by minimus inone of the major reasons people get attracted to the jw's is because of their new found "hope".
if you are disillusioned or are no longer a jw , do you feel that you still have hope?
or are you unsure, now, about alot of things?

Rhetoric used by wbts.
by Blueblades inone-sided presentations,where contrary evidence is suppressed or ignored.
pontificating, on the basis of claimed superior wisdom or superior authority.provincialism,appealing to the tendency to identify closely with the thinking ,belief ,prejudices,bias,or ignorance of a particular group,and to see things largely from the standpoint of the in-group verses the out-group.it often results in a false conception of the importance and moral quality of ones own group....in its extreme form ,the fallacy of loyalty in the face of great contrary evidence because of provincial loyalty.strawman,misrepresentation of opposing auguments,as by the use of a strawman in the place of the real point at issue.red herring,dragging a red herring over the trail of the augment,that is,bring in some point that is not relevant to the discussion and which only serves to divert ones attention from the weakness in the argument.smokescreen,example:what is the real issue!
if it is not the real issue then it is a smokescreen.poisoning the well,tactic in which an effort is made to discredit the source so as to make it appear that any evidence or argument from that souce is not worthy of serious consideration.false dilemma.creation of a false dilemma which makes it appear that there are only two choices,the one being argued for and another that is usually undesirable---when in fact there may be several choices, several alternatives.circular reasoning , in which an unproven premise is used at the starting point of an argument that proceeds to build on the premise rather than on established facts.ad hominen-(meaning to the man) this consists of an attack on the person instead of on his argument.ad-hominen is the wbts favorite toward anyone who thinks or voices otherwise against them.finally there are the methods of augumentations used by the wbts, honest-us.
