Cedars, great expose of the hypocrisy of the WTBTS!
This audio excerpt is a perfect example of one of the most common logical fallacies used by the WT and its representatives: the ad hominem attack. They attack the character of their "enemy," in this case by "name-calling," while simultaneously avoiding addressing any of the real issues raised by the "enemy."
It is a common device used by propagandists. It's rhetorical misdirection that works like magic on anyone unaware of the technique.
Notice how anyone that disagrees with the WT/GB/FDS/Local Elders is branded as: prideful, bitter, defiant and false to the truth.
BTW, to
?feature=watch (the creator of this video) you missed "False Teachers!" ... lol -

The particular Awake! quoted in the video is from the second of three in a series of articles on propaganda. These articles should be on the “MUST READ” list of every JW and ex-JW:
g 6/22/2000:
- Propaganda Can Be Deadly – p. 3
- The Manipulation of Information – pp. 4-8
- Do Not Be a Victim of Propaganda! – pp. 9-11
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/lv/r1/lp-e/0/19162
If you take the time to read these articles you will come to have a good working knowledge of propaganda: what it is and the typical tools and techniques of propagandist.
Then, after you have read how well the Awake! writers understand the tools of propaganda and you see how well they use them, you will realize that there is only one reasonable, logical conclusion: the deceptions of the WTBTS Leaders are both willful and deliberate.

Excellent video, thanks Cedars. Well, as a Christian, of course I´m an apostate.
The society is themself apostates, turned away from the teachings of the Christ and Paul.
Jesus is mediator for only 144,000 literal, a pardise earth forever, a literal ressurection, a "Governing body" in the first century were Paul supposed to have been a member, the overlapping generation, Jesus returned invisibly in 1914 and "choosed" the bible students, women can´t be ms,
and other stuff is nothing but falsehood.In direct conflict with both Jesus and Pauls teachings. By the way, John 17:17 is refering to the Christ himself as Gods word.
In John 8:46-47 Jesus is in fact saying that HE and no-one or nothing else can make such a claim. These verses do NOT refere to the Bible as a whole as the Governing Body seems to think!
