Well, we pray effectively and efficiently but we don't pray so that the public will recognize us.

How do you pray?

How many times have you raise objections in your church?

I so much admire the lifestyle of JW. I've gone to several churches and their lifestyles is the contrast of Christ-like.
In Christianity nothing is more important more than peace and love. Take your time to study JW members and you will find out what true Christian should be like.

These are truths.

And I'm surprised to see many JWs attack your person rather than try to counter the points you raised.

I for one know that nothing gets a Jehovah's Witness hard like condemning the Catholic Church. It gives them the ultimate erection. And I'm Catholic. I read their tracts. I see the sneak disses. I just laugh.. Childish.

What I like is their voluntary nature. Something similar to Catholicism. But they are quite pompous. An evidence to that fact is the topic of this thread. Quite unnecessary and very infantile.

One of my best friends is a Witness, I've had the opportunity to visit their Kingdom Halls with him and I loved the experience.
Though I'm a Catholic, I love the JW family, and if I ever have to switch, it would be with them.

I have interacted with them since my secondary school days over 25 years ago and still interact with them until now.

For starters, this is one religion where they do thorough research and consistently refer to the bible, probably only second to the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodoxy. I also took them on on several controversial topics like the trinity, the concept of the crucifixion on the cross or on the stake, the eternal burning fire, reincarnation, etc. One thing I drew is that they are very tolerant of pseudo-non-believers and draw perspectives from the Bible. What they did not know, they promised to get back and they did. This level of tolerance is what I noticed among those of the Catholic faith.

Now the issue many have with them is the stringent rules which I think we all need for our practical living. There seems to be a lot of control in the way members lead their lives. While I do not fault this fundamentally, I do think people should not be forced to live by rules which they barely understand, but be allowed to evolve through experience and mature in faith such that they can discern right from wrong without remembering rules for living.

The JWs are not allowed to think for themselves or question the rules because outside thoughts are said to be from the devil.
JWs have to disown family or friends whoever leave the faith and cut them off completely.
They have also had a lot of failed prophecies.
JWs members are banned from reading religious texts from other beliefs but will gladly teach people of other faiths about theirs.
The watchtower group claims politics is evil but they are aligned with the UN.

Yea. You are damn right about that.
And that is why I don't see them as Christians. There are just JW, no offense!

Mr OP, you are a hypocrite! You alienated yourself from being a JW but reading your epistle, you are. I don't have anything against your opinion but it would have been better to say you are a JW and are better than the other Christians. You were hiding under the cloak that you are part of the other Christians.

How do you pray?

Usually, our prayers are said calmly, we don't disturb others with our prayers since we are praying to the one who hears and knows everything.
As individuals, we say a lot if private and personal prayers, some if them will involve emotions that we cry just like Hannah did when she went to the temple.
All these are noticed by us and God and no one else.

Your last point was rather weak. It's merely a matter of semantics.

"My Kingdom is not of this world."

First you have to understand the place of "of" here.

Of has to do with origin. What something is formed from or influenced by. Saying "My Kingdom is not of this world," simply means that nothing about the kingdom would be influenced or resemble anything in this world. It doesn't, however, give a pointer as to the location.

The Bible teaches that all kinds of premarital sex is a sin whether with a JW or with a Non-JW. If your ex-girlfriend chose to live a double life, that was her decision and is not to be used as a yardstick for measuring the beliefs of other Jehovah's Witnesses. Our beliefs are clear and not confusing at all. Individuals can however choose whether to follow the Bible's teachings or not.

This OP has already provided PROOF that your fallacious claims were baseless and unfounded.
Hypocrisy and bigotry is your problem.

OP is right. How can a loving God punish people in hellfire when they die? 2. How come no portion of the bible supports hellfire expressly. 3
Back in Samaria when they Jews burnt their children in fire, what did God say? (Jeremiah 7:31) He said what they did NEVER CAME TO HIS HEART! So if God does not change and cannot lie! At what point will burning people later come to his heart? NEVER! The churches will never teach you that. Besides Ecclesiastes says the death are conscious of nothing at all! How can you beat and punish an unconscious animal thinking it can feel it? They'll rather scare you into believing a lie so you "do as you're told"....if you know you know. Why do they sell everything? From holy water to books to expensive universities etc. Members cannot even afford. Shouldn't it be free? Think my people think. This is the truth.

Nonsense write up for a JW cult apologists. What did u include the fact that the Jw cover up cases of sexual abuse With the organization.
Why didn't u include that the JW practice extreme shunning for non members.
Why didn't u include that the governing body of the Jw is self selecting and are all made up of no African despite the fact African has the highest member in the organization.
Why did u include that the Jw joined UN for 10 years and yet
Claimed it Babylon
JW members fornicate, lie ,etc like every other Christians denomination.
Did u include that Jw mainly go out for preaching tor fill up their field service report so that they can be seen as doing God's work in the white of their GB members.
Finally u didn't include that the Jw organization is going into extinct in developed world where Information is easy to get. Kingdom halls are been sold off In the UK due to lack of members.
I challenge u to prove any of my point as false

Problem with Jehovah witness is the will invite everyone to their meeting, the go door to door freely and share their church material like watch-tower, awake, and all so preach to people.

But Jehovah witness member can never accept invitation to other churches they feel is wrong,
The don't accept handbill from other churches,
Is a sin for members to marry outside Jehovah witness,
The don't want others to preach to them, even many that quote bible like JSS1 literature student's feel the are too qualify and more holy than anyone.

Religion has done more harm than good in Africa, especially Nigeria.

What is the writer trying to achieve with this post now, to show that JW are better and holier than thou , than other Christian denominations or what?

I keep saying it that I wish all churches , mosques and prayer houses could be banned , so we can have our brains reset and start thinking right in this country for once .

The whole countries advancing technologically and other wise is the world don’t carry religion the way we do here , yet they are million light years ahead of us, yet here we are.

Shame on the Mod who pushed this shit to front page , and the writer too.

Brain dead religionists, Mumu people .. Rubbish

Keep deceiving yourselves, last last , all man to himself ..

Because you wear coat and tie, carry handbag and umbrella and disturbing the peace of people every single day of the week , especially on Sunday , makes you better and holier than thou abi?
