Consider the following scenario:
A technological breakthrough allows humans to establish language communication with dogs!
In one of our conversations our dog tells us that their hearing is so acute they can hear sounds we don't even know are there.
We acknowledge that this is true. Ultrasound is a fact of physics. We need machines to detect these sounds.
Next, the dog tells us that he can smell so many more things and more acutely we are vastly inferior in our sensory equipment.
We acknowledge this is true.
Our canine friend proceeds to inform us that dogs are waaaaay more loyal than humans are.
We agree.
Then, the dog tells us that Cats are alien beings from another planet that, throughout history, have been using Extra Sensory Perception to cause human conflict. Wars!
We blink.
We ask how this could possibly be true?
The dog calmly assures us that canines have a special sensory ability to detect these things just as they are able to do other things
humans fail to comprehend.
Should we--in such an unlikely scenario---trust Man's Best Friend?
Well, certainly.
However--consider further...
What if that dog assures us the entire feline population is about to unite their special ESP powers to cause humanity to destroy itself in a nuclear war.
We ask frantically, "What should we do?"
The dog pauses for dramatic effect and replies: " Kill them all."
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Think of the dog as the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.
They "claim" to see and "hear" what we cannot detect.
They claim to be trustworthy.
Then, what comes out of their collective mouth?
Enemies and Destruction and surveillance and control.
The thought came to my mind that LISTENING TO THE GOVERNING BODY is about as crazy as LISTENING TO A TALKING DOG!
And just as far-fetched!
Why?
If you accept a weird and unlikely premise you are half-way to accepting almost anything that proceeds from that starting point!
NEWBIES studying with JW's only THINK they are studying the BIBLE.
They aren't.
They are being prepared to accept a fictional aberration as though it were truth: Some specially chosen humans can "hear" Almighty God and are granted special powers.
Once you accept that foundation you're done for!
What follows next is a demand for ABSOLUTE LOYALTY.
You see, the Governing Body is "man's best friend."
