Hi everyone
For those of you who are interested in how a major UK news channel covers cults, see this politically-flavoured report on Mormonism....

When you watch the report, the parallels with Jehovah's Witnesses (even in this brief film) are intriguing, right down to the young clean-cut lad delivering a talk at his local congregation, and the cheesy video promoting the Church's past, which evokes memories of the "Faith In Action" DVD series featuring the young Charles Taze Russell.
I also find it intriguing that the racist history of the Mormon Church is highlighted by one commentator. As I explained in a recent article (below), the history of Jehovah's Witnesses is similarly besmirched by the dark clouds of racism...

All in all, it's a shame no Jehovah's Witnesses will be running for president any time soon. It would be great if our religion could receive similar exposure by the media!
If you haven't already seen it, I would advise watching the following hilarious video on "why Jehovah's Witnesses are NOT a cult!"
