Three things disturbed me about the video...

1. The dad's voice and way he talks to this little girl creeps me out. I don't know why, it just sent shivers up my spine in a bad way.

2. So sad that this sweet little girl already knows the word "disfellowship" and that it means she can't talk to her uncle. Brainwashing at it's finest...brings back lots of memories for me!

3. The end was interesting...a little hard to understand her but sounded something like "uncle < something > monkey see, monkey do < something > sister(?) Monkey get in trouble too!" Yes, I can see this one being DFed someday...and then she will know what DFing REALLY means. We'll probably have her on here, all EFFED UP. It's sickening.

Confession

(Next video...)

DAD: Mackenzie, why is Galen bedellowshipt?

MACK: Cuz he diddun lissen to Dahovah...

DAD: That's riiight. He didn't, did he?

MACK: No! An' he gunna get betroyed at Arbitagebbon too.

MOM: (chuckling in background) I love the way she says Armageddon! So cute!

DAD: Welll, he might, that's right, unless he does what?

MACK: Unless he bepents.

DAD: You got that right, baby. And who will he repent to?

MACK: To da elders!

DAD: Right again, precious.

MACK: Cuz da elders are Dahovah...

DAD: Wellll, no, the elders aren't really Jehovah, sweetheart.

MACK: (Covers her mouth and gasps) What?! Yes dey are! Da elders are Dahovah!

DAD: Mackenzie, stop saying that. The elders are NOT Dahovah--I mean, Jehovah. They're being used by Jehovah.

MACK: Da elders ARE Dahovah! Dass hoo Galen has to bepent to...

DAD: Well, yes, that's right. Galen needs to go to the elders and repent, but that's because they're Jehovah's representatives.

MACK: Bepweeventarives?

DAD: There you go, that's right. It's never proper to call any person Jehovah. That would His heart sad.

MACK: Da elders are Dahovah! Dey are too!

MOM: (Shocked) Mackenzie, stop saying it!

DAD: Mackenzie, if you keep saying that, you might have to get disfellowshipped too, just like Galen!

MACK: Waaaaaahhhh! (through sobs) Da elders are too Dahovah!

DAD: All right, hon, please call up Brother Finkbinder.

MOM: Do you think we really have to?!

DAD: We have no choice but to strike now before this apostasy takes hold. Better to cast her out while young than wait until this gels. First Corinthians 5 says to "remove the evil man from among yourselves."

MOM: But she's a baby!

MACK: No, no noooooo! Waahhhhhh!

DAD: After a period of many months of being bedellow--I mean, disfellowshipped--she will be allowed to grovel at Jehovah's--I mean, the elders' feet and demonstrate her repentance for uttering these wicked words!

MACK: Pweeze, pweeze, nooooo! DON' WANNA BE BEDELLOWSHIPT!!!

MOM: (shaken) Your father is right, Mackenzie. You have to be disfellowshipped...

MACK: Arrhhhhhhh, noooo, pweeeeeeze nooooo!

DAD: (He winks at Mom) Unless...

MACK: Unwess wuht?

DAD: Unless you promise Mommy and Daddy that you'll never again say that the elders are Jehovah.

MACK: Yes, yes, I pwomisssse!

DAD: And you always promise never to complain about going to meetings and service.

MACK: Yes, yes, pwomise dat too!

DAD: Well, okay then. I think Jehovah can forgive you now.

MOM: Oh what a relief!

MACK: Tank yoo, Daddy. I luh loo. Yur Dahovah huh?

DAD: What did you say?

MACK: (She winces) Yur Dahovah?

DAD: (Picks up phone and starts dialing a number...)

MACK: Nooooooo! I diddun meen it. You not Dahovah, you not Dahovah!

DAD: (Puts the phone back down) Okay then. (Aside to Mom) Do you realize how easy it's gonna be to raise this child now? What a great idea! Anytime she's disobedient--anything--we can remind her about the disfellowshipping arrangement.

MOM: Is this what the Bible means about "disciplining and mental regulating" your children?

DAD: Bingo! It's ingenious.

Sad. Video saved for reference.

Something went wrong with my last post... oh well, I guess I am typing too fast and not looking at what I am doing.

Anyway. I watched one of the other videos they have posted. It is of their kids playing bible charades on vacation.

This reminds me of a family in my current hall. The parents are real JW nazis. They spend vacations doing unassigned territory, and they have family study on the non-meeting nights.

Pretty sad for the kids.

Sometimes I think when you look at the kids (both are barely pre-teen) it's like they keep ckecking their watches to see if they are 18 yet.

When they are old enough to decide for themselves... POW! they're gone.

This is from me:

I can't believe you think it's cute to teach an innocent child to shun her uncle. She doesn't even comprehend what she is saying. She's just parroting.

Tell me, if when she gets older and does something that is a disfellowshipping offense, will you as her parents shun her as well? Do you realize the devastating effects shunning has on an individual?

I am saddened to see an innocent child being systematically brainwashed. There are some who consider a form of child abuse.

OMG, Confession! Your post would be funny if it wasn't so likely to happen.

Funny, sad, and could even be true.

My parents used this tactic on my brother a few times. I felt soo bad for him. I ended up finding ways to play with him without talking. Like asking my mom in brother's presence if she knew anyone who wanted to go out and play in the leaves with me. "I'll be outside in the driveway if you think of anyone." Little brother followed right behind me and we played.

I think his first disfellowshipping from the family was for 24 hours. Eventually there was a week-long stint. I think he was at most 10 or 11 at the time. And - the worse part - it was for something that he really couldn't control.

Nice parenting, eh?

-Aude.

For all you know they put it up so that girls brother would see it and cave. Pretty nasty, huh?
