    ALMOST ARMAGEDDON- a mockumentary of beliefs with goofy talks from the platform and goofy
    WT articles being answered by the paragraphs (skip the readings), then the groups that go to
    lunch afterward and discuss their undying acceptance of the goofy beliefs.

    SPREADING THE WORD (or SPREADING THE TRUTH)- would follow fictional publishers from door-to-
    door, focusing heavily on the pioneers. It would include the shocking things they see and hear
    and the reactions at the doors. To stay interesting, the plots could include adventures when
    the publishers discover crimes being commited in households and they could occasionally stumble
    across a porn movie recording or prevent a robbery at the coffee shop they frequent.

    Quickbuilds- Could be similar to EXTREME MAKEOVER. Could even steal their name and call it
    EXTREME MAKEOVERS- KINGDOM HALL EDITION. A JW crew with the backing of rich dedicated JW's and
    the television network would travel the country deciding what congregation was worthy of
    a new Kingdom Hall on their old property site. They could showcase the lives of the various
    witnesses, especially the devout crazy ones and the poor wheelchair-bound. There could be many
    opportunities for the crew to say, "We have to get these folks some help so they can get back out
    into the preaching work." They will send the congregants to "Bethel" instead of Disney World for
    a week. They will tour Patterson and preach with Bethelites for a week and stay in their homes.
    Neighbors at home will be cheering when the Hall is destroyed, and the crew will have a hard time
    getting neighbors to pitch in each week to put up the new hall, so they will tell them how it will increase
    property values or expand the parking lot and get the JW's off their lawns when parking. During
    Sweeps-weeks, they can take on an Assembly Hall.

    TOUCHED BY A CIRCUIT OVERSEER- A traveling overseer has a different adventure every week with a new
    congregation (or returns to previous congregations, but a different adventure comes up). To make it a
    strange SITCOM, the C.O. is really an angel sent to really make a difference in the lives of the JW's.
    He tries to wake up some individuals in the cong. that the WTS isn't really the truth, but he has to do it
    in such a way that nobody reports him to "Mother." His success is very low, but some come out. The
    most interesting part will be how the elders meetings go. The C.O. will be trying to ask the elders to
    view the scriptural thoughts on love and mildness and the elders will keep saying, "The Watchtower
    says... [completely different than you are saying]."

    "The Inner Sanctum."

    The story of a group of 9 men that control a worldwide impire of real estate funded by volunteers. Religion, scandal, politics, control, tittilation. It's all there.

    GREEN HANDSHAKES- follows a different Bethelite (sometimes a GB member) to assemblies and
    conventions and occasionally to troubled Kingdom Halls. The Bethelites are just silly humans
    promoting the org. using sales seminars and things they read on the internet, and they cannot
    hardly believe how the locals grovel at them and want to feed them dinner all the time and the
    single ones get offers from "single" sisters just as if they were rockstars. Meanwhile, the
    green handshakes always make the difference. Somehow, the Bethelite is questioning the org.
    or got some publisher pregnant or needs hush money for something. The green handshake
    typically just makes the difference to keep the Bethelite in the org. or from being DF'ed.

    Touched By A Circuit Overseer----I thought it was going to be about a CO who improperly touches different ones in a naughty way.

    Perhaps we could get Marjoe Gortner to produce.

    I see a much "darker" approach to this series than Big Love. You have the doomsday cult aspect which could certainly be developed, along with the "pyramid" history.
