It is written in code. You need to apply a "substitution algorithm".
Once you do that, it all makes perfect sense.
There are 2 primary substitutions:
1) Whenever you read "the Bible" in an article, substitute in "the Watchtower"
2) Whenever you read "Jehovah", substitute in "the Governing Body".
Try it! You'll get the real message they are trying to convey.
Any other substitution rules that you have encountered?
One thing I have observed about 95% of the time. Any time they use the term "[rule] is not [something negative], you can strike the word "not" and it will be closer to the truth.
Also, about 95% of the time, when they tell you the benefits of a course of action, doing the opposite course will yield better results.
:Any other substitution rules that you have encountered?
Lots.
"Encouraging" - bullying
"Your Christian Conscience" - WT dogma
"Appreciate" - like it or get out
"Loving Provision" - WT duties that make you miserable
"Christian Freedom" - do this or else
"Independent Thinking" - thinking, period. ALL thinking it independent. That is why it is called "thinking."
"No independent thinking" - no thinking, period.
There's more:
Farkel
"The World" - normal people.
"pure language" - utter bullcrap.
"kingdom hall" - spiritual gas chamber.
This is fun!

Christians = Active JWs
grace = undeserved kindness
( I didn't know what "grace" was until I quit being a JW. Someone at work had to explain it to me. I found it odd that I had never heard it mentioned at the KH. So I compared scriptures from the NWT to a couple different bibles I had a home and learned that when the word "grace" was used in other bibles, it was replaced in the NWT by "undeserved kindness").
LOL
yield or be yielding = mindless obedience
1879, 1914, 1919, 1935 = unscriptural numerology or tomorrow's lottery numbers
voice of strangers = anyone who disagrees with WT dogma
evidently = without evidence please accept whatever follows
Mature Christians = good lil dubbies
Some Christians = bad lil dubbies but not bad enough to get DF'd
"Certainly we'd want to follow the example of Christ" - Follow what the WT says about Christ
"Certainly" = WE SAY SO!!!!
"Loving Sheperd" = sin sniffing hounder
