One could avoid their faith being polluted as you say here or anywhere by avoidance but that won't stop it happening to them or others.

Some faiths have separate themselves to avoid so much they live, marry and work in mostly one community setting and rarely leave it. I have to say it's no guarantee that even that stops apostate influences. The resistance, or those who go that far will fight tooth and nail to keep people right where they are. Because change is risky, and where they belief they are safe that way.Keeping a flock together is not a bad thing, boxing them in could be

It's good advise to watch one's time. And how much one is digesting of certain elements.The Internet itself is addicting in ways. Where people do things they wouldn't ordinary do. Say things that aren't truth. Speak from emotions rather than truth or reason.

It's broken up families, you see problems in courts, schools and doctor's offices. Friendships have ended from abuse of it. And some who never admit the negative affects on them. They put on good masks. The net is a wonderful tool but it can be abused and is often.

Of those who do pay attention to you even the small amount if that is all you can give will be inspired, and they will envy your determination against so many who's sole purpose seems to discredit you in as many posts as possible. . No joke. Some have been inspired.

Five-million-plus people watch The Biggest Loser each week. Are they doing it for laughs? No, they watch because it motivates them, even if they never take action. How determine some are to go against very unpleasant trials and people issues.

When people see you working hard, studying and answering questions biblical and well, it reminds them that somewhere, they’ve got that fight in them too. Without realizing it, even if you’re doing this only a bit but remaining truthful, you become a leader by example. Some people are drawn to that.

I know, it feels like everyone’s watching you, judging you. But trust me: some are cheering for you too. And others with their terrible actions are turning them more away-- I mean who wants to be like them?

I just answered someone attacking you, slyly, and that is what they were doing. I'll read anything till it comes to a point it's nonsense enough that I don't bother anymore. And look she/he is right here. Hello Me, you closed that fast after I answered. How's the body guarding going? Good I won't be talking behind you than. I rarely do, I doubt you can say the same. The posts tells that since you seem to know so much of someone and a one sided view it seems. I can see the post was not on the up and up. And I have see some of the posters enough to know they aren't. I don't answer all nor do I care too, depends on my mood. And I am not here like I once was in the beginning my points are there and I have no desire to just rack up more. Thumbs don't bother me neither. I'm free in a way to say what I truly feel and take the best of what I see and have a little fun too now and than. This is where the net gets out of hand for some. Some can not stand ideas not of their belief or have some issues of their own they aren't working on. And they certainly get upset if someone brings up something they seem to have ignored. Yes, it is indeed sad to see how far some will go. And trust me as much you can not knowing me, others do see it as well.

"new ones keep popping up. And the old ones open new accounts to trick people." People cheat. It's that's way on many forums. Again I agree, Yes, it is indeed sad

Best wishes on your balancing-we all need that in all faiths and be reminded at times. It's up to you what you want to take in and trash for good
