Come on already you are not even serious. You know something you individuals are bored out of your minds and keep these conversations going just to have something to do. Desecrated? My lands, no cartoon is causing children to get the Holy Ghost. Sorry, no tongue talking pickles and cabbage.
This conversation is insane.

No, the adults are faking it the children are sincere. I can totally believe that young people can get the Holy Ghost while the power of God is moving.
Scooby Doo, Papa Smurf, and Judy Jetson will never bring anyone to the power of God and the anointing of the Holy Ghost with the initial evidence of speaking with tongues. Do the Veggie Tales even teach the in filling of the Holy Ghost with tongues? My question is whose Pentecostal Church even was using Veggie Tales to teach the children and then had them pray through?

90% of the kids come from family who are trusting you with their children and are under the impression that you are training them in the Word, but instead of that you are teaching them that cucumbers are prophets?
I know a father who found out that his son was watching NEMO while he was in Sunday School, and the father pulled his son and family out of the church that was showing the video. So that indicates that people have desire that those they in trust their children to are bringing something just a tad more spiritual to their young ones.

So, they need cartoons? This conversation is outlandish. So before the advent of video and television thousands of years prior those people could not be helped? The Gospel speaks of preaching through ministry and apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastor and teachers teaching the scriptures.
It is insanity to think that not only a vegetable teaching children, but one who does not mention JESUS or His Gospel salvation message, you are trying to turn this argument towards a issue to show that I disprove of any kind of children's ministry. When what the first arguments

We've used video, television, ice cream, and fireworks for object lessons. We've dropped a pack of mentos down a 2 liter bottle of diet coke and explained how the Holy Ghost works. We used veggie tales story about temptation to teach about repentance, baptism and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.

Then the real test will be how long they remain. So Lord bless you and the children and may the Lord lead them to salvation.

Let me help you out here, just because someone does not believe a certain report is not necessarily calling the messenger a liar. Now consider this, if a person doesn’t believe something you present you just need to go strengthen your argument and return a re-present your case. If you take everything personally you lose your case and lose your audience. Now if you don’t have a case to prove or the one you are trying to make your presentation to is being unruly then you may tend to mock and use sarcasm. That doesn’t make

Why thank you very much, that’s really so kind of you. I will try my very best not to use Veggie Tales or Sponge Bob to convert the lost.

I said earlier that I couldn't sit through a single episode. I thought I simply had a shorter attention span than an 8 year-old. I didn't realize I was exercising "discernment."
