They didn't address any of Satan's arguments. They just made him scary.
Right? He made good points.
Jesus Christ sent all of you to preach about the Jw's or satan the devil sent all of you to preach about the Jw's?????????
Based Satan
More like incredibly badass.
*They just made him look and viewed as scary
this is why aliens won't talk to us
What?
🤣🤣🤣good one!
lols
Agreed! 😂
It's kind of funny how in the first cartoon, Satan/Lucifer/the Devil had a point. I mean, there is so much misery in the world with the God of the Bible in charge.
Also, as far as the Gospel Gary one... I went to public school when I was a child and I don't remember anyone being invited to talk about God. If anything it would cause a scandal. I have no problem with people praying in public schools if they want to or bringing in their own religious literature for themselves, but I don't want someone to be invited to proselytize my kids... and I don't even have kids.
Satan actually is making some very logical points. I think he’s the winner.
OMG I was raised an atheist until my mom became a JW when I was 9. I was perfectly happy without this kind of mental control. I am now a happy agnostic/atheist after leaving JWs. These are awful.
im pretty sure superbook is just regular christian cartoon
John 14:6
Jesus answered : “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Holy crap. That’s scary. This is abuse.
There are scary things in life, don't ignore that. People are evil in their hearts. Don't ignore that. How do we understand evil? How do we go about it?
@@LizzStewart hearts are part of the circulatory system. I would suggest understanding people’s brains and studying evolutionary psychology.

The problem is that these cartoons are not just teaching kids about evil, but fear-mongering to them. Sure, they’ll learn about evil eventually, but that doesn’t mean it has to be through, for example, seeing a depiction of someone nailing Jesus to a cross. One cartoon, I don’t remember which, was also incredibly dishonest in addition to the fear-mongering when they had a terrifying-looking Satan making arguments against Christianity. The goal there was to equate questioning Christianity with the devil and scare kids away from even entertaining those ideas when they encounter those or similar arguments in real life.
@@LizzStewarteveryone is evil and everyone is good, see evil and good are subjective, but even though its subjective it doesn't give anyone the right to harm others which is more blatantly evil in my book, but yeah even the god of the bible is evil, only problem is he is evil because well he is selfish, he allows harm to come to others and when we try to stand on our own that is a sin, he wants us to be reliant on him and not allow us to grow on our own
Back in the day ( 70’s) My kids had the Paradise book. To this day they have horrible scary memories of it!! Watchtower has always used fear instead of love!! Sheesh
I fell off my chair laughing when Jeebus flew down on his white charger to save the day. Jeebus is like Mighty Mouse.
Satan is absolutely right tho 😂
Anyone else old enough to remember when Superbook was an anime back in the late 80's?
Yes. I still have the Jonna and Saul episodes
did you watch the noah and jesus ones?
Back in the early 70s in rural Oklahoma we had prayer 3 times a day. We had preachers show up to talk to classes more than once and once to the whole school. They didn't talk like this though. They were more shining glorious jesus loves kind of Christians.
Very intimidating learning this. Thank you for the informative video my friend.
I also found a anime from certain Christian group a single woman asking God, why am I single😅
I didn't hear Satan lying to the kid, just encouraging some critical thinking.
He sounds like a Debbie Downer and I can see why the other angels don't want to hang out with him, but he does make some good points.
Critical thinking also says that humans have no real value or rights. I mean, all value and rights we "give" are made up just as gods.
Fear mongering.. Religions most powerful weapon !
If you want to know what terrifying is like, imagine having your "toy" at the meetings, the big bad orange Paradise book, to look at before you can read & old enough to follow along during the meetings!! Those pictures? I still have visions of them
I can relate. The Paradise book was a nightmare maker for me. The picture of the little girl clutching her dolly while falling into an abyss along with a cute, helpless puppy is forever ingrained in my mind.
OMG same. Another is the drama about the people in Russia who got sent to camps for being Witnesses
Yes I was raised on that book myself but I’m happy about it. The fact of life is God exists as we all are proof of. He created all the Universe but so many individual creatures have left his guidance to fully engage selfish and some evil thoughts and actions. There are unspeakable horrors occurring all over the universe. God will act to stop these and has countered them by destroying sometimes entire armies in war as the record of history tells the tales. If He didn’t do this we will all wind up as slaves doing whatever evil persons wish for their evil pleasure.
