An old Watchtower tactic used to avoid discussing uncomfortable facts was to question the "sincerity" and "motive" of those raising certain topics or asking certain questions. Try asking an elder about "1975" and instead of an answer you will get "why?" and "what is your reason for asking that?"
I doubt few of us can say we haven't used a certain amount of cunning in our discussions with JW's to help them think a bit outside the box and the motives we pretended to have were just clever disguises used to advance our agendas.
It is facinating that some can't see the ironies between our own behavior and that of JW's. The more the dialogue on this thread plays out, the more accurate this person's assessment of this board seems.
Whatever motive this individual had in posting what he did, it is the truth in what he wrote that is raising the suspicions of some. But why can't his questions or observations or whatever they were stand on their own merit?
I dislike being played by trolls myself, but if a troll raises valid points, they are still valid points. I think the topic can stand on its own without debating the motives or the individual that raised them. If this person is indeed a troll, would that make his observations any less valid?
