now i learnt that We should stop blaming them in some things they do, coz they are living according to the teachings of their elders. .



Lalasticlala r231, Freiburger, OAM4J, Fynestboi MissyB3, ijebabe please this info is very important, would appreciate if you move it to front page..







Thanks in anticipation.

What? This is pure bondage
Christianity is about freedom from sin, and living a life of faith.
we are not justified by keeping laws, we are justified by Faith in the finished work of christ.

APOSTATE STOP spreading false rumours. If you really want to know more about Jehovah's witnesses then contact them personally and ask questions dont believe hear-say especially online.

My closest friend is a Jéhovah witness member. . Are you?

45. Accept Jesus as their mediator.

You cannot be saved from sin or eternal perdition without accepting Jesus as your mediator.

" Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."
" 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"

Great list. I was raised and baptised as a Jehovah's Witness. I can tell you what you have listed is correct but you are missing some.

UNBELIEVABLE THINGS WHICH ARE FORBIDDEN FOR JEHOVAH WITNESSES IN 2022

If you belong to the Jehovah's Witness religious organization there are quite a number of things you are not allowed to do, these things are forbidden and members who default can risk being excommunicated which the elders of JW refer to as disfellowshipping or dissociation.
Once disfellowshiped you will have nothing to do with any member of the sect even if they are your friends or family members; if they do they will risk getting the same punishment you got for breaking the rule that mandates them to cut ties with erring members.

World over we are aware that as witnesses you don't receive blood nor donate blood even if it's a matter of life and death. Witnesses would rather die than accept getting transfused.

Also, members are forbidden to marry outsiders, that is those who don't belong to the church/sect reasons are best known to the founders of the group. Isn't this shocking? yes, it is but the bigger shock is that there are over 140 more things you can't do as a member of the group and I will talk about some of them below.

1. Do you know as a member you are not allowed to handle guns even if your job requires you to have one?
2. As a witness you can't join the police force or the Army since your job requires the use of guns to protect yourself
3. Another reason why you can't join the army is that you can wear any uniform that symbolizes war. Across the world, members have been convicted for refusing to join the army.
4. As a Jehovah's witness you are not allowed to join trade unions like ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) in Nigeria and their equivalents in other countries.
5. Do you know their women can't wear pants around the premises of kingdom hall.
6. Do you know men can't wear beards and enter the kingdom hall premises.
7. Also are you aware you can't have best friends who are not Jehovah witnesses.
8. DO YOU KNOW THEY DON'T BELIEVE JESUS IS GOD OR THE SAVIOUR OR EVEN THE MEDIATOR. IF A MEMBER DOES CONTRARY THEY WILL BE EXCOMMUNICATED

I took out time to compile over 140 things Jehovah witnesses are not allowed to do. you can follow the link below to see them.

I may slightly disagree with 1-4 because I've met a few of them that associate with non-JWs. The only challenge is they spend the entire time trying to convince you to agree with their beliefs but they never listen to yours.

9. Really? So who's supposed to fight for the peace of the land they live in?
12. You mean they don't vote? So they just live with whatever decision others make? Wow!
19. But why? Is it wrong?
21. So with this ASUU strike, their members still go to work?
24. How about NYSC? Don't they wear the khaki?
38. They don't participate in school interhouse sports?
39. For real?
41-43. Well, I find this quite weird. Honestly!
51. Na there my wahala dey start with them. You can't come to mine, I can't come to yours. Simple!
59. So an engagement is a fixed deposit? What if I find out something I can't cope with?
61. Nice one.
62. What do you mean "throw rice"? Is that a thing?
76. Just say they don't have parties but they do. I know of a parent that takes the kids out to celebrate during their birthdays. Yes!
95. That's nice.
98. I agree but they wear body-clinging clothes o. I know 4 sisters that do. One of them is even a fashion designer. She makes the clothes they wear. Very tight and 4 of them happen to have nice shapes.
106. Same reason I don't let them attempt saying a prayer for me. Me sef no want.
111. That's nice.
113-123. Cool.
132. Not all o. That same parent that i mentioned in 76, enrolled 2 out of her 3 daughters in Taekwondo classes while the younger one does ballet.



NOBODY SHOULD TAKE MY COMMENTS PERSONAL. I'M JUST LETTING OUT MY THOUGHTS.

they believe Jesus is the only mediator between humans and God..they don't believe "saint" Paul, Peter, Mary etc can mediate or intercede for them.
