(<a href=\"https:\/\/wol.jw.org\/en\/wol\/b\/r1\/lp-e\/nwtsty\/40\/24#study=discover&#038;v=40:24:45-40:24:47\" title=\"Matthew 24 \u2014 Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY\">Matthew 24:45\u201347<\/a>) Rather, like any publisher who gives talks, gives comments, or just discusses various subjects both technical and spiritual with fellow believers, I seek to share what I have learned from my studies and my experience, that hopefully can be helpful to fellow workers in Jehovah\u2019s service. <\/p>\n<h4>Beards vs. Writing Systems<\/h4>\n<p>One thing I notice is that while the Bible and the organization have specifically commented on and provided direction for God\u2019s people living in different time periods concerning beards, it seems that neither the Bible nor the organization has specifically commented on or provided direction about any particular writing system like Chinese characters or <span onclick=\"plus(this)\"><i>P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span><span class=\"plusinfo\" onclick=\"minus(this)\">\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t<span class=\"lit\">{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> <span class=\"mt\">[Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span><i>.<\/i> (Note, though, that the organization\u2019s actions may have done some speaking of their own\u2014over time, overall, the organization has gradually been making available more and more official material that contains <span onclick=\"plus(this)\"><i>P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span><span class=\"plusinfo\" onclick=\"minus(this)\">\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t<span class=\"lit\">{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> <span class=\"mt\">[Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span><i>.<\/i>)<\/p>\n<p>As far as I know and can recall, one of the only scriptures in the Bible from which we can gain some insight about writing systems is <a href=\"https:\/\/wol.jw.org\/en\/wol\/b\/r1\/lp-e\/nwtsty\/46\/14#study=discover&#038;v=46:14:8-46:14:11\" title=\"1 Corinthians 14 \u2014 Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY\">1 Corinthians 14:8\u201311<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<strong>8<\/strong> For if the trumpet sounds an indistinct call, who will get ready for battle? <strong>9<\/strong> In the same way, unless you with the tongue use speech that is easily understood, how will anyone know what is being said?

Indeed, many, many languages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethnologue.com\/faq\/how-many-languages-unwritten\/\" title=\"How many languages in the world are unwritten? | Ethnologue Free\">don\u2019t even <em>have<\/em> a writing system<\/a>! And yet, as <a href=\"https:\/\/wol.jw.org\/en\/wol\/b\/r1\/lp-e\/nwtsty\/66\/14#study=discover&#038;v=66:14:6\" title=\"Revelation 14 \u2014 Watchtower ONLINE LIBRARY\">Revelation 14:6<\/a> shows us, this does not stop the preaching of the good news in any of these tongues, that is, <em>spoken languages:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nAnd I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(Interestingly, while it mentions \u201cevery\u2026tongue\u201d, or spoken language, this scripture doesn\u2019t bother to mention writing systems either.)<\/p>\n<p>So, while the prevailing worldly Chinese culture may tell us that Chinese characters are awesome and that we should all primarily focus on learning them, the Bible and the organization consider beards more worthy of mention than writing systems like Chinese characters. One thing that the above-mentioned video points out as something to avoid is \u201ccontradicting the guidance from the organization\u201d, and it\u2019s not difficult to avoid this with regard to, say, Chinese writing systems when there <em>is<\/em> no guidance from the organization about this subject (unless one has a tendency to, say, carry on as if there <em>has<\/em> been guidance from the organization to focus on Chinese characters when, actually, as far as I am aware, there has <em>not<\/em> been any such guidance, and what writing system to use remains a personal decision). <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, though, if we focus on the inhumanly and unnecessarily numerous and complex Chinese characters so much that our abilities to understand spoken Mandarin and to speak Mandarin understandably remain seriously underdeveloped, then we would obviously not be following the counsel at 1 Corinthians 14:8\u201311 about the need to prioritize and use <em>understandable speech<\/em> in our ministry.<\/p>\n<h4>Traditions and Divisions<\/h4>\n<p>It is evident, then, that if any publisher were to make a fuss in support of the Chinese characters writing system or opposing or ridiculing the <span onclick=\"plus(this)\"><i>P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span><span class=\"plusinfo\" onclick=\"minus(this)\">\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t<span class=\"lit\">{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> <span class=\"mt\">[Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span> writing system, that publisher would be doing so because of some mixture of personal opinion\/ignorance, human tradition, and cultural pride, not because of any scriptural basis or direction from the organization. And, as we should know, the Bible and the organization DO have a lot to say about the importance of NOT doing things because of things like personal opinion\/ignorance, human tradition, and cultural pride. Such things can certainly cause unnecessary division among God\u2019s people, since our unity as God\u2019s people comes, not from together following <em>human<\/em> traditions and ways of doing things, but from together following direction from the Bible and from God\u2019s organization. Let us, then, follow the actual direction from the Bible and from God\u2019s organization so that we can build each other up spiritually, and so that we can really do the best we can to help praise and glorify Jehovah\u2014not any human culture\u2014and accomplish well the great work that he has given us to do in these last days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week\u2019s MEotW, is used, along with the expression to translate \u201cbeard\u201d in the Mandarin version of the 2023 Governing Body Update #8 video.
