The apostle Paul (Saul) did not share in the loving fellowship of Christ Jesus as He walked the earth, and though the apostle Peter described Paul's teachings as essentially confusing, his letters seem to flow with the narrative of God's direction. It is much easier and more Christ like to focus on the teachings of the apostles that did share in Christ's fellowship. Firsthand experience with the shunning practices of the Watchtower society and similar movements, combined with the collective outcries of others fated with such cruelty, are examples of the twisting of the scriptures warned about in Peter's epistle.
