removetheturban: You people pick up one verse from a whole chapter and use it out of context. The passage was talking about Israelites. Rutherford had to assume the verse was referring to the cult he formed. Interesting. The early Christians were witnesses of Jesus Christ. I am a witness of Jesus Christ. |

Hairyrapunzel:Sir, why is Jesus called the faithful and true witness?? Rev. 3:14 |

Jozzy4: Isaiah 55 vs 11. So is my word that out from my mouth, It will not return empty etc etc... Meaning, any word God speaks, COMES TO manifestation. Hebrews 4 vs 12-God's word being quick, powerful (it means containing force, ability) and a DISCERNER (interestingly) of thought and intention. The word is described like a person rather than a speech. Speeches can't discern things.They are spoken. Its Persons, Beings that can discern. ACTIVE WORD OF GOD. Now see this... Exodus 32 to paraphrase, Israel, due to delay of Moses ,goes into idolatry. God is furious. Exodus 32 vs 10-13. God SAYS (He was talking and promising to do it in His anger) He is destroying everybody and will use Moses to start all over. AND MOSES IN VERSE 13 REMINDS GOD OF A COVENANT PROMISE---WORDS SPOKEN BY GOD to Abraham about the future possession by His people! God relents to do what He said He wanted to do,GIVEN RESPECT TO HIS covenant promise. ACTIVE WORD. He throws away a statement made in anger to REGARD AN EARLIER PROMISE. He relented from a literal statement out of anger for an active covenant declaration. You can talk nonsense "unscriptural invention" and all that. For every descent response, I gave detailed scripture. Silly thing. |

haywizzy007:Jesus is called the faithful and true witness because He is the faithful and true witness. I won't assume and make speculations sir. I know the answer you will give isn't in the Bible. It's always the normal speculations you guys make. Ask from here to there. It doesn't change the fact that the early Christians were Jesus Christ's witnesses and the bible referred to the Israelites as witnesses of Jehovah which Rutherford later assumed was a title for the cult he was leading. If you ask a question that the answer is also written in the Bible I will answer you. You can't bring up a question that your governing body formulated an answer to. An answer never seen or mentioned in the Bible. |

Hairyrapunzel:Sir, i would appreciate it if you can answer my question in full...Jesus Christ is the faithful and true witness of who? |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Hairyrapunzel: 6:02pm On Apr 18, 2018 |
haywizzy007: Did they say the person who Jesus Christ was the faithful and true witness of? Jesus Christ witnessed about Himself, john the Baptist witnessed about Him, Jesus said the Father will witness about Him, Christians are witnesses of Jesus What I know is that in the bible Israelites were called witnesses of Jehovah. Christians were called witnesses of Jesus. I didn't see any mention of any person whom Jesus was the faithful and true witness of in the Bible. So I can't answer your question. The Bible said the Amen was the faithful and true witness, and ruler of God's creation. You can ask from here to Jericho. The Bible is clear. Israelites were addressed as witnesses of Jehovah. Christians were called witnesses of Jesus. I am a witness of Jesus Christ. Do you have a problem with that? |

Hairyrapunzel:Sir, you are just being economical with the truth, maybe you don't fully understand the meaning of the word 'witness'. You can't be a witness in your own case, you either bear a witness about someone or an event. When Jesus walked the earth, he bore witness about the truth found in God's word. You can't change the truths found in God's word, Jesus Christ is a Jehovah's witness.(Rev. 1:5) and we are happy to be followers of Christ, when you bear witness about the father(Jehovah), you automatically bear witness about the son. John 3:16 You mentioned in your post that the father said he would bear witness about Jesus, i will appreciate it if you can establish that using the scriptures. Thank you. 1 Like |

haywizzy007:Jesus witnessed about himself John 8:18 "I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me." John 5:36 "But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish the very works that I do testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me. John 10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me. I said Jesus said the Father witnesses about Him. Revelation 1:5 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. where is the name of the person Jesus Christ is witnessing about in these passages you quoted? |

