1. How could others test our loyalty to Jehovah?

Some people will try to prevent us from serving Jehovah. Who would do such a thing? Some who have left the truth tell lies about God’s organization in order to destroy our faith. They are called apostates. Also, some religious leaders spread false information about us to cause unsuspecting ones to leave the truth. It is dangerous for us to argue with any opposers, to read their books or blogs, to go to their websites, or to watch their videos. Regarding those who try to discourage others from loyally serving Jehovah, Jesus said: “Let them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”​—Matthew 15:14.

3. Beware of false teachers

How should we react if we hear negative things about Jehovah’s organization? Read Proverbs 14:15, and then discuss this question:

• Why are we careful not to believe everything we hear?

Read 2 John 9-11, and then discuss these questions:

• How should we treat apostates?

• Even if we do not interact directly with apostates, how could we come into contact with their teachings?

• How do you think Jehovah would feel if we were to pay attention to negative speech about him or his organization?
