With people who don’t worship Jehovah: oh wait don’t you mean flordia
I freaking knew it was a cult! All my life since the day I was born I been LIED too felt EMMBARSSED for since I was 5yes old I wasn't allowed to 'Calibrate my birthdays' I had a very sad and depressing childhood😍😍😍😍
A little kid shouldn't be stressed over attempting a one in a million chance to convert another little kid.
It's not worth it at all.
Not if they get that 1 there a reason why it's grows
Rs. i wasnt JW but i was baptist and i stg i spent so much time stressing over the BS rhetoric that was shoved down my throat of "YOU NEED TO FUCKING SPREAD THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN AMEN AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
Not just stressed, but ashamed and condemned.
my mum was in a terrorist attack and JW people hunted her down and came over every day to try and convince her they could heal her ptsd absolute vultures
I think the implication at the end that children should try to convert their teachers may actually be a lil more messed up....
At least the other kids in her class have a freaking heart towards others and were already aware that Sophia might try to something with Zoe so they rushed to make sure she didn't bother Zoe and just let her grieve. Kudos to the worldly kids! Lol
Bro why do they make the kids them so obsessed with religion it’s like they love it and it’s a life style I’ve never seen a kid like a religion so much especially this one since it’s depressing and I’m Christian 💀
In grade 9 when i was in my first day of class i was asked whats one thing i hated or really disliked. I said Jehovah witnesses 😂 and a fellow student stood up and said im a Jehovah's witness and it kinda shut me up... We actually became best friends for all of highschool even dating my younger sister for awhile (less than 2 year age difference) it was quite a life plot twist... He was definitely singlesd out made fun of and even in lur circle of friends argued against christian on witness... But he was a great guy... Until graduation when his parents and fellowship literally made him choose to completely disown us and cut communication or be excommunicated himself.. i havnt heard or seen him since and that was 18 years ago.. and just recently in the last 6 months ive had ny best friend who was not knky my brother in arms and stuck his neck out for me saved me from homelessness... He turned jehova witness now beleives the earth is flat spacd doesnt exist and we broke off our friendship due to this damn cult... Trust me everyone this cult sect of Christianity... If you can ever really call it Christian, is horrible and breaks people apart... Next time you see an elder jehova witness pelt him or her with rotten eggs
2:25 I was literally about to mention the dog 😭 every time I pet my dog on her ears I think about it lmaooo
Is sofia being hunted by that demon child? I feel like she’s hiding
She's hiding Jehovah from other Godless creatures 😢
@@askosefamervehaha
@@askosefamervesoon Femboys?
Nah I'm just stupid
As a Christian, I am not comfortable with their radical views of the JWs
Im grateful af that my Jehovah witness aunt isn't this overbearing.
I was never a JW, but I did go to school with one. They did try to convert people, then they started to doubt things, and by Grade 12 they only pretended to be a JW to make sure she had a place to live
cringed when she was embarrassed of what she was reading. She was so ashamed 💀
that kid just asked what she was reading and she looked like she was being oppressed.
9:55 lol she looks so schizo here
The animation is terrifying 😂
If they tried to indoctrinate me when im trying to heal form a loss of a friend or family i would be really angry.
Ikr? That's like one of the easiest ways to fall into religion too.
Yeah as a non religous person I already hate it enough when I'm told to pray when times are hard, I would hate it even more if someone used that hard time to try to force me towards their religion.
No cuz getting indoctrinated while attempting to heal would make me mad. Especially since most of the time , prayer doesn't work at all. Using my vulnerability to fall for a trick that won't help but make me feel worse.
@@gamerose6571 That's how a lot of scams work, they try to get you emotional because then you're not thinking critically
hahaha for real. Either ride it out and get a result....Or ride it out AND pray - and u get the SAME result. 😂
That book will definitely NOT make that poor little girl feel better.
At this point, it doesn't even have ANYTHING to do with the actual concept of Christianity itself. It's just something used to manipulate kids by saying awful things and putting Jehovah, not even God (I refuse to say that he and God are the same thing) in order to make it seem innocent.
Imagine you're grieving your mom and your kid comes home excited to tell you all about how someone told them they just have to obey the other persons religious beliefs and serve their church to see grandma again. And you have to find a nice way to explain that the person was just trying to use their grief to manipulate them. Especially if you already have a different religion and now your kid thinks their grandma is doomed because she didn't follow someone elses rules.
@@untitled-gv3qp sickening.
Imagine getting that book, only to see that because your grandma was an atheist, she will not be very happy (is there heaven and hell in JW beliefs?)
The fact that I had that book is crazy lol

