Considering in the WT eyes the holy spirit is like electricity -it shows how stupid that is.
In Scripture I believe the unforgiveable sin is rejection of the REAL SCRIPTURES TEACHER - THE HOLY SPIRIT
Remembering that the WATCH TOWER is NOT a GOOD Teacher -

I feel bad for the Apostle Paul. He did all that work to spread the good news and didn't even realise that his earlier persecution couldn't be forgiven. I guess that means that all his letters were apostate literature.

You have just destroyed a major doctrine of the Faithless Slave.

I think it's important to understand who/what the Holy Spirit really is in order to understand this.
The WTS is the blasphemer.
John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth.
John 16: 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.
The Holy Spirit deals with the INDIVIDUAL, as does Jesus. It is Blasphemy for an organization to usurp the Holy Spirit and make such declarations to speak lies in the name of the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 1: 14 The Spirit marks us as God's own.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
1 Peter 1: 22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

They intentionally keep it vague so that people will be afraid that they have done it, or that they will be doing it if they do a tiny bit less field circus because they have Spanish flu. The "unforgivable sin" is, in fact, seeing through all the illusions of the religion (or the Bible) and being able to expose the scams therein. Why do they come down so hard on that? Because they want people to be afraid to look at it as a scam or to think for themselves. Effectively, that keeps them enslaved to religion or to the Watchtower Society.
In reality, it's the ones that are pulling the scams that are sinning beyond forgiveness. Jehovah Himself is totally beyond forgiveness since He has repeatedly promised so many good things, deliberately withheld them, and then expected me to act as if He had delivered them anyways (and not just the "new" order; I am talking the likes of a decent love life that He has deliberately destroyed). And, to add to the offense, He has the nerve to blame Satan for His misdeeds. To add to that, He has been responsible for destruction of innocent nations because they did not serve Him.
Additionally, the Watchtower Society is guilty beyond forgiveness. Not only they presented the Bible as man's hope (itself not all that bad), but then they misrepresented it (which is the scam). Telling people that the Bible is the best way of life, and then altering the Bible and its interpretation to suit their own needs and wants, is sin against the Holy Spirit for sure. Not for the individuals at the bottom so much, but for those taking the lead in doing this. Of the Governing Body, only Raymond Franz has escaped this because he tried to right things. Most of the hounder-hounders and hounder-hounder-hounders are definitely past forgiveness (they are too ingrained in the lie and push it on people as they need to do ever more).
Even so, the "unforgivable sin" has been trumped up too much. To me, the only ones that are beyond forgiveness (besides Jehovah Himself) are those who have a lifetime of deception, force, and coercion. Those are the ones setting rules that make it impossible for society to move ahead, and refuse to make exceptions for critical cases. The leaders of the regulatory agencies responsible for our crappy health and education, the big drug and oil companies that are responsible for closing out all alternatives, the big food companies that put crap in our food just to make it addictive so they can sell more food (and drugs), government leaders that are bent on stamping out innovation, and religious leaders bent on guilting people out of money and freedom are the most reprehensible. Everyone else, even those drug dealing whores, should not be looked at as beyond forgiveness. (As long as they do not initiate force, coercion, or fraud, they would fit the definition of stupidity more than wickedness.)
