You will be able to extinguish all the wicked one’s burning arrows.—Eph. 6:16.

 

Satan, “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about Jehovah and about our brothers and sisters. (John 8:44) For instance, apostates publish lies and distort facts about Jehovah’s organization on websites and through television and other media. Those lies are among Satan’s “burning arrows.” How should we respond if someone confronts us with such lies? We reject them! Why? Because we have faith in Jehovah and we trust our brothers. In fact, we avoid all contact with apostates. We do not allow anyone or anything, including curiosity, to draw us into arguing with them nor to weaken our faith. Have you resisted the urge to listen to and argue with apostates about the lies they spread? That is commendable. But we must remain on guard because Satan has other weapons that he tries to use against us. w19.11 15 ¶8; 16 ¶11

[Sister Twister]

Apostates are happy to spend much time and effort arguing with us and undermining the FDS , we don't need to even reply to them as tempting as it may be as we won't help them they are working for satan.

 

But never to be confused with a person who due to a state of mind or a difficult situation may momentarily speak wildly and just need love and help to realign their thinking.

We are warned about the "deep things of Satan"(Rev 2:24).  There is a saying,"Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back."  Curiosity has killed not a few of our brothers and no amount of satisfaction can undo the lasting harm done  by such curiosity.  The spiritually weak or like Eve, inexperienced are most vulnerable. Just like with Covid, we cannot drop our guard when it comes to apostates.

We stand warned!
