Terry: It's easy to see 'crazy' in the "other" folks religion, but so difficult to see it in our own. I wonder why that is?
No. It's called cognitive dissonance, a well known and thoroughly documented psychological phenomenon.
It's one of the reasons that many Witnesses remain Witnesses in spite of the abundant evidence that it is a destructive, high-control, authoritarian cult run by clueless hypocrites and liars.
