here is Trishaltha 2001's comment:
"What I actually asked is why are Witnesses answering questions of obvious apostates? Not just disfellowshipped.
You can be disfellowshipped, ( I once was), and not be an apostate. An apostate will not repent and instead spend their time trying to stop honest-hearted ones from learning the truth.
And if we are obedient to Jehovah's arrangement we will not have contact with any that are disfellowshipped either. It is Jehovah's form of discipline, a time out, if you will, to adjust ones way of living and choose whether or not you will uphold Jehovah's standards. But again, an apostate will Not come back or repent.
Everytime we engage an apostates question,or debate with them we show disloyalty to Jehovah and our brothers and sisters. It is designed to decieve and divide us.
Since so many of you can't seem to identify, or don't bother to look closer at the questions, here is a list of suspects to avoid:

2.Unsilence

They either are openly apostate or openly have supported apostate views. Stop responding to their baited questions.They are united in their plotting to bait us, and we need to be united at ignoring them.
This is just the few I have detected, but by no means can be all, so "Be on the watch" and let us know when you spot another. "Oppose the Devil and he will flee from you."
We don't oppose by falling into the trap of engaging an apostate,we oppose by loyally listening to our Shepherd and seeking out honesthearted ones. Agape' Tirshatha
Now that they have been identified they are likely to quickly change their names, but their objective won't, their tactics may as well, becoming more subtle in the way they put their questions out or being empathetic as Curly Sue has tried.

If you can't discern then avoid questions that trigger debates.
Read all of the answers before posting one yourself,and read the additional details of the question as it gets responses and see how they end up on the attack.
I have all these blocked,obviously.

AWWW. Don't feel bad, y'all. I don't know how they ever missed me! Geez. I get sick for a week and I'm forgotten. Not fair.
I will say that at least this Trisha person is honest in expressing her views of apostates. however, she is completely misinformed on a couple of points. First of all, some on her list, I have spoken to outside of YA and I know that they are born again Christians who never were JWs. They are only interested in Biblical truth.
Secondly, and most importantly, is that Trisha, like all other JWs is entirely misinformed on the meaning of "apostate". For a good definition, let's all consult the Apostle Paul's description in 2 Corinthians 11: 3, 4, where we will find that the apostate is the person who preaches another Gospel and another Jesus other than what the apostles preached. Now, may I point out, that the apostles never preached that Jesus was Michael the arch-angel, nor did any of them teach a gospel of works rather than of grace.
Therefore, anyone who teaches such opposing views is the true apostate. So, any of you JWs who have left the true body of Christ to subscribe to such perversions are the true apostates, not those who left the perverted WT gospel for the real truth of God's word that is in harmony with what the apostles taught.

You know, in order to be an APOSTATE don't you have to have been an actual member?
I've never been a member--oh well, I'm part of a new club--(drum roll please)
"THE APOSTATE CLUB"
Where the real TRUTH OF GOD REIGNS.
WOOHOOO!
(stentorian applause)
(all of us taking a bow)
Now, now--let's none of us break our arms patting ourselves on the back--we have the real kingdom work to do. Exposing the evil and rejoicing in the Lord.
1 Peter 2:9, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
Ephesians 5:13, "But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light."

CRIES AND CRIES.... I didn't make her list, but someone below my answer added me and steinbeck11!! I feel great now!!!!!
please go to the question and vote for some REAL answer and not some cult mindless dribble. Personally I like # 22's answer, wink wink.
EDIT: Has anyone noticed that you can't view that question "at this time" hmm, wonder what community rule it broke??? Should the elders be informed of their violation of rules, there's going to be alot of judicial committees formed on this one...lol
God bless you all for your continued ministry in behalf of the true God and his true means for our salvation!
SECOND EDIT:
I have an idea, let's ALL change our names to something like this:
APOSTATE Carol D
APOSTATE Unsilenced Lamb
APOSTATE Pedi C
APOSTATE#144,001
etc etc etc
Wouldn't THAT blow their minds!!!

Dear TOP CONTRIBUTOR Unsilenced Lamb,
Hugs to you all!
The wonderful answers you've received on this one make me think of Elijah's Show Down at Mount Carmel. If you aren't familiar with it you will find it in 1 Kings 18.
For His glory,

Silly little girl! I won't be changing my name. I no longer ask JW's questions because I no longer wish to hear the 'party line' as an answer to a spiritual question. However, I will answer their questions, unless of course they are all so frightened of hearing the truth that they block us. If they can't stand the heat they should get out of the kitchen.
A big welcome to STeinbeck 11 and Suzanne!!

I'm a little disappointed that I'm not on there at all... unless she is only talking about former JW's, which I am not... I would be proud to be on a list of people that openly disagrees with JW doctrine... Oh well, I'll try harder... Maybe she'll notice me for next year's nominations.