But I do agree showing children and seemingly innocent people being destroyed is harmful
I attend different churches in my life mission. I try to show the Bible’s truths over what the churches are teaching. It’s very hard and seemingly useless because arguments occur many times. But getting the truth to people is what Jesus wants us to do as it can mean their salvation.
One huge problem I fight is Hellfireand damnation doctrines which most churches in the Deep South hammer into the children’s minds from birth. What the Paradise Book shows doesn’t hold a candle to what is being served up every Sunday here in my deep southern state and I just cannot quit this ministry. I have a huge fight on my hands but I can’t stop going although I take breaks of weeks or months. Then I overcome the sorrow of failure and go to another church and try again to reveal Bible truth
10:56 THE HORSE IS LITERALLY PINKIE PIE THATS PINKIE PIES HAIR 💀
Yummy childhood trauma 😋😋
😂
🥴🥲😭🤮 shouldn't be in the classroom. I thought church and school were supposed to be separate? Both of those cartoons enough to make you sick. The Bible Book of Stories and watchtower mags were bad enough, but cartoons. Noooo. Caleb and Sophia are bad enough for teachings.
I think you’re getting the characters of Superbook confused. The red robot is named Gizmo, he’s just along for the ride. “Superbook” the character is the little flying device that takes them through time like some VR Bible wormhole.
I wasn’t raised a JW but as a Baptist in the Deep South (Alabama). I remember watching Superbook as a teen and eating that shit up. What I didn’t know was that it would scar my inner child along with the sermons I listened to during my formative years.
We weren’t allowed to talk about religion at school…ngl it was a safe place for that! So they would’ve never had a guest🤣
Oh man 😅 mentally scarred for life
Why didnt Satan mention that God likes wars as clearly mentioned throughout the old testament?
Because the animation wasn't made to give Satan an even better set of arguments, lmao
Ikr if satan were real he wouldnt need to decieve anyone, just tell them to read the bible with open mind, the bible doesn't prove or disprove their god but it does prove he is evil, and well if satan came on earth I think that would prove both the abrahamic god is real and that he is evil
Scaring your followers makes it easier to control them!
Oooo.....I definitely loosed the cringe challenge😱
OMG I USED TO WATCH SUPERBOOK😭
Same I remember the non cgi version, now I've finally seen the end.
Jesus!
"God said breaking the rule is sin, and if they ever sinned, thry would die one day."
No. He said they would die on the same day they ate it. There was even another special tree that God also didn't want them to eat from because if they ate from that tree they would live forever.
Not gonna lie, i love that satan character.
Peak voice acting.
My experience in public school was no religious stuff but once I went to a public college, I got to see people proselytize quite a bit (never forced on us by the university, but did not stop the people doing it). I studied philosophy in undergrad so in my medieval philosophy class I was allowed to do Q&A with a pastor but he was very nice (and didn't try to "win souls") so I had no issue with it. All religious ed in my childhood was through Sunday school at my local church but I remember nothing from it other than the person in charge of it being a total jerk and some of the kids being obnoxious. My father went to school back in the 50s/60s and apparently he had to go to some Christian education stuff even though he went to public school. Why is something I never got and seemed alien to me. Even odder, I am a Florida native so guess I got super lucky back in the 90s/2000s.
Pretty sure satan was offering more evidence and logic than the other side. Just because he has scary angry snake mode doesn’t mean he isn’t telling the truth.
I think that was due to the cartoon being based on the religious view of Pat Robertson, the owner of CBN and host of the 700 club.
The bit with the blade coming out of the real boy with 'Level Up' - did you put that in? It seemed out of context, yet it worked.
As a kid whenever I misbehaved or didn't pay attention in church my parents would lock me in my room and make me watch an entire SuperBook DVD and I wouldn't be allowed to come out until I finished it. Either that or the "Left Behind" movies, which terrified me 😂
I still love veggie tails even though I’m non practicing.
That show slaps ngl
......if your sins get forgiven then why would we still die? the whole point of death is to punish sinners, but if sin is forgiven then why do they still die?
