Hi Last page:

Without sounding all official, I will like to commend your writing this post. I am very wary of commenting on Nairaland because I find the comments too hostile However I have found this comments very mature. To clear the air I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I feel like I should take a bit more time to really answer some of the questions here but I don't really have the luxury of time.

Just a bit of background to myself: I came to know about the Jehovah's Witness faith from my grand parents. My mum didn't really take to it and my father was never one of JW's. They did allow us to go whilst we were younger to the meetings and to have a Bible Study with them. Like you say from the age of 6 I could really speak up about my faith and my forays into professional public speaking began from there. However as I grew up I found quite a number of things confusing and to cut a long story short at about 20 years of age I had to do some thorough research into the subject of religion as a whole. During this time I had become an inactive witness(about 3 years). I really took my time to study their faiths objectively and resolved afterwards to be a dedicated and committed witness.

One subject I found very troubling was the issue of the 144,000. I couldn't get this for a while but it didn't stop me from becoming a baptized witness because I felt that even Jesus disciples didn't always understand everything Jesus said and did but still followed him. In some cases they only understood matters clearly after Jesus left the earth.

One illustration that has helped me with the issue of the 144,000 is that of today's government. We have 1 president and a number of Ministers and advisers. Not all Nigerians can be in the Government and not all need to be. What is the criteria for selection? Well a number of factors not necessarily that they are the best in that particular field. With a responsible government we trust the judgement of it's helmsman. God has done a similar thing in first appointing his son as King of the Kingdom. To rule with him are humans who have been bought from the earth to rule with him as kings. Their varied experiences and varied geographical location and different personality will come to bear in Jesus Government. Take note that the scriptures in Revelation 5 says that this people have been bought from the earth to rule as kings and priests. Note though that your belief in this arrangement is dependent on your first believing that humans will inherit the earth forever.

I know I have really not done justice to this because of time and I have definitely not included specific scriptures because I don't have a bible with me here. Feel free to ask any specific questions and I should be able to answer them better in the future.

Cheers,

K

Hi Thatboy:

Hi HailTopsy:

Thanks very much for the details.

I have already started work on the registration side of things using the services of a lawyer, however your advice on the relevant tools needed were valuable.

You mentioned the possibility of other NGO's that might be able to nurture something like this. Would you mind dropping me a few details on ken.okolo@engage-skills.com? Also will like to know more about your NGO and perhaps ways we might be able to work together.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Ken

@Nat138: Thanks for the advice. Will be definitely needing a lot of youth volunteers. We will be running a peer motivators scheme where young people will volunteer time to help other young people on our courses. Obviously we will care for all their necessary expenses incurred in doing so plus they get a UK OCN level 2 accreditation whilst doing it. As regards the name of the individual at the CAC can you please forward me his details to: ken.okolo@engage-skills.com? We will be setting first in Lagos though and then Abuja.

@Pastee: I will give them a call today. Thanks for providing that information!

Thanks BizCoach! That seems to be the general feeling that I would need a lawyer. I will be contacting one shortly who helped to set up the Nigerian office of a UK university.

Thanks very much for your very kind assistance!

Ken

Wow Ayo!

I thought about your post for quite a while in terms of what to say in reply and I concluded well maybe it doesn't really deserve a reply.

Have a good day.

Ken

PS: Just so you know the courses will be run for free for young people.

Hey Ayo:

Thanks very much for your advice. It is a very strong charity based in Tower Hamlets in London and running quality educational programmes for young people accros London and in more recent times in several cities in the UK. I actually worked for them as a project coordinator in London for about 2 years so I know first hand the impact that their work can have on the young people. I think a key aspect of my work with this charity here will be transparency and genuine interest in helping young people in Nigeria. I will email you a list of some of the courses we will be churning out as soon as we start.

Thanks for your encouraging words once again. I will keep you posted.

Kind Regards,

Ken

Thanks Emmy Boy!
