JMAN05:


The account you quoted is good but the translation is misleading. Translating the Greek word that occurred there " worship" is against other part of the scripture where Jesus stated that ONLY his father should be worshipped. See Luke 4:8

NWT used "obeisance" there.

iamloyalty:


get ur fact straight, we disfellOwship only those who engaged in wrong conduct like Immorality, spiritisim, thief, etc. Dont forget even Jesus was considered weird.

switplum:
Una dey talk sha..

for me, I've come to understand dat JW don't worship Jesus. They only sing praises of Worship to Jehovah. Soo u would nt expect a JW to sing church songs dat praise Jesus...

I've come to see dat even Jesus worship his father. Soo y should we sing to Jesus?

JMAN05:


Chose one question dude, blood transfusion or non-association. Which do u want?

As for blood trans, see Acts 15:29

azaino:


what about those that seriously doubt and question the teachings of JWs org, what happen to them

Sarang:


Told you before. We don't disfellowship people on that ground.

Act15:29
"You must abstain from eating food offered
to idols, from consuming blood or the meat
of strangled animals, and from sexual
immorality. If you do this, you will do well.
Farewell."
My goodness!!! how does this verse relate to refusing blood transfusion ? Who exactly is interpreting this bible for you guys? Smh



read the whole chapter from verse 1, so you can understand better.

Act 15:1 certain men came down from Judea and
taught the brethren, “Unless you are circumcised
according to the custom of Moses, you cannot
be saved.”
Act 15:2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small
dissension and dispute with them, they
determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain
others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the
apostles and elders, about this question.
Act 15:3 So, being sent on their way by the church, they
passed through Phoenicia and Samaria,
describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and
they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Act 15:4 And when they had come to Jerusalem, they
were received by the church and the apostles
and the elders; and they reported all things that
God had done with them.
Act 15:5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who
believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to
circumcise them, and to command them to keep
the law of Moses.”
Act 15:6 Now the apostles and elders came together to
consider this matter.
Act 15:7 And when there had been much dispute, Peter
rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you
know that a good while ago God chose among
us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear
the word of the gospel and believe.
Act 15:8 “So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged
them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He
did to us,
Act 15:9 “and made no distinction between us and them,
purifying their hearts by faith.
Act 15:10 “Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a
yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither
our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Act 15:11 “But we believe that through the grace of the
Lord Jesus Christ [fn] we shall be saved in the
same manner as they.”
Act 15:12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to
Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles
and wonders God had worked through them
among the Gentiles.
Act 15:13 And after they had become silent, James
answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to
me:
Act 15:14 “Simon has declared how God at the first visited
the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His
name.
Act 15:15 “And with this the words of the prophets agree,
just as it is written:
Act 15:16 ‘After this I will return
And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has
fallen down;
I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will set it up;
Act 15:17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the LORD who does all these things.’ [fn]
Act 15:18 “Known to God from eternity are all His works.
[fn]
Act 15:19 “Therefore I judge that we should not trouble
those from among the Gentiles who are turning
to God,
Act 15:20 “but that we write to them to abstain from
things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality,
[fn] from things strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 “For Moses has had throughout many
generations those who preach him in every city,
being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Act 15:22 Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the
whole church, to send chosen men of their own
company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas,
namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas,
[fn] and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
Act 15:23 They wrote this letter by them:
The apostles, the elders, and the brethren,
To the brethren who are of the Gentiles in
Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia:
Greetings.
Act 15:24 Since we have heard that some who went out
from us have troubled you with words, unsettling
your souls, saying, “ You must be circumcised and
keep the law” [fn] —to whom we gave no such
commandment—
Act 15:25 it seemed good to us, being assembled with one
accord, to send chosen men to you with our
beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Act 15:26 men who have risked their lives for the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Act 15:27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will
also report the same things by word of mouth.
Act 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us,
to lay upon you no greater burden than these
necessary things:
Act 15:29 that you abstain from things offered to idols,
from blood, from things strangled, and from
sexual immorality. [fn] If you keep yourselves
from these, you will do well.
Farewell.
Act 15:30 So when they were sent off, they came to
Antioch; and when they had gathered the
multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Act 15:31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over its
encouragement.

