Logic and Perception page 110-111 in how to teach your child (or jw) how to think
"Logic is the way scientists, or other people, have to present their ideas. Even if a scientific breakthrough came out through hunch or chance it must be presented as if it were the result of Logic. Otherwise ideas cannot be accepted."
1914 Ring a bell? WWI started that year therefore logically thats when the world would end...woops wait thats not logical cause it didnt end. That must mean that it was just the beginning of the time of the end. Right thats more logical. Moving on....
"Sometimes we need logic to take our perceptions further. Sometimes better perception reduces the need for logic.
Perception is how we see the world around us"
--the world is satans system, we are no part of the world.
"Logic is how we make the best use of perception."
--i should not celebrate Christmas because it is pagan and part of satans system, the bible says so based on what the WT states and GB says. That makes sense cause theres a lot of greedy people during the holidays.
"I once observed a cicada at close range. The cicada was making a loud noise but i could not tell how the noise was being made. No matter how closely i looked...i could not see any wings, wing cases, or legs moving in such a way as to make the noise. It was only later that i found that another cicada....was actually making the noise.
This example is typical of one of the most widespread errors in thinking. If we look at only part of the situation, our logic will give us a false answer. But how do we know there is more we shoukd be looking at? THAT is where perception comes in."
--the WT controls information and feeds followers and potentials with only their ideas and THEIR logic. Therefore they control and change when needed, the perception of its followers environments. Hence why "new light" is usually not a big problem for them. Theyve eliminated independent perception and logic.
