Each of us has a choice - do we abdicate our powers of reason to someone else and allow them to process 'the data' draw the conclusions, put out a message and influence our decision making or do we work the data through our own minds and draw our own conclusions?
Freedom means we draw our own conclusions.
They may be wrong, and we may suffer the consequences, but at least we are not allowing someone else to determine what is right or wrong for us.
WT quote. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not." Watchtower 2013 Nov 15 p.20
