The Watchtower (study edition), “Will You Heed Jehovah’s Clear Warnings?”

15. Juli 2011 · pp.15-19 · par. 6-7 (p. 16) · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Well, apostates are “mentally diseased,” and they seek to infect others with their disloyal teachings. [par. 6] … We also refuse to read their literature, watch TV programs that feature them, examine their Web sites, or add our comments to their blogs. [par. 7]”

Compares apostates to carriers of a 'contagious, deadly disease' and sets out what avoiding 'false teachers' involves.

Hinweis zu Herkunft und Überprüfung for The Watchtower (study edition), Will You Heed Jehovah’s Clear Warnings?

Hinweis zur Vertrauensangabe. Opened the WOL document; page marker confirms p. 16. The 'poisoned dish' image suggested in the brief is NOT in this article (it uses 'dried-up wells', 'ravenous wolves' and disease imagery).

Notes. The 'mentally diseased' phrase attracted UK press coverage in 2011 (not researched here).
