They are closing down a building, not a Church. Your home can be a place of worship, can't you relocate. What they did makes a lot of sense. I hope Nigerian Churches can adopt the same style, unfortunately, the greed, pride, and selfishness of our G.O's won't allow that to happen. They want to brag in their messages how they open 1000 Churches in 6 mths. Once those Churches have similar doctrines, I see no reason not to merge.

Expect more of this in advanced nations. Instead of having 5 Churches in a street and each having a few members, merge them together instead of wasting resources to run 5 Churches. Maybe the remaining 4 can be used to house homeless ppl.

Origin:
A place of worship should always be open even if it has declining membership...

It still is a place of reflection, a place to experience peace of mind and a sanctuary...

I beg leave it open!

JW have been using other avenues to preach because of the Corona virus pandemic. They have been zealously preaching as usual through letter writing, phone calls and other avenues that may not be face-to-face contact publicly.
Imagine if they have been going out as usual, the world will stand up against them and condemn them saying they are the one spreading the virus. But in the face of pandemics, they have continued to wax stronger.

Which sword did you think Jesus was referring to? Muslims Una too mumu sha, just pick one line from the Bible and they start acting stupidly about it, but yet they will always use the Bible to validate their Quran when it favours them.. Remember same Jesus told Peter to shield his sword when they came to capture him, if Jesus needed an army, with his miracles he could have staged a Jihad like non has ever seen because he had loyal followers who saw and trusted his wonders, unlike you fake prophet who lives all his life to pleasure himself with sex and living like a God on earth, taking slaves up and down... The foundation of Islam is shaky even right from MOHAMMED and the only way to sell it was through propaganda and brutal violence and to make sure the people are trapped for life, there is a death sentence for apostasy (when you convert away from Islam).... Do you even know if I was once a Muslim? Remove sentiment from your write-ups, open your heart willingly and study the lifestyle of MOHAMMED and tell me what you come up with...

We began going from house to house since the year 1919, 2019 marked a century of our global campaign for God's Kingdom then COVID-19 came.
Only JEHOVAH knows why things happened that way but we are still preaching zealously and industriously teaching using other means since we're no longer allowed to speak with people face to face due to the pandemic.

We are still making disciples and baptizing them as Jesus commanded us! Matthew 28:19-20

Would you like a free Bible study with us? we can conduct the study with you through phone calls, WhatsApp, zoom or other means. smiley

As for now we are awaiting the order from our King as what we started in 1919 was halted in 2019 due to COVID-19.

May you have PEACE! smiley

No matter how many times you slammed your head, your prophet said you're made for hell!!!

Your Hadith said,. Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Allah created Adam when He had to create him and He struck his right shoulder and there emitted from it white offspring as if they were white ants. He struck his left shoulder and there emitted from it the black offspring as if they were charcoal. He then said (to those who had been emitted) from the right (shoulder): For Paradise and I do not mind. Then He said to those (who had been emitted) from his left shoulder: They are for Hell and I do not mind.

Location maybe another reason
Many people have moved to the city
The only sensible comment here. I was in Budapest some years back. Budapest is a name given to 2 cities combined...Buda and Pest. Most of their buildings were 200 years old, some even far older than that with very scanty people living there. On our tour of the old city, I asked why it was so and I learnt that those empty edifices were once occupied by the big and mighty in that country but the new generation relocated to build modern cities elsewhere and if you see this modern place, it's so crowded and there were massive cathedrals there. That was where I lodged. I lodged in Best Western Hungariala. Google it.

If a new generation church could buy the old PA church, maybe it would make a difference. This story also teaches us all that nothing lasts forever. Here in Nigeria,there are places like such as well.

MaxInDHouse:


These are sacred secrets that billions living now don't know but when you are humble and obedient from the heart it will be easy for you to know so many secrets then salvation will be at your fingertips {Zephaniah 2:2-3} the problem most people have is they don't trust anyone and without trust nobody can worship God acceptably because the word BELIEVE in itself connotes TRUST.
FAITH is the assured expectations of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities even though not beheld {Hebrews 11:1} so before you can have real faith you must know what is God's plan for mankind in general (God's will) that will help you to be fully convinced to participate in playing your part. False religion has misled many into thinking that God's will means what each person has been destined to become in life but that's not true Satan is the one promoting such ideas because with such misconception in the hearts of people each person will become desperate, and try to imagine how you will feel when someone becomes so wealthy to the point of oppressing the less privileged, then someone said "that's God's will"

NO! God's will has nothing to do with riches because if things should go the way God planned it from the beginning, everyone as in each family supposed to be equally rich and no family should be richer or poorer, that's what can promote LOVE, JOY and PEACE {Galatians 5:22} Satan is the one promoting unequal distribution of wealth leading to INIQUITY, that's why Jesus called Satan "the ruler of this world" {John 14:30 compare to 2Corinthians 4:4; 1John 5:19} the only solution to mankind's problem is God's own system of distribution, that's why Jesus asked us to keep praying for God's Kingdom (system of rule) to come in order for God's will (equal distribution of wealth) become a reality! Matthew 6:10

I asked a question in the last post:
Will you like to know how Jesus restructured his group today?
Many critics finds it really difficult to believe that a mighty spirit King arrived this planet some 107 years ago and has been gathering his subjects under one umbrella. What most people keep anticipating is a group of perfect humans so they are having the misconception that if truly God has his own worshipers such a group should be filled with perfect humans.
But is that factual? NO! Because God's word says:
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23 this means no human can be perfect for now because we have all inherited sin {Romans 5:12} unlike Jesus who was born without sin we can't be perfect. Does that mean there can't be a group of people practicing pure worship? NO! Because God promised that He will use His Holy Spirit to gather obedient people throughout the earth under one umbrella and they will become like one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
But each of them is still suffering from imperfection so when you watch them closely you will notice the imperfection in the.
So how can a honest hearted and sincere observe distinguish between the group practicing pure worship and groups practicing false religion?
Jesus said:
"By their FRUITS you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit" Matthew 7:16-18
This means despite our imperfect state their is a certain FRUIT that's expected of a group of imperfect humans before the true God approves their worship. According to God's word if a group of imperfect humans gets things right the Holy Spirit will dwell in their midst so despite the imperfect condition of each individual that form the group God's Holy Spirit will organize them and make them do things orderly, therefore when you look at them as individuals you will see their flaws but when you look at them as a body (group) you'll see all these qualities: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL! Galatians 5:22-23
This is the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit not that of imperfection so just as a perfect ruler will make a perfect community when all the subjects are OBEDIENT, God is ruling in the midst of His imperfect but OBEDIENT people known as Jehovah's Witnesses.
So critics will tell you something bad they saw or heard that a member of JW did because he/she is in the flesh just like everyone out there. But as a group there is no LAW anyone can state against them:

AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW! Galatians 5:23

Will you like to know how Jesus restructured his group in the early part of the twentieth century? smiley


I know a lot about JW , I know a lot of them that live fake life of christians .They will be among the First people to know the latest secular music , preaching is just a requirement For most, not because they love God.. more worldly than people they try to convert.
