I think it's a "Wait for it" moment.

There are so many "shortcut keys" that do stuff no one wants and most people hate, like the one(s) I just hit that posted my topic before I even started to type it! But that is another topic.
Let me try again:
Years ago my mother was making her latest argument why the WTS was the true religion. She said
Mom: "It is obvious we have the Truth. There are six millions (yes, she said "millions") of us on the earth today."
Me: "So those millions of JWs is your evidence that your religion is the true one?"
Mom: "Of course. It's obvious. Look at how blessed we've been by Jehovah."
Me: "Well, then why didn't Jehovah destroy Noah and his family and leave the other millions and millions of people alive who believed differently than Noah did? Wasn't that proof that those other 8 guys were all wrong, then?"
Mom:

Nice reversal on the old argumentum ad populum!
And even so, it means the Muslims and the Catholics are closer to the truth, as there are much more of them than the JWs...

Logic is not a requirement to be a jw.

JW's are taught to think in circles. They have to be big enough to be noticed, but small enough to be persecuted.
Your mom has a low logic threshold.
