Bros, OBEY Jesus Christ @ Matthew 28:20, John 15:15 and Galatians 4:8-11.
STOP DECEIVING yourself.
Oga I believe in the scriptures and the Messiah but this one thieves wrote to you as the Messiah you usually see with long hairs, blue eyes and a foreign name the true one never called himself is the wrong one. Everything is in twos even the Sovereign one and the Messiah. You really need to be careful to know who you truly call. In the same Bible, they wrote one to you as the morning star, they also wrote bright and morning star. If you are wise, you will know that these are 2 different ppl. One is already decieving ppl in the world that he is real and almost everyone call him while the true one has not revealed himself to anyone yet. You guys will understand when the time comes.

Only few know the truth. What happened 2000 plus years ago is a mystery many still have not known. Daniel talked about the sealed book to be revealed at end time. He was also told about the thieves who will try to establish the covenant. That era of Daniel was the era of truth. The thieves later established the covenant which led to Apostacy or the falling away from the truth the one they wrote to you as Paul talked about. This was how the lies, confusion and error in all your religion started and how they gave yoú the false Messiah. Soon they will push him up to the skies for you all to see to complete the lies. All these was written in the book of Daniel but you all and your pastors will never understand. Am not begging anyone to believe me or begging for likes but to warn you guys. Whether you believe or not it will soon be glaring.
The one revealing himself to you all in your churches with blue eyes, long hair and pale skin is the false light or wrong Messiah if that is what you see. The Messiah was a Nazarite. Even his disciples were called Nazarenes Acts 24:5 not Christians. Nazarites have wooly or Afro hair like you and me or dreads like Samson- which can only be blacks according to nature. The heavens declare the glory of God( He has put an example of everything in nature for you all to see). Also according to nature, only blacks can produce white children. Two whites can't produce blacks. It tells you black is dorminant or original. Some think we are projecting a black Messiah, NO. Black is the begining and Messiah was the first as in Adam. You can take this to your bank.

Learn to read and understand before commenting.

Like Paul says in Roman 14:6 anyone can regard any day unto God as special be it your birthday or not but what matters is that in all, all Glory should be given only to God.
Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

The same Paul who admonished you to shun Christmas seasons/birthdays , "special days and seasons" of pagans. Galatians 4:8-11.

Whenever you prove your hypocrisy, Paul is not a hypocrite.
Neither would he pen by inspiration , according to your claim, two conflicting positions (@ Romans 14:6 & Galatians 4:8-11) on the same matter.
Do not esteem pagan practices as holy or special.

If this refers to birthday, then why do the Israelites mourn knowing that the Egyptians that they lived with also mourn the dead?

Leviticus 18:3, Bros, back up your claim.
Can you name the Israelites who copied annual birthdays celebrations from the Egyptians?

Bros, is mourning a sin ?
@ John 11:35, Jesus mourned.
Did he celebrate Christmas?
@ Matthew 28:20, is Jesus against Christmas?

At least you know you and your religious leaders have numerous coloured envelopes where various atrocities within your organization are locked up and can be opened when the need arise.

Clown DECEIVING himself

And you are the educated literate and the mumu detector who loves the GIBBERISH filtered from wisdom of the world that is foolishness prepared as spiritual food by your religious leaders.

Here are your religious leaders given you information you can trust. At least you know they have asked you trust them.

From the pictures below I am wondering how many coloured envelopes must have suffered in the hands of those placed in charge of all these investigation, judicial decision and specialised court judgement adopted in your organization

Shocking as it is, even some who have been prominent in Jehovah’s organization have succumbed to immoral practices, including homosexuality, wife swapping, and child molesting. It is to be noted, also, that during the past year, 36,638 individuals had to be disfellowshipped from the Christian congregation, the greater number of them for practicing immorality. Jehovah’s organization must be kept clean

Pay heed to the word PROMINENT aka your oga's at the top too no carry last inside the matter.

As you do the above remind your brother/friend DappaD about this....

Please be civilized and stop using profanity because you’re intent on proving a dead point

Emphasis on profanity which is more like blasphemy. Remind him his religious leaders are taking the lead in terms of PROFANITY as captured in the screenshot attached.

Your problem is misinformation but let's leave the matter at that because you're also trying to pass some information but obviously you're totally confused.
You first said:
One is already decieving ppl in the world that he is real and almost everyone call him while the true one has not revealed himself to anyone yet. You guys will understand when the time comes.
Then later you typed the highlighted above.

So is it that the Messiah has not revealed himself to anyone or only few know the truth?

And perhaps you don't know i'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses and from your write-up it's obvious you know nothing about the scriptures but what some misinformed religionsts infused in your brains. Can you imagine that you typed so much without a single reference to the scriptures?

