Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

FYI Curzon Artificial Eye announced as UK distributors for Apostasy
'Apostasy', 'Foxtrot',’ 'The Guardians' head to the UK with CurzonScreen Daily, Tuesday, October 3, 2017
Curzon Artificial Eye has added to its burgeoning UK distribution slate with the acquisition of three premium festival titles.
Curzon has also moved for Daniel Kokotajlo’s feature debut Apostasy, which premiered at Toronto in the Discovery programme. Based on Kokotajlo’s own experiences growing up in a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the film was produced through Creative England’s iFeatures programme.
All three titles will play at this month’s BFI London Film Festival.
Louisa Dent, MD of Curzon Artificial Eye, commented: "We already had a number of excellent films amongst the programmes of TIFF and Venice but it is a pleasure to add these three exceptional titles to our slate. Apostasy deftly handles a complex issue with assurance and this is a remarkable debut. Xavier (Xavier Beauvois - The Guardians) and Samuel (Samuel Moaz - Foxtrot) will be familiar to UK audiences and these two films cement their position as world class auteurs. We look forward to premiering these exciting films at the forthcoming BFI London Film Festival."

Crazyguy: The article doesn't say how many victims are suingthe WT, dies anyone know?
In Quebec the rate was $250,000 CAN each ($203,000 US)
Therefore $66million / $250,000 = 264

UnshackleTheChains: So what I would like to know is if anyone has further information about 'The boys in Pennsylvania'? Who are they? Is there pictures of Watchtowers Pennsylvania buildings etc?
Annual meetings of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania have been held since January of 1885 - they are now held annually each October - the next one is this coming weekend!!!!
Watchtower January 15, 2001, page 29The Pennsylvania corporation is not the only legal entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses. There are others. One is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Incorporated. It facilitates our work in the United States. Jehovah’s blessing has clearly been upon that corporation, though its directors and officers have been mainly of the “other sheep.” The International Bible Students Association is used in Britain. Other legal entities are used to promote Kingdom interests in other lands.
Kingdom Ministry January 2002, page 7New Corporations Formed
The January 15, 2001, issue of The Watchtower reported on the organized way in which Jehovah’s Witnesses are continuing to move forward with the Kingdom work in all the earth. It also explained how various legal entities are used as instruments to facilitate the spreading of the good news. Such entities or corporations are necessary to conform to local and national laws, as required by God’s Word. (Rom. 13:1) Because of the diversity and scope of our work, the Governing Body has approved the formation of additional corporations to care for certain needs of Jehovah’s Witnesses here in the United States. The new corporations are as follows:
Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses
Religious Order of Jehovah’s Witnesses (AKA Bethelites / vow of poverty )
Kingdom Support Services, Inc. (AKA http://used-tools-equipment.com )
These will operate along with Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc. Congregations and publishers may receive correspondence from any of these corporations. Your cooperation with these adjustments made by the Governing Body in fulfilling its assignment to care for all the Master’s belongings will be greatly appreciated. - Matt. 24:45-47.
Side note: I believe the above American-based article did NOT appear in all the KMs in other countries - for example in the British edition it was replaced with news that the previously announced (at the June / July 2001 Conventions) possibility of the Britain Branch Bethel being relocated had been CANCELLED.
There is another letter heading that the WT uses - namely 'Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses'Letter To All Congregations: April 22, 2014

Wild_Thing: Does anybody have any insight into the current status of this case?
As the dates on the dockets show, this case has been ongoing for a couple of years now.
It has also been discussed here a few times - Reveal News (first link below) also wrote an article about it, so may be they'll be doing a follow-up....

London Underground: im not sure why my first post yesterday was deleted
TBH I wasn't. For those wondering...
Thread title: # 1st post-# OUTING A PEADO in LONDON, CLAPHAM UK.- [redacted] came to meet a 12y old Girl BUT got busted, confessed to being a JW?
Redacted summary: The OP was based on a video from a certain vigilante paedophile online hunter group - they pretend to be the under-age recipient of online/mobile phone messages and arrange to meet suspected paedophiles in real-life and then film the encounter and post it onto youtube etc etc.
Towards the end of one such 20-minute long video, the OP thought that the 21 year-old man who was being confronted, appeared to, quite genuinely, confess that they where a JW.
The OP was asking if this man was still a JW.
