Alex.
263
00:26:22,874 --> 00:26:25,043
I've just come
to get some bits, okay.
264
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:00,352
Alex...
265
00:27:06,491 --> 00:27:08,828
You're not gonna say anything?
266
00:27:11,898 --> 00:27:13,902
Do you think
this is easy for me?
267
00:27:15,169 --> 00:27:16,505
Maybe I...
268
00:27:17,939 --> 00:27:20,342
Maybe I did think
it was easy for her.
269
00:27:21,374 --> 00:27:24,046
She always just did
as she pleased.
270
00:27:30,286 --> 00:27:32,223
If it's hard for her,
then maybe...
271
00:27:33,256 --> 00:27:35,893
maybe she'll come back.
272
00:27:35,895 --> 00:27:38,529
Maybe she does need
your guidance.
273
00:27:40,167 --> 00:27:42,035
Let's go.
Come on.
274
00:27:51,246 --> 00:27:52,514
You got everything?
275
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,093
Mum asked me what I said,
but I told her don't worry.
276
00:28:06,095 --> 00:28:08,162
I knew I hadn't broke any rules.
277
00:28:51,283 --> 00:28:52,585
What do you think?
278
00:28:54,018 --> 00:28:55,955
Mum?
Is it too revealing?
279
00:28:57,324 --> 00:28:58,993
I can see your knicker line.
280
00:29:00,394 --> 00:29:02,662
With an underskirt,
it will be all right.
281
00:29:02,664 --> 00:29:03,999
Okay.
282
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:56,357
- Hello there.
- Hello.
283
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:58,528
- I'm Steven.
- Oh.
284
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:01,329
I'm a new elder here.
I transferred here this week.
285
00:30:01,331 --> 00:30:02,664
Nice to meet you.
286
00:30:02,666 --> 00:30:05,071
- What's your names?
- I'm Ivanna. This is Alex.
287
00:30:06,303 --> 00:30:08,539
Alex is a member
of our Urdu congregation.
288
00:30:08,541 --> 00:30:10,642
I can speak myself, Mum.
289
00:30:10,644 --> 00:30:13,780
Urdu? That's fantastic.
290
00:30:13,782 --> 00:30:16,082
Serving where the need is great.
291
00:30:16,084 --> 00:30:17,553
Thank you.
292
00:30:21,358 --> 00:30:26,395
Well, I just wanted
to say hi, so... hi.
293
00:30:28,598 --> 00:30:30,267
I'll see you around, Sisters.
294
00:30:31,668 --> 00:30:33,506
Hi. Steve.
295
00:30:46,185 --> 00:30:50,088
- Alex.
- I don't want to disturb.
296
00:30:50,090 --> 00:30:53,396
I thought Steven was doing a shepherding
call, but he's just here to...
297
00:30:54,463 --> 00:30:56,327
Well...
298
00:30:56,329 --> 00:30:59,069
- Do you want a brew?
- No, thanks.
299
00:31:00,770 --> 00:31:03,106
I'll wait in the sitting room.
300
00:31:06,877 --> 00:31:08,677
I didn't mean
to just drop in uninvited.
301
00:31:08,679 --> 00:31:10,179
No, that's okay.
302
00:31:10,181 --> 00:31:12,215
I live close by.
303
00:31:12,217 --> 00:31:14,388
Are you sure you don't want
a drink or something?
304
00:31:15,489 --> 00:31:17,856
- Maybe just a water.
- Yeah, sure.
305
00:31:17,858 --> 00:31:20,061
- I'll just, um...
- Yeah, of course.
306
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,470
Where abouts do you live?
307
00:31:29,505 --> 00:31:32,405
Just up the road.
Near the precinct.
308
00:31:32,407 --> 00:31:34,674
The flats there, they're
not as bad as they look.
309
00:31:36,278 --> 00:31:38,115
Do you live on your own?
310
00:31:39,214 --> 00:31:41,749
Yeah, my parents are down south.
311
00:31:41,751 --> 00:31:44,656
I just go wherever
I need to go, really.
312
00:31:45,857 --> 00:31:47,923
Your parents are in the truth?
313
00:31:47,925 --> 00:31:52,262
Mm. Yeah, they...
They both grew up in it.
314
00:31:55,368 --> 00:31:57,104
I like your accent.
315
00:32:05,347 --> 00:32:06,349
Um...
316
00:32:07,449 --> 00:32:09,284
I wanted to speak with you...
317
00:32:09,286 --> 00:32:11,556
'cause I'd like
to get to know you.
318
00:32:12,922 --> 00:32:16,160
- Sorry. Was that too on the nose?
- No, it's all right.
319
00:32:16,959 --> 00:32:18,161
I just, I don't...
320
00:32:20,831 --> 00:32:25,203
I don't know if you'd like me
if you really got to know me.
321
00:32:26,405 --> 00:32:29,742
- What... What do you mean?
- Nothing, sorry.
322
00:32:34,949 --> 00:32:36,318
You've got a nice house.
323
00:32:37,652 --> 00:32:39,786
So just you
and your mum live here?
324
00:32:39,788 --> 00:32:43,623
Uh, yeah. Well, I've
got my sister as well,
325
00:32:43,625 --> 00:32:46,195
but she was disfellowshipped.
326
00:32:47,996 --> 00:32:50,599
Yeah, I heard actually.
327
00:32:54,237 --> 00:32:55,908
Will she come back,
do you think?
328
00:32:57,343 --> 00:32:58,745
Hopefully.
329
00:33:00,412 --> 00:33:01,747
I'll pray for her.
330
00:33:10,324 --> 00:33:12,557
Mum's keeping guard.
331
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:20,934
Thank you for calling, Steven.
332
00:33:20,936 --> 00:33:22,769
- Yeah, see you.
- Bye-bye.
333
00:33:22,771 --> 00:33:23,973
Oh.
334
00:33:25,908 --> 00:33:27,675
- Bye.
- Don't work too hard.
335
00:33:33,518 --> 00:33:35,417
You know how I feel.
336
00:33:35,419 --> 00:33:38,421
You can either continue to play
house with this boy or you repent.
