So Sophia is told NOT to seek the praise of people for being successful at using her "god given brain", but is told to picture the heavenly throngs all praising her??
So, it is encouraging a self-centered view! It distorts JW kids minds to think that the heavenly throngs are focussed on THEM PERSONALLY! How conceited and selfish!

I had the same thoughts Listener!
For a video aimed at children, those parts were confusing.

so as a child and youth growing up as a witness, (i'm 43 now) we often heard the expression "new world order".. the society just doesnt use that expression anymore.
so what was the reasoning behind them amending that expression?.
Great reply Anders.
Yes, I too have heard the expression used by conspiracy nuts nowdays...so I find it funny that JWs used to use the term so often!
this video has to be watched!
ben is truly wonderful guy who i count as a genuine friend!
his insights and experiences are so interesting.. enjoy:.
Thanks TweetieBird! Thats very kind of you to say!
You may be on to something there...maybe we will indeed do something in the future.

on the heels of a $35 million jury award to a woman who alleged the congregation mishandled her childhood abuse, other survivors say there's a pattern of cover-ups.

Appalling!
The more media exposure the cult gets, the better!
Of course, JWs will not read or believe such reports, as they are "satanic lies", but at least more people from the community will be warned against their smooth speech when they come a-knocking!
Yes, as steve2 said "by their fruits you will recognize them!"
use sources properly.
apply scriptures in harmony with their context, the bible’s overall message, and the publications of “the faithful and discreet slave.” (matt.
in other words, if you happen to discover how our doctrines are contradicted by the bible, don't use those verses.. use secular sources in accord with the original context and the intent of the writer.. .
Very good pickup!
Hypocrisy at its finest!
this podcast / video is well worth watching!
it compares the three "cults" of mormonism, scientology, and jws.. (there is some value in watching a video of it, as there is a powerful visual aid.
but, the audio is still very good).
