Yes, they preach and encourage their members to study the Bible but I know three Jehovahs witness elders who are confirmed Jazzmen. Two don't hide it at all. One does but you'll see him digging his compound today and burying that tomorrow.


This is because:

1. The average witness hardly prays compared to even Jesus and the early church.

Matthew 26 vs 40.
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Couldn't you men keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.

Yes, Jesus was praying for one hour before he returned to his disciples then he went back again to pray for another hour TO RECEIVE STRENGTH


Prayer is the only way a Christian can receive strength. Any Christian organization that doesn't
teach it's members how to stand in the place of prayers for long hours ALONE should be checked.

Paul: Acts 9 vs 8 -12

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

10 In Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!”

“Yes, Lord,” he answered.

11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision, he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”.

Even Paul as a baby Christian knew the importance of persistently banging on heavens door to get results. Remember the story Jesus told of the corrupt Judge and the persistent widow? I can't go into depth as to the power of prayer now because it is a vast topic.

2. If you want to know a real Christian don't ask him to quote scriptures and him about the Holy Spirit.

Jehovah's witnesses have bastardized the person of the Holy Spirit. They call him Gods active force when Jesus Christ clearly referred to the Holy Spirit as a "He" and "Him"

John 16 vs 7-8
. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send HIM to you. 8 When HE comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

Vs 12.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

Do you refer to an active force as He? Do you refer to electricity, lightning, thunder, rain as He?

Even Jehovah's witnesses couldn't alter that part.




3. They know scriptures, yes but ask an average Jehovah's witness what is your opinion about this scripture as revealed to you by the Holy Spirit, they will stare at you like groundnut.

The regurgitate what they have been taught by Charles T. Russell their founder.

As the Bereans showed us by example scriptures taught must be open for questioning and research at all times. They are far worse than Catholics when it comes to their herd mentality but they don't know.


Now, to their good side, I don't think I have seen a religious org. as united as them. All their building works are done by members.

Yes, I used to be a witness so that's why I can point out their loopholes.
Young man, fear God. do no spread fallacies, what jw teaches is the practical wisdom from God not Rusell, we use scriptures to support whatever we say, we don't please man to displease God. we are not a profit making organization, that is why we have lasted for more than a century, no shaking, we keep searching for honest hearted ones and by his Grace, we are in over 240 lands/countries, we have journals in over 900 languages. we have no political representatives in our midst, and concerning prayer, we are not hypocrites, read Mathew 6, from verse 4 to 8. we don't lay hands on people, Jesus made it so easy, work and pray, go to your room, don't seek for magicians pretending to be healers. Fear God, don't spread lies

I don't have anything against your opinion but it would have been better to say you are a JW and are better than the other Christians. You were hiding under the cloak that you are part of the other Christians.

you say Paul and Peter,well we are not in that generation now cos if we are we won't be free at all to converse about Christianity but with all the acceptance of Christianity the witnesses are treated with hate and personally I dont know why hence my first comment
I understand what you are saying, there are degrees of hatred and there is dislike. Hatred comes with an intent to kill or cause harm to that person or group while dislike end at spoken words. The jw are free to spread their ''gospel'' anywhere in the world and are even allowed to control the lives of every of their member. If you have this kind of freedom, you are not hated in this world people just find you extreme.

Many people think that Jehovah's witnesses are members of a cult. It is not true. We are not in a cult. Jesus Christ said that his followers should be no part of the world. True Christians do not follow the wayward practices of people who are inspired by Satan the devil.

Another accusation is that we are strict. No, we are not strict. We are free from the bondages of of tithing, second burial ceremony, unhealthy competition to buy the latest, unnecessary fame/Chieftaincy titles and hypocrisy.

We are encouraged to live a simple lifestyle. We are not in a competition with any body.

TemmyT002:
Taking Nigeria as a case study, if you are not a Jehovah’s Witness, you must have heard from some pastors or some other Christians like you about how the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach the wrong gospel. You must have heard them say that they use the wrong Bible. They must have told you to kick them out of your house or never let them in. They might have even told you that listening to them could lead you to Hell Fire.

My view about them changed when I related with one of them during an external tutorial class. There was a single guy among the rest in a mixed class of Christians and Muslims. This guy was the only Jehovah’s Witness. We all had a lot of fun bullying him. We made jest of his bag and made jest of the fact that he was a Jehovah’s Witness.

Despite all these bullying, he never retaliated. We were still kids back then and our knowledge of the Bible was what we were taught in our different churches. We argued over some verses in the bible and the guy took pains to explain some topics based on what he had been taught. We all shut him down, of course.

