rottennaija: In fact, you've really captured it. Though it is not only Jehovah witness alone, most modern day christians never care to read the bible or prefer to go with their spiritual leaders rather than abiding with the truth of the scripture. On marriage, JW marry even unbelievers. I have seen a lot of them doing it, especially their ladies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jehovah Witnesses do not accept other Christians as Christians. Other Christians are merely part of Christendom. Consequently, marriage is forbidden with others and members may be shunned or even excommunicated for being unequally yoked with unbelievers |

Kemistri4:No, you get your facts right. In Christendom we believe that God is one, and the father, son and spirit are all God. That's why we pray in Jesus' name, that's why we invite the Holy Spirit in services and that's why we trust in the Father. 2 Likes |

"...Next time when you say 'we are all Christians,' do well to be open-minded to ask yourself if your beliefs are the same with ours" Any belief outside the precise teachings and principles of Jesus Christ and The Bible has no basis in Christianity, and anyone who practices beliefs at variance with what Christ taught has no business calling himself a Christian! To this end, there can never be 2 Christians having different beliefs! This is the beginning of self deception and apostasy! You are either a Christian or you are not... Adding and subtracting from the word of God to suit your orthodox or unorthodox way of life is tantamount to damnation. So, what exactly are you 'Christians' hiding under man-made denominations actually practicing??! I can bet even Christ and the late Apostles must be quite confused wherever they are watching!!!... Personally, I am quite amused!!! "For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?" (1 Corinthians 3:4-5) 3 Likes 1 Share |

KingTom: They don't. A few (mostly in Nigeria) contravene this and they are dealt with by shunning. Shunning means that nobody interacts with you at the Kingdom Hall and you seat at the back in a separate corner. I have seen it live at a Kingdom Hall. Refusal of the spouse to become a JW might even result in outright excommunication. Note that those who became JW after they married are exempted 1 Like |

TheManOfTheYear: Well, there are quite a number of Christians who don't believe in the Trinity, not just Jehovah's witnesses. These Christians refuse to accept the absurdity of the Trinity. They recognize that Jesus Christ is a different entity from God which is why he could lament on the cross "Eloi Eloi, Lama Sabach thani". God won't lament and call on another entity. 8 Likes |

rottennaija: Like serious? If you can say this about your fellow Christian, wonder what you wld say about other religion. I want to ask you a question and pls answer yourself with all sincerity. If you were born into a Jehovah witness family, would you not be a JW now? If you answer this question as sincere as I think, then you should stop criticizing any religion. They were all forced on us mostly by our parents. Religion has caused so much division in this world. And sincerely nobody knows which one is right or wrong, we just dey folo wet in we meet our parents doing. 3 Likes |

DropsMic: 1. Why do women talk in church? Ans: They are human beings with mouths, and their creator did not prohibit them from doing so. 2. Why do Africans Get Up Everyday Bowing To Jesus And Mohammed? Ans: Africans are not the only people 'bowing' to religious personalities. This happens everywhere in the world. 3. Why is it that the two most popular religious group also happen to be the two most violent in history? Ans: Human Beings already have a violent nature akin to animals. Religion merely amplifies it!!! 4. Why do Africans always act inferior in all aspects of life? Ans: Not all Africans, and certainly not only Africans. Inferiority complex is a human trait which abounds across races, ethnicity, nations, etc. 5. Can Africa stand on its own ground and live without foreign gods, goods and aids?? Ans: Africa was already standing and doing fairly well without foreign whatever. Africa and Africans still have all it takes to stand alone in prosperity today. They only have to purge themselves (violently if possible) of corruption and greed. 6. Will NEPA bring the light today?

Op! Jesus was more reasonable than what you posted yet he was impaled. You are logical in your writeup and gave good reasons why JW don't marry from other set and some people here refused to think deep about those scriptures you quoted. If you are talking about education, I don't think any religion can equate with JW. Either you like it or not...all they have been preaching is here..over 30years ago the witnesses taught me what the end of the world will be like...which is silent in other churches, they don't preach breakthrough, No tight, they are not among those that put the world in this mess we are in today, they are not politicians that embezzled your country money, they are contented and do not participate in war. They follow only what they found good in the bible. For those pointing fingers on leadership of JW, Can you point one JW that is a Governor, President, LGA Chairman, Councillor, Minister, Senator or rep? If you cant ....then ask yourself why has these people sacrificed all their earthly gains for Christ sake. Your Pains is that they are speaking the truth and they are not part of the world yet they are in the World. For those saying JW do commits sin with other religion or you saw them doing juju. Please tell me more about imperfection! Remember we all are Sinners and we only try to practice righteousness. JW are the only religion that disfellowship members publicly, reprove or suspend offenders. If the late Micheal Jackson was to be a member of your church your current religion will condone his excesses... Yet JW Disfellowship him after releasing THRILLER. If I really want to worship God whole heartedly I will Be a JW. 10 Likes 3 Shares |
