I watched the Stephen Lett video @ jw.org
The first minutes he shows himself as a nice chap. Uncle Stephen knows what's best for you.
And then I see the extreme fundamentalist he is, talking short about apostates. Angry eyes!!
He is using a indoctrination technique: first he say some things about apostates that are common knowledge for the average JW: apostate allert! And then he is telling something new without any foundation: the story's about child abuse in the organization are lies from apostates.
If it's something like a weather talk, he is changing subject directly after that.
It's dropped between the ears of the listener, if he is awake, is thinking "I heard something strange, but can't figure out what exactly". The inner brain keeps going on to find out, in a circle. Pure indoctrination!
It is unbelievable that a religion's leader makes a remark like this, without any explanation.
Thanks Stephen Lett for making things clear.
