Has anyone seen this show yet? It was really hard for me to watch the first episode in its entirety. I haven't yet. It's so hard to see these young people have to decide between their family/religion vs. freedom or be shunned from everything/one.
Or... maybe it's because this is my life? hmm... depressing.
They REALLY need a "Breaking JW" show. This gives me ideas... :)
No loading, I haven't seen it. But, your idea for a Breaking JW is a good one.
Did anyone ever call you "four eyes?"or say "you have chicken legs"? Or that "your smile is a little crooked"?
Just teasing. I'm looking at your avatar!
I haven't watched it, but have "surfed" it.
Yes, the parallels between JW life - especially for young people who are discouraged from attending college - and the cloistered Amish, are pretty clear.
I'd bet that the Watchtower boys would put a quick end to any attempt to duplicate that show using JW youths... Too bad. I'd love to see something like, "Shunned Jehovah's Witnesses!" show up on reality TV - it could be SO much more dramatic...
I've been trying to upload a new picture but Gravatar is giving me grief. AND I can't even paste it in this reply.
How would the WT stop a show like that? What can they do? Just curious.
Bummer!
If it's any consolation, my new computer has had a TON of problems - still isn't working right...
Keep trying - perhaps you'll figure it out. There may be online tutorials or forums that could give you some ideas.
ok wait a damn minute
a religion, that is so terrified of technology they won't even drive CARS, has a reality show before the jws???
next thing you know, the amish will have:
all before the flippin jdubs

Lots and lots of expensively-college-educated-at-the-Watchtower-Society's-expense lawyers...
I saw the previews of the show. I can't watch it since I don't have cable. But,it seems interesting.
I also noted that some of those young people featured were adopted by the Amish. I couldn't get over how many children they adopt.
I always thought it would be interesting to have a show featuring Witnesses. But,I'm not sure how it would do in the ratings,it might be boring,unless some wife-swapping congregation was featured.
