"Witnesses of Jehovah" is a chilling, insider's account of the Watchtower Bible&Tract Society. For Jeremiah Films, "Witnesses of Jehovah" is surprisingly accurate, it's more documentary than propaganda. Instead of being an ill-informed tirade,this documentary shows the chilling,cultic world of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are primarily known for bringing their tracts door-to-door. There are prominent celebrity Witnesses such as Michael Jackson (who claimed to have given tracts to kids at malls while in a fake beard), Prince, and the late Tejano singer Selena. This documentary reveals their "teachings" as well as their deadly consequences.
"Witnesses of Jehovah" begins with Charles Taze Russell,who was swept into the fervor of the mid-19th century predicting the apocalypse. He started the "Bible Students." They carefully followed his distinctive interpretations of the Bible. He predicted the end of the world in 1914--for Bible Students,the outbreak of WWI confirmed their beliefs. Nothing happened. Russell also taught that Jehovah lived in the Pleiades (Witnesses still believe that Jehovah has a "spirit body" and lives in the heavens),and was into pyramidology. There's a pyramid on his grave. His successor,"Judge" Rutherford turned the Bible Students into the Jehovah's Witnesses there are today. He had mansions built for Biblical patriarchs. His desire for control turned the JWs into the present-day cult. Rutherford controlled his followers' everyday lives, constantly predicting the apocalypse,dissuading them from attending college, marrying, and starting families. (Current Watchtower publications often interview senior married couples who don't have children let alone grandchildren) The Watchtower still has an iron grips on its followers--- to the point of forbidding parents from getting necessary blood transfusions for their children. One chilling scene is of a couple telling how their elders intimidated them into letting their infant child die from anemia.
"Witnesses of Jehovah" has many strengths--it draws from history,it's accurate,it has the firsthand experiences of former Witnesses. It's heartbreaking and true. Jeremiah Films accurately shows the cult within the Watchtower.
