Jehovah witness do not believe in Hell Fire yet they are the most peaceful people on earth. They don't fight war, they don't do politics neither do they vote, they don't carry guns. You can not find a witness in a worldly seen. While those who believe in HELL FIRE are killing daily with guns, doing all sort of evil to make money. Though they are not perfect! But I score them 95% when it comes to moral behaviour. Hate them, love them they speak truth to religion, they don't deviate from biblical facts, most of their end time message are what we see happening yearly while other churches preaches prosperity with ears twikling, fake miracle.. They teach their children from infancy. Prove me wrong: They are the most united in the world. No racism and they love themselves. They have passed through more pesecution than any other religion on earth. They refused to fight in the 2nd World War despite the pressure, World powers was not able to stop them from progressing. They have educated people more compared to other religion through Awake and Watchtower etc. I'm ready to prove it. I liken them to the Noah of our generation because majority failed to believe them despite all evidence provided in the Bible. 4 Likes |

Christaks:If my parents were to be JW that means I won’t be alive till today. My dad has donated blood on two different occasions when I was standing face to face with death because I was low on blood. A lot of people will die because of religion and when they get to heavens gate, they will be told that they weren’t expected....I blame the white men that brought Christianity to Africa in a different slate. 5 Likes |

[Most JW members are very rude and harsh when sharing ‘their’ gospel author=chatinent post=89992201](c) All rights reserved. . 1. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven. Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth. . Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe. . 2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell. . Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.' . 3. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything. . Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do. . 4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues. . Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind. . 5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die. . Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world? . Have more questions? Visit www.jw.org or simply ask them here constructively.[/quote] |

Jehovah witness is just a controversial religion and they teach their followers to be very controversial human beings. My Dad is a Jehovah's witness and my mum is not. I grew up with my Mum. My Dad refused to attend my wedding because according to him it's against his believe since I did not marry a witness and he is supposed to dissociate himsef from me and disown me because according to him their bible teaches them not to mix with unbelievers��� I no kuku send cos I grew up without him so nothing to miss but at least I honoured him by doing my traditional marriage in His village. Today my Dad depends on me to survive knowing fully well am not a witness. If I was the one not doing well and he is still very rich, he would have disowned me obviously. So as far as am concerned Jehovah Witness people are controversial people who only practice the part of their religion that is convenient for them. Modified: Controversial people everywhere. People who divorce n remarry themselves and drink alcohol like it's going out of fashion. Any religion that forbids u from mixing up with others are extremists as far as am concerned and that is because they are afraid u will hear the truth by going to another church for a function hence you are forbidden. 6 Likes |

IamAsiri: did the Bible not tell it is better to remain silent instead speaking in tongues that no one in your audience understand? no one can interpret. since no one can really speak many tongues with the help of the holy Spirit, is it not clear to you that it has actually ended? speaking in tongues already served it purpose in the days of the apostles. now you can learn any language you need if you are interested in preaching to any particular land |

SamuelAnyawu: Religion is man made dogma, and that's exactly what we (Nigerians/Africans) practice instead of Christianity (laid down examples by Jesus Christ). Untill we learn to separate dogma (man made pattern of worship aimed at exploiting people) from Christianity, we'd keep chasing shadows and springing up various business ventures (churches) in the name of Christianity |

NaijadrivaCars:Dont mind them.I recently watched a film "The child act"Na so the boys parents refused blood transfusion to be carried out on thier son who has leukemia and at the verge of dying .The hospital had to take the parents to court and won the case .This same yeye parents were the first to demand that the boy follows them for thier study. Omo na so the boy say he nor be JW again.That his parent were ready to watch him die but are happy to see him live becos of the blood transfusion. JW are also Hypocrite .One of my uncle who is a dedicated JW almost molested me as a young teenager back in the 90s .if not that I shouted that I will tell my mum he would have continued . There have been series of child molestation going on among them and even charge have been brought before thier elders but they have a way of covering it up . So that it will not come to the open. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Jehovah witnesses, are among the dumbest sets of religious people out there. I really wonder how grown adults follow stupid rules, made my men. The thing dey shock me, any adult who doesn't know by now, that religion as a whole, is a sham, will never have sense again. That's how one JW neighbor of mine, almost fought me, because I said we must donate blood to her, if she needed it, mumu said we should let her die instead. 2 Likes |

Sodiquinone:it's because God was never created and can never be destroyed. His birth and death were just portals of transforming from one form to another. I mean you are made in his image, so even you yourself can't die. Your body is dust, so it will only be alive until you separate from it. And perhaps unlike science you cant fit the ways of God into your brains like that of specimen in test tubes. He said his presence signifies salvation and his death signifies mercy, don't bother understanding, it would have been herculean for people of old to understand the earth is round not flat you know. Just believe as see how God unravels the whole mystery to you with time. Pahaps look around you and see the beauty that emanates from those that serve God in spirit and in truth even if they got little. I don't think that's void of mercy you know. 1 Like |

Kingpele: I love your perspective of this matter, but have you consider certain things? How do I mean? First it was a parable or illustration indeed! But If you check the context of that Luke 16, you will discover the reason Jesus had to give that illustration - the pharisees have long been exalted, and the common people were overlooked spiritually. Hence the need for the table to turn. Yes, that was a time when the common people were to be fed spiritually by Jesus christ himself and his disciples, common people whom the pharisees have neglected for ages. Now back to the subject matter. Do you also know that the scene Jesus illustrated was not a reality but an illustration. Reason being that, as at that time Abraham whose side Luke 16vs22 mentioned that the beggar was carried to was long dead in the grave, Abraham was no longer alive. In fact the scriptures make it clear that no one in the grave or shell or hell can speak, including Abraham (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10). And whenever the Bible uses the word hell, it connotes the same thing as sheol, hades or common grave. I realized all these from personal study of the Bible and the help I received. |
