EXCERPT HERE:

Engardio declined to be baptized, he says, because he thought he could do more good in the world than out of it. He is also gay. His sexual orientation didn't lead him to abandon the church, but long term, "it wouldn't have been a good fit,"

WOW how many of us got that choice and then become a WTBS spokesperson for newsweek?

KNOCKING Update

OSCAR-NOMINATED TERRENCE HOWARD TALKS ABOUT KNOCKING

Listen to Academy Award-nominated actor Terrence Howard talk about
KNOCKING
on the NPR (National Public Radio) show "Tell Me More." Terrence Howard
is
the host of the PBS series "Independent Lens" and he will introduce
KNOCKING
on TV. Few know that Terrence Howard was raised a Jehovah's Witness as
a
child. He will talk about that experience on the NPR radio show (he was
already told reporters he wants to return the religion of his
childhood) and
he will talk about his impressions of KNOCKING. Terrence Howard was
nominated for an Academy Award for his 2005 performance in " Hustle &
Flow ."
He also starred in the 2006 Best Picture "Crash." This year, he was the
lead
in the film "Pride." Previous films include "Mr. Holland's Opus" and

GAY knocking Jehovah Witnesses producers

Gay Director Joel P. Engardio and his Gay partner

OnTheWayOut

I listened to Terrence Howard's interview at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10320391

Warning to all- He's warped. His family are JW's and he is not- because he didn't give up smoking and
isn't disciplined enough. He hopes to one day be ready to be a JW. There's some comments in this
host's interview that will fire you up. He thinks JW's are right, and they don't shun those that leave, but
rather that the one who left them shuns the faith and is always welcome to come back. Disgusting
take from someone who never took the plunge. Same as Joel E, the producer- a gay man defending those that
would say that fire from heaven will destroy him and birds will pluck his eyeballs out.

This is a travesty on so many levels.

Unfortunately only 26 people signed my petition so there is nothing newsworthy for me to get the media to cover today.

Another missed opportunity to let the world hear the other side of the story. There have been several threads on here about uniting to get media coverage and improve public awareness of this cult, but when the time comes, there is little support. [big sigh of disappointment]

Not on Bangor Maine PBS lineup tonight.

http://discussions.pbs.org/viewforum.pbs?f=203 the forum should open up tonight late

Since launch, the lively debates seen here have been largely related to the Jehovah's Witnesses faith as a whole, with minimal posting and participation about the film KNOCKING.

The goal of the KNOCKING discussion forum, as listed in the Standards of Use, is to "discuss your responses to the film and Web site with us and with each other."

As a result, this forum will be inactive until the film's premiere on Independent Lens on May 22, 2007. At that time, we will welcome viewers to share their reactions and thoughts about the film.
