    abiather,

    I have re read your OP twice now in an attempt to understand precisely what you are trying to say. I dont like to argue against someones idea if I am not sure I fully comprehend it in the first place.

    Are you talking about intuitive wisdom? A way of sensing something to be right without external "proofs" as it were?

    I see you say that you use the word were  with the Jws as in past tense. You state that what caused you to become alert to their arrogance and stubborness was your internal sensing of such traits on their part.

    In your world view "specialty of truth is always revealed at the right moment".

    I can see a place for that statement.

    The Mona Lisa has never been duplicated. It came in to being when it did and it just "is". Many great things came about at just the right time, theres no need for me to restate the obvious.

    It sounds like you are trying to approach this tangled religious experience we have all had from an intuitive and perhaps philosophical way.

    Your opinion is as good as any because the ground has barely been broken on what it means to  understand fully all of the human experience.   

    Your next to the next to the last sentence ( ) is your perfect ending sentence actually

    "Its everyones experience"  

    There was this guy once and he said....

    "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful 
      servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has 
      forgotten the gift."  - Albert Einstein

    Intuition or a' hunch ' may well prove to be wrong, whereas rationality may solve the issue.

    @Abiathar: "Truth by definition is that which remains forever, that which never changes, hence by its very nature is self-evident--is in no need to be endorsed by Faithful and Discreet Slave nor by anyone else (this is what I meant by external agency)"

    WTF kind of dictionary are you using? From Merriam Webster online:

    truth : the real facts about something : the things that are true; the quality or state of being true; a statement or idea that is true or accepted as true

    a (1) :  the state of being the case :  fact (2) :  the body of real things, events, and facts :  actuality (3) often capitalized :  a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality

    b :  a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as true <truths of thermodynamics>

    c :  the body of true statements and propositions

    There are no absolute Truths, so Truth does change.

    "Truth" is what we know it to be according to the information we have at our disposal at that moment in time.

    If that information changes, then our "truth" can change too!

    The WTS creates its own self supporting version of truth by exploiting people's ignorance as well emotions with emphasis on emotions. 

    The truth that JWS receive from the WTS. is done so with unbinding love.

    A matter of fact the truth the WTs transcends is actually going to save lives one day.

    That truth offered from this organization is actually coming through by God  ( Jehovah)  himself, so you better well listen to it and be in agreement  ........ or something terrible could happen to you.  ???    

    So you wonder why JWs are so self absorbed and arrogant ??
