Have they listen to criticism and warnings they got for decade's now, they wouldn't be in this mess. They decided to dig themselves deeper in. Think titanic (org) gonna hit the iceberg soon.

Nobody can poison us NOT to believe that the sun or the moon Exists. If that is so, why does an argument against God or the WT so powerful and devastates faith?
Bingo!
There are thousands of people who believe the earth is flat and they have written hundreds, thousands, who knows maybe millions of pages of "evidence" as well as websites, videos, etc.
I can read their literature for hours, days, years on end and it won't change my certainty about the shape of the earth.
If someone's faith is so rickety, so tenuous, so utterly fragile, that even 15 minutes exposure to a contrary idea is enough to destroy it, what does that say about the viability of whatever that person has faith in?

David Splane identifies the key concern of Wallkill or is it Warwick. when in the outset he identifies the bull's eye of "Satan's attack" as the "structure of Jehovah's organisation"
"Satan", being only the first of the straw men situations he sets up to restrict the scope of the arguments.
Not a peep about the doctrinal failures, expect a brief reference to "Noah's Ark" not the ~ 10 km of additional water present ~ 2021 years before Christ , covering Everest.
On the report of children dying, he failed to mention that wt itself published a special issue about young ones that lost their lives because of the blood issue.
DS: " This is war" declaring it officially. reminds me, how in the 1930, 40s in Europe, heavy penalties were meted out to anybody listening to BBC, so as to find an alternative story. Ideally, wt wants all jws to have only 'volksempfängers', I guess; Mercifully Splane did not threaten dissidents with death at Armageddon or shunning now. finally
appeal to emotions,
Good text about wisdom in walking with the wise ones though:
making you wise to the wiles of wt speakers, wise to the errors, hopelessness inherent in the ever changing wt teachings, the unfulfilled, unfulfillable wt promises.

And what Splane really hates about JWs apostates is that many times they tell the truth about the Org and its doctrines which have killed thousands.

rm: right, like the Mormons also realized, DS mentioned how damaging it is when well meaning, knowledgeable insiders point out these flaws. Virulent opposers are not the only ones laying bare the truth , veritablement.

After this talk.... No matter -how poor the Sunday speaker is, how childish the WT article is written, how many times they are asked for money, how long they have been waiting for the New World....
They had better keep smiling and say everything is wonderful, or they are branded as " negative " " going out of the truth" " a bad associate"
Keep up the painted smile !

What Splane is trying to assert is that ex-jws who oppose the doctrines of the JWS religion are evil and spiritually dangerous to listen to those who are baptized participating members.
The reality is that this self described Christian organization is inherently false and apostate scripturaly, which is opposed to Jehovah and Jesus Christ's instructions in preaching his Gospel, drafted out by men who were truly apostate and evil (sinful) in their personal literature proliferation agenda.
In short the Watchtower Corporation was always apostate in nature.

Re: the Texas abuse lawsuit
Why are two Kingdom Halls listed as defendants, yet not these eight men. I am, however, really glad they state the it was the Governing Body who did Not report the abuse to authorities and that they were reached out to for comment. Unlike the elder, the GB get to hide behind a wall of heavy security and a wall of expensive a$$orney's.
