Thank you for your comments.
Well, in my opinion, I think that these show the foolishness of "fundamentalism."

Even if it is any kind of the sacred books (E.g., sutras, Bible) in ancient times, if people read those books literally like fundamentalists, people will commit a folly.
I think that Jesus rejected that/fundamentalism/Pharisees, IMO.

It is a bloodcurdling "cultural lag." (I feel)
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." John 8:7 (KJV)
The teaching of Jesus is more modern than present-day Islam, IMO.

am'haaretz anyone know of a Watchtower reference?
by moggy lover in
1. watchtower
2. bible
several years ago, probably about the 1980s, i recall reading a reference to the term "am-haaretz" [literally "people of the earth/land" a 1c ad jewish term used by the pharisees as a pejorative to refer to rustic, peasant people] in the watchtower magazine in association with how watchtower followers were to treat disfellowshipped ones.. can anyone recall this and find this reference, or am i dreaming it all up?.

Probably, is it not "disfellowshipped ones" but "unbelievers"?
*** g97 9/8 p. 13 “No Part of the World”—What Does It Mean? ***

The Pharisees even had a denigratory term for non-Pharisees. The Hebrew term am ha'a′rets was originally used in a positive way to designate regular members of society. But in time the arrogant religious leaders of Judah changed the sense of am ha'a′rets to one of opprobrium. Other groups, including professed Christians, have used terms such as “pagan” and “heathen” in a derogatory way to designate people with religious beliefs different from theirs.

How, though, did the first-century Christians view those who had not embraced Christianity? Jesus’ disciples were admonished to treat unbelievers “with mildness” and “deep respect.” (2 Timothy 2:25; 1 Peter 3:15) The apostle Paul set a good example in this regard. He was approachable, not arrogant. Instead of lifting himself above others, he was humble and upbuilding. (1 Corinthians 9:22, 23) In his inspired letter to Titus, Paul gives the admonition “to speak injuriously of no one, not to be belligerent, to be reasonable, exhibiting all mildness toward all men.”—Titus 3:2.

In the Bible the term “unbeliever” is at times used to designate non-Christians. However, there is no evidence that the word “unbeliever” was used as an official designation or label. Certainly, it was not used to belittle or denigrate non-Christians, as this would be contrary to Bible principles. (Proverbs 24:9) Jehovah’s Witnesses today avoid being harsh or arrogant toward unbelievers. They consider it rude to label non-Witness relatives or neighbors with derogatory terms. They follow Bible counsel, which states: “A slave of the Lord . . . needs to be gentle toward all.”—2 Timothy 2:24.

MrMonroe.
In this forum, and also in other forum, you can download it (2010 WTLib).
Since the Watch Tower society's lawyers are monitoring this forum certainly, I do not know whether it is good for us that I place a link here.
If you are interested in it, send PM to me.