337
00:33:48,369 --> 00:33:50,372
Your sister's having a girl.
338
00:34:05,422 --> 00:34:07,021
Hey.
339
00:34:07,023 --> 00:34:10,492
- Hi.
- Sorry, I know you gotta go in.
340
00:34:10,494 --> 00:34:12,264
Um...
341
00:34:13,399 --> 00:34:14,801
I just, uh...
342
00:34:15,935 --> 00:34:17,500
I just wondered
if you and your mum
343
00:34:17,502 --> 00:34:20,338
wanted to come
to mine for dinner?
344
00:34:20,340 --> 00:34:24,743
Uh... Yeah, I'd need
to check with her, but yeah.
345
00:34:24,745 --> 00:34:26,412
Great.
346
00:34:26,414 --> 00:34:28,284
- All right, see you in a bit.
- See you.
347
00:34:35,459 --> 00:34:36,760
- Alex.
- Hi.
348
00:35:04,157 --> 00:35:06,792
It's serious, you know,
349
00:35:06,794 --> 00:35:09,463
if you're gonna court Steven.
350
00:35:09,465 --> 00:35:13,371
Marriage is still one of the
few things that are sacred.
351
00:35:16,673 --> 00:35:19,509
It's not like in this world, where
vows are thrown about like rubbish
352
00:35:19,511 --> 00:35:21,777
and all brides are loose women.
353
00:35:21,779 --> 00:35:23,114
I know, Mum.
354
00:35:26,951 --> 00:35:28,587
I think Steven's really nice.
355
00:35:29,622 --> 00:35:30,824
He is.
356
00:35:33,658 --> 00:35:35,530
He's very suitable.
357
00:35:59,590 --> 00:36:01,225
- You don't need to do that, Ivanna.
- I don't mind.
358
00:36:01,227 --> 00:36:03,227
No. No, it's fine.
Honestly. I can do it.
359
00:36:03,229 --> 00:36:05,166
- Okay.
- All right. Cheers.
360
00:36:13,608 --> 00:36:15,077
I had a nice time.
361
00:36:38,604 --> 00:36:40,207
We could do all right, us.
362
00:36:42,543 --> 00:36:47,246
You know, I've got my window cleaning
job, and you've got your gardening.
363
00:36:47,248 --> 00:36:50,453
I think, between the two of us, I
think we'd do all right, I reckon.
364
00:36:51,919 --> 00:36:55,523
Anyway, I'm working towards
becoming a circuit overseer,
365
00:36:55,525 --> 00:36:57,625
as soon as possible.
366
00:36:57,627 --> 00:36:59,559
Then we won't have to worry
about money.
367
00:36:59,561 --> 00:37:02,532
The Society'll take care of us
until the New System.
368
00:37:09,841 --> 00:37:13,045
I need to tell you, I have a...
369
00:37:14,178 --> 00:37:16,812
I have a condition.
370
00:37:16,814 --> 00:37:19,017
Like, I get anemic.
371
00:37:22,690 --> 00:37:27,192
When I was born,
I had to have a transfusion.
372
00:37:27,194 --> 00:37:31,235
Mum and the elders couldn't do anything
about it, the hospital forced it into me.
373
00:37:33,703 --> 00:37:35,606
We don't talk about it, really.
374
00:37:43,715 --> 00:37:45,681
Are you... Are you okay now?
375
00:37:45,683 --> 00:37:47,617
Yeah, I'm fine.
376
00:37:47,619 --> 00:37:52,689
I mean, they say it might, you know,
get worse, but, you know, I'm fine.
377
00:37:52,691 --> 00:37:53,894
I'm okay.
378
00:38:02,203 --> 00:38:04,003
Have I freaked you out?
379
00:38:07,908 --> 00:38:11,111
I was reading the literature,
just before,
380
00:38:11,113 --> 00:38:14,717
about the differences
between infatuation and love.
381
00:38:17,154 --> 00:38:21,157
It said one of the first signs of love
is that it can overcome obstacles
382
00:38:21,159 --> 00:38:25,165
where infatuation
would just run a mile.
383
00:38:36,909 --> 00:38:41,280
I know the brothers on
the Hospital Liaison Committee
384
00:38:41,282 --> 00:38:45,621
if you... if you need assistance
with medical stuff.
385
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:53,332
Yeah.
386
00:39:03,342 --> 00:39:06,176
I'm sorry, Jehovah,
387
00:39:06,178 --> 00:39:09,649
if I doubted the kindness
of my brothers and sisters.
388
00:39:10,885 --> 00:39:13,185
Morning, Alex. How are you?
389
00:39:13,187 --> 00:39:15,191
- Steven.
- Hiya. Good to see you.
390
00:39:18,427 --> 00:39:21,963
It is special to
be part of your organization.
391
00:39:21,965 --> 00:39:24,933
Alex. Take one, love.
392
00:39:24,935 --> 00:39:26,671
They look delicious.
393
00:39:28,705 --> 00:39:29,707
Wow.
394
00:39:33,345 --> 00:39:35,681
Steven has a kind heart.
395
00:39:42,355 --> 00:39:46,761
I just pray now that my sister will remember
what it's like to be part of your love.
396
00:39:56,304 --> 00:39:58,007
What's going on?
397
00:40:01,110 --> 00:40:03,713
I've just come
to sort things out.
398
00:40:12,191 --> 00:40:13,193
I've...
399
00:40:14,761 --> 00:40:15,998
I've left Umar.
400
00:40:35,084 --> 00:40:36,887
You know we miss you.
401
00:40:43,095 --> 00:40:45,098
We could help you with the baby.
You should come back here.
402
00:40:48,133 --> 00:40:51,204
And, you know, come to meetings
with us, then it'll all be okay.
403
00:40:57,979 --> 00:41:00,115
You still believe, don't you?
404
00:41:06,255 --> 00:41:08,525
I read things online.
405
00:41:10,161 --> 00:41:11,763
Like what?
406
00:41:13,230 --> 00:41:16,430
People say things about us.
407
00:41:16,432 --> 00:41:21,073
People out there are bitter, and they
want to put evil ideas into your head.
