    There's a lot of snippets on YouTube if anyone wants to get a taste of it. That's all I've seen and I was disturbed yet I'm a Christian.

    I saw it at the theater. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was a 90 minute film of continuous mind-rape of those poor kids.

    As documentaries go, it was pretty good. Just unpleasant. Like reliving your fanatical JW childhood all over again but worse.

    A couple of other religious documentaries that are very good:

    Deliver Us From Evil

    Bonhoeffer

    Yes, I found it quite disturbing. Remember the one little girl sitting in the outside tent next to an RV? When she talked about dead churches, was she talking about the JWs? They fit her description of a dead church. Anyway, that film helped me better understand that JW is just another fundamentalist religion among many that think they are the way. I don't believe children should be force fed religion either.

    Its interesting that someone would mention that Ted Haggard came out of the closet. When I was watching the film, I was thinking "I wonder if his congo knows he's gay?"
