SAD NEWS MY FELLOW JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.?

Question

My fellow Brothers & Sisters I bring you all the sad news that I have decided to leave this site.
I do this because it has come to my attention that what it stands for has been corrupted, there is no freedom of speech or freedom of Religion with the Y!A censors. To many honest questions and answers of a Biblical nature that I have posted have been removed.
I will have no further part of a corrupt site. I will continue to take the truth to the people and help them find Jehovah and what he means to humanity.

To all my friends here, Please feel free to get in contact with me via Yahoo! Messenger of I would be more than happy to give you my mail address.

Just so I fall in line with rules, here is a question, How do you deal with Apostates ?

I will not return once I have picked the best answer to this "question".
I give you my best my Brothers & Sisters and will ask for Jehovah's Blessings to be upon you all.

Answer 1

Dear Brother, thank you for letting us know this. I personally know the feeling of the "minus 10 points deleted answer" thing. It happens when you give your best answers, you know the ones that cut through false doctrine and expose Christendom for what it is.



It's happened to many of us. Look at our Dear Sister Mindy who has been lied about and picked on while the censors stood by and did nothing. We all know what's going on here. People can't handle the truth! However, I believe Yahoo provides a good service. There are simply individuals who work for them that are opposed, it's not likely the company itself. You are going to find this same thing in your place of employment.



Remeber the words of Jesus who said at John 15:17-20 “These things I command YOU, that YOU love one another. 18 If the world hates YOU, YOU know that it has hated me before it hated YOU. 19 If YOU were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because YOU are no part of the world, but I have chosen YOU out of the world, on this account the world hates YOU. 20 Bear in mind the word I said to YOU, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute YOU also; if they have observed my word, they will observe YOURS also."



That being said we've already had our summer assembly here (we had the first one) and the internet was a hot topic. I won't tell you everything, you will here when you get your assembly. But you might be making a wise decision. The internet is a dangerous place. However, I think you are one that can handle it and use it properly. Either way it is your decision and must be made prayerfully.



Wherever you preach, keep up the good work and keep making known the name and truth about our Great God JEHOVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I don't use this site as my official ministry, the governing body has properly organised methods that works. The one thing we should always remember is that very very few ever change their opinion to what they read on Yahoo Answers if they come into it with a bias. I rather just put up a defence. At least the truth is told about Jehovah, the Bible, the organisation inspite of those who want to alienate Jehovah's Witnesses. People that hate Jehovah's Witnesses don't like our good conduct way of life but they cannot oppose the truth without knowingly being ashamed.



(1 Peter 3:16) Hold a good conscience, so that in the particular in which YOU are spoken against they may get ashamed who are speaking slightingly of YOUR good conduct in connection with Christ.





Yahoo Answers carries the spirit of the world so don't get involved in any more of a level than you feel you can handle. Yahoo Answers doesn't really cover a theocratic need for us but rather just something for your spare time - makes some points and ask and answer about other things. But if you are going then I hope you continue to find as we all should that nothing is better to teach people about Jehovah than going out to the people face to face.

Even our opposers know that too as they spend a lot of time here mocking the door to door ministry more than anything.

Answer 3

Greetings!

Keep close in mind, that this is a corrupt world in which we live in and go out to preach in, and teach and spread the good news of the kingdom in. It only matters that we don't let it corrupt us, and that we do what we can to stay wake, keeping on the watch at all times. We have been given, and are constantly receiving instructions on how to do this.

This (YA) is only a means to do that when we have a little time of rest and we are not in prayer, personal study of the scriptures, meeting preparation, the door to door ministry, or while at the meetings, or at work or school.



As part of this corrupt system, Satan has designed a method in which we waste time. It is up to each of us not to waste our valuable time, whether through television, recreation, the internet and all other forms of modern tech, that can eat up large chunks of time. We need to buy out time for righteousness, always keeping Jehovah's will in focus.

Though many things can be used to that end, we need to be balanced in all things.

What ever you decide to do my faithful, friend, do all things for Jehovah and you will succeed in all things.



In keeping with YA rules; You don't. If you are sure, beyond doubt, that they are apostate, and are in direct opposition to Jehovah, block them! If you read they are maliciously, spreading lies, expose their lies through scriptures, that others that may be saved, may know the truth.

Other then that, remember who you serve and how we are instructed to act.

I am guilty of sometimes finding that hard to do, so don't get me wrong. I pray for self-control, direction and Jehovah's holy spirit, constantly, but I don't take it personal. I know I am only being a witness for Jehovah and nothing else.

Answer 4

I got tired of all the stuff that goes on here also. It seems most people would rather cut each other and their beliefs down than act like adults. It is ridiculous that someone can get your answer deleted just because they don't agree with what you have to say. This is a world of diversity and we will all have different opinions and beliefs. I am sad to see you go also because I did enjoy your questions and answers. They made me think very carefully before putting my own responses.

Answer 5

Brother, I don't deal with apostates. Meaning that I ignore their questions!



It is sad that you are leaving,because how I see it bro, if we are not on here to answer genuine questions, then those people are left in the dark, so I stay for those.



Although, sadly I have not had anyone email me for more information, I know it happens because of what our brothers and sisters say.



I admit it is: "in ones face here", but we are always going to find people against us and for me, it strengthens my faith in Jehovah.



I am surprised that your questions or answers have been deleted because when that has happened, Y!A are very good and put my answer back on again. This has not happened in a long time, so I must not be offending too many.



There is freedom of speech, but within our own world, so to speak. In other words: If "we" agree, then we allow the speech to continue, but if not: "we" it comes across as not being allowed to say our piece. It is great in theory, but in practice, another thing - but isn't that with everything?



