TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD

1. Reject Unscriptural Beliefs and Customs

(10 min.)

Obey Jehovah, and enjoy true happiness (Pr 29:18; w19.04 17:10-11)

Rely on godly wisdom to determine whether a custom is pleasing to Jehovah (Pr 29:3a; w19.04 16:13)

Resist pressure to conform to unscriptural customs (Pr 29:25; w18.11 2:12)

Collage: 1. A brother takes notes as he does research using the Bible and the book “Scriptures for Christian Living.” 2. The same brother explains his beliefs to his non-Witness family members. Some family members listen intently while others express frustration with what the brother is saying. — Careful Bible-based research and good communication can help you overcome pressure to compromise
