Brilliant question.

You told us how you enjoyed Jehovah's Witnesses' teachings. I pointed out to you that the things you learnt will leave you more confused.

My point. Religion (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) is a Jewish scam. The bible doesn't answer any of mankind's questions;

1. Why are we here? Genesis Chapter 1 and 2 answer that question.
2. How did we get here? The book of Genesis also made it clear Jehovah created the Heaven and the earth for first parents that why we are here. Genesis chapter 1 and 2 answer that question
3. Why are we in different races and languages? Genesis 11 vs 1 to 9
4. Why are they disasters and wars? Mathew 24 vs 1 to 15
5. What is consciousness? The ability to choose what's right from wrong.

6. Why are some poor and some rich and some in between? Tricky question God created our first parent perfect the earth was created to benefit mankind but man it's was not satisfy with what they have our first parents wanted more that was why Satan deceive them. And also was why did cain killed abel, for no good reason human deserve more that's why our greed led to the social stratification in those day and even in our days we experience it. Our greed brought the rich and poor.

7. Why is religion proliferating by the day? The book of Mathew 24 vs 9 to 13 also Matthew 7 vs 21 to 23

8. What happens after death? Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10.) Psalm 146:4 says that when a man dies, “his thoughts perish. Revelation 21 vs 4. Jesus also refer to death as alseep John 11 vs 11-14 Act 7 vs 60. Even Paul wrote about some in his day who had “fallen asleep in death.”—1 Corinthians 15:6. While John 5 vs 28 and 29 talks about resurrection of those who have died.



Jehovah made humans to live forever on earth


9. Is there a devil and hell? The Devil conversed with and “tempted” Jesus. (Matthew 4:1-4) So the Devil is not imaginary, nor is he just a symbol of evil. He is a wicked spirit person.

The Devil was originally a holy angel, but “he did not stand fast in the truth.” (John 8:44) He became a liar and rebelled against God.

Other angels joined Satan’s rebellion.—Revelation 12:9.

The Devil blinds many people to his existence.—2 Corinthians 4:4.

HELL
Hell (“Sheol” and “Hades” in the Bible’s original languages) is simply the grave, not a place of fiery torment. Who go to hell? Both good people and bad people. (Job 14:13; Psalm 9:17) The Bible says that this common grave of mankind is “the house of meeting for everyone living.”—Job 30:23.

Even Jesus went to hell when he died. However, “he was not kept in hell,” because God resurrected him.—Acts 2:31, 32, The Bible in Basic English.

Is hell eternal?
All those who go to hell will come back out, brought to life by Jesus through God’s power. (John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) Speaking of that future resurrection, the prophecy at Revelation 20:13 says that “death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.” (King James Version) Once hell has been emptied, it will no longer exist; no one will ever go there again because “death will be no more.”—Revelation 21:3, 4; 20:14.

10. Is there a heaven and God as the religions want us to believe?
Deuteronomy 10:14 Nehemiah 9:6 Genesis 2:4 2 Chronicles 6:18

Read and answer yourself


Dare to tell me religion has given you a satisfactory answer to any of the above questions except quoting from a bible that is decadent and divided and leaving you more confused.

If the bible has a satisfactory answer why does different denominations give different answers to these questions?

Gr8fulHeart:


if u have andriod phone, go to playstore and download jwlibrary or go to www.jw.org, ul see a place we're you can download d app from the site. hope that helps
Jehovah"s witneses use other bibles pls

rottennaija:



He is a jw. He just wants others to take him seriously, that why he is pretending. At first, it appears he isn't, I needed to check his profile to find out.


@bolded, you get it wrong too. Other try their best to follow the Bible as well. I guess you haven't studied their lives much.



That is exactly one of the hypocrisy I'm talking about. You claim others burrow their doctrine from paganism but you don't know that your 1914 doctrine is also borrow from paganism. I'm sure you don't know about that.


Try learning a little about pyramidology and Russel. that's how you will know how the whole idea of 1914 came in and when Rutherford later did away with pyramidology doctrine calling it paganism, they had to look for a way of still maintaining the 1914 doctrine without discrediting themselves and they are good, because they found a way, but still fall short, relating event that had to relationship to arrive e at 1914.

