sinaj:
Ndi Ama Jehovah lol

They like preaching to others but wont even give preachers from other church listening ear let alone listen to their preaching. Very bad habit if u ask me.

Sinaj, have you ever come to my house to preach to me and I turned you down? Have you ever done that to anyone else? Just be honest with your own self. By the way, JW are waiting for you to show up at their doors.

They not open to correction and believe their doctrine is peerfect.

Do tell, what is your religion? What correction do you imply before making such libelous claim? We base our doctrines on the only constitution that Jehovah blessed us with, his word

Had a JW classmate that would sit down or do something else during prayers as if its not the same God you praying to.

Jesus said that if they are not against you, they are with you. Prayer is a personal conversation between you and God. If you were able to notice your classmate sitting down or doing something else, then you are guilty of what you accuse him of. You were staring at the JW and you claim that you were praying to someone who created you. Think twice, young lady! You were not in the prayer. The Bible says that you cannot serve two masters at the same time. Do not force anyone to pray with you, to stand up or to focus on your prayer, you should say your prayers yourself and let those around you be. It is not by force and your prayer does not make you more favored by God.

Btw a Witness once told me they not Christians, that they are on their own.

I wonder where you heard that. By the look of things, you must have bored that JW with your pre-judgmental attitude and your coerciveness by negating him as a result of his beliefs. There is freedom of religion in the constitution and you seem to be disrespectful of that by berating your JW classmate.

I beg to disagree. One of my closest and most trusted friends is a Jehovah's Witness and even a Pioneer. Serious misconceptions about witnesses and people don't even want to take the time to understand them or even view them with an open and unbiased mind.


Lies.


The JW friend does not see you the way you see him as a friend.

Or he is not a true jw....probably has his mind on leaving

Dear man, rather than taking sides against the complainant and siding your Christian sibling (even as you don't care if they are wrong or right), try as much as possible to see that most attitudes are causes of imperfection. We all make mistakes. The religion is good, most witnesses' outward judgement of it is opposite good.

JW is a cult that has so brainwashed their members.

How can you tell your congregation not to send their children to school.

Can you tell us who prevented you from going to school? Do you know how many JW professionals are out there?

How do u tell them not to take blood transfusion (my uncle died out ofnthos stupidity and now the family discovered the truth. They left the church and the other members stopped talking and associating with them becaise they have become sinners )

Your story is made up to incite hate. It is not real. Have you done your research to know that bloodless surgery is the best medicine out there?


How do u tell them to no worm and make money bit when they work and make that unholy money you tell th to bring it and spend in church.

Who has asked you not to work, bro? Jehovah's witnesses are hard workers everywhere you go. the Bible encourages hard work and not laziness. This is what we preach, so I am wondering. Are you looking for somewhere to stick your blame for not having a job or being educated? And which member of the JW asked you to bring your money and to which church? You are mixing it up, bro. We call our meeting place a Kingdom hall, not a church. Next time write down the church that gave you all these directives on a piece of paper so that you can make your comments constructively.

Read statistics and see the bearish way JW is going globally. Not talking about nigeria. Of coursebrhey will be the last to realise anything.

Now I get it, all that you have written above was made up from statistics? Bro, since your family members have all left, have you made the money yet? We are not a money-making organization. Our goal is to serve Jehovah unitedly as we approach the end of this wicked world. If you feel hate toward us it is appreciated because Jesus said that we will be hated and that was how he was also hated. Dont feel bad, delight in your works because we will all reap from what we sow.

rottennaija:
So, someone removed me from the third to comment. Even when I didn't post a thing?

The rest of the story…

What Jw's believe, but won't initially tell people when they knock on doors and ask if they think the world would be better off without war, suffering, sickness and child abuse:


If you become a JW and then leave them because of their false teachings, you will be literally shunned. You family that remain in the organization will not be permitted to even talk to you!

The Watchtower Society is the only source of truth on earth today and the rest of the mankind will be destroyed if they do not belong or convert to jw.

The cross is a pagan symbol of sex worship, and that all buildings or persons displaying the cross are likewise pagan. Jehovah's Witnesses deny that Jesus died on a cross but a stake. However, recent "new light" in the Watchtower now admits they are not certain about the cross, but will continue to deny it anyway. Further, the watchtower originally claimed it was a cross.

No one goes to heaven but 144,000. While the Bible shows that the great crowd is in heaven, the Watchtower ignores this and teach their own interpretation.

They teach Christ is the mediator for only the 144,000, not the rest of mankind as taught in the Bible.

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob etc. will be resurrected to earth paradise even when the Bible in Hebrew 11:13-16 shows that their reward will be heavenly. They simply ignore this.

Their light gets "brighter and brighter", allowing for many changes and "about faces" on their doctrines. Yesterday's error is today's "truth" and today's truth becomes tomorrow’s errors. Often the "light" bounces back and forth from old to new views and back again! Basically, in the past 30 years, more than 80% of their doctrine has been discarded.

