It is very frustrating for JWs to post on H20. They are so use to their little, pet phrases and jargon having instantaneous understanding and agreement that when confronted by individuals who know the ropes and are immune to their conversation zappers, JWs very quickly become confused and upset. They are frozen in a controlled atmosphere and when confronted by anything that does not conform to their pre-determined view of the cosmos they soon become lost in a fog of WTS doctrine. This all goes to prove that witnesses merely parrot what they are taught and when these magical little phrases don't produce the expected result--total compliance--they can't seem to even carry on a normal conversation much less a debate. About all they can do is mumble and condemn in their ususal arrogant fashion because they believe in the WTS and when the WTS can't answer criticisms it merely mumbles and condemns. So what do we have here? An organization that none of its leaders can defend and an organization that none of its followers can defend, so they just sell books and look for people that won't argue with them. What else can they do?