Years later, I had the opportunity to visit one of their Kingdom Halls. I had read a lot of their FREE publications and I wanted to see what they did there. I was wowed. I have been to many other churches but this Kingdom Hall was different.

The surprising part was that after the service, I met this guy again and he was so happy to see me. I was surprised. I thought he would make jest of me and ask why I was there. Instead, he and the other people there showed me love.

How are the Jehovah’s Witnesses better Christians than the rest of us?

1. THEY FACE MORE PERSECUTIONS

The Bible says “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”- Matthew 5:10

John 15:18- “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

2 Timothy 3:12 – “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.”

You will agree with me that Christians in Nigeria also get persecuted but the persecutions occur mostly in the Northern part of Nigeria. Jehovah’s Witnesses, however, are many all over the world and they are persecuted more than all other Christians of different denominations. The recent one occurred in Russia.

The Southwestern part of Nigeria, which is full of the Yorubas is considered to be full of people who are tolerant and accept you into their society no matter your status or religion. However, Jehovah’s Witnesses still get persecuted there most of the time.

I watched an American movie about the Second World War and at the end of the movie, some statistics were listed based on the number of people who were killed by Hitler’s Soldiers. Apart from the Jews, the homosexuals, and blacks, I was surprised to see Jehovah’s Witnesses listed among them too.

2. DONATIONS ARE VOLUNTARY

Unlike in other Christian churches where people are forced or even threatened to make donations, donations in Kingdom Halls of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are quite voluntary. When you walk into one of their Halls, you will see a box right at the entrance calling you to make voluntary donations.

In other churches, publications are not free. Pastors and General Overseers write a lot of books. Some churches even produce a lot of books for the benefit of their congregations but these books are not free. This is different with Jehovah’s Witnesses.

In each Kingdom Hall, at least the ones I have been to, there is a special place where lots of books and publications are arranged. You can pick any book depending on the language you want for free.

You might have seen them giving out books on the streets and they would never ask you to buy them. They would instead ask you to make voluntary donations. Even if you don’t have money, you can go ahead and pick. They are more interested in making sure you gain the knowledge of God’s word.

3. MEMBERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Do you know a Jehovah’s Witness who doesn’t ‘preach’ on social media? When Jesus was leaving the earth, he asked his disciples to go all over the world and preach the gospel.

Thankfully, we are in the jet age where you can share information that can reach people all over the world. Unfortunately, today’s Christians rarely make use of this opportunity to preach the gospel.

There are lots of Christians who have huge followers on different social media platforms but unless they are pastors, you would rarely see them post anything related to the gospel on their accounts. Instead of sermons you will see them posting their beautiful pictures.

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ members post different topics on Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on. Whatever they learn in their Kingdom Halls or conventions, they make sure they share them online.

Other Christians prefer to share nonsensical topics and topics that won’t touch your life positively in anyway. They are supposed to share the sermons they learn from their different churches every Sunday but they would rather share posts concerning Big Brother Nigeria or other nonsense.

4. EVANGELISM

This is one of the things they are known for. Apart from the social media, radio and other modes of evangelism, the Jehovah’s Witnesses preach the gospel by walking from house to house.

Despite the fact that a lot of people reject them, they still keep on. Everything in their minds is looking for one or two people whose lives they can touch positively. You see them walking in the sun, with their umbrellas and bags, with no shame. They prefer to follow God’s instructions and they do this at least twice in a week, walking long distances.

5. TESTIMONIES

Their testimonies are different from those of other Christians. While other Christians give testimonies about what God has done in their lives, most of the testimonies usually involve material things of the world. This is good but there is always something missing.

Other Christians testify about the new cars they just purchased, the new child they just had, the new house they just built and so on. The testimonies of Jehovah’s Witnesses involve turning over a new leaf, giving their lives to Jesus and becoming a model example.

They have different stories on testimonies like these. When you read about people changing and turning over a new leaf, you will be encouraged and you will want to have the same experience. In one of their publications, I read about a Japanese Kamikaze soldier who fought in World War Two and then became a Jehovah’s Witness and began to preach the gospel. I was wowed.

6. THEY ARE ORDERLY AND CALM

Have you ever walked into a Kingdom Hall? As you approach the place, you would believe they are not holding any program because you won’t hear anything. It is only when you enter into the Hall that you will realize that there is a program going on after all.

Other churches love the use of loud speakers. You could be far away and you would hear the different speakers from different churches booming and screaming. Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Kingdom Halls do not pollute the air with noises.

During their programs, they never compete for Bible reading. We all know this. In Pentecostal churches, when the pastor calls a Bible verse, you see fifty people trying to read the same verse at the same time. You would think the fastest reader would be paid for it.

