thats my annoyance with them....they use thier own discretion to complete meanings to bible context

True and I know. But I want him to direct me to the specific place that says so, because I know there may be things he missed from the place.

Why is this "g" in small letter?

Because the Bible refer to them as men after their own bellies. Their bellies are their gods. By their fruits you shall know them. How many of Jesus disciples was ever accused of theft, fornication, adultery etc? But isn't that happening to your men of god today? Apostle Mustapha said he has never seen otobo before, but later we found out he was sending different kinds of currencies to her. Abi, I lie?

Jehovah witnesses do not believe in spirits why?
Simple.. Science can not explain spirituality in its sense.

Jehovah witnesses claims that man is just dust but that is a lie!! Man is spirit he lives in a body and has a soul.


They believe everything must be explained based on evidences not just mere sayings and promises. That in itself is the definition of science; science is knowledge and facts obtained from a careful study.

As a christian, you can not correlate a lot of things based on evidences and facts.. For example ; Jesus feeding 5 thousand men with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, Jesus being rasied from the dead after 3 days even after being emballmed, Etc

Jehovah witnesses claim the bible only offers comfort not healings and should not be used as a tool for getting rid of sickenesses.. This is very contrary to what the bible says.


In conclusion, you can not be a true christian and based your belief on science and facts.. Because God himself said "BELIEVE FIRST"... Faith believes blindly..


Oga sir, tell us why Paul didn't heal Timothy of his stomach problem.

So Apostle Mustapha is your basis for the conclusion. The fact that there is a fake is evident that there is an original.
Are there real men of the God in the world? You seem to focus more on the negative and base your argument on it.

At the same time, must you people come here to say wrong things about Jehovahs Witnesses every week. What you dont know is that the more you think you are destroying them, the more you are promoting them. Satan himself has not succeeded in silencing JW, not to talk of you nairalanders. Keep on doing it, you are just propagating their names indirectly.

Who tells you Satan is interested in silencing them? Why would he when they are doing what he wants them to do and believed? Why should he?

When JWs have doctrines that are contrary to the Bible and are false, who are they serving?

No you are the one who is missing the point. Any pastor that says he or she is from God because he is performing miracles is not realy from God, either it is fake or the source of the power is from another place, definitely not from God, why? The Bible made it clear that the ability to perform powerful works will be done away with. Infact 1 Corinthians 13 made it very clear, that the mark of True Christians is if they have love among themselves, initially powerful works were used to convince people that God was with a particular person, but when the Knowledge is complete, it will no longer feature on the menu, at the time Apostle Paul wrote that letter, Bible was not yet complete, in fact that letter is part of the Bible. One thing true followers of Christ can have among themselves is love, but followers of the devil cannot have love among themselves, even the magic practicing priests of Egypt changed their staff to snakes in imitation of Moses.
John 13: 35 Says "by this all will knkw you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.

Be more specific, where exactly in 1 Co 13 says that when the complete Bible comes, that miracles and other spiritual gift will be no more?

I am still waiting for your answer. Because I have some things to draw to your attention. And no, this isn't persecution but purely Bible discussion (before you shout persecution.)

No true Jehovah's Witness ever leaves. Jesus Christ is our leader and you know he's not fake.
And when everything we do is backed by the Bible, we can confidently say we are the only set of people serving God the only way he set out in the Bible.

Tell us one thing Jehovah's Witnesses do that is not in the Bible. We don't bring human traditions into our worship to Jehovah. We don't bring man made ideas into our teachings. We don't celebrate anything with pagan origin. Can you say the same about your church?

Did you know? While Jesus performed miracles, many of the pharisees believe it was stage manage?
Scriptural proofs please, cos the last time I checked.... They believed the miracles were genuine just that they believed he got his powers from the devil and not God... So, show me where in the Bible where the pharisees believe his miracles were staged.

Either you are a jw or not. Which one is true jw again? Jws leave your religion and are still leaving. Any religion that doesn't allow members leave at their own will is a CULT
People cannot leave your church because they are in bondage. Jesus Christ is not the 8 old men in new York heading a publishing company. Don't say Jesus Christ is your leader cause he isn't supposed to make doctrinal errors or his beliefs never changes.

If you like cover non biblical teaching about the gift of perfoming miracles given to only first century Christians up. We know this explanation was given to you by those men in new York. If you like paint other religions and people black like the Pharisees. We acknowledge we are sinners and God will forgive us.
Don't bring human traditions talk here in order to shy away from the topic at hand. You wanna hide your weird non biblical beliefs.

It is better to follow human traditions than follow doggedly beliefs and doctrines that are never mentioned in the Bible. They are all human traditions my dear. Following a human tradition and acknowledging it is better than following a human tradition and lying about it saying it's biblical whereas, it is based on assumptions and mere human error.

Since this thread started no jw has boldly stated where in the Bible their beliefs come from. The only thing I have been hearing is how pastors are scammers. Prove your religion is not a scam by stating a bible verse.

But let me shock you. Do you know that even if your parents, your grandparents and your great grandparents are witness, it doesn't make you a witness? I'm sure you have never heard this before. See, my parents are witness and I was following till I got to SS 2, I had my doubts, I stopped attending their meetings. I gave myself freedom.

I agree with you. Not all Pastors are fake. But many of them are after the money and position. That is why it's their pictures and their wives pictures you identify first with the church even before you think about Jesus Christ. Many of them don't work. But as big and wide apostle Paul's ministry was, he still makes tent for a living. All Jesus' disciples had handworks they do to support themselves and their families, fathers, mothers and relatives. Tell me what your pastor does for a living.
