"1 Peter 3:15, We are told in the Bible.
But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have, but doing so with a mild temper and deep respect."
The problem is no JW adheres to this...if questioned or pressed to explain why the ORG has had prior false doctrines or done things that reek of hypocrisy the JW will get angry, defensive, and resort to name calling and a staunch refusal to even hear anything critical of the sacred WT or the ORG.
If questions or accusations are made in front of elders it results in disfellowshipping....
So the GB stance is Don't you dare question us or demand an explanation from US!
