Ok. Your fellow witness main issue seems to be safety.

And I hope you know taking blood intravenously is different from eating

How is it different? If I tell you not to drink alcohol, for example, would you infuse it into your system?

Kindly stop engaging that moniker, what you are even discussing with him is well known to him, he is just here to chase clout, not learn.
I fear your time and efforts will be wasted trying to reason with such person. We can only give him a chance offline.
Maximus69 would know better.

There are many of them on Nairaland, once they notice someone asking questions to know about JWs, they will all surface with their endless arguments.

So immediately i find an interested person i will direct them to go and find JWs in the neighbourhood! smiley

"Charity begins at home" is what most people do say and know, but majority don't know the completion of that adage:

"but it doesn't end there"

So let the followers learn through experience! smiley

Now you are being delusional frankly, you are making a fool of yourself.
Who told you I hate witnesses? I hate the bullshit you teach and for your information, she is an adult who saw me as a partner even though she knows where my belief lies and that I can never change.It is her decision to choose who she falls in love with not your cult group. I will cause you more sefia pains so that you can go to the nearest distribution substation with omo water and wash a live power transformer.
You see am her world. Devil incarnate and enemy of progress.

go and marry your church member. if she is reading this, she will be ashamed of herself. walahi. your so-called 'love' is living double life. all of you should continue , it is ok. fine.

Abstain from blood sacrificed to idols, the person donating blood wasn't sacrificed to idols. The way you guys twist the bible surprises me that you guys have no fear of God in you.

Stop lying. They don't sign shit, the patient is simply informed orally. No paperwork is needed.

Blood transfusions are safe! Did you even read the links you sent to me??

Show me where it's stated that transfusions are becoming safer and not ALREADY safe?

Since you agree that nothing is 100% safe why do JW pick on blood transfusions only?

Why do JW bother getting medical treatment at all? Why not pray in your house, since SAFETY seems to be your main issue?

You lot are just hypocrites.

where are u practicing that they do not use consent form for blood ? sambisa forest. ok. continue. you think blood is safe. even paracetamol is safe takes of blood. if you safe blood is safe. it is ok, continue. egungun will soon enter express.

who told jehovah witnesses do not receive medical care? are a aware of alternatives to blood?

I have made it an habit of checking previous posts of people who engage me negatively on Nairaland. It often reveals the kind of person they truly are online. Saves me a lot of time and stress. btw I have been following your discussions on this platform, really impressed, I hope to meet you someday.

There is no need to argue on this Sir!

Jesus set the standard we are following, when Mary (his mother) Joseph-junior, James, Jude and Simon (his four blood brothers from the same mother) came to where he was preaching, an individual called Jesus' attention perhaps to honour their presence. Jesus said about his own relatives "who is my mother and who are my brothers?" then extending his hands to those listening to his preaching his said "look my mothers, brothers, father's and sisters, whoever does the will of the one who sent me is my brother and sister and father" Matthew 12:46-49

So to Jesus only his fellow believers are his families NOT those related to him!

For your information, it was only James and Judes joined their mother to accept Jesus, according to Jesus the rest of his brothers and sisters have perished! John 3:16-18
Because you were there sharing bread and fish to the followers, I still want to know how Jesus denounced his followers from what you just said.

1.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven.
Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth.

.
Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe.
.
2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell.
.
Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.'
.
3.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.
.
4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues.
.
Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind.

.
5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die.
.
Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world?

Op why don't you include this in your myth and common misconception

In the land of JWS there are two biggest ORGANIZATIONS

1. JEHOVAH'S ORGANIZATION(WTBTS)*as a registered and made legal under SATAN'S ORGANIZATION.

2. SATAN'S ORGANIZATION( Every other organization in the world you can think of be it RELIGIOUS, COMMERCIAL, POLITICAL, NON GOVERNMENTAL, GOVERNMENTAL, HEALTH, EDUCATIONAL e.t.c

Something for the Op to think about, Do you agree to the fact that DIRECTLY or INDIRECTLY that members of Jehovah's organization work for satan organization?

Do you believe only members of Jehovah's organization will be saved?

Why does the NWT refer to Jesus As God in Isaiah 9:6 ?

And

a god in John 1:1

Why the confusion?.....
Strong's Greek 1510 & Strong's Greek 2316 in Acts 28:8 and John 1:1 mean the same thing = "was a god"

THE Greek grammatical construct DESTROY Trinity FRAUD yakata grin.
John 1:1 Greek says "the Word is facing towards the God Almighty.
The Word is NOT the God Almighty.
Because John 1:18 says "No man has seen God at anytime"
Trinitarians STOP DECEIVING gullible folks with your John 1:1 FRAUD.

Mighty God (Hebrew EL-Gibbowr meaning "Mighty One"wink is a title for man, Jesus, angels , deity/goddess and Yahweh.
No confusion there,no PROOF of Trinity.

They know where to get the best husbands and wives, in the midst of those who have FAITH

That's why most young ladies and young men go to churches today.
But what the problem is the rate at which they get divorced too soon!
Even their Pastors are divorcing their wives, so after noticing how faithful most JWs are with their own husbands and wives, and how charming these ladies are, they wish to marry JWs but they detest our God and his standards!

Stop confusing yourself sir.

The first thing to understand is the JW believe there are multiple Gods. Jesus is A God, but not God Almighty. This verse is actually used to separate Jesus Christ from Jehovah.

At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ, “Mighty God” (not ʼEl Shad·daiʹ [God Almighty], which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1)."

Jesus Christ is "Mighty God" Jehovah is "God Almighty" Almighty is clearly a higher title than simply Mighty, which could include anybody who is considered Mighty, and a God, as JW consider Jesus.


Do you have more questions?



Yes I do!....reconcile this for me!

Jer 32:
18You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps of their children after them. Great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord Almighty,

Jehovah is called Mighty God as well. It says that the Mighty God's name is Lord Almighty.

"Ye are gods"

Your misinterpretation is based on referring to God as Jehovah. You are totally wrong, God Almighty is Jehovah.

So when you say Jesus is God you sound correct but Jesus isn't God Almighty.

The bible establishes a clear difference bw g and G, I believe.... If u want to merge both just to win an argument suit urself.

But I know the bible would never say God of the ammonite.....rather it would use god of the anmonite
