    Hey Hubert! How are you??

    I watched this and created this thread. Not as one-sided a film as I expected. I don't think this is a film to fear for bringing people to the JW viewpoint. The Witnesses come across as odd and not very appealing. What did you think??

    I hope you are well and healthy!

    Well. my post is so far back, I decided to reply on your thread, Seeker.

    You did a better job than I of critiquing the "Knocking" documentary. I didn't know that it was going to be the "Knocking" program before it came on, but saw that it really was, once it started. I was too tired to stay up and watch it, and taped it to watch later. I watched half of it today, then had to leave. I just got back home, so I didn't get to see the rest of it, but you pretty well covered all the parts very well, Seeker.

    I also loved the Grandma saying it was a cult. I too don't think this is very pro-j.w. If it was meant to be, I think it was way off it's mark. Showing how the j.w.'s helped remove saluting the flag in schools won't help them, either. It just shows they are not patriotic, and gives the impression of being anti-American.

    I was surprised to hear them say if you don't tow the line, you are disfellowshipped, and shunned by all j.w.'s. That's gotta hurt them.

    Good to hear from you, Seeker and Lori. I'm well, and my family is doing well, also. I hope the both of you are too, and enoying the spring weather up there in Vermont.

    Hubert
