Very interesting. I think I'd try it in a hearbeat. I've read what Sting said about it, and so far everyone agrees that it's a life changing experience

I really don't know anyone here, but the invitation is open. If you live close to Brantford Ontario, you're more than welcome to attend the reading. If you're an ex jw and I know you're there, we'll even pull you up on stage to answer some questions if you want. The bad part is that if I know you're there and I get into the mood to play some improve games...

1994 Canadian TV documentary "Children of Jehovah"
by MrMonroe insorry to be a forum shopper, but just in case there's someone here that didn't read it there, i'm wanting to find anyone who remembers a tv doco produced in 1994 for the canadian "rough cuts" series of independent documentaries called "children of jehovah".. it took a devastatingly honest look at the lives of jw teens, showing them begrudgingly doing field service, revealing the tricks they pulled to boost the figures on their monthly reports and talking about what would happen to them if they left the religion.. it appears to be available for $149 as a dvd, but i wonder if anyone taped it at the time or has a copy they could, you know, share.
somehow.. it made quite an impact on me when i watched it on australia's sbs in 1995. does anyone remember it?.

Why was Rutherford sent to prison?
by Alfred inwell that was 93 years ago so well probably never know all the facts.
but the wt claims that russell and others were falsely accused of sedition.
the may 9, 1918 new york times article that covered these arrests and sedition charges states that they were charged with spreading doctrines calculated to promote unrest and disloyalty among the men of the army and navy.

Thanks for the thread buddy. Things are getting interesting. I had to go to Paris to talk to some local churches about support and I was lucky enough to see a real live jw on the streets. The look I got was priceless. I'm glad the article has gotten an interesting debate going as well

Well the JWC@fe is no more...
by serenitynow! ini tried to find it, but it's gone.
as well as the jehovah's witness fb page.
it seems in the recent weeks those sites became "overrun" with apostates and were no longer encouraging.

Man I wish I knew about that site. I have to admit to a very guilty pleasure in winding them up

Very cool to hear that there are other films in the works. If I can be of any assistance, let me know. I'm up in Canada, good and close to the old bethel. I think it's fantastic that people like Jamie are out making films about the borg. My how times have changed, people used to be so scared of the cult that they wouldn't dare say a thing against them.
Now I may have a perverse sense of humour, but we need to break in our camera's, so I was thinking about having some fun just filming them as they exit the hall on a Sunday. It could work in the extra's for the film. I love the looks we would get as they saw us filming. Of course if a big bad elder came around, then we could get to an interview that would be awesome. I just want to see the look of exasperation on their face as we grill them about blood, 1914, aluminum etc. Oh and miracle wheat

I honestly had no idea that I signed up here 4 years ago. When I tried to join today it said I was a member. I'm sure that I probably know a few guys here because I've posted mainly on Ronnie's forum. Anyways, not to sell it too much with a personal agenda, but I was raised in the cult of jw's and I must admit that I think they need to be exposed for what they are. I have a production company and were in the process of making a feature film about the jw's. It's not a doc, and no I won't be asking for money. We're almost ready to go and plan to start filming this coming April. And thanks for the welcome people! Sites like this are a great resource for lurkers and people who just need support leaving the printing press
