It's somewhat futile to clobber the Watchtower Society's missionaries in a
debate because even when they're bested scripture for scripture, they won't
give up on the Governing Body. The average JW's unflinching premise is that
the their top-rung leaders are right even when they appear to be totally
wrong. They are thoroughly convinced that their theologians are the voice of
God, while our voices are regarded as no more valid than that of a squeaky
little gerbil.
NOTE: On June 28, 2024, The US Supreme Court overturned a long held
opinion so-called the Chevron Deference Doctrine, which was basically an
argument from authority, i.e. a logical fallacy which supposes that
someone's position, or their credential, makes their views more important
and/or more likely to be correct than the views of lesser folks.
In a nutshell; just because someone is high up on the "expert" totem pole
does not make them eo ipso right.
