Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion. verse 14 of the original is about not worshipping other gods, because God is a jealous God it tells us one of the characteristics of God; "jealous" shem/name: authority, character, name verse 14 of your nwt is about not worshipping other gods, because God requires exclusive devotion, not because God is a jealous God, which the original say once again, talk about a dunce, you sure are and once again your nwt is perverted, not just in that verse but in many |

bizhop01: Before talking about a religion please try to do some research so you won't pass a wrong impression about them. No member of Jehovah's Witnesses expect good leadership in any part of the world that's why we are preaching zealously about God's Kingdom as solution to mankind's problem! |

Janosky:There is No such principle about birthday, there is none, Jehovah witness invented such word. There is no record where Jesus warned any of his disciples against celebrating birthday. But Jehovah witness being greater than the maker themselves, deem it fit to indoctrinate and fight against it so badly. That they can alienate their members who do such. What a passive aggressive manner of indoctrination. Jesus also didn’t do some other things, - he didn’t build any house - he didn’t marry, neither does he have any children or knew any woman - he didn’t own property - he didn’t go to hospital - he didn’t have any academic profession aside being a healer and miracle worker. Jesus was focused and set apart for the mission he came to accomplish, it is as simple as it sounds. He didn’t even live up to 40 years and that was intentional. Jesus didn’t address others in a passive aggressive manner and advice people to not marry outside synagogues. King Solomon, Paul and David were men after God heart and lived life in their own way. God didn’t forsake them. Neither did Jesus Everything is with a purpose, stop misguiding people and enforcing laws even Jesus himself didn’t impose 2 Likes |

Aemmyjah: It is Normal that God's being will not make sense to me or to you as we are mere mortals with finite knowledge. Therefore we cannot comprehend or fully understand an infinite God. What is not normal is you trying to box an infinite God into your finite knowledge. This is how you know u r in the wrong. What I speak of God is what he has revealed in his word. If you want to go scriptural then say so, and I will show you from both the old and new testament that yes, The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God. 2 Likes |

grandstar: An attribute of Jehovah's Witnesses is once you expose their lies and manipulations on nairaland the next thing is to attack you.... You just want to be unreasonable. To hide the truth and realities in your midst you say I just want to be unreasonable After telling you that elders and publishers are not in the same class. When you see a publisher shepherding an elder I will agree that Jehovah’s witnesses don't have a clergy class Just this truth and clear happening and realities about the hierarchy in your midst scattered your Jehovah’s witnesses don't have a clergy class. Here it is again and your unreasonable peddling An ordinary publisher cannot do shepherding call to an elder. Meaning a publisher and an elder are not in the same class. Circuit overseers are not in the same class with elders. Branch committee members are not in same class with circuit overseers Branch committee members are not in the same class with Helpers to the Governing Body Governing body are not in the same class with helpers to the Governing Body Elders take the lead and don't lord it over us. We also do not call them elder this or that. We call them brother. There was a time a shook a circuit overseer with a slight reference and an elder looked at me quizzically Peddle your unreasonable here Publishers can take the lead in conducting shepherding calls to the house of an elder. I only want to remove the clergy class in your midst. Give me the opportunity to do so. We also do not call them elder this or that. We call them brother. Elders wait behind after the meeting is different from brothers wait behind after the meeting. How do you know a person is an elder in your midst? I want to check something. Do you have people becoming elders automatically or you refer to them as elders on your own without appointment? Why are some certain responsibility given to elders and not publishers since you are all the same and no class? I remember when my cousin became a pastor. He made us know that henceforth, he wanted to be addressed as a pastor. No such thing happens with us. Have you heard there are uniform pastors and those who are not putting on uniform. I don't need to call you an elder here and there. I only need to be told by someone that you are and the label stick even without calling you and yet they still refer or call them elders Na the unreasonableness I dey peddle be this You dey whine yourself. They equally address them as elders stop covering up lies and manipulations. I was on private reproof for 5 years, so should be resentful and support your stance. Which calamity you committee that made the clergy class called elders reprove you? I know my reasonableness knows you didn't reprove yourself for 5 years as just brothers How do you know what a shepherding call is? You sure sey you dey go meeting and put mind for wetin dem dey do for there. Something scattered in your watchtowers and study materials especially those dealing with topics related with elders. We know the elders nowadays are bogged down with how to provide needs for their families shepherding calls is no longer their thing anymore. No time Were you disfellowshipped?