In junior high school a Jewish guy came to explain their faith. And I of course argued him how they rejected Jesus🤦🏽♀️🤦🏼♀️
My grandma who was Mormon got us storybooks and the one I remember was about God making the world and it had images of him working in his workshop rolling clay into snakes and sculpting animals with two angels that he had as assistants. My favorite part in the whole book was when the angels painted the animals AND IT WAS WILD.
Two scriptures that JWS should think about ....
1 John 4:1 ......
[1] Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Revelation 20:10 .......
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Boy I must have been away longer than I thought because I can’t believe that they are doing videos much less a “demonic” video! Back in the day, we couldn’t even watch The Last Unicorn!! Smh…. I’m literally blown away😮
Rocky and Bullwinkle were a great help to me......
God doesn't live life for us. We get to learn on the way. It's so difficult that we die. But, the good guys will win....
The Mormon Sofia: she gets a "W" on "audience helped to reason".....
It's absolutely infuriating, seeing how low many Christian groups will go to try & scare kids into falling in line, all in the name of "God". I grew a Christian (don't remember which denomination, but it was they were pretty chill compared to the people spewing this garbage), but now consider myself Agnostic, & still hold close ties with my family. The 1 Christian cartoon I remember as a kid, was Veggie Tales (the 90-early 2000s stuff, not the modern stuff). That show, which Christian, did teach a lot of great lessons to kids, like how a fib can grow out of control, or don't be afraid, as God will protect you. (the 2nd 1 comes with 1 of my favorite songs from the cartoon) They didn't always put religious messages into their episodes, only saving it for when it was a good, meaningful inclusion. Along with reading a few relevant verses & giving a small lesson, at the end to wrap up the episodes.
If you are taking recommendations for you later parts, Wally, I do recommend classic Veggie Tales. As it can be a good palette cleanser with all this modern 2-dimensional (at best) Christian propaganda flying around these days.
This boy’s word, I rather see sufferings and love God reminds me of this. My jw sibling also had shown me her inner self that she rather be chosen by Jah than seeing me alive. The place I live, a small earthquake continually occurs from new year. The media is warning us a big one can come anytime, so I told my jw sister who lives in other part of country please pray hard to Jah, earthquakes are ENOUGH, enough is enough! Pray for my safety! BUT she doesn’t reply, not even a word of worry. Imagine these Supernatural believers doesn’t want natural disasters to be STOPPED by this Being. It has to occur cuz they rather want this Supernatural’s sovereignty be proved by End Time Signs😮
Your salad looks delicious
😂😂😂
Are we not gonna talk about how VeggieTales did a story on Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and included the trio (Rack - Bob, Shack - Junior, and Benny - Larry) getting thrown into a furnace?
No? Just me? Okay
I gotta say that the animation style of "SuperBook" was pretty well done...at least up until Jesus came flying in on a white horse.
As for the "guest speaker" preaching the Bible at school yeah that never happens. If they were to do that that would give the other spiritual leaders in the community an opportunity to come and preach their religious texts. The PTA and the school boards would throw a fit.
20:26 Facepalm God hits hard. 😂🤦🏻🤣
I grew up with super book cartoon in the 80s . At least I think it was my old man memory isn't what it use to be. But it was a wild ride. But man I've never seen that 3d animated one and it was insane and I loved the absurdly of it. Honestly in my public school days I can vouch that we never had a religious person ever visit to preach to kids.
God, it's Winx club daddy blond again...
The idea of Jesus somehow cancelling the sin of Adam is an odd one. If it's right, then why isn't there a corresponding ransom for the sin of Eve? After all, the written account says both Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. If there is to be a corresponding balance, then there ought to be a female Jesus (for the want of a better expression) to be executed as well. God is nothing if not pedantic, so I'm surprised such a double sacrifice wasn't catered for; or don't women count?
Christians say Adam was made first. Plus Jesus died for all “men” according to Christianity. Men in ancient times was more of a gender neutral term unlike today.
This is all very interesting. I do not remember cartoons made for the Church of Christ, just like puppet shows or shows akin to "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood" or "Barney." Then there were the Jule Miller film strips, but those were more made for adolescents, at least the ones I saw.
20:21 “if they did sin they would die one day” umm no the Bible says that God said they’d die THAT VERY DAY, which according to the Bible itself they didn’t.
