You are getting to be as bad as You Know.
I don't see a problem with WW posting links to sites with pro-creation or pro-flood information, if he would also include links to sites with anti-creation and anti-flood info.
The reason is that he mentions that this information is for people who haven't made up their minds. People who haven't made up their minds need to see both sides of an argument, even if someone such as yourself knows for a fact that the other side of the argument is flawed or just wrong.
One thing I've learned from being a Witness is that it's important to look at more than one side of every issue in order to find the truth, as I'm sure you have as well. Links to TalkOrigins and other anti-creationist sites are always posted on this board. And even though you or I might be convinced that the information on that site is the truth, isn't it good for people who haven't made up their minds to still look at both sides of the issue? Granted, TalkOrigins contains links to Creationist sites, and that's a big mark in favor of it's honesty.
But I don't see anything wrong with occasional posts with links to information that is pro-creationist or pro-flood. But what I think WW should do, if this is really for those who haven't made up their minds, is provide links or at least reccomend that the person check out the other side of the story too.
Anybody who
hasn't made up their minds, but is honest, will eventually find the truth, and will have gotten both sides of the issue. Those who are just looking for information to justify their already pre-conceived religious notions aren't
going to accept anti-flood arguments no matter what anyway so there isn't really much anyone can do for them.
