If you belong to a religion other than JWs you should use your powers of independent thinking to leave that religion and join JWs. Then, since you have found The Truth you should turn off the independent thinking and just accept what they feed you.

Hahahah.....so you must independently look for the truth...oh here's something called "The Truth" so stop looking & thinking now....
This is so bad, I almost feel that it is a joke...but sadly it probably isn't.

Because these quotes say we must reject 'independent thinking' it is NOT referring to' independent research' or 'independent reasoning.'"
How is Independent Thinking different from Independent Reasoning?
Don't worry. I don't expect an answer. That would require thought.

What do JWs do when the WT publications don't provide the research for them to answer their question? I have challenged JWs to look up in the publications the reason why it is wrong for Jews to accept blood transfusions. None have come back with an answer, as the publications have never even mentioned one time the public facts that Jews accept blood transfusions, let alone try to prove that the Jews are wrong. An analysis of the reasons why Jews have decided that blood transfusions don't violate any of their religious laws would blow the entire WT no-blood dogma right out of the water. This can't be allowed to happen in a KH.

" Because these qoutes say we must reject " independant thinking " It is NOT reffering to ' independant research '___Mislead JW Apologist
Jehovah's Witnesses are not allowed to " SEEK " the Kingdom through " Independent Research " because it leads to " Independant thinking "
Which Jehovah's Witnesses must reject as said by the apologist quoted above
I don't know why these Apologist even try to defend the WTS

"The lack of education among them makes it an association of the simple minded, or the extremely ignorant who think they have been 'educated' by the Awake & Watchtower magazine and the study books."
Having the least amount of education then just about any other religion (pew survey USA) has created a big problem for the WT. It's all part of the failure trail they are on.

Hello there Giordano
Bein' educated is part of it, the other part is a common sense issue
Animals react by their natural instincs because they lack the ability to reason out things
Humans on the other hand are educated through out thier life on how to reason things out
No matter what thier education level
The WTS stunts the reasoning skill of the sheep by tellin them what to say and what to think instead
of bein' able to learn things for themselves. To see if what the WTS actually teach goes against God
Such as their past false prophecies
One of their greatest examples of this is
" Reasoning from the Scriptures book " and also on the back of their Kingdom Ministry
Which gives parroted examples for the Witness to follow such as:
" If someone says_______"
" You might reply : "
" Or you could say : "
" Then perhaps add : "
This shoes total mind control of the sheep. And proves that they are not incouraged to
Research or reason on their own Independently
Apologist please feel free to offer another view this is not an attack
but an open discussion

More proof that their " Research " and " Reasoning " Is not from independent thinkers, but from the Puppet Masters in Brooklyn
