00DAD - enjoyed your deconstruction of the "Caleb and friends" series. . . Yes, this is yet another reason they don't want folks going to those nasty COLLEGES AND UNIVERITIES - you learn about child psychology and development and what is and isn't age appropriate (at least I've learned that. . . )
Yeah, they have no clue, never did.
Beat Satan out of your kid, throw out magic toys, read bible stories. . . Yeah, that'll do it. . .
The bible-warning-sticker is pretty cool - anyone know where you can get those?

I wonder if this is a prelude toward lowering the baptism age from 6 to 3. Imagine a 4 year old getting disfellowshipped.

babies have no choice

What we DIDN'T see was Caleb going out under cover of darkness and rescuing Sparlock from the dumpster.
CUT TO: JW Mom & Dad catching him playing with his magic wand ...
CUT TO: Caleb, who was baptized at 3 years and 7 months, is in a Judicial Meeting for apostasy and spiritism.
CUT TO: Service Meeting, Elder I. N. Quisition walks to platform, "Caleb xxxx is No Longer One of Jehovah's Witnesses"

This would have been me. Bin there done that.
If you spell Caleb's name backwards. it spells "Belac". Wasn't Belac one of the most evil pagan gods in olden-times? Why would the Watchtower choose a child's name that - viewed in a mirror - reeks of pagan evilness? What can it all mean? What can we do about it? How can we save the world's children from both Sparlock and Belac? Why has my stomach ulcer just got vastly bigger and more painful? Where is the paracetamol when I need it? Hell, where is the Watchtower writing committee to soothe and reassure me?
It's a big, horible, frightening world out here and I need deluded, self-righteous answers to my urgent questions.
On a related note, I wouldn't choose to expose children to the Watchtower's warnings about magic, but you'd be surprised what children can be parentally warned about but love doing just the same.
