omoharry:Talking 'bout celebrations, JW do commemorate Jesus' death. Can you cite any bible verse urging us to celebrate Birthdays, New Year or, say Christmas? I'm waiting. . JW refuse blood transfusions, and yes, there are other acceptable means for one's life sustainability. Please ask me questions. |

madridsta007:Okay sorry if my choice of statement sounds offensive u see regarding the hour or time we do not know not even Jesus know but the Bible tells us in 1Thessalonians 5:1-6 (u can read it in your private time) that when we hear sudden declaration of peace and security we should know that sudden destruction is upon them u see, Satan gives people of the world false hopes because he know he has a short period of time,a time is coming when leaders of the world will turn up against religion and come together to declare WORLDWIDE PEACE AND SECURITY which might even include nuclear disarmanment,we should be aware at this time that the day of God(JEHOVAH) is around the corner and nearby.we can only wait in fufuilment of this prophecy. Remember the prophecy on Babylon a one-time super power during the time of prophet Isaiah it occurs hundreds of years later after that prophecy and bablylon lies in ruined in outskirts of bagdad mordern day iraq.so no mater how long it takes we shouldn't doubt the BIBLE PROPHECY!!!! |

Maximus69: So u mean non of the black elders seem qualified, even after putting in all their efforts? Haha, my bros, it's not fair to us. Don't delve into this argument. Even African governing elders are not happy about that. No elder of JW will tell u he like the arrangement. It's what it is. Seeing them as not equal. It's like having black pope. Very impossible. There is racism everywhere my dear. White man will still want to rule and dominate especially when it comes to something he created. That is how it is. Politics is everywhere. I just raised this up because of that post which says JW are not racist. Won't add to this anymore. Thank u |

supercase1: Not sure why you are writing this Epistle. It is needless. JW have, in the past made predictions of the world ending. I know of two of those times because I lived in those times. Both turned out false. FALSE. False because, Jesus has said, quite clearly, that it is only the Father that knows when. It is in the Bible. Of course you know this. Hence this Epistle which you’ve written to counter it. It doesn’t take it away though. Seems like predictions appear to have stopped for now. Let us leave it that way. 1 Like |

livebyday:JW obey Bible counsels, and do you know what the Bible says about blood? . * Do you know that there is nowhere in the Bible where we are instructed to celebrate birthdays, neither New Years nor was Jesus even born on Christmas? . These celebration are rooted to paganism and JWs reject anything not inspired of Jehovah God. Please ask me questions. |

Nuliberry:. It takes great faith to obey God. Acts 5:29. Yahweh commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son, Isaac, did HE not know that Abraham's obedience will cost the life of his son? why did Abraham obey God? He had solid faith in the resurrection Hebrew 11:17-19. Luke9:23,24. May Jehovah console the bereaved family as our hope in the resurrection is solid. Isaiah 25:8. Rev21:3-5. John5:28,29. 11:23-26. * God forbids eating of blood.. Blood transfusions amounts to eating of blood Intravenously. .Acts 15:22,28,29. Lev17:13,14. Gen9:3,4. ** My true life experience.... My uncle is not JW,his daughter was diagnosed with a serious medical condition and she was admitted in the hospital for 2 good months. In the course of her treatment, she received massive amounts of blood transfusions and other medications. You know what happened? She died. If she was a JW, haters will claim she refused "life saving blood transfusions." Roughly 3 years ago, a visited a relative whose child was admitted in hospital ,several times. In the course of two weeks, 4 children died in the Children's Ward during that period even though all were received blood transfusions which has been labeled "life saving." What will people say, if their parents were JW? * Life saving blood transfusion is a myth*. (Arthur Ashe is among the numerous proofs.) Bloodless medical treatment is better option & JWs wholeheartedly embrace it https://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2017/10/26/open-heart-surgery-achieves-success-without-blood-transfusions/ ** Love for Jehovah & obedience to HIM is Paramount. Mark12:29, Jesus Christ obedience cost him his life but he regained it. Luke9:23,24, likewise JWs. Our hope in the resurrection is solid. We are not fairweather Christians. God's promises are trustworthy. Rev 21:3-5. Numbers 23:19. |

0ppa: First of all, the terms deserving one is a loaded language. Every group have they own loaded language. To a Jw, it means someone who accept their messages without questioning it. Who accepts everything said hook, line and sinker. That person is deserving. However, we do know that anyone who is good enough, who possess tough questions with solid reasoning , who meets the JWs in their own game of twist and turning, someone who is well grounded in the bible isn't quickly shaken from the faith, will definitely be counted as a conversational stopper, undeserving and likely an opposer. Second and to the most important point I need to make is. Every organisation is interested in its self preservation. A religious organisation is really invested in its self preservation. And there are 2 important ways. 1. Recruitment 2. Money. Each of these are practiced by Watchtower. Current statistics shows that it is increasingly difficult for JWs to recruit outsiders, so their greatest recruitment drives is on children. Children of their members. On finances, a JWs can preach all his life without a single convert. But each month, he will have an envelop filled with cash to turn into the box. Imagine a population of 50 people turning in 500 every month times 12 months. 50*500*12 =300k Some can be more, Others less. You may also have realised that before JWs became a religion, it was a business. One of their primary source of revenue is door to door preaching and offering their publications. Of course, members, the rank and file are always told the whitewash version of it, that they are fulfilling a special role by going door to door... But within the hierarchy, stop door knocking and offering the publications and they have a serious trouble running the religion as they are likely to lose more than 50% of their revenue. Of course, you will say, the publications are without charge, etc. That the "small money" you get cannot cover the cost of publications. The trick is in mass production. Mass produce and the cost comes down. So you have the inner workings up there. It's all about self preservation. To succeed, money and new recruit is paramount. 1 Like |

0ppa: Have you ever read the KJV Bible, which is the first universal Bible for the English speaking people, and compare it with your own JW Bible? Please do and you will know the Truth and it will set you free. Also forget about the whole Bible being written in the Hebrew and Greek languages, every Bible scholars know about that. And moreso all the existing Bible versions were translated from these original texts, including yours. Also, that sacred Word Yahweh or Yehovah or Jehovah means The LORD GOD, so your JW version mentioning the sacred name all through does not change anything, it is the same I AM THAT I AM. GLORY BE TO HIS HOLY NAME. Kindly visit spiritlessons.com site and gets spiritual books for your enlightenment. Remember common religious adherence or sect will not get you to heaven (be it Catholics or Orthodox or Pentecostal or JW), it is your personal relationship with the LORD that will open the gates of HEAVEN to you. |

0ppa: I have had numerous discussions with witnesses and understand the perspective but I still disagree with certain things Now where is it said in the Bible that you should take cocaine but or smoke weed or change your gender but as a well adjusted adult in society one is meant to know what's not right ... You can't live your life based on the doctrines 100% because somethings are just plain common sense I know now where does it say celebrate birthdays or marriage anniversary but I want to celebrate my kids birthday when i have a child in future I want to give my.blood if needed to save someone's life So I don't need to ask you anything because I have sat and discussed with witnesses over a 100 different occasions whenever they come knocking infact I have close friends who are witnesses but I just don't agree with certain things Just as I don't agree that our Lord Jesus came to die for mankind's sins that to me is plain suicide and contradictory to alot in the Bible I believe he came to show us the way to live but the devil cut short his mission by murder using humans to betray and murder him Hence the prayer at the point of his death father forgive them for they know not what they do.. Meaning a grave sin was committed hence the need for prayer to God to forgive mankind , meaning he was unjustly being murdered Anyways I digress Cheers |
