WTBTS loves to compare themselves to chefs in a kitchen, preparing "spiritual food". And we are to eat that food, without question. I was thinking about this last night. When purchasing physical food, we go to the store, look at the box/bag/can and determine whether the food looks like something we'd eat. We base that mostly on the visual appeal of the packaging. And most of us stop there. However, some of us look at the list of ingredients. And there we see things we don't recognize, like "Thiamin Chloride Hydrochloride", "Sodium Selenate", "Cyanocobalamin", and others like that. Most of us just shrug our shoulders and buy the product, take it home and eat it. No questions asked, thinking perhaps, "it wouldn't be in there if it was bad for us." This is just like WTBTS. Some of the "ingredients" are like this... we see it. We try to "pronounce" it/understand it, but when we can't, we just shrug our shoulders and "eat it" anyway, figuring that those who prepare it wouldn't put anything bad in there.
What happens, though, when a news story comes out that says that "Sodium Selenate" is bad for you, that it can cause this health condition or that health condition. (Disclaimer: I'm using Sodium Selenate as an example only... I have no idea what it is or if it is bad.) Would you take the news story at it's face value? Some people would. So, they go through their house, find all the products with "Sodium Selenate" and toss them in the trash. However, other people would take a more intelligent approach. They'd research what "Sodium Selenate" is. They'd find out its properties, and they'd look into the news stories claims about why it's supposedly bad.
As individuals purchasing physical food, we have the right and responsibility to make sure what we are eating is good for us. We can choose to ignore the ingredients. We can choose to remain uneducated about them to see if they are good for us or harmful in any way. If we do that with physical food, isn't it more important that we do that with "spiritual food"? Should we not have the right and responsibility to investigate what it is we are "eating"? And if we find some ingredient that's not good for us, should we not have the right to not eat it any more?