no kid is ever THIS enthusiastic about religion 😨
I was once. If a cult is all you ever know of course you’ll enjoy it.
Now that I’m my own person I despise this “religion”. I find science more reliable than a book.
In case anyone is wondering I’m an atheist now.
@@AverageCommenter-xd2zv yikes, sorry about your experience
@@anthonyfreakwardstark thank you. Unfortunately there will be many more years of torment for myself.
With no proper way to escape. You could say my game was loaded on hardcore mode.
For many jehovahs witnesses minors you’ll have no friends or family. Since you were brainwashed you isolated yourself from basically everyone, having no friends.
And your family cut off or refuses to let you speak with anyone who isn’t JW if they weren’t already all JW.
👍👍👍
some can be you just havent met them, im trying my hardest to get closer with god (im a baptist christian) but im still struggling no one is perfect

Good times, I miss them
Gonna be honest I thought he was high on the hardest drugs in the world
Jehovah and the ink machine
I could have also said five knights at jehovas, but fnaf came out in 2014,even tho some games came out 2017 and we're popular
I NEVER brought literature to school. I was embarrassed AF to be a "Witness". I was NEVER a believer. Even as a kid. But the threat of punishment from my elder father and pioneer mother kept me "in line", so to speak. Once I was old enough and, more importantly, brave enough to leave, (age 27) I did. Not df'd, just stopped going. To the disappointment of my parents😂. Became a full fledged atheist. 😂😂😂. I feel bad for JW kids nowadays, that can't get away from this crap.
Fuck that makes me happy, funny almost the same story no pioneer mom. I wasted so much time
Dude, omg same! I’m not as old as you but my mom would make me waste every Saturday morning at the stupid place and listen to the people talk about god. I always felt guilty for not wanting to be there and not wanting to listen or pay attention but now I’m glad my mom doesn’t force me anymore, Covid was probably the best thing that happened to me because now I’m free to be my own person and not be surrounded by people who’d judge me for not singing their Jesus songs.
@@Ghostkun87omg I have a similar experience 😭 my mom has been a JW since i was 4 and my dad was raised Catholic. i was always forced to go with my mom and our study teachers to the JW sunday meetings. After i turned like 11 or 12 I realized that i dont really believe in their teachings but it wasn't untill I turned 15 that 💀 the guilt of not believing caught up to me and i ended up telling my study teacher that I no longer wanted to be a witness. It felt horrible letting her down after like a decade of studying w her multiple times a week, but it was liberating to finally be honest.
❤❤❤
Same. I explained religion but wasnt interested in identifying as a JW.
Honestly though, compared to other kids i knew my childhood was really wholesome. In a stepford wives kind of way.
Church was sooo boring. The only reason i read so many magazines was to not be bored out of my skull.
I had a JW classmate in 5th grade that bullied me. Seeing this is what he grew up with, I feel bad for the guy now.
(Edited for conciseness)
It probably looks worse irl, I would bet if kids don't obey their parents they're beaten
He was probably just trying to save you from hell by making your 5th grade life a microcosm of hell. In retrospect, you should have converted to JW and joined in him saving others through the tough-love of bullying.
@@BuddyLee23 nah unlike you we dont like using fear and coercion to force people into a faith.
I'm sorry man, aren't jw kids supposed to be Jehovah's kids? Like why would they bully other kids tf what's wrong with him? Wasn't their religion supposed to spread positivism and love? that's sick
I grew up as one and abouth my 6th grade i started bulling other people too.
Was a f uped way to Deal with this cult and my "parents".
every couple of weeks i remember your channel and start rewriting my sophia and caleb escaping the JW cult fanfic
Realistically they’d escape when they’re 18 and move out or CPS. Theres no other escape if they don’t have family or friends. And trust me they won’t have either.

