Bros e. I hail. Mr Riofidelio sorry for posting ur number. And to d entire Jw community, sorry for attacking ur faith. Removetheturban was one of the most intelligent individual dat i av met on this forum and he made me glued to JW threads even though we disagree most times, we were following each other as friends and I do mention him to comment on topics I think he would find interesting. It's unfortunate he has left d forum sha. Like I told him, I have never turned back any JW member from my house, i give dem audience cos I go out to preach too. Finding out unbitchable who had been stalking me for months is JW changed so many things and it's part of the reason I started attacking his faith. I retract even curse word I used for Jesus said we should bless and curse not. This thread has affected my devotional life and I need some time to get everything back together.You are not doing any favours for God or for man or for any jw. Only for yourself. As for your aim to discredit JW, I can assure you that the same situation that occurred with those who tried to discredit Jesus Christ and his apostles will be your portion. It happens all the time. It's your right to choose |

What a Thread! Thanks @ Salvation101 and Everybody that took the option of Peace. We might not agree with each other based on scriptures, the Scholarly scripts were written by Men and its evident Men will always question Scriptures and have their interpreted understanding. Either way, God is God and thats constant. I followed all through, amazing way to make peace. One love to everybody. Words are powerful,I hail all JW members , Pentecostals, etc, this thread is a beauty on its own. Love you all..... Thanks for teaching Peace at Last despite differences. |

enimooko:Eni to moo koitiikoo! It's obvious you are another Nathaniel in the making in whose heart "there's no deceit" John 1:47. We all have hearts so allow each person to decide within himself/herself what's next to do,Jehovah ONLY sent US to make the presentations,it's not due to your righteousness that you're able to discern and "perceive" what billions can't see. Psalms 115:4-8 Remember the good news is mainly for those who are rightly disposed for everlasting life. Act 13:47,48 Jesus wasn't cracking jokes when He said "my sheep knows my voice"(John 10:27) So don't bother whether men reason with you or they "stylishly" excused themselves,you just do what Jesus commanded(Matthew 10:3-22,24:14,28:19,20) to make sure your hands are clean from the blood of all men. Ezekiel 3:17-21 Compare to Act 20:26 Agape my brother! |

enimooko:It's not easy when there are so many teachers with various doctrines everywhere yet all forming alliance against "the city of refuge". You shouldn't expect those outside the gates see to anything good in running into it. Numbers 35:15 But let's just borrow part of Jesus' last words on the torture stake! (Luke 23:34) |

Riofidelio:Come and see another shocker Bible discussion of shunning in 1 Corinthian's 15 and 2 John is limited to just the following areas; Fornication, Greed, idolatry, Revilers, Practicing Drunkenness, Extortion and One who does not remain in the teaching of the Christ.

Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 12:29pm On Jun 07, 2018 |
Hairyrapunzel: All these could lead to disfellowshiping if you don't "humble yourself enough" when called on for "judicial questioning" . All you have to do when caught is to admit the error and beg the "elders or watchtower" leaders for forgiveness...Not even Jesus or Jehovah they claim to worship. This process makes me wonder if they even believe in Jehovah |

Your leaders use verses out of context and force you guys to believe. You know when you don't believe what they teach you will be considered an apostate. |
Re: Who Are Jehovah’s Witnesses? by Nobody: 3:29pm On Jun 07, 2018 |
OneJ:Jehovah will protect you my brother, because we're all avoiding the "Disfellowshiped" as he's not willing to remain in the organization,not ready to forgo and of all the works Jesus gave His followers to do he's not doing any than to criticize just one single organization "ONLY those who excommunicate him" Well he's progressing as he has found a new family "ATHEISTS" he will be their PASTOR to educate them on all the DISADVANTAGES of JWs organization then he'll follow Atheists to heaven as he wish to go but can't found a religious group, I think Atheism will pay him much more than any religious group but the irony of it is that he doesn't want to belong to any perhaps he'll consider them. Certainly the fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom! Proverbs 9:10

"Gege se gege" what a perfect combination? Atheist and Disfellowshiped! They are worshipping "god or gods" together but with no specific guidance as in counseling agreed upon so that they may be governed by one single "driving force" whereas under COMPULSION, they must be subjected to intelligent physical creatures like them "human governments".Moses's Genesis account said Adam and Eve wanted (1)Their eyes to be opened(Always seeing things their own way) (2)To become like God(Each being supreme on his/her own)(3)Knowing good and bad(Independently setting standards for themselves)Genesis 3:4,5 If we're telling them they must accept Jesus as Lord(To teach US how we'll always agreeing to God's standards) John 8:28,29 Satan often stand by them to form defensive arguments just to say NO to the Messiah(Christ)! certainly the Bible is just a perfect book for all those who desires WISDOM!

