Hello everyone. Anyway the blood of Jesus Christ against all fallen angels spirits with in any humans or by any humans who is reading this. In Jesus christ name go back to hell and never come back.
Also Realistic bully : Why are you so dramatic, I'm just joking. No wonder you don't have friends you freak 😒😒🙄 (proceed to push Sophia and insult her)
@@alijahkennison6636 No, it's a reference to the Spirit Bomb attack in Dragon Ball. She even does the ✋ after like she is absolutely blasting her to oblivion
It doesn't matter if you're JW or not, kids are insanely cruel and will treat you like garbage at school for being different, and the teachers really don't care: Kid: I'm being bullied. Teacher: We can't do anything without proof. (Kid commits suicide) Teacher: This was a terrible tragedy that could have been prevented so easily. 😓
Yep. As a young autistic person, I never got the hang of being like the people around me (never helped that I thought life was basically a fictional kids movie and that I had the role of the main character at a very young age). Never could understand how to act or what the other kids liked. Luckily it never got to the point of physical violence but I got harassed way more than I needed to be. Kids are cruel, being able to fit in is a bliss.
And then they tell you that “You shouldn’t have told him to leave you alone! You should have said that you were gonna tell the teacher!” And then make the victim apologize to the bully
@@Sim0n_Wasmadyou have no idea how similar that sounds to me, I never wanted to follow the rules, I wanted to make friends with my peers, the work didn’t entertain, peers could I did think, and some did but after the early years people started noticing I was quite different to them and well, endless bullying even as I’m in 12th grade at the age of 18, it, doesn’t, end. And nobody at all cares in the school system, it’s all about GRADES
And those same teachers have the audacity to be mad at you on cases where you do fight back. "Don't be a meanie bo beanie!" "He was only pwaying!" "You hurt her feewings, don't you know she's sensitive?!"
I feel like Sophia would leave the religion in her late teens early 20s… she just gives off this vibe like she would question everything the organization teaches
this is insane to me!!! as a born and raised Church of Christ attendee, the videos we watched weren’t even like this! if this was a veggie tales episode, it still would’ve ended with sophia reporting the bully to the teacher and the message would’ve been “God wants us to stand up for what is right.” not “God tells us to pray and it’ll all someone work our perfectly” 😭😭😭 istg this is insane
They don't want any authority for the lowest on the hierarchy besides themselves, "Jehova" is just the mask they put on to tell people to fear them or else. "The word of god comes through me and only me", and regardless of if that is true or not, they can say anything and it's viewed as the word of god.
17:57 I laughed insanely at this as a bullied kid. Realistically she would've just got punched in the face and ridiculed for saying "Stop. You're being mean" and when telling a teacher the teacher would've just said "Just have more confidence, just don't get bullied, its not my problem." Etc.
@@BasherBeansit depends on the person. I‘m 14, and I have been through some pretty freakin‘ hard things and was powerless. But some kids got it really easy. Unlike Jw kids. (I was never jw, I was in another cult, now I believe in Taco Bell and shinigami)
@@BasherBeansI remember at being 15, I had a midlife crisis if it was worth being alive and if I was gonna die in the future, or not make it into 18. Fearing for years thanks to prophecies I hear by my own parents. 💀
I cringed when Sophia said "STOP! You're being mean." I was so confused. That's not how bullying stops. I know. I've been bullied. Ironically my partner was a bully (not anymore) and she wouldn't have stopped when a kid said that. It's sad and wrong to teach kids this
The two points here are firstly the whole point of bullying is it's an ego trip so the bully is BOUND to do something to hurt the victim and that obviously means not stopping. The second point is keeping the victim in the dark why the bulling is taking place.
@@TSN-WVK08 depends of the situation, if someone prays when is facing his/her bully, the situation will be even worse for the person and the bullying will increase
"oh, you are now going to get It Jessica! Just wait 2 minutes while I pray so our beloved one and only God sent you to my church, and shows you the truth, then you will see"
@@TSN-WVK08kids are cruel, they'll bully you for drinking water differently. If they see you praying when they are attacking, then you'll definitely get bullied more
As much as I hate these cartoons this one always makes me cry cause my friend was bullied at school and online as well he was only 12 when we lost him. Now I’m 21 I wonder how he would’ve looked like all grown up. Rip Sammy I miss you so much
anyone else weirded out how the main bully is presented wearing make-up and earrings and generally acting in a stereotypical "teenager" way? something something slut shaming etc.
