  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.

  The moment she opens her mouth to preach to her school mate, the discrimination of the parent is passed on.

  1. Jehovah set the rules and not he doesn't like homos
  2. That's why we preach our message because people can change
  3. What's Sophia gonna do, preach the message, oh hallelujah!!

  Not that complicated, its is after all a cartoon...

  She is going back to what I assume is a public school, a place i would like to be a "religious agenda free zone". ..

  Not for JWS though.

  dis·crim·i·na·tiondəˌskriməˈnāSH(ə)n/noun1.the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

  When the cartoon begins Sophia puts out what her teacher has explained to her about the same sex couple (not discrimination) upon hearing this Mom makes the case to change that perception.

  “Carrie drew two mommies,” “She told me they’re married to each other. My teacher says that all that matters is that people love each other and that they’re happy"

  “Hmm. Well, people have their own ideas about what is right and wrong,”. “But what matters is how Jehovah feels. (Your teacher is wrong).

  Then comparing gay people to contraband luggage is pretty low. If you don't think that's too much, that's fine Simon, you are free to feel that way. Yes the video uses metaphors over overt language but the message is clear. metaphor or not.
