Hip hip horee!
One scripture they should apply to themselves is those who say "peace and security" are marked with destruction. It is they who say God will deliver them to paradise but destroy all the others.
A second scripture they should apply to themselves is "in the last days comes mockers with their mockery". It is they who imitate the Jews' obedience to law instead of staying with freedom.
The third one is "bad associations spoil useful habits". People are not bad associations. Jesus ate with them. He went into their homes. What 1 Corinthians 15:33 means is what they do. "Bad associations" or more correctly "bad communications" ruins a person's attempt at reflecting The God of Righteousness. It means to be in serious error about just one thing of The Word will spoil a person's credibility about all the other things because a little leaven ferments the whole lump.
There is a forth one. They say "do not forsake gathering together" means to be in person with others who worship God Jehovah the correct way (according to them). What it actually means is a warning to not give up doing fine works just because 1. you might feel all alone 2. you might not appreciate other seekers 3. you might be critical of other's progress and 4. you might wonder if it isn't real.
