I have the feeling it was Ray Franz who wrote it, but search as hard as I can, I can't find it!
There is a quote in the pile of books I have about the JWs that says something along the line of ... it's forgiveable that you may be sucked in to something you come to believe in, but there is no excuse for refusing to ask questions and discover the truth about something.
It was obviously applied to the blinkered view most JWs have about their organisation, therefore it is very hard to have sympathy for them being trapped in a high-control cult. They have the option to examine opposing views and put them to the test, but simply refuse to entertain such thoughts.
It was a succinct, punchy quote; it was probably Ray Franz, but could have been Jim Penton, Don Cameron or James Beverley. Anyone know it??
