    Indiana Jones 3...we had Elders going to this movie. Life of Brian stoning people who say Jehovah...so funny! Even "Supergirl" where someone knocks on the door of the secret hideout and the villain says "if that's those damn Jehovahs Witnesses again!" We were a real 1970-2018 pain in the ass.

    Here's another movie which featured JWs in some way: Blue Velvet (1986) by David Lynch.

    Laura Dern's character Sandy is asked by Jeffrey Beaumont (played by Kyle MacLachlan) to pose as a JW because he has a few Awake magazines and wants to get into someone's house as a pest-control guy. Sandy is supposed to knock after a few minutes, posing as a JW, to see if he's ok.

    i remember watching a "Minder" episode on UK tv---Where Arfur invites 2 witness door knockers in---to make sure he is not "home alone" for some reason. It was hilarious.

    Did any other UK members see it ?

    In Coming to America, John Amos's character gets rid of one of his daughter's suitors who knocked at their front door and --not wanting her to know who it was-- claims it was JWs.

    I believe that in the original version of Frankenstein, one of the people in the first scene makes a reference to Jehovah, though obviously not to the JWs, who would have only adopted the name around that time.

    Stan - Did any other UK members see it ?

    No. I was at the meeting.

    there was an episode of Space 1999 where Commander Koenig replied to a statement about God, 'You mean Jehovah?'

    Wasn't there a mental monkey in Family Guy that brandished a Watchtower from a wardrobe?

    There was a movie released in 2017 (in which Emna Thompson plays a judge) titled "The Children Act".

    It.s a little morbid but worth a watch!
