As I wrote in the article, I do not agree with them one hundred percent. Meanwhile, do you know of any Christian denomination with a perfect doctrine? Please respond

The issue of religion and doctrine is very sensitive. Because we are all human with different understanding and certain level of bias, views would always differ. Your perfection might not stand another’s scrutiny.

You may be right but are all these peculiar to only the Jehovah’s Witnesses? Mention any denomination devoid of these things you have alleged.
It's peculiar to all Christian,Muslims, Hindus, and all other religion.
The problem is they should stop pretending to be the best morally well behaved Christian' just like the OP is trying to whitewash it to be when they are clearly not.

The Bible says, “Bring all the tithe into the store house so that they may be food in my house”

You can deduce from the above Bible verse that the sole purpose of tithing is members' welfare, not church growth.

By the way, you sound like one of these Pentecostal pastors. Are you?

Who said that in the Bible?
Paul?

when you speak about them the "very few good one among them" will think you are lying.
I said very few because the majority are bad I mean very bad.
I have them as friends and I dated two jw ladies too.
They believe anything should be easily forgiven that's why they behave like that.
They can steal from you, cheat on you, refuse to pay their debt, go diabolic and expect you to forgive because that's what the Bible says.
They can back up anything with Bible quote.
I have a friend among them who doesn't miss meetings, yet he was fuvking mother and daughter, divorced female members because he was a very good looking guy..

It is only someone that hasn't had a very close relationship with them or someone who has never been a JW that is easily tricked by their outward appearance. Is that not why the Bible says that Satan transforms himself to look like an Angel of Light? I know JWs like the back of my hand. All the good, bad and Ugly, I know. Like you said, there are very few good JWS. Those are the JWs that eventually leave the Cult because to be a good JW you must have multiple personalities that you can switch depending on who you are with, you must have your Brain damaged, your conscience distorted and your morals damaged. The rest have very horrible personalities. When you see them, you will know. I have many stories about their dirty lifestyle they hide. The more they are devoted to the Cult, the more horrible their personalities become.

I appreciate your submission but you are not entirely correct. Especially the below:

“Do you know that the religion teaches that Christ did not die for the Sins of all mankind but he died for just 144,000 persons known as the anointed ones”.

Most JW don't know this doctrine including elders. I didn't believe it until i went to their website and saw it. Maybe the have changed it but i saw it on their website about two years ago. I will search for the link and post it if the doctrine has not changed. (JW DOCTRINES CHANGE ANYTIME THEY RECIEVE NEW LIGHT)

The doctrine hasn't changed. You will still see it in their website. Immediately I saw that doctrine I knew that JW have a very big problem with Jesus which is a sign of an Antichrist.

I developed these feelings when I was 7 years old. Why didn't my parents want us to play at the neighborhood houses of those not in our congregation,

But were okay with us visiting distant Jehovah's Witnesses? Mom said, "Bad associations spoil good habits." These people were considered bad

Associations because they weren't part of us. We only visited them for Bible study and to preach. Jehovah's Witnesses and other Christian groups have spread more hatred than love. So, I left that association and chose humanity over religion.

Facts! It is a Cult. To make matters worse, they also created their own version of the Bible with distorted verses to suit their doctrines. Any Bible verse they didn't like that doesn't align with their doctrines, they either scatter it, rearrange the verse or add or remove words to change the message of the verse. Proof of this is below.

Like someone else mentioned, shunning. They create a support system, make members dependent on it and view everything else as dirty and undesirable. In order to fully control the unfortunate followers they dangle this like a carrot they can withdraw at any time to ensure full obedience.

Jehovah witness are bunch of hypocrites. Very criminal minded people not different from unbelievers. They are Masters of deception don't be fooled.
They are very much engrossed in the secular world now that their girls are into runs and boys into Yahoo.
The grown men are all over social media looking for a white or American JW to marry and escape poverty.
I have come across a lot of these criminal minded JW from the ones who stole their boss money and ran away, the ones who fled with people's money, the young girls doing runs, the divorced women and men fvcking their young members and people's wives a whole lot. grin grin grin
Jehovah witness is a sect masquerading as Christian's while also operating like a secret society.
Go away with your bitterness. Op wrote base on his experience,not hearsay,who are you to disapprove his findings?

Which cult?which threat of punishment, people who dnt believe God will punish sinners with everlasting torment in hellfire.
People who don't go to war... believe in peace.

Don't let good behaviour deceive, as long as they do not regard Jesus nature as God also in essence, aside from his humanity, they are a cult.


As long as they do not believe that Jesus is eternal and he shared the same nature with the Father before the world, then they are a cult



Eternal life is knowing the true God and Jesus who was sent into the world. No one has seen God except the Son. The Son is one with the father.

You will lose your respect for them once you read the thread below. Their outward appearance is to lure you in so that when you join them, you can't Leave! It is taboo to question and It is a Taboo to leave the Cult. It is by design. They have a separate personality they show to you that is different from the personality they show when no one is looking. Also, research their Doctrines, their Founder, their False prophecies and the Scandals They are battling. Various governments have banned them and have deregistered their Cult for their policies regarding Child Sexual abuse and disfellowshipping. Google Jehovah's Witnesses and Child Sexual Abuse. They are also losing many members in many countries leading to sales of many Kingdom halls, assembly halls and Bethel branches. The Cult is dying because JWs are waking up and leaving. The internet is exposing so many things about them that they hide from their members. And there are too many testimonies exposing their Occultic practices. Jehovah's witnesses is a Masonic Cult masquerading as a Christian one to mislead many.

No they are not widely misunderstood. Many know them as wolves in sheep clothing. Their members on nairaland come to insult and abuse people who don't dance to their religious tune, they disrespect any other Christian religious denominations calling them false Christians because they are simply not Jehovah’s witnesses grin grin but when they knock your doors they call you Christian friends why not call you false Christians friends grin grin grin



You cannot, while still on the outside you cannot agree with them, what happens when you are on the inside? You will be kicked out and called apostates, gas lighted, called mentally diseased for choosing to do the right thing grin




What is there in the subject of trinity and tithing that removes love of God and neighbours? Do you have to believe tithing and trinity to know what to do regarding love of God and neighbour.



You are not the only one to tell us you respect them. Many cannot say same for their members here on this platform not to talk elsewhere. grin grin

These are all your main points while you respect them ....



Your eyes see what you want it to see. grin Come with stats let's see how well they do when compared with others. Dem sell outward conformity and unity in lies as civility, biblical knowledge, evangelism and devotion grin grin

Serious cult. Other Christian denomination do not disown their children if they choose to worship in other churches cos we believe God is one and there is freedom of worship. But u see JW, they are extremists to the core. They said celebrating of birthday that is mentioned in the bible is forbidden, yet celebrating of wedding anniversary that was never mentioned in the bible is not forbidden. When I argued it out wt one of their member, he said Jesus christ attended a wedding and performed his first miracle at a wedding. Wedding and and anniversary are they the same? Run away from those people if u don't want then to mess-up your brain with wrong teaching. U will see them loss their wives during CS and other major surgeries cos they forbid blood transfusion yet remarry almost immediately the wife passes on cos their bible says u are free to remarry once a partner dies forgetting they are the cause of death. Very wicked and mean people. I lived with a lot of them while growing up, both as family and as neighbors, as far as concerned they are only good at turning the bible upside down.
