The best summary I ever heard was by Douglas Adams in the "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy"
"Because"
One of the biggest complete 180 contradictions in the SAME ARTICLE, in the 9/15 study wt "Is your conscience a reliable guide?".

This is pretty much how all articles they write on having a bible (read WT) trained conscience go. God gave you a conscience, but there's something wrong with you if that conscience doesn't tell you do do exactly as we say.
It's their SOP - twist the meaning of things by adding qualifiers. To someone in the cult "christians" and "true christians" are two completely separate groups of people. They do the same thing with "conscience" and "bible-trained conscience." The first could be wrong (i.e. it probably wouldn't lead you to shun someone who left due to their own conscientious decision) but the second is always right. How do you know it's always right? Because it tells you to do exactly what the cult says to do.
