    About Mormons mostly. The problem with Witlesses is their eager ignorance and avoidance of critical thinking.

    This is one big advantage over other religions. Avoid education and reading anything outside the cult.

    Mormons are under the same edicts to avoid anti literature. Maybe because they are more "worldly" (patriotism, holidays, etc) they are more prone to examining and thinking critically.

    Mormons are much more pro education than jdubs. Which we all know are anti-education.

    I think the LDS encourage mainly a Mormon/LDS education for their adherents, Mormon/LDS Universities etc, but even so they are more likely to turn out people who can think a little more clearly than the average befogged and befuddled J.W.

    Those who are entrapped by the thinking of the religion or group they are part of are greatly aided if they do ever decide to investigate their position and beliefs by the availablity of the Internet.

    Many on here, me included, will testify to the speed with which the House of Cards that is falsehood and erroneous belief comes tumbling down with just a couple of clicks of the Mouse.
