  Today's Watchtower was nice. Under the heading:

  Satan - A Defiant Adversary and Apostate

  Paragraph 15 read as follows:

  15. Satan was the first creature to turn apostate. Modern-day apostates display characteristics similar to those of the Devil. Their mind may be poisoned by a critical attitude toward individuals in the congregations, Christian elders, or the Governing Body. Some apostates oppose the use of the divine name Jehovah. They are not interested in learning about Jehovah or in serving him. Like their father, Satan, apostates target people of integrity. (John 8:44) No wonder servants of Jehovah avoid all contact with them! -2 John 10, 11.

  And the question for this delightful paragraph?

  15. What do modern-day apostates have in common with Satan?

  If you're a sadist you can read the rest of the article here. I'm off to file my horns.

  Sorry mouthy, it's a poor substitute but here's a cyber hug .

  Did you notice the way they set up a straw man of "apostates"? They could have said "Apostates claim we are associated with the UN" or "Apostates claim we are false prophets" or any other number of things. Instead they present the case that apostates leave because of personal differences.

  Satan vs. Jehovah = critical thinking vs. Governing Body

  Yep, both of those are about the same...

  Their mind may be poisoned by a critical attitude toward individuals in the congregations, Christian elders, or the Governing Body.

  Never for legitimate reasons, such as a lack of love, or utter hypocrisy. It's simply because their minds are poisoned.

  Some apostates oppose the use of the divine name Jehovah.

  Never mind that it doesn't actually appear in the original text of the new testament, or that Jesus himself never used the name. Any liberties taken to god's word should be embraced by all true christians.

  They are not interested in learning about Jehovah or in serving him.

  They have me there. I have no interest in serving the murderous, vindictive, egomaniacal god of the WT.

  What mind control! They are attacking the intent of individuals, not the message.

  Wow, could you find a better example of cult mind control? It's positively scary.
