No Jehovah witness has ever won me in a biblical debate. I tear down the whole scam religion with some few scriptures.....

OnknownSoldier:
I am naturally drawn to things that people generally criticize and most of the time, I do find out that most of these things are not really what people say they are. People would generally hate what they don’t understand and that is the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. While growing up, I watched people avoid interacting with them and this made me curious to know about their doctrines.

After studying with the Jehovah’s Witnesses for more than 12 years, I can say that they are widely misunderstood by most people. Do I totally agree with them? No, I do not but I share their perspective in some areas like the subject of the Trinity and Tithing. I do not actively study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses anymore but here are areas they have my respect.

First, is evangelism. Without a doubt, no other Christian set actively evangelizes like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, none even come close. As a Jehovah’s Witness, you are readily mandated to evangelize not just occasionally like most Christian sets but regularly.

Second is their civility. As far as I am concerned, I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses are the most civilized Christian set in Nigeria. Even though they use microphones in their services, you can barely hear a sound outside their kingdom hall. I think most churches need to learn from them on how not to disturb people with their horn speakers. It can be very annoying.

Third is their uniformity. I have gone to kingdom halls and many Jehovah’s Witnesses’ conferences in many regions of the country and I can confirm that they teach the same message everywhere. Most multi-branched churches in Nigeria are not like this. Don't let me start to mention names.

Fourth is biblical knowledge. When it comes to biblical knowledge, I haven't seen that Christian set that can win the Jehovah’s Witnesses in a Bible-based debate even though a lot of people will argue that their teachings are heresies. The truth of the matter is that no church is perfect and Jehovah’s Witnesses are not an exemption. Try an engage a random 8-year-old Jehovah’s Witness, you will be shocked by his or her narration of biblical events.

Recently, I was watching a video of two pastors arguing about tithing on Facebook and I was so irritated by the pastor arguing for why Christians should pay tithe. The Bible verses he was using as his defense were totally irrelevant to the points he was making. Jehovah's Witnesses are not like that. If you ask a Jehovah’s Witness a question he doesn't know, he will not try to be proof smart to you or beat around the bush, he will simply tell you that he does have the answer to your question but he will reach out to his superior for the answer. Trust me, he will always come back with a reasonable response even if it doesn't really answer the question exactly but at least it will sound very reasonable.

Fifth is their lower divorce rate. Of course, there will certainly be Jehovah’s Witnesses who are divorced but I am yet to see one myself. Do you know one? The Bible says, “By their fruits, we shall know them. This is a clear testament to show that the word of God is of great effect in their lives. Yeah!

Sixth is their devotion. When it comes to devotion, I rate the Jehovah’s Witnesses very high. A Jehovah’s Witness with an MSc can decide to turn into an artisan simply because he doesn't want anything that will hinder him from going to weekly meetings at the Kingdom Hall. One of their members once told me that he has never missed a meeting in his entire life and if I wasn't mistaken, he should be around 32 years of age when he told me that. Jehovah’s Witnesses don't joke with their meetings and that's why you will rarely see a Jehovah’s Witness working in the bank.

Lastly is their less emphasis on money. This is one area I respect the Jehovah’s Witnesses most. A Jehovah’s Witness will politely stop you by the road, hand you a book that would have cost you a lot of money, and ask that you give a free-will offering. Even if N5 is all you have, he will collect. This is not the way it is in other Christian sets where everything is for sale. The only Christian set that is a bit like the Jehovah’s Witnesses in this regard is the Christ Embassy with their “Rhapsody of Reality”. It will shock you that the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not take offerings or tithe in their meeting except a box at the entrance of the hall where members can drop their voluntary offerings. Sometimes I imagine how they can run their publications and the maintenance of their halls. I don't think there is any better way to explain the true provision of God than that.

In conclusion, I know a lot of Christians see the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a heretic movement or even a demonic one but I don't think so. Instead, I see sincere people who are devoted to God in the way they know best. Whether their doctrine is accurate or not, I just hope God counts the sincerity of their heart and devotion as righteousness.

Remove bible knowledge. They preach in error that's why they are more aggressive in evangelism. Since they preach in error, they have to double their effort to convince you

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!

The guy no even understand what he is saying. How will they sell what belongs to the congregation after paying loans

No be double tragedy and jeopardy be that

Nice🥂

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...

Nothing but facts!

Facts! Just be knowledgeable in the scriptures. You can beat them hands down! They don't even know the Bible that well. You will quickly see their weaknesses with just a few Bible verses.

Its biblical, its not about who is better in behaviour or who can deceive to show a better character, its about what they believe, because the foundation is more important it is what directs everyone.

The bible says in the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word became flesh and lived among us human. This means Jesus is God almighty just as the Father is God almighty, there is no lesser God. But Jehovah witness say Jesus was the first created angel.

Little differences like this may seem insignificant, but they are very important. Its very important to accept the truth, the way it is.

I am not trying to convince you with my righteousness, or my uprightness which is dirty and ugly, but only with the Truth. Don't deceive yourself due to peoples outward character, rather seek only the truth.

Is there any evidence that suggest your believe is better than theirs?

Would you like to be invited to an online debate that will be transmitted online?

immortalcrown:
I agree with you on devotion, civility, uniformity, low divorce rate and low emphasis on money.

But have you checked the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding these qualities?

