Award Winning Danish Movie on leaving JWs. You Tube link

Saw this movie mentioned on You tube from an old thread. Seeing if it will post:

Its good, watched 15 minutes, I don't know if you can stitch it all together.

It comes up in 15 minute increments on UTUBE I watched half the movie. Surprizingly accurate glimpse into JWs for a commercial film. You can see how strange the JW viewpoints are from an outside perspective. Since the Danes don't have Amish, JWs will have to do.

Not bad. Some things seemed a little off. Seemed like their willful praise at dropping out of school was a bit overboard. But other than that they're kind of liberal. Beards, pants in service for Sara, this dude walks in off the street and they say "as long as you're not intimate you can date"...

Also the guy's mother was a real bitch, even if she is right

Hah!!

You must be referring to "Worlds Apart", or "Tu Verdener"...

I like that movie - have watched it about 10 times, now...

The guy's mother - I really liked HER character, though I also liked "Sara's" mother, too... I say, turn his mother LOOSE on those elders - "sic 'em!"

Loved the english subtitles, this time. I saw glimpse of this film a while back.

Just watched all 8 sections.

''Very selfish of you to come here Sara (funeral) it hurt us all''

''dad, do you love jehovah more than me?''.......''yes''.......''why''?.......''because he created me and will give me eternal life''.....''dad, thats very selfish of you''.

Best lines of the film.

Very well done. The elders seemed VERY liberal!

I wonder whow many Danes saw this movie and what effect it had on the country.

i even stayed up past 3 to watch it all

a lot of the parts hit so close to home like the akwardness in explaining crazy beliefs and the shunning

gonna watch again in the future

Thanks for sharing Bala!

I did notice 3 interesting things in the film, that may be put down to being Europe?...

1. The elder with a beard

2. All prayers were said with eyes open

3. Sara was wearing what looked like Jeans out in F/S in one scene.