Both of my grandmothers passed away relatively recently and at around the same time. If someone said "sorry that you lost your grandmothers, take this book on Jehova" I would lose my sh*t
I lost my grandfather a month ago. I would genuinely have a meltdown.
My hospital roommate did this to me while being sick and my grandmother dying in another hospital. When I tell you I blew up. I actually caused one of the machines I was hooked to misalign. I was trying to get up (mind you I was really weak and was unable to get up quickly.cant even now) so fast to throw hands. There's a time and a place. And coming for someone who is going through a long medical journey but also someone who lost their grandmother and unable to see her before she passed the time was not then.
I remember asking my JW classmate why she doesn’t say the pledge of allegiance, and all she said was “my mom says if I say it something bad will happen to me.”
She didn’t even know why she wasnt doing it, she was just afraid of what would happen if she did.
Too bad it's the threat of Hell and not the fact the Pledge of Allegiance is itself cult behavior and it should not exist in school
@KyrieFortune what's bro yapping about?
The pledge of allegiance is also weird if you think about
The class of the cults I guess
@@ctchimchar5258we were tought not to serve anyone but Jehovah. So nationalism and tribalism, also basically any culture that didnt follow the bible were jusy ways to "separate us from god".
I dont like the reasoning but i didnt grow up super patriotic in the bush and obama years. I remember thinking i was so rebellious because i didnt say the pledge every morning.
Learned about all the atrocities americas committed, some from watchtower magazines, and never got offended like some adults even do. We sat during the anthem, so i remember in 2017 pastors trying to use colin kapernick sort of as an example of how the "world" is intolerant.
Like no, police brutality and not wanting to be converted are the the same thing 😂
Dang…
That poor turtle bro, he has zero space in there
I REALLY hope they're actually responsible turtle owners who were cleaning an unshown larger pen/terrarium while he's in a temporary terrarium, or they just got him and they're waiting on a bigger terrarium.
Because if they weren't giving him more space/cleaning said big space, I'mma go Doom Eternal on those idiots.
Being in this cult is one hell of a depressing childhood
You can say that again. It equals to not having a childhood.
"are you... HAPPY YOU WERE BORN (in reference to them not allowing birthdays) !?!?!? HOW DARE YOU, THINK UR BETTER THAN THE LORD!?!?!? You need to put our loving and merciful god above all else or you will go to hell when the apocalypse comes
.... Dad I'm 5, wtf...
I agree... it's nothing BUT DEATH!
Especially when you have a chronic illness on top of that
I know a kid and he’s trapped in it right now :( I’m a Christian and I’m in one of the healthy communities but his JW family won’t even let him talk with his friends
I guess I'll interpret the heart as a yes (?).
So, I'm a 23 years old, just now diagnosed autistic girl, so you can already imagine just how isolated I grew up. Three years ago I hit my lowest due to personal reasons, when the middle daughter of my JW neighbors contacted me on Instagram because she wanted to make a photoshoot featuring me! (She's a REALLY talented photographer and she liked my facial features or something)
Long story short, I accepted and after a bit of time together I actually started thinking that I had FINALLY made a friend, who lived right next to me on top of it! We had a lot in common, we liked the same movies and videogames and art... Well, until I invited her over to my house and... she discovered my passion for occultism, ancient folklore, cryptids, paganism and whatnot. She started LITERALLY taking steps back from me, as if I were scarying her, and called me a witch. I talked it out with her for over an hour and she actually chilled out, even sitting down beside me as we discussed.
A few days later, I decided to buy her a cute little keychain of a small photocamera in her favourite colour, as a way to consolidate the good outcome of that discussion. So I texted her that I got her a small surprise and asked when I could come over to her place and give her the gift... Sadly, she replied that she couldn't speak to me anymore, let alone accept presents from me, and that the only thing she could do would be explaining to me why my passions were dangerous and evil.
Now she doesn't even wave hi at me when walking past each other and that keychain is still sitting there, in my bedroom. It kinda hurt me, ngl :/
Sad story, but I just wanna let you know that what most likely happened is that the parents found out and thought your interests were "unholy" and they since you weren't a JW you two couldn't be friends so they forbid her from interacting with you, this is mostly assumptions, but its a likely story
@@Adamkleyman-id6js She's a few years older than me, she was around 25 years old at the time, so... Yeah :')
Real(except I am a witch)
I’m sorry about your friend getting sucked into the cult beliefs. Remember that whatever interests you have are completely valid. Blessed be.
@user-xy8kl6jn1k At least, what you believe in is based on something significant, like the solstice and equinoxes, and nature itself. Not some dogmatic laws. As far as know, there's no international group of leaders who tell you what to believe, or how to act. Would I choose to believe in something, that what I would choose.
I’m Christian and we DO NOT claim jw (or mormons) as Christian’s 😭
I second this (I'm a Christian)
i third this as someone who is also christian
I fourth this (a fellow Christian)
I fifth this!
Sixth boi
So Jehovah was able to heal this evil man from sickness but couldn’t save the slave girl’s family 🤔🤷♂️
God have pretty much messed up priorities, he just wants to convert "evil" people to the "good" side but "good" people don't matter because they're already good so why bother.
And he allowed her to be taken as a slave. Even though christians say he's not supposed to mess with our free will...
@@realdragonSeriously, like Job being tortured by god because he was _too_ righteous
hey guys, Christian here. so for @realdragon there's no such thing as a good person under Gods eyes, so you messed up there, and for @PraiseTheFSMonster Hell isn't torture :l
Yeah, it's just a separation from God, but I don't blame you for the false statement, its been portrayed for who knows how long. So when someone decides to live their life with God, they will spend eternity with him after death, and those who live away from God will spend eternity away from God, and God is everything good, like love, friendship, hope, enlightenment, assurance, so when you take him out its hate, betrayal, hopelessness, anxiety, etc.
@@realdragongod ain’t converting my satanic ass anytime soon, GUARUNTEEED
This is so bizarre when Sofia tries to convert other children, and her parents are okay with that because if someone tried to convert Sofia, I don’t think her parents would be happy about it. In fact, I think they would be so angry if someone really tried to do it. So why do JW's parents want their children to try to convert other kids, but they don't even try to imagine that other kids could possibly try to convert their children to another religion?
Because theirs is the one true religion, obviously.

