Cool, will watch that, channel 4 had a documentary on the moonies a few years ago which was interesting, even though at the time I was all 'glad we're not like those guys' Oops.

It might be a good programme to watch with a JW relative. It would be interesting to see if they notice any comaprisons.

Programme opens with a scene in a temple at Salt Lake City where thousandsd of mormons are saluting the great leader Thomas S Monson like something out of North Korea.

The programme makers can't talk to the young man without a creepy elder present

The church have given Channel 4 permission to film 20 year old born-in Josh who is about to begin a 2 year mission in Leeds.

An official from the church's PR department is going to follow them the whole time - more echoes of North Korea.

He has already interupted once to object to a question about celibacy laws.

Cantleave - the guy hovering around with the red notebook is a PR disaster.
