This is just meant to be a fun topic.
What are some TV and movie snippets that summarize the conformity and extremism of Watchtower life in general?
I found this trailer for The Giver to be dead on :-)
It shows what happens when you start to openly question the organization and its policies.

Great thread! Great clip because it has all the right terminology too!!! Amazing!!!
This is what popped straight into my mind. It hasn't got the right terminology but the whole clip can be adapted and here's how I see a it;
The boy is an awoken JDUB (and is exactly how I feel, makes me tear-up). The young male panel member is an elder (always complying with being over-ridden), the female panel member is if a (asleep) sister was allowed to sit as an elder, the older male panel member is a GB member (offering an assignment at the end), the audience are the witnesses, the guy in his room is an exJdub who's still indoctrinated and the crying girl in the room is an exjdub who knows TTATT! Actually the whole movie is worth a watch, the bikes are the ministry, the high point collectors are pioneers, the foul rude guys are fence sitters, the whole environment is like Bethel. See what you think...
@jw07,
Thanks, I'll watch that one with my still-in wife ;-)
@jw07 - Yeah, I liked how he always chose the apple as it was the closest to real food but even that was grown in a Petri dish - The day's text would have been the vendor!
I just watched the movie, and will be reading the book soon (it's on my short list). Le Petit Prince
"I will grow up, and I will never be a grownup like you!"
That sums up my life's philosophy
