Clearly, undeniably, without doubt ... is there a term for introducing a thought in such a way.
by jwfacts inwatchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".
for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.
"jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.

WEASEL WORDS:
"Weasel words are designed to give the appearance of truth whilst protecting the speaker from attack or legal redress. They are very common in advertising and marketing, where the goal is to attract people rather than ask them to think deeply about something." - Changing Minds.com

Rudofl Steiner
by Brokeback Watchtower inrudolf steiner 1861-1925, developed eurythmy a performance art.
he wrote hundreds of books, a brilliant person in many fields from austria(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/rudolf_steiner).. steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach.
he based his epistemology on johann wolfgang goethe's world view, in which "thinking… is no more and no less an organ of perception than the eye or ear.

Rudolph Steiner was a 'white supremacist' of the highest order and believed that the German people were superior to other races. Jiddu Krishnamurti was the smartest one (in my opinion) that broke away from the original Theosophical movement and the influence of H.P. Blavatsky and Annie Besant.
"I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever , by any religion, by any sect........the moment you follow someone, you cease to follow Truth."- Jiddu Krishnamurti
"Thought is so cunning, so clever, that it distorts everything for its own convenience." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

How many Jehovah's Witnesses does it take to change a 'new light' bulb?
It depends on how many on the Governing Body vote for it.

Did you learn how to debate in school (or elsewhere)?
by compound complex inlast night i was taking another look at the term "dialectics":.
the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions: discussion; debate; logical reasoning; etc.. the dialectical method is, at base, a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned arguments.. while i intend to do further research on my own, what is your own experience regarding preparation for debate, the do's and don'ts, maintaining your cool, .
i ask, in part, because i observe that some online debaters present facts and figures and use sound reasoning while maintaining their decorum; many do not.. thank you..

I took some debating classes in Jr. High School. This course is excellent in learning to hone your skills and teaching yourself to reach logical conclusions. I have it in my personal library and highly recommend it.

What the 'Hell' does Biblically drunk mean? I bet if every Elder in the world had to blow into one of these on meeting nights or before an Elders meeting, the results would shock the rank and file.

The 'brave new world' of "Big Data" is here! Jehovah needs cash and his henchmen, the Governing Body, are now using 'predictive analytics' and 'big data' to follow your every move. They used these tools to determine how, when and where to set up the congregations shuffle and Kingdom Hall selloff. Now they will use these same tools and the corresponding data base to 'dip into your wallet' whenever necessary.