Why is JMAN05 not responding to this. how does eating or consuming blood relate to refusing blood transfusion when one is sick. My brother, this pure doctrine and dogma, its outrightly lying against the Bible and deceiving innocent people. You should as well stop taking any form of medical treatment. Open your eyes, and stop allowing anyone to interpret the bible for you. James 1:5 " if any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God........" not even the elders in your org.

azaino:


so what happen to John10:30 "for I and my father are one " ?

azaino:

so what happens to them if people are not disfellowship base on rejecting or doubting the teachings

Sarang:


They leave on their own accord. When you start doubting Jehovah, you will eventually leave. We won't force them to stay either. Jehovah loves a service by choice.

azaino:


when they start reasoning/doubting the teaching. Which one is doubting Jehovah kwa ?

rottennaija:


Very true. I agree completely with everything you said. I'm a JW, but an awaken jw. I no longer believe all the things the teaches. At least, I now believe only what the Bible says, but a JW is expected to believe, not what the Bible says but as interpreted by their leaders. I know it is so disheartening, but true.

I was on preaching once, and someone I was preaching to asked me exactly the same question. Why we play all sort of musics but Gospel. I didn't remember answering him something good. But it got me thinking, I even pose same question to my brother. I couldn't help but agree that it was hypocritical.

JW are cult. JWs themselves wouldn't agree to these, because they don't know what cult means. Most people think for cult as some gun/machete carry killers, but in the case of religion, it not so. To know more what makes JWs cult, please read this article http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/fear-cult-mind-control.php

BentSpoon:
Mr man I think u will do urself a good thing by not claiming who u are not. JW has never raised a shame like u and will never. Why say u are a JW? Remember u aren't a JW until u are baptised and I doubt if u are baptised. Smh

rottennaija:


You know the way JWs insult many in this forum is so disheartening. Infact, I hardly see such insult from other religious groups in these forum. Even when JWs considers them worldly, tools of satan.

Anyway, I'm happy that people are seeing exactly the hypocrisy of their heart, that the smile and nice faces only exist while they carry the bag.

rottennaija:


Do you play Godwin?

Primebuilders:


I do not

nenergy:
Because their own "Gospel" is different. They don't consider themselves Christians, so Christian (Gospel) music is against their religion. Hence, they'll prefer Adele to Tope Alabi.

Sanmight85:
For all JW here, its advisable and simple enough to direct any who is really serious to know who we are to our unique website jw.org. Like Jesus, he didn't waste his energy disproving incomplete info or lies against him. He said" Wisdom is proved righteous by its works". Focus on your preaching and disciple making work dear brothers. Soon will go all opposers and Satan's world.

uzuede4:
Op, pls do well to check out our website Jw.org, and find out more about us.

uzuede4:
Op, next time try to get your facts together before arriving to an unconfirmed conclusion. You may have been looking for a way to rubbish JW, and you feel nairaland is your best option.
Pls, be careful what you say about other people.

todaynewsreview:

May God have mercy on you. What will anyone gain to rubbish JW? Fanaticism is worse than terrorism because it breeds the seed to terrorism. Try to have an open mindset sometimes too please. Thanks

Lord have mercy on these churches

Only tithers receive prayers against devourers in our churches #Why?

Many times you go to church and the Pastor command the minority Tithers to stand, he showers them with prayers and command devourers to stay clear of these ones standing only.

I wonder, so the majority sitting down can go to hell with devourers, they can face devourer head on, hell can unleash it's​ content in the lives of those none tithers right.

I mean devourers should jump and pass-by the tithers and descend heavily on the none tithers until they begin to bring their tithes to church.

Is this the reason for their Hypocritical prayers? To make us feel bad and condemned to devourers? ...

I honestly don't understand such hypocrisy in a place they call the house of God, a good Shepard won't be so comfortable with this divisive prayers. Even Jesus prayed for those who crucified him.

Thank God for grace shaa, God is not a man otherwise attacks by devours would have consumed 90% of genuine Christians today.

Our blessings are not tied to the pastors mouth, we are already blessed and protected from Creation by the creator himself.

They tagged most of the modern technology "Worldly thing" but they still watch TV, enter vehicles, make calls with Mobile Phones etc.

God have mercy on us all......

What u have said is NOT true!

God loves a cheerful giver and He receives with gratitude.

What else do u expect from a father if u his child pleases him? He blesses u...

U don't pay tithe and maybe u are not even a CHRIST believer.

We are not dullard to be tricked by cooked facts
