@ Designer Stubble, that image of Rutherford is a bit disturbing.
With regard to Loesch's assertion that you should play the Bible recordings, on a daily basis, for children that are too young to read reminds me of a childhood experience:
When I lived on Santa Catalina, the next door neighbor lady was moving back to the mainland and decided she wanted to give me her two young Parakeets (cage, cuttlebone, etc.).
Along w/ the birds, she included a couple of records that were intended to teach the feisty things to talk. Basically, each side just played the same phrase, over and over, and you put it on your turntable/changer and just let it run all day.
It actually worked and one of my birds finally piped up w/; "canaries are cute, but they can't talk".
Of course the birds don't actually understand what they're saying but we're expected to believe that toddlers can assimulate all 66 books and gain instant enlightenment. I find this interesting, considering that JW doctrine has changed so much in the last 20 years that it is obvious that a lot of blue-haired adults, that have been reading the Bible for years, are apparently confused as to its meaning. Additionally, isn't it counter-productive to allow them to absorb this information in its raw, unadulterated (read that, uninterpreted) state?
With the exception of the possibility of the these young ones being able to recite arcane verse by-rote, how do they (Loesch) expect them to benefit without receiving guidance?
