Whatever guys and gals. Its not new light, it's bad press. I don't know where some of you think bigotry comes from but this is all i have to say. I won't excuse watchtower as easily. Sorry

Yes they've always taught it but putting a cartoon on jworg is new! This is making it more visible to the world how they brainwash their kids.
Tm3 was always am asshole but most didn't know it until the now famous tight pants talk. Its about their ugly side coming out from behind the love bombing and good press . more visible

Cofty
In this instance I would define it this way.
Little girl notices something different. She has no thought on it but curiosity.
Mom noticing the little girl hasn't formed a disgust for this practice is afraid now not that her child will just accept it but could now practice it.
She has teach her child this behavior is something to be feared. How? This will get you banned from paradise like someone with a bomb will get banned from the airport. Fear
Now the little girl will carry this fear with her and her own sexual development. But wait there is more! She is gonna let this other girl in on the fear using the punishment reward scenario.
Jw homophobia boils down to if we don't hate what Jehovah hates then we accept it. The child was a blank slate for discrimination in this case and mom demonstrated how to draw fear on that slate and bigotry.
That is how I define it here.

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.

One more time. The message is not as shocking/suprising as the medium
This has gone off course the title of the op is not anti gay video its anti gay video for kids. FOR KIDS

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.
