"I wanted to reassure you that I am a Jehovah's Witness and one with a good standing." That is what a deceptive apostate would likely say too; isn't it? So I guess the best thing to do would be to let our Bible train consciences be active (Question From Readers about websites in the April 2018 Study Watchtower).
==Proverbs 20:11== - 11Even a child* is known by his actions, Whether his behavior is pure and right.+
==Matthew 7:16-18== - 16By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they?+ 17 Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit.+ 18A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit.+
==Matthew 12:33== 
- 33“Either you make the tree fine and its fruit fine or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for by its fruit the tree is known.+
==Luke 6:43-45== 
- 43“For no fine tree produces rotten fruit, and no rotten tree produces fine fruit.+ 44 For each tree is known by its own fruit.+ For example, people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they cut grapes off a thornbush. 45A good man brings good out of the good treasure of his heart, but a wicked man brings what is wicked out of his wicked treasure; for out of the heart’s abundance his mouth speaks.+

¶ 2 If our counsel to others is based simply on our own conscience or opinion, we are bound to mislead them. Even if we try to counsel altogether according to the Bible, we must be sure that we have the right understanding, not mere conjecture or a privately held view. When a person accepts counsel based just on another’s conscience or opinion and puts it into effect, it is of little benefit to him. It may even cause much damage. Why? Because he is not acting at the direction of his own conscience. For, “indeed, everything that is not out of faith is sin.”—Rom. 14:23.
==w78 3/15 p. 21== 
¶ 15 What a person does should be something that in no way makes his conscience uncomfortable. If his conscience is bothered, he is self-condemned.
==w72 9/15 p. 564 
¶ 11== Even if the conscience of a person is overly restrictive, no one should presume to override that conscience or try to argue the person into going against it. As the apostle’s corresponding discussion in his letter to the Romans shows, if a person were to eat meat while having doubts as to the rightness of the act, “he is already condemned... because he does not eat out of faith.” The Christian who acts according to faith has a clean conscience; but if he acts without faith that what he is doing is proper, then his conscience is not clean, for, though feeling that the act is contrary to God’s will, he does it anyway.—Rom. 14:5, 14, 23.
==Romans 14:5== 
5One man judges one day as above another;+ another judges one day the same as all others;+ let each one be fully convinced in his own mind.
==Romans 14:14== 
14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself;+only where a man considers something to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
==Romans 14:23 23== 
But if he has doubts, he is already condemned if he eats, because he does not eat based on faith. Indeed, everything that is not based on faith is sin.