That's why American/Evangelical lawmakers won't respect the holy books of other religions and allow them in public schools. "Only OUR interpretation of God and His holy book will be allowed in public schools nationwide". Seems pretty "BIG GOVERNMENT" of them.

I was never a JW, but was raised Catholic. Its so weird to me to see this sort of propaganda being taught to kids and how much they push kids to convert their classmates. I almost never talked about religion in school growing up, because it was always seen as something for family or church, and I never even thought to try and convert my classmates.
some churhces can be very dogmatic even if they're not JW, I used to go this youth group and they were pretty mad about the fact I never brought any non chritsian friend to it. tbh I think if a church is more focus on "our side vs theirs" type stuff that's not a church its a sports team

@@Ash-wf6me yeah that doesnt sound like ANY church ive heard of
I was raised Catholic (still am) but I was homeschooled so I didn't really have that same experience. religion was a pretty solid part of my childhood, but I have to say I was blessed with parents who gave me a love for my faith and explained why we believe what we believe rather than simply an authoritarian set of rules to follow.
my religion has been a source of peace and comfort to me, but JWs just seem like their faith makes them miserable. like, I feel so sorry for their kids to be growing up in such a depressing cult. not even their cartoons give them any sort of hope or peace. I can't imagine living in a religion where any source of fun or happiness is forbidden and where instead you have to watch depressing stuff like this.
"I feel bad for Zoe. Her grandma died. I tried to tell her about Jehovah, but I got scared. I wish I could be more brave."

