A JW will rather seek the help of witch doctors than pray for miracle. I was once advised by one JW woman to rub some charms in my lips for job interview success and i looked at her astonishingly but said since am not yet a baptized brother that there's nothing wrong with that.
Lies. A true JW won't tell u that. Are there not Christians and Muslims who visit native doctors even when they portray being righteous and religious to the society,?

Jehovah witness are evidence based people. They try to use science to explain everything.

God doesn't work like that, God says believe and you shall see.

Jehovahs witness says "See then believe" they do not believe anything unless there is a scientific explanation for it

That my friend is not all true. The parent organization of jehovah's witnesses deliberately uses misleading information and sometimes outdated science to misinformed their members, especially in discussions of evolution and blood transfusion. To know how that is done, pls go through this

You are mostly wrong. They try to find a common ground between the Bible and science. Making it facts. Revealing that things are just discovered by science today have been talked about in the Bible years ago. In fact they criticise science and scientist when the need arises especially in the issue of Evolution theory

I just got to know of this yesterday.

They believe that the power to perform miracles by Christians ended with the first century Christians.
I'm still surprised.
The reason simple, they do not understand the gospel of JESUS CHRIST which is clearly stated in John 10:10 and JESUS further says that as The Father sent Him so did He send US. Therefore, if u understand this why would you find it difficult to understand that the people you want to lead to CHRIST may be oppressed and need to be delivered? By doing that, you are not only opposing the truth but opposing yourself.

Modern miracles by so called faith healers are stage-managed, make- believe. I wonder why people fail to see through their nose. Why not have a physically challenged person walk up to a supposed healer(pastor )uninformed and request for healing .see whether you will get any answer.

inasmuch as I want to agree wholeheartedly with you....I'm also very careful not to condemn people too much even with insults

truth is hypocrisy abounds in religion as the Devil has decided to transform himself into an angel of light in order to deceive many.... unfortunately most people are not able to recognize his schemes

Am sure u dont even know the meaning of miracle..... How can you just generalize that witnesses don't believe in miracles. You could as well say they don't believe Jesus and his miracles. One of the biggest miracle they believe in the wonderful privilege to sleep and wake up the next day.

I don't think they disbelieve in miracles...they just don't believe in the peddling of miracles like in today's Nigerian churches. Where you are even threatened to pay tithes(hmmm)...99 % of the so called miracles In Nigerian churches are 100% fake... These pastors scam you and bask in the glory of your followership... They have made themselves Gods of Men... And people really believe they got powers?...how many have healed a polio case?... They tell you; the lame walks... Yet it's all stage managing... Stories

A man looks for a woman to marry, he sees a beautiful damsel passing by his street, he wants to know her better but instead of interacting with her or possibly looking for her family n true friends he tracks down people on the street, he asks women who she's traded with, bus drivers whose bus she's entered going about her activities. Finally he concludes that he can't marry or even chase after hearing all the things they said. He never talks to her even when she passes his street daily on her way home. That's how I view this whole chat.
Witnesses are everywhere perhaps some have visited your homes but instead of asking them the questions you want an answer to you come to Nairaland for answers. Hope you find what you're looking for oh.

Whether they believe in it or not, the true fact is that most modern day miracles are scams. Any pastor that knows he can perform miracles like in the so-called olden days should go to the hospitals and mortuaries where there are enough infirm and dead people awaiting their 'miracle'. Nonsense.
YOU ARE CORRECT. THE TRUTH IS THAT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. MIRACLES HAPPEN TO US ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT WE ARE FAILING TO ACKNOWLEDE THEM. FOR EXAMPLE YOU SLEEP & WAKE UP EVERYDAY. THE WAY THE HUMAN BODY / THE UNIVERSE IS DESIGN IS ABOVE OUR UNDERSTANDING. THERE WAS A FATAL ACCIDENT & PEOPLE CAME OUT UNTOUCHED & MANY MORE. THESE ARE MIRACLES.

It doesn't matter what people believe. Fact is, miracle doesn't happen anywhere except in nollywood movies and church dramas stage managed by pastors. If miracle is real, Ayefele would have been able to walk a long time ago and Cobhams won't still be blind by now.





Not surprising that you got many likes as many are ignorant of the word of God. Read the scripture below.

And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
Luke 4:27 KJV


Those are the words of Jesus. That miracles happen does not guarantee that it would happen to everyone. Not believing already exempts a man from experiencing miracles but by the mercies of God. Contrary to your first sentence, It actually matters what you believe.

Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40 NIV

And you think "here" is where you'll get the answer? Abegi. What's stops you from seeking out one or two jw members and put this question to them?

I hope you got your answers? cos all I've read so far is the body of Christ being put to scrutiny and mockery by many who knows nothing and don't care to know.



Mind you I'm a non- denominated Christian! So don't go thinking I'm JW cos I'll also take same stance had it been Celestial or Catholic.

you took words out of my mouth , my cousin that is a very strong JW used to argue that the era of miracles are over that all miracles happening now are fake but when their daughter got sick he and the wife took the child to a native doctor , they believe native doctors more , and again these people hate christ with passion , they don't celebrate Christmas or birthdays but they are the first to celebrate easter , mocking jesus death, somebody u don't like when he was born how can u say u are celebrating his death except mocking him
