I was 7 years old when we studied this book. I remember just looking at the pictures each time, never understanding what the heck everyone was talking about. I do remember the picture of the bandana people though, it always made me laugh. Looking at it now as an adult, it wreaks of stereotypes and propaganda.

Wait on Jehovah - What does is it truly mean?
by ProfCNJ ingood evening folks!
we have encountered this advice countlessly on wt study articles.
this especially comes out to ease the waiting pain of brothers eagerly waiting for god's new world and the end of the old system of things - with all the sufferings that go along with it.. i also noticed this being floated to try to extend the patience of brothers who are jumping ahead of the organization in terms of thinking - as if they are pre-empting the organization on certain sensitive views and issues.. if a brother has gotten an idea or insight that is far more superior than the present affairs in the society, or regarded as way in advance - he can be branded as a brother "not in order".

"God works in mysterious ways" from non Jws.
@notjustyet, that is so true! JWs get real uppity when "Trinitarians" pull out the ole "God is a mystery" saying. Works the same exact way.

2 she-bears kill 42 children
by confusedandalone inwe all remember this passage vividly: from there elisha went up to bethel.
while he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him.
"go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!

Wouldn't it have been more loving if God had caused Elisha to instantly grow hair to shut these 42 children up rather than having all of them brutally mutilated by 2 she-bears? How does an all loving all knowing God permanently and traumatically affect the lives of hundreds of families over petty child hood name-calling? Way to take the higher road Yahweh, you sound like a god worth worshipping!

All Apostasy Disfellowshippings Overturned?
by bytheirworks inso then, read the july 15th carefully:.
jesus warned about an evil slave who concludes in his heart that the master is delaying and who starts to beat his fellow slaves.
when the master arrives, said jesus, he will punish that evil slave with the greatest severity.jesus did not say he would appoint an evil slave.

Shouldn't disfellowshipping (according to WT theology) be exacted on annointed christians only? How is the other sheep disciplined according to what the NT scriptures say if it was not intended for them?