408
00:41:24,043 --> 00:41:27,978
You know, we believed Armageddon
was supposed to come in 1975?
409
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:31,149
Some Brothers even
sold their houses that year,
410
00:41:31,151 --> 00:41:35,186
and they took
their kids out of school.
411
00:41:35,188 --> 00:41:39,391
- What are you talking about?
- They're old truths, Luisa.
412
00:41:39,393 --> 00:41:45,801
Anyway, some brothers misunderstood the
message back then and got carried away.
413
00:41:49,073 --> 00:41:51,204
It's okay to have doubts,
414
00:41:51,206 --> 00:41:55,244
but we have to be humble.
415
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:58,116
If you don't
understand something,
416
00:41:58,118 --> 00:42:00,553
talk to the elders,
pray to Jehovah.
417
00:42:02,221 --> 00:42:05,290
Deep down,
you know we're God's people.
418
00:42:05,292 --> 00:42:09,594
There's no other religion out there
that is as true to His word.
419
00:42:09,596 --> 00:42:11,133
Mum...
420
00:42:13,001 --> 00:42:15,938
I just came here
to see if we could...
421
00:42:17,538 --> 00:42:18,874
be normal.
422
00:42:20,610 --> 00:42:22,246
Without this.
423
00:42:24,614 --> 00:42:26,484
It don't work like that.
424
00:42:34,358 --> 00:42:37,162
So, this goes on forever then?
425
00:42:44,504 --> 00:42:47,109
- Where you gonna go now?
- Piss off!
426
00:45:18,620 --> 00:45:20,720
- Hiya!
- Hiya!
427
00:45:20,722 --> 00:45:22,623
Hi, Alex.
428
00:45:22,625 --> 00:45:24,292
- You must be Steven.
- Yeah.
429
00:45:24,294 --> 00:45:25,794
- I'm Linda.
- Hiya.
430
00:45:25,796 --> 00:45:27,064
Come in.
431
00:45:28,333 --> 00:45:30,365
What you doing?
No, put that down, love.
432
00:45:30,367 --> 00:45:33,537
- I want a drink.
- Go wait in the other room. Go on.
433
00:45:33,539 --> 00:45:35,571
Go on. Go on.
434
00:45:35,573 --> 00:45:38,643
Now, we've got spag bol or chili.
What do you fancy?
435
00:45:38,645 --> 00:45:40,312
Chili, please.
436
00:45:40,314 --> 00:45:42,414
Oh, for drinks,
we've got cider.
437
00:45:42,416 --> 00:45:44,285
Put your coats over there.
438
00:45:48,523 --> 00:45:49,760
There you go.
439
00:45:51,860 --> 00:45:54,326
All right?
Gonna introduce us?
440
00:45:54,328 --> 00:45:56,329
This is Steven.
441
00:45:56,331 --> 00:45:58,298
- Hi, Steven. Barry.
- Oh, yeah.
442
00:45:58,300 --> 00:45:59,835
- You all right?
- Nice to meet you.
443
00:45:59,837 --> 00:46:03,805
I hear you're a Bethelite?
What's that like, working there?
444
00:46:03,807 --> 00:46:04,974
Yeah, it's good.
445
00:46:04,976 --> 00:46:07,242
Come on, Alex.
We've been waiting for you.
446
00:46:07,244 --> 00:46:09,378
Oh, I'm Michelle, by the way.
447
00:46:09,380 --> 00:46:11,414
- Yeah, hi.
- Do you want to come dance with us?
448
00:46:11,416 --> 00:46:12,950
Um...
449
00:46:12,952 --> 00:46:14,685
- Wash it down with some Scrumpy's.
- Yeah.
450
00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:16,790
Cheers.
451
00:46:18,925 --> 00:46:20,524
Oof.
452
00:46:20,526 --> 00:46:21,659
- Hot?
- Yeah.
453
00:46:21,661 --> 00:46:23,229
It was the week of the school,
454
00:46:23,231 --> 00:46:26,532
and it was my turn to say the dinnertime
prayer, and the Elder Steve says,
455
00:46:26,534 --> 00:46:28,937
"Would you say
the prayer for us?"
456
00:46:28,939 --> 00:46:32,708
And immediately, as I finished,
he says, "That was a bit short."
457
00:46:32,710 --> 00:46:34,678
Quick as a flash, I said to him,
458
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,747
"Jehovah listens to our prayers, it
doesn't matter," and everyone laughed.
459
00:46:38,749 --> 00:46:41,350
Okay now, shh.
You'll love this.
460
00:46:41,352 --> 00:46:43,154
- Yes.
- Hi.
461
00:46:53,733 --> 00:46:56,467
Okay, and...
462
00:46:56,469 --> 00:46:57,837
This baby is mine!
463
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:01,976
I warned her not to roll over in the night.
I said be careful.
464
00:47:01,978 --> 00:47:06,246
Her baby died,
but now she's took mine!
465
00:47:06,248 --> 00:47:07,884
Lies! I told her the same.
466
00:47:08,951 --> 00:47:11,252
What proof do you have?
467
00:47:11,254 --> 00:47:13,687
I know my child.
468
00:47:13,689 --> 00:47:16,294
Jehovah, help me!
469
00:47:17,628 --> 00:47:20,430
I will cut the baby
in two pieces!
470
00:47:20,432 --> 00:47:23,935
But, Solomon,
you can't cut the baby in half.
471
00:47:23,937 --> 00:47:27,674
Let her have him.
But don't kill her! Please!
472
00:47:27,676 --> 00:47:30,908
Yeah, go ahead. Chop it in half.
Am I bothered?
473
00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:35,981
A true mother doesn't
want to see her baby die.
474
00:47:35,983 --> 00:47:37,516
Aww!
475
00:47:37,518 --> 00:47:39,855
Well done!
476
00:48:40,594 --> 00:48:42,627
Alex?
477
00:48:42,629 --> 00:48:43,830
Alex?
478
00:48:48,804 --> 00:48:50,540
Alex, love!
479
00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,041
- Alex?
- What's going on?
480
00:48:58,516 --> 00:49:00,519
Steven, can you
get some water for her?
