Jerome over
on discuss the truth has picked up on something interesting.
In the July
watchtower on page 28 of the article entitled “winning the battle for your mind”
the following statement is made “Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason
things out well. Why? Because propaganda is likely to be most effective, says
one source, if people… are discouraged from thinking critically.”
The quote comes from a
book entitled: “Media and Society In the Twentieth Century: A Historical
Introduction By Lyn Gorman, David McLean" The watchtower however, chose
to leave out a portion of the quote.
The full quote is "Therefore,
it is likely to be most effective if people do not have access to
multiple sources of information and if they are discouraged from thinking
critically.
The following
sentence which the watchtower also decided was best not to include states,
“Michael Balfour has suggested that the "best touchstone for
distinguishing propaganda from science is whether a plurality of sources of
information and of interpretations is being discouraged or fostered."
