wisewordd:It's only in our midst that our own God is worshiped, we avoid any other gathering to keep the first and foremost order of our God {Exodus 20:4} other religionists don't keep this law! I know someone who went for a wedding but stayed outside till they came out, why?As worshipers of Jehovah we must avoid the gathering where people keep images for worship! A friend was chased out of the uncle's house because he refused to attend Jehovah witness with them, why? This is no hearsay. Can you accommodate a stranger in your home now with the fear of Covid19 everywhere? Well you can accommodate your own immediate family because they're your primary responsibility but as for strangers you will have to apply strict rules to stay safe. Similarly JWs will not accommodate you if you're not ready to keep the rules of our God which we strongly believe is life-saving! Proverbs 22:3 ![]() |

Investnow2017:yes Blood transfusion saves lives Once a medical doctor narrated on this forum that a woman who was on her labour, but need a blood transfusion to saves her life on cesarean delivery her husband rejected the blood transfusion and the woman died when there was no alternative. In every other doctrines and beliefs of the Jehovah witnesses I will agree. But the blood transfusion, that I rejected 1 Like |

Retrography: Let me first refine your questions. We do not commemorate the resurrection of Jesus. We do not celebrate Easter. What we commemorate is the day Jesus died. On that day he ate the bread and the wine and asked his apostles to keep doing it in remembrance of him in Luke 22:19. That is what we observe and its totally different from Easter |

xandy84: That is sad to hear, I guess those that studied with you gave you reasons why you should wait before committing yourself water baptism. Even if others who you felt you where better than were getting baptized, remember it is not a competition, it never is. The boat you think haven't sailed, hasn't. There is still time, though now short. You can contact Jehovah's Witnesses again, talk to the elders and arrange a study again, with time you will come to appreciate the organization once more and. Re-convince yourself why you wanted to be baptized as one if Jehovah's Witnesses. It takes time but with Jehovah's help you will do it. Check out jw.org website first, so you know what Jehovah's Witnesses are doing at this time. You can then pick it up from there. I wish you the best. |

joyandfaith: Forget nigeria, talk about proper countries. Transfusions are MAINLY safe. Surgery has its complications too, but does that stop JW from getting surgery ? Have you asked yourself why people die during surgery? Has that stopped JW from getting surgery? Or going to hospitals? Why not pray in your house althogeter? 1 Like |

chatinent: I agree 100% with the speaking in tongues bit. That has always been my belief and I am not a Jehovah's witness. Speaking in tongues simply means speaking in a different language for the benefit of the listener and I have seen it done. |

1Sharon: You are not quite right. My being a JW is not so much that I should not be destroyed in Armageddon. Firstly, I have come to love Jehovah from my knowledge of his personality which he has revealed through his inspired word the Bible. And I am very happy and pleased with the way he has purposed to settle the universal issue at stake, and also the love he has demonstrated by sending his only begotten Son Jesus Christ to furnish the random sacrifice on behalf of all those who would exercise faith in him. For a JW, our salvation is secondary. We have come to love Jehovah and are ready to worship him forever on paradise earth under his government. Our devotion to God is beyond our desire to be saved; and of course we believe our unfailing God who cannot lie will reward our loyalty and faithfulness just as he has promised. Hope I am clear? . |

Ogagawhite: Jesus Christ himself was a Jehovah's Witness. Do we need to meet him to know who Jehovah's Witnesses are? The answer is already here, dear. Have you taken time to read and meditate on Isaiah chapter 43? There is so much in that chapter to enlighten you so you know the spiritual significance of that Bible based name JEHOVAH'S WITNESS. . |

1Sharon: patients or relatives must sign consent form before before receiving blood. it is standard practice transfusion medicine worldwide. is blood transfusion safe. answer is no. it is becoming safer does not mean it is safe. DO NOT TELL ME BLOOD IS SAFE? all forms of treatment including surgeries or medication have their complications or adverse effects. nothing is really safe in medicine. that is why we have concept of patient-centred healthcare on deviation from past doctor- centred care. |

Re: Five (5) Misconceptions About Jehovah's Witnesses. by mitchyy(f): 3:45pm On May 31, 2020 |
Retrography: In discussing this place in Matthew 13:42, Jesus did not use the word “Hades,” the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word “Sheol.” Rather, he used the word “Gehenna” in the Hebrew version. This word referred to a refuse dump close to Jerusalem, called the Valley of Hinnom, where a fire was kept burning to destroy the garbage. It was a fitting term to make Jesus’ listeners think, not of eternal suffering, but of complete destruction, annihilation by fire. He drove this point home when he warned that God “can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.” (Matthew 10:28, NAB) Gehenna is a symbol of eternal death, not eternal torture. God is a God of love. He does not torture people eternally in hell. Infact he outrightly stated it so many times how much he hates the idea of burning children in the fire. He said it is detestable for people to burn their children. (Jeremiah 32:35 Ezekiel 23:37, Ezekiel 16:21). So who is lying and spreading these lies? Obviously someone who wants to paint Jehovah as a cruel God, Satan the Devil. That doesn't mean he will tolerate wickedness. The wicked ones will be destroyed indefinitely. |

CAPSLOCKED:No it don't surprise me, What is more surprising is when these other religious sect/cult/gang/atheists foam in the mouth and have numerous sleepless nights because a particular group known as Jehovah's Witnesses also chose to believe that they have the truth because of their convictions backed by evidence. |