Self praise is not a mark of a healthy church. Any denomination will do same, even the xcccc church of Satan!

I live with some of these people as members of my family. In the issue of marriage, I would prefer that some of them divorce to the problem they give themselves.

You know FUJI HOUSE OF COMMOTION

If there babes knack u.

The Idiot no Sabi anything. JWS no even know the scam wey dey go on. You dey owe person. You dey pay the person. Government want to tax the person because the person is acting like a bank accumulating millions. The person come tell you say don't bother paying the whole amount, just pay a certain amount monthly but you will keep paying this amount indefinitely. Forever! As long as you keep using the Kingdom hall. This means Jehovah's Witnesses are paying Rent to use the Kingdom hall that is supposed to be owned by them. But unfortunately, Watchtower has seized ownership of the Kingdom hall which gives them the right to sell it.

Lol. Do you kown when they built the kingdom Hall? What if they're only asked to pay 10,000 Nair's yearly? Don't criticize what you don't understand. Please go and sleep Small

OnknownSoldier:


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.

In the Old Testament, it was farm produce based on their produce or harvests but in the NewTestament it is a bit different because your farm produce won't pay your church rent, and other needs in the church. Have you asked yourself this? If tithe and offering aren't important, why do JW leaders take voluntary donations from their members? Why not JW leaders provide the needs in the church with their hard earn money without asking a fathing from their members as donation?

The doctrine of not celebrating birthdays because King Herod beheaded John the Baptist on his birthday is absurd and ridiculous

Find out more, and for the record, no any early Christian celebrated birthday

achorladey:


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

Swap wives? How?

bennybuhari:

Did Christ himself attended any b\day? did he at a point celebrated his own?

JW are nice people with very calm attitude.

I feel they're amongst the few that practice true Christianity.

Others na Christianity for head and lukewarm attitude for heart.

Anytime witnesses come knocking, I feel relaxed to hear their preachings especially when I'm having a boring day.

Na you suppose listen and learn. He has shown you reference materials. Carry your own come. A Jehovah's Witness who left at age 24 right?

We know the position you get at that kind of age.

Shut up your mouth! You don't know anything. How will you know that your Watchtower Is a full blown Business when they have washed that your Brain? How can you keep paying Loan for a hall that is supposed to be owned by you yet, Watchtower really owns the Kingdom hall? How can a congregation that built their own hall without the help of Watchtower, keep paying money per publisher to them? Wetin concern them with the loan? Mumu. Be there and allow a group of Freemason Fraudsters to Deceive you and milk you. Do you know what happened to a A congregation in the US that refused to send their own Tithes to the Headquarters? Watchtower dissolved that congregation. Yes. Because they said the Elders were stubborn and refused to send them the money. Those Elders were very smart because they saw the Fraud! Your Watchtower and every other religion out there that focuses on Tithes Are the same. Google the networth of Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Billionaires! And what are you? Are you a billionaire? That's to show your foolishness as a JW. Your Watchtower Is nothing but a Business!

Oseone1:

Better is the day of death than day of birth means Jehovah's Witnesses should not give birth and makes procreation a bad thing to celebrate.

Right?

Yes, i do like that character they show, when they are preaching, although i don't know if they are pretending, never gone to their hall.

I have debated them that Jesus is God, they are quite stubborn , anyway i like their calm way of talking but not their doctrine.

You know what they call wife swapping?

the practice within a group of married couples of exchanging sexual partners

SeriouslySense:

Hahahaha. Of course, when you go to preach, you have to act meek ro promote the Cult. But the real personality is there when no one is looking. If you want to know them well, just go to ExJW Reddit, some Facebook groups of JW. You will see wonders! To be a good JW, You must have multiple personalities depending on who you are with. Haven't you Heard of JWs sending dik pics to women online?

Zubeezanga:
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.

Mr smart, you mean to tell me, no one has cheated or manipulated you before ?

No one is perfect, and we have many flaws, but at least their doctrine should align with the bible.

And its better as people like you have said to understand how a cult works. In order not to be trapped by a cult.

I wont mention the church, but i tried attending this church and it uses fears and laws to scare it people, and its like a trap, i left that church, not because i understood clearly how a cult works, but because i had build enough instinct at that time.

The JW is a cult. They give the outward appearance of civility but the members are in a cage they can't escape from because of the threats of punishment they have been convinced are terrible.

How St*pid can you be?

At the bolded, that will never happen with Jehovah's Witnesses as long as they have a Bible that is distorted. Every single doctrine that you don't agree with them is based on the Bible verses in the below thread.

I AM NOT A JEHOVAH WHATEVER BUT THIS POST IS FALSEHOOD.

NO JEHOVA CAN DO THIS SORT OF THING.

ASIDE FROM THEIR HIGH MORALITY, THEY KNOW EVERY MEMBER ONE ON ONE AND THEY CAN EASILY TRACE THEIR MEMBER AT ALL TIMES.

if not for their church activity time that they take above everything, they would av been the only people i will love to employ.

It would have been nicer for you to share your perspective of them and how different they are from everyone in your circle or whatever you may think of them without calling my ordeal falsehood
Pray you don’t fall victim

Child molesters, fake prophecies, segregation amongst members, pretenders, wrong interpretation and implementation of Bible verses especially on blood transfusion, the list goes on and on.
