It is exactly the experience I had. I agree with you on this. The controlling, abusing , if you will of peoples conciences is the issue. My mom, a life long JW, actually had a reply to the borean text, and Im sure its the way most witnesses think. The society thinks its the truth, period. To think otherwise, well, it cant. So, those boreans were not examining daily to find out if what they were hearing was true or false, but to re affirm what they were hearing was true. See the point? They tell you to do research if you have doubts. Of course, they mean research until you " see " that they are right. Dont research independent of them, or with the help of any other opinion.Any other outcome of the research must mean you arnt getting it, or are a rebel, or being mislead. All research is to be done from thier point of view, with their point of view the only possible God pleasing outcome. Its really nutty. Even a scripture like this, which shows that people should be careful and examine what they are told, some how comes out to mean that any one who examines will come to agree with them.
