The Watchtower relies much too heavily on negative innuendos to frighten the flock from believing what the news may say. I'm thinking this has got to wake up those having doubt and cause many who had none to start having doubts.
Do not be “quickly shaken from your reason” when faced with what appear to be damaging attacks by apostates or other such deceivers of the mind—however plausible their charges may seem.
Doesn't this make even the most dyed in the wool JW believer have a WTF moment? The Governing Body are making a Hail Mary play here and stoking the fire by such words. I'm thinking they are their own worst enemy and that anything they do to stem the tide of negative publicity to be the wrong thing, their wishful thinking phase has blasted into nightmare stage as meet headlong 'reality' in other word the gig is up and only the most extreme loyalist will be giving them support from here on in., they have gone way too far in relying on mass credulity of the faithful. They are in real trouble and they know it.
