shawn_colton-645-763862 I was a Jehovah's Witness for eight years. Disassociated. (That means I left on my own free-will.) The movie is very well made and 100% accurate with the terminology and procedures used by Jehovah's Witnesses. It does not sugar coat the issues between the Watchtower Organization's brutal policy of shunning disfellowshipped family members, nor does it even resolve the issues or comforts the viewer. The movie simply gives us the hard truth of the impact caused by extreme religious indoctrination. One can only watch this and reflect on their own experience.
jackbakerbusiness I was raised as a Jehovah's witnesses and left when I was 18. This is a supremely immense film and very good for ex JWs and Jws alone.
kerry-240-614020 Just about everything that could go wrong for a JW family actually happens in this sad but accurate portrayal of life in the Watchtower culture. Both the acting and the story are superb, and raise troubling questions about raising children in an environment of near total control by the JW organization and local congregation elders. This unvarnished and rare behind the scenes look bears witness to the complete disintegration of one family, and will leave viewers haunted by what they observe.
nick-10552 A must watch for anyone wanting an insight into the world of Jehovah's Witnesses. The attention to detail and accuracy gives viewers a view of this closed community that insiders experience. Whilst not every family experience the situations dealt with in this film, those that do are face with real life or death situations and are governed by the man made rules shown. Well done Dan on bringing this to the public domain.
