Confessions of a Teenage Jesus Jerk

Its not a documentary,itsnot a mocumentary either,but what religous sturdyness can do to people,young as old is amazing,both in a good or bad sense . i shall not decide whats right,but having grown up in a less to one per cent religious environment,i'm thankfull to my parents for that. after watching this well acted movie . in fact ,it has the ambitions of a great comedy,but it isnt,even though i giggeled inbetween. you will not regret it if your watching it,and by all means,dont ask for permission......

Growing up as a Jehovah's Witness myself, the film is very relatable, a good peek into what it's like as a teen in the religion. Very worth a watch even if you have never been involved with any JWs.

As I watched it I thought this had to be written by someone who experienced growing up as a Jehovah Witness as the authenticity and the struggles were so accurately portrayed. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and felt the character development was tremendous - the main actor in particular was extraordinary.

This film shows a smidge of how a Jehovah's Witness life is like in this religion. Totally on point about life inside the JW cult. To think this is just one person's story, but still, you get the picture painted nicely and get the idea of how screwed up things are inside this cult. The book Crisis of Conscience was in this movie and as a Jehovah's Witness, if you're caught reading it, it can be extremely devastating and brutal. I enjoyed everything in this film. The acting was brilliant! It also was beautifully shot and produced and defiantly keeps ones attention to the very end as the story intensely unfolds. Bravo!!! This is a must-see motion picture!!!

I used to live in Belgium, in a big city, where Jehovah's Witnesses were constantly harassing people trying to get you on their train of ridiculous beliefs. I really enjoyed talking to them, just to let them see how dumb they sounded, but I have to admit it's like talking to a wall, a bunch of brainwashed retards from the Middle Ages. I talked with them for hours, mainly just to amuse myself, and to answer their questions with scientific facts, and sometimes I saw the younger ones that were not completely brainwashed yet that there might be a logical answer to their questions. The elder of their groups are just lost forever, no reasoning with those mentally challenged ones. Now I live in Spain, very remote, and never have anybody knocking on my door anymore. Jehovah's Witnesses are now replaced by very catholic people, they basically believe the same nonsense but don't harass you about it. To me it doesn't matter what you believe, whether you're Muslim, Catholic, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness, or whatever other of thousands religions, as long as you keep your disillusions for yourself and don't harm anybody, be my guest, but I'm entitled to believe you're all a bunch of idiots, that's my belief. That said this movie is a good representation of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I can say that as I know a couple of friends that used to be in this sect, before they finally saw the light and left their congregations to live a normal life, and finally truly enjoy life like everybody should. Confessions Of A Teenage Jesus Jerk is more a coming of age movie, about children questioning everything and experiencing their sexuality. To me all religions are crazy, but some are just a bit crazier than others, Jehovah's Witness is one of them. The movie is well made, has a comedy touch to it if you're a non-believer, but I can see believers being offended by it, but then again they are so gullable and dumb I wonder if they would really get the irony.
