    Opposers also spread false accusations against us. In some lands we are accused of posing a threat to the State, just as Nehemiah was accused of rebelling against the king. Some accusations have been successfully rebutted in judicial courts. But whatever the outcome in individual situations, we confidently pray that Jehovah will direct matters according to his will.

    A clever tactic .....they rarely refute any accusation, even the ones that may be easily refuted. By maintaining a 'dignified silence' they keep a mystique that leaves them above criticism. The opposers just carry on, but more importantly the body of the flock believes that ALL criticism is therefore unfounded and apostate lies.

    Ok this was the worst article I have to sit through. It was so bad I think most in the audience at my hall saw through the flawed logic.

    As I study for the meetings, I think of the critical thinking Blondie shows with these. Besides the obvious anti-apostate stuff in this one, I looked at the three review questions and made notes on the second one: "What was the main objective of Nehemiah's enemies and what is the objective of God's enemies today?" My thought is that not all enemies of JW are enemies of God. I didn't offer that comment out loud of course, nor the one I wrote in lage letters next to paragraph 11. I underlined "Jehovah answeres their prayers" and wrote Malawi? in large clear letters for whomever was looking over my shoulder. I'm thinking that I should make other plans for Sundays, but I am still fascinated with the Rev book. Ahh, what to do.

    Does the Watchtower NOT RETALIATE when it or more to the point, its money is threatened in any way?

    The Watchtower Society is notorious for helping to frame laws by its litigation processes that have left other organizations afraid of the power it wields in court room simply because it is willing to use the law as a big stick to protect itself and its enormous financial assets.

    I'm afraid this is another case of the Watchtower Society saying one thing with one face and something else with the other.

    Yet, the humble R and F should NOT seek justice and should leave things 'in the hands of Jehovah',

    I smell a rat!
