What reading level is Messages From the Watch Tower book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
strive no more to bring from ancient days What feelings, motives or what laws were theirs, They will not fit our ways, our minds, our times All these have changed, and like their change too well.
We decorate ourselves with cross and chain, And, when a passing stranger labels them The signs of pain and bondage, we but smile! Yet, let the lighter hand of cunning spite But lay its finger-tip upon our heads And try to clasp the collar round our necks, Or let the iron jaws of law but close Unwontedl...y, the added weight, the press, Becomes at once too grievous to be borne, So much we love our own free life and will.
Draft laws, frame statutes they re but forms; The Spirit of the Age glides ever on, And gives small heed to petty things likes these. It leaves, upon its old, forsaken track, Some line upon a stone, some solemn word, Like ancient Mede and Persian law for strength, And only laughs when trembling fingers point To where, unheeded in the dust, it lies. At times it toys in wanton, mocking mood, With codes and tables, like a child at play, Turns this for that, proclaims the last as first, And daringly does wrong so harm may come, To test the anger of the Unseen Powers.