Also the animation is absolutely disgusting, as a 2d animator and artist (ik it’s 3d but still) I wanted to throw up when I saw those kids, like do you have no good character design? 😭
yeah, idk why parents didnt do nothing, we must pray, but also act, other thing that i dont like is that many people think this is what actual christianity is about and when people see this, they start to having negative thoughts about christianity. Beware from disguised Wolves.
I feel horrible for that girl she has to deal with bullying, while her parents just tell her to pray to johova and read a stupid Bible verse. Bullying shouldn't be normalized.
Ok, I totally understand people and their opinions, and I also don’t agree how Sophia is just praying and not taking action. After all the Bible says that faith without works is dead. However, I would just ask that you please not call the Bible stupid with your comment. It’s really offensive, and even if you think that way, I’m sure there is a way you could’ve rephrased that in a better way. No one has it all figured out, trust me, not even Christians, but we leave the stuff we don’t know what to do with God. Im from a different denomination of Christianity and I’m not a Jehovah Witness, but rather Pentecostal, but I really feel there’s no point in shaming our God. Thank you, and have a good day.
Oh boy, it sure would be nice if telling adults about your bullies worked. Unfortunately, based on the experience of myself and everyone I've known that's been bullied, it literally never worked ever. Funny enough physical violence did occasionally work, as did occasionally "making friends" with the bullies, but there wasn't a really good way to get out of the situation aside from growing out of their reach. Actually, if there were a religion where prayer could stop kids from being bullied, that religion would have SO MANY followers. Also cringed at the prayer bubbles, that part was so overly dramatic and stupid.
Never worked for me either. When I report bullies it just gets swept under the rug and eventually forgotten. Teachers would always say they can't do anything if there's no evidence or no one steps up to be a witness, even when it happened in front of a whole class. But I can be thankful for my family that they took my situation seriously and reported to my school and didn't just tell me to pray and figure it out myself.
Same for me. Adults never stood up for me, so I had to deal with it myself. Ended up giving one kid a minor concussion and sprayed air freshener in one kid’s eyes. He got a chemical burn as far as I remember. It could be a funny story about standing up to the bullies but this experience made me give up my trust in adults completely. Next time a diabetic girl called me names I asked my friend to restrain her and tore off her pump. I was probably a bully in her eyes.
I had a slightly positive experience. Middle school they didn't do jack shit about it. Highschool idk what the fuck they did but they sure as shit got it to stop
As someone who is catholic bro I was being bullied in my catholic school and what did my parents do? They told me God wants you to stand up for yourself and they helped me report the bully and there I lived happily ever after…. BUT IT DONT WORK WHEN YOU SAY-hey stop that’s not nice
My dad told us last night that the reason God allows people to do bad things is cause God doesn't want to take away free will... Yeah, I'm leaving Mormonism as soon as I can
Yes, true, God doesn't take away free will, but also remember that there are consequences to every action. "For every action, there is a reaction". What I mean is that, if I do something bad, and I seem to get away with it, I shouldn't rejoice because my punishment for that sin is coming. Likewise if you do something good, and it doesn't seem that no one's rewarding you; don't despair. Your reward will still come anyways. Now, to clarify the air, I'm not talking from a religious standpoint. it's just a normal law in life. Now coming back to religion, yes, God doesnt take away free will. This was only possible when Jesus came and died for our sins. That's why in the Old Testament, the moment anyone sinned, God's going to kill you. He was really strict about not sinning and my God, if you were a defaulter, you were bound to suffer immediately. Remember, God allows free will, but there are consequences for every action you take. So it's up to you to sit down and ask yourself "Is this the right thing to do before God's eyes?" I think I like the concept of free will, because as a human, I know I am not perfect, so I make mistakes. I do bad things sometimes. And I learn my lessons. Consequences come, and I sit and reflect, and be a better person (it's not easy, tbh). But if there was no free will, the moment you're stealing your mom's money from her purse, you're instantly getting sick or you won't pass that exam you've been praying for (action-consequence rule)
@ifeanachosonia5787 I also remember that the adultery commandment originally only applied to women and women were seen as property, and the bible supported beating slaves as long as those slaves didn't die, and that it said the disabled shouldn't go up to God, and in Mormonism, black people were seen as evil and that they were black because they didn't love God.
@ifeanachosonia5787 Plus, there are Christians who see my autism as a punishment for me sinning, so I'm definitely not joining Christianity knowing that, even when they don't see my autism as a sin, they still do not accommodate me for it.
I hate when bullies are portrayed as the kids that get bad grades. That just isn't reality. In reality, the bullies are the "good" kids that get good grades, and the kids being bullied are too depressed and they get bad grades.