The ‘winner’ is usually the fastest reader. This usually causes fracas among the readers after church services and you may sometimes see two ‘readers’ keeping malice against each other.

The reverse is the case in Kingdom Halls. When a Bible verse is called or when a question is asked, people would raise their hands in order to respond. Everything is calm and quiet. You feel peace in your heart. You forget your problems.

7. SHOW OF LOVE

Many churches in Nigeria love to welcome newcomers. Some churches serve them foods and drinks and collect their phone numbers. The choir members sing a song of welcome and then some top leaders of different groups walk over to the newcomers to shake their hands and welcome. That’s all.

At the end of the program, everyone leaves and forget the newcomer. This occurs in most churches. When a newcomer’s phone number is gotten, all the church want to do is to make sure the newcomer becomes a member and comes always.

In Kingdom Halls, this is different. After the service, almost everyone walks over to you to shake your hand and welcome you with beautiful smiles. Then they politely ask if you would want free Bible study.

There are so many other ways by which the Jehovah’s Witnesses are better Christians than the rest of us and we need to emulate these qualities. There is a very big difference if we are being sincere with ourselves.

Showing love to one another is the key to peaceful nation. Despite the number of churches in Nigeria, in different states and in different streets, corruption is still rampant. Ethnic bigotry and tribalism is till rampant. Something is wrong somewhere and it is all in our hands to change things.

Emulating the qualities of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is the key.

Their prophecies did fail but they don't tell you it was God's voice. They put things together from informations from the Bible and history.

It is a human effort so it can't be perfect and besides, your church's prophecies do fail everyday too.

Did your pastor not tell you that this year is your year?

How far?


How many prophet and pastors prophecized that Goodluck and Atiku will win?

How far?

We hate Jehovah witness simply because they're better than us.

Hardly do you see them in crime story.

I have never seen them COZA any member.

Hardly do you see them with teenage pregnancy.

Their is no lukewarm member among them like the rest of other churches. You're either in or out.

They're one and Bible said be one.



No other church supports members financially without extorting first like the Jehovah witness.


My girlfriend is a JW, imagine getting to the hall and the elders told her that she has not found a husband simply because i'm a 'Babylon' that she only has to marry a fellow JW..... Who does that



Most of the problems they face in their family is from a fellow JW... Imagine a fellow member trying to push their family out of Job with all her might... Yet you come here and preach they are for peace... C'mon...

For over 10yrs I associated with jw but the more I study with them the more I see how decayed their teachings are.

The foundation is the most controversial and they base the core of their faith in 1914, a date that have proven to be in error with the passing of time.

Right now I nolonger adhere to any religion because I see all of them as the same, with one thing in common, which is: to control others!

Brother, are you really a Christian. Do u have the Spirit of God guiding you? If ur answers is Yes, I wonder why u did not have a rethink befor posting this.

Do you know that your post can bring a division in the household of Christ? Just you Caption is capable of bringing hatred against the JW. How can u imply that the JW are better Christians than the rest of all the Christians. You would have make more sense if u had captioned it "How we are taught to live in JW that I would like fellow Christians to Emulate.".

I have seen wonderful JW members, very good and Christlike. I have also seen those not having any resemblance of Christ in them. So how do u balance this? If JW is the better Christians, why do we still have the bad ones among u?

Do you remember that Apostle Paul frowned at a post like this back in his apostolic days?
Let me show you.
1 Corinthians 3:4
For while one says, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are you not carnal?
I believe you must have come across this portion in the Bible.

Now move down to Chapter 4:6 ...it says;
Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit,
so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written.
Then you will not take pride in one man over another.


So, your post shows that u speak like a mere canal being without the spirit of Christ.
Also, u are priding your church over other churches. The Body of Christ is one and no part is greater than the other.

Don't bring up anything that will indirectly help the satanic ministry. The unbelievers will be laughing at us when they watch us fight over this post. The post may help the ministry of Satan to disintegrate the church of Christ, and I say, God forbid.


Thanks bro.
I am not a Jehovah's Witness
And if Christians fight all over this, it just shows again how terrible Christianity has become.
By your comment, it seems you are one of those who choose to keep the truth quiet or hidden because you are afraid or negative reactions.

when you enter a vehicle a preacher is there,your street in the morning they sometimes wake you up early morning,they go around preaching and distributing gospel tracts all these I mentioned other churches including mine does that but the witnesses carry their bags come to you and preach yet they are called all sort of names like you said here that they are extremists can you please explain that dear

I need opinions..pls fellow christians help a brother not to loose faith..
This question has being on my mind for a while now and I will appreciate your opinion

As christians, we believe that God knows everything even before it is concieved...God we believe knows the end from the beginning.

so I want to ask...If you agree with me that God knows everything, does it means that He knew that Adam and Eve would fail Him??..if yes, then why create them just to purnish them?..if He is truly a loving God, then why create men just to purnish them since He knew they will fail Him??

this question is really perturbing me and it's affecting my faith...
note: my dad is a pastor...I've asked this question several times but none has given me a satisfactory answer

Well, my dear, I truly knw that your question was not really to build ur spiritual faith. You were asking just to twist the Bible a little.
Now let me clear you here.
God never created Adam and Eve to turn around to punish them. It is just like saying that God created Judas to betray Jesus and still God turned around to punish him.

