First Mark Honeychurch joins Graeme Hill to expose hoaxes, woo and scams for what they arent. Mark takes a look at Jehovahs Witnesses, following his recent trip to a three day convention held by the religious group. He takes a look at the way the event ran, the speakers and the group as a whole. He looks at their perspective on worldly pursuits and how the organisation uses politics.
