Witnesses of Jehovah goes behind the scenes to reveal how the Watchtower Society holds tyrannical control over the lives of its 6,400,000 members. In the United States alone, over 1.2 million Jehovah's Witnesses spend more than 184 million hours each year peddling their counterfeit gospel door to door. If a true Christian actually engages them in a discussion - they quickly find out that the Jehovah's Witness is better verse in their belief's than most Christians. To assist you in being better informed and "always ready to give a defense hope the hope that is in you"this cutting edge documentary traces the history of the Watch Tower from its first day penetrating the schemes, scams, and the false prophecies used by this pseudo-Christian cult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the smiling faces at the door fool you!, October 7, 2008

I highly recommend this very informative documentary especially for anyone anticipating becoming a JW, for those who were in this cult, for those who have friends and/or relatives who are JWs, and for Christians in general who wish to educate themselves into the "ins and outs" of this religion.

As an ex-JW and as one who's viewed this film many times, I say to you don't let the smiling faces at the front door fool you. Satan also, no doubt, smiled as he tempted the first couple in the Garden to disobey God. He uses, through this cult, similar tactics to sway helpless, lonely, depressed and despondent people into being sucked into this outwardly attractive yet dangerously deceptive and unkind, oppressive cult.
This film unlocks the truth behind those wolves in sheeps' clothing, ever ready to trap any unsuspecting soul.

This documentary should serve as solid proof that the Watchtower organization constitutes nothing short of spiritual rape.....the fruits of which are devastating.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Along the Watchtower, March 21, 2008

By 

Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Witnesses of Jehovah (DVD)

"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.