Please that's the difference between JWs and none JWs,we're not self righteous,wicked,deceitful or haughty. We're just normal people like you but with a sense of belonging to someone we must always be subjected even when it's not convenient to do so! Matthew 26:41 |

Riofidelio: So now watchtower takes it upon themselves to be God. Interesting They even tell their followers what to expect in the new system. So because Adam and eve did what your organization accuses them of doing to God, your organization's leaders now says that their followers should not think independently of what they have been thought by their leaders. Interesting. It's like your leaders are now God and their followers are now Adam and eve. Very interesting So you will dash your God given brain to 8 men in new York to think for you because they (8 men in new York) told you that Adam and eve thought independently so you should not think for yourselves because they (8 old men) have become God.

Jehovah's witnesses stands out as the ONLY Christian organization worldwide.Obviously that's a presumptuous assertion? Well to solve the mystery let's define Christianity! Christianity isn't about perfection but "the ability to humbly LISTEN attentively when others POINT out the ERROR in our THOUGHTS or ACTIONS,ACCEPT counseling for CORRECTION and readiness to make AMENDMENTS" Jehovah decided to destroy all the Israelites and start all over with ONLY Moses in the wilderness due to their(Israelite's) obstinate stubbornness, HE spoke to Moses concerning HIS thoughts but can you imagine what happened? Moses reminded Jehovah of HIS great name that could be tarnished if HE didn't take them as a people to Canaan and Jehovah reasoned with Moses a mortal man! Numbers 14:11-25 Well we are HIS witnesses( Isaiah 43:10-12) and so we're ever ready to agree with whoever is able to give US convincing evidence that our thoughts or actions are wrong but we won't just join the confused crowds whose ideas varies with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines and theories out of intimidation!

Riofidelio: All non jws are wicked because 8old men in new York constantly feed you with shit. Brainwashed he goat. Come and see Jesus teaching. Jesus commanded that we not judge but love all, particularly those we consider our enemies. Luke 6:27-37 "But I say to YOU who are listening, Continue to love YOUR enemies, to do good to those hating YOU, to bless those cursing YOU, to pray for those who are insulting YOU. To him that strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also; and from him that takes away your outer garment, do not withhold even the undergarment.Give to everyone asking you, and from the one taking your things away do not ask [them] back. Also, just as YOU want men to do to YOU, do the same way to them. And if YOU love those loving YOU, of what credit is it to YOU? For even the sinners love those loving them.And if YOU do good to those doing good to YOU, really of what credit is it to YOU? Even the sinners do the same.Also, if YOU lend [without interest] to those from whom YOU hope to receive, of what credit is it to YOU? Even sinners lend [without interest] to sinners that they may get back as much. To the contrary, continue to love YOUR enemies and to do good and to lend [without interest], not hoping for anything back; and YOUR reward will be great, and YOU will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind toward the unthankful and wicked. Continue becoming merciful, just as YOUR Father is merciful. Moreover, stop judging, and YOU will by no means be judged; and stop condemning, and YOU will by no means be condemned." You choose to follow the magazine teaching of 8 old men in new York rather than follow Jesus. I am happy because people are seeing the weird non biblical teaching of your gb that you guys are forced to follow. Jws call non jws wicked whereas they hide paedophillia making pedophilles elders later on. You choose to disfellowship someone who doesn't agree with gb non biblical doctrines yet you view pedophilles and rapists as friends and even give them privileges. Cultist 1 Like |

Yet some 8 old men who reside in new York and say they are uninspired and fallible and are prone to errors in doctrinal matters and organizational direction think that God will destroy the world and kill 8 billion people so that the 8 million who belong to their business/publishing company called watchtower organization can inherit earth and peoples property.
