Apostates or apologists?

    Years ago, there was an article in the WT that talked about the characteristics of "apostate literature". They listed 3 or 4 of these characteristics, but I can only remember 2 - prideful intelligence and lack of love.

    I don't see how CofC or any other of the "apostate" books out there display these characteristics. However, I have noticed that there are a few posters on this board that reflect this haughtiness and lack of love. These posters are the WT apologists. They use confusing wordplay and loaded, propagandistic language to defend Watchtowerist doctrine, and belittle and insult those who disagree. They gleefully go on about our being in the "last days", with the implication, of course, being that if these really are the "last days", then boy are the Watchtowerists right and boy are we "apostates" gonna get it at the big A.

    The WT apologists are the prideful, unloving ones. While I certainly don't wish to "take them on", as I am no debater, their spirit is enough to convince me who is right.

    Excellent post dantheman.

    When making an observation, if I am wrong, I am more than willing to apologize.

    I cannot say the same for the WT-apologists of this board.

    If only they realized they have become the very thing they profess to despise and avoid.

    YouKnow, this means you.

    Hey Dantheman.

    Wt apologist cannot ever admit they are wrong the same as the FDS never do......only"refined".

    It would be demeaning to the Org. They make no mistakes, as they are guided by Jehovah, and so the rank and file follow suit. It would be Apostasy to agree that an X-dub was right on something.

    Very True!

    For some reason, intelligence is a bad thing to the JW's.
