JW's don't marry other Christians because they believe that other Christians are rejected by God and are reserved for destruction on Judgement day. Their leadership have already judged other Christians and presumptuously made themselves approved by God. There was a time I was out for preaching and a church group was sharing handbills when they gave a bill to the woman with me she reacted in an unusual impolite manner. You can imagine the way a fanatic Christian would behave if given a charm to hold. The leadership has instructed them not to be involved in any kind of work in a religious building. So if you are a bricklayer you cannot do your work in a church building. The funny thing is that their leadership went and registered as an NGO of the UN. Jehovahs Witnesses are taught that the UN is the image of the wild beast. The leadership has also continued to spew out false prophesies. The most recent once includes millions living today will never die. This prophecy started before 1989 but a watchtower magazine of 1989 has that caption. The millions that would never die were those of them that claim to be anointed that were born 1914, would never die before Christ returns. Now we are in 2020, those millions that would never die are now a handful, that was a false prophecy. Since that did not work they came up with a new doctrine to compensate for this foolishness. The new doctrine is the doctrine of overlapping generations. If you go through this doctrine, any human being with a normal brain will know that it is complete nonsense. What does the Bible say about someone that speaks falsely in the name of Yehovah. I will quote from the Bible. Deut.18.20 - But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death." Deut.18.21 - You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" Deut.18.22 - If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him. A false prophet makes a prophecy so that people can follow him. So if we see that a person speaks falsely in God's name we should not follow such persons. Unfortunately the leadership of Jehovahs Witnesses has instructed their members to follow all instructions given by them even if it does not sound reasonable. The leadership is struggling with many child abuse court cases because their two witness rule make the organization a haven for child molesters. Does the Bible actually say two witnesses should be available before a rape case could be established? NO. Deut.22.25 - But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. Deut.22.26 - Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, Deut.22.27 - for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her. So many minors have been raped and parents are instructed not to report because of the two witness rule, while the Bible makes provision for a helpless woman that is raped. These senseless leaders are simply hungry for followership and have made sure they keep a tight grip on the people.

Jehovah's witnesses are not Christians. They are jehovites just like the judaisers and therefore, see Christians as evil. |

Anybody can take pill for prevention not religion mandatory. let me tell u a short story. I wrote my second jamb year 2012, at oji-rami Akoko Edo, Edo state. I knew no one there, I got there on Friday, to write my exams on Saturday, I met a JW, there at the village, I stayed with him, his son took me to the venue of the exams, I saw a two nigga that get where to sleep I came back home to tell the man how helpless the guys was, he told me he can't accept them, that he only help me because I was affilated to Jehovah witness. those guys sleep inside bush, just imagine, what if those guys die there or something bad happened to them. God's love is for everyone, you can say u love base on segregation, that's is not love is infatuation, okay. I have so many experienced with JW... my advice for you is dis if u re not born into JW, wo alaye, you go suffer ehn, but u were born there u parent fit they huzzling for u unknown to you.. Dont you know to make it in this life u must be back up with of the two forces, either devil or God forces. since u guys go inline with oyinbo religion it will be hard for u guys to maintain the normal Africa battle and the verse that open ur eyes to God spirituality had been removed from ur bible. u guys gat no option Dan to seek after jazz man. open ur eyes. everything wey happen to human being not Jehovah's wishes, some happen due to ur ignorance. jare e. |

Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Not Marry Other ' Christians '? by achorladey: 12:16pm On Jul 26, 2020 |
chatinent: Chantinent: Of course, Christians who want to marry are commanded to choose only a fellow believer. ( 1 Corinthians 7:39) Achorladey: Next time quote the Scriptures so that we see if nothing is HIDDEN......1 Corinthians 7:39......woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord......NWT.......only in the Lord. The question needed to be asked here is are other CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS in the Lord or not? Do they belong to the Lord? Who is the Lord of JWS? At least it's an open secret that other Christian denomination regards JESUS as their personal Lord and Saviour. Your response will show whether you follow the command of the Bible or interpretation of Governing Body. Chantinent: Jehovah’s Witnesses view this command as referring not merely to a person who respects our beliefs but to one who shares and practices those beliefs as a baptized Witness. ( 2 Corinthians 6:14) Achorladey: The above post makes the whole thing interesting. Why? According to you JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES VIEW THIS COMMAND........then followed by your denomination interpretation of the command and dumped what the Bible states ONESIDE To you belonging to the Lord or marrying only in the Lord means. one who shares and practices those beliefs as a baptized witness. Is that what Paul meant? Are those that died before the RELIGION of JWS come into the scene not in the LORD or do they not belong to the Lord since they didn't practice and share your beliefs? Now to 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness Chantinent tell us the meaning of unbelievers according to the Scriptures you cited? Equally tell us who is a BELIEVER scripturally. Are you aware that someone who was born inside the ORGANIZATION of Jehovah's witnesses and had completed the required study material for baptizing but decided not to get baptized is a BELIEVER? Since that person is called a BELIEVER, can any JW marry such person in line with the 1 Corinthians 6:14 you cited up there since the person is not an UNBELIEVER? Chantinent: God has always directed his worshippers to marry only those of the same faith. Achorladey: What is that FAITH that bind Christian together? Or in your view JWS and CHRISTENDOM together? Are you mixing your DOCTRINES, BELIEFS, TEACHING as FAITH? Galatians 3: 23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that [b]this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith Chantinent: (Genesis 24:3; Malachi 2:11) Achorladey: Initially I don't want to quote those Scriptures since we are talking about CHRISTIANS? Perhaps if you can SEPARATE the JEWS(worshippers of true God) and the people of the nations(GENTILES worshippers of foreign god) among we NAIRALANDERS we will appreciate. Malachi 2:11Judah has been unfaithful. A detestable thing has been committed in Israel and in Jerusalem: Judah has desecrated the sanctuary the Lord loves by marrying women who worship a foreign god Applying the Malachi 2:11 in this case as it regards marrying ONLY IN THE LORD. Will you call the Lord(JESUS Christ) of Christendom a foreign god? Do Christendom (other denominations apart from JWS) worship a foreign god? Chantinent: This command is also practical, as modern researchers have found. Achorladey: Bring the STATISTICS let us see how practical it is. . Chantinent: I know some will reprove me saying 'we are all Christians.' Achorladey: just like some will equally say JWS are not CHRISTIANS Chantinent: Think: If you marry, will you appreciate if she didn't come to your church? Will it end in happiness? Would you share her beliefs? Achorladey: The only thing you have to tell us is JWS don't have PROBLEMS in their marriage but reality says some of your members who even live close to the KINGDOM HALLS have been seen to be WIFE BEATERS and domestic violence abound. And we equally have men who married JWS and never for once lay their hands on her or domestically abuse or violate them. Those point above carry little weight. Chantinent: Even greatly, it will be disobedience to our God. Achorladey: because other Christian worship foreign gods. It is only then it can indeed be DISOBEDIENCE Chantinent: We appreciate marrying people who share our beliefs; it brings happiness and we can avoid marry problems as pre-marital sex, unwanted pregnancies, and STDs. Achorladey: Other Christian denomination can say the same about all of the above and don't tell us it is marrying your fellow JWS that prevent premarital sex, unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Chantinent: Next time when you say 'we are all Christians,' do well to be open-minded to ask yourself if your beliefs are the same with ours. Achorladey: So it is JWS BELIEVES that decides who is A CHRISTIAN . Those that died before RUSSELL set up this JWS religion and don't know about RUSSELL'S beliefs are what? Chantinent: Gracias. Achorladey: Thank you too. . Chantinent: Comments are welcome. I'll respond to civil ones. Achorladey: Will be on the look out |

Jehovah witnesses are not Christians. They are two divergent groups. A true Christian is led by the Holy Spirit, Jehovah witnesses are led by their chief slaves (men), neither do they believe in the Holy Spirit. Their teachings tend to demean the person of Jesus christ, but without christ, there's no Christianity, how can they then align with us?, no way. You must be born again!. 1 Like |
