JWTV May Broadcast is up. hosted by an old burnt hot dog

by Dreamerdude in

what's up with jw parents taking their minor children to such desolate places?

like the english family that took their little kids to the jungles of ecuador, and the australians that took their little ones to norfolk island where hardly anyone lives, and they are the only children in a congregation of 11 publishers?

is this a new form of child abuse?

My experience with family member that is career need greater is its more of a lifestyle than a mission. Doing all the pioneering crap just keeps them in the lifestyle.

Suffering and existence of God

by elbib in

many people find it difficult to reconcile suffering and existence of god.

it seems they feel that it is god’s obligation to shield humans from ill-effects of their short-sighted acts..

people’s hobby has something to do with this kind of reasoning!

The universe is indifferent, there is no "God", that's not so difficult to reconcile

disgusting!.

That is the real problem with this video - it is indoctrinating pre-cognitive children into a belief system that leads to depression and often, suicide.

Talesin

Totally agree

Yes JWS have always been anti homosexuality, yes they indoctrinate their kids, but this is a highly visible ugly demonstration they have signed their name to. The thing that really made my blood boil when i first watched this wasn't shock that JWS are anti-gay, it was the audacity of publishing a children's cartoon about such a thing. It sickened me to see any group (JW or not) showing how to teach your child to take discrimination to school!

As one new article summarized it:

Cute, computer-animated, religious kids shows are nothing new, but One Man, One Woman is something different. In 2006, VeggieTales was largely stripped of its Christian messaging when it was broadcast on network TV. One Man, One Woman, on the other hand, has problematic overtones that come with instructions teaching kids how to proselytize on the playground.

New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

by Doubtfully Yours in

with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

damn it!!!

am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

freemindfade

I am with you.

When I do escort the wife on some Sundays I was holding a paper wt.

However! Last time I went it was awful I handed her the watchtower and sat there not looking at anything. So I'm one step beyond now. Lol

Well I was pissed before it hit the internet. I only feel my initial feelings are validated by the shear amount of people finding this not just stupid, but disturbing because of being designed specifically for children.

I apologize to you cofty

It wasn't directed to you more of a general attitude I found disturbing.

The internet news is outraged we should be too.

I think writing "homosexuality is bad" in a watchtower, and making a cartoon demonstrating how to plant seeds of discrimination in kids is a different animal all together.

The apologist part is saying they are promoting hate, I say they are its just sugar coated.

Don't get too upset Cofty, you know I got love for you . Watchtower should take maximum heat for this one as something above and beyond.

Cofty

Yep. I said that.

There have been plenty of sentiments on this thread that suggest this video is no big deal and the disturbance by it is exaggerated. I disagree wholeheartedly and apparently so does the rest of the internet that is outraged.

Personally I think anyone on here that thinks being outraged at this video is exaggerated should be ashamed. Sorry if that hurts feelings.
