After finishing season 6, episode 5, it occurred to me that, if the JWs were right, (they’re not), the “new system” would end up being very much like this. Picture the Commanders as the elders.
It’s a riveting series. I wanted to see it, because I read the book when it first came out. It became one of my top 10 favorite books.
They even call their country Gilead.
Never heard of it. Will check it out....thanks!
Enjoyed watching it ,not yet watched season 6 yet .
Oppressive controlling religious government especially the control of women .
The double standards of the commanders and the dominance of some of them over other commanders.
Certainly not limited to jws ,all religions exercise control over its followers.
The film heretic with hugh grant is worth the watch as well, involved two mormon girls but could include other religions as well.
Oppressive controlling religious government especially the control of women .
Yeah all that is playing out in Islam but you dare not mention it, especially in the UK or you will have the modern day brown shirts knocking at your door.
Sea Breeze, read the book first.
Sea Breeze, I predict you will find it a heart warming tale of how a proper godly society should be run.

I have to disagree. If the current elders had free rein , maybe. But I know mature dubs who look forward to the New World so as to see an end to the current regime of elders. Their belief is that God and Jesus Christ will then be in charge, making the decisions based on real Christian principles with insight, not flawed men.

Thanks, Blondie. I was thinking about this story.
