It's difficult to recover from being in an organisation that insists it isn't a cult yet bears many cult characteristics. It's difficult to share or explain to members of other religious groups, or health or other professionals. It can be difficult to sort out in your own head.
A documentary Truth be Told went on digital release on 19 Dec. Directed by New York filmmaker and ex Witness Gregorio Smith, it's an exceptionally balanced and informative doco for anyone who is curious about what life in the JWs is really like. Based on in depth interviews with six ex Witnesses, plus staged insights into Kingdom Hall doctrine, the doco is currently being translated into a score of languages for international distribution as an important cultural document and fascinating viewing for anyone curious to understand more about the JW sect/cult/religion.
