They are the hosts of the first JW documentary in 1986 entitled, "Witnesses of Jehovah." They authored a book of the same name. They were probably in their late 40's / early 50's in 1986, so I was wandering if they were still active or even alive?
For (possibly) anyone not familiar, here is the free 1-hr documentary on Youtube:
Now, I've also found their personal testimony from an early pre-viewing of this documentary expose on Youtube as well. It is VERY insightful as to how they were recruited into the JW's, what woke them up over the years (culminating in and around 1975), and how they eventually left. They are very talkative and it's an easy listen thru some good studio headphones. Here it is:
The Chretien's ex-JW testomony
The "Witnesses of Jehovah" documentary has brief interviews with Ray Franz, Peter Gregerson, Carl Olaf Johnson, Dr. Julies R. Mantey, and others. Even though this was released in 1986, I didn't discover it until 2002 online, and it was like a punch to the gut. To see everything laid out, the evidence, the history of false prophecy, the interviews and experiences......blew me away. I showed my (disenfranchised) POMI JW mother, and she actually ordered both of Ray's books before me!
Anyway, I don't feel the Chretien's get nearly enough credit, and I'm just curious as to whatever happened to them. I know they had their own Outreach Ministry back in the 80's, but haven't really found anything of them since. I hope they are living a good, rewarding, life.