achorladey: Don't forget that Elders have a book or manual called "Shepherd the Flock of God" - that book is for their eyes only. Every other member of the congregation is BANNED from reading that book. Don't be a LIAR @Grandstar - there is a clear difference between rank-and-file JWs and the Elders - this is a fact. Moreso, the Governing Body has taught that Elders are "Princes" to whom you must give respect. 3 Likes |

oteneaaron: Thanks for bringing that out too. I don't want him to get to that shepherd book first. He wants to deny the very evidence of his own very eyes and ears because the GODS of men housed in USA say so. This how their GODS of men housed in USA define Elder: A spiritually mature male Witness appointed to teach and to provide pastoral care for the well-being of congregation members. An elder must meet the Scriptural qualifications as outlined at 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9; James 3:17, 18; and 1 Peter 5:2. Dictionary meaning of clergy.... Clergy: a group ordained to perform pastoral or sacerdotal functions in a Christian church They just want to remain with the lies and manipulations packed into their brains that they don't have a clergy class. That's why their religious leaders always add paid to the clergy class to redefine it more 2 Likes |

achorladey: You lack appreciation for spiritual things. The Igbos in the past had no king Should I say that's not possible for people living in a community have no king.. I argue that the highest ranking chief in that village is their king, that they must have a king. Because I do not understand that the concept does not make it false. The British must have been astonished to meet the Igbos, a peiple who ruled without king.. Governing was a challenge as the Igbos had no king and the British applied indirect rule to govern Nigeria as a colony. The British were compelled to create kings in Igbo land to rule through them. |

MaxInDHouse:Smoking is against many doctrine ranging from traditions, medical, conventional etiquette and even legally, you are only permitted to smoke in your house if there are no children around. Your church doctrine is not the same thing as what is right and wrong in the eye of God. What ever is against the will of God, what ever is against love thy neighbor and love thy Self and love of God is a sin. But saying your church doctrines equates with the will of God and if someone else go against is then they sin is the biggest blackmail you can unleash on your neighbors. You’re also Infact trying to manipulate them. But as it seem, Jehovah witness doctrine right is at par with the written laws and words of the Bible. I shake my head. Adding and editing the word with unwritten rules Smoking is in my opinion against love of thyself, because it damages one’s health and body which is suppose to be the temple to God. But then if/she smokes only in the closest and does not lead his/her neighbors astray then he/she can only be judged by God. So until you start corrupting others or harming others, no one can harm you except God himself, who is the Judge of everything Smoking isn’t same as evil against your neighbors e.g Murder, covetousness or stealing that actually is not a love for thy Neighbor. That one, you will have to be put down and Paul advice we restraint you and if possible prevent you from corrupting other brethrens |

Stayingalive: So what exactly are you trying to say if you're against smoking? |
Re: 7 Reasons Why I Respect The Jehovah’s Witnesses by achorladey: 2:16pm On May 29 |
grandstar: You will keep attacking to drive your points. That's how the way you reason works You lack appreciation for spiritual things It will not change the fact that Jehovah’s witnesses have clergy class in their midst. Their own very definition say so. The reason you cannot answer the simple question that says do publishers do shepherding call on elders not to talk of even on fellow publishers? Reality says it goes beyond their jurisdiction because there is a class of men appointed into such position called elders What they do Igbo land is not what they do in the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses. Jehovah’s witnesses have a clergy class. |

grandstar: You're obviously an apostate who was driven out of God's organisation. The point that Jehovah’s witnesses hold on to to run away when their lies and manipulations packed into their brains are exposed. For the records I am not reproved like you so you can imagine any kind of machinations and sin I was driven out for. My disassociation letter met them in utmost shock. That's part of their policies and procedures for those who no longer wants to be a member. Call me apostate till eternity, I no longer answer to them. They never see it coming. I can tell you that till tomorrow. Some of them cannot even understand it. Please stay out as long as you want. Na my leg I use enter l, na leg I use waka comot. No be you go tell me that one. You're aren't welcome back until you come to your senses. That's attributes of a captive and gaslighting religious organization . They want the person to feel or question what he had done freely as wrong while the person is right to do so. Gaslight.... to trick or control someone by making them believe that their memories or beliefs about something are wrong, especially by suggesting that they may be mentally ill Captive organization... captivity occurs when a self-directed organism comes under someone else’s control for that person’s sole benefit. More in the image attached. Now to your until you come to your senses Let's analyse Is it wrong for members of Jehovah witness to disassociate from the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses based on their policies and procedures? No Is it wrong for members of Jehovah witness to freely disassociate based on their right there freedom of association from the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses based on their policies and procedures? No Does leaving Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization makes the one who freely does so not in his right senses? Grandstar respond to this question Do Jehovah's Witnesses see anyone leaving the Catholic Church to Jehovah’s witnesses as persons not in their right senses? Grandstar respond to this question Does people leaving the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses means people are not in their right senses? Grandstar respond to this question For the records Jehovah's Witnesses refer to those who leave their religious organization as apostates and also mentally ill or mentally diseased That tells me more about a religious organization that gaslight it's members and also a captive one.

The same Jesus said.... ‘I know your deeds, and your labor and endurance, and that you cannot tolerate bad men, and that you put to the test those who say they are apostles,+ but they are not, and you found them to be liars You want me to accept the same set of people who call themselves faithful and discreet slave who said even when they are lying I must accept it in order to keep unity at all cost. I should be united with them in lies and manipulations of people. Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he has offered a sacred service to God That's what your religious organization and leaders does to those they know found them to be liars. I was not even kicked out I left them in their lies and manipulations packed into your madness and insanities peddling brains His parents said these things because they were in fear of the Jews, for the Jews had already come to an agreement that if anyone acknowledged him as Christ, that person should be expelled from the synagogue.
