At least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of Jehovah's Witnesses' Organization.
1. Douglas Quenqua is a writer based in New York. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Wired, Redbook, and CNBC. As part of a Pennsylvania television (possible) documentary, this journalist is asking intelligent questions of seasoned activist Ex-Dubs
as to Organizational culpability in ruining former members' lives through insidious policies, lies, and cover-ups.
2. *Elizabeth Vargas, the Journalist, interviewed our own Barbara Anderson and A&E network are about to air the child molesting scandal issue delving into background machinations and ongoing lawsuits. (A recent legal filing in NY by Anderson to the Attorney General is no laughing matter.)
3. As I write these words, Leah Remini (expose' of Scientology) and A&E are taping a new series presentation on Jehovah's Witnesses with a broadside aimed at the corruption of Organization and its practices and victim impact due to child abuse mishandling.

*Journalist Elizabeth Vargas has announced:
Nine 60-minute episode series, two-night premiere on Monday, May 28 and Tuesday, May 29 at 10 pm ET/PT
Organizations that will be explored in Season 1 include (not in broadcast order):
- NXIVM (Series Premiere)
- Twelve Tribes
- Sanctuary Church
- United Nation of Islam
- Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
- Jehovah’s Witnesses
_______Leah Remini is at this moment heading up a new unscripted special at A&E in the works that will tackle the intricacies of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The star has a previous first-look production deal with the network to produce unscripted series following the success of her Emmy-winning show “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Remini will produce a special for the network during the break following Season 3 of the acclaimed docuseries.
It notes that Jehovah’s Witnesses, while based on Biblical teachings, have come under fire over the years for similar practices to the Church Remini left years ago. For example, practices of ousting or shunning members who have dissenting views, a blanket refusal to participate in politics and government as well as not celebrating Christmas or birthdays are all things that the special will reportedly cover. Additionally, the religion has predicted the literal end of the world several times, obviously to no avail.
