NEW understanding of the FDS
You mean newer than the new understanding we just got in the July 15th WT that we studied last week?

Should be fun when they tell all the JW's to put an ipad in their mino bags

yy chap. 5 p. 39 pars. 9-10 Masturbation and Homosexuality
9 Weakly giving in to sexual desires by masturbation will certainly not give you strength when faced with a situation tempting you to commit fornication—or even homosexuality. Just the opposite, it cultivates wrong thinking and wrong desire. In fact, masturbation can lead into homosexuality. In such instances the person, not satisfied with his lonely sexual activity, seeks a partner for mutual sex play.
10 This happens much more frequently than you may realize...
Based on Leo Greensuits' personal diary.

Why would you throw them out ? Some can actually be useful tips for everyday life._____Brother Mike
So true Bro. Mike
Especially the youth book. It gives good counsel on masturbation
and those who have relapses should put it in Jehovah's hand
and let him work it out

Here are some more "useful tips" the WT has sagely promoted:
-------
"Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world's end." Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life?
-------
w 1969 3/15 p. 171 par. 12 What Influences Decisions in Your Life?
12 The influence and spirit of this world is to get ahead, to make a name for oneself. Many schools now have student counselors who encourage one to pursue higher education after high school, to pursue a career with a future in this system of things. Do not be influenced by them. Do not let them "brainwash" you with the Devil’s propaganda to get ahead, to make something of yourself in this world. This world has very little time left! Any "future" this world offers is no future! Wisely, then, let God’s Word influence you in selecting a course that will result in your protection and blessing. Make pioneer service, the full-time ministry, with the possibility of Bethel or missionary service your goal. This is a life that offers an everlasting future!"

Londo111: I'm assuming the online Study Guide will replace the Reasoning book?
Maybe so, but in the talk at the DC where they mentioned the new JW Study Guide release, the speaker made it sound like the JW Online Study Guide was going to be replacing the CD-Rom Library.
When you stop and think about it, the CD-Rom Library with its' tons and tons of corrections, errors, old light, updates and out-dated information is no longer of any value to a serious JW researher.
To us, here on JWN the WT CD-Rom Library is a gold mine of contradictions and reversals in doctrine that will always be there to remind us of why we decided to leave this pathetic religion called Jehovah's Witnesses!
So if you have any CD-Rom Libraries as part of your personal library, take good care of it/them. As I'm sure they will be going by way of the dodo bird real soon!

I am sure the Study Guide will be the new Reasoning Book. If the WTBTS's plan works, dubs will never crack a book that predates the year 2000. What if they did? They will get DF'd for questioning the Ministry of Truth.
