At the time of this writing, jw.org<\/a> was featuring the article \u201cPrejudice\u200b\u2014Are You Infected?<\/a>\u201d.

Buried Prejudice Illustrated<\/h4>\n

Of course, we who are Jehovah\u2019s people especially consciously avoid having and displaying prejudice. However, as it happens, last week\u2019s MEotW post<\/a> on \u201cD\u014dng<\/i><\/span>\n(East<\/span>\n\u4e1c\n\u6771<\/span>)<\/span>\u2010X\u012b<\/i><\/span>\n(West<\/span>\n\u897f)<\/span>\u201d<\/i> mentioned that scientists have observed that there is such a thing as buried<\/em> prejudice (prejudice that we may unconsciously have and act on), while the above-mentioned article (which originally appeared in Awake!<\/i>) being featured on jw.org<\/a> applies the following interesting illustration to prejudice:<\/p>\n

We Don\u2019t Have Time for This!<\/h4>\n

As also mentioned in last week\u2019s MEotW post<\/a> on \u201cD\u014dng<\/i><\/span>\n(East<\/span>\n\u4e1c\n\u6771<\/span>)<\/span>\u2010X\u012b<\/i><\/span>\n(West<\/span>\n\u897f)<\/span>\u201d<\/i>, the Mandarin field is one in which East often meets West, and while people can find the differences interesting, differences can also pose spiritual challenges, since something being different than what we are used to means that we are not used to it, and it generally means that we do not deeply know or understand it.<\/p>\n

Will we respond to the unknown with fear of the unknown? Let us make good use of the above-mentioned Awake!<\/i> article and other provisions from Jehovah and his organization, to help us rise to the spiritual challenges posed by the people and things we encounter in the Mandarin field that are different from what we have been used to. That way, we can focus on contributing positively to all the important God-honouring and life-saving work we still have to do in this field.<\/p>\n

The worldwide Mandarin field may in fact be the largest language field that has ever existed in human history, and with about 95% of the planet\u2019s Chinese people living in China itself, all the government opposition there has been to our work, all the traditions-based encumbrances and propaganda-fueled confusion that Mandarin field language learners have had to deal with, etc., we may just have scratched the surface of the work that still needs to be done in this massive worldwide field. So, we really don\u2019t have time for the problems that can be caused by prejudice, buried or otherwise.<\/p>\n
