naughtynaughty: Though, they are worthy of emulation as far as what is required of us as believers (disciples) is concerned; "....and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in........and unto the uttermost part of the earth". Unfortunately, they are doing a wrong thing in the right way! A funny guy said they believe in hell, but not in hell fire; does that make any sense as far as Revelation 20:15 is concerned? Some of them even say they are the ones that will inherit the earth. These are inadvertently hilarious beliefs my people. Summarily, I don't care what religion you practice, all that matters is JESUS; "I'm the way, the truth and the life". Romans 10:9; "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved"! |

Please run from jehova witness. Their international leaders have been very smart so far. Most of their actions have been very strategic. No suprise that they have decided to make Nigeria their base in Africa. Also most of their members are from one particular part of Nigeria. They make the poor feel comfortable. They also capitalize on the threatened. No wonder the ibos are joining in droops. It is a win-win scenario though. You join jw, means you are making the ibos stronger because there, they get the chance to choose how things happen in Nigeria. Joining jw means joining the Biafra struggle. You might not understand what am saying for now though. Now they know that if they rule Nigeria, they will rule Africa and the world. Look at Christ embassy, winners chapel etc. In the end my friends, it's all about the money. See how many Nigerian pastors are leading the richest pastors chart. Forget that "we don't collect thithe sh!t". In the end, it is still their members that drop money that the church uses. You don't pay thithe but you still pay. Don't be deceived. Nuff said. |

bettermike:Lol when I see your comments thus far I see the heaving and sighing of a bitter and pained man. All you done is criticise destructively with no sense of decorum or courtesy. Please ease up on your hate for the witnesses as you're only harming yourself. We've always been a people having Gods backing despite mountain-like opposition. So all this jabber and bickering of yours is just a scratch on the surface to say the least. Do have yourself a good evening. 1 Like |

alexis:well not all bible translations have this verse u quoted like that, and let us even assume that it exist like that; Jesus said in John 17:22-23 that they (his disciples) may be one just as he and his father are one, that they may be joined together with him and his father. Did Jesus mean that his disciples will be 12 in 1? when they are joined with the Jesus and his father, did he mean they become 14 in 1? If u can sincerely answer these, then you will find answer to the 3 being one as you referenced. |

Can any JW read Luke 24:36-53 and John 20:31? Jesus clearly stated in Luke that Repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His Name to all Nations. Clearly the JW aren't preaching †ђξ gospel. In John, it was written that by believing in Jesus, we have life in His Name. Jesus also said in that Luke 24:27 that †ђξ scriptures right from †ђξ beginning with Moses and all †ђξ Prophets were written about Him. |

major466: Bros, Jesus Christ is not God. I'm not a witness but even I know this. Chech Collosians 1:15 that referred to Jesus as the firstborn of all creation. Jesus was created by God himself (the only one to enjoy that privilege actually hence he is referred to as "The only begotten son" |

alexis: I believe those texts addressed all your questions. When attempting to explain the Bible, we refer to the original meanings of expressions in the original language in which the Bible was written-Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, to get the original sense. Even if you refuse to agree with any other point, at least you must agree that Jesus is not ALMIGHTY GOD. yes, he is a god because he has a divine nature. The Bible calls him MIGHTY GOD, not ALMIGHTY. Only the father is referred to as ALMIGHTY and both of them are two different persons--one is the Father and Almighty God, while the other is the son and mighty god If Jehovah is “the only true God,” what kind of “God” is Jesus? Jesus himself referred to his Father as “the only true God.” (John 17:3) Jehovah himself said: “Besides me there is no God.” (Isa. 44:6) The apostle Paul wrote that, to true Christians, “there is . . . one God the Father.” (1 Cor. 8:5, 6) So Jehovah is unique; no one else shares his position. Jehovah stands in utter contrast to all such objects of worship as idols, deified humans, and Satan. All these are false gods. Jesus is spoken of in the Scriptures as “a god,” even as “Mighty God.” (John 1:1; Isa. 9:6) But nowhere is he spoken of as being Almighty, as Jehovah is. (Gen. 17:1) Jesus is said to be “the reflection of [God’s] glory,” but the Father is the Source of that glory. (Heb. 1:3) Jesus in no way seeks the position of his Father. He said: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Luke 4:8 ) He exists “in God’s form,” and the Father has commanded that “in the name of Jesus every knee should bend,” but this is all done “to the glory of God the Father.”—Phil. 2:5-11; What is the meaning of John 5:18? John 5:18, RS: “This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.” It was the unbelieving Jews who reasoned that Jesus was attempting to make himself equal with God by claiming God as his Father. While properly referring to God as his Father, Jesus never claimed equality with God. He straightforwardly answered the Jews: “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing.” (John 5:19, RS; see also John 14:28; John 10:36.) It was those unbelieving Jews, too, who claimed that Jesus broke the Sabbath, but they were wrong also about that. Jesus kept the Law perfectly, and he declared: “It is lawful to do good on the sabbath.”—Matt. 12:10-12, RS. |

SaintMog:Regarding blood transfussion, the bible in no way supports of it. From the time of the isrealites, God had given a clear warning regarding the use of blood. Read Gen 9:3,4 & leviticus 17:13 & 14 and see how God personally expressed his view of blood and how he expects his worshippers to treat it. Now, you remember when there was an issue within the first century christians regarding circumcision and the non-jews? Read what the apostles and the older men who represented christ concluded on this at Act 15:28,29 also chapter 21:25. Abstinence from blood was clearly issued. You might say, Does abstinence from blood include blood transfusions? Yes. To illustrate: suppose a doctor were to tell you to abstain from alcoholic beverages. Would that simply mean that you should not drink alcohol but that you could have it injected into your veins? Of course not! Likewise, abstaining from blood means not taking it into our bodies at all. So the command to abstain from blood means that we would not allow anyone to transfuse blood into our veins. |

I was reading an article on the front page some weeks back where a young Pentecostal man couldn't marry a lady simply because she was Catholic. Infact at that point I came to realize that it's a norm. Pentecostal members do not normally marry Catholics and vice versa. To my surprise I also saw cases of prohibited between even some Pentecostal churches. Evidently it is not only the witness who marry from within their fold, but be that as it may everyone turns a blind eye to that and unfairly attack the witnesses. All of these shows how much people reek of hypocrisy just for hatred for a peace loving scriptures abiding enemy. We continue to obey the bibles injunction to marry only in the lord and we are undeterred in our resolve. Please visit the best website on earth www.jw.org 1 Like |

godwin120alex:. JWs do not take delight in arguing with people. We only try to reason with you from the scriptures. We do not and cannot force our beliefs on you. Besides, we are not perfect people. We have limitations just like you do. So for you to just conclude that JWs never practise what they preach, just because you have seen one, two, three.... People misbehave, I think that's hasty generalization. There are attestations both locally and internationally that JWs as a group, have and live by high moral standards. As for not allowing them into your home, I think it's your choice. 1 Like |
