    Trouble is, they weren't so "local" - pretty widespread, I'd say.

    exactly what evil would have resulted from being a young scout has been lost on me all these years, but if I had to guess, it was an omnibus protection from homosexuality, political awareness, the ability to help another human being that was NOT a Jehovah's Witness, or (GOD FORBID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), the danger of missing a meeting!

    If the WT had a response to this thread...

    Official Memo from the WT:


    We did NOT ever say NOT to do this or that.


    If some well meaning JW elders in the past put laws to the brothers, it was brothers fault that they read into the helpful advice too much.


    IF that is the case, the brothers should reivaluate their decision as we have never said DON'T do this or that.

    "Rules" up the arse....

    The Greatest Commandment : [ Matthew 22:34-40 34]Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[2] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[3] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these """ two""" commandments." Jesus Christ who say's there only only TWO rules in life. The Watchtower Borganization on the other hand has rules up the arse.... http://www.freeminds.org/doctrine/rules.htm
