    Actually, what stood out during Splane's reference to this Brother Smith who adjusted his view about the Pyramid, was the comment:

    "He let reason win out over emotion."

    Does that not mean that JW's, then, should start reasoning FOR THEMSELVES on a teaching or practice that does not make sense?

    The other thing during his droning on about types and antitypes, he poses the question

    "Who decides if the Word of God is silent?"

    We should imitate Albert Schroeder, who said "We need to exercise great care if it is not in Scripture."

    Same point then, when does an individual need to accept personal responsiblity for their beliefs and actions (or inactions - actually doing good to your neighbour, refusing blood, etc)?

    No. You have to read between the lines:

    "He let [the slave's] reason win out over [his own, inconsequential] emotion."