Both can be reality and I'm only guessing can depend on the type of schooling. I've been bullied by the obvious bad kid crowd, who did very little work in school and I wouldn't have considered myself the depressed nor getting bad grades. Can't just lay a blanket over bullying anyone can do it, but I agree there should be more depictions.(Maybe red head is a straight A student who knows?)
Kinda but theyre widely hated and with all these stupid rules about hoe kids should behave they ARE going to be bullied. This is just one way to tell them ‘see? Satan really is after you because youre doing the right thing!!’
15:17 I might be thinking way too hard about this, but this sequence is making me wonder if the bullies are supposed to be an inversion of speak no evil (goth-ish girl puts a lollipop in her mouth), see no evil (ginger girl cleans and puts on her glasses), hear no evil (short girl puts on her headphones).
Worldly music, makeup, piercings… idk man. They make me feel sinful. Very nice. To be honest I listen to Bathory and that alone would send me to hell. 😔🙏🏻 Gonna party w the devil, B!tch!
“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.” CS Lewis
13:02 never understood the purpose of prayer. You have to beg Jah to do things when he already knows what's best for you. Sophia makes some really valid points.
If I said I was going to tell on my bullies they just beat me worse. And the teachers were either on the bullies side, or were bullies themselves. I did get two bully teachers fired, but most were allowed to bully.
18:00 About the bullying part: Sophia saying "Stop, Angela" and also doing the stop signal with her hand just gave me vibes of Dora the Explorer's quote "Swiper, no swiping", as if it would be effective in real life 😂 Sophia also said that she'd tell (the possible authority from school that at least theoretically deals with bullying occurrences) if her bullies kept being mean to her, but the truth is that schools don't really care for the bullied students nor do measures that actually work for them when giving minimal attention to such issue, at least in my personal experience. In reality, these three couldn't care less about possibly being punished...
@@josefernandovillanuevahida8620 oh, it makes sense 🤔 though your suggestion is still technically more effective than seeking for help when being bullied in real life, unfortunately. My point was that even if, in a hypothetical scenario, the message from the cartoon wasn't counter productive in itself, we live in a reality where suggesting measures to mitigate bullying at least, as many other issues, is still easier and much more said than done, basically. Your input however makes a lot of sense :)
Hello everyone. Anyway the blood of Jesus Christ against all fallen angels spirits with in any humans or by any humans who is reading this. In Jesus christ name go back to hell and never come back.
8:29. Caleb pray for the brothers and sisters..not for world peace, banishing poverty or for a healthy environment and saving biodiversity. Never pray for the big issues.

All stay strong We live eternally All is well in Jehovah’s family Lives, they fell to pure insanity All is hell in the Jehovah’s family I never did go near 'Cause I know just what I saw Yet on a day of joy My life ended to their flaws Now I'm all alone Fighting monsters in the dark I wish that I could live But I fear I've gone too far! Always begging please Yet the outcome I would dread I have fallen to my knees Let my pride get to my head Now I'm all alone Hearing whispers in the dark I wander through the past Seeing memories afar! All stay strong We live eternally All is well in Jehovah’s family Lives, they fell to pure insanity All is hell in the Afton family All is well Can you tell? Time for us to think and dwell Time to sing everyday, we are the Jehovah family All is well Can you tell? Lead the mother back to hell This outcry sets us free, we are the Jehovah family We can only roam When the mothers put to rest I just want to go back home And get rid of all this stress Now I'm all alone Seeing nothing but the dark I walk without the fear That’ll only go so far All stay strong We live eternally All is well in the jehovah family Lives, they fell to pure insanity All is hell in the Jehovah family!
imagine this whole series actually ends up taking a turn where the girl confronts her parents and ends up rebelling PERMANENTLY, like it just turns into a whole documentary on how her family's acting almost cultish about being JWs
My dad was driving me to spirit halloween (I'M A TEENAGER GUYS JUST TO CLARIFY) and I was like "look, there's the kingdom hall of Jehovah's Witnessess" and my dad said "OH NO YOU NEED TO GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT WITH A TOOTHPICK!!!" and I was like "???????"
I'm conflicted. I feel bad that children are subjected to this doomsday propaganda. But the lunacy in these cartoons is hilarious 😂. Animated sickness!
Mine, too. Turns out my dad was an a##hole, so I really don't think much of that. But, my mother is still alive and in her 70's. She only lives about 15 minutes away and we've not spoke in 10 years. Same goes for my own children.
"Are there no teachers around?" No, they're usually good at knowing teacher's schedules. There's a reason they're teacher's pets. Since then they can learn everything about that teacher, and usually that teacher will tell them things they wouldn't be able to find out otherwise.
