    I think of several movies and/or books regarding Witness mindset. This is one of my favorites:

    Ever see this response when you say something not along party lines?

    Some of my other fave pop-cultural relationships to JWness are:

    • Wizard of Oz
    • 1984
    • Fahrenheit 451
    • The Matrix (not the crappy sequels)
    • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (as illustrated above)
    • V for Vendetta (you should also read the Alan Moore graphic novel -- comic book)

    Really there are elements of each that may entirely or in some part relate to the manipulation to mind control that I've seen. These are just off the top of my head.

    What are your favorites?

    Invasion of the Body Snatchers (I prefer the original version) is analagous in so many ways to what happens to people who become JWs it is uncanny. Remember, once they became 'Pod" people, even though they looked and sounded the same, the givaway was their lack of normal human emotions and their drive to convert others. I once jokingly told a brother who had started a bible study to hide a pod under the persons bed. He got the joke. Little did I realize how true it was.

    LOL - Donald Sutherland - classic pic. 'V for Vendetta' I saw for the first time only recently. The other movies do resonate too. Love The Matrix.

    But don't forget ...

    "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." It works on so many levels.

    The Village! That was the one I was trying to pull from the back of my mind!

    The Twilight Zone episode: To See The Invisible Man is good too. Shunning used as a government imposed punishment.