481
00:50:23,182 --> 00:50:24,647
If you can
just sign there, love,
482
00:50:24,649 --> 00:50:27,888
it takes about a week
for it to be assessed.
483
00:50:28,956 --> 00:50:30,689
Thank you.
484
00:50:30,691 --> 00:50:31,760
Bye.
485
00:50:46,141 --> 00:50:47,144
You okay?
486
00:50:50,847 --> 00:50:51,917
Yeah.
487
00:51:03,296 --> 00:51:06,569
It's been a while
since I've had to do one of these.
488
00:51:09,738 --> 00:51:11,473
Will her father be coming?
489
00:51:15,945 --> 00:51:17,981
Ivanna, I'm happy to help.
490
00:51:24,556 --> 00:51:26,755
Is it okay if Luisa comes?
491
00:51:29,595 --> 00:51:31,064
It's okay...
492
00:51:36,035 --> 00:51:38,872
Of course.
If she wants.
493
00:52:00,230 --> 00:52:01,295
Luisa?
494
00:52:40,076 --> 00:52:41,346
I should sit there.
495
00:53:16,820 --> 00:53:20,790
My glasses aren't steaming up
because I'm crying.
496
00:53:20,792 --> 00:53:23,262
It's because it's warm in here.
497
00:53:25,930 --> 00:53:31,004
And that's how you felt
whenever you were with Alex.
498
00:53:32,105 --> 00:53:33,976
She was shy...
499
00:53:35,175 --> 00:53:38,180
but she radiated Jehovah's love.
500
00:53:39,817 --> 00:53:44,753
Ivanna told me recently
that Alex would sometimes worry
501
00:53:44,755 --> 00:53:47,960
about how Jehovah
would judge her.
502
00:53:48,992 --> 00:53:52,494
When I heard that,
I was knocked back.
503
00:53:52,496 --> 00:53:59,837
Here's this sister who has dedicated
her whole youth to Jehovah...
504
00:53:59,839 --> 00:54:04,845
and yet even she worried about
how Jehovah felt about her.
505
00:54:06,514 --> 00:54:08,283
How humble she was.
506
00:54:10,384 --> 00:54:11,721
Well...
507
00:54:15,089 --> 00:54:19,762
let's see how Jehovah
feels about Alex.
508
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,169
Job 14, verse 15.
509
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,142
"They will call...
510
00:54:31,877 --> 00:54:36,016
and I myself shall answer."
511
00:54:45,058 --> 00:54:46,495
I think about that,
512
00:54:48,329 --> 00:54:52,999
and how Jehovah
is really looking forward
513
00:54:53,001 --> 00:54:57,742
to bringing this amazing sister
back to life again.
514
00:54:59,075 --> 00:55:04,079
Now we all know
the New System is near.
515
00:55:04,081 --> 00:55:07,217
We all share a hope that
we will survive this system,
516
00:55:07,219 --> 00:55:10,453
and go right through the Great
Tribulation into paradise.
517
00:55:10,455 --> 00:55:13,357
But for Alex,
518
00:55:13,359 --> 00:55:17,064
she knew the difficult decision
that she had to make,
519
00:55:18,264 --> 00:55:19,900
but she accepted that.
520
00:55:21,467 --> 00:55:25,438
She mustered up
incredible courage,
521
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:31,048
because she knew that God
was looking after her.
522
00:56:02,251 --> 00:56:04,520
Brian's speech was
very good, wasn't it?
523
00:56:31,952 --> 00:56:33,955
You don't need to do that.
524
00:56:42,198 --> 00:56:43,467
Mum...
525
00:56:50,474 --> 00:56:53,178
The last thing
I said to her was "piss off."
526
00:57:00,420 --> 00:57:02,422
She was just trying to help.
527
00:57:06,025 --> 00:57:07,527
You'll see her again.
528
00:57:49,012 --> 00:57:51,048
You know what you need to do?
529
00:57:57,552 --> 00:57:58,689
Yeah.
530
00:58:11,372 --> 00:58:14,476
It hurts so
much when we lose a loved one.
531
00:58:16,110 --> 00:58:19,981
The thought of living without
them makes our hearts ache.
532
00:58:21,583 --> 00:58:27,120
But let's not forget the promise
that Jehovah God has made.
533
00:58:27,122 --> 00:58:30,290
"I am the resurrection
and the life.
534
00:58:30,292 --> 00:58:34,762
"He that exercises faith in me,
even though he dies,
535
00:58:34,764 --> 00:58:37,300
will come to life."
536
00:58:37,302 --> 00:58:40,202
However, when a loved one
passes away,
537
00:58:40,204 --> 00:58:44,708
it still creates immense sorrow
and anguish deep inside us.
538
00:58:44,710 --> 00:58:48,712
That's because it isn't
supposed to be this way.
539
00:58:48,714 --> 00:58:51,549
Death is the result of sin.
540
00:58:51,551 --> 00:58:54,452
Our first parents
rebelled against Jehovah,
541
00:58:54,454 --> 00:58:57,489
passing down years
of suffering and grief
542
00:58:57,491 --> 00:59:00,495
that was never designed
for mankind.
543
00:59:00,497 --> 00:59:05,434
Jehovah wanted us to live
forever in an earthly paradise.
544
00:59:05,436 --> 00:59:07,369
And he still does!
545
00:59:07,371 --> 00:59:11,640
Soon enough, we will see
our loved ones again.
546
00:59:28,829 --> 00:59:30,596
You know, you plan
to continue your life,
547
00:59:30,598 --> 00:59:33,768
but it could
all just be pointless...
548
00:59:35,205 --> 00:59:37,241
if Armageddon comes early.
549
00:59:44,412 --> 00:59:47,217
Do you think it's possible that Alex
will be able to marry in the New System?
550
00:59:51,289 --> 00:59:53,359
We can't be sure, can we?
551
00:59:58,466 --> 01:00:03,339
Jesus said, the resurrected ones
won't be able to marry.
552
01:00:04,838 --> 01:00:07,340
I know, but...
553
01:00:07,342 --> 01:00:09,808
we don't know if he was
talking about those in Heaven,
554
01:00:09,810 --> 01:00:12,347
or the resurrected ones
on Earth.
