These people sure don't know what they are saying. Should Politics be left for the Unbelievers alone?! And these are the same set of people who would blame Politicians tomorrow if they fail. 1 Like |

They better leave our country for us joor. That in a way will open more spaces for some to fill those spaces thereby reducing unemployment as we all await God's kingdom while working too to keep the country forward. They better study the word of God properly instead of alienating themselves from participating in anything that promotes the good of the nation. God bless Nigeria. |

some people are just looking for cheap popularity... or maybe just want to promote their website. 1) Jehovah's witnesses don't run services like other churches and so don't have a pastor. 2) they never prevented anyone from obtaining a voters card( temporary or PVC). Jehovah's witnesses are politically neutral and so will never engage in the political affairs of this world( whether in Nigeria, USA or anywhere else. they have chosen to exercise their right that way and it must be respected since is legal. they campaign solely for Jesus, they can never decamp to anywhere else(faithful). so they are focused on the service of God. i think is time all the so called pastors start acting like them, join them to preach repentance and salvation to these corrupt politicians. |

What kind of Media Institution is PM News? A very crazy one trying to score cheap Popularity I can say. All I see in this post are nothing but lies. let me address the post systematically. . Reports say members of Jehovah’s Witness have been banned from participating in the upcoming elections.This also includes voting or contesting for any official post in the elections. There are no reports. Jehovah witnesses right from time do not participate in elections, so tagging it to the upcoming election in Nigeria is pure lie. Also The way Preaching is carried out in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's witnesses is way different from that of other Churches. Witnesses Sunday teaching or weekly study topic all comes from the pennyslavia at the headquarters of the bethel school and arranged by the faithful and discreet slaves and prepared months before and not days too. . It was also gathered by the newspaper that members of Jehovah’s Witness were given stern warnings not to obtain voter’s cards and that they should not vote during the elections. Lies!!!! Members were never prevented from obtaining a voters card be it temporary or permanent (I.e TVC or PVC ) . A Jehovah’s Witness pastor, James Uduok, reportedly agreed with the directive, stating that every member of Jehovah’s Witness knows that participating in election is satanic and contrary to the will of God.Jehovah's Witnesses don't have pastors, so I don't know where PM NEWS saw one. Jehovah's witness only have elders. Jehovah's witnesses are politically neutral and do not take part in political issues or vote. As they believe that this present governmen cannot bring Joy or happiness or peace or settle the pproblems been experienced in the world. They believe only Jehovah's ruler ship on the new Earth can guaranty peace and no suffering. PM news just looking to score cheap popularity. Lest I forget BWGIST might be the originator of this fake article filled of lies. Hey before anyone insults me am not a Jehovah's witness. Am a proud ATHEIST. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

DaBullIT: Jehovah's witnesses don't pay tax? Sure they do...only that they just chose to be apolitical. Last time I checked politics is a dirty game and will always be...Any religious institution that doesn't want to go down should best steer clear. You can see what is happening to some pastors who decided not to mind their business. |

They will continue with their lies against God's people since it did not start 10years ago. Always ask this question: AMONG THE FIRST CENTURY EARLY CHRISTIANS APOSTLES WHICH OF THEM PARTICIPATED IN THE WORLD'S POLITICAL AFFAIRS-Paul, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Timothy, Philip and the rest. Even the scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ withdrew when the people wanted to make him king( Matthew 6:15), so why did he not accept to be made king? Why? Please also READ UP DANIEL 2:44 and find out the prophecy that awaits these present political leaders and why any support to this present world leaders runs foul of the new heavens and new earth that christians await(2Peter 3:9,13). Know also that as long as humans continue to look up to their political leaders rather than Jehovah God for direction, the more problems and complain they get because man was not created to lead, guide or direct himself( Jeremiah 10:23). Did God not tell us not to put our trusts in these people to whom salvation does not belong? please READ UP PSALMS 146 3-5. Jehovah's Witnesses observe Jesus' words to his followers: “You are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.”— John 15:19. Some who used to preach politics have changed after making a careful study of the Bible. An Italian politician who was a member of Catholic Action, a church-controlled organization, said: “I went on to politics, feeling that a person should contribute actively to the political and social development of society.” After resigning as city mayor in order to preach God’s Kingdom as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he explained why the efforts of sincere people in politics fail. “The world is what it is, not because decent people have not tried to better social conditions, but, rather, because the sincere efforts of the few have been overcome by the wickedness of the many.” CONCUSION: the only solution to mankind's problem is God's kingdom and not any political leader today or tomorrow( Matthew 6:33). The world is passing away...including the nobles and political leaders...but ONLY THOSE WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN JEHOVAH will live forever( 1 John 2:17; PSALMS 37:29). 1 Like 2 Shares |
