I watched this film, it comes as no surprise to me religions manipulate and control people. You do not need a religious institution to know God, to love God, and to follow the teachings of Jesus. Religious institutions like the JW control people and tell them it is because the bible said so and God said so, incorrect, it is because they said so. God did not say you should not have blood transfusions in order to save your life, God did not say you should disown family members who do not believe in religion, no, JW say that, not God. This is the way religions manipulate and control people, by telling them God and the bible said so. - @Monday, October 15, 2018 8:36 PM

And one more movie about how Christianity is really bad and people must renounce it. Meantime, istn't it, "Islam is the religion of peace !" :)))) I understand perfectly that JW is bad, because it is. But at the end of the day, this movie is the typical leftist agenda one, in which Christianity is the punching bag. - @Saturday, October 13, 2018 11:45 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much to all of you for all your time and dedication you take on your posts. Tell me this… What’s the best way to take something out of humanity's mind? By continually thinking and speaking of it? OR! By never thinking and speaking of it? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! YES, NOW YOU SEE!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY!!! Or is it NOT SO that you have the liberty to think and speak of whatever you desire. Yes! You are free to think and speak of whatever you want. BUT! How is it that you are here now still reading these words? You see, we all have this thing called WILLPOWER, and it is true that you cannot make anyone do anything against their will BUT very few exercise their will power which leaves them being a mere consequence of those who do know how to exercise their will power. And what do you call this person (you)? A SLAVE!!! Yes, you see, a slave is anyone who lacks the capacity to function as independent of something or someone. Man (you) has accepted this type of control and what’s worse they themselves (you) PROMOTE IT not knowing that they’re promoting their dependency of it. YOU, although unwilling to admit it, ARE A SLAVE. YOU ARE A SLAVE!!! So I command you NOW, MY SLAVE, YOU who are reading this here now. THINK OF THIS!!! SPEAK OF THIS!!! AND PROMOTE THIS!!! YES, if you want tell everyone and anyone of the bad things you see about Jehovah's Witnesses. DO IT!!! OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN!!! and do nothing else because every time you SAY THE WORDS: "Jehovah’s Witnesses", whether speaking good or bad, you are actually planting a seed within the others mind and then those fools will tell others and more and more and there will be some out of the MANY YOU TELL that do not simply want to REPEAT THE SAME ECHO and will actually want to find out the REAL TRUTH and they will BECOME A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS!! THANKS TO YOU!!! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! I say this because thanks to people like you, I became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Don't think so: TELL ME THIS: What’s the best way to keep something out of someone's mind? By continually thinking and speaking of it? OR! By never thinking and speaking of it? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSSS, NOOOOWWWWWWW YOU SEEEEEE!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY!!! It only takes one black swan to end the belief that all swans are white. So if YOU CONTINUE TO BELIEVE that all swans are white after YOU’VE BEEN SHOWN the black swan then notice who is deceiving who?!?!?!? Like a fish to my hook I pull you in and I DEMAND YOU, MY SLAVE, TO THINK OF THIS!!! SPEAK OF THIS!!! AND PROMOTE THIS!!!!!! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! YES!! YESSS!!! NOW YOU SEE!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY!!! And remember too, MY SLAVES to respond to my post.(Ahem, reverse psychology: if you don't post you're doing what I want. If you do post: You're still doing what I want. AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! YES, NOW YOU SEEE!!!!!! YEEEESSS!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!

Everyone here hating on JW but don't realize how evil other religions are like Islam, where you are murdered for leaving the religion. Some people decide to take religions to the extreme.

I went through something very similar to this. It was humiliating. I questioned everything they did or told me, on top of that my father was an elder. My friends dads were elders. On one Thursday night meeting 4 of us were disfellowshipped. We haven't looked back since. Its been tough, always going against what we were taught. But in the end, they were wrong. - @Friday, August 10, 2018 12:15 PM

1 Thessalonians Chapter 4 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. - @Monday, August 6, 2018 1:10 PM

Jehovas Witness don't put a gun to your head and tell you to stay with the organization. Anybody is able to walk away at any point. I grew up as a Jehova Witness and leaving the organization when I was old enough relieved me from a tremendous pressure. But you know what? Thanks to their teachings and what my parents thought me I managed to stay clean of drugs or just staying out of trouble. I'm a 32 year old hispanic guy who has no kids, no drug addictions, no criminal record and it was really all thanks to what I learned. There are things that I don't agree with but there are things that I don't see in other churches either. It really depends on the elders or congregation because some really are extremist. People need to keep in mind that we are all human and we still make mistakes. - @Monday, July 30, 2018 5:12 PM

religion is extremely bad for all humans. It should have never been invented at the first place. The masses are too dumb to understand the craziness of it all and you end up with brainwashed people, who lose their lifes for an imaginary old man in the sky... Religions divides more than it unites. Wars are made because of religions. Never submit to anyone or anything. Be strong. Be your own father. Don't let others tell you what to do. Don't let them influence your life. *All we need is love* - @Monday, July 30, 2018 12:02 AM

