IamAsiri: there was no time Jehovah witnesses said holy Spirit left. maybe you didn't understood what is being said. is there any verse in the Bible that suggest one should speak in tongues for personal edification? after speaking in tongues, can you really write down or understand what you said? speaking in tongues was meant to serve a purpose and that is to help the apostles spread the good news to all sorts of people and languages. I want you to read act 2:4-11. maybe you will figure out what it really meant to speak in tongues Acts 2:4-11 New International Version (NIV) All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” |

Mutaultope: Before you share false gist, confirm if its true. It is not typical of witnesses to say "we are here to preach the gospel.". Gospel? Nah. That's not how we preach my friend. We use words like "share the good news about the kingdom of God". Get 1000 witnesses to preach to you and you will never hear them preach that way. To the issue of prayer, the bible says "Pray without ceasing". Jehovah is the one who asks us to pray to him regularly, so why would we only pray once a day? I can't count the number of times i pray in a day. People find pleasure in cooking stories about Witnesses just to fuel to widespread hate. Its wise to find out which is true and false before you believe |

Narijoel:U are too small for me to deal with on this subject. I ll dismember u n expose your folly. JW, an hypocritical gathering who believes they are more sanctimonious than the pope. Let me shock you: I personally took time to undercover your antics via your theocratic ministry. My close friend n ex-baby were JW. I know so much about u like the lyrics in Davido's Fall.

Narijoel: So you can regurgitate some of the rebuttals you have been taught? Start by doing a little detective work on jw by asking a little question: "what if Jehovah witness is a false religion?" Pretend to investigate this question as a detective and see what you fine. If you haven't questioned a believe from the other end, then you're just been brainwashed 1 Like 1 Share |

Lostz: It's so funny the way you always tend to ignore some bible passages. Please how do you explain 1 Corinthians 14:4 if you may? And how do you relate it to just using it as a tool to preach to others of other languages alone? If speaking in unknown tongues is just to speak to other people while using an interpreter, then what do you understand as using it as a means to communicate with God? Or you do not believe that? And yes, the Holy Spirit gives me insight into the things I say. |

This religion has destroyed countless homes and families. This religion is the proverbial sheep in wolf covering. They harbor child molesters, refusing to report them to the authorities, and victims of child molestation who choose to leave the religion because of injustice meted to them are shunned forever by loved ones, unless they return to the group. Jws will not even report to the authorities one who confesses to killing people. It's a one way street, and thier love is conditional. They love bomb you when you become thier member; but once you uncover thier false doctrines and head for the exit, they accuse of leaving Jehovah and then withdraw all thier conditional love. They tell everyone of thier members, your members who are Jws inclusive to shun you, never to even say a greeting to you.If you live with your parent at the time of making this decision, then you must leave the home, and your parents must never speak with you again unless you return back to the group. Bottom line is this, although Jws regard as worldly and a Babylonian anyone not a member of thier cult, you're better off never joining the religion. If you ever join the religion, you must never leave. If you do, you'll loose everything and everyone you've ever known and had as friend or family. They are a deadly cult. Doubt me, go to the internet, read, watch and hear the stories of survivors of this Abusive religion. 2 Likes |

Why don't you guys marry outside your church but your members have sexual intercourse with non members. We, Jehovah's witnesses respect the sanity of marriage and work hard to marry those who share our faiths, believes and traditions. We're not imperfect minds, who do all our utmost to keep relationship with our creator. Why don't you guys accept other churches books and listen to their preaching but you go around knocking on people's doors. As commanded by our leader, Jesus Christ, we heed to the call to preach to everyone who cares to listen to the good news we bring. We're not at People's doorsteps to do trade by barter. Why don't you guys enter other churches if invited to weddings or anniversaries, which I know you do celebrate. Why? Thanks for the observation and gestures made about us. We do enjoy social occasions and gatherings with our neighbours. |

BENARI: Jehovah's Witnesses are not in Saturn. Visit our kingdom hall with an open mind, attend and see for yourself, not internet stories. Even Jesus had false stories spread about him. So who are we not to be lied against? If you were once a Witness who was disfellowshipped for wrongdoing then i understand why you might be bitter. But one thing is for sure... Jehovah's Witnesses DO NOT shield anyone from wrongdoing. If you commit an offence punishable by the law, no one will hide you away from your sin. |
