Témoins, réveillez-vous

Being a former cult of the Jehovah's Witnesses member for over 35 years, I can tell you from experience being a former elder that this is all true. No Nazi party member has ever been more dedicated to a leader than a JW is to the head of the cult in Wallkill NY. I have seen and been part of many coverups over the years. I left after being in the cult for over 35 years and a 4th generation cult member. It is destructive and will destroy you one way or another. I have family members who live on social security alone because they quit their job at General Motors in the 1970s early when the cult said stay alive till 75 and told us to sell homes and put our full time in the preaching work because the end was soon very soon. I still have the Watchtower bound volume from the late 60s that said not to go to college or even worry about school because this system would not last long enough to use any education or in some cases of attorney law degs or doctors degs in medical would we be able to even finish school, it was that close. They lied to their members ever since CT Russell and his adultery and scams like the miracle wheat. Anyone who is even thinking about this cult should do an extensive google search on the cult. It will scare the crap out of you.

A well done and well executed documentary. Reasoned, well researched, and presented in a logical and clear manner. I image there will be a lot of push-back by the cult members, so I applaud the the victims for their bravery and thank the filmmakers for exposing this tragedy.

It is absolutely nauseating to see the pedophiles are being protected by this cult because they feel that they are above the law. I hope this issue continues to come to light and more lawsuits are filed until Jehovah's Witnesses apologize, change their policies and compensate the victims.

It was well done by Trey Bundy on such a difficult and highly emotional subject but he stuck to the facts and had all the evidence to back up every single thing that was said. The survivors were also excellent and very composed despite the struggles they have endured. It's a shame the Watchtower leadership were not brave enough to appear on camera and give their side of the story. Seems like they have no defence.

Wow - who would have thought that those nice people that knock your door could be criminals!

This was a fantastic insight into a modern day cult and I'm sure that current JWs will dismiss it as 'apostate lies' or 'greedy lawyers'.

Thanks to Trey Bundy and the team for exposing the evil that the Governing Body are still trying to hide.

Within 10 minutes you will know this is not just apostate propaganda. They did their research and have a good understanding of how the organization works and the people coming forward do not have far fetched stories. Going out in field service alone with an older brother, and staying over other couples houses was a common thing. While witnesses will say that this stuff is everywhere and that this doesn't prove this is not Jehovah's organization, what is wrong is how the society handles it.
