Op is very correct. Another thing I love about them is the refusal of blood transfusion, do you know that only these group of people are exempted from the UK blood poisoning scandal that came out to light recently? Note that more of these kind of evil from government is currently happening worldwide... I love JW.

NewNigeria2:


So,op Should believe a thread over his first hand experience. You're trying too hard to discredit JW. Channel your energy into something meaningful,go look for money

I tire o

ReacherSaidNoth:
How may I call you dumb and brainwashed without sounding insulting?

Courz:


If others have a different experience from the Op especially seeing that he has a low knowledge about the Cult, who are you to discredit them? You must be a Jehovah's Witness. Do you know Watchtower Bible and Tract Society? Do you know where they came from? Do you know who is your Mediator?

Lol. You're trying to hard. Don't go and hurt yourself over nothing o. I'm an ex JW member. I can attest to the fact that what op said about them are correct 100 percent. Keep your opinion to yourself

Eriokanmi:
The difference is crystal clear. Cults initiates, you must not leave their association except you're ready to breathe your last. Christianity is a free will religion, nobody coerces anyone. Nobody intimidates. You are free to leave anytime you choose and the goal is making heaven, regardless of your societal status. Cults aren't run that way they're devilish and secret in practice. They kill and main just like tge devil, their mentor does

If threatening people with eternal torture is not coercion then football is not a sport.

Also baptism is a sort of initiation, and you are not exactly free to leave as in some cases you lose your friends and family in the process as they now see you as an outcast.

OnknownSoldier:


Are you sure? Never heard of this before though

Jehovah's witnesses will not tell you this. They have a certain amount of money each JW has agreed to pay Watchtower and when the amount is not up to, they announce in their congregation that they have a Deficit. JWS don't know what's going on when they do this. They are too brainwashed to understand. If the money is really voluntary, there should be no deficit or fixed amount for each JW to pay. See below the amount a JW is to pay per publisher in different countries. Nigeria have their own which only Elders are aware of. When the total is not up to the amount, it is announced in the congregation that they have a Deficit.

broswilli:
A cult that is going down gradually. Do you know that as a parent you are not permitted to talk to your child that has left the religion. They just lifted the ban on men keeping beards. 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. They once taught that the people that lived around 1914 will not all die before Christ returns, they have replaced this teaching with a more ridiculous teaching known as overlapping generations. The teaching of overlapping generations is so ridiculous even a genius will find it difficult to understand. I have given you just a few of their teachings which will not be made known to you until you join. When you join and later find out the stupidity of this religion and decide to leave they will tell their members and others who care to listen to rubbish that you are mentally diseased. Spreading negativity against former members (who they fondly refer to as apostates) is known as Spiritual Warfare. It is best not to even join because the spiritual warfare against you when you decide to leave could be devastating.

Any time doctrine changes they call it new light. If you want to know more about this organization read the book "Crisis of Conscience"

OnknownSoldier:


Well said! You sound like an open-minded person like myself.

Better you remain so and avoid raising one religious organization above the other.

So I just did a research on divorce, and it turns out that they have just about the same divorce rate as other religions. The USA keeps such stats.

I will go through this. Thank you

Courz:


Even the Jehovah's Witnesses you are supporting have doctrines that are not Bible based. So, they are all the same. In case you are not aware, Jehovah's Witnesses have their different form of Tithes. They have a specific amount of money they pay per JW. When the money is not up to the total per JW In a congregation, they are always told that they have a Deficit, meaning the amount they have is not up to the required. So, even though they are not forced to pay, they are always told they have a deficit in a congregation. Jehovah's witnesses pay money to Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and keep some in their congregatios. Money never flows from Watchtower to Jehovah's Witnesses.

Person wey dey look from outside want to tell person wey dey dine with Governing body how their mode of operation be.

NewNigeria2:

Hurt myself over a Satanic Cult? Mbanu. Rather the Bible says we must expose Evil. And that's what I am doing. We are not JWS that say the sky is Red when it is really blue. We are not brainwashed. We say things as they are. If there are practices in JW that the public doesn't know about, we will expose it and there is nothing you can do about It.

So, don't hurt yourself while we expose them since you are no longer with them.

DCmonster:
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..

They will tell you your realities up there are lies just to save the face of their religious organization

thesicilian:

If this is your definition of a cult then the whole of Christianity, and even mankind is in a cult. Every rule/law in Christianity and in life is based on one threat of punishment or the other if you don't follow it.

The whole concept of Christianity is based on the threat that if you don't follow Christ, you'll be thrown into hell where you will burn for ever. What threat of punishment is greater than that?