Just the trailer content alone is on the money - can’t wait to see the full feature. Almost 20 years since my own disfellowshipping and couldn’t be happier. Sure, giving up 25 years membership of a unhealthily insular community and losing every friendship since birth is heartbreakingly tough, but to escape from such a toxic, insidious, cult is the best thing that can happen to any awakened JDub. Credit to all that have made the break and forged a new life, power and fortitude to those who have yet to, or are about to, go into the crucible . Time heals, though the scars remain to remind us of the value of the hard won freedom. - @Sunday, July 22, 2018 12:01 PM

My ex is still in but not following all their bull shit. Get out and enjoy life, it is the biggest Fuck You to the Watchtower. Yes, you can be happy and find friends outside of the organization. The most hateful and evil people I've met was in the congregations of JW's. Not to menton ignorant. - @Monday, July 16, 2018 4:39 AM

It's so clear to me now that the Jehovah's Witnesses have gone far beyond the Biblical version of shunning to keep their members trapped inside the cult. When a difference of opinion or matter of conscience causes you to leave, it should never be equated with leaving God, but this is what they charge you with because they teach there is no truth to be found outside their organization. The leadership and the governing body will be judged for this one day. Another false teaching is nobody knows who the faithful and discrete slave is until Jesus returns and approves of whoever is found to be doing the work of feeding His people at that time. Anyone brandishing themselves with the honor of this title before the appointed time is a liar and deceiver. Jesus could return in 5 years, 50 years or 5,000 years. By then the doctrine Jehovah's Witnesses will be radically different from what they teach today, just as many of the doctrines taught today were not what was taught in the past by earlier generations of Witnesses. The truth is the truth, but the JW's version of truth continues to change over time with new ideas being introduced. The governing body use the power of this title to give themselves unquestioning authority. It's much the same as the Pope calling himself the Vicar of Christ, which is not even a biblical concept. These men are no closer to Jehovah God than any of the rest of us and I wager they are going to inherit eternal sleep as their reward for teaching misguided ideas, distorting Scripture and protecting pedophiles from being given over to the authorities. - @Sunday, July 15, 2018 10:40 AM

I just saw the movie and it's a fist in the stomach. It was as if I went back in time and experienced again the feelings and thoughts within the circular thought of the sect. It is really well done and perfectly shows the reality lived within that religious system. It shows very well how things being presented the way they are and within the logic of the group, can lead people to do things they would not normally do. The subject of blood and disfellowshipping is explored very well, showing how these issues stir up the emotions of Witnesses, even if they follow the rules of the organization. - @Thursday, July 5, 2018 10:54 PM

I say BRAVO BRAVO, I saw the movie and I'm very impressed with it. It doesn't bash the faith it doesn't give a dogmatic portrayal. It is very honest and accurate in every detail. If you haven't been a JW or a closely associated with them this is a good movie to watch to get to know what it is like. If you have been a JW or was raised up in it like I was it's a very authentic take. Prepare yourself to watch this, get through your emotions then get through the process of healing. - @Wednesday, July 4, 2018 6:18 PM

