EN TOUTE VÉRITÉ (TRUTH BE TOLD)

Réalisé en 2015 pour le public francophone, EN TOUTE VÉRITÉ (TRUTH BE TOLD) est un film documentaire long métrage portant sur l’enfance au sein du mouvement religieux des Témoins de Jéhovah. Le titre du documentaire fait référence à la croyance des Témoins de Jéhovah d’appartenir à la seule vraie religion, qu’ils nomment eux-mêmes « la Vérité ».
Dans le film, d’anciens Témoins de Jéhovah discutent honnêtement et avec clarté des impacts causés par la religion aux niveaux émotionnel, spirituel et psychologique. Ils racontent des expériences incluant prosélytisme de porte-à-porte, exclusion d’amis et de membres de la famille, perte de sens critique, impossibilité de poursuivre des études supérieures, et interdiction de participer à des fêtes et coutumes sociétales. Au final, le film appuie les conclusions d’un sondage du Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life selon lequel les Témoins de Jéhovah montrent le plus faible taux de maintien des membres parmi toutes les religions investiguées, avec seulement 37% des personnes élevées au sein du mouvement y restant affiliées.
Pour le réalisateur, le message de pardon véhiculé par le film le rend apte à résonner pour tous les publics – anciens membres du mouvement y inclus. ‘Le pardon rend libre…’, dit-il dans une récente interview, ’...et il commence par l'abandon du désir de se faire justice soi-même. Pour les anciens Témoins de Jéhovah, ceci signifie se libérer de leurs émotions négatives en lien avec leurs expériences au sein du mouvement.’
L’édition digitale de EN TOUTE VÉRITÉ sera disponible en décembre 2015 et comportera des contenus exclusifs pour le public francophone.

TRUTH BE TOLD is a new feature-length documentary film about growing up in the Jehovah's Witnesses religion. The title refers to the Jehovah's Witnesses’ perception that their beliefs are 'the truth'. In this film, former Jehovah's Witnesses candidly discuss the spiritual, emotional and psychological harm inflicted by the religion. They reveal experiences including the effects of proselytizing door-to-door, shunning non-observant family and friends, suspension of critical thinking, suffering the discouragement of pursuing dreams like gaining a higher education, and missing other societal holidays and customs. The abuses explored in TRUTH BE TOLD are part of a wider examination into the culture of undue influence within the Jehovah’s Witnesses religion that continues to violate the basic human rights of members and their families worldwide.
 

“WHAT DRIVES JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES? THIS CANDID DOCUMENTARY SHOWS ENOUGH OF THE INNER WORKINGS TO SERVE AS A WARNING. ”
— Prof. Daniel Dennett - Tufts University

Greetings.
Special thanks to Dr. KIP WILLIAMS for his endorsement of Truth Be Told.
Kipling D. Williams, Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, received his Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the same institution. He is most noted for his research on ostracism and has developed unique methods to study the processes and consequences.
Williams believes that “social influence is of great importance to his self-definition and to his interest in social psychology.” Simply put, he believes that “the heart of social psychology is social influence.”
FUN FACT: Dr. Williams and an assistant drove 3 hours from Purdue University to attend a screening of Truth Be Told in Dayton, OH. He declined our offer to provide an advance online screener of the film because he wanted to watch the film for the first time with a public audience. Dr. Williams also spoke with the audience after the film to share some thoughts and research on the deleterious effects of ostracism.

Greetings.
The following first appeared on Facebook 1/31/15:
“Wow, just finished watching ‘Truth Be Told,’ and I must say that this is one of the most well-done documentaries I’ve ever seen. Those that know me know that I am a writer and artist so I always approach films as art. So, that said, I was totally on-board with the cinematography, the use of colors, and sounds in the background. For instance, I loved the red necktie on the gentleman standing at his father’s grave- a black & white scene. I loved the subliminal graphic flashes in the background, and even the shadow of the Watchtower looming over various scenes. The cuckoo clock sounding in the background was perfectly well-timed, and even the doorbell was just right (it made my doggy bark!).
Aside from the artsiness, I enjoyed the factoids that were displayed on the screen. I likened them to the Three Bears story – not too much, not too little, but just right. They were enough to assist the viewer with a little background information and did not overwhelm. One fact, the one that says 63% of “witness” children leave the org was a little surprising. It is also very telling. See? It was just enough fact, enough to cause one to ponder a moment on what was being conveyed.
The people who told the story of what life is like as a Jehovah’s Witness were brilliant. They didn’t convey any outward animosity, but one can see the frustrations they experienced. I was pleased to see that they are all happy people now. I do want to add that I truly loved the brilliant use of black & white versus color in this piece. It was almost analogous; being a witness is very black & white, but once one moves through the steps of their departure, life turns very colorful.
All of this was skillfully woven into a factual look at what it is like for people of all age categories within their organization. Those that have no experience with them will come away with a good understanding of why Jehovah’s Witnesses do and say what they do. It is also a good reminder for those that have left, with flourish or for those that have chosen to simply fade away (usually with good reason as I have), of what they left behind, and allows one to solidify that decision with real truth and logic.”

Jehovah's Witnesses under fire from former congregants who say child sex abuse was hushed

Velicia Alston says she kept quiet for years until she learned she could do something about the abuse by filing a $10.5 million civil suit that she hopes changes the way the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ leadership protects children and responds to reports of abuse.

“This is a powerful documentary about a particular form of fundamentalist religion, Jehovah’s Witnesses, that involves millions of adherents around the world. Although the Jehovah’s Witness faith is socially accepted in most western countries as part of the mainstream religious spectrum, this film clearly demonstrates its reliance on techniques that are characteristic of what we generally label as cults: thought control aimed at the suppression of creativity, independent thought and critical reflection; demands for strict behavioral obedience; dogmatic dependence on scripture as the only reliable source of truth; and deliberate isolation of adherents from others who do not share the faith.
"Remarkably, despite the way in which they were raised, the speakers present as thoughtful and reasonable individuals who are able to dispassionately describe their involvement as Jehovah’s Witnesses. They appear to have transcended the cognitive and emotional and behavioral limits that had been imposed on them by their church, and have taken advantage of their new freedom to think and act in positive and independent ways.
"I highly recommend this film as an important window into the world of dogmatic fundamentalism.”
JAMES E. ALCOCK has been a Professor of Psychology at York University (Canada) since 1973. He is a noted critic of parapsychology and is a Fellow and Member of the Executive Council for the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.

He is regarded as one of the most outstanding skeptics of the 20th Century.
