New DVD review
by Laika in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.

as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.

i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].

there will be a cry of peace and security and then sudden destruction be instantly upon them as a snare.

1 th 5:3.. wts have been claiming peace and security in their organisation for years, which of course, has been anything but.

now they are being investigated by the charity commission for their handling of child abuse and other cases.