Blood transfusions are rejected and if a Witness receives one willingly, it results in his eternal death. However, the society allows Hemopheliacs to consume blood for medical purposes to save their life.

That all other religion apart from Jehovah’s Witnesses are false religion and most of the times referred to as Babylon the great.

They believe the Watchtower contains Gods truth, directed by Holy Spirit. Without it one cannot understand the Bible.

They claim they were approved and chosen by Christ Jesus in 1919 as the only religion doing God's will. However their teachings at the time and mistakes since then prove this could not be true and had since been discarded.

They let their loved ones die imposing their doctrinal ban on blood transfusions based on the law covenant. However people broke the law covenant when lives were at stake. Such as saving a life of a sheep or human on the sabbath. King David broke the law to save his men. Even Jesus christ showed that when life is threatened, mercy was more important than sacrifice.

They are known as being false prophets for their many false predictions going back over 150 years. They predicted the coming of christ (1875), resurrection (1878), end of gentile times (1881), Armageddon (1914), resurrection if Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (1915), destruction of all other churches apart from them (1918), disappearance of government and republic (1920), establishment of God's kingdom(1925), resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, jacob (1925), heavenly calling ends (1935), end of the world (1975) and the generation alive in 1914 would not die off before the end. Of course, all this prophecies had since been discarded after their failure and never talked about.

Looking at the history of their false prophecies and teaches, Jehovah's Witnesses becomes a hypocrite whenever they call others false prophet and false teachers.

They are series of court cases involving the Watchtower, the parent organization of Jw, and they are paying millions of dollars in compensation for their failures in child abuse cases (Google is your friend). And yet, none of these are featured in the legal section of their official website. (see how much they have paid thus far: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s_Witnesses%27_handling_of_child_sex_abuse)

Watchtower is selling of kingdom halls in many part of the world. (the building of many ones spoken of as evidence of God's blessing and backing of their works). Yet, many Jw's are not aware of it.

They have their own Bible. A Bible carefully designed to agree with their doctrine.

The Watchtower leadership has repeatedly refused to divulge the names and/or academic qualifications of the people within their organization who produced the New World Translation. The reason cited was that the translator where not seeking glory for themselves. But it's really a lame excuse.

The jw Bible is the first real attempt to remove all references to Jesus being worship or being prayed to. It's the first real attempt to obscure the divinity of Jesus Christ. (more about the jw Bible can be found here: http://www.ukapologetics.net/newworld.html)

What is the difference between Holy spirit and holy ghost?
If you have always followed our witnessing you would have heard us reading John 17:3 This means everlasting life,+ their coming to know you,* the only true God,+ and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.

Re: Five Things You Never Knew About Jehovah's Witnesses. by lovingJehovah: 12:05pm On Oct 29, 2017
the Bible says that we must all run a personal race, yet we are unitedly brothers. It is fair to attack a JW individually for his own conduct but grounding an individual's conduct on the beliefs on the JW is obnoxious. I am taking sides with the word of God and that is what it is. People come out saying this and that and they cannot provide biblical evidence to back up their claims. They end up referring you to a JW hate blog. They themselves do not know what they believe in and cannot defend their own doctrines.

1. The right expression is "translation'', not ''re-writing''. Even the bible you read is a translation. If you have compared your translation with The New World Translation, you will not use the word "difference" to describe TNW from other translation. check JW.ORG, there are translations other the New World Trans.

2.If everybody goes to heaven, why did God create the earth in the first place. Granted, the devil deceived our first parents, and a fresh arrangement was made by God to redeem man, that does not mean that God's original plan for man has been thwarted. Scientifically, the earth is the most habitable planet in the universe. Gen 1;28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." New American Standard Bible. Does this sound like they were going to be temporary residence? Here is another food for thought. psalm 37: 29 The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.American Standard Bible. Never will this earth be empty
3. Jesus never celebrated his birthday, none of the disciple ever did, he did not instruct we do it. It has a pagan origin, if u celebrate birthdays u are engaging in an unchristian activity. Candy is sweet, but u dont pick it from the gutter. Certain practices may be cool in themselves, but their origin should be considered befor engagin in em
4 True, there could be member of JW who engage in evil activities, but the focus is on the big picture.
5.Chris is the head of the church, he appointed twelve disciples all men, call that chauvinism? DUNNO

Oruma, Witch na day know witch. So, when you accept that you are a witch and publicly confess, we will listen to your tales of where they are hiding. When you check the newspapers do you see the JW on the front page dong anything witchlike or pharisee-like?
If they don't believe in what they teach, how can they teach it? If yours is not fake, you would believe in it. Judging the JW by blaspheming them is a sin and you do not seem to care about sinning when you about judging them. Is that not what the Pharisees do? Mr. Christian
