  2. bible

  now that the new young people ask volume 1 has replaced the old ypa book (can't believe that some don't realise why it was called volume 1 when it was released second, duh!

  ), i was wondering if anyone has ever compared the two books, the old and the new.

  what have they changed?.

  I can't believe the irony..

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  watchtower july 15, 2011 study edition page 12 paragraph 7 'following the crowd would not train our perceptive powers; nor, on the other hand, would a host of rigid rules in matters of conscience.

  that is why, for example, jehovah's people are not given a list of films, books, and internet sites to avoid...worse, it would deprive us of the vital work of weighing bible principles carefully and prayerfully and then making decisions on the basis of those principles.

  @[b]Onthewayout[/b]- Exactly. Who needs a list of movies etc. when you have far reaching rules on everything else? @[b]New Chapter[/b]- Maybe I'll tell an elder tomorrow that my smurf collection keeps telling me that I should read Crisis of Conscience and, seeing that there aren't any lists of books we can't read, would he like to have a discussion with us? Lol @[b]dm6[/b]- Agreed. Who doesn't love running around with a microphone?! @[b]Ziddina[/b]- I know.. watchtower study articles may cause sickness, please read the label ;) @[b]GL tirebiter[/b]- I couldn't agree more.. A full list of Disapproved material would probably need more volumes than the Encyclopedia Britannica! What is approved entertainment by watchtower standards anyway? Non-competitive knitting circles? ;)

  Sheep and goats...

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know the old sheep = followers and goats = the independant thing.

  sometimes i wonder if the bible got it all wrong, but i think the writers may have got it spot on!.

  having spent a couple of years working with sheep, over all, they are stupid, followers, will only eat what they are provided, scared and unfriendly.

  Are you comparing sheep to jw's in terms of intelligience? If so, that is insulting.. to sheep. ;) ''So we can probably classify sheep as being a bit like a slow monkey in terms of intelligence." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8335465/Sheep-are-far-smarter-than-previously-thought.html