But we'll, since it has paganic origin, you wouldn't fund any link in any of the Watchtower library.

dumo1:

Thanks a lot. I am a witness too. I do know we use other bibles cos it's sometimes quoted in magazines and articles. I would take New word translation over any other bible the English is so simple for even a layman to understand as compared to the ancient English in the king James version I once used in my former lifetime

paulGrundy:


There are other translations with equally simple English, e.g NASB version which was written in everyday language. I think the problem stems from the fact that you don't trust other versions, you believe they were influenced by "satan" or "babylon the great".

joyandfaith:


How many English versions of bible have you seen?

why Jehovah/Yahweh was removed from the version?Is it right to change someone name if you do not know how to pronounce it?

paulGrundy:


Aha! Now you are talking, just so you know Jehovah is not Gods name it was derived by combining the Latin letters JHVH with the vowels of Adonai (lord)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah

The Divine Name Brochure p.10, by the Watchtower Society states:

"Even though the modern pronunciation Jehovah might not be exactly the way it was pronounced originally, this in no way detracts from the importance of the name. While many translators favor the pronunciation Yahweh, the New World Translation and also a number of other translations continue the use of the form Jehovah because of people's familiarity with it for centuries."

His name is yahweh. The Jews don't usually pronounce the name, so its pronounciation is unknown.

Secondly the original manuscripts of the new testament was written in greek and there was no record of the usage of Jehovah. But the watchtower still went ahead to include the word while admitting that it was not in the original scriptures. This was their defense.

Proclaimers p.99 claims:

"The conventioners were thrilled to learn that this new translation [NWT] restored the divine name Jehovah 237 times in the main text from Matthew to Revelation!"

The fundamental flaw of the NWT is this insertion of the word Jehovah 237 times into the New Testament. Watchtower justifies this insertion by claiming all known New Testament manuscripts are inaccurate. This is vitally important because such a claim undermines the integrity of the Bible.

I don't even have time to or read your long copy and paste trash.

ajepako:
Go to JW .org for answers..

Proudly JW....

coachwilcox:


Exactly. That's why you were disfellowshipped. Because you're a chronic fornicator and your present embassy condones it; contrary to bible teaching.

paulGrundy:


That's very wrong! I may be obssesed with witnesses, but am not closed minded.

On two occasions I rejected my preconcieved doctrines after subjecting to biblical evidence I accepted that the witnesses were right.

In this thread I corrected my self after realizing that man is a living soul and not made up of body, soul and spirit as non-JW's claim.

https://www.nairaland.com/2594661/jw-dummies/1

Here I admited to a witness stance that Jesus ressurected with a spiritual body.

i was a regular pioneer before i slept with the elder and MS. but now i hate JW and kingdom hall

paulGrundy:
Funny

I was not, will not be a JW. You left me with a scripture, let me leave you with a question, can ACCURATE and COMPLETE truth adjust over time?

irunooboo:
I was disfellowshiped in 2010 after i slept with an elder and a ministerial servant while the others were reproved I am attending christ embassy now and God has truly shown me the way

athorello:
I've lost touch with JWits. They were weekly callers at home while my dad was alive. Used to read their books and journals like mad. Library is still stocked with many of their literatures. Yeah, that's back then but I still have many of them as friends. On the average, jw has some of the best behaved folks as a religious organization.

All I care for now is my jw girl. But our love is yet to permeate religious boundary. According to jw, ur associates should not just respect your beliefs. They must hold them too. But to me, understanding and respect with love is key.

I'm now more of a church decentralised Christian though I currently hold my stronger ties to rccg. Formerly dlbc. I have my parents church (ccdc, don't ask me) at home, Salvation ministries half of the time this year. Winners, blw, ag, cgm, Baptist, Anglican, the apostolic faith, et al are places I do or have been to not forgetting the various campus fellowships back then (Gtan, dlcf, tlt, rcf, cfi, e-life, few others). Never been to Catholic, cele, church of christ or even jw (Kingdom hall). Who else is like me?

You that have searched the scriptures give me just an answer to one of the questions I put up.

Okay. I'll give you time to ask people you think knows the bible if you don't know.

I'm particularly waiting for a Jehovah's Witness answer.

Omagzee:


exactly thats where my problem lie too, how can the truth, inspired by "the Holy Spirit" turnout to be false later?
Or is the Holy spirit a liar now?
Me no just understand
