StPete:The ones that preached for me always start their teaching with prayer and also ends it with prayer. Though they don't do politics, joining of the armed forces, blood transfusion, hell fire, speaking in tongues, Christmas celebration. e.t.c. 1 Like |

WINDSOW:Alright case closed. Just take an assignment home, go and check the definition of hypocrisy again, check the Faith you practice ,check yourself and confirm if there exist any atom of hypocrisy there. If there is, you have the moral right to keep silent, because anything time you call JWs hypocritics on this platform, you become a master hypocrite yourself. Shalom |

wisewordd: I don't know what you mean by judge but i for one has never judged anyone belonging to another religion and i believe so many other Witnesses also do not. That is not what we are taught. There are millions of Witnesses in the world. You shouldn't judge millions of people with the action of one or two. |

Jehovah witness save my life. Growing up in Bariga in late 90's with all the craziness then, I don't think I would have made it out of the hell hole cos most of my friends did not made it alive, and those we made it, did not even finish secondary school not to talk of going to University. Their emphasis on reading turns me from E students to straight A student and I broke the Curse in my street the to be the first to attend Unilag. I am no longer a witness but most of their teaching is still with me. Hotzone: 3 Likes |

rosalieene: Jehovah's Witnesses believe strongly in prophecy. Jesus has revealed in the Bible events that will take place even a thousand years from now. We believe so much in those prophecies as enshrined in the Bible. So if Jesus' disciples have been told what will happen centuries from now, which other prophecy do we need again? Or you have another prophecy in mind? The entire Bible is God's prophetic word. Everyone believes his religion is the true one. So it should not come as a surprise that JW believe they are the true religion. If we don't believe why expend so much time and energy in a religion that you have doubts about it's authenticity. Believing that we are the true religion is a mark of virtue. Don't you believe in your religion? Really, have you tried to examine why the JW would hold such a belief so dear to our hearts? Why not try and do that please. . |

wisewordd: As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we enjoy discussing matters of faith with people of all religions, but we do not practice interfaith in the sense of worshipping with those who have other beliefs. As for the action of your friend's uncle, that was very wrong. We are taught to be tolerant of other people's religion. So the uncle's behaviour was not in line with what the bible teaches us |

It all started during my Baptism period. I finished all my study, ready for it and even told my parents who was not witness then only to be told I was not ready by the family that help with my studies. It hurt cos I can see people I was better than getting baptized and I felt it happen cos my parents was not a witness and gradually, I just keep losing interest. I tried to start going to meeting when I left Naija but could not keep up. The boat has sailed. Narijoel: |

justli:Is Jehovah's Witnesses a false religion? No So instead of wasting your time, trying to mislead people. Take your "truth" to your disorganized denominations with conflicting teachings and doctrines caused by their independent thoughts. Leave JWs with their united thought which unifies them around the world, cause that very fact is one of reasons why they are convinced that they've identified true religion. |

Puffydon1: Some folks want to see and hear the Witnesses disturbing the neighbourhood with microphone and engaging in frenzied display before they can believe that Jehovah's Witnesses believe in prayer. An average JW prays multiple times daily. Without prayer they cannot succeed as individuals and as an organization. Thank you for your fine observation. Unlike others we JW consider prayer a very serious part of our worship. . 1 Like |

Lovelies1:Jehovah was not created and had no beginning and He is invisible. on the other hand, Jesus was created, he was the first born of all creation, therefore had a beginning, he was visible as was seen when he came down to the earth.. see Colossians 1:15 and 16. look at the mental attitude that Christ had, at Philippians 2:5 and 6. he gave no consideration to seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. God has always existed. see psalms 90:2 no beginning, no end. he is the king of eternity see revelation 15:2. Jesus did not do his will but that of his father who sent him, see John 6:38, Luke 22:42.. Jesus did not at any point in time receive any nor hornor to himself or even in behalf of his father rather he directed all Glory and honor to his father, he reverend his father and no one else. Almighty God is not a three in one God. He is the highest personage in the whole universe and nothing can change that fact. |

joyandfaith: Did you read the article you posted?? It states blood transfusions are majorly safe and adverse reactions are RARE. And even states that it SAVES LIVES. You in no way disproved my point, but confirmed it. Any medical therapy and even medications will have a small chance of side effects and no doctor hides this. If the small chance of adverse reactions bother you, why bother taking medications or going to hospital at all? Why do Jehovah witnesses have major surgery then?? They have side effects too you know?? Why don't jehovah witnesses stay in their house and just pray? Consent form where?? Maybe in Nigeria cos of ppl like you 3 Likes |

mperornero: Thanks bro. When you realize its one of the most important command we were given at Matthew 24:14, you wouldn't see it as an issue. Our lives are at stake if we don't preach, including the lives of others who need to hear the truth get close to Jehovah. That is why we take this work of preaching, in favourable season and unfavourable. Its a work we enjoy because it makes Jehovah the God we serve, happy. |

Jesus have the charge to his disciples to baptize with this formular: In the name of the Father, And of the Son, And of the Holy Spirit. Any format outside this one is not baptism. So I ask any Jehovah's witness to tell me the format you use during your baptism. Again, how many times was the world supposed to end in Jehovah's Witness prophecies but the world never ended? Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas because the date is not in the Bible. So why do you use Roman Catholic calendar to commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ every year? But you don't call it Easter. I know this because I receive flyers every year about this particular event. Please can you show me where it is written in the Bible that the date for the event changes from year to year? #last year's date was not the same as this year's own# 1 Like |