555
01:00:16,653 --> 01:00:19,190
We just don't know...
556
01:00:20,690 --> 01:00:25,165
Who's to say? Marriage might
not even be in the New System.
557
01:00:36,210 --> 01:00:37,576
You can move on with your life.
558
01:00:39,745 --> 01:00:42,417
I say that because
I care about you.
559
01:01:00,606 --> 01:01:03,508
It was in the paper today...
about your kid.
560
01:01:04,575 --> 01:01:05,778
Alex.
561
01:01:08,248 --> 01:01:10,851
Did you see it, in the paper?
562
01:01:22,696 --> 01:01:24,533
I thought it was quite tragic.
563
01:02:02,811 --> 01:02:04,982
Alex was part of me, Jehovah.
564
01:02:10,889 --> 01:02:12,791
I'll never forget what she did.
565
01:02:20,067 --> 01:02:24,338
How foolish Satan must look now
in face of such a faith.
566
01:03:23,074 --> 01:03:25,976
I used to feel like
Luisa was sending me mad.
567
01:03:27,713 --> 01:03:32,116
I was so crazy with worry
all the time.
568
01:03:32,118 --> 01:03:34,857
I even thought about getting
some sort of counseling.
569
01:03:38,026 --> 01:03:40,159
I'm so pleased now,
O Jehovah...
570
01:03:40,161 --> 01:03:44,730
And so, we ask this through your son
and our redeemer, Jesus Christ.
571
01:03:44,732 --> 01:03:45,765
Amen.
572
01:03:45,767 --> 01:03:47,534
Amen.
573
01:03:47,536 --> 01:03:50,074
We now welcome Brother Alan
to the platform.
574
01:03:54,044 --> 01:03:55,576
- Dad!
- Shh.
575
01:03:55,578 --> 01:03:57,947
Dad, why didn't she pray
with us?
576
01:03:57,949 --> 01:03:59,785
Shh. She's not allowed.
577
01:04:10,764 --> 01:04:12,130
Had a good chat with her,
578
01:04:12,132 --> 01:04:14,532
and she said that
she's been praying.
579
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:17,870
Hmm. Alex's influence
has brought her back.
580
01:04:17,872 --> 01:04:19,806
She's finally on the right path.
581
01:04:19,808 --> 01:04:23,610
But there's a way to go. We'll
start her guidance meetings.
582
01:04:23,612 --> 01:04:27,648
Is it okay
if I start to help her now,
583
01:04:27,650 --> 01:04:29,650
just with a few
practical things?
584
01:04:29,652 --> 01:04:33,727
The rules still apply until
she's ready for reinstatement.
585
01:04:36,628 --> 01:04:38,964
How long...
How long will that take?
586
01:04:40,532 --> 01:04:42,067
That's up to Luisa.
587
01:04:43,237 --> 01:04:45,003
There's no set time.
588
01:04:45,005 --> 01:04:48,608
Reinstatement can take from a
couple of months to a few years.
589
01:04:49,810 --> 01:04:50,912
We'll do our best.
590
01:04:53,113 --> 01:04:55,580
She's all alone now,
and in her condition...
591
01:04:55,582 --> 01:04:57,683
she could do
with a bit of support.
592
01:04:57,685 --> 01:05:00,089
Ivanna, we can't stop you.
593
01:05:01,156 --> 01:05:04,591
And we understand
there maybe a need
594
01:05:04,593 --> 01:05:06,861
for some contact with her
to care for her.
595
01:05:06,863 --> 01:05:08,930
But... be careful.
596
01:05:08,932 --> 01:05:10,298
Of course.
597
01:05:10,300 --> 01:05:12,801
I wouldn't risk
Luisa's faith now.
598
01:05:12,803 --> 01:05:15,806
Contact must be kept
to a minimum.
599
01:05:15,808 --> 01:05:18,809
First Corinthians five
explains to us
600
01:05:18,811 --> 01:05:22,882
how we must avoid socializing
or eating with the wrongdoer.
601
01:05:22,884 --> 01:05:24,954
Only necessary business is okay.
602
01:05:26,722 --> 01:05:29,159
Luisa's in
a delicate position now.
603
01:06:07,703 --> 01:06:08,804
Hey.
604
01:06:38,339 --> 01:06:40,275
I know I can't
offer you anything.
605
01:06:48,251 --> 01:06:50,788
I was a bit sick this morning.
606
01:06:53,923 --> 01:06:55,759
Do you wanna sit down?
607
01:07:00,331 --> 01:07:02,334
I'll get to work.
608
01:07:32,003 --> 01:07:33,138
Thanks, Mum.
609
01:07:35,472 --> 01:07:37,708
Ring me if you need owt,
610
01:07:37,710 --> 01:07:39,177
and I'll see you at the hall.
611
01:07:42,382 --> 01:07:44,852
- Mum...
- Just listen to the elders.
612
01:07:50,223 --> 01:07:52,193
It... It'll be fine.
613
01:07:57,299 --> 01:07:58,834
I just...
614
01:08:01,403 --> 01:08:03,007
I just can't...
615
01:08:05,043 --> 01:08:08,348
I just can't believe it.
I just never imagined that...
616
01:08:10,015 --> 01:08:11,718
you know, she would do it.
617
01:08:20,059 --> 01:08:22,463
She did because Jehovah is real.
618
01:08:27,134 --> 01:08:29,403
She was so certain, wasn't she?
619
01:08:31,305 --> 01:08:33,909
We'll all be together again
soon, in the New System.
620
01:08:35,511 --> 01:08:37,210
In a few hundred years,
621
01:08:37,212 --> 01:08:39,917
we probably won't
even remember any of this.
622
01:08:42,418 --> 01:08:43,955
I best go.
623
01:08:51,463 --> 01:08:53,097
In Russia,
it's hard for the brothers.
624
01:08:53,099 --> 01:08:54,566
They still persecute us there.
625
01:08:54,568 --> 01:08:56,134
Well, it's a good thing really.
626
01:08:56,136 --> 01:08:58,069
- Who wants another?
- I'm good, thanks.