I was dead proud to be a JW at high school in Apartheid South Africa. All the teachers and 1,000 students knew I was a hated and unpatriotic "Jehovah se Getuie" because I was the only one not wearing military uniform on Thursdays for cadets. I always carried my Bible and often pulled it out in class to defend the neutrality doctrine and other doctrines that deviated from the Dutch Reformed Church. The resultant physical and verbal bullying only made me stronger in my faith and by the time I graduated from school I was excited about refusing to do the upcoming military service and couldn't wait for the police to arrest me, court-martial me and cart me off to military prison in Pretoria. Back then the sentence was 90 days solitary confinement that was renewed on the 90th day, continuously until the age of 66. At the end of my first year that inhuman law was changed and I was released. I sob when I watch these videos of innocent young children who were as thoroughly indoctrinated as I was and who are bullied and isolated as a result.
WOW!!! You've been in solitary confinement in a military prison for this religion! I hope @EXJWPandaTower sees your comment! Yes the mind control starts early in this religion. If anybody has a reason to be bitter, it is you for all that you have sacrificed. I hope you have found freedom from this religion and wish you much love and happiness.
Wait, so you stood up against a de facto military regime that thrived on extreme racism?
That's actually cool
Thank Jehovah for people like you (I'm ur first subscriber)

Honestly I think I'd rather be a Jehova's Witness than patriotic for apartheid South Africa. Good on you for not doing conscription for that vile regime, even if it was because of a weird religious cult.
I had an idea of converting to Jehovah's Witnesses but after some research from it and comparing it to Christianity I immediately changed my mind
I love that you distinguished the two, because they ARE different. 🎉
@stevenhuntley8706 I have no problem with Jehovah Witnesses but the religion itself doesn't seem right
Exactly! Christianity in my eyes should be like:
"Not now, but I'll follow God when I'm ready, because God will be there for me when that time comes.
Instead of:
"Oh no, I'm being pressured to join a cult because a child from a freaking cult told me to or else God will hate me!"
@@Palacachiri For me Christianity, is like a having someone always there for you. And that I should always trust God.

JWs believe in a hell for non-JWs, right? So how is telling Zoey about Jehovah supposed to make her feel better about her likely non-JW grandmother's death?
THIS
JWs don’t believe in hell. Their belief is that eventually Armageddon will come and if you don’t serve Jehovah then you most likely won’t make it. If you die before that happens, then your sins will be paid for cuz you died, but ultimately, it’s up to god’s decision on whether or not you’ll be resurrected in the afterlife
not really, they believe after someone dies that’s it. kinda like they’re in a deep sleep. so in zoey’s case telling her about the resurrection was supposed to make her feel better because according to them those who don’t know about jeohob have the opportunity to be resurrected. i guess in their fan fiction zoey’s grandma never knew and therefore she can pet all the red pandas in paradise alongside zoey, because zoey is a believer.
No, JWs most definitely do not believe in Hell. They preach that Sheol is the grave, not Hell or Purgatory.
@@nai1729correct. Mostly. To simplify what you said, they believe that non believers die the atheist way. I.E. that’s it. They don’t think they’re sleeping it’s just a metaphor for when those who did believe would be “woken” by jehovah.
Interesting fact about leprosy (AKA Hansen's disease): it is extremely difficult to spread, and 95% of people who contract the bacterium never develop the disease.
It's still around today, but incidence has massively decreased over the last 40 years due to the industrialized production of medicine and the WHO's efforts at treatment. Around 16 million people have been cured of this diseasd since the 80s, and cases have gone down from about 5.2 million per year to about 200,000.

Even signing a contract with it appearantly won’t guarantee getting it

Absolutely NO kids would ever act this way in real life! No public school would permit this either. Its just sick

