At last a truthful point abt JWs from a genuine JW Op! Breathe of fresh air... Was almost going to start wondering if apostasy now lives on NL FP to spread only but lies abt JWs. Nice one my brother! |

EdoNation: You will care when the time comes. The popular way (Broadway) leads to destruction and MANY people like you are going through it cos it's sweet and interesting. Whereas, tiny and cramped is the road leading to life and very FEW people are going through it. Use your sense of reasoning. 1 Like |

Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Quoting from the king james version, Jesus specifically asked his disciples to teach people to observe all the things he commanded and he will be with them till the end of the world. You will all agree that christmas was not in any way part of the things Jesus Christ commanded us to observe. |

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. whose commandment is xmas celebration? Christ? Certainly not! It's just the commandment of men made to excite the large number of christians who care less about what the scripture says. Christians claim xmas is a time to show love but my question is, "What happens to the other days"? Must we wait till december 25th before we can show love and affection? The best way we can show love is to help someone know the true God and get everlasting life in the long run. So brothers, spread the kingdom good news far and wide, never loose track. Everlasting life awaits us in God's new world. |

Jehova witnesses indeed. SMH. I just pity you guys shaa. In my own personal experience with JWs shaa. Having read through their literatures all these years, having one or two things to do around their members, I can only say there's no difference between Moslems as we see them amd JWs Walai. Or should I say pegans. Very wicked set of people, one, which Christian set segregates even among fellow Christian set in Marriage, in many things, hypocrites. You don't celebrate birthdays, Christmas and so what. Leave us naa. Let's celebrate. Their hatred for Catholicism is really annoying . You hardly read any of their write up that doesn't have something to say against Catholic, like for real.? Why the hate. Do your own thing naa. It's almost as if the religion was set up on revenge/competition against Catholic. Well shaa. It's Christmas again, stop disturbing the world with your selfish doctrine, we ve heard enough. Happy Christmas to everyone. May the new born king of peace envelope us all with peace for one another no matter the religion. Amen. |

There is what is called "instinct" if everything Jesus said or did were to be recorded I don't think a library can contain. 8 NIV:And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 NIV:An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 NIV:But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 NIV:Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 NIV:This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 NIV:Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 NIV:“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” 15 NIV:When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 NIV:So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 NIV:When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 NIV:and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 NIV:But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 NIV:The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2. |