627
01:08:58,071 --> 01:09:01,808
What Jews did to Jesus.
628
01:09:01,810 --> 01:09:04,811
They banned us in Moscow,
made bible studies illegal.
629
01:09:04,813 --> 01:09:07,314
Well, if they do liquidate us,
630
01:09:07,316 --> 01:09:10,249
then that means we're no
longer considered a faith.
631
01:09:10,251 --> 01:09:13,157
How's it going with Luisa?
Her guidance meetings?
632
01:09:15,325 --> 01:09:16,393
Um...
633
01:09:18,028 --> 01:09:19,096
Okay.
634
01:09:21,265 --> 01:09:22,434
She, uh...
635
01:09:23,467 --> 01:09:25,772
She understands the truth,
but...
636
01:09:27,471 --> 01:09:33,312
um, we're just trying to make
sure that it's in her heart.
637
01:09:36,116 --> 01:09:38,252
She's responding well, but...
638
01:09:39,384 --> 01:09:41,523
she's just not quite there yet.
639
01:09:44,225 --> 01:09:45,796
What's the problem?
640
01:09:48,531 --> 01:09:51,300
Her... Her answers
just aren't right sometimes.
641
01:09:51,302 --> 01:09:54,039
She likes to voice
her own opinions too much,
642
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,176
but then she gets it eventually.
643
01:10:00,379 --> 01:10:03,583
It's very important to me
that she gets reinstated.
644
01:10:05,484 --> 01:10:07,054
She's on the right path.
645
01:10:09,322 --> 01:10:11,091
You should be more careful.
646
01:10:13,226 --> 01:10:15,394
You shouldn't look
for an excuse to associate.
647
01:10:15,396 --> 01:10:17,967
- I wasn't.
- It doesn't help.
648
01:10:19,101 --> 01:10:21,201
It just...
649
01:10:21,203 --> 01:10:23,173
It just undermines
what we're trying to do.
650
01:10:24,641 --> 01:10:27,311
You know, by supporting us,
that would be the best help.
651
01:10:28,979 --> 01:10:31,381
Look, I know this is not
what you're trying to do, but...
652
01:10:33,082 --> 01:10:35,151
if there's no real reason
for the contact,
653
01:10:35,153 --> 01:10:38,224
then it could be classed
as a disfellowshipping offense.
654
01:10:42,528 --> 01:10:44,162
We leave this
meeting in your care
655
01:10:44,164 --> 01:10:45,298
and ask that
your blessing be upon it.
656
01:10:45,300 --> 01:10:47,999
Through the name of your
son Jesus Christ. Amen.
657
01:10:48,001 --> 01:10:50,236
Amen.
658
01:10:50,238 --> 01:10:52,673
So, we look forward to special
week of activity this week
659
01:10:52,675 --> 01:10:55,208
whilst we have our circuit
overseer Brother Stevenson
660
01:10:55,210 --> 01:10:56,644
and his wife with us.
661
01:10:56,646 --> 01:10:58,946
And we'd like to welcome him
to the platform to present
662
01:10:58,948 --> 01:11:02,349
the first in a series of talks
that he's prepared for us.
663
01:11:02,351 --> 01:11:06,422
"God's Word, A Light to your
Roadway." Brother Stevenson.
664
01:11:06,424 --> 01:11:09,592
We've got the meeting with
the circuit overseer on Friday.
665
01:11:09,594 --> 01:11:13,431
Oh, and one of the other
congregations is using the hall...
666
01:11:13,433 --> 01:11:14,967
Steven.
667
01:11:16,702 --> 01:11:18,005
Can I have a word?
668
01:11:22,409 --> 01:11:25,076
Do you know
why Luisa's not here?
669
01:11:25,078 --> 01:11:27,982
Um...
we tried to call in on her...
670
01:11:29,183 --> 01:11:32,087
but she said
she wasn't feeling too well.
671
01:11:36,225 --> 01:11:38,093
Okay.
672
01:11:38,095 --> 01:11:39,298
Okay.
673
01:11:57,751 --> 01:11:59,454
I tried to call you.
674
01:12:01,689 --> 01:12:03,391
Are you okay?
675
01:12:16,807 --> 01:12:19,010
Steven said you weren't well.
676
01:12:21,244 --> 01:12:23,648
The midwife said
she wasn't growing.
677
01:12:26,084 --> 01:12:27,387
I had a scan.
678
01:12:28,521 --> 01:12:30,123
Is everything okay?
679
01:12:32,726 --> 01:12:35,329
I've gotta have
another one in two weeks.
680
01:12:36,598 --> 01:12:37,730
You need
to take care of yourself.
681
01:12:37,732 --> 01:12:40,771
Have you been eating properly
and staying hydrated?
682
01:12:42,539 --> 01:12:44,340
I brought you
some food and bits.
683
01:12:47,477 --> 01:12:49,046
I'll make you something healthy.
684
01:13:05,398 --> 01:13:07,235
I'll eat in there.
685
01:14:02,799 --> 01:14:07,238
So, tell us what you've
done to show repentance?
686
01:14:08,939 --> 01:14:10,343
Um...
687
01:14:12,209 --> 01:14:15,549
I've been going to all the
meetings that I could possibly.
688
01:14:16,882 --> 01:14:18,353
Right.
689
01:14:20,721 --> 01:14:23,892
I've respected not associating
with family and others.
690
01:14:25,327 --> 01:14:26,663
Right.
691
01:14:30,232 --> 01:14:31,502
Um...
692
01:14:35,203 --> 01:14:37,838
I've been able to pray about it.
693
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,274
That's good.
694
01:14:40,276 --> 01:14:42,747
We'd hoped you'd have
asked for Jehovah's guidance.
695
01:14:48,787 --> 01:14:52,323
Now, we've still got an issue with
the relationship with your family.
696
01:14:52,325 --> 01:14:54,625
- Yeah, well...
- It's just that we know
697
01:14:54,627 --> 01:14:58,430
that your mother continues
to go around to your house.
698
01:14:58,432 --> 01:15:00,934
Yeah, but after all
that's happened...
699
01:15:05,507 --> 01:15:09,842
You're not policemen of my life.
