I thought this was a pretty interesting article. Their two biggest threats are clear... science and other Christian religions.
If all you know about religious people is what the Watchtower has told you, you might buy into their story about how other religions and prominent people have no interest in glorifying God. But that logic doesn't hold up in reality, does it?
I wanted to laugh out loud where it said "a man" conducted interviews with people who believe in evolution and found they only believed because they felt that all intelligent people believe in it, so that's why they believe in it, too. So they fail to mention that practically the entire scientific community accepts evolution as fact, based on years of study and scrutiny. By the way, I shouldn't need to mention that there was no information on who this "man" is and what his credentials and/or biases are, how this poll was conducted and who conducted it, or where his findings were published, if they even were.
I think the icing on the cake with this lesson for me was where they were still on the evolution paragraph, and their bible scripture referenced, I can't remember exactly what, Psalms or Proverbs, said something like "the inexperienced one is trusting in every word". That really made me want to laugh, because that's exactly what I was, inexperienced, when I trusted in every one of the Watchtower's words. "Inexperienced" is putting it too nicely, I think!

One point that stood out for me in listening to all this was the fact that they quote Isaiah where it says that glory should only go to Jehovah alone then they go on to directly heap glory on "Jehovah's Witnesses" in at least two subsequent paragraphs.
