When last did you see Jehovah witnesses? See why they are no longer knocking on your door


Jehovah witness are a Christian organization that encourage strict adherence to Bible principles.

They pride themselves in being the only Bible oriented Christan group on Earth.

They hold fast to the belief, that this present world is being controlled by Satan and it will be ended by Jehovah, who will then established a new paradise Earth that will be ruled by Jesus.

They believe that only righteous individuals will stay in this new Earth, with all unrighteous people being destroyed in the war of Armageddon.

Jehovah's witnesses take the preaching work very serious - even the elderly ones and little kids participate in it.

They are always well dressed, with a bag full of books and an umbrella to protect themselves from the rain and sun when preaching.

You see them with their carts in the market and public places, preaching to passerby's.

They visit people in their homes to teach the Bible. They will always look for a way to locate you no matter how unaccessible your house is.

Because of being so use to Jehovah's witnesses visit even in inaccessible places, there were jokes on social media that covid19 palliative should be given to Jehovah witnesses to share to poor Nigerians during the lockdown because they know every Nigerian.

People are so use to seeing Jehovah witnesses that you could easily identify them just with the way they dress.

But recently, we are no longer getting those daily visits from Jehovah witnesses.

It all started when the federal government introduced restrictions on religious gathering due to covid19.

In keeping with FG orders, Jehovah's witnesses took most of their activities online.

Their weekly meetings are now conducted online, mostly through video calls using the Zoom video channel.

Visiting people in their homes was also suspended and it was temporarily replace with preaching on WhatsApp and other online platform.

You may no longer be receiving regular visits from Jehovah witnesses due to covid19 but I am very sure, they will be back knocking on your door the moment they considering it safe to do so.

on the contrary, Jehovah's witnesses don't force their believe on anyone on force them to change their religion.
God only accept worship that comes from the heart and not the one under compulsion

What you might like to know is that Jehovah Witnesses share God view of life.

As you know, to God life is sacred. And each Jehovah Witness is taught to respect the value of life.

So they do all in their power to prevent becoming blood guilty.

And they will obey all government restrictions regarding lockdowns, social distancing etc.

To prevent becoming blood guilty of infecting our neighbours Covid-19 we have stopped preaching publicly and from house to house. As to do otherwise would show a lack of love to God and neighbour

Preaching is only acceptable at present if they protect their neighbours and their own lives from Covid-19. So preaching and meetings are held virtually for now until Covid-19 is deemed no longer a health risk.

Yes they will be back knocking on your door in the future. But out of love for you they will refrain for now.

All the best
George