I mean, at least the mom was a little comforting and didnt just say "Well, jahavoah..." Bullying is never ok and its just so freaking messed up that they tell kids to pray and one day everything bad will go away.
I don't think things have changed but back when I went to school teachers didn't stop bullies. In fact if they also thought the bullied kid was weird, they joined in on the bullying.
I'll be honest, never ONCE did any of my prayers get answered when I was a JW, not even when I was at my peak JW-ness and desperate enough to interpret anything I could into an answer. It wasn't until I spent over a decade as an atheist that my first prayer after was actually answered in such a profound and immediate way that it was enough to make a Christian out of me. It's been almost two years since that day and every prayer since then has been answered as well, sometimes within a day or two, sometimes immediately, sometimes within a few weeks, but always answered. Because of my own lived experiences, I find it quite telling that they had to make a whole video about Jehovah not answering JWs' prayers.
I thought about listing at the very least the first few months of prayer that first led me to God, but I was worried it would detract from the point and turn into something else entirely, but I'm glad you've given me an excuse to. The first answered prayer came when I was at my lowest, and I was sure I was going to end it all. Even without believing in him, I prayed that God would take care of my mom after my passing, as well as my two dogs. I figured either I was wrong and there really was a God out there listening, or I was right and there was nobody there and I would lose nothing. Immediately after a rushed and messy prayer, I felt what I could only describe as a "breath" fill me, and my desire to end my life subsided. Instead, it was replaced with a vigor to live, to make something of myself. I interpreted this as God using my own self to answer my prayer. The second answered prayer actually answered two at once. After the aforementioned event, I didn't know where to turn to. There are SO MANY denominations, and so I prayed every day for guidance. Later, I was sure I was going to lose my job, and then I prayed for a way to feed my mom after. The very next day, an old friend of the family, one we hadn't seen in YEARS showed up out of the blue, invited my mom to lunch, and while they were out, she told her about a food drive held every week at the nearby Catholic Basilica. Despite being a JW herself, she accepted, and we started going every week. This next part is only tangentially related, but one week I went by myself, and I felt this PULL, an urge, to get down at the book shop at the basilica, and while I was there, I was drawn to a very specific rosary. I ended up buying it even though I didn't know what it was for or even how to use it. Eventually, I underwent training I needed before even applying to become a substitute teacher, but by the time I went through training and got my certification, the job listing at the school district near my home had gone down, and so I prayed about it. Incredibly, within a few minutes of prayer the job listing went up, and I had enough time to apply, attach my resume, everything. It stayed up for a few minutes more and then went back down again, and it stayed down. I kept checking after because I was amazed this had happened after prayer and I wanted to see if it was maybe coincidentally just going down every once in a while and I had just gotten lucky, but it didn't come back up after a few days. By this point, I had opened up to maybe converting to Catholicism, but I was very nervous and still lost about where specifically to go to make this happen. Then, one day, as I was coming home from that job training I mentioned earlier, I felt this incredibly strong urge to pull the rosary I had bought before out of my pocket. It broke. for some reason. One of the links came undone as I had pulled it out. I was pretty bummed out about this, and I stopped by the red light at an intersection to try fixing it. I succeeded, but I still looked up where I could buy another near me, because this one had been so special to me. I didn't want it to break further so I wanted to buy a second to carry on my person. I learned that right around the very same corner I had stopped at to fix my rosary, there was a Catholic parish. I visited and bought a second rosary, but remembered I had been praying about where to go IF Catholicism was where I was meant to be. I was still too nervous to actually take the first step, though. A few weeks pass and I still hadn't made a move, and I prayed about it. That same day I felt the same incredible urge to pull my rosary out of my pocket and it too broke, and I understood this sign very clearly. "I already led you where you needed to go. You've been through this once already." Events like these kept happening over and over. Once, I had begun to doubt Catholicism again (JW brainwashing is pretty severe), and I prayed for guidance. That same day I met two Catholic women at work who have, to this day, been a firm reminder of the faith I had come to adopt. Every time I experience ANY doubt, at least one of them winds up working at the same school I do and reinforces my faith. The odds of that happening by chance are so incredibly low, with how many schools the district has. This one isn't entirely an answer to a prayer, but I still remember the day I finally signed up for RCIA, to convert to Catholicism. The next day I worked after that, a student I had never met before, never even seen before, came up to me. "Hey. Hey, sir." I thought he maybe needed help with something, but all he said was, "Jesus loves you," and he walked away. Considering this was the day after I had registered to convert to Catholicism, I felt like it was something far, far beyond coincidence. I walked into my classroom and cried my eyes out in private as I prayed in thanks. This is only a small example of the many, many conversations I've had with God wherein he has answered my prayers, but it is a CONSTANT thing now. Not even as the most devout JW did I ever experience anything like this.
