ESE,
To the wt, public perception is everything. Without a positive spin, their publications would flounder.
Also, any negative influence that must be dealt with in regards to publishers hurts their bottom line.
Of course they are concerned with opponents, honest discussion of their methods and doctrines, and public dissection of their framework.
JWD is a huge site for exiting, and exited members. Our presence here is of the utmost concern to them.
Keep reading here. And welcome to the board.

May I also inform you that the recent posts you refer to are not "paranoia" but a statement of wellness and strenght. They are statements of lives reclaimed.

Many thanks, LW! That's exactly what my posted "Hello" to the WTS is....a statement of a life reclaimed.
Hugs,

ese,
I now have custody of my three daughters who were raised in the WTBTS org. Their mother and stepfather abused them spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally, and inflict great pain and guilt upon them for so much as sighing over having to go to a JW meeting. They have told my children that I was a bad person and that I was going to be destroyed by Jehovah.
One of the things I had to consider when coming out was how much persecution my precious children would receive from their mother and stepfather and from the socalled "friends" and elders in the congregation. They will be telling these innocent children their father is an evil apostate and other such terrible things. SOMETIMES WE MUST WITHOLD THE TRUTH FROM THOSE WHO CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH, FOR IT IS AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE AND WISDOM.
I have chosen to come out now only because I have brought my children to a place where they are stronger and can handle the crap some will be heaping upon them. I have shown them enough real "truth" about the "truth" in order for them to rebuff the JW persecution. They now have enough knowledge to say to the JW's, "you are a bunch of liars and you are going to leave me alone now".
