They get caught by the bad guys at the end anyway, don't get what thier point is to the video? Of course I haven't seen it all they way either.

To prepare the congregations/JWs for the authorities that will be showing up to arrest the elders for non-reporting of child abuse. And all the abusers on the 'secret list' that the WTS is so jealously guarding
The spin is Great Tribulation. Persecution

They are glorifying the idea of being martyrs.... they are normalising the idea that because "we are attacked, we must have Jehovahs backing".
Its propaganda 101...

It's all in the preconditioned JW mindset.
You are a JW rank-and-file publisher and there is a knock on the door. It's three elders who want to discipline (punish) you for not reporting the wrongdoing of a JW to the elders = religious freedom.

To show that "Hank" was not going to beat the shit out of them when they left town.

The thing is I was always under the impression as a JW that during the GT when the "beast turns on the harlot and eats up her fleshy parts" (sounds like Hanninbal Lecter)that JWs would still be faithfully carrying out their preaching work under the very noses of the authorities and that's what would get our asses arrested, not that we would be hunted down and dragged out of our own homes. So obviously WT thinks that in the near future sitting in your tastefully appointed basement chatting peacefully will be a crime worthy of arrest. Give me a break!
The whole thing raises more questions that it answers.
Why were they arrested? They weren't doing anything, it makes no sense.
How did the police know where to look?
Did they sieze publisher record cards to find out where JWs live?
Where are the GB and what the hell are they doing when all this is supposedly going on?
The point of the videos? Pure unadulterated fear porn brought to you by JWdotborg.

I do remember hearing on the video that brother so-and-so had left the 'Truth' right in the middle of the "great tribulation". I'm figuring he snitched on them and their location.

The theme of loyalty comes to its conclusion in the bunker video. All you need to do is remain together as JWs and you'll be saved. Kevin left and didn't make it through.

The bunker video was produced to set the rank and file up for what is coming down the pipeline. WT will eventually have to answer for the child abuse cases. When they do, they will pull the persecution card out and use it to what they think will be to their advantage.
