    Every few issues, the Society likes to have a dig at apostates. They never state what apostates believe or what their arguments are.

    The first study article, "Keep Yourselves In God's Love!" is about avoiding wrongdoing.

    Other Ways to Avoid Wrong Conduct

    para 17 "Follow Jehovah fully,' as did caleb of ancient Israel. Do what God requires of you,

    and never consider partaking of "the table of demons." Reject apostasy. Partake

    appreciatively of the spiritual food available only at Jehovah's table, and you will not be

    misled by false teachers or wicked spirit forces. Focus on spiritual things, such as Bible

    study, meeting attendance, and the field ministry. You are sure to be happy if you

    follow Jehovah fully and have plenty to do in the Lord's work.

    If you replace Jehovah with "us" and God with "we" the message is quite clear.

    You will be happy doing cult activities which will not give you the time to listen to apostates.

    Cult reasoning at its finest.

    Typical cult reasoning, but the majority of dubs will take it in, unfortunately.

    So we (JWD) are "the table of demons" . . .

    I like it.

    Yet how many active, loyal, devoted jws HERE do NOT reject apostacy; just by being here, "in association"?

    Ask yourselves: "Are you wise or stupid when it comes to seeking out and/ or associating with apostates"...{Feb. 15, 2005 wt.}, especially online, where it is safer?

    It would seem many truly reject that the WTBTS is "gods mouthpiece/ organization here on earth" by NOT rejecting apostates, which supposedly the gb wants you to believe comes from jehovah the wt god.

    WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REJECT THE FRAUD KNOWN AS WATCHTOWER BIBLE BOOK PUBLISHING CORP.? Instead you associate with us here, yet reject us offline, in the field, at our doors and in public when you come up against us. That's plainly hypocritical.

    I digress a this point though. My luscious homeade mac n' cheese is ready to eat!

    Now THAT'S spiritual food people!

    Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, do not question what we do and keep your ass busy so that you don't have time to research on the internet!

    Another bs article. The day that I confronted my family with my doubts (about a month or two ago; I just blurted everything out all at once) my elder dad said "You see? You see what happens when you don't spend enough time in FS, instead being on your computer?" Hahaha.

    Not for long, I don't know how long I can take this!

    Hopefully soon I'll be standing next to yall with a placard on like Danny Haszard.
