Well there are certain levels of logic and reasonableness and one being illogical in one regard does not necessarily mean they will not be logical in another. Knowing the witness organization and their 'conservative' stance on sexual issues, I think its 'logical' that they would not include information on masturbation seeing that it is a book aimed at 6-11 year olds.

Since the new book was for "younger" kids, I don't think they would include information on masturbation (JH's recent post notwithstanding) I DO find the non-information on blood interesting however. Possibly another sign that lawyers are having more say.

The 10 point resolution adopted at the 2003 District Conventions
by crownboy inas most of you probably already know, from time to time the watchtower society likes to use district conventions as a platform for adopting silly resolutions, which more than likely are forgotten by the people who gave their approval to it by the time they leave the parking lot of the convention.
this year, during the final talk of the convention (talk entitled: "keep bearing much fruit to jehovah's glory"), a ten point resolution was adopted, with all the baby seal-like clapping following its adoption.
here's the main jist of the ten points (i didn't copy it word for word):.

Interesting analogy [WARNING: LONG!]
by embalmed ini found this recently and thought it was pretty interesting.. .
once upon a time, there lived a very powerful king.
he was the proud father of many children, but wanted more still.

Heh, Simon...
Anyway, yes it does seem like the pinnacle of cruelty to damn mankind to eternal mortality just for the first "inexperienced" humans eating some fruit. Almost sounds like the stuff of LEGEND or MYTH to me.

I just mentioned this in enother thread, but I'll elaborate on what I said. They have already done away with a lot of the apoctalyptic teachings, like the generation, and they haven't set a "date" since 1975 (or perhaps the 'weaker' dates of 1994 or 2000). Some are wondering if 1914 is the next docrine to quietly fall. Then they could change the earthly paradise to mean the "spiritual paradise" that they call their organization and say that the prophecies concerning the paradise have already been fulfilled.

What is a generation?
by larc ini think we all know about the changing definiition of "generation" by the watchtower society.
i thought i would highlight history in terms of generations.
my great grandfather was born in 1850. that would make him 29 when russell started his religion.

Well they already fixed it with their "word magic" also known as "new light"
How long until they do the more insidious "switcheroo" with the paradise? You know, say they are already there with their "spiritual paradise"? I hear them emphasizing this more and more.
