Hi,
I'm no great fan of the org but there are still people in there that I care about which is why I was sickened to see this vid on Youtube

It's basically just poorly made hate vid that glorifies shooting dubs. Flag it as unsuitable and lets get it kicked off

Yea, your right it's sick and stupid. The kid who made it obviously was never a JW.
This is very flawed, and not even for glorifying violence. For starters, the kids were not dressed up. Where are the white dress shirts, the trademark service bags, and the suits? They were dressed up with shirts that had some graphic on them, which is forbidden by the Tower (especially while out in service) and jeans (also forbidden while out in service). Besides, the Bible was labeled "Holy Bible". The real Dubs use the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. No magazines or tracts were placed, either. Obviously, someone has zero familiarity with the trademarks of Jehovah's Witlesses.

Maybe the killer was an elders kid, they're always the worst, he shot them because they gave a bad witness on FS. He probably got a private reproval and told he couldn't answer up at the congregation book study for a week
Agreed.
Yeah, you're right. That vid is in very poor taste, and not even remotely funny.
I saw your comment (on You Tube) Drew Sagen - I'm trying to log in to mark it as innapropriate.
This was an amateur short film. The maker falls into the rut of many hobby movie makers. It relies on the most basic prop there is, a gun. This prop replaces the need for any story telling or character development talent to be imployed. All that is needed is to set up a simple scenario (in this case a completely innaccurate portrayal of a JW call) that involves the prop, usually with the use of the prop to kill someone at the end. YAWN. Who cares?
I understand where you are coming from gregor. In the most basic sense this is just a stupid video made by some pretty lame kids.
Because of the built in cult personality of JWs, this kind of material can have the effect of further polarization for the individual no matter how lame it is. That's why i personally find this kind of material inappropriate (in addition to the fact that pretending to shoot people you don't like is pretty inappropriate as well).