While the schools wouldn’t allow it if they noticed a lot of ex witnesses have said they were told as kids to try to convert the people at school.
@@porcirain9143can confirm
True.
I know a lot of people like this, so yes there are people like this.
Thank you for making me realize that I'm in a cult, you saved my life
Hello fella, how you doin'?
@@driuanderer Awesome, I'm now a Taoist and I'm proud that I'm not in a horrible cult anymore
@PLUTONIUM-GOBLIN good for ya fella!
@@driuanderer I'm now telling all of my IRL friends how bad this cult is, JW nearly fucked my life
@@PLUTONIUM-GOBLIN I got lucky then, my parents were from little towns, in those it's really easy to convert people due to social pressure.
14:01 I would just say “no” or “uhhhhhh ok” or even “nu uh” and rip the book for fun and throw it in the dumpster :D. I don’t like to read and I’m atheist and like I like destroying things too lol
As an ex JW, I can say this is some crazy and disgusting brainwashing crap I've ever seen. Like targeting someone like Zoey mourning here grandmothers death and then drag them into a cult is disgusting as frick bruh
Love these videos man keep up the amazing work
Stay away from the kingdom halls and everyone have a great day
FREEEDOMMMMM (congrats for escaping)
Not to be rude but, as a Christian, even I find this to be fucked up.
I believe that being Christian is an option and choice that you can freely make instead of something that is being forced upon you and pressuring you into living an unhealthy lifestyle.
Being Christian is something that makes someone happy and proud, not stressed and trapped. These Jehovah Witnesses are simply saying bullshit and putting God as their excuse like "you can't do this or else God will send you to hell".
I'm friends with many people who aren't Christian. I don't convert them, ESPECIALLY AFTER THEY WENT THROUGH A TRAGEDY.
The main concept of Christianity is to LOVE, regardless of race, gender or religion.
If a Jehovah Witness hates on someone JUST BECAUSE that someone isn't a Jehovah Witness, then are they even Christian?
Sorry if I wasted your time by reading this. Unlike those sorry excuses of Christians, I'm perfectly fine with you not being Christian; I'm not trying to convert you in any way. Have a great day or night. ❤
@@Palacachiri nah man you're fine I'm a Christian to
@@Palacachiriand your right most Christans don't even try to convert atheist to Christianity like that so wong
And they depart families by making sure that you don't celebrate any holidays, birthdays not being gay, ECT
You have a great rest of day or night to
@@joshcatgaming1108 Thank you!
But also adding on to what you said:
I find it unfair that (this is what I believe) if God literally wants us to be happy in our lives and gives us freedom as humans, then why force KIDS to not enjoy the basics of things, like birthdays, coming out as themselves via sexuality or gender, and FREAKING CHRISTMAS which does indeed have something to do with God!
Also, I did some research and as it turns out, Jehovah Witnesses don't believe that God is omnipresent. LIKE BRO WHATTT!!!! (I wish I could fully describe my annoyance and confusion thru the screen) HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK??!!! That LITERALLY defeats a major point, if not THE WHOLE POINT, of God!!
22:44 I know that people from the United States aren't exactly known for being good at geography, but this cartoon trying to portray that those kids never HEARD of India is insulting the viewer's intelligence
Right? Doesnt she go to school?
encouraging kids to try to convert their classmates while they’re vulnerable is crazy
I know...I had a classmate in elementary school and though I liked her she wouldn't shut up about Jehovah.
POV: you see a woman for the first time: 21:43
Ok, first-
That kid was already afraid she'd be bullied for her religion even though she wasn't-
I think the parents put that fear into her head
ALSO HOW MANY COPIES OF THAT BOOK DOES SHE CARRY
Just to note: Christianity and Jehovah's Witnesses are rather separate, JW just uses the bible in a much more radical way that oftentimes steers off from natural Christianity
Thank you! As a Christian, I do NOT approve of this.
I grew up evangelical and a lot of their bullshit was the same as jehovah's witnesses. And no it wasn't "just my family" or "a few bad apples" or "fake Scotsmen". It's a wide spread issue. It's baked into the fabric of christianity. A lot of christianity is cult like and bigoted. I won't accept this whitewashing.
Christianity is incredibly diverse, so to say "Christians and JWs are separate" is not true. An Evangelical and a Catholic are separate, yet both Christian. The Bible, as much as it can be useful, is a human text, and that means it has good and bad elements. If there were no bad elements, then JWs wouldn't have such harmful beliefs.
PREACH!!!
@@PalacachiriMe neither!👍
Its weird how biggest anti proapganda they can have is their own cartoons and actually makes them dangerously effective
I mean, they're so fucking depressing, they themselves addmits how horrible their childhood is, how lonely and deprieved from normal social experiences as a childhood, birthdays, having friends and playing with them outside school, playing videogames, playing with fantasies outside their religions like faries or dragons or even being allowed to have dreams like becoming astronauts, they're simply cut away from you, they show that and Kalleb and specially Sophia are completely miserable all the time just learning that they should be fine and grateful with that all the time