Even at work, if you come late or refuse to come to work for one day what happens? Either your salary is deducted, or you're suspended without pay, or even sacked.

As a self employed business person if you don't pay your taxes you will be faced with severe punishment from the government. Irrespective of wether that particular tax is justified or not. Is that freedom?

You are not really as free as you think. We are all in a cage even though we sometimes own the cage.

You didn't need to respond to him, his line of reasoning was entirely foolish and outdated

achorladey:



He wants to manipulate realities on ground

The Dullard thinks This is Kingdom hall where brainwashed people gather to peddle lies to Deceive themselves that they are the best.

OnknownSoldier:


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.

The more reason you don't portray that religious organization as being high and mighty above others.

walexsho:
They are Drunkard... Their doctrine led them into that. You can sin(drink alcohol)but don't commit(drink) it excessively but they end up in mess

OnknownSoldier:


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?

Tithing is not only for members' welfare, it is also for the church welfare. E.g venue or church rentage, church building project, maintenance of the church auditorium, musical instruments, microphones and others. This is reduce the constant calling of members to donate money for things like these all the time. I'm a pentecostal pastor.

You're just masturbating over what does not concern you.

The only time they are to make such announcement is when they are repaying back a loan they probably took from watchower to build kingdom Hall.

I left JW organization when I was 24,till date I have not seen any Christian religion that's close to them in terms of practicing Christianity.

HumanObserver:


And you had to force me to read that long epistle..

You presented your arguments well.. I don't agree with most but Yes it does appear Asi if they are the last true followers of Christ.. I

Write something about the Nigerian Biafran war..Make I check sth..

Lol, I rather not write such because you might not like me again.

EBEk101:
Nah so one Jehovah Witnesses neighbor carry my contribution run for December 2018, she made me lost respect for them

if you judge a group or tribe based one encounter with the bad egg of such then you are indeed not a smart fellow, maybe that was why you were easily manipulated.

achorladey:

Imagine that. It is people who have lived the JW Life, left because they saw things that didn't align with their conscience and left, these are the people that should tell you about JW. JWS don't know many things about their own Cult.

What just pain me most about these set is that a lady told me I must become a Jehovah witness before she marry me, it shock me to the bone marrow.

simpleseyi:


Jehovah Witnesses are not perfect, just like you and I. But the magnitude of hatred that you other Christians have for them says a lot about you all. Only CCC and C and S do not say nonsense about other denominations, but you Pentecostals are a bunch of Hell Fire bound children of Satan.

Jehovah Witnesses are the only group of people who refused to fight in the World Wars. They said that they cannot understand why the Bishop of England will pray for English soldiers to go and kill Germans who are created by God, or why the Bishop of Germany will pray for German soldiers to go and people who are created by God in England, France, Russia e.t.c. Hitler killed several German Jehovah Witnesses for refusing to go to war, England, US, France and others too imprisoned several Jehovah Witnesses for refusing to go to war and kill people who are created by the same God that the soldiers pray onto before going to kill. Maybe we all need to think about this

Nobody is hating anybody. If we even want to talk about hate, it's the JW that hate others! Blood relatives who are members of the organization are not even allowed to talk with a family member who left the organization. You dy whyne? You guys think you can come on a public forum to deceive ppl. JW don't accept as little a literatures and pamphlets from other christian bodies. Guy go warm eba chop...

And they are repaying back loan of their Kingdom halls to this very day! Is that not Fraud? Is that not Theft? Paying Loan no dey finish? When you were a JW, You never bothered to Ask why you JWs keep paying money for many years till this moment! You are not seeing the fraud abi. Government wanted to tax Watchtower, Watchtower quickly said you should pay the loan Indefinitely per publisher. So, every single Kingdom hall is paying Loan to Watchtower for their Kingdom hall that is supposed to belong to them and you are not raising alarm? Do you JWs even own your Kingdom halls? NO! Watchtower has seized possession of your Kingdom halls under your noses! Which is why they sell Kingdom halls in all developed countries! Even the ones that JWs contributed to build, they are still paying Loan for it and Watchtower is selling them out to other businesses and religions! You no dey see the fraud? Watchtower Is a Real Estate Business!

You are still a JW. You are still brainwashed!

I respect you for being a Pastor.

However, show me a passage in the Bible to substantiate your claim. Tithes in the Bible are basically farm produce. They are only turned to money when the payer is coming from a long distance.

I respectfully put it to you that the purpose of tithing is simply for food and nothing more. Offerings can be collected for other things though.

We don't need to even look for stats. We that were associated with that religious organization knows what goes on in there regarding adultery and divorce. A religious organization that members swap wives won't have high rate of divorce
