wisewordd:cos they are Christian doesn't make them perfect. No Jehovah's witness will tell u he is perfect.... Even king David committed adultery and murder!!!! Such things are bound to happen. But the koko is if u are willing to repent and truly repent oooo and avoid things that will make u fall back to such sin again will such person have the peace of mind he searches for.....even me myself wey they follow u type, I no perfect. I have done some wrongs. No one is perfect again no witness will tell u he is. But we know we serve a God that overlooks our shortcomings all we need to do is just give it a try to be Christlike....I hope I have been able to clarify that |

chatinent:Honestly, d wat pp cal God nowadys maks me fill lik I no n serve a difrnt almighty God. We hav bcom so glued to religion n tradition dat hs med us lac comon wisdom. For me, most African religious leaders (pastors in particular who nw act lik Gods) hav beacon unadulterated business tycoons, scamming n misleading lots of persons under d umbrella of God's nam n making their so cald ignorant membrs bcom religiously fanatical. We shldnt b misguided by churches whos stylish paramount aim is directed towards digging deep into r pockets we might nt even hav and deceiving us with this so called religious doctrines. Wht God wnts 4rm us is v.clear; do gud, lov, serve him n be wit him in paradise. This misuse of God's nam is getting me really angry. God hav mercy |

![]() illicit: Politics is worst. It leverages on salient and sensitive matters to control the masses for selfish reasons. Religion can do without politics but politics can't do without religion. Religion (sword) is like a weapon used by the killer (politics). If u think that the sword is the problem and it should be scraped, the killer (politics) will invent other weapons e.g guns, arrows, poisons, nuclear weapons etc. The problem is not the sword but the killer, the sword can be hanged for ages without hurting a fly. Many years ago, swords were used to kill, today man has stopped using swords to kill, but people are still dying because man has discovered other weapons that are more effective than swords. Politics may not use religion in an irreligious community, other things like racism, tribalism, regionalism, social class etc might be used as the opium of the masses. No nation or community without a soft point. That's y politics will never run out of weapons. If a weapon was used to kill, who is to blame? The weapon (religion) or the killer (politics)? As long as selfishness, greed and envy lurk in the hearts of mankind, unjust killings will never cease to occur. The killer is forever guilty and the weapon used is innocent. Peace! |

SPEAKING IN TONGUES ONE THING 1CORIN 14 SPEAKING DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUE ANOTHER THING ACTS 2 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, 21-22 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. Lovelies1: |

atoleybaba:My point is, you know you're not perfect, then stop condemning other people's practice. Don't give what you won't take. Stop doing what you say others are doing wrong and hide in the name of "nobody is perfect" that's Hippocratic. If I invite you to my church and you don't come, don't invite me to yours. If I can't come to preach to you at your house, don't come to mine. You guys should just marry yourself and grow your population. Stop trying to give people what you won't take. 1 Like |

Try to compare this chapter and verse from common jehova withness bible, you wont find this verse like this 1 John 5:7-8 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. |

Blendy77: jehovah witnesses are not controversial but some witnesses are fanatics they take some issues personal due to ego. I know an elder whose his daughter was impregnated by one witness. he wrote that he did not want to serve as elder until he solved his family problems. after many years, he managed his family well. the man later married the daughter and he even became jjehovah witness. both the father and son-in-law are serving as elder and ministerial servant respectively. the point is that if the father had disowned the daughter and still remained as elder, that family will not be united again. |

justli: Are you aware that Abraham entertained angels in his day? He even cooked for them and they ate food. Are angels not spirit creatures? They are. But when they put on human body they act as humans. Read please Genesis chapters 18 and 19. Apostle Peter said categorically that Jesus Christ was resurrected as a spirit person. Read please 1st Peter chapter 3:18. That Bible portion says that Christ was killed as a flesh but was resurrected as a spirit. That was why he could manifest or materialize and dematerialize. Spirits materialize when they take on human form, but can dematerialize to assume their spirit form. In this way, after his resurrection Jesus could enter into a room with all doors closed, as he did severally after his resurrection. So Jesus put on his human life as a pierced person to convince Thomas. If it was his real human body, there is no way the injury would have healed in just three days. Could it? Why was the body not found when his disciples got to the tomb? The Bible had already prophesied that that Jesus perfect body will not get rotten - because it was a perfect body. Read Psalm 16:10. Not even one of his bones was broken when he was executed. All that to fulfill that prophecy. Yes, there is a spirit body and there is a human body often referred to as flesh. Since our human eyes are limited, it cannot see a spirit body, hence spirits will have to materialize so that we can see them, as often did the angels of God in ancient time. . |

wisewordd: Out of 12 apostles Jesus had, one turned out bad. He betrayed him. Were the remaining 11 apostles condemned because of the action of Judas? Was it their fault he went bad? Did the people then discredit the remaining apostles? Everyone is responsible for their actions individually. The fact still remains that Jehovah's organisation does not condone any form of wrongdoing. Any wrongdoer is disciplined. The bible says "Everyone will carry his own load". |
