Dr. Phil...if I may...calls this kind of battling to be RIGHT "right fighters". It doesnt MATTER if they are actually correct, they will defend to the death their stand. And they have built into the system all the loop holes, circular reasoning, misquotes and red herrings they need to always lead you back to their "rightness" in all situations.
I noticed this looking back at my own initial indoctrination process...they were teaching me that when there was an increase in the number of witnesses "jehovah was blessing the work" and when there was a decrease in witnesses "it has been prophesied that there would be a cooing off and a separation of the wheat and the weeds...." so either way...they were covered.
