A&E on Thursday announced the air date for Leah Remini's two-hour special about Jehovah's Witnesses. The program, which will air Nov. 13 at 9 p.m., will precede the premiere of season three of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

The preview special will include Remini speaking in depth with former Jehovah's Witness members. "I thought Jehovah's Witnesses were just nice people knocking on doors," Remini says in a teaser. "We have received many letters, [saying], 'Please look into the Jehovah's Witnesses.'"

The Jehovah's Witness religion was founded in the late 19th century in Pittsburgh. According to a 2016 census posted on its official website, the religion boasts more than 8 million followers globally. The faith is different from most denominations of Christianity because followers don't believe that Jesus is part of the Holy Trinity; they believe he is solely the Son of God.

Along with adherents' refusal to celebrate birthdays and religious holidays like Easter and Christmas, the religion's reputation has been marred over the last several years by reports of alleged cover-ups of sexual abuse. According to a press release for Remini's special, the religion works to "subvert and exploit belief." However, the official Jehovah's Witness site insists the group is "far from being a dangerous cult."

Weeks after the Jehovah's Witnesses special airs, Scientology and the Aftermath will return Nov. 27 at 9 p.m. on A&E. Season three includes eight new episodes and four specials. Although Remini is delving into the practice of Jehovah's Witnesses, the ex-Scientologist is still "curious" about her former religion.

"Yeah, I’m fucking curious," she says in a second teaser, before bringing up Scientology leader David Miscavige's wife, Shelly Miscavige, who has been missing from the public eye for nearly 10 years. "I'm curious where the leader of Scientology's wife is."

The actress adds: "IÂ’m curious why someone would have to disconnect from their own daughter because your church thinks theyÂ’re enemies. IÂ’m curious why you have your members sign nondisclosure agreements and then claim you have nothing to hide. IÂ’m curious why Scientology continues to have tax-exempt status."

Scientology has vehemently denied claims made by Remini on her show, calling the project "nothing more than a scripted, rehearsed, acted and dramatized work of fiction." The Scientology TV Network was launched this spring.

No one is forcing anyone to stay in the religion, just like no one is forcing anyone to pay ransom in a kidnapping situation.

Did you forgot when the Pharoah asked Moses why he should let the Jews leave? Moses just replied with "JW.org"

She is perceived as a major threat by the Governing Body

For men who claim to be directed by the one true God to lead his one true religion, you would think they would be fearless in professing their organization's practices and policies to the world.

Leah Remini says she wants to do more shows on Jehovah's Witnesses

“We got Tweets, messages on Instagram, Facebook, emails asking us to look into Jehovah’s Witnesses and it was becoming too hard to ignore,” said Remini.

“Right now we’re doing it as a special as part of our Aftermath show, but I’m going to hopefully talk to A&E about doing more.”

      the great tribulation and armageddon

      By Arauna · Posted

      Let the bible speak for itself: Ezekiel 38:   ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: “On that day when my people Israel are dwelling in security, will you not know it?q 15  You will come from your place, from the remotest parts of the north,r you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly, a vast army.s 16  Like clouds covering the land, you will come against my people Israel. In the final part of the days I will bring you against my landt so that the nations may know me when I sanctify myself through you before their eyes, O Gog.”’u...... ‘Every man’s sword will be against his own brother.x 22  I will bring my judgment against him* with pestilencey and bloodshed; and I will rain down a torrential downpour and hailstonesz and firea and sulfurb on him and on his troops and on the many peoples with him.c 23  And I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’ So Jehovah will be magnified as the true god.... when they attack the Israel of god  - read Gal 6:16. Anointed Christians are the new Israel of god. Hebrews 12:22 "But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem."  Jesus is the Anointed one (Messiah) who, during the 1000 years will rule over the earth to restore the original paradise (the original purpose of God).  He will be king and priest. This means that his ransom sacrifice will be applied to all those who are resurrected on earth (earthly part of Jehovah's universal government).  This will include "unrighteous" ones who never knew anything about Christ or Jehovah.   Acts 24:15 " And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrectionk of both the righteous and the unrighteous."l Read Revelation 20:1 -3  This shows that there will be nations on earth that will survive the great tribulation. verse 3: " And he hurled him into the abyssf and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while." After the final test when all humans (as perfect individuals like Adam) will be tested like Adam was, Jesus will hand over the Kingdom back to his father.  1 Cor 15: from 24 "  Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.e 25  For he must rule as king until God has put all enemies under his feet.f 26  And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.g 27  For God “subjected all things under his feet.”h But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’i it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.j 28  But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him,k that God may be all things to everyone." l
