Of course SoJ and Scoob think each other's posts are reasonable. If you're a Witness, the only logical and reasonable opinion is one that agrees with the collective mind. I know and remember it well, for I was there not that long ago.
What's unreasonable is that JW's automatically dismiss different opinions as wrong, irrational, or Satan-inspired.
When will these poor JW's realize that they can and should think on their own? Oh wait, that's bad because that's what Satan said to Eve in the garden of Eden. (Yet another reason I think the Bible promotes cults.) Unfortunately, the WTS prohibits any of its members from really listening to an opposing viewpoint and deciding for themselves which might be right. This conflicts with the Bible:
***
Rbi8 Proverbs 18:13 ***13 When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears [it], that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation.Consider how the WTS automatically labels all who disagree with the WTS as "apostates." Now consider this:
***
g00 6/22 p. 6 The Manipulation of Information ***Name-CallingSome people insult those who disagree with them by questioning character or motives instead of focusing on the facts. Name-calling slaps a negative, easy-to-remember label onto a person, a group, or an idea. The name-caller hopes that the label will stick. If people reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative label instead of weighing the evidence for themselves, the name-caller’s strategy has worked.
The WTS criticizes name-calling and blindly following beliefs when talking about non-JWs, but then turns around and requires its members to do those exact things!