They're all now ashamed of their failed religious bodies that has proved to be extortioners and worthless in the test of time,all their trust in Popes,fathers,pastors and other religious leaders of their choice have been shamelessly misplaced so they're now coming after an organization solidly behind their own leaders! That's why they're claiming a fabricated imaginary Jesus who shouldn't have a firmly established group.What next will they say than to kick against all manners of virtuous deeds? Well just tell them we're Jehovah's witnesses and see how they're pained to the marrow because they can't just mention any reputable religion that match our organization. My brothers and sisters let's continue singing Jehovah's praise with courage because HIS words have come true! Isaiah 54:17, |

Octaves:Just imagine that,this one can't RECOMMEND his religion yet he's claiming he worships God acceptably! Where? How? Who are co~worshipers of your God? He can't answer! So he shamelessly came on social media to condemn all other religions just because his own has failed him! Well everybody will walk in the name of their God but as for US we'll walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever! Micah 4:5 Shameless worshippers of "dead gods" without visible groups, Isaiah rightly prophesied of you people.Isaiah 65:13/14 We know there is an ongoing famine for hearing the word of the true God(Amos 8:11) that's why you can't recommend any religious group that's feeding her members the unadulterated spiritual food but we're zealously recommending our own group publicly with full confidence, We are Jehovah's witnesses! 2 Likes |

Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 6:35am On Apr 20, 2018 |
salvation101:You're free to quote the curses for everyone to see,please let people see how one of Jehovah's witnesses cursed you. Mr temper control! All i could remember is someone who claims to have the Holy Spirit to discern if another person is lying against God and at the same time asking the LIAR if he's a BORN AGAIN Christian! To me such a person is certainly a "confused dullard" "Oponu Olodo" The word Born Again appeared once in the Bible Sir/Ma and Jesus was telling Nicodemus who came to acknowledge the truth at night to become courageous enough to do so publicly during day time. So if someone is hiding the truth or lyingly saying things against the scriptures even the worstest living fool should know that such a person can never be a "Born again" not to talk of adding Christian to it.Mr/Mrs salvation101 We're Jehovah's witnesses please Jehovah and Jesus don't want cowards or dullards in the midst of those practicing pure worship! |

Riofidelio: Are you Jesus? Why don't you Leave it for Jesus Christ to decide? Who made you his mouthpiece here on earth? Kids will be kids. They can laugh at anything it's allowed. No wonder your gb has suppressed you peoples thinking ability to that of kids. That's why you know it's only kid's that will burst into laughter. You don't even know how adults will react. See somebody calling someone oponu olodo. Rotflol |

salvation101:If it's "just another religion" then why are you so concerned about what's happening in our midst? "Who are Jehovah's witnesses?" is the question and you've said what you think about JWs.Please just stop commenting on this because the more you do your stupidity keeps becoming more obvious! "Asking a person you already confirmed(by the power of the Holy Spirit conferred on you)as a LIAR if he/she is Born again!" Abeg go and learn how to ask thought provoking and leading questions from a charge and bail lawyer, i'm sure he/she won't ask for money from you! |

You can comment on another topic or better still change the subject but trying to say you're right for asking someone you yourself confirmed is a LIAR by the discernment of the Holy Spirit in you if such LIAR is Born Again is nothing but STUPIDITY! 2 Likes |

salvation101:What you should have asked is "what is the meaning of Born Again?" and allow for response from different individuals practicing different religions then you'll see clearly what most of your people termed as Born Again! Then you'll know how to identify those who belong to that class by carefully meditating on various definitions.Please i'm begging you for God's sake and for the sanctification of HIS mightiness to drop this case because it's an insult on Christianity! 2 Likes |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by xaggar(m): 10:34am On Apr 21, 2018 |
To them... Born again is "simply" those who come forward when an alter call is made for repentance. Usually these persons (that come forward) may be asked to do so while the eyes of others (the congregants) are requested to be shut so the Repenter don't feel ashamed. The Repenter is then asked to repeat after me, (me is actually the pastor)... And then, the Repenter is declared born again. After that, the Repenter is told to wait after service to see the pastor. Unless they've changed their style now. |
