  my husband and i had the wonderful opportunity to see this movie in portland oregon.

  it is produced by gregorio smith.

  he was raised in the jehovah's witness religion, and shows this movie from that point of view.

  I do respect your opinon problemaddict, and I understand. At the same time, not everyone there was a JW, exJW, or anything to do with the Watchtower whatsoever. One gentleman said that he had no idea what it is like from the inside perspective. He agreed that this religion needs to be exposed. Like you say it is only a beginning, and if this is what it takes I applaud Gregario and his team for all their efforts. It could not have been easy. Most importantly it simply tells the story of what is taken from you as a JW. There is no free thought, no dreams, no goals, for yourself that is. After seeing the movie, and hearing Jehovah in the movie so many times, it left me with the feeling that Jehovah is a very selfish God, to take some of the smallest and most innocent of things from a child.

  I hope it does make it Australia smiddy. Thanks Trevor, yes Nathan is an outspoken man. Not too hard on the eyes either. ;)

  This is a very good start. I think that once this takes off, it will grow like wildfire.

  Yes I do mean Nate Quarry, he introduced himself to me as Nathan, and Gregario Smith. I got to speak to Nathan before the movie started, he is a very kind man. He listened and understood what I was telling him. I told him that I have been out of the JW religion for over 23 years, and I recently recieved a call from my son-in-law, telling me why he can't bread with me. Mind you my son-in-law who I rarely see anyway. THEN about a week later, I get a call from my daughter, whom I also don't speak to very often, she wanted to let me know that talking to me has been really bothering her conscience. So she has decided ........ again....... to shun me. So, any of this make sense to you? No me neither, so the one thing we agreed upon is that too much of what the Watchtower does to its members, those born into and ex members of it's religion is kept quiet, and hidden, and it must be brought out into the open. It is the only way to stop the mental abuse.

  Captain, what the producer is trying to acheive right now is to expose what is going on within this restrictive religion. For now the screenings are being set up in city after city. I want for my youngest daughter who was raised a JW and left to see this movie. She will really be able to relate to it. Trust that eventually the producer did say that we will be able to purchase a copy. This movie really hits home, because it is so much more than a book. People besides JW's and ex JW's are seeing it.

  Truth be Told is also on Facebook too, you will recognize the Watchtower. So anybody interested can sort of keep an eye on what is going on. Although I think he will stop all the likes, when they get to 144,000. ;) just kidding. :)

  My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to see this movie in Portland Oregon. It is produced by Gregorio Smith. He was raised in the Jehovah's Witness religion, and shows this movie from that point of view. When it was over we had questions and answers with Gregario, and also with Nathan, who also was interviewed in the movie.

  One thing thats must happen is to make this movie a success, and let the rest of the world know the hell that is going on inside of those Kingdom Hall walls.

  If you live around the Massachusettes area and can see this movie it is well worth your time. If you are still inside the Watchotwer and want to see it, I hope you can find the courage to attend, you won't be sorry.

  Good bye to you my friend. He did the honors of walking me down the aisle at my wedding. Never judge a book by it's cover. Rick Henry (animal), had a huge heart, and never liked to see anyone in pain. I am blessed to have known him. What sad news. :(

  my mom had her valve replacement and triple by-pass surgery today.

  the operation lasted five hours, and they had just gotten her to her room at 8:00pm when she went into cardiac arrest.

  the doctor tried everything, even opening up her chest and massaging her heart.

  Thank you Prisca, Englishman, Dansk and SYN.

  It does seem contagious, I think Jes and pr-capone are now legally wed. Bikerchic and onacruse. One other, who are they now?

  Let me take a moment to say thank you Simon for creating this place where so many exjws show up and make friends. I know that you, Lew and myself have crossed paths before, but if this board were not here, Lew and I would have never met.
