I get email announcing new dates for the film "Knocking" which I haven't seen but understand is a positive portrayal of what Jehovah's Witnesses are all about.
The official email states it was directed by Joel P. Engardio.
I researched this man on Google and it seems very likely that he is gay, which has been discussed on this board before. I understand his mother is a JW.
Now, why would a gay man make a positive film about a gay-hating religion? Mother issues anybody? I have emailed the director several times and inquired this but get no response.
Can you imagine how the gay press and gay groups would react if they knew a gay film director had made a warm and fuzzy film about a group of religious cultists who will not speak to any gay former members of their church? Who will not tolerate gays? Who say God will slaughter all homosexuals at Armageddon?
If the film comes to Dallas I plan to ask this kind of question during the Q&A and quote the Watchtower's position on homosexuals from their literature.
