Jehovah's Witnesses video slammed for threatening kids with death for not paying attention in church
The clip, meant to stress the importance of paying attention in church and meetings, has been criticized for insinuating that not fully focusing during such gatherings can result in dying, even connecting the concept to the story of Noah’s Ark. JW.org has not yet responded to the backlash.

A Jehovah's Witness promotional cartoon has been slammed for appearing to threaten children who don't pay attention in church with death.
Viewers have dubbed the controversial animated clip, posted to YouTube by JW.org, as "stupid," "dumb" and "mind control."

It begins with two youngsters attending a service with their parents.
A little boy plays with his car, while his sister almost falls asleep. Both are then told off for not focusing on what the preacher is saying.
The family arrives home and, as they sit down to eat, their mom asks what they learned at church.
"No sleeping at the meeting," replies the girl. Her sibling then grumpily adds, "No playing at the meeting."
Their father then explains exactly why they should pay attention.
"Imagine if Noah didn't pay attention when Jehovah explained how to build the Ark," he says.
The cartoon cuts to Noah playing on a video game and not listening to God's instructions before the sky goes dark and rain begins to fall.
He runs into a building which falls apart. The screen fills with water and the game floats by with "Game Over" written on it.

The cartoon cuts back to the family, where the little boy is protesting that the story is wrong.
"That's right," his father tells him, adding, "Noah paid attention and it saved his life. Paying attention at the meetings can help save your life, too."
The family is then seen back at church, where the youngsters are seen keenly taking notes.

Commenters said that the clip appeared to threaten the children with going to church.
"These poor kids just want to be kids," wrote one poster, while another added, "Pay attention in the meetings or you will die. Yeah great message."

JW.org has not commented on the reaction to the clip.

My poor kids, I used to pinch them to keep them awake. Then I fell asleep myself I woke up during song, me and the boys fast asleep. I quietly got up and started to leave, the sister that had been studying with me stopped me to ask where I was going. I told her my boys were sleeping so I was taking them home, she said this is where they need to be, I said NOooo, they need to be in BED its a school night. I was pretty much done with those people by that time.

Yup
Thanks Outlaw
You were quite right about sKally's call

They gave her the runaround
Just like they give journalists the runaround
so we will continue to see
journalists on tv go to WBTS
and get "no comment"

Even the reps at AAWA have same results. Even though they think they are gb-like status in exjw land. LOL! What did he accomplish, yes, accomplish, as an AAWA REP? Oh wait, they did not know it was such. Why not??

http://insidethewatchtower.com/doctrine ... -contacts/

scroll down for both tapes...keep in mind he explains the first one is really the second call. lol why they can't fix that minor glitch, as a webMASTER, is perplexing, it is what it is.

ENJOY THE FABULOUS RESULTS! g:)

BTW, I mde a youtube audioreply to this. //;)

I clicked on the cartoon link
And found
"Video has been removed"

HOORAY!!!

I'd say Lee Moran's article
AND
sKally saying she was recording
And posting the recording for public
made them back off and reassess

The WBTS criticizes religions that
threaten worshipers with Hellfire
to induce good behaviour
but
here they are doing the same thing
to little kids yet

Heya Wheelie, nice to see ya and nice of you to join in....but alas!

http://www.jw.org/en/videos/

Not sure WHY WTBTS had it pulled or had it pulled or who's channel it was....HUFF POST UTUBE CH? It is ridiculous, anymore. They need to accept the fact that THEY PUT THEM SELVES INTO THIS POSITION BY EMBRACING THE WICKED WORLD AND ITS WICKED INTERNET.
