I got the large postcard today that apparently is designed to market the movie Knocking to JWs. Under "Knocking Opens the Door on Jehovah's Witnesses," it states:
Knocking was broadcast on PBS and written about in Newsweek, USA Today and newspapers from Detroit to Dallas. Despite stellar reviews and winning four "Best Documentary" awards, many Jehovah's Witnesses have not had an opportunity to view the DVD. Some critics spread false rumors and even boasted how Knocking would fail once Witnesses were scared away. But if you saw Knocking, you know it enlightens the public about who Jehovah's Witnesses really are. This postcard is for you. Please share it with friends who will appreciate seeing Knocking as much as you did.
While the postcard is careful to state:
Watchtower had no editorial content over the final product or how its images were used
It has several comments that reveal how closely the Watchtower Society collaborated with the making of Knocking.
For example, on the front of the postcard is this statement:
Knocking features official, Governing Body-approved interviews of Bethel staff:
Under the heading "Facts About Knocking and the Watchtower Society," the postcard says:
The Watchtower Society accepts phone inquiries about its participation in Knocking. Call 718-560-5000 weekdays from 8am to 5pm EST and ask for the Office of Public Information.
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses approved on-camera interviews with members of Bethel staff. It also granted a licensing agreement to the producers of Knocking to use Watchtower-owned archival photos, artwork and audio/visual recordings.
To ensure accuracy, members of the Watchtower Legal Department and Office of Public Information screened the historical and doctrinal content of Knocking. Copies of the DVD were provided to members of the Governing Body and U.S. Branch Committee.
For those interested, a PDF of the postcard (just under 1 MB) can be downloaded from this filesharing site:
