another disgusting attempt of the wts controling attempt to know it all.
you can totally see the wts did not consult a therapist, getting professional help/advice on how to handle the situation or message they were trying to convey to the child.
the facial expression of the mother ( is disturbing even to me) while evoking guilt to the child.
Just think... they could have made it worse. Would be interesting to see a children's video on Armageddon. Or perhaps after Caleb's mom notices the wizard toy Jehovah breaks down the door and rips off Caleb's head... I think that would be a more effective way of getting the message through.
Of course in the sequel, the wizard resurrects Caleb. They become best friends and together they fight the evil...
i walk past the earlsfield / wandsworth kingdom hall in london quite often on sundays.
there are always cars outside and i never see anyone go in or out... and so i wonder... how long are they in there for, and what takes them so long?.

as many of you probably already know, the wts have a relatively new feature series called "my bible lessons".
this series, which apparently began running earlier this year with the february public edition, is specifically designed for children "ages 3 and under".. caleb, of sparlock fame, makes his wt debut in the "lesson" of the august 1st, 2012 edition of the watchtower, pages 24-25. .
in it, caleb writes a letter to a friend that is sick.
We should make a sequel, "If Jehovah won't be my friend, at least Sparlock will"
do you think there is any chance we could get a chinese (or other asian) company to make a cheap knock off of sparlock the warrior wizard?
they probably either know how to avoid copyright problems or don't care much about irritating an american cult..
You might have to send them a prototype... unless they do that for you. Otherwise there's LEGO!

google chinese plastic toy manufacturer
there's lots of results.

i turned my back on this site for one day and when i come back everyone is saying sparlock this and sparlock that.
what is a sparlock?
i can tell it's a wizard character but is it a toy or a cartoon that the wt is bashing?

Nice idea for a facebook profile pic.
the watchtower has depicted sparlock as a commercial plastic toy to be thrown into the garbage with impunity.. i submit to you all that he is something far greater.
sparlock represents all the hopes and dreams of jw children everywhere.
he is the magic of childhood.
this is probably going to be a long post, since i am going to be added some parts of our conversations on facebook.
my mother has been involved sort of with the jw's, since she was younger.
so she's always kind of believed in their stuff.
Thanks Hubert :)
Schnare, I found an interesting post on this site, which hopefully will inspire you.
It's posted by HB at http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/206833/3/Hello-to-everyone-and-could-I-ask-a-really-basic-question-here-please
"... I now know that to start with, (being very ignorant about JW beliefs at the time), to my great regret, I was reasoning with my friend in completely the wrong way, attacking her belief in Jehovah directly rather than getting her to question for herself the basis of JW teachings but I didn't realise this until later.
Once I joined this forum and started learning what the Watchtower Org is about, several people gave me good advice but particularly a poster called 'Mr Majestic' who emailed me regularly and taught me how to behave and react and drip-feed information to my friend without setting off her 'apostate' alarm bells.
It took some time and ingenuity, but I eventually managed to get Mr Majestic and my friend together (long story). He used the bible and the WT Societies' own literature to open her eyes and thereby restored her sanity and returned her to her grateful family. As a JW she was constantly fearful and depressed but now she has a life and a future. (She will be in London auditioning for the X factor on Monday!) Another success story thanks to this website. She posted on here as 'Blooming Marvellous' a few times.
She and Mr Maj are now best of friends which is great, especially in view of the fact that when they first met, she acted as if he was the devil incarnate..."
i was never a jw.
i was a member of the church of christ.
i didn't jump from christian to non-believer, but rather went through a transition period, and i'd guess that all of you did the same,... changing beliefs bit by bit until you believe what you do now.. when i first realized that there were logic problems in the bible i started to find excuses for those problems.
Joey Jo-Jo, interesting point. My mom still believes the bible is entirely true... when I ask her which translation, or which manuscript is true (the manuscripts do differ) she still sticks to her belief. Of course, besides not knowing much about the copiers, translators and the people who chose which books to put in the bible, we don't even know the people who originally wrote them. But somehow it's entirely true, and you better believe it or we'll burn you at the stake, heretics... :)
