23:1-3

Jehovah’s warning to witnesses and judges in legal cases not to be swayed by the crowd to give false testimony or render a perverted judgment also applies to other areas of life. Christians are under constant pressure to conform to this world’s ungodly thinking and conduct.​—Ro 12:2.

Why is it unwise to follow after the crowd when

• hearing unsubstantiated rumors or gossip?

• choosing clothing, hairstyles, or entertainment?

• thinking about and dealing with people of a different race, culture, or economic standing?
