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.
