a gloomy movie.
i disagree. But then it is a British film--and i am a Brit. I really enjoyed it..but it could have run longer. I bought the dvd, still have it somewhere.
daniel 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.

so last night my bible study group was discussing the healing of the blind man in john's gospel.
ch 9 .
the man's parents were reluctant to say much on the subject.
i couldnt be disfellowshipped ! So said the congregation overseer...because i had resigned from the religion years before...but i did attend meetings sometimes to appease the wife. Instead it was announced that i should be shunned as an apostate. That was announced in my absence..and it drew a firm line under any more involvement with the cult.
me i slowly came to see religion was a crutch we use to dream of a better "afterlife"....i feel half my life was wasted building an organisation that had no criminal mastermind behind it...just alot of mislead people looking for leadership.
if your still religious explain why..
i was born atheist.
now--i dont believe anything, just to be on the safe side.
isnt that where the watchtower got the " elder" idea from ?
do they allow premarital sex ?
purple haze by jimi hendrix.. f**king awesome, gotta say.. enjoy .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgodayjdfsg .
first off, i have made it real clear with jw's my thoughts on being a jw.
i'm out, there is no coming back.. second, i'm on their " do not call list" .. so why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?.
don't they follow their do not call list?
i had such a letter recently. Beautiful handwriting..from a lady called Christina. As i tore it up--unread--i pondered how much she spends on postage stamps.
i’d like to marry my best friend of 30+ years, turned ‘secret’ girlfriend of 1 ½ years who is a jehovah’s witness, born into it, baptized and an active ‘pioneer’.
our marriage would happen prior to letting any of her jw friends and cohorts know that we are together.
once married she may simply come forward and ‘admit’ or we may wait until it’s found out – one way or the other, the reason for this marriage is not customary – i am hoping that by doing so she can avoid being ‘marked’ or possibly ‘disfellowshipped’ once our relationship is no longer a secret and due to our already being married at that point, there can be no notion from society elders about her ending the relationship.
Either you are trolling us,
exactly my thoughts yesterday.

seems like the best thing that can happen for her. She will quickly see the truth about "the truth".
