Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed

This documentary did a good job on the exploration of cases of sexual misconduct, sexual abuse and the subsequent appalling behaviour by the church. However there were hours of minor complaints and whining for reasons often never properly explained. I would have liked to see in-depth reporting on the mechanics of how the whole thing operates, the churches prosperity preaching techniques and how they extract $$$ from their parishioners among other things.

Being a person that grew up on churches myself I found this series to be really accurate and helpful for those who are blind enough not to understand the problem with mega churches like Hillsong.

It explained almost every single problem with this company. And that right there gained my respect.

I didn't feel like this documentary was very well put together. The people they interviewed was more about quantity and not quality.

When there was an interesting storyline, it quickly moved on to the next topic.

This documentary was about the mega church Hillsong. The entire documentary seem to focus around the fact that the church exploits its members for money and personal gain while the heads of the church behave in a completely unchristian manner. This is not new information! I assumed everyone on earth knew that these type of organizations were all about the money... I don't mean to sound anti-religious, but I am strongly opposed to these massive, cult-like organizations.

I found most of the testimonials in this documentary to be a bit whiny. Perhaps I was being too judgmental of them for being so naive , especially after having so many examples of where these large religious organizations abuse their authority over the parishioners. All things being equal, this want a bad series but don't expect any sort of conclusion. It's essentially 3 hours of ppl talking about being duped by con men in the name of god...

Certainly not a fan of Hillsong and the cowo style of worship. Church isn't where we go to be entertained, it is where we go to worship God. But I have to say this show comes across as extremely contrived. Just one example- Why stage the other woman in a church with all the smoke, lighting and dramatic music? Find it highly ironic that this doc is just as emotionally manipulative as Hillsong appears to be.
