Witness,

"Why anyone vigorously defend an ant mound?" Good question. Doing that is a stupid waste of energy and a distraction from the tasks God has actually told us to do. Arguing over WO isn't one of them.

You speak of teaching truth. Why would anyone want to know truth if it is presented in a repulsive manner by people whose snobbish and egotistical attitude leads them to demand that others submit to them without a hint of God's love to be found anywhere in it? That isn't how Jesus taught, but is the spirit of Satan so you should not be surprised so many youth are leaving the church. 

You speak of teaching the ways of Jesus. If you want to persuade me to accept your views, I suggest you begin studying and modeling the teaching method of Jesus. Stop arguing, speak specifics instead of riddles and let Him replace your spiritual egotism with words that draw people to Him instead of driving them away.
