Has the MADNESS over Caleb and Sophia subsided?

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

I grew up with Hula Hoops being the societal crazy thing of the time ... my children grew up with Pokemon Cards, and Sonic the Hedgehog video games.

In 2015-2016 it seemed that Caleb and Sophia Merchandise, purses, briefcases, pins, buttons, slacks, suspenders and bow ties, and pictures, back car window decals, book covers, wall posters, 3d dolls like GB Bro. Anthony Morris III has in his Bethel Office, Videos, DVDs, coloring books, decorated birthd...er... baptism cakes, stand up displays, literature bags, greeting cards, Sophia colorful tote bags for girls, and Sophia cloth shopping bags for Wal-Mart, etc., book markers, key chains, 3d Printer statues of Caleb, ball point pens, and penlights, pins and brooches for older Sisters, and cartoon wall hangings for the inside of Caleb and Sophia dioramas, or JW.ORG men's ties, lapel pins, wristwatches, aluminum military style dog tags, rings, aluminum pendants for neck chains and charm bracelets, car bumper stickers, car window decals, women's pocket mirrors, flags to tie to radio aerials, etc. . Then there is the JW.ORG blue oversized umbrellas, Unisex Hoodie Jackets, neck lanyards, hand lunch boxes with Paradise scenes, and of course Caleb and Sophia., and to contrast, from Peru, a BRIGHT Pink Caleb and Sophia Bible cover entitled New World Translation of the HOLY SCRIPTURES ... over a large picture of guess whom?

Of course the refrigerator magnets and motivational jewelry are big sellers, not so much for the Caleb crochetable doll ..were the craze and along with the JW.ORG logo seem to suck all the air out of the room.

It is my perception that the "crazy years" have passed, or that it has become the new standard.

Has the MADNESS over Caleb and Sophia subsided?

..so much  so that I talk like Elmer Fudd shaving.

Several weeks ago an Elder asked me how I was doing.

I glared at him and said "I could do without Caleb and Sophia!".

He grinned and said "Well, they have their place."

I refrained from suggestions.

[Matthew9969]

JW adults such as yourself are seeing through the worldly schemes of the governing body, (and it's not to late no matter how old you are to truly come to Christ), so they are mass targeting to young ones. Kinda like when camel cigarettes reached out to young people with Joe Camel.

Not sure, they were seen in Ukraine recently ?

 

Caleb and Sofia visited the Special Convention in Ukraine in the city of Lviv. It was wonderful! Especially in 3 day are strong instructions from Jehovah. The film about Jonah is impressive. By l_kravts

I spoke to both Caleb and Sophia the other day, and when the subject of @James Thomas Rook Jr. came up, they used words I have never heard them use before.
