    Does the Watchtower Society go beyond what is written in the bible with their doctrines?

    I have doubts that any of the following Watchtower doctrinal issues are specifically mentioned as 'Do's" or "Don'ts" in God's Word:

    Attire

    Beards

    Blood

    Military Service

    Voting

    YMCA Membership

    Boy Scouts

    Girl Scouts

    Can you think of any others?

    Ahh, yes, but the answer to all of those is--'we are supposed to listen to those in authority over us'. That's the answer I get ALL the time for those. Or the ever famous, 'I suppose you think you can do whatever you want?!" hmm, let's see here, God gave me a brain but.........I shouldn't use it? am not qualified to use it?

    If you don't go out to preach you are worthless whatever else you do in life.

    Giving in preaching time reports

    Blindly obeying an FDS supposedly giving out light at the exclusion of everyone else.

    smoking

    Additional thought: why is smoking a disfellowshipping offense and gluttony not.

    Obesity causes alot of health problems just like smoking does.
