How do you know the post is great if you didn't read it?

How do you know the medical advice in it is incorrect if you didn't even 
read past the first two lines? You couldn't have gotten it from the 
title either.
And with regard to the medical qualifications of the WTBS, last time I 
checked they had none and never had any. But I guess the inspired word 
of God goes a long way.

And how did you get to the last conclusion if you didn't even read the 
post? Are you a Watchtowerite? Were you lying when you said you didn't 
read past the first 2 lines?
