i found it extremely accurate, and as such, not a pleasant experience.
merely reinforced my certainty regarding the org's venomous teachings & practices.. a very well made film for non-jw's to get a good insight into the minds & attitudes of the cult and its members, but not really one i'd urge faders to go and see.
victim returning to the scene of the crime scenario.. opinions will differ..
I haven’t found anything that wasn’t a perfect portrait of the JW community. All the dialogs and terms are extremely accurate and the only thing that surprise me it that the JWs say “cheers” when they drink
I though that it’s some kind of toast and the JWs didn’t say that (in my country it’s usual to say “salut” which of course a JW will never say)

I’ve just saw the movie and I have to congratulate all the people envolved on this production.
My overall opinion of the movie is good, but I am biased because I was raised as JW. I think the movie makes a lot more sense to JW/ex-JW viewers because there are a lot of narratives and quirks that only an “insider” can understand. Also that parts contribute to a very slow narrative rhythm (the same story can be told with all the relevant parts in less than a hour) and it will be difficult to catch to the viewers attention (the photography of the film is average so the film main focus is the drama/dialogs).
Comparing to the other movie (the verdener or worlds appart), I think that this movie is less “mainstreaming” and some “Non JW” people will find the film boring and not peculiarly interesting (“is a drama” isn’t an excuse).
I highlight the following parts (NO SPOILERS)
- the big suprise at the half of the movie (I wasn’t expected that, at least so soon in the narrative - good work on the argument)
- how they expose the blood issue - the famous awake magazine with all the martyr kids was a must and it will add a concise proof to the general public/journalists that this issue it’s real and there are many victims
- the judicial meeting based on the famous audio recording of that girl that cries out in tears when she is trying to be reinstated - again that will add a material proof that this is not some “apostate lies” and that kind of situations already occurred
new expose' jw film coming the 27th of july, 2018. .

I've tried to rent the movie from Amazon but I was unable to succeed because it requires a US credit card (I live in Europe)

It strikes me once again that two of the countries with the strongest growth, Brazil and Angola, are both Portuguese speaking countries. I wonder if there is any reason for that. Portugal itself is also growing, in contrast to most of Europe.
You cannot consider a real growth in Portugal, on the last few years Portugal are decreasing the numbers/having an anemic growth. It follows the trends of the general Europe where all the major countries are stagnanting
About the Brazil, it is a very peculiar country and very proficuous to all of Christian sects and evangelical movements (see the news about some of Christian political candidates)
About the African countries, unfortunately they aren’t fully developed countries with high poverty and illiteracy rates and whe all know that was a perfect territory for the Jdubs “harvest” more followers

sorry if my topic question was difficult to understand (english is not my native language).
i will like to know the year when the so called “blood fractions” was available as an alternative to a whole blood transfusion.
my question is triggered by the curiosity about how long jw died or put their life at risk, refusing that type of treatment before the year 2000 (when the “new light” allowed that type of treatment).. thank you.
OrphanCrow, you completely answer my questions (I have no idea of JWs are some of the ”guinea pigs” on some medical trials, I thought that was a big gap between the availability of the treatment and the JWs acceptance)
👏👏👏 for your posts

“Are you asking if there was a time lag between the blood products being available to the JW patient and being available to the general population”
yes, that is my main question.
Imagine the immunoglobulin injections now they are “allowed” by the cult, but I think that for some amount of time (I don’t know specifically how much years ) they are presented by the medical community as an optional treatment and the JWs rejected that option because the blood prohibition.

Thank you both.
Another question:
when the medicine presents the “blood fractions” treatments as a possibility for any patient?
(I know there will be a difference between the date of the “invention” of the technology involved to produce the sub-products and the date when they became widely available for the majority of the patients)
