    once in a while for some reason or another ill take a look at the official jw website...

    their latest magazine is interestingly talking about propaganda...

    the wt reads "propaganda tells you what to think" but "good educators present all sides of an issue & encourage discussion"

    "propagandists sift the facts...exploit useful ones...distort & twist facts...your emotions not logical thinkin abilities are their target"

    this article is under "do not be a victim to propaganda"

    what i find interesting is the way they want you to watch out for others & their lies but not to question the wtbs motives...

    when have they ever allowed you to ask questions? or encouraged discussion?

    Sweet, sweet irony. Once again hung by their own words, but it goes right over the 6 million heads that could actually benefit from it.

    I think this is from June 22, 2000 Awake!

    g00 6/22 p. 9 Do Not Be a Victim of Propaganda!

    "A fool will believe anything."?PROVERBS 14:15, TODAY?S ENGLISH VERSION.

    THERE is a difference?a big difference?between education and propaganda. Education shows you how to think. Propaganda tells you what to think. Good educators present all sides of an issue and encourage discussion. Propagandists relentlessly force you to hear their view and discourage discussion. Often their real motives are not apparent. They sift the facts, exploiting the useful ones and concealing the others. They also distort and twist facts, specializing in lies and half-truths. Your emotions, not your logical thinking abilities, are their target...

    Hmmmmmm?

    Are they telling the jdubs to start researching the Watchtower truths again? This could get interesting.