I want to share some information with you regarding homosexuality and the fact that it is not a sin. This is something that can be proven both within and outside of the publications from Watchtower Bible and Tract society. For now, I'm only going to focus on the material from within the organization and I'm going to start with 1 Cor 6:9. Get yourself a copy of the silver edition of the New World Translation with references (the silver sword), the previous edition of the New World Translation with references (the black cover), the Kingdom Interlinear of the Christian Greek Scriptures and the Insight of the Scriptures volume 1. All of these publications can also be found at ‪jw.org‬. I want you to see how the governing body has deviated from what Jehovah actually said about who would not inherit the kingdom. What Jehovah said and what the governing body said is literally like night and day. What the governing body has done is nothing short of blasphemy. They have literally written their own prejudice right into scripture to the tuned frequency of its obeying audience with very few brothers and sisters even caring enough to question the governing body's stunt. Starting with the Kingdom interlinear at 1:Cor 6:9 there are two Greek words there: "malakos" and "arsenokoitai", which you can see mean "soft" and "liers with males". Neither term limits their subject to any particular gender. But from this point onward, the governing body begins its tainted trajectory. Their first stunt deals with the Greek word "malakos". As you can see with the kingdom interlinear, they added the word "men" to soft, hence the brackets. And without any footnote, they go straight to their blasphemy of a rendition of "nor men kept for unnatural purposes" as their so called translation in the black reference Bible. Not one word of that "translation" has any relationship to the Greek word "malakos" which the Kingdom Interlinear without their addition says means "soft". And with no support linking "malakos" to Romans 1 they list that scripture as a cross-reference to support their blatant deviation. Their second stunt can be found in the footnote of the black reference Bible. The first lie the footnote lists is "nor Sodomites" as an understanding/parallel for the Greek word arsenokoitai. It is abundantly clear that when Paul penned the word "arsenokoitai", he did not make any reference/comparison/ parallel, etc. whatsoever to ANY city, let alone one named Sodom or any derivative of that name. As proof of this here is the Greek word for Sodom: "Sódoma"; and here is the Greek word Paul actually used: "arsenokoitai". The two words are not even close to being related. So now with Sodom and its homosexual lie added to the mix via the "Sodomite" reference, the ground is fertile enough for the translators to introduce their next stunt: the addition of the word "men" to "liers with males". So now instead of working with what Paul said according to the kingdom interlinear it now goes from "liers with males" to "MEN who lie with men". The silver sword takes this lie further with arsenokoitai by adding "MEN" a second time for a total of three. They took the black reference Bible' s lie of "MEN who lie with men" and contracted it down to the phrase "homosexuality" and just added their second "MEN" to it making the silver sword read "MEN who practice HOMOSEXUALITY". And if you look at the footnote of the silver sword Bible they have the literal as being "men who lie with men". That is a bald faced lie when you look at what they say the literal is in the footnote of the black reference Bible and the literal that's found in the Kindgdom Interlinear itself. The silver sword's malakos rendering is an even bigger lie. The governing body already added men to "soft" as the kingdom Interlinear shows in the brackets with the black reference Bible's translation completely deviating from Greek. The silver sword adds MEN two more times with its rendition of "MEN who submit to HOMOSEXUAL ACTS", when the Greek provides no support for that whatsoever. So you can now see the back bending gymnastics the bigoted, homophobic governing body has done to try to change God's word to make it as a weapon against gays, specifically men. Now compare their blasphemy to the simple truth of who Jehovah via Paul was actually excluding from god's kingdom. Sometimes even a liar will inadvertently spill the truth. In your Insight on the Scriptures vol 1, turn to page 434 and look under the heading of CHILD, CHILDREN If you look at the first paragraph, the third from the last sentence says the following: "Among the Greek terms are teʹknon (child), te·kniʹon (little child), pai·diʹon (young child), and arʹsen (male child). (Mt ‪10:21‬; Joh ‪13:33‬; Mt 2:8; Re ‪12:13‬)" The Greek word Paul used at 1 Cor 6:9 was ARSENokoitai. I have ARSEN in all caps for a reason. The Insight book clearly has ARSEN meaning MALE CHILD and they use Rev ‪12:13‬ which uses the same ARSEN that's also in ARSENokoitai at 1 Cor 6:9 to support it. The context in Rev ‪12:13‬ identifies a reference to a child. With all of this in mind, go back at 1 Cor 6:9 and this time, let scripture speak for itself. When Paul used the phrase "liers with males", he didn't identify the gender of who was doing the laying. The original Greek left it open, but the governing body's blasphemous rendering did not. They did just the opposite of what Jehovah did and unsuccessfully jumped through every kind of hoop to try to get away with adding MEN to it as a weapon against gays. But Jehovah said no such thing, he clearly was condemning ANYONE, MALE OR FEMALE who lay with a MALE CHILD. And when you look at the context and the setting of Paul's time, the abuse of boys existed during that time, and yet Jehovah was delicately able to condemn the abuse regardless of the gender involved and more importantly without importing a homosexuality concept of any kind or making a reference of any kind to a city named Sodom. The tragedy in all of this is the unimaginable damage and pain being done to gay witnesses all over the globe. Most witnesses will not even be motivated to fact check the governing body's translation but will instead assist in the slow, internal suicide of our gay brothers and sisters by wishing them options that they as straight individuals would never wish upon themselves. But fortunately their cry for help is growing and friends are starting to listen to them. What the governing body has done is sad and it's sickening, because as you can clearly see Jehovah NEVER said that they would be barred from his kingdom. The governing body is the LYING homophobe, not Jehovah. And believe it or not, more witnesses are starting to see that. - @Sunday, June 17, 2018 3:05 AM
