In the videos where a scripture is cited and they show the written verse. After the verse is read, the graphics shows the cover of the book closing on the verse as though seen from the edge of the book. Then the closed book flips up onto its' end and identifies the source of the verse as (drumroll, please) JW.Org! NOT the Bible!
It seems subliminal. As though JW.Org is now the Word of God.
If I were a religious man, I would think that this was blasphemous. Thank God I'm not!
Hardly a new idea.
For example, April 15, 2008 Watchtower, Page 7:
Elders do not go beyond the things that are written in the Bible. And by extension, they do not go beyond the Bible-based counsel written in the publications of the faithful and discreet slave.
It's like the GB gave God the right words to say..
There's a jworg video ( I think 2015) where one of the shepherds to whom the angels announced Jesus birth, becomes the narrator for the whole two part video - essentially the story of Jesus life and ministry. In it he talks about his doubts that Jesus is the messiah, despite seeing the angels with his own eyes as a young Shephard boy. On two occasions he talks about how you can know the truth or whether Christianity is the true faith. The first time he talks about how he knew Jesus is the Christ...the truth. The second time he talks about how he can know Jehovahs Witnesses are the truth.
Just like you bible quote example they sneakily slip it in as though a first century shepjhard would know what Jehovahs Witnesses are, let alone that they are the one true faith. Subliminal messages.
That's how brainwashing works by implanted an enforcing you must obey and be loyal to the leaders ..... or else your being evil, unfaithful and unloyal to god.
With the JWS they add to that suggestion that your going to suffer dire consequences if you don't !
Religion is a vehicle to empower men to their own means and sustenance.
