  Keep in mind that Satan does not want you to think clearly or reason things out well. Why? Because propaganda “is likely to be most effective,” says one source, “if people . . . are discouraged from thinking critically.” (Media and Society in the Twentieth Century) So never be content passively or blindly to accept what you hear. (Prov. 14: 15) Use your God-given thinking abilities and power of reason to make the truth your own.—Prov. 2:10-15; Rom. 12:1, 2.
  Page 30 (first paragraph): Your defense? Be determined to stick to Jehovah’s organization and loyally support the leadership he provides—no matter what imperfections may surface. (1 Thess. 5:12, 13) Do not be “quickly shaken from your reason” when faced with what appear to be damaging attacks by apostates or other such deceivers of the mind—however plausible their charges may seem.

  Irony so thick you can't cut it...

  But notice what they don't suggest: fact checking. They urge the reader to not just believe anything, yet turn around and urge the reader to not believe opposers, even if their information seems plausible. And the reason is obvious - they don't want the reader to fact check. Just take their word for it. Apostates bad... WTS good.

  Nice observation Undercover. From this thread it becomes clear that JWs are following an organization of men when they don't make sense, and rejecting other points of view when they do make sense.

  Thanks Darkspilver for the update on recent Watchtower guidelines to keep the followers in line even when they disagree with, and see flaws in, their leadership. I was thinking about those quotes recently and putting them all together like that is handy!

  Not sure if anyone actually posted the source?

  no matter what imperfections may surface." (July 2017 Watchtower page 20)

  The WTS is now really in a war of information about its false (commercialized) doctrines, child abuse scandals, money scandals etc.

  Thank Jah for the inter-net

  Well, apostates are not the big problem any longer, now everybody awaits to hear of some gossip or embarrassment or even scandal, of some chilling, thrilling, dirty no-matter-what -affairs. Its not about stubborness, simple errors, no, no far wrong.

  Yeah, now the time comes, when krass imperfection will appear soon clearly on the surface. It will hit us unpresedentedly and unawaitedly. It could even be spiritual "foooornication", cognisance, complicity ... slowly but inevitable the watchtower prophesized it will appear on the surface.

  If the watchtower says "may surface" it is quite certain or is it not!

  Its judgmentment time, cleansing time in gods house full of imperfection, now its time to confess, admit and repent hahaha.

  the judicial committees will get crowed - overcrowded. The system of hearings and repetance may even collaps There one's loyality will be proved.
