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.

Quality Thinking - Warning: Long Post Ahead
by Viviane inrecently, 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:
- Analyzing for assumptions
- Analyzing evidence
- Analyzing arguments (the validity of statements)
- Asking effective questions
- Classifying
- Comparing and contrasting
- Deductive reasoning
- Evaluating sources (for reliability and bias)
- Finding causes
- Inductive reasoning (generalizing)
- Inferring
- Organizing information
- Predicting (scientific predictions, not astrology or palm reading, in case you were wondering)
- Problem solving
- Reasoning by analogy
- Recognizing patterns
- Synthesizing
- Understanding models

So, I became very ill ... what did my loving brothers do?
by EdenOne inrecently 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.

It's odd that the Audience Wide Shot shows a pretty empty house.