I remember magenta stringing up Mrs Pepper during the “mail” portion of Blues Clues.
Steve was a lunatic
Staggering!
Oh my this is scary 😱
Fun Fact: This Cartoon aired on CBN, The channel known for The 700 Club founded by right-wing charismatic minister and Republican candidate "Pat" Robertson.
This vid reminded me of the Tracs they used to hand out in the 70s and 80s .. the more I learn about JW Narcissm the more I'm seeing how tv evangilists are the same
i watched too superbook cartoon movies and i was confused about that like what the heck did i just watch.
it's confusing and weird.
That "Gospel Guy" speaking in Public School is soooo disturbing!! I believe its illegal nationwide... I hope its not happening anywhere!
Asking kids "If you wrre goung to die today... woyld you gp to Hell?," is a horrifying scenario. Some sensitive kids would lose their minds... I know I would have.
The infuriating part is that there are teachers and entire school districts across the country that do pull that shit... I'm fortunate to live in a more progressive state, but it is not uncommon in states in the deep south and mid/southern west for teachers to bash science and evolution, promote their personal homophobic views, and push for prayer meetings or Christian speakers at mandatory school assemblies.
8:09 More like "You have no one strong enough to challenge you but me."
I went to primary school in the 80s and the local vicar used to visit our school regularly and teach us Bible stories. Then at Easter and Christmas we would all be taken to church.. The school was a state school, not religious in any particular way that I was aware of. I doubt the school still does this today.
UK?
@@helenr4300 Yup, Birmingham
0.57, I am getting used to your sayings, I said in my mind just as you said it out loud, "Boy Howdy!" LOL!
Dude- the way you spoke about creepiness, was more creepy to me! I like smiley, happy Wally! Although I agree, the start really was creepy.
I can't imagine watching some of the 1st clip, difficult to watch, because indeed, it would be terrifying for a kid.
Interesting cartoon I may watch it with my Son.
It’s so contradictory: if the wages of sin is death, then you e paid the price upon your death. If Jesus died to pay for your sins, then why would you still be indebted to your sins and sent to “hell?”
Makes no sense. Either Jesus paid for your sins, death paid for your sins, or they didn’t.
Sigh.
Lol
original superbook was so much better in my opinion
This wouldn’t happen in a PUBLIC school!😮😅
This whole concept really creeps me out🥲
Hello. LDS Member here. (Yes Mormon) We do not have shunning in our church. I don't know where you got that idea from, but not once did my parents or anyone in my ward shun another person for leaving the church. There is no disfellowship or shunning for leaving. We believe in the law of Agency. It is their choice if they want to leave, and as members of the church, we allow them to make that choice, judge free. I've made a few mistakes that my church found out about when I was little. Did they shun me? No. They helped me to overcome what was happening. I get that maybe you see our religion as a bit weird, and honestly, I don't blame you, but what I don't get is believing false notions about us.
I just saw an exjw told who Sofia and Caleb are named after. There’s a reason why. I watch a lot of videos 😂 so can’t remember who told why or whose video. I knew I should have saved that 🤦🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️
The Gospel Guy thing wouldn’t have happened at my school, if only because I would’ve thrown a shitfit (I knew I wasn’t a Christian from age 7) and my parents would’ve backed me up and complained to the school. Then again, my school had guest speakers to push abstinence and disengagement from pop culture that advocates illicit/illegal activities (read: rap music) but the speakers pretended they were doing what they did for secular reasons.
Hi Wally and Zeezy 🐈⬛ Caleb and Sophia seem tame compared to some of these. However the indoctrination is the same tactic. Listen to us or die ,Fear is a great motivation 😈
If someone died by crucifixion in a movie and they showed the detail of nails being hammered into their hands, that movie would instantly get an R rating. But showing it happening to Jesus in a "kids'" cartoon is totally okay. 😒
I’m only like a minute in but I have to say it they made the devil hot 💀
He's supposed to be to attract and lead to sin
out of fear comes out the beginning of wisdom of God
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom...
i remeber my class telling the teacher to turn on superbook like whole class
So they’re admitting in that last story, that Jesus died on a cross⁉️
Hey Wally, I grew up a Jehovahs wittness too I went to school and I can confirm there were Bible classes at elementary aka primary school in NZ where a Bible teacher came to talk to the class, I never knew what about though as I was always taken out of class for that I assume just telling Bible stories or somthing it wasn’t a religious school
We had that in Australia too, I was never there for it (XJW). I don’t think they do it in public schools anymore (because it’s discriminatory to atheist’s & non-Christian’s), but my friend who sends her children to a private school regularly gives them a lesson on critical thought to counter the religious aspect of it (which thankfully isn’t much).
