  Who can spot the double-talk in this quote from a new PR brochure series meant for government and media relations?

  The religious activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses
  worldwide is overseen by an administrative
  body, which Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to as “the
  Governing Body.” This group follows the pattern
  of the first century “apostles and elders” in
  Jerusalem, who shared Bible-based information
  and enabled individual believers to make their
  own decisions. (Acts 15:2) The Governing Body
  recognizes that each individual “will carry his own
  load” and respects his right of free will to make
  decisions, as he will bear the responsibility for the
  results.

  "each individual “will carry his own load” ... "he will bear the responsibility for the results" is code for:

  CROSS US AND WE WILL DF YOU, MAKE SURE YOU ARE SHUNNED, AND GENERALLY TRY TO MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE.

  The dishonesty of thIS religion is astounding. No one is encouraged to make their own decisions. WTC makes the decisions and the R&F parrot them. It's time for the gov't to revoke their tax exempt status.
