Honest Hearted Ones

In the WT version, "honest hearted ones" = JWs who believe and obey the GB without question.

“Honest and good hearted” appears once, thanks for that VH7.
Still using it over 330 times in the WT literature is certainly an over emphasis.
Jesus once said that he didn’t call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
That was the contrast I was trying to make.

The JW use of the term, "Honest hearted" is a very old technique.
"So?" said the gentleman in the fine coat: "are ye of the honest party?" (meaning, Was he a Jacobite? for each side, in these sort of civil broils, takes the name of honesty for its own).
(Robert Lewis Stevenson)

An old technique, but proven to work, we see it in advertising, and political rhetoric and propaganda. The Org. love it.
