They have good heart no wahala.... But why no blood transfusion even if your love one is dying but Jesus said "whatsoever you do to the list of my brother's that you do unto me" so why allow your love one to die that's pure wickedness Udo! 2 Likes |

OP just used some cunning to make a case for jehovah witness. Tell you what? I don't even get what you mean by that witness' rejection of the tract offered to him. I don't think it's unprofessional. In fact, the contrary is the case. If I told u to quit alcohol bc it's bad for u and u asked me what then you should do; and I say u could try non-alcoholic drinks like coke. Then u say if I had a sip of your beer then you'd have a sip of my coke. What do u wager I should do? The argument to me is that these people believe their organisation is the one true kingdom of God. To that witness' point of view, all other groups and their teachings are false. So he's right in turning down any invitation to such enlightenment. The JW believe they're the only church God recognizes. Even their belief about rapture is against themselves since they say only 144,000 will go to heaven while their numbers alone is way past that. They have made a translation of the Bible to agree with their beliefs and rejects the interpretations of even the original texts. How can that not be defined as their own Bible? No matter how good, nice and righteous a faith may sound, if it denies the person of the Lord Jesus and the person of the Holy Spirit, it missed the mark entirely. Righteousness does not save; faith in Jesus does. Water baptism does not save, Jesus and the baptism of the Holy Spirit does. I regard them as nice but extremely dangerous organization because if you are lured to embrace their teaching, you miss the mark. 5 Likes |

believe me this write up is a pure lies. have been a baptis publisher as a jw for ten good years. I was even an elder in my congregation but the thing most jw fail to understand is that this jw group use brain wash techniques on his followers. yes they are any things they teach that is true but most of there doctrine are pure man made nonsense and false. and even the blood they claim they don't use to give out to a dien family member day have made several changes on that many times. they also once celebrated Christmas and birthday. just do your research well about this organization you will notice alot of hypocrisy ND changes of doctrine to suit them self. 5 Likes |

U forgot to add that the organization teach extreme shunning for ex members, that is a cult practice. U forgot to add that the Governing Body has wrongly prophesy Armageddon more than 6 times, u forgot to add that the organization defend phedophiles, u forgot to add that the organization teaches that it only Jes that will be saved in the battle of Armageddon, u forgot to add that the Organization once denied vaccination and allowed innocent children to die before they scrap it and came up with the no to blood nonsense. U forgot to add that organization teaches that Jesus only mediate for the 144,000. U for got to add that the organization teach that u don't need to be born again. U forgot to add that the organization teach that Jesus cannot perform miracles. U forgot to add that the organization stated in it current year book that they had zero percent growth in the US. U forgot to add that the organization is selling off kingdom halls in Canada because people no longer attending meetings. U forgot to add that the organization teach that listening to the GB is listening to God. U forgot to add that the GB members are self appointing and are racist. U forgot to add that no branch office is headed by a black man. I can go on and on and the evils on the watchtower. An organization that teaches u to hate ur family members once they live the watchtower. Try better next time. 4 Likes |

My dear, I read your futile attempt to justify the Jehovah's witnesses. First, the JW have their own Bible. With my own eyes, I have read in your Bible, Jn 1:1 " In the beginning was the................ and the Word was god " instead of "and the Word was God". Obviously, your choice of small letter in the word God is to buttress your belief that Jesus is NOT GOD BUT SON OF GOD. Now, is that the same as in other conventional Bibles? Secondly, you believe that only 133,000 of your elders will be going to Heaven. Please enlighten us why Christ said that he has gone to prepare us a place for in his father's house there are many mansions. 1 Like |

Schoolala:u are so on point. Jws lie a lot and the brainwashed followers are told to cover up. Most Jws in Africa don't even know the GB now allow blood transfusions in fractions. They keep updating their Teachings to cover up their lies. Anyone who which to join the Jws is at liberty to, but they should make their research abt the watchtower first because it is a mind controlling American racist cult to make gullible and lonely people sell their magazines for free 3 Likes |

emelda86:i am not a jw myself. So i might not be able to provide a biblical answer for the reason why they are are against blood transfusion - well, i know the bible said abstain from blood - but i know they believe in bloodless medicine. I think it's still a developing field,but from all indication it's better and cheaper than blood trandfusion. Read up on bloodless medicine,sis. Health risks appear to be another contributing factor in their appeal, especially in light of recent studies that suggest thatblood transfusionscan increase the risk of complications and reduce survival rates.[17][18]Thus the recovery rate is faster with bloodless surgery, allowing the patient to leave earlier. Benefits Bloodless medicine appeals to many doctors because it carries low risk of post-operative infection when compared with procedures requiringblood transfusion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodless_surgery?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C9284150642 4 Likes |

The magazine is not even sold. Bro, chill! The hate is not necessary on nairaland. You are free to express your sentiments but since you keep following the updates I am curious, are you naturally inclined to follow lies? You just called us liars yet you keep trailing us for update, how logical is that? Are we mind-controlling you to the point that you need to trail lies? Shouldn't you spend more time staying relevant in your own doctrine or church? What church or religion are you most agreeable with, btw? MOSICATED5: 2 Likes |

atoleybaba:You are the ignorant one here. People die as a result of blood transfusion that lead to infection? Like seriously? Please I will like to know where blood transfusion is done without proper screening of the blood first. And let me build on what you started. JWs doctrine of no blood transfusion has lead to the death of many folks who should be alive today. You know what that is called? Murder! That doctrine makes JWs commit suicide when they turn down blood transfusion to save their life. Let me stop here for now so I don't spoil your Sunday for you. By the way, how many people argued that Jesus was actually born December 25th? I celebrate the Savior's birth that day. It isnt scriptural abi? There are many things you do now that is not scriptural. Your Awake isn't scriptural (except you will show me where God instructed you to print awake in the Bible) Watchtower isn't scriptural. That trouser you wear isn't scriptural. Even that haircut on you isn't scriptural. You saw it good to teach people through awake and watchtower, hence the need for it. Please make sure you refuse Christmas bonuses in your place of work OK. You, my friend is the ignorant one here! 4 Likes |

XXLDICK:You are getting things wrong. Most people especially Christians May not make heaven because of these denomination thing. When you die, denomination matters no more. Its either good or bad. Good or Evil. Simple. I am a Christian and I strive to be among the good. When you reach heaven, Muslims call it Al Jana, Christian/Muslim will not matter again neither denomination will. Most Christians put denomination ahead of Christ and that is why they worship pastor more, example is the op . I don't have any particular church, I attend CAC, Baptist, Harvest house Christian center, Rccg. And am still open to others. What I look forward to is the praise and worship and the pastors preaching. To answer your question...I am a CHRISTIAN. 2 Likes |
