Cofty you asked me a question earlier but I was driving about what I would do. Well now I would tell my daughter her teacher is right. Before I was exjw I might have struggled to explain it in a nice way (as I was never good at judging people). But I would have had a discrimination mentality no matter how soft I tried yo make it and I would be passing it along to my daughter. If there was a scale for discrimination this might not be between 5-10 but it would be on the scale.

The reasons that you guys protest for the video are the things that I think make it so insidieous and ugly. Trying to paint dissemination as a cute kids story with safe words that isnite hate without saying it.

So condemning a biracial couple and a same sex couple are tantamount or not? What's the difference? Whether is bible or harry potter..

Steve2 cofty and Simon. With a simple yes or no answer if this video with the exact same message and presentation dealt with biracial couples instead of homosexual would it be considered discrimination? Yes or no? If everything you are pontificating on is true you should be able to just say no. Go ahead.

Why do you think the video was made for children? The video is in childish ambiguous paradise-speak for a reason. They couldn't make an adult version of this and get away with it.

Very good point

Cofty and SImon i feel like you are playing along with the witness ignorance of the awful things they promote.

can you imagine a witness saying "we don't shun people, we just don't let them on the plane, they have to leave the airport" whelp guess they don't practice barbaric shunning because they said it like that. lol come on now.

Where does the bible condemn interracial marriage?

What does that have to do with discrimination??? does the source/origin somehow absolve it ???, Israelites were taught to not mix with the nations. there ya go. Who care if its from the bible or any other book of ignorance.

The point is teaching your kids biracial marriage is wrong or gay marriage is wrong is the same damn thing. And its sick for anyone to make a cartoon about it

"But there was nothing in the video itself suggesting that she talk about anything but paradise and animals." - Simon

Yea that is exactly the way active witness talk about homosexuals. they just talk about panda's and polo's tucked into pleated khaki's and a garden. lol

Again witnesses speak very ugly and abusively of homosexuals. The implication and point of the video accomplishes what it is suppose to. Discrimination.

If it was the 60's and someone made a video like this about biracial marriage, what would be the implication Cofty? discrimination or not?

And "not being influenced" and preaching your views on homosexuals and getting into paradise are not the same thing. You are leaving off the preaching bit.

The whole thing is a good example of how JWS try to make the water cloudy on things like abuse, shunning and other sensitive subjects. Just because they make it cloudy won't make me deny what it is.

Maybe cofty and simon can clearly tell me what the video promotes. Because clearly me and a lot of other don't understand it the way they do.

1 - People in same-sex relationships are not getting into paradise. What does that mean?

2 - People can choose to stop having gay sex. When does it say "gay sex"??????

Is the message of the video that 1. Gay people are not going to paradise and 2. that they can be changed? is it or is it not? I don't want some little JW brat telling my daughter that kind of crap in school. School is not a kingdom hall.

Comparing homosexuals to contraband luggage IS discrimination. Just because its a metaphor doesn't make it nice. The whole premise of the video is the other little girls parents are bad. Most people can see that watching this once through.
