  Fernando - Thanks but I don't know how responsive he'd be. He's on Facebook maybe once a week. And it took him 7 months to reply to the last conversation we had. He's a bit of a "go with the flow" guy even when he's drowning. I will try to call him this week. He might be off for Xmas.

  Again, thanks Yan. I just saw what you wrote... EDIT: If presented with the "8 Million JW's can't be wrong", you can say " Then 2 billion Muslims could absolutely NOT be wrong"?

  So I wrote him the following:

  You said that 8 million JW's can't be that stupid. Wouldn't the same logic be applied to this... "As of 2009, over 1.6 billion or about 23% of the world population are Muslims."- Wikipedia. These 1.6 billion Muslims could absolutely NOT be wrong? Right?

  He's been publicly reproved more than once and DF'd once. I would think he of all my friends would be open to thinking out side the BORG

  When he is referring to the “cabin”, its when I and all 7 “witness” friends were there a few years ago getting drunk and being stupid. I wanted to point out what a bunch of hypocrites he, and we all were. All of us were witnesses at the time and we were all cussing and drinking to the point of drunkenness and throwing up. We were there for 5 days carrying on this way. But he never had a problem with this hypocrisy.

  Argumentum ad populum-

  In logic, an argumentum ad populum (Latin for "appeal to the people") is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or most people believe it. In other words, the basic idea of the argument is: "If many believe so, it is so."

  wow thats great. I have never heard of it. thanks

  Yan - Yeah. I started my first letter picking apart every thing he wrote. Then I stopped and decided not to pick on him. The thing is we live 26 hours apart. If I could see and talk to him daily, I might be able to get him to think logically and for himself.
