The naive person believes every word, but the shrewd one ponders each step. - Prov. 14:15The comments bring out an accurat point:
We are bombarded with information.Propaganda is meant to distort and blur correct information. It was used successfully in wartime as a way to disorient the enemy. If the enemy heard reports of its own government failing to do its job, it can destroy morale and people would not fight.
Satan uses sucn propaganda against us. Same-sex marriages are okay; Jehovah doesn't love you; we are such sinners, we cannot be forgiven; there is life after death, and a host of other untruths.
In this current pandemic, we receive information about those saying how deadly the coronavirus is, to those who say it's not dangerous. What to believe? That's why we need to develop the ability to evaluate information, and the best way is to compare it with the principles the Bible lays out.
The Governing Body is indeed providing the voice of wisdom, giving talks on trusting Jehovah and the channel he uses to give us the information. We can always trust such sources. Being shrewd will help us against Satan's attacks, as these attacks will escalate.