@@José.Catholicized I'm sorry that you took so much time to spell out a series of coincidences and self-manifestations in addition to being insanely superstitious. You obsessed over finding spiritual community and I'll be damned if you weren't going to find it under every rock. Of course. The job listing thing? Get real. What you should ask yourself is why YOUR prayers for these mundane and common things are so readily answered while cancer-riddled children die daily when entire communities are praying for them as well. Who are you to have these low-level requests granted? They're not granted. You've set your mind on things that you are making happen. The end. But, at least you got your story out. Good for you.
@@Eric_01 "For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible." For me, having every single one of my prayers answered is more than enough for me to believe in a God. No disrespect, of course, but I don't need to convince you. My prayers ALL received answers regardless, whether you believe they were coincidences or not, and that was the point of my comment.
long ass comment my theory why angela and her squad bully/torment sophia and barely the other kids (they are mean to them but bully sophia): i feel that angela is subtly an apostate/disfellowshipped girl. she is portrayed as a goth/emo girl who bullies only caleb and sophia, usually sophia. i feel like to angela, sophia is responsible for her disfellowshipping, and angela was shunned and/or kicked out of her house and forced to live with a relative or her grandparents. guessing from her eating lots of lollipops and subtle over-obsession with looking cool, her new family possibly is neglectful willingly/unwillingly. she finds solace in finding ex-jw/jw-hating friends. i feel one of the other unnamed girls is carrie (likely the purple hoodie among us girl) and after sophia talked to carrie about her parents needing to divorce, her parents had a fight and carrie now lives with only one of her moms. she also likely attacks sophia as revenge for breaking up the family. the other girl is possibly just a friend of angela and carrie who does it for fun.
Man, I have never once actually been visited by JW’s and today it finally happened. Two women came to my door and I answered because I thought they were political canvassers getting out the vote. By the time I realized they were JWs and I didn’t want to be rude to I stood on my porch with them, listened to what they had and politely told them I’d check out the pamphlet and that I had to get back to what I was doing. I wasn’t sure what the best way to handle the situation was and maybe I shouldn’t have given them false hope because I’m not interested but I imagine they probably get shot down a lot?
@@PawedCrusader another good question if someone has an answer! I mean like I was obviously sitting right in front of my living room window with the tv on
Wait didn’t they teach that Jehovah doesn’t perform miracles anymore? So why would he answer prayers? Also Sophia looks like the student that reminds the teacher about homework the moment before the dismissal alarm goes off.
And I thought I heard somewhere that "Jehovah won't do anything for people that can't help themselves." Since why would he waste energy on helping someone reach their goal if they're not willing to do whatever it takes to make it come true?

The two points here are firstly the whole point of bullying is it's an ego trip so the bully is BOUND to do something to hurt the victim and that obviously means not stopping. The second point is keeping the victim in the dark why the bulling is taking place.

Ok, I totally understand people and their opinions, and I also don’t agree how Sophia is just praying and not taking action. After all the Bible says that faith without works is dead. However, I would just ask that you please not call the Bible stupid with your comment. It’s really offensive, and even if you think that way, I’m sure there is a way you could’ve rephrased that in a better way. No one has it all figured out, trust me, not even Christians, but we leave the stuff we don’t know what to do with God. Im from a different denomination of Christianity and I’m not a Jehovah Witness, but rather Pentecostal, but I really feel there’s no point in shaming our God. Thank you, and have a good day.
8:50 "No, my dear, he just made you be born into a doomsday cult in a family of brainless stupid caricatures of a responsible adult!"
Oh boy, it sure would be nice if telling adults about your bullies worked. Unfortunately, based on the experience of myself and everyone I've known that's been bullied, it literally never worked ever. Funny enough physical violence did occasionally work, as did occasionally "making friends" with the bullies, but there wasn't a really good way to get out of the situation aside from growing out of their reach.
Actually, if there were a religion where prayer could stop kids from being bullied, that religion would have SO MANY followers. Also cringed at the prayer bubbles, that part was so overly dramatic and stupid.
I was never bullied instead I was the bully. Sometimes I wish it was the other way around.
Never worked for me either. When I report bullies it just gets swept under the rug and eventually forgotten. Teachers would always say they can't do anything if there's no evidence or no one steps up to be a witness, even when it happened in front of a whole class.
But I can be thankful for my family that they took my situation seriously and reported to my school and didn't just tell me to pray and figure it out myself.
