I agree.  Doing such a thing distracts from the central point of what is happening.  IMO The devotion clip in particular demonstrates in my mind very amply the nature of the deep personality cult that has developed around Prem Rawat. Freeze frames of a particular person does not, in my opinion, add to that key observation.  It is up to each and every viewer to decide if Joan Apter (as she was used as an example above) was plain outright lying in that clip, being truthful or simply deluded. Whilst doing those clips I had plenty of opportunities of grabbing particular frames that placed people in a particularly bad light, or indeed good light. But each to their own I guess.  Gallery
