Allright my first post messed up and I lost it some kind of way. Haven't posted on here in along time, obviously don't know how to anymore.
Trying again.
So I was raised a JW, DA for over a decade, of course estranged from parents and JW family, have a teenage son from a previous relationship.
Anyways, I wanted to see what someone who had no first hand knowledge of the JWs would think. So I showed my non-JW girlfriend the Obey Jehovah (Go Sparlock!) video.
She watched it,, then I asked what she thought about it. She said she did not think the JWs made this video. I asked her to elaborate, and she said that it was obviously made by someone trying to make the JWs look bad, because getting all worked up over a plastic toy is ridiculous, and the video must have been made to make the religion look ridiculous.
I tried for like 5 minutes to convince her that the video was real. And she continued to refuse to believe that I knew what I was talking about. For proof I showed her the member of the Governing Body's introduction to the cartoon series. She watched that and when it went off - She just stared at the screen for a moment after it was over and then said in a deadpan voice:
"Our children will never be left alone with your parents."
I had to try so hard not to burst out laughing, because I knew she was very very serious.
Just thought I would share!
