When Jesus Walks Into Bethel: A Parable for the Time of Inspection [4K]

This video presents a parable:
What if the Jesus of the Gospels physically returned today and visited a modern Jehovah’s Witness Branch Office (Bethel)?
Using only the behavioral patterns recorded in scripture, this thought-experiment explores how Jesus historically confronted hypocrisy, protected the vulnerable, defended truth-tellers, and resisted institutional power.

This is not an attack on sincere Jehovah’s Witnesses.
It is a parable, a theological thought experiment, and an educational exploration of institutional dynamics common to many systems — religious or otherwise.
The story uses the Witnesses’ own internal biblical framework of wheat and weeds (Matthew 13) to examine how harm can arise when authority becomes disconnected from conscience, transparency, and justice.

JW wheat 🌾 (good) vs JW weeds 🌿 (bad) — faith vs control.
JW wheat: the genuine believers. JW weeds: the system that hides abuse.

This is a call to scholars, lawmakers, believers, and non-believers alike: to build safe communities where faith and freedom can coexist without coercion.
