WT indoctrination and propoganda literature is designed to bypass critical thinking, logic and reasoning ability and it does so very effectively.
@blondie,
Watchtower purposely uses the word almost exclusively with first meaning, never acknowledging that 'adverse and disapproving judgments' may actually be justified. As a result their followers tend to think of 'critical thinking' as 'being negative towards something just because you desire to bash it'. It's cult speak in perfection.
@stuckinarut,
That's a great way of going around this issue!
