    It's a nice little spiritual charm offensive that says everything and yet says nothing but still leaves a whiff that it's frowning with a caring attitude about something others would think was completely normal - Steve2

    I agree Steve. It does leave a whiff that it's frowning over something completely normal. Creating anxiety where there is nothing to worry about and guilt when you have done nothing wrong is cult mind control.

    It does actually link with the masturbation vid in my mind. My teenager is welded to her phone. So they say lets start telling the kids something that is normal and that they love and cant give up has a negative side to it. I think this is just the beginning of the cell phone campaign.

    These guys know about cult mind control. They know enough now to make it look innocuous, even boring.

    Who are this kid's "friends" who all had cell phones when he didn't have one? It seems to imply that he was running around with a crowd of "worldly" kids.

    It's one more piece of technology that the GB can't control. It was so much easier back in the old days when CB radios were the big threat to spirituality.

    frankiespeakin: the Governing Body are trying to stem the tide by making this video on not text messaging the opposite sex with expression of romantic nature.

    Because, evidently, texting leads to fornication! It's a gateway drug.

    OMG, this is really creepy and weird! I wholeheartedly agree that this is the "new and improved", sanitized Mormon-esqe JW religion. Gone are the days where they appeared to be the Seventh Day Adventist's red-headed step-child. That Apple-wanna-be music is enough toto induce a coma, or possibly a glossed-over brainwashing state of mind?

    Gotta love the odd JW "youth" who grew up sheltered, scared shitless, and worried about every little thing and about "appearances". God forbid someone might text "I miss you" and the recipient has an emotion about it! What autonomous robots they are trained to be. I love the admission by the first African-American "youth" about how he felt left out cause he was the only one of his peers who didn't have a cellphone at 13. Startling admission from a Minister of Truth, that being, that he felt like a totally weird outcast, just as ALL of us did whom were raised in this bat-shit crazy cult!

    "All of my (Worldy) friends (at school, where Elders and parents didn't know about them) had cellphones at 13, and I didn't. {insert nervous smile here} That's ok, I didn't mind......haha......I mean, I felt left out and awkward.....but that's ok.....{insert more nervous laughter here}....cause I just knew I had Jehovah's devine protection, and He kept me from texting that young hottie across from me in at the DC in Yankee stadium with the hooters that drove me crazy all morning. Ha.....Hahahaha....hahaha! We're so blessed to not have technology to tie us down, and you know, the Debil uses these newfangled devices to ensnare us when we are at our weakest. Imagine, being able to text a girl to talk to her, ask her on a date, THEN use the Debil's tool with it's GPS to properly find her address to meet (stalk) her! {insert bug eyes and crazy drooling here}"

    That guy playing frisbee, must not know about all of the incredible gym and sport facilities that they have (and are planning) at Walkhill. If he did, his ass wouldn't be playing with no frisbee, he'd be getting buff and playing squash with some young hottie. As it is, he comes off as a pathetic douche. I love how at the end of the video, the one guy is riding away with a satchel over his arm, just like a MORMON!!!! Only thing he was missing was the black pants and white dress shirt! They are trying so hard to appear "normal" but a video about cell-phone useage is anything but "normal."

    And this good news about not texting will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. - Stephen Lett 24:14
