No one is excited because its anything new. Its interesting because it is giving the cult more bad exposure. I think a lot of you are still watchtower apologists. You say this is no big deal. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people are viewing the videos and many are outrage . Joe rogan tweeted about it. None of us are surprised jws don't believe gay people will get into paradise! But this is like a bad jw broadcast, a stupid quote from the GB, an abuse headline, yes we know it happens but its putting a light on the watchtower and pissing people off.
And its not overt hate speech but it is a lesson on how to indoctrinate discrimination and if you don't believe that its your choice but I think its not JUST manipulation.

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.

So cofty question because I want to understand would you consider this video encouraging homophobia to kids or not?

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.
