WT 4-15-60--re: relevance of false beliefs
by sd-7 inpeople will go to any church, admits a honolulu clergyman, without suspicion as to false doctrine.
thus in this age of deception and falsehood millions of persons are uncritical even when it comes to the vital sphere of religious beliefs; they accept what they hear without investigation, even though doctrines of the various churches conflict with one another.. .
an educator recently pointed out why people are not taught to test their beliefs and why people often accept even implausible doctrines.

Straw man in last week's WT
by sd-7 ini couldn't help noticing the wt study article this weekend, which was about cultivating love that never fails.
the correct spelling of it should have been cultivate, by the way.. the straw man of the love that the world shows was presented first--that people in the world know only romantic love, love of money, love of themselves, and love of pleasures.
this was contrasted with the 'love' that jws show, which consists of obedience to god's commandments.
