    "...very often the person who is deceived or deluded tends to hold on to his belief in spite of strong evidence proving otherwise. Perhaps he gets so emotionally attached to his belief that he simply shuts his eyes and closes his ears to any evidence that might challenge it."

    An extra week of everlasting life goes to the first person who can guess the source of this quote.

    I believe it's from one of the latest Craptower or Asleep! magazines isn't it?

    Well, I guess Mary gets to spend an extra week petting lions with the Cultists!

    And, I guess I'm about a month behind on food at the "proper time" according to the link from wannabefree.

    My wife and I hadn't been to a meeting for a few weeks and today we went and got a bunch of the latest WT paper goods to help fill our recycling bin.

    I think this quote could possibly prove very handy to help show an on-the-fence JW that even The Watchtower says it's good to look at all the evidence.

    It could have been me responding to Perry or Shelby on these threads.

    If only JWs actually read the magazines. Wiser words were never printed in them.
