As I'm sure we all know by now, the July 15, 2011 Watchtower branded "apostates" as "mentally diseased" (p. 16, para. 6).
But never fear, because--also according to the WTBTS--Jehovah will take that into account at Armageddon. The WT says so, so it must be true!
"With complete confidence in Jehovah’s righteousness, we need not worry about finding answers to questions like: ‘How will babies and small children be judged? Might it be that a large number of people will not yet have been reached with the good news when Armageddon arrives? What about the mentally ill? What about . . . ?’ Granted, at present we may not know how Jehovah will resolve these issues. He will do so, however, in a righteous and merciful way." - Sept 15, 2010 WT, p. 29
It's Jehovah's "righteous and merciful way", so we can have complete confidence in it.
Apostates rejoice - you get to use the insanity defense graciously provided to you by the "Faithful and Discreet Slave TM" . How happifying!
