    Apostates, however, differ from most of those whom we meet in our ministry. Apostates are not sincere in their expressions. Their aim is to manipulate your minds and undermine your faith."

    Truly hypocritical, considering what the WTS has printed regarding this kind of rhetoric:

    "Some people insult those who disagree with them by questioning character or motives instead of focusing on the facts. Name-calling slaps a negative, easy-to-remember label onto a person, a group, or an idea. The name-caller hopes that the label will stick. If people reject the person or the idea on the basis of the negative label instead of weighing the evidence for themselves, the name-caller's strategy has worked.

    Awake 11/22 1984 p4:

    "A closed mind…could even be a sign of uncertainty or doubt. For example, if we are unable to defend our religious views, we may find ourselves lashing out against those who challenge our beliefs, not with logical arguments, but with slurs and innuendos. This smacks of prejudice and of a closed mind."

    I'm so glad I won't be at this convention or any in the future. It disgusts me the things spewed from the stage. And I'm happy to say my children wont be sitting in the audience learning this dribble as I once did.

    What if it's the apostates that are on the side of freedom? As it turns out, joke-hova wants us all enslaved, and thus anything that is opposed to it is good for humanity. And that goes for Satan and His Demons.
