How do JW's and their apologists' explain this?
They explain it the same way many scientists explain man-made items found in coal that is supposedly 300 million years old:

it's almost like there are so many little things that add up to a lot, a lot of evidence that the wt selectivly presents its history, and even attempts to re-write it at times.. but if you had to choose just one item to prove your point, what would it be?.
oz.
Why was the Watchtower annual report wrong in 2011?
...
Because of all the false prophets.
are you disfellowshipped, disassociated, active, inactive???
?.
Technically inactive. But a few elders must have suspicions that I'm apostate after I told them "Do you really believe everything they[the Governing Body] say?"
After reading this site, and coming to the realization that no amount of logic or facts can awaken a devout JW (unless they have their own suspicions), I've decided to fade quietly.
had two elders personally visit me today to deliver the rejection of christ memorial invitation.
they were hanging around the front gate for a while because our dog (labrador) woudn't let them in.. my wife let them in the yard / house.
when they asked if i'd be going i smiled and said "thank you for the invitation", then quickly changed the subject.

stop telling everyone your proofs if you your self are shy of commitment.
show some faith and give everything to charity..
I would be more than happy if they think the end is near to relieve those idiots of ALL their worldly possessions.
What would that be:- A car from the 1990s, a bucket, squeegee, briefcase and five suits.
i have a friend, she has been my friend for over 20 years...in that 20 years i have seen her reasonably regularly.
i visit her, she visits me.. the thing that has started bugging me is this...... when i visit her it is normally in the daytime.
i stop in for a cuppa and a chat.
Tell her you're fasting tonight.
ok soi grew up in the religion and i remember so often the churches being slammed at the meetings for passing the plate and how they shamelessly begged for money.
how we as jehovah's witnesses are so much better because we never ask for money and the contribution box is sort of hidden in the back of the hall like we were even embarrassed to have to have that.
just the word contribution was so much better than the words the worldly churches used.
Sounds like a "Snare and a Racket" to me. ... But hey don't listen to me I'm diseased mentally.

she says that she is "studying" to become a jw , so i guess that fits in with the report that her & venus are ubps , not baptised.. personally i prefer caroline woznaicki , but i don't doubt that there will be a quite a few jw guys that regard her as ace & might be tempted to play mixed doubles , court and have a love game with serena.
and with her 85 million usd wealth , i'm guessing that that part time janitor or window washing job might no longer be necessary..
Serena and Venus could probably tempt me into a game of mixed doubles.
Mind you, I’m not sure how many rounds I could survive, or who would come out on top!
She would slam your balls into next week.
here's a letter that has circulated among many ex-watchtowerites!.
just thought you'd want to know!.
awake!
@semelcred
The letter is a fake. Unless the GB are writing letters to bodies of elders in simplified english the wording of the letter is not in the style of the writing dept.
Maybe they've cut back at the writing department too.
... and that's all I have to say.
