Because your sentence made no sense to me without the word "with". You really are posting quite hatefully this evening. Consider tempering your posts?

You admit you falsely attributed a word to me to make what I did write appear different. Rather than repent and apologize you blame me and claim I am "really are posting quite hatefully this evening."

I don't really believe all the claims people make are true and complete. I think about them to weigh the credibility thereof. For example, the claims to belong to nondenominational Bible based assemblies that have no denominational or group affiliation beg the question as to who founded the church and which Bible colleges the pastor(s) attended. I know there is a business aspect and much thought goes into image and marketing. These assemblies come from somewhere though.

Please do not fret over our local assembly of Christians nor be fearful for us.

You have problems enough within your own RCC that require concern and your immediate attention.

AF: If people are shy, embarrassed, secretive, ashamed, or just unwilling to honestly share the group they think is a genuine church and with whom they assemble to share their faith, it makes me wonder why the bother attacking Catholics and their faith, which happens here every day.

RSTZ: ...honestly share (with) the group...

Hello; it was inserted parenthetically, a COMMON usage to clarify what was said.

Modifying Quotations:

Normally you quote using the author's exact words. There are several occasions when you might wish to modify the quotation.

1. If the quotation is very long, you can shorten it by replacing unnecessary words or phrases with three periods, known as ellipsis. Placing square brackets around the ellipsis, for example [. . .], makes it clear that you have eliminated something. See the example above, under "Block Quotations."

2. Sometimes when you quote, you must insert a word or two to clarify the quotation or to make it grammatically correct:

Nurse Rosanna recalls that "while she [Dolan's sister] spoke she reached for the silver locket around her neck" (Rimini 384).

3. Rare: If you want to emphasize particular words or phrases within a quotation, use italics and then in square brackets write [emphasis added]. For example,

Gorn doesn't pull any punches with regard to Ambrose's mistakes:

Not only does his [Ambrose's] practice violate universally accepted canons of historical scholarship, but most professors would routinely fail any student who so casually adopted it. [emphasis added] (B10)

You would not put [emphasis added] if the original text was italicized. In fact, if the source you are quoting does include bold or italic text, it is best to put [emphasis in the original] to make sure the reader knows you didn't add any.
