Cofty just because little Sophia is smiling and talking about paradise doesn't make it not homophobia.
Mom is talking about how to engage her school mate and how they can change in order not be killed by god. Its not that complicated.

I'm not downplaying the message. I think its sick. But in true jwn fashion this discussion has turned into a pseudo armchair intellectual argument for the sake of arguing how its not hate. And in true jwn fashion nothing will be accomplished. Meanwhile it is turning heads on the internet but in this forum its downplayed as just watchtower being watchtower.
I'm merely trying to get to the heart of why this is not just doctrine but encouraging homophobia in kids. It shouldn't be downplayed like it is.

The message is not as shocking/suprising as the medium. Simple as that. A kids cartoon promoting your fundie ideals. We all know the score on religion and homosexuality. Playing it out in a cartoon they deserve severe scrutiny
Illustrating the taking of a child's natural tendency to accept someone and teaching them how to discriminate instead. They have played out the awfulness of religion in detail.

If someone went to my daughter and told her that her parents weren't acceptable because they were *insert whatever category you like* I am going to be kicking someones ass for making her even have to think about that. It could be any form of bigotry.

I just put myself in the place of the unbelieving child and her parents, here this little girl had the courage to draw a picture with a heart on it about her loving parents who happen to be two women. She was courageous and proud. Its a beautiful thing. Now shes gonna get shit on by little Sophia and made to feel ashamed about what she was once proud of. That pisses me off.
I'll be the last person to get offended by things, but the implication of dragging kids into this really makes me sick. i think it transcends the adult side of the issue we see day to day in the news. Maybe this kid was even picked on by other kids for having two moms, and in walks Sophia to add to it.
JWS don't hide the fact they disapprove of homosexuality. Its another thing making a kids cartoon about shaming another child and it makes me furious as a parent.

I think the disgust is not as much about their outdated disapproval of homosexuality. But this delivery was especially vile.
This seems to take it 1 step further, teaching a young child to SHAME her classmate and their parents. I think you are downplaying the ugliness of this too much Cofty.
I have many times heard (first hand) witnesses say the most disrespectful and hateful things about homosexuals in everyday conversation. It is definitely not viewed the same as unmarried heterosexuals. This CARTOON dragging in not just the JW child, but the non-jw child and her loving family. I find that f-cking unacceptable.

Why did Jehovah want to kill Moses?
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
on the way, at a place where they spent the night, the lord met him and tried to kill him.

but zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin, and touched moses' feet with it, and said, "truly you are a bridegroom of blood to me!

it was then she said, "a bridegroom of blood by circumcision.

The beat part is how moses wrote about his death (after he died) and said how he (himself) was the meekest man ever. Lol silly bible, go home you're drunk.
