Obviously, friendship with wicked ones can foster an ungodly spirit within us and can destroy our relationship with Jehovah God.
It can also improve their relationship with God and Christ. Some here have a deeper spirituality than they ever did as a JW. It's their relationship with a greedy, cult-like, book publishing corporation that has been destroyed.
May we never allow that to happen!
I can't believe they said this again! Who writes this copy? It's so archaic! It reminds me of the overly melodramatic announcer at the cliffhanger in the old Batman TV show. The Riddler. The Joker. The Penguin. And now the most cunning of villians; Apostate!
That show was camp and everyone knew it. But Watchtower is so serious/oblivious of how campy this sounds to anyone not a JW. "Can it be?!? Has Apostate finally won!?! Will our heroes' relationship with Jehovah be destroyed by Apostate's nefarious schemes?!! Never may that happen!!! Tune in tomorrow! Same cult-time! Same cult-channel!"
No wonder people ridicule them. It isn't just us Apostates. Anyone I talk to thinks they're kooks!