I in turn, give you a hug and courage for keeping on the narrow road to life.

Answer 6

Really??? I am sad to hear that because I enjoyed your answers. I have thought to do that many times. I will just tell you how I handle things but it is not saying that is way others should feel for we all need to come to our own conclusions.



I do not spend much time answering those that are opposed. I am not saying I never do, but way less. They usually make idiots out of themselves! When I do answer, I don't even bother reading all of their garbage. The same with those I know are contributing their garbage without really wanting the truth. I am on here to help others that sincerely want answers from the Bible. I try not to answer the same subjects a lot because then it is not enjoyable to me.



I like to be on Yahoo A! for fun and that is why I started here in the first place. A couple things I love is quotations and poems and the kid in me loves polls. I have been blessed to meet some very wonderful brothers and sisters and I might add you are one of my recent ones. I have also witnessed to others; sometimes a short answer with a scripture and asking them to email me, I have seen results and it makes me feel good about myself. In fact, I am still in contact with a young girl who is now studying and doing well. I have seen her through many a trial. We have been writing for a year now. I have another one I met on this sight in a similar situation. I just got an encouraging email from her last night. She is going to ask the elders in a couple weeks about becoming an unbaptized publisher. I have become friends and I hope I helped, LOL, a soon to be baptized brother and his family. Even though they are going through many trials right now I try to be that good friend that they are so in need of. I have befriended a couple lonely people, because I understand loneliness and family problems, including depression and anxiety. I have learned as well that some disabled witnesses need this site for preaching and I personally do not think that is wrong. I probably do spend a little too much time on here but it is truly out of LOVE for people. In writing this (which is bringing tears to my eyes :D ), I was thinking of the scripture that says to cast your bread upon the water and see what comes back to you. You sometimes do not know how much good you have done until much later on.This one comforts me as well, which I hope it will for you too:



Proverbs 27:17 "By iron, iron itself is sharpened. So one man sharpens the face of another.'



This is what we do for each other as brothers and sisters. The Worldwide Brotherhood keeps us in our Spiritual Paradise. Agape!



BTW; The brothers do not recommend nor do they condemn social networking. Info from the convention.

Answer 7

Jah Serv. Sorry to see you go but I do understand it and tend to agree with you. I'm so happy to have been able to read your posts here and I'll look for you in the New System. Just had our 3 day Dis. Conven. this past weekend and have to say it will be a joy to meet you then.



Agape,



Sister Suzy M.

Answer 8

Peace.





Personally, I have been suspended from AnswerBag, a more interactive site, 'umpteen' times, until

I was eventually "nuked". Yet, I have had the privilege of a few sending mails, and worthwhile

interactions. My being here sometimes on Yahoo Answers is sheer coincidence, I have had my

answer re-instated after appeal, yet, it is not about justice on here, but, as has been stated sowing

seeds.



Peace, and agape.







Proverbs 25:21-22

American Standard Version (ASV)





21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:



22 For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.







Romans 12:20-21

American Standard Version (ASV)





20 But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.



21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.





As the texts above attest to, doing good for those who oppose may help to 'extract' their

good qualities.

Answer 9

Just as Jehovah has done. Hate what they stand for.



Ignore them, and love the block button my brother (after all, no-matter what they say, we know from the bottom of our hearts, they will only be one winner) Satan knows and yet shudders!



It is hard on here, but it does get through to some, and we are constantly leaving seeds.



If we have no joy on hear then its a good choice, and a personal choice.



Please send me your personal email address [e-mail]



All the best, and thanks for your time on here. No doubt we will meet in the new system.

Dearest Jehovah's Servent,

There are always going to be haters and people who challenge your word. You know that I am one of them. But dont give up, thats not like you!

Chose to stay, ignore the people who hate, and inspire those who follow you.

xxSera.

Answer 13

I block em and ignore em.



Sorry to see you go - I respect your decision though and wish you Jehovah's blessing.

Answer 14

We'll miss you! Hope you change your mind cause' there is plenty of us on here that are still answering and asking questions.



To answer your question, I haven't dealt with any Apostates before in person or if there was any online here...I wouldn't really know anyways. But if I ever had to deal with one, I would ignore them and not give into their negative comments.

Answer 15

I block their accounts (so they cannot gain easy access to my Q&As to erroneously report them),

and, I ignore by far most of their Q&As.



I invite you to read the answers (including mine) to 'A Zebra Striking's Q:



"JW's & others: Exactly how do you feel about this public forum?"

https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20110611130501AAEBYOz

Answer 16

I understand brother. there are a lot of accounts on level one slandering us. there are some who say they are witnesses and they are not and get rude with other members. I am also thinking of leaving also. as you see from some of the answers, how rude people get with us. please keep in touch with me threw email. guess they would get rude with Jesus and the disciples also

Answer 17

Do you currently realize that the scriptural (2 Tim. 3:16-17) o.t. is the law of Moses not the 'Biblical' Genesis-Malachi? The law of Moses is called in (English) scriptural either the old testament or old covenant 2 Cor. 3:13-14.



Could that difference be one of the things dividing USA Christianity currently?

Answer 18

"...what it stands for has been corrupted."



It doesn't "stand for" anything. Never did. It's a place for the discussion of religion and spirituality, pro and con, good and bad, and completely open. The only questions and answers that get removed are the ones that violate the posting guidelines.



To answer your question: I don't (deal with apostates). Other than to perhaps encourage them to keep thinking, and congratulate them on a wise decision.



Peace.

Answer 22

You could have left a lot faster if you hadn't wasted so much time writing an unnecessarily long question. Do you actually think anyone read it?

Answer 23

Well it is sort of like a hot kitchen here, so if you can't take it...