@@heidijay5902 Interesting, yeah I think I have heard something about it being banned in schools now
I can’t believe the Watchtower are presenting such frightening videos for children.
I guess the governing body members are oblivious to any feelings children may have
as they have never had children so have no idea whatsoever. Shameful!! 😡😡
That cartoon is not from Watchtower
I grew up in NE Tennessee and SE Kentucky in the early 50's. I attended a school in a "holler" in Middlesboro, KY in 3rd through 5th grades. The "holler" was called Beans Fork (honest!). The "holler" had an elementary school, grades 1-8. We didn't have kindergarten, and these were the days before middle school. Anyway, I remember that a couple used to visit our school once a week or so and "teach" us about the Bible and religion. No one batted an eyelash over it. Religious indoctrination was the water we swam in in that evangelical enclave. I don't remember what they talked about exactly because I'd heard it all before anyway. Your question brought back these memories. Wow! How the world has changed - my world anyway!
So the whole purpose of Christianity is to feel unashamed?
It’s crazy to see other religions that are crazy!😜
Remember: Jesus says "believe in me." Satan says "believe in yourself." I know who's I will be following and it isn't that bearded dude with long hair.
I wish I would be balanced in my life like this dish on your table
Bringing preachers into a public school? No way, that doesn’t happen in the real world (at least not in the state of Minnesota). I went to a Catholic university and being Christian or believing in God wasn’t even a prerequisite.
The kids in the classroom are now all enrolled in Jesus camp
That's scarier than The Wizard of Oz was to me at 7 years old.
What about that immortal jellyfish
the show SUPERBOOK is doing a great job,
"Wally Lore" should be its own category...
Why Satan kinda.......
Jesus coming down on a white horse like that made me lose it laughing. I grew up and believe in the basics of christianity though I sort of just do good where I can and try to be a good person. Not really interested in making it my entire life's focus. I used to watch so many christian cartoons(no cable) and all I took from them was to be nice. I never understood the fearmongering and I never felt scared by it much. Nasty they're still using that tactic though.
Oh my holy shoot. My thoughts went back and forth from "wow you must have really learned how to protect your mental health to be able to watch all that and spent so many hours on that" to "holy bucket you're insane for spending so much time watching that toxic sheit" 😅 😆 i was about to stop watching because hoowee my forks and buckets, that's like extremely mind rap*... Fricking awsome as allways mister!
Even in the fundie and pentecostal sects are culty at times, ticks off all of Steven Hassan’s BITE model.
Actually, Mormons have no shunning at all. Mormons are strongly encouraged to keep friendships and family ties with everyone even if those people leave Mormonism. That isn't to say that some Mormon family members might avoid someone in their family who has left Mormonism, but in doing so they are going against what the Mormon leaders teach.
8:30 when you remember the Words of GOD and God is our PROTECTOR AND SHIELD
A dragon -winged and headed Satan? Sign me up!!
The girl that said she didn't believe in God, I think she is in this school because her family is religious. She just isn't.
Whats funny is if this wasnt made by jws and my mother walked in the room and saw this she would make me turn this off and call it demonic
If you were homeschooled did you actually learn any chemistry, physics, calculus or the like or did you get lucky and have one parent that could teach you the arts and another that could teach you STEM subjects?
Assuming this is the US, the gospel guy coming into the classroom would absolutely be illegal. He could have done an after school Bible club outside of school hours that kids could choose to go to, but if someone did that in a public school, it would definitely be grounds for a lawsuit. I’ve heard that schools can be loose with this stuff in the Bible Belt, but I didn’t grow up or live there so I wouldn’t be able to say.
Gospel Man would not be allowed in a public school. I don't know about religious schools. Two of my elder sisters were kicked out of Catholic school so I never had to go.
