Τα βιβλία και τα φυλλάδια των Μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά αποτελούνται από ένα συνοθύλευμα σοφιστειών, παράλογων λογικώς ακροβατισμών, φανταστικών υποθετικών συλλήψεων, τα οποία πάσχουν από τα λογικά σφάλματα της λήψεως του ζητουμένου και της προκρουστείου κλίνης.

begging the question
--------------------
In logic, begging the question (also called petitio principii) has traditionally described a type of logical fallacy (classified as a material fallacy in the Aristotelian System) in which the proposition to be proved is assumed implicitly or explicitly in one of the premises. Begging the question is related to the fallacy known as circular argument, circulus in probando, vicious circle or circular reasoning (φαύλος κύκλος, διάλληλος κύκλος, διάλληλος τρόπος). As a concept in logic the first known definition in the West is by the Greek philosopher Aristotle around 350 B.C., in his book Prior Analytics.

The term itself was translated into English from Latin in the 16th century. The Latin version, Petitio Principii (petitio: petition, request; principii, genitive of principium: beginning, basis, premise of an argument), literally means \"a request for the beginning or premise.\" That is, the premise depends on the truth of the very matter in question.
The Latin phrase comes the Greek “το εν αρχή αιτείσθαι» in Aristole\'s Prior Analytics II xvi.
