Hello everyone! It has been quite a long time that I have posted on here. I hope everyone is well!
I went to high school with a girl who is now out in California. She and her now husband (Bryan Storkel-see his IMDb page) do documentaries by themselves and others. They typically highlight hypocrisy or other double standards. "Fight Church" and "Holy Roller Christians" are a couple of movies they made.
I was chatting with my friend on Facebook and mentioned to her the idea of the doing a documentary on Scientology, Mennonite, Amish, JW and other well known religions that shun to the degree we know all too well about. I think it is a dirty little secret that needs some exposure and if we can help tell it, I think this is the best place to start.
If anyone has any clips of meetings, or assemblies where shunning is the featured topic, or personal stories on how it was done to you, how it felt, etc. Or if you have that creative brain, and have thought of ideas for a documentary, how to keep attention, etc. please share. I really enjoyed Bill Maher's "Religilous" and keep thinking of something like that.
Perhaps email is best for this? PM me and I will send you my email and we can go from there. I will be passing on the info to my friend, Amy Storkel.
Funny enough, she was raised super duper religious, think pentacostal apostolic, and I went over a few lessons in the Live Forever book with her as a young teen. She actually held her own, it was pretty interesting. She now considers herself a Christian, but likes to point out all of the hypocrisy and falsehoods that she can through her art.
If you are on my Facebook, feel free to shoot me notes through there too.
Hope to hear from you guys soon!
