Controversial preacher and coordinator of healing wings,a pentecostal christian fellowship, Dr. Femi Aribisala says PASTORS COLLECTING TITHES TODAY ARE NOTING BUT ROBBERS. In ds interview wit GBENRO ADEOYE. There are so many tnz dat ar biblical, sons of God dnt tithe. Tithe means gvn ten per cent of ur income 2GOD. However,everytn dat sons of God av belngs to God, tithing currently instituted in churches is al 419. Money is nt acceptable as tithe in d scriptures. And yet, our thievin pastors 2day only accept money. Tithes were only paid by landowners in d scriptures, bt our thievin pastors collect tithes frm everybody, tithes were only collectd by Levites,bt thievin pastors, who ar neither Jewish nor Levites,ar nw d ones collectin dem. Tithes were only meant 4d poor, d widows and strangers in d scriptures bt our thieving pastors nw use dem 2build their empires, they use dem to build cathedrals; buy jets; establish schools and banks etc. Dos pastors who collect tithes ar ntin bt thieves, there ar diffrents ways by which u cn steal money frm men. U cn put a gun in their heads and force dem 2hand over their money 2u by puttin dem in psychological bondage. That is wat your private jet-setting pastors av bin doing. JW DNT COLLECT TITHES AND OFFERING. |

Someone reading the Bible What Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Believe? The beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses are no secret, for their literature is readily available in hundreds of languages. Below is a synopsis of some of their main tenets. 1. The Bible The Witnesses believe that “all Scripture is inspired of God.” (2 Timothy 3:16) Jason D. BeDuhn, an associate professor of religious studies, wrote: “[Jehovah’s Witnesses built] their system of belief and practice from the raw material of the Bible without predetermining what was to be found there.” They align their beliefs with the Bible; they do not interpret it to suit themselves. At the same time, they recognize that not everything in the Bible is to be taken literally. The seven days of creation, for example, are symbolic, referring to extended periods of time.—Genesis 1:31; 2:4. 2. The Creator The true God has given himself a personal name—Jehovah (or Yahweh, as used in the Roman Catholic Jerusalem Bible and preferred by some modern-day scholars)—that distinguishes him from false gods. * (Psalm 83:18) The Hebrew form of the divine name appears some 7,000 times in the original text of the Scriptures. Stressing the importance of that name, Jesus said in his model prayer: “Hallowed be thy name.” (Matthew 6:9, King James Version) God rightly demands exclusive devotion. Hence, the Witnesses use no icons or images in their worship.—1 John 5:21. Jesus Christ “The Father is greater than I am.”—John 14:28 3. Jesus Christ He is the Savior, “the Son of God,” and “the firstborn of all creation.” (John 1:34; Colossians 1:15; Acts 5:31) As a created being, he is not part of a Trinity. “The Father is greater than I am,” said Jesus. (John 14:28) Jesus lived in heaven before coming to earth, and after his sacrificial death and resurrection, he returned to heaven. “No one comes to the Father except through [him].”—John 14:6. 4. God’s Kingdom This is an actual heavenly government with a King—Jesus Christ—and 144,000 corulers, who are “bought from the earth.” (Revelation 5:9, 10; 14:1, 3, 4; Daniel 2:44; 7:13, 14) They will rule over the earth, which will be cleansed of all wickedness and will be inhabited by many millions of God-fearing humans.—Proverbs 2:21, 22. 5. The earth Ecclesiastes 1:4 states: “The earth endures for ever.” (The New English Bible) After the destruction of the wicked, the earth will be made into a paradise and populated forever by righteous humans. (Psalm 37:10, 11, 29) Jesus’ words in prayer “thy will be done in earth” will thus be fulfilled.—Matthew 6:10, King James Version. 6. Bible prophecy “God . . . cannot lie.” (Titus 1:2) Hence, what he foretells always comes true, including the Bible prophecies concerning the end of the present world. (Isaiah 55:11; Matthew 24:3-14) Who will survive the coming destruction? “He that does the will of God remains forever,” says 1 John 2:17. 7. Secular authorities “Pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God,” said Jesus. (Mark 12:17) Accordingly, Jehovah’s Witnesses obey the laws of the land when these do not conflict with God’s laws.—Acts 5:29; Romans 13:1-3. Two women discussing the Bible “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”—Matthew 24:14 8. Preaching Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom” will be proclaimed earth wide before the end of the present world. (Matthew 24:14) Jehovah’s Witnesses consider it an honor to share in that lifesaving work. Of course, whether people listen or not is their own choice. The Bible says: “Let anyone that wishes take life’s water free.”—Revelation 22:17. 9. Baptism Jehovah’s Witnesses baptize only those who, on the basis of a thorough study of the Bible, want to serve God as one of his Witnesses. (Hebrews 12:1) These symbolize their personal dedication to God by water immersion.—Matthew 3:13, 16; 28:19. 10. The clergy-laity distinction “All you are brothers,” said Jesus to his followers. (Matthew 23: The early Christians, including the Bible writers, had no clergy class. This Biblical pattern is the one that Jehovah’s Witnesses follow 1 Like |

Have you guys ever thought for a second if the witnesses could be right, if they could be doing what true christians should be doing, if this world hates them because they're right ? 1 Like |

Efere701: Have you guys ever thought for a second if the witnesses could be right, if they could be doing what true christians should be doing, if this world hates them because they're right ?the question you ask could also go for pentecostals. Anglican and catholics. Unless i see a trait that distinguishes jw's from other denominations that's when i'll believe that they're the one and only true religion |

In 2004 there were 7 million Baptists out side of America, 600,000 baptisms and 21,000 new churches. In 2004 Witnesses baptised only 200,000 globally . Interesting information on the significant efforts of Baptist missionaries can be viewed at internationalministries.org and namb.net. |

We wouldn't think otherwise if we knew they were preaching the truth about Christ. But their not, they are preaching the watchtower. Efere701: |
