Once heard a saying, “If you’re not active, you’re passive.”

The reason that JW’s and Mormons put Christians to shame is that they’re on the ground and encountering people with their faith (even if it’s grossly in error). Meanwhile, a good majority of Christians (a broad, generic term anyways) get far too comfortable (lazy!) in the practice of their faith because possibly at some point they were fed the lie of “to each their own” and not to really bother anyone by possibly offending them and what they believe.

The problem is, that’s not how Jesus operated in His ministry and it’s not what He has instructed believers to do.

While you may not agree with the original poster’s method of online evangelism, at least they’re trying to put the Gospel on full display by pointing out the doctrinal and historical errors of a growing, well funded religious group.

By saying “this doesn’t belong here”, I would hate to see what you would have said/done around Jesus when He gave public correction to those who misrepresented God.

If just one person sees any of these posts and comes into a saving knowledge of Christ, then it’s worth the hassle (and worth posting again when relevant).
