For some time I have been increasingly bemused at the often comical evasiveness of the JWs here in the forum. I can never understand why they won't answer direct questions and I find myself having to become almost legalistic in my approach to enquiry in order to get a straight answer - if one is forthcoming at all.
Today I was reading about Theocratic War Strategy; which although I'm still researching, seems to be a secret approach that the JWs have for avoiding answering questions and even lying if it is seen as protecting the Watchtower organisation.
There is actually a ton of stuff on the net but I'm looking for some clarity - does anyone know more about this? Perhaps the JWs here can cast some truth on the matter?

Originally posted by divegeesterImagine if some residents of the Warsaw ghetto were questioned by the SS concerning hidden stores of weapons. Would we expect falsehood, evasions, half-truths? Would we approve of it? Would the Nazis? I believe people who adopt the TWS see themselves in this light, whoever they (or we) are.

Further, both sides would believe the other side is following the TWS, and in this example, would be right.
In our case, both sides may believe some of the folks on the other side who they are engaging, are unwitting, deceived minions, engaged in the TWS while believing the lies they are taught to tell. Or they may consider them evil in themselves.
This sets things up for a human tragedy.

Originally posted by divegeesterWhy not let it be what it is, JW unable to answer direct questions... doesn't the pestering get old for you? Personally I think enough has been said about the JW organization and the back and forth about it in recent weeks. But that is just me, arguments ensue and it becomes fruitless.

As long as I've been here and they've been here it has not stopped.
I try not to take it personally but they make it their quest to disrupt anything we may want to discuss as adults and as someone who would like to see the Bible's hopes for the future for humans and our planet that God has promissed.
I know they are not interested in that prospect at all but others may be and that's why I am here which is to share that info.
I guess they do not want others to hear of that hope.
