one dictionary defines naive as;generally speaking,to be naive means you do not think enough.people who are "naive" tend to beleive in whatever they are told,without questioning whether it is right or wrong.i think this defines jw because they accept whatever the group of 7 tells them.ex.the several definations of a generation.or the end is near see wt 2000 etc.. these people are naive,because they believe that people like himmler regret sending all jews to the gas chamber( quote from internet).

I would say, in their defence, they are under strong mind control and bombarded with logical fallacies, propaganda techniques and all.
Guilt, fear, phobia, familial attachment...they are under heavy duty fire from the watchtower's propaganda machine.
It isn't all about being naive as such but about how controlled their minds are.
Even thinking people fall foul of con tricks.
"as we might expect, over the years jehovah has helped the faithful and discreet slave to become steadily more discreet.

i guess they just admitted their self title as the discreet slave was not discreet.
Christians that we must be impartial in rendering aid to those in need, especially in a spiritual sense.
Especially! Interesting. NOT!
In other words give no money to those in need. give them a doomsday pamphlet and all the money that would actually do some good in the world goes to the Governing Body to perpetuate their paedophile shielding.
an athist made this casual statememt on another thread:.
this would suggest to me that there are at least some atheists that do have consistant beliefs.. .
as an atheist, how could he possibly trust the reason that suggests this to himself?
What scientists are saying is that atheists deep down believe in order and reason which are not the product of chance and chaos, but are consistent with being made in the image of God. In other words, you need to borrow certain things from the Christian worldview in order to struggle against it.
That sounds more like that strange man Ray Comfort spouting his delusionary propaganda. How about we turn that around: 'you need to borrow certain things from the atheist worldview in order to struggle against it.'
In other words, Atheists Don't Exist.
Then neither do Limey's comments.
It annoys me that fundies try to create an animosity toward anyone that doesn't believe in their version of magic and fairy tales.
christians, should i attend kingdom hall meetings to discreetly "preach" to jws about the real jesus and the lies of the watchtower?.
.
i plan to go undercover and plant seeds into them.. .
Crytojesus - I am saddened by your sanctimonious tone to some of those that do not share your view ie Cantleave and Cofty. I have seen this so often with 'believers' who take the high ground and look down upon those that do not believe in any God....is he Zeus, Apollo, Mithras, Allah or whatever?
Your stance resembles that of the JWs that call people like myself an apostate. You use the term disgruntled. Have you considered that some ARE disgruntled with christians pushing their self serving and dangerous delusions onto other people? The term disgruntled just gives fundies the licence to validate their own delusions further. It is what I would call loading the language. It also gives you licence to switch off and ignore any further reasoning that might damage your confirmation bias.
Sorry, I have been lurking but this arrogant stance forced me to comment.
Okay. You say Jesus or whomsoever manifested to you. How?
