    like criminals who secretly bring things into a country.

    "Things"?

    Like what? Luggage? Grapefruits? Bottles of shampoo larger than 3 ounces?

    I swear my IQ drops every time I open a Watchtower....

    So apostates are like "Bible Students" that smuggled literature into Nazi Germany?

    Doesn't that "illustration" make apostates good since all the governments are controlled by Satan?

    I really don't get where they are going with this kind of quote referenced by the OP. Can you imagine if an elder said somthing like "everyone should partake" or "Armageddon is a long way off"

    What I mean is once you are an elder, you can't wander off the reservation the least bit or you will be questioned in a New York second. Where are these elders that subtly take multiple publishers out with them when they leave? I've never heard of anything like that happening.

    Methinks this will contribute to the cognitive dissonance and mental illness in the congregations.

    Only 2 ways to look at the info:

    1. It is true, so therefore there must be secret apostates. Who are they? How will I be able to discern them?

    2. It isn't true, therefore the leadership must either be crazy, mistaken or paranoid.

    At least apostates are clever. -"They do this in a very clever way"

    Don't worry Sir 82, they now have a simpler version of the WT