And then, there's this part on their episodes when their answer for all that misery ends up with "oh, just preach and talk about Jeovah" and everything actually ends up fine in the episode, but in real life? It never works, the other kids will actually feel annoyed, bored or harassed with that weird lonely kid that always refuses their invitations to hang out with them because of their church trying to preach them out of nowhere like that
And JW kid after seeing how things just didn't went well as it did in those cartoons, there's chance they'll start to dig themselves deeper in their religion and religious community and isolate themselves even more, or they'll start to hate their cult and start to isolate themselves from their own family because they're part of this cult. Either way, the second option is better, but for a child, not being able to support themselves in their own family like that? Imagine how their family would start treating them, kinda how they'll shun their 8y/o child?
❤❤❤
They will dig themselves in a manipulated religious text but they wont admit it is cult teachings.
The animation quality in these cartoons are getting worse than what they used to be just two years ago. Did they change animators, or did the better animators finally escaped from the cult instead of wasting their talents on this?
This is one of the oldest ones. The animators have gotten better over time since they probably had no classical animation training and had to learn as they worked.
@@sophiedowney1077the oldest one Is the episode where caleb trows away the magical toy, It was the very first one with the worst animation.
@@was-hereThis is the oldest episode that's longer than 2-3 minutes
@@sophiedowney1077 I'd like to see a video where Caleb and Sophia get converted to Christianity.
@@iso-didact789 reversed convertion? Lol
Thank God I grew-up with the wholesome Christian cartoons like ‘VeggieTales’, ‘The Story Keepers’, and ‘The Adventures in Odyssey Bible’.
And super book?!?
@@MeowRisukikun ‘Superbook’ hadn’t been made yet. I was in Junior High when it first aired and already in the Sunday groups for pre-teens, so we were often shown non-animated videos (unless it was a movie night).
Cringed the minute they mentioned a slave girl. I thought to myself, "Let's see how Watchtower tactfully and delicately handles slavery."
Naaman could have at least freed her at the end.
I know, right? as a commenter from another youtuber said, "the whole story's basically her as a slave being horribly mistreated, then saving her master's life so she can keep on being a slave." Honestly, that kind of toxic 'love' really does seem very JW. I mean, their whole concept of God's love is that Jehovah won't slaughter them if they believe in him while he wipes out everyone else who does. a really toxic and twisted belief that probably trickles down to their relationships with their own kids.
@@TheCombatEditor62 Or the message is that you should try and convert everyone you come in contact with, even you oppressors.
i lost at the Indian music i do think its kinda racist😭free sophia
Why would she want to help her literal owner?? Who massacr€d her family and friends??
If she is a Christian, maybe it’s a ‘turn the other cheek ‘ thing, as hard as it may well be to suspend disbelief for that level of forgiveness (this is Biblical fan-fiction after all, so characters are often going to be pretty saintly…).
Technically the message is ‘supposed’ to be that the master was so moved by God healing him that he converts to Christianity and stops doing all the evil things he was doing.
The fanfiction in this animation portrays the characters as so stupid that they didn’t know who ‘Jehovah’ was until the slave girl offhandedly mentions it and suddenly ‘yay! Everything was magically solved and the everyone lived happily ever after!’
But if this story was true, then this girl just saved her evil master from death via her Jehovah and is now going to continue suffering under him forever, essentially shooting herself in the foot.
JW is really moronic. 😂
@@BuddyLee23 she’s not even a Christian she would’ve lived before Christ would have even been born based on the story and she is a Israelite, and worshipped the Israelites God, and believed in the Israelite religion, which is the precursor to Judaism, so she would be a Proto Jew
@@BuddyLee23 Ya, Jesus was the one who said turn the other cheek and he wasn't born yet during this story. God was the one who said an eye for an eye
'massacred' is NOT a swear word.
23:15 I'd say "hell no" because I'm not partnering up with someone popping up out of nowhere and getting all up in my face
I love the implication that Sophia NEEDED the organisation to tell her to be a good person and welcome Pria. You don't need God to have morals 🙄
As someone who works with kids in a classroom in the US I can tell you they would not respond like that to a new student who is from India. They would be so popular. She would get asked so many questions.
As someone who was a kid in a several school districts in the US, I can tell you that and worse IS how a few respond to a new student who is from another country.
6:56 Hey, I worship the slug from flushed away. Back off Panda!
13:26 ah yes targeting people in a weakened state who will do anything to cope. That’s not a tactic bassicly invented by cults no no of course not😅
Wait a fricking minute, you know flushed away?! That was one of the hundreds (I am being overdramatic) of movies I watched as a young boy!
14:35 I really thought I was going to get through this one without a cringe, since I managed to get through her spreading the mind virus to her emotionally vulnerable and socially undersupported classmate. Then she had to go and say "it tells about the happy future of the Earth" about the book that shows kaiju razing a city. Yikes.
13:45 "It will help you feel better" definitely reading about the inevitable upcoming end of the world will definitely make her feel better, trust me

