The fake precision fallacy involves making a claim with a mathematical precision that is impossible to obtain.
He does this on his site where he starts with an alleged and unsupported figure that the Watchtower has a file of some 23,000 child molesters and runs that figure up to the point where it becomes absolutely absurd.
His purpose is to persuade readers that Jehovah's Witnesses are a hot bed of child molestation. The problem is that he starts with at best very dubious sources and then he takes this data and treats it as if it is precise and factual.
It is not unusual for many of us to use a frivolous "false precision" in making statements. We throw around statements like 90% or three-quarters etc. to make our statements more dramatic. This is not what is going on with Bill Bowens web-page.
Bill Bowen is making a very serious claim attempting to back it up with data that is supposed to be accurate data but that could only be approximate at best or at least virtually impossible to determine with the accuracy he claims. Because he can't back up his claim with data that support the degree of precision he claims therefore his argument is erroneous.
Although many on this forum may be ignorant and like to praise Bill Bowen for what he is doing with his smear and lies you can be sure the Watchtower organization is not intimidated or impressed by such tactics.
Come on Bill. Produce some authentic and verifiable numbers. If you can't name your sources then they are a lie. If you can't produce the documents your claim is utterly false and malicious.
Bill Bowen isn't going to be disfellowshipped because he addresses the issue of child molestation. He is going to be disfellowshipped because he stoops to the lowest kind of smear methods to bully an organization he no longer wishes to associate with.
Some are being led to think that the Watchtower is silencing Bill Bowen. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone has the right to speak their mind. No-one has the right to be heard. Jehovah's witnesses are merely going to quit listening to Bill. He can speak all he wants. And guess what. Few will listen.
