  As has been noted here before, the Ori of the TV show SG-1 have a LOT in common with the JW's. But last night I really began to wonder if one of the shows writers might be an ex JW. I just about bit my lip when the "queen" Ori said to her mother..."It is just a matter of time before you except "the truth." There is just FAR to much in common with the Ori and the JW's for it to be an accident.

  And to think my loyal and as far as I know "true believing" wife sits and watches this show with me. I can only wonder what might be going through her head.

  It has a lot in common with all religions, not just JW's. Religions all work in the same way.
  
  What is there for any and all to gain by choosing the path of Origin ? Those seeking eternal salvation can follow the word of the Ori. The day of reckoning approaches. Your destiny awaits. You are all children of the Ori. But you have been raised by evil ! The true nature of the universe has been kept from you by powers that would have you stray from the path of Origin. It is time to open your eyes ! Let Origin show you the way.
  
  For example.. if you change the Ori/Origin to Allah/Islam... that would fit Islam. It seems to me that they have drawn from a number of sources to make the "ultimate religion" - which would strike a chord with many and is basically what they have set out to do, to get and keep viewers.

  Could be. But I have watched every episode, and they do use a lot of "key" phrases that the JW's do. And the priors and Ori bigwigs seem to use the same facial expressions that many of the Elders do.
