Don't be fooled into thinking this is not what happens to witness families. Shunning is sadly a very real experience for thousands of people and there are many who cannot cope with it and take their lives. This film does a good job of showing the impact of childhood indoctrination. They absolutely believe that 99.9% of the earth's population will be slaughtered at Armageddon and forego higher education for low paying jobs in order to spend time preaching door to door because they believe the end is near. The 'end' has been foretold numerous times since the late 1800s, but unfortunately most witnesses do not have access to their own history and are warned off researching external sources. I am glad to say though, that the defection rate of young people brought up in the cult is high and the internet has been a great help in their escape. It is just a shame the price they have to pay is so high.
