Scriptural counsel

[Single_grainofsand]

Good evening friends. I have appreciated many of your fine experiences and it has strengthened my faith numerous accounts!

 

A thought was brought up from one of our elders within the congregation I'm a part of about the dangers of using a site the Organization doesn't promote to share with the congregation. I would appreciate any scriptural references and/or personal experiences that some may have similarly faced dealing with this topic.

 

I was loving warned that the reason was that there is no way to root out apostasy on such sites. Please feel free to share your thoughts. Your comments are for my personal benefit, not to cause disunity or to stumble. Using decerment I would like to make a decision. 

 

Your brother,

Which site would that be. Facebook? Instagram? YouTube? Reddit? CNN? PBS? 

 

Besides jw.org, what websites does the Organization promote?

We have been given warnings about how dangerous it can be driving on the roads with all the road rage however, does that mean we should all quit driving?

 

We have been given warnings about associating with non-witnesses on the job - does that mean we should avoid talking to those we work with?

 

We have been cautioned about undue influence from non-witness relatives - does that mean we should cut off all association with our relatives?

 

Or, has the direction been to use caution while still driving, talking to our workmates and our relatives? Seems to me we have been told to use caution while using the Internet not that we shouldn't use it at all.

0.0125% is a very small number in the context of 9 billion internet users. I chose to not be paranoid about every interaction I have on the web
