"You see, Caleb, our brothers on the governing body know what happens when you steal; when they got caught stealing artwork from a whiskey distiller, they were super embarrassed.
Let's learn from their mistake, OK Caleb?"
Not the most gripping plot in Caleb's latest adventure...

Thought this was too funny! It was e-mailed to me from a friend who hasn't quite signed up yet, but doesn't mind me posting his anonymous comments: "Caleb wants something that doesn’t belong to him. What helps him make the right decision?" I would ask this: "WT wants something that doesn't belong to it- your time, your life, your family inheritance, your worship. What will help WT make the right decision?" Oh, yes, I remember- actually following the Bible.

I remember seeing a programme on a cult that also used videos to indoctrinate children.
This Caleb video is no less creepy then those ones were back then.
I am surprised they haven't got Jehovah themed nursery rhymes.

Hardly a gripping plot.
You're very generous, Cedars.
I would say they missed the plot.
Completely.

It really is a 'great' lesson: The reason you shouldn't steal is because if you do, an angry man in the sky won't be your friend. What a wonderful source of morality.
Back in reality...
(Caleb thinks about stealing the candy, then remembers...)
Dad: How would you feel if someone stole something of yours.
Caleb: I wouldn't like that. It would make me sad.
Dad: If something would make you sad if someone did it to you, you shouldn't do it either.

I think the old Star Trek episode, The Apple covered this style of 'morality' fairly well:
AKUTA: Vaal has spoken to me. His words are true. Hear them. We are to kill the strangers.
MAKORA: Kill, Akuta? We do not understand.
AKUTA: It is a thing to do, like, like feeding Vaal. Vaal explained it to me. I will show you. This (the melon) is the head of one of the strangers. Find a heavy stick. Come up from behind the stranger and do this.
(He swings his stick and smashes the melon to pieces.)
AKUTA: It is a simple thing. It is the word of Vaal. It will be done to all of them when the sun returns in the morning.This is how you can be Vaal's... um... I mean... Jehovah's... friend.
