And that is where the mind gives in and cognitive dissonance sets in to find a solution.
Example 1:
Gods name is Jehovah / Gods name is not Jehovah
I think almost all JWs really know that Gods name is not Jehovah, but they have to use Jehovah as Gods name, but Gods name is not Jehovah, yes but use Jehovah for Gods name, OK Jehovah is God, but Jehovah is not Gods name, yes but ....
Example 2:
We freely preach out of love to Jehovah and our fellow man/if you do not preach you are blood-guilty and will die at the big A
I freely go in service because I love Jehovah and me fellow man, good that you go, because if you did not go you would be blood-guilty and and Jehovah would demand their blood from you, so you die at the big A.
Example 3:
Anybody help here ...

The Corporation is capitalizing on "The Nations Will Know That I Am Jehovah" yes destruction awaits all those who don't know Jehovah hurray for Jehovah! Another one Bites the Dust, never doubt what we say because we are the leaders of Jehovah people.

Yes there certainly is provocation of imposing fear to control people in so many ways in this cult.
Fear by virtue of the deity Yahweh killing you for not obeying his chosen seers here on earth and like wise.
In the fact that an individual upon being baptized has to make a vow of servitude and subservience to the GB ( FDSL ) is indicative to that has well.

I completely disagree with that statement. I've never had a JW question that any more than if Jesus' name is Jesus.

Its disconcerting when you think what people have done to themselves and others over deities (gods) that didn't exist except in the imagation and ignorance of some ancient tribal dwellers.
Sure they may have helped and hindered into controlling people's behavior within there social living environment but that was also done so by other ancient civilizations as well. ie. Hittites , Egyptian , Greek , Persian they all had gods that were set as guiding proponents of power and control, neither did these gods exist as well.
