I've seen where some former JWs compare the WTS to certain movies or books (such as The Village and 1984). I just wondered what movies or books reminded you of the WTS and why? Did you draw this conclusion before or after you left the organization?
What book or movie most resembles the WTS in your opinion? Why?

The Island.
The Matrix, to me, more resembles the world in general.

The Shawshank Remption. The concept of being institutionalized resonated strongly with the JW environment.

Had all the elements of what it's like to be a JW and what it would be like to live in a world of JWs under a different name.

The Fiddler on the Roof oddly enough. They way that Tevye would not speak to the daughter that married a non-jew. The way the entire community except for the "radical" stayed away from association of the other townsfolk.
