andrekish: Thanks for list. To me they will be very, very useful. Can I refer you to a post I put on a little earlier on this topic by Vivianne and ask you opinion after using your list of skills above.
You're welcome. I'll look at your post.
recently, several threads have had some debate about logic, evidence, critical thinking and skepticism.
i wanted to write a post discussing those things, hopefully to clarify what those things are, why they are important and how to use those tools.
first, logic, at its core, is simply a method for how to reason validly, how to draw conclusions based on a premise.

Great thread!
Can't wait to really read it in detail. Until then, here is a short list of critical thinking skills that everyone should have in their toolkit:
so i was fooled by the witnesses.
what can i learn from that?
not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.
Viv: Complain that Viv is a big old meanie
I didn't know you were big or old! ... lol

VI: I can't believe this thread has gotten so long.
That's what I was gonna' say.
Vivian: This is why we need to teach critical thinking starting in kindergarten.
Amen to that, sista'
recently i have fallen ill with a serious case of chickenpox (shingles).
three weeks down, high fevers, and the blisters attacked mostly my scalp and face, but then also my whole upper body.
i looked horrid, truly like a mutant monster out of a nuclear disaster.
Chicken pox sucks, especially as an adult. I know, I got them when I was in college.
Glad you're better. Sorry you're getting yet another lesson that JWs are not what they really claim to be.