Same for me. Adults never stood up for me, so I had to deal with it myself. Ended up giving one kid a minor concussion and sprayed air freshener in one kid’s eyes. He got a chemical burn as far as I remember.
It could be a funny story about standing up to the bullies but this experience made me give up my trust in adults completely. Next time a diabetic girl called me names I asked my friend to restrain her and tore off her pump. I was probably a bully in her eyes.
I had a slightly positive experience. Middle school they didn't do jack shit about it. Highschool idk what the fuck they did but they sure as shit got it to stop
As someone who is catholic bro I was being bullied in my catholic school and what did my parents do? They told me God wants you to stand up for yourself and they helped me report the bully and there I lived happily ever after…. BUT IT DONT WORK WHEN YOU SAY-hey stop that’s not nice

@@CorinaSha That was a joke
My dad told us last night that the reason God allows people to do bad things is cause God doesn't want to take away free will... Yeah, I'm leaving Mormonism as soon as I can
Good choice
Yes, true, God doesn't take away free will, but also remember that there are consequences to every action. "For every action, there is a reaction". What I mean is that, if I do something bad, and I seem to get away with it, I shouldn't rejoice because my punishment for that sin is coming. Likewise if you do something good, and it doesn't seem that no one's rewarding you; don't despair. Your reward will still come anyways. Now, to clarify the air, I'm not talking from a religious standpoint. it's just a normal law in life.
Now coming back to religion, yes, God doesnt take away free will. This was only possible when Jesus came and died for our sins. That's why in the Old Testament, the moment anyone sinned, God's going to kill you. He was really strict about not sinning and my God, if you were a defaulter, you were bound to suffer immediately.
Remember, God allows free will, but there are consequences for every action you take. So it's up to you to sit down and ask yourself "Is this the right thing to do before God's eyes?"
I think I like the concept of free will, because as a human, I know I am not perfect, so I make mistakes. I do bad things sometimes. And I learn my lessons. Consequences come, and I sit and reflect, and be a better person (it's not easy, tbh). But if there was no free will, the moment you're stealing your mom's money from her purse, you're instantly getting sick or you won't pass that exam you've been praying for (action-consequence rule)
Ah yes, "free will " : the scientific explanation for the lack of proofs, for everything that goes wrong.
@ifeanachosonia5787
I also remember that the adultery commandment originally only applied to women and women were seen as property, and the bible supported beating slaves as long as those slaves didn't die, and that it said the disabled shouldn't go up to God, and in Mormonism, black people were seen as evil and that they were black because they didn't love God.

Plus, there are Christians who see my autism as a punishment for me sinning, so I'm definitely not joining Christianity knowing that, even when they don't see my autism as a sin, they still do not accommodate me for it.
I hate when bullies are portrayed as the kids that get bad grades. That just isn't reality. In reality, the bullies are the "good" kids that get good grades, and the kids being bullied are too depressed and they get bad grades.
There is a lot of truth to this!
Both can be reality and I'm only guessing can depend on the type of schooling. I've been bullied by the obvious bad kid crowd, who did very little work in school and I wouldn't have considered myself the depressed nor getting bad grades. Can't just lay a blanket over bullying anyone can do it, but I agree there should be more depictions.(Maybe red head is a straight A student who knows?)
I get bullied by kids with mid grades, while i have kinds good grades. Your personal experience isnt reality to everyone
Yeah same, in primary I was bullied mostly for having good grades.
Speaking from a lot of experience, yes.
This is persecution fetish. They dream about being persecuted this hard.
Kinda but theyre widely hated and with all these stupid rules about hoe kids should behave they ARE going to be bullied. This is just one way to tell them ‘see? Satan really is after you because youre doing the right thing!!’
they jork it to the thought of persecution
Well with this "US Against THEM" mentality, it prevents its members from leaving the cult because they think no one outside will help and accept them.
It's what Nietzsche's called the Slave Morality.
15:17 I might be thinking way too hard about this, but this sequence is making me wonder if the bullies are supposed to be an inversion of speak no evil (goth-ish girl puts a lollipop in her mouth), see no evil (ginger girl cleans and puts on her glasses), hear no evil (short girl puts on her headphones).
I thought the lollipop was a stand in for a cigarette

If I said I was going to tell on my bullies they just beat me worse. And the teachers were either on the bullies side, or were bullies themselves. I did get two bully teachers fired, but most were allowed to bully.
