  Ding: I wasn't referring to an analysis of readability. I was asking if anyone has done a substantive analysis regarding changes in doctrine, changes in emphasis, etc.

  Gotcha!

  I'll leave that laborious task to someone else. I do know that 607 B.C.E. is still in there.

  Keep in mind that the current GB don't have an original idea amongst them. It's pretty clear that all of the current changes--which are 100% form and zero content--are coming from outside sources. Everything has the fingerprints of marketing consultants all over it.

  Our CLAM meeting (vid): SELF-NEGATION is the first "treasure" from first meeting segment

  by Gilgamesh in

  in the first sample video of the clam meeting (christian life and ministry) at about 5 minutes, 50 seconds in, a brother (steven phillips) is assigned the first segment of the new meeting, "treasures from god's word.

  " ( http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201510_5_video ).

  he shows just how sloppy the wts still is at trying to explain the deeper meanings of scriptures.

  Brass instruments are the loudest instruments in an orchestra. Blaring is often the accurate word!

  TOH: It's not the "old" TEACH book, oubliette - it's still the one to use.

  I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread.
  

  TOH: The new book is for those with limited capacity, and therefore it is no wonder it is written the way it is written.

  I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread.

  TOH: I don't see how you can critisize [sic] a book for those with learning difficulties to be written in a not-too-academic way.

  I know. Apparently you haven't read all of my posts on this thread. Please see my response to Barrold at the top of page 2 of this thread.

  Ding: Has anyone done a comparative analysis of the previous version and this one? Changes, etc.?

  Yes. As I have said several times on this thread, I previously analyzed the old Bible Teach book using the same software based analytical tools. It only scored one grade level higher.

  GrreatTeacher, that is a very informative comparison: Stellaluna to the new Bible Teach book!

  Thanks for sharing your research. Really telling.

  GT: that is a powerful thing to teach a 5 year old: whether something could be true or not. This is how critical thinking begins.

  I totally agree. I wish I'd been taught those skills better when I was a kid. Maybe I would never have joined this cult!

  does anyone know if this can be done or if it already worked that way where are the settings to make it happen.. thanks,.. njy.

  That would be awesome Simon: our own personal "Favorites."

  Also, what's the status of the weird line parsing glitch?

  Grreat Teacher: I still think 5th grade reading level is a little optimistic. Reading for the 5th grade classes I have taught was more advanced than JW literature.

  I agree.

  However, this is our subjective opinion, albeit one informed by years of classroom experience as teachers working with real curriculum. This is why I used these AI analytical tools to score the reading level of this new "Bible education" tool. It is completely objective and no one can accuse me of bias.
  

  Another point I'd like to address in response to your comment as a professional educator: Even 5th graders can be taught emergent critical thinking skills. There is obviously none of that in any WT literature.
