    Have you ever noticed how you are always led to the questions you are allowed to ask?

    In the WT mags, there are always questions at the end of each article which are nothing more than turning around statements that are in the article. Very simple answers via regurgitation. Nothing that requires any thinking. Nothing outside the pre-worded box will be acceptable.

    Do people really accept this as having their questions answered?

    What odd questions do you have that have never been answered?

    Man, I'm sitting here and I can see the questions that go with your paragraph in my head.

    1) What are the best answers to the question about a paragraph?

    {Regurgitate what is in the paragraph}

    2) Should we think beyond the information that is provided?

    {no}

    When I was leaving the thing that struck me most was the double standard. Why were we supposed to accept the Watchtower as the voice of God, but if they were caught in a mistake; hey they were just imperfect people.

    When a jw talks to a householder they encourage them to question their beleifs,once they become a jw, don`t even think of questioning the society.

    Why do I have to give lip service to believing this crap to get salvation?

    1] How can a group of otherwise decent friendly people advocate a "good news" that is the mass genocide of billions of innocent people?

    2] How come that I used to accept it and did so for so long?

    In debating this is known as the False Choice.

    In a False Choice situation someone will present several choices and then tell you that these are your only choices and ask you to make a choice.

    The correct response is to make your own choice that is not given to you by your opponent.