They twisted the story of Naaman so badly that I can't even believe it...
Exactly! At this point, it's not even the bible, it's their own thing. Like comparing Peter's (I don't remember if it's Peter or someone else) betrayal to a CUPCAKE?! 💀💀💀

@@Palacachiri I'm Christian as well and the JW beliefs are terrifying.
@@auroramartell This isn't Christianity, this is a CULT!!!
That's just religion in a nutshell
Right? I remember that part of the Bible very well cause it was important to me at some point. There was no little girl at all.
These cartoons are deeply disturbing.These children are told not to be friends with children not in their group.However their are told to befriend others to get them in their group.The message is conditional friendship. Children should be taught unconditional love and friendship regardless of a persons race,nationality and religion.
It scares me how prevalent cults like these are. I live in a small town in Canada and we have a JW and LDS Church. It makes me sick that they only go after the people they think are the most easily manipulated and emotionally vulnerable. JWs show up at my house all the time and they refuse to talk to me, they only want to talk to my mom because which I assume is because they think she’s an easy target. She knows that it’s a cult so I don’t have to worry about her, but my friend on the other hand wasn’t so lucky. I know that he was going through a really hard time in his life and then all of a sudden the Mormon missionaries showed up and somehow convinced him to go to their church. I’m happy for him that he found God, but I have no respect for people who use God to manipulate people. I don’t really know what else to say other than look out for your friends and family because anybody can fall victim
14:30, wait, she has more than one?
Idk maybe she’s selling them lol

Because it's kind of hard to get a copy of the Necronomicon.

Compared to the conceptually simple ideas of thunder gods, a God based on "the word" or linguistics is quite lovecraftian. If you want a literal more lovecraftian interpretation then look up Gnosticism
@@johng8837 There is an "idea" going around that God/Jehova/YAHWEH/Whatever-You-Want-To-Call-Him that maybe God is/was an actual _Dragon_ aince there are specific wordings in the Bible that sound similar to what a dragon would possibly be like.

Fun fact: the god pendant that the lady has aroud her neck is part of "Treasure of Ur" (that according to text on an UNESCO site was found in Mari). Azure-blue winged eagle made of gold (head and tail), lapis lazuli and copper. 2500 BC. The eagle has a lion's head and as such represented the land of Sumer under the name Anzu, a symbol of the goddess Ningersu.
Get out there and brainwash your friends, kids!
Jehovah's Witnesses childhood, tell me if my guess is wrong:
No summer camp
No sleep overs
No books except religious texts
No outside friends
No Hollidays
No vacations
No theme parks
vacations are bad, don’t get me wrong
Your getting this all wrong we are allowed to do sleepovers and allowed to read books other than the Bible we can also have outside friends we can go to vacations and theme parks I don’t know who told you that but the only thing we can’t do are holidays
no theme parks?

i love how the slave girl smirks while telling the lady who owns her about her god
8:34 : because she's considered property. If Naameh were to die, she'd probably be sold to another master. (This is biblical times, and his wife probably wouldn't receive ownership rights to the slaves.) So, while we can wish that she would be returned home, it's better to keep the devil you know alive. Tl;dr: sis was looking out for herself.
Ohhh, thanks for the information
