In this bizarre and thought-provoking teaser for the Witness Underground Movie, Chad Rhiger of Ghost Army dives into the lesser-known and unsettling aspects of the Jehovah’s Witness faith. He discusses how the belief system is deeply intertwined with a faith based on demons and how followers are taught to fear demonic influence in nearly every aspect of life.
Chad explores the idea that Jehovah's Witness music invites demons, a claim that fuels paranoia within the community. The strict rules governing music and art stem from the belief that Jehovah's Witnesses invite demons when engaging with anything outside their faith-approved boundaries. This unique insight reveals how the Jehovah’s Witness faith enforces a fear of spiritual corruption, often leaving members scared to express themselves creatively.
Through his perspective, Chad shares a chilling Jehovah's Witness demon story that sheds light on how a Jehovah’s Witness demonic faith perpetuates control over its members. For those questioning whether Jehovah's Witness music invites demons or exploring the role of fear in their teachings, this teaser offers a fascinating glimpse into a religion where followers are led to believe that Jehovah’s Witnesses invite demons through everyday activities.

This heartwarming video captures the emotional journey of former Jehovahs Witnesses celebrating a babys first birthday. The new mom, a first-time parent who left the faith a decade ago, hosts a joyous gathering for her child, surrounded by family members who have also broken free from the religions strict rules.
The celebration highlights the stark contrast between their current lives and their upbringing, where birthdays were forbidden and considered pagan. As the baby experiences important milestones, the camera captures the genuine excitement and love shared by the extended family.
An aunt, now a seasoned mother, reflects on her childhood within the Jehovahs Witness community. She discusses the restrictions she faced and how she now strives to nurture her childrens curiosity and ambitions. Her story provides a meaningful comparison to the life she left behind.
The video also touches on the bittersweet reality of fractured family relationships. While the gathering is filled with love and laughter, theres a noticeable absence of relatives still active in the Jehovahs Witness faith. The family discusses the pain of being shunned by their Witness relatives, who refuse to participate due to fear of punishment from their religious community.
This intimate portrayal showcases the real social impact of the Jehovahs Witnesses ban on birthdays. It celebrates the freedom found in leaving the religion while acknowledging the ongoing struggles faced by those who break away. The video serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of these families and their determination to create new, joyful traditions despite the cost
In the month that I shot WITNESS UNDERGROUND, I also shot this with some of my oldest friends as part of the Seed&Spark commitment I made to the the crowdfund backers then to expand XJW Coming Out series after shooing the feature documentary.
This birthday was just happening while I was visiting Madison and these friends so we made a special short video idea come together about a first birthday for a new mom and the implications of that on the kids and to discuss how the active members of the family treat them for doing this with a ten year recap on what life has been like after getting out of the culty faith.
I was out of the religion at 19 but meeting these folks drew me back in. In part to honor that connection but also because we have an enduring friendship, I included the new mom, Jennifer Trucks, in the film WITNESS UNDERGROUND. She originally connected me to Nuclear Gopher folks, showing me the website. The uncle in the background, Mitchel Vandeheuvel, took me to Minneapolis to see a Nuclear Gopher show and meet some of the people in the film in 2001/2. He became a massive part of the film festival run in 2021, even hosting a major screening at the Wisconsin Film Festival when it was nearly impossible to do so during government lockdown safely. It was a massive success!
He then helped to represent Debutante the shunning short filim by Kamila Dydyna, with me at Chicago Irish Film Festival. Im happy to say we are all still friends and all out of the religion.
A lot of the Nuclear Gopher people came through Madison Wisconsin, a 5 hour drive from Minneapolis, in a music migration to Chicago, where the Amazing Fruit Jehovahs Witnesses were making music and on one fateful weekend during Weezers Green album tour after a seven year hiatus, we all collided in Madison at the house that these two sisters and Mitchel were living in for late parties and the love of music.
