Terrence Howard and Jehovah’s Witnesses

As host of the PBS documentary series Independent Lens, actor Terrence Howard introduces viewers to the film Knocking. It’s a look inside the Jehovah’s Witness religion. He talks candidly to NPR about the film and his personal connection to the faith.

Howard on being exposed to the Jehovah’s Witness religion as a child:

“I came across [Jehovah's Witnesses] and, like most people, I was told that when we heard the Witnesses or saw them walking up the street, you would immediately shut the curtains and act like nobody was home, and I always wondered about that.”

Howard later embarked on his own exploration of the faith. As a young adult, he began to embrace the principles of the religion.

The State Of . . . The Jehovah’s Witnesses religion. How many of us were told to hide when they came a knockin’. I (rich) know I did. But I’m older and wiser now and know that they are merely just annoying. How much do you know about the religion. Check the PBS website for common misconception.
