The film (Apostasy (2018), attempts to show how a family of Jehovah's Witnesses are affected when confronted with a family member who chooses to flaunt the groups Bible based standards, leading to being disfellowshipped. Also, the issue of blood transfusion is a major theme. My problem with the film is that no effort is made to explain the scriptural basis for their beliefs that have so profound an effect on the decisions governing their lives, but rather a covert appeal is made to the sentiments and sensibilities of those who identify with the characters at an emotional level. The film therefore constitutes a distortion of the truth. This is a misrepresentation of Jehovah's Witnesses and only disfigures the public's perception of them and their bible based beliefs.