The fact is that There is Satan in this world. So long as there is the existence of Satan here, bad things are bound to happen. Now, do God destine any man in particular to accomplish the bad thing? No...He will never do that. God created everyone with living conscience. He gives every man total freedom to chose between bn good or bn bad.

So God created Adam and Eve to enjoy and live happily in the Garden, they made their choice and god God offended. Just like in the case of Judas. The duty of betraying Christ was not handed over to Judas. It was available for anyone that will allow himself to be used by Satan. God knows that if He sends His son, Satan will like to kill him so that the mission will not yield fruit not knowing that killing Him will make it yield fruit faster. So Judas availed himself for that job. It could have bn anyone else.

Let me give u a practical example. Let's assume u are a student. You have a good looking smartphone. U know that if you leave ur phone unattended to in an open class, it will be stolen by someone. You want to know some of those students stealing ppl's stuff. Probably, u want to shame them to deter others.
Now, u drop ur phone in that empty class. God to somewhere and hide. U will be watching ppl coming and leaving the class. Some will come, see the phone and go their way. Someone who will allow himself to be used by Satan will take the phone, switch it off and convert it to his. If u catch this person and punish him/her, will I be right to say that you destined that person to steal ur phone?
You did not, but among many, he/she allowed him/herself to be used by Satan.

Saying that your organization is better than other
Christians is provocative and speak of who you are on the inside.

When did jw start?
the Methodist, the Roman Catholic etc have been preaching, persecuted, beheaded even up till now before your organization started.

All religion have people who are members but don't follow every law

This is why people avoid you guys, always trying to belittle others religion. From my experience people who behave like this usually have low self-esteem and are depressed, I pray you find the help you need.

I love reading awake and watchtower for the historical facts, biology experiment etc

Please if there are any mistakes in my write up let me know an I will correct it, thanks.

It's only people who feel inferior that always try to bring down others so they can feel good about themselves and when they do so and they are called out for their inhumane acts, they cry persecution and then gets to feel as martyrs.

I have serious reservations about their religion. Their non acceptance of the Holy Spirit is a major problem.

Don't be deceived by other apperiances and conduct. Other religions also have an appearance of godliness.

their biggest problem is hypocrisy. outwardly jws behave like saints, but in secret, they do the opposite of what they preach.
they also have a knack for berating other religions. they believe they are the only ones who will be saved, and refer to other religions as Babylon the great- the world empire of false religion.

What do you mean Mr man...is pastor Wilson a Jehova witness?...Is pastor Bonniface a Jehovah witness ? Truth be told...I am not a Jehovah witness member but I can boldly say Jehovah witness practise the realest version of Christianity that is free of hypocrisy...

You are not wrong.jws are hated for no reasons. granted,they have their flaws but they are trying to improve.

When you deny life saving medical treatment from another person, when you are punished for that, it's not persecution or hatred, but appropriate punishment and protest for an inhumane act towards another.

When you look down on others as a subhuman underclass that does not deserve anything good except they belong to your brand of religion and gets punished for it, it's not persecution but appropriate punishment for inhumane act of extremism.

Young man, fear God. do no spread fallacies, what jw teaches is the practical wisdom from God not Rusell, we use scriptures to support whatever we say, we don't please man to displease God. we are not a profit making organization, that is why we have lasted for more than a century, no shaking, we keep searching for honest hearted ones and by his Grace, we are in over 240 lands/countries, we have journals in over 900 languages. we have no political representatives in our midst, and concerning prayer, we are not hypocrites, read Mathew 6, from verse 4 to 8. we don't lay hands on people, Jesus made it so easy, work and pray, go to your room, don't seek for magicians pretending to be healers. Fear God, don't spread lies

Lol, when you are to counter my opinions with strong points then come back.

You just proved my point about Jehovahs witness not having a mind of their own. Not a single strong point in your post.

Good works alone, no matter how good, can save, except faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

who told you we don't have faith in Jesus Christ.

We mark the Memorial every year on Nisan 14 after sundown. That is how much we love and respect Jesus for the ransom sacrifice.