18:00 About the bullying part: Sophia saying "Stop, Angela" and also doing the stop signal with her hand just gave me vibes of Dora the Explorer's quote "Swiper, no swiping", as if it would be effective in real life 😂 Sophia also said that she'd tell (the possible authority from school that at least theoretically deals with bullying occurrences) if her bullies kept being mean to her, but the truth is that schools don't really care for the bullied students nor do measures that actually work for them when giving minimal attention to such issue, at least in my personal experience. In reality, these three couldn't care less about possibly being punished...
Maybe the fox has a mental problem, something like kleptomania, and saying the phrase helps to calm him.
@@josefernandovillanuevahida8620 oh, it makes sense 🤔 though your suggestion is still technically more effective than seeking for help when being bullied in real life, unfortunately. My point was that even if, in a hypothetical scenario, the message from the cartoon wasn't counter productive in itself, we live in a reality where suggesting measures to mitigate bullying at least, as many other issues, is still easier and much more said than done, basically. Your input however makes a lot of sense :)

Yeah, stop to pray right in front of the bully and then admit you're a snitch. That's gonna go over well.
I'll be honest, never ONCE did any of my prayers get answered when I was a JW, not even when I was at my peak JW-ness and desperate enough to interpret anything I could into an answer. It wasn't until I spent over a decade as an atheist that my first prayer after was actually answered in such a profound and immediate way that it was enough to make a Christian out of me. It's been almost two years since that day and every prayer since then has been answered as well, sometimes within a day or two, sometimes immediately, sometimes within a few weeks, but always answered. Because of my own lived experiences, I find it quite telling that they had to make a whole video about Jehovah not answering JWs' prayers.
I don't believe you at all.
I thought about listing at the very least the first few months of prayer that first led me to God, but I was worried it would detract from the point and turn into something else entirely, but I'm glad you've given me an excuse to.
The first answered prayer came when I was at my lowest, and I was sure I was going to end it all. Even without believing in him, I prayed that God would take care of my mom after my passing, as well as my two dogs. I figured either I was wrong and there really was a God out there listening, or I was right and there was nobody there and I would lose nothing. Immediately after a rushed and messy prayer, I felt what I could only describe as a "breath" fill me, and my desire to end my life subsided. Instead, it was replaced with a vigor to live, to make something of myself. I interpreted this as God using my own self to answer my prayer.
The second answered prayer actually answered two at once. After the aforementioned event, I didn't know where to turn to. There are SO MANY denominations, and so I prayed every day for guidance. Later, I was sure I was going to lose my job, and then I prayed for a way to feed my mom after. The very next day, an old friend of the family, one we hadn't seen in YEARS showed up out of the blue, invited my mom to lunch, and while they were out, she told her about a food drive held every week at the nearby Catholic Basilica. Despite being a JW herself, she accepted, and we started going every week. This next part is only tangentially related, but one week I went by myself, and I felt this PULL, an urge, to get down at the book shop at the basilica, and while I was there, I was drawn to a very specific rosary. I ended up buying it even though I didn't know what it was for or even how to use it.
Eventually, I underwent training I needed before even applying to become a substitute teacher, but by the time I went through training and got my certification, the job listing at the school district near my home had gone down, and so I prayed about it. Incredibly, within a few minutes of prayer the job listing went up, and I had enough time to apply, attach my resume, everything. It stayed up for a few minutes more and then went back down again, and it stayed down. I kept checking after because I was amazed this had happened after prayer and I wanted to see if it was maybe coincidentally just going down every once in a while and I had just gotten lucky, but it didn't come back up after a few days.
By this point, I had opened up to maybe converting to Catholicism, but I was very nervous and still lost about where specifically to go to make this happen. Then, one day, as I was coming home from that job training I mentioned earlier, I felt this incredibly strong urge to pull the rosary I had bought before out of my pocket. It broke. for some reason. One of the links came undone as I had pulled it out. I was pretty bummed out about this, and I stopped by the red light at an intersection to try fixing it. I succeeded, but I still looked up where I could buy another near me, because this one had been so special to me. I didn't want it to break further so I wanted to buy a second to carry on my person. I learned that right around the very same corner I had stopped at to fix my rosary, there was a Catholic parish. I visited and bought a second rosary, but remembered I had been praying about where to go IF Catholicism was where I was meant to be. I was still too nervous to actually take the first step, though.
A few weeks pass and I still hadn't made a move, and I prayed about it. That same day I felt the same incredible urge to pull my rosary out of my pocket and it too broke, and I understood this sign very clearly. "I already led you where you needed to go. You've been through this once already."
Events like these kept happening over and over. Once, I had begun to doubt Catholicism again (JW brainwashing is pretty severe), and I prayed for guidance. That same day I met two Catholic women at work who have, to this day, been a firm reminder of the faith I had come to adopt. Every time I experience ANY doubt, at least one of them winds up working at the same school I do and reinforces my faith. The odds of that happening by chance are so incredibly low, with how many schools the district has.