700
01:15:09,844 --> 01:15:11,547
That's not what we're doing.
701
01:15:11,549 --> 01:15:13,184
Please be human.
702
01:15:14,253 --> 01:15:16,585
Please!
703
01:15:16,587 --> 01:15:20,323
I have been on my own
for seven months,
704
01:15:20,325 --> 01:15:23,493
and my mum helps me
with house work sometimes.
705
01:15:23,495 --> 01:15:26,596
I haven't been to eat with her,
we haven't been out together.
706
01:15:26,598 --> 01:15:29,835
So, please show me where it says
that my mum can't help me.
707
01:15:32,539 --> 01:15:34,806
I have done the best that I can,
708
01:15:34,808 --> 01:15:36,942
but my mum cleans my fridge!
709
01:15:36,944 --> 01:15:41,952
Personally, I don't think
that's "necessary family business."
710
01:15:44,052 --> 01:15:48,326
You know what? I...
I cannot do this. I can't!
711
01:15:49,494 --> 01:15:51,896
I can't do it!
712
01:16:18,594 --> 01:16:19,863
I'm sorry, Mum.
713
01:16:21,430 --> 01:16:23,463
I'm sorry.
714
01:16:23,465 --> 01:16:26,401
But the elders, honest,
it's no good.
715
01:16:26,403 --> 01:16:29,771
They just want to see
how you feel.
716
01:16:29,773 --> 01:16:32,942
They think they have
a right over my whole life.
717
01:16:32,944 --> 01:16:34,743
Just calm down a bit.
718
01:16:34,745 --> 01:16:37,915
Steven, Luisa's just...
719
01:16:37,917 --> 01:16:40,685
She's feeling a bit tired
and emotional at the moment.
720
01:16:40,687 --> 01:16:43,292
Look, Luisa,
it's no one's fault.
721
01:16:44,459 --> 01:16:45,759
We just feel that you need time.
722
01:16:46,860 --> 01:16:49,427
It's nothing to worry about.
723
01:16:49,429 --> 01:16:51,767
We can still continue
our guidance meetings.
724
01:16:53,901 --> 01:16:56,774
Do you wanna... Do you wanna
go back in and sort it out?
725
01:17:01,346 --> 01:17:06,652
No. Luisa, it's okay. We can...
We can sort out another meeting.
726
01:17:13,458 --> 01:17:15,494
Do you know how it feels...
727
01:17:17,830 --> 01:17:19,965
to think Jehovah the Almighty
728
01:17:19,967 --> 01:17:23,906
is punishing you directly,
all the time?
729
01:17:25,973 --> 01:17:28,509
Why, when I'm sorry?
730
01:17:32,580 --> 01:17:33,615
I've tried, Mum.
731
01:17:34,984 --> 01:17:36,750
But the elders,
they've got it in for me.
732
01:17:36,752 --> 01:17:38,755
- No, don't be daft.
- Yes, they do.
733
01:17:40,991 --> 01:17:43,928
Do you think it's right
how they make you treat me?
734
01:17:49,467 --> 01:17:51,037
It's not God's way.
735
01:17:52,539 --> 01:17:55,377
You need to earn His love.
736
01:17:56,610 --> 01:17:57,912
It's conditional.
737
01:17:59,113 --> 01:18:02,651
It takes strength
to live up to His standards.
738
01:18:04,619 --> 01:18:08,522
Strength, I pray,
you will find soon.
739
01:18:08,524 --> 01:18:10,526
I'm not doing it, Mum.
740
01:18:13,629 --> 01:18:15,897
You can visit us if you want.
741
01:18:15,899 --> 01:18:17,402
In secret.
742
01:18:18,237 --> 01:18:20,906
None of this anymore, okay?
743
01:18:23,876 --> 01:18:25,079
Excuse me.
744
01:19:59,688 --> 01:20:01,858
Let's turn to Luke 12:49.
745
01:20:06,864 --> 01:20:09,602
"I came to start
a fire on the Earth.
746
01:20:10,935 --> 01:20:13,007
"Do you think I came
to bring peace?
747
01:20:14,107 --> 01:20:15,109
"No,
748
01:20:16,308 --> 01:20:18,145
but rather division."
749
01:20:23,651 --> 01:20:28,256
Now, unfortunately, there might come a
time when this division of Jehovah's
750
01:20:29,725 --> 01:20:32,157
can happen to us,
751
01:20:32,159 --> 01:20:35,766
and it can cause pain
and distress for a long time.
752
01:20:38,036 --> 01:20:40,606
And that is when
someone close to our hearts...
753
01:20:42,073 --> 01:20:43,710
is disfellowshipped.
754
01:20:47,180 --> 01:20:50,147
In a moment of doubt,
you might beg Jehovah,
755
01:20:50,149 --> 01:20:53,619
why do this to me and my family?
756
01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:58,224
Jesus clearly stated in Luke 12
757
01:20:58,226 --> 01:21:01,897
that his work could cause
conflict in the household.
758
01:21:03,765 --> 01:21:07,200
But we must put Jehovah first,
759
01:21:07,202 --> 01:21:10,975
even before our family members
if they are disfellowshipped.
760
01:21:13,344 --> 01:21:17,245
And be prepared, we might end up
facing criticism from outsiders
761
01:21:17,247 --> 01:21:19,317
who question our loyalty to God.
762
01:21:20,952 --> 01:21:25,223
Even your unrepentant child
might say...
763
01:21:27,061 --> 01:21:29,197
"My own mum shuns me."
764
01:21:32,434 --> 01:21:35,936
But remember, it was a choice.
765
01:21:35,938 --> 01:21:39,110
They chose
to cut themselves off from God.
766
01:21:41,277 --> 01:21:44,648
In a situation like this,
it's important to stay hopeful.
767
01:21:47,049 --> 01:21:48,253
Even if...
768
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:54,789
Even if your loved one
seems unrepentant.
769
01:21:54,791 --> 01:21:58,096
It might take them many years
before they truly want to return.
770
01:21:59,198 --> 01:22:01,201
We just don't know.
771
01:22:02,435 --> 01:22:05,340
So please don't try
and bend the rules.
