Not everyone's faith is strong enough to handle the statements made by many of the apostates here that will test one's faith, that will let people know if their faith in God is weak or strong, so I spoke about "faith in God," so when examining the context of my statement, I was referring to how one's faith in God would be tested by virtue of the way they handle many of the [statements] made by many of the apostates here on JWN. If anyone is putting their faith in the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, in the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, in any of the local elders that preside over the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide or in anyone else associated with Jehovah's Witnesses instead of putting their faith in God and in the one who gave his life "as a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28), their faith is in vain for there is absolutely no other "name under heaven ... by which we must get saved." (Acts 4:12)

I'm sorry that you feel this way, but I am speaking to a much larger audience than just you. IMO, there is absolutely nothing stupid about God's word.
here i will try to make your point for you:
Hey 3dogs1husband I was referring to how one's faith in God would be tested by virtue of the way they handle many of the statement made by many of the apostates here on JWN. I know the Bible teaches. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I make adroit use of the Bible when teaching others. You may view such warnings provided by Jehovah's Witnesses as "mind control," and you are certainly free to reject the notion that a statement or an idea can destroy an individual's faith. Jesus warned that his disciples need to pay attention to how they listen, for if they don't pay attention, then even what faith they might imagine they have will be taken away is what he said. (Luke 8:18) The fact that I'm here ought to inform you that JWN is not an apostate website.
You cannot make my point for me. You erroneously thought that I was only speaking to you when I posted my response to your message. I wasn't. I was using your post to primarily speak to the lurkers that may have shared many of the sentiments you had expressed in your message. JWN happens to have an international reach. I'm sure you noticed the many scriptures cited in my message. I prefer using the Bible to speak, so I will typically quote from the Bible when responding to the messages here, so that it is clear who it is that is really speaking.
I am however not available for further editing. If that is the [gist] of what you were trying to say....
Your rewrite of what I had posted is unacceptable substitute for what I actually did say in my previous message. I really don't need help expressing my thoughts to you or to the others lurking this thread, but thanks anyway.
