The Mom in the cartoon does instruct Caleb to tell "even if it's an adult you know and trust". However, she does not make the logical connection that "brothers and sisters" in the hall are the only adults that kids should trust!

WT Society Makes Light of Child Abuse Crimes by Portraying them as Cartoons
by flipper ini commented on this on another thread- but i believe this has enough importance to create a thread about this situation in and of itself.
at the current district convention as you know the wt society released a " sophie & caleb " video allegedly warning parents about the dangers of child abuse.
they don't really use the words " child abuse " in the video - but just say if " someone tries to touch you in a manner you aren't comfortable with " and portray it as a cartoon !

Anthony Morris III: "...we cannot control everything that an individual might say..."
by cappytan ini noticed that anthony morris iii just said on the broadcast: "while we cannot control everything that an individual might say, it is clear that over the decades protecting children from abuse is a top priority for this organization.".
that, in my opinion, is a direct response to the richard ashe "spiritual protection not physical protection" deposition.. here's a video putting the two statements side by side.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgevpuyn7gy.

I thought that the titles in that Awake were made up, but Tony read them on the broadcast. "Baby Pros and Kiddie Porn", really? That sounds obscene and sick. -

Flipper, use real humans as real actors portraying real situations? Are you serious? I can just see it:
Casting call- need middle aged brother who can act like a pedophile. Where would they find someone like that in all of Bethel?
I applaud the idea of the internal PSA, but question the use of a cartoon and the actual motive behind it all (WT Legal Dept.).

According to William Malenfant the serpent in the garden was a "she".
by Hold Me-Thrill Me inon jw broadcasting malenfant's latest video, "do not be misled by the wicked" states (@ 4:30) "did it (the serpent) take a bite of the forbidden fruit and because of that was she allowed to gain this ability to speak?".
where does malenfant get the idea that the serpent in the garden was female?.
interesting, because malenfant, like the governing body, adds to scripture what is not there.

Malenfant must have just misspoken and said "she" instead of "he". He's too much the loyalist to stray from "what is written" ( in the WT, of course). -

Getting it out of my system, a VERY long introduction/outpouring..
by adimmedlight inwarning, novel ahead:.
after a few months of lurking on this site, i've decided to take the plunge...i don't really care so much about introducing myself, but somehow there is some relief in the thought of getting my little story out there, just getting it out of my system.
i am the oldest of 5 kids.

StarTrekAngel,
I am very familiar with the La Feria AH and can attest to your comments regarding the local brothers. The fact that the WT did not utilize the La Feria AH for the RCs last year is due to them scheduling bigger groups in major metro areas like Houston. It's too bad that these brothers have to travel 5 1/2 hours to attend.

If you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of Watchtower and JWs in general ...
by Island Man inif you had any doubts about the pitifully poor mental prowess of watchtower and jws in general then i'm sure this week's watchtower study (week of june 15-21, 2015) completely obliterated such doubts.
the study article (watchtower april 15, 2015, page 19: how real is your relationship with jehovah?
) was filled with blatantly fallacious reasoning that were outdone only by the more fallacious reasoning on the part of commenting jws.. the article, in paragraph 2, says this about a relationship with jehovah:.

Could it have anything to do with labor laws and/or social security reations (or lack thereof)?