772
01:22:06,874 --> 01:22:10,309
How bad would it be
if we disobeyed and associated,
773
01:22:10,311 --> 01:22:13,444
and then one day your
daughter comes back and says,
774
01:22:13,446 --> 01:22:16,185
"Why did you break
Jehovah's command?"
775
01:22:18,386 --> 01:22:20,023
Imagine that.
776
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,431
But what if instead,
she said, "Thank you."
777
01:22:28,433 --> 01:22:32,972
Your actions brought me
back to the truth.
778
01:22:36,910 --> 01:22:38,909
Even if we could get involved
779
01:22:38,911 --> 01:22:42,381
in the life of the disfellowshipped
one, which we can't,
780
01:22:42,383 --> 01:22:45,316
our help would never match up
to that of Jehovah's.
781
01:22:45,318 --> 01:22:49,188
He understands what they
need more than anyone,
782
01:22:49,190 --> 01:22:51,728
even the most caring mother.
783
01:22:53,997 --> 01:22:56,229
Trust in Him.
784
01:22:56,231 --> 01:22:58,034
The right path
isn't an easy one.
785
01:23:02,138 --> 01:23:04,273
But we have resources
786
01:23:04,275 --> 01:23:09,245
of God's wisdom that excels
our feeble, human logic.
787
01:23:09,246 --> 01:23:14,285
If God was to say that this book
is green when it's actually red,
788
01:23:14,287 --> 01:23:17,091
then maybe it is green.
What do I really know?
789
01:23:18,359 --> 01:23:21,060
Such is His guidance.
790
01:24:16,895 --> 01:24:18,096
Hello.
791
01:24:24,537 --> 01:24:26,006
Hello.
792
01:24:29,642 --> 01:24:31,312
This is Leanne.
793
01:24:38,387 --> 01:24:39,589
Hey.
794
01:24:41,124 --> 01:24:42,326
Hey.
795
01:24:46,497 --> 01:24:48,366
She's a good weight.
796
01:24:51,368 --> 01:24:53,404
Yeah, she's feeding well.
797
01:25:08,689 --> 01:25:10,325
Why now, Mum?
798
01:25:15,632 --> 01:25:17,634
I wanted to see
my granddaughter.
799
01:25:23,373 --> 01:25:25,376
I love you both very much.
800
01:25:39,625 --> 01:25:41,396
Why don't you come back?
801
01:25:54,175 --> 01:25:55,512
It's okay.
802
01:25:56,779 --> 01:25:57,948
Shh.
803
01:25:59,116 --> 01:26:00,351
There you go.
804
01:26:08,495 --> 01:26:10,564
Why don't you sit down, Mum?
805
01:26:13,500 --> 01:26:16,170
I don't get it.
What about the New System?
806
01:26:18,339 --> 01:26:21,076
Do you not want to see
your sister again?
807
01:26:29,485 --> 01:26:30,487
You know,
808
01:26:33,321 --> 01:26:36,128
all that stuff about blood...
809
01:26:39,164 --> 01:26:40,565
in the Bible,
810
01:26:44,268 --> 01:26:46,772
the governing body,
they just make it up,
811
01:26:48,107 --> 01:26:50,409
and then change it
whenever they want.
812
01:26:52,179 --> 01:26:54,348
But people die because of it.
813
01:26:58,387 --> 01:26:59,354
It...
814
01:27:00,589 --> 01:27:02,459
It wasn't her fault.
815
01:27:04,828 --> 01:27:08,596
I know every single day
of Alex's life, she felt shame
816
01:27:08,598 --> 01:27:11,668
because she had somebody
else's blood inside her.
817
01:27:15,605 --> 01:27:18,712
She... She tried very hard
to prove herself,
818
01:27:20,146 --> 01:27:22,782
but in the end,
she made a stand.
819
01:27:25,285 --> 01:27:28,055
She stayed loyal to Jehovah,
right to the end.
820
01:27:39,267 --> 01:27:41,570
I don't feel guilty
about you anymore.
821
01:27:47,245 --> 01:27:49,913
You let the Devil tempt you,
822
01:27:49,915 --> 01:27:52,216
and you'll let yourself die
because of it.
823
01:27:56,288 --> 01:27:58,358
I could've been there for Alex.
824
01:28:00,895 --> 01:28:04,364
But they stopped me
with their stupid rules.
825
01:28:11,640 --> 01:28:12,843
You know, I just...
826
01:28:15,678 --> 01:28:17,815
I just don't get
how you could...
827
01:28:19,916 --> 01:28:22,220
sit there and watch her die.
828
01:28:36,936 --> 01:28:39,273
I still want to see
my granddaughter.
829
01:28:42,242 --> 01:28:43,712
How do you see that working?
830
01:28:45,514 --> 01:28:46,816
I could pick her up.
831
01:28:47,917 --> 01:28:50,320
Me and you won't socialize.
832
01:28:51,754 --> 01:28:53,956
I could take her to meetings.
833
01:28:53,958 --> 01:28:56,424
- There's no way, Mum.
- She needs to know about God.
834
01:28:56,426 --> 01:28:58,862
Leanne's not gonna have
anything to do with that!
835
01:29:11,377 --> 01:29:13,180
Mum...
836
01:29:15,015 --> 01:29:17,419
I don't blame you, really.
837
01:29:23,958 --> 01:29:25,826
And I get it.
838
01:29:28,296 --> 01:29:30,500
I get you won't want
to talk to us again.
839
01:29:32,770 --> 01:29:35,207
But I will be here
if you ever need me.
840
01:29:51,625 --> 01:29:53,260
Could I have some water?
841
01:30:18,590 --> 01:30:19,755
It's okay.
842
01:30:19,757 --> 01:30:22,327
It's okay.
843
01:30:35,777 --> 01:30:37,345
Mum!
844
01:30:37,347 --> 01:30:39,080
Mum, what are you doing?
845
01:30:47,524 --> 01:30:48,494
Oh, um...
846
01:30:50,494 --> 01:30:53,900
I'll pick her up from nursery
and I'll take her to meetings.
847
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,536
I'll save her.
