Fallacy

The fallacy I chose for this blog post is complex questions or maybe a little better know as loaded questions. These questions are "loaded" to where whatever the person answers it is either self-incriminating or meant to provoke some unwanted response from the person. I feel like you would definitely see this in a courtroom amongst lawyers trying to manipulate their witnesses into admitting something they don't want to admit. However, I also feel like to an extent, sometimes missionaries also use these types of questions. There is a big difference between conversion and convincing and that applies to everything, not just the Gospel. Sometimes as  missionaries, we become very good at talking and saying the right things and convincing people of the Gospel instead of helping them become converted. Loaded or complex questions are one of the greatest tools in the convincing process and it is seen not only in courtrooms, but in the mission field, at home from our parents, and everywhere. I think loaded questions can be a good thing, but as discussed in class, it just depends on the intentions of the person using them.
