I have an ethical problem writing posts about individual posters. I find such be to an invitation for personal attacks, bullying, and makes the thread about that person rather than the topic at hand. So I will reply to your post in general terms instead.
Yes, I have spent my entire life dealing with lie-tellers and persecution. But I do not require "defending", and I very much object to such. I and my beliefs stand to be judged by God, not mortals on an internet forum. If someone wants to listen and get their facts straight, I'm thrilled to oblige. And when I see false information out there, I do offer that invitation. But if someone would rather believe false information, that's between them and God, and my only job to forgive them for their trespasses and move on. It's not my job to "defend the truth"-- truth stands for itself.
All of this applies not only to me, but to everyone else too. Same with every organization on the earth. No one needs to "defend" Christ's true church-- truth stands for itself. And I'm not going to loose sleep that some folks would rather believe lies or persecute it-- that's exactly what Christ said would happen.