This one isn't entirely an answer to a prayer, but I still remember the day I finally signed up for RCIA, to convert to Catholicism. The next day I worked after that, a student I had never met before, never even seen before, came up to me. "Hey. Hey, sir." I thought he maybe needed help with something, but all he said was, "Jesus loves you," and he walked away. Considering this was the day after I had registered to convert to Catholicism, I felt like it was something far, far beyond coincidence. I walked into my classroom and cried my eyes out in private as I prayed in thanks.
This is only a small example of the many, many conversations I've had with God wherein he has answered my prayers, but it is a CONSTANT thing now. Not even as the most devout JW did I ever experience anything like this.

i feel that angela is subtly an apostate/disfellowshipped girl. she is portrayed as a goth/emo girl who bullies only caleb and sophia, usually sophia. i feel like to angela, sophia is responsible for her disfellowshipping, and angela was shunned and/or kicked out of her house and forced to live with a relative or her grandparents. guessing from her eating lots of lollipops and subtle over-obsession with looking cool, her new family possibly is neglectful willingly/unwillingly.
she finds solace in finding ex-jw/jw-hating friends. i feel one of the other unnamed girls is carrie (likely the purple hoodie among us girl) and after sophia talked to carrie about her parents needing to divorce, her parents had a fight and carrie now lives with only one of her moms. she also likely attacks sophia as revenge for breaking up the family.
the other girl is possibly just a friend of angela and carrie who does it for fun.
that song saved my life
I was in a coma for 4 years and when that song came on I
woke up for the first time and threw it out the window
🥰🥰🥰
I cringed mega HARD when she started praying, and those bubbles of prayers started emitting that energy, almost killed me 🤣
The most realistic part of these episodes is that Sophia is depressed in so many of them 😭
Man, I have never once actually been visited by JW’s and today it finally happened. Two women came to my door and I answered because I thought they were political canvassers getting out the vote. By the time I realized they were JWs and I didn’t want to be rude to I stood on my porch with them, listened to what they had and politely told them I’d check out the pamphlet and that I had to get back to what I was doing. I wasn’t sure what the best way to handle the situation was and maybe I shouldn’t have given them false hope because I’m not interested but I imagine they probably get shot down a lot?
You have to ignore them. They will be back all because you even feigned interest in the pamphlet.
Will they come back if you weren’t home? Can you pretend to not be home or do you actually have to tell them you’re not interested?
@@PawedCrusader another good question if someone has an answer! I mean like I was obviously sitting right in front of my living room window with the tv on
@@PawedCrusaderusually yes, my mom is a Jehovah’s Witness and they will come back if you are not home
It makes them happy, why not?
I just finished entire DUNE series and it summarizes everything about religions perfectly.
Here's my take : God didn't answer Sophia's prayer, because He wanted her to stand up to her bullies.
“God helps those who help themselves.”
I doubt it, being God a bully himself!
@@grf73tube God is neither a wish granting genie nor a bully.
Im dying💀😭
@@grf73tube i'm gonna laugh to this soon.
laughter is due to 29th february
20:03 uh NO, Sophia is a girl so she needs a GIRL Bible verse, clearly.
bruh as soon as the song started i thought i lost it but damn 16:50 this is so baaaad😭
I HAD GOOSEBUMPS OF CRIIINGEEE
18:07 "N U H U H"
Wait didn’t they teach that Jehovah doesn’t perform miracles anymore? So why would he answer prayers? Also Sophia looks like the student that reminds the teacher about homework the moment before the dismissal alarm goes off.
And I thought I heard somewhere that "Jehovah won't do anything for people that can't help themselves." Since why would he waste energy on helping someone reach their goal if they're not willing to do whatever it takes to make it come true?
@@vanovasmith9586 because she's just a little girl and he as an omnipresent all-knowing being should be able to help her grow then. Since her parents clearly suck at it.
@@alexf225 and kids can be cunning and smart about things. They might not get revenge on a bully like a grown up, but they usually find a way to make the bully leave them alone.
9:33 Not them pulling out my name 😭
at first i was thinking sophie x bully but then i realized that sophie x her friend fits more and im going to keep this ship up till JW goes down
I need an au where Sophia leaves the cult and gets with her friend when she's older (real)
The problem Is that Sophie thinks being homosexual Is bad.
Literally majority of these episodes go against their own agenda,and show how bad it is to grow up as a jw.
15:00 I fucking pissed myself 💀
