Whoever says that Jehovah's Witnesses do not investigate, challenge, and scrutinize their beliefs is either completely ignorant of Jehovah's
Witnesses, or purposely spreading prejudicial information.
Whoever says that Jehovah's Witnesses have the right to investigate, challenge, and scrutinize their beliefs is without a doubt completely ignorant of Jehovah's Witnesses and, perhaps unknowingly, spreading false information.
The problem is they're not even capable of considering the possibility that they're wrong in some specific and important way. What's interesting is the complete absence of any mention of the 'faithful and discreet slave' as THE source of all their 'Bible teachings' in this entire essay. This sounds like the sort of response a JW would give to the media, completely obscuring reality and omitting very important facts.
If this is sincere, as it likely is, it's just a case of the author being incapable of putting two and two together. They reference 'Logic' in the Watchtower Index, which I take it would be...a form of 'independent research'? Perhaps his idea of independent research is looking up a subject in the Watchtower Publications Index all by himself, without anyone telling him which subject to look up. Which is very different from looking up a quote from an outside source that is made in a Watchtower publication. Very different, indeed.
