I'll probably never do it but I was dabbling with the idea of faking an interest in this organisation, getting "recruited", attending all the meetings and pretending to be into it, all while wearing a hidden camera and mic. Maybe I could make a documentary using the footage.
Any thoughts? Have any stuck-ins done anything like this?
you'll probably be unlucky enough to strike one of those real nice genuine Congregations with lovely elders and be sucked into the matrix never to return...

You could probably make it to baptised Dub in 6 months. I don't know how you would explain, or hide, the video.
It sounds like a great project for a Neverbinadub.
A very dangerous exercise.
Would have to have immunisation shots first.
Only the full or unabridged gospel map immunises against (seductive, supremacist and cultic) religion.
The genuine shots contain at least 30 ingredients or markers.
The fake shots only have 1 or 2.
It may be hard to hide your immunity and disgust from virulent Pharisees and their hyper vigilant evil spirit. One imagines the need for a cover story to explain why you are not fully buying in.
I think there are legal ramifications to covertly recording people. It might bite you later when you make the documentary unless you have signed releases from all in range of the mic. But I have been wondering how to do a thing like this. Act like a noob then drag people out...LOL
You can dabble with better things to do!
I was going to say, what's the point?
Here's what you should do:
Become a Social Psychologist and do something a la Leon Festinger's "When Prophecy Fails", infiltrating the Jehovah's Witness cult as the disconfirming event of the 100th anniversary of Christ's invisible return approaches. You and your team can then report on the effects of cognitive dissonance on cult members. It should be fun!
Actually, this is almost my life. . .
If you become super interested, and do major ass kissing you might get dunked in 3 months, heard of those before but who would want to go through the ordeal of major ass kissing.
Like someone said, what's the point? So you'll get a video of boring meetings, of dubs saying how close the end is, how they look forward to living in a peaceful new earth..... So what exactly will that accomplish? Chances of you stumbling upon a pedophile, are very small. Uncovering some sort of fraud that wts does like how they charge dubs for assemblies or parking that's included in their DC contracts? Won't happen unless you're extremly lucky, again chances of any juicy info caught on tape is like winning a lottery. You're not going to get to an elderhood for a good 3 years if you're super ass kisser and I'm talking about minimum times I've heard of people moving up. WTS isn't a cult where you can get some material advantage, or in fact any advantage to yourself of your family so why bother with a group of boring people while forcing yourself to preach lies to others just to get dunked for a prank?
A lot of congregations have good people that are deluded and under mind control. There is no occult practices, there is no wierd enough stuff going on that would make most people interested in a documentary. Most witnesses are boring, have no lives and live with a hope this world will end soon so they can start enjoying real life - all this while they grow older and their life passes them by.
I wonder if that's part of the plan. There's very little chance of someone from the outside coming in and running a congregation within a few years.
