When faced with trials or apostate ideas or when carrying out challenging assignments, God's loyal ones can be confident of Jehovah's guidance and support.
When faced with apostate ideas Jehovah gives guidance and support?

Yes, there are apostates at Headquarters - the entire Governing Body and Writing Department!
But this is not proof of it.

1914BS:
Did you notice why the letters C O C were highlited???
Yes, because you highlighted them. They weren't highlighted in the original, you did it. Your later comments indicate that it is because those letters are the initials of "Crisis of Conscience" but surely you can't be stupid enough to think that these three letters appearing in consecutive words in a randomly selected sentence has any significance. For example, in your sentence that I quoted above the letters N W T appear in a similar sequence, but only a raving lunatic would take this as evidence that you endorse the New World Translation.
Furthermore, if we take out a few words we get ..............
"When faced with apostate ideas, God's loyal ones can be confident of Jehovah's guidance and support."
There appears to be no purpose in your removing this phrase other than to show that you have some understanding of the modular nature of language. The following two sentences can be formed by a similar process:
When faced with trials, God's loyal ones can be confident of Jehovah's guidance and support.
When carrying out challenging assignments, God's loyal ones can be confident of Jehovah's guidance and support.
The Watchtower writer, likely having at least an elementary school education, would be aware of the rules of language and grammar that would allow him to combine these three related ideas into a single sentence.
\The above word game is valid because the watchtower writer was very careful to use the OR separator - (not commas!!)
The word "or" is a conjunction used to connect words, phrases or clauses representing alternatives. The use of such a word is common to people of many different belief systems. By itself, it tells us nothing about what they actually believe. For that, one has to take into account the rest of the sentence. You seem to be saying that it somehow means the opposite of what it actually means.
yes I agree this WT article is showing us the apostacy from within the borg.
You agree with whom? There's nothing ambiguous or advanced about the thoughts expressed in the sentence; anybody over the age of about six should be able to parse it as I did. Why do you imagine there's a cryptic message hidden therein? You decided to highlight a number of words but appear to have no logical reason for doing so.

If you take all of the items and prices listed on a drive-through menu; cut out certain words and rearrange others - you will get the Periodic Table of the Elements.
and the ingredients in the items on the fast food menu are just as mysterious as the PTE...unknowable,

This dude seems to have the ideal mindset of a witness. Getting excited about absolutely nothing. Reading significance into things which cannot possibly have any significance.
