Balogna = bullshit.
"In American English, baloney is also a colloquial expression for 'nonsense,'
or 'bullshit.'"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_sausage#Colloquial_usageHowever,
"In his essay On Bullshit (originally written in 1986, and published as a
monograph in 2005), philosopher Harry Frankfurt of Princeton University
characterizes bullshit as a form of falsehood distinct from lying. The liar,
Frankfurt holds, knows and cares about the truth, but deliberately sets out to
mislead instead of telling the truth. The "bullshitter", on the other hand,
does not care about the truth and is only seeking to impress."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_BullshitTherefore, the JWs leaders are neither people of sincere faith understood as
such nor BSers or full of balogna when defending their distinctive stances as
supported by the best evidence and reasoning. They're liars. Keeping that
focus prevents an expose from becoming bullshit.A better case can be made that the JWs leaders sell balogna with false
advertising:1.1 Hidden fees and surcharges
1.2 "Going out of business" sales
1.3 Misuse of the word "free"
2 Other deceptive methods
2.1 Manipulation of measurement units and standards
2.2 Fillers and over-sized packaging
2.3 Undefined terms
2.4 Incomplete comparison
2.5 Inconsistent comparison
2.6 Misleading illustrations
2.7 False coloring
2.8 Angel dusting
2.9 Bait-and-switch
2.10 Guarantee without a remedy specified
2.11 "No risk"
2.12 Undisclosed dishonest business practices
