While this topic is about strawmen arguments. I found it ironic that people on here do not accept that they themselves use them, often misdirecting a topic with them? anyone honest enough to admit their usage on these forums against witnesses?
Hi Its me
You opinion and conscience Tell you that you now consider yourself and apostate on an apostate site...think about the consequences of that position for a minute.
Thank you for clarifying your point, Demon possession itself suggests a lack of freewill but since Satan is the "ruler of the air" showing this whole world lies under his influence and so many things could be used as things influenced by him, including most forms of entertainment. You assumed he meant demon possesion when more in line with Jw teaching, is that we consider Satan's influence more likely when people still have the choice in themselves like with entertainment, internet, recreation etc where they need to show due care and attention rather than total avoidance which is impossible while we live in satan's world.
Hi Peacedog
I have no interest in peeking at proganda and actively avoid web pages like Jwfacts.com or 4Jehovah.com that is a trinitarian site designed to draw in ex-JWs that are fine examples of propaganda in their bias. But putting up a defense of witnesses for the People on a public forum that I know a lot are not apostates and need to see how heavily biased some opinions are on here, is for me worthwhile. but it is a personal conscience thing. There is no getting past that witnesses as a whole are a self-regulating religion for each individual against God's teachings. Warnings are given to make sure we understand Biblical principles but we have to put them into practice ourselves personally. Public rebuke cannot cover everything.
