Back in 1980 we built a brand new hall , and someone from bethel came to give several talks, ( we had a type of weekend celebration for this).
The person who came to our hall was Ulysses Glass, I don't remember if he was part of the governing body or not.
He was a very nice man, completely opposite of the wt leaders of today.
Anyway, the narrator from the 1st film sounds exactly like he did.

Arizona Republic: Bisbee man confesses he's molesting his daughter. Church tells bishop not to report abuse to authorities
by AndersonsInfo injehovah's witnesses are mentioned in this excellent article that begins by reporting on an especially awful mormon child sexual abuse case.
the article then discusses the issue of the penitent privilege exemption which former jws working through scaars.org are trying to influence state lawmakers to eliminate.. .

There was an excellent article several months ago regarding an elder from my old hall who knew about an abuse case for years. Yet he never reported it to the police. He warned the hall about the abuser, nothing else. https://www.nwherald.com/2019/10/23/crystal-lake-man-found-guilty-of-more-than-decade-of-sex-abuse/a4fuium/

In Chicago we were required to buy a parking pass for the district assemblies.
That turned out to be a big scam as I remember.

I was raised Catholic up until 12 years old, then my parents became jw. Was a witness until 48, but during this time I could never stomach all of their teachings. And I remember that when you don't follow every belief, teaching, according to the jw way of thinking, there is something wrong with your spirituality.
When I walked away, I dealt with the same dilemma you are experiencing. I looked at other religions, and on my own studied what they believed, ( warning please don't join a free study or anything along that line). I noticed how each religion attempted to mold me into their line of thinking.
So at this point I have gone full circle. I attend Catholic services occasionally, and have gotten involved in several of their volunteer endeavors such as helping children dealing with problems, assisting elderly ones , and by experiencing the results from these opportunities I'm learning to develop my own personal relationship with God. Being spiritual I've discovered is something that comes from an individuals heart, not someone telling me what to do. Being involved to a certain extent with a religion helps keep me focused on what is important in life. Ceremonies, prayer, and readings pull me back to what I grew up with and make me realize what is important to me. Getting involved 110% like the witnesses way of living did was just so wrong, developing my own relationship with God is a wonderful thing. Good luck with your journey !

At the beginning he says, "Throw all your anxiety on Jehovah".
I did, and he very directly showed me a way out of the jw organization.

I seem to remember some type of comment being made at the district assembly at Hawthorne Racetrack back in the early 80's that the tribulation was about to be starting because of a political comment made about peace and security.

The radicals make me feel like I have to defend Trump when I don't want to because of their crazy lies.
by JimmyYoung inas i have stated in other posts i voted for trump because he said he would crack down on illegals while the left was trying to open the flood gates and let them in to destroy the nation.
was he the one i wanted in 16, no i was hoping for cruz.
he is arrogant but smart and somewhat polished and had many views like i do.

The movie you mention is on Netflix, and I watched it tonight.
Being a Humane Investigator, I deal with abusers quite often. (Dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep and pigs) This show in my opinion was based on young adults not thinking, and then suddenly acting like rational adults in order to promote their viewpoint.
If you are against abuse of any kind, be civil in your protest / complaints. Threatening people, and families, causing property damage, and acting like the silent Nazi arm of the peta organization turns people off. I totally agree with the protestors anger toward animal abuse, but their methods of accomplishing their mission turned me off right away.