The word Nazarene doesn't implies Nazarite but inhabitants of Nazareth just as an Igbo man brought up in Lagos is a Lagosian, that's how Jesus a Bethlehemite was popularly known as a "Nazarene" {Matthew 2:23} because Joseph's and Mary's city of origin was Bethlehem but lived in Nazareth and that's where they born and brought up all their children.
Jesus' birth in Bethlehem happened due to the order issued by Caesar Augustus when Mary's pregnancy was fully matured! Luke 2:1-3

BIRTHDAYS...
Well, to begin with, I must say two things:
1: There is NO direct bible passage or verse that nullifies or directly kick against an individual celebrating his or her birthday under a YES or NO commandment!
2: there is equally NO bible passage or text that also, in cognisance to the above, encourages birthday celebrations directly SD pertaining to individual and public celebrations
Nevertheless, the exploratory teachings of Jesus Christ particularly in the era if Herod,s reign, helped us to point out the picture of birthdays. Herod's daughter had a birthday present that requested for head of John the Baptist. Having been promised of her father, Herod the king.
the above scene pointed out the deadly acts of a pointless birthday celebration and its attendant evil carried along.
TO CARP OUT THE BIBLICAL APPROACH TO THIS, WE CAN SAY THAT A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED WITH A WRONG MOTIVE AND WRONG DISPLAY IS SIMPLY A SIN AGAINST GOD.
BUT IS IT A SIN TO RIGHTLY CELEBRATE THIS BIRTHDAY UNDER CLEAN GROUNDS OF APPRECIATION TO GOD FOR ADDING TO YOUR AGE? NO!
ABSOLUTELY YOU CANNOT GO TO HELL FOR celebrating YOUR AGE AND GRATITUDE TO GOD ON CLEAN GROUNDS!
BUT THE POINT IS THIS: PROPER EVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANT IMAGES OF CHRIST'S LIFE NEVER INCLUDED ANY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. WHY? NOT BECAUSE IT IS A SIN AGAINST GOD, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AND NEVER A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF ANY MISSION MINDED PERSONALITY. HE SAW IT AS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!
INSTEAD, HE WAS A LOT MORE FOCUSED ON THE REDEMPTION AND THE DAY OF SALVATION WHICH IS HIS DEATH! THIS IS WHY EASTER IS OF HIGH PRIORITY IN DEEP SENSE THAN CHRISTMAS THAT WE ALL CELEBRATE TODAY.
for those that are stressing this point to doctrine doctrine, pagan or whatever, you have simply not understand Jesus Christ's lifestyle and the new testament dispensation. Jesus Christ did not roll down list of commandments more than two: both of which dealt with practical christian living in LOVING GOD AND LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF. He was more of doing than listing! and ALL THE DOINGS CARRIES EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR US TO WATCH AND FOLLOW SUIT; WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPING US THROUGH. THAT'S CHRISTIANITY

FOLLOWING THE DOINGS OF THIS GREAT MAN WHEN HE WAS ON EARTH, HE WAS NEVER DIRECTLY AGAINST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS. RATHER, HE NEGLECTED AND TOOK IT AS LESS IMPORTANT!
IN FACT, THE MORE A YEAR ADD TO HIS YEAR, THE MORE HE WAS FOCUSED ON THE MISSION OF REDEMPTION!
WHAT SHOULD THEN, THE CHRISTIANS LEARN FROM THIS AS REGARDS TO BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS?
BIRTHDAYS CELEBRATIONS ARE NOT WRONG OR TOTALLY A SIN AGAINST GOD, BUT THEY ARE IRRELEVANT!
THE CHRISTIAN JOURNEY IS MORE OF HEAVEN AND CHRIST LIKE LIFE WITH A ZERO HEART FOR WORLDLY MERRIMENT;
HENCE, BRODA, IF YOU WISH TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY EVERY YEAR, YOU ARE NOT WRONG BUT YOU TAKE THE IRRELEVANT OF YOUR MASTER FOR RELEVANCE. HENCE FOCUS MIGHT NOT BE TOTALLY ACHIEVED.
MOREOVER, FROM CHRIST'S LIFE AND PRIORITIES IN LIFE, HE PRACTICALLY SHOWED THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY THAT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED IN A MAN'S LIFE IS THE DAY OF HIS!HER SALVATION AND REDEMPTION. APPLYING THIS TO THE PRACTICAL CHRISTIAN LIFE, THE GREATEST DAY THAT SHOULD EVER BE REMEMBERED AND GIVEN IMPORTANCE IS THE DAY WE TOTALLY GIVE OUR LIVES TO CHRIST AND IT MARKS THE DAY OF SALVATUON BEING MADE MANIFEST IN OUR LIVES.
IT IS THE DAY WE ARE BORN AGAIN, OUR BIRTH DAY IN CHRIST.
FINALLY, BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED WRONGLY LIKE THAT OF HEROD'S DAUGHTER IS APPARENTLY A SIN. YOU CANT GATHER CLUBBING, ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, DIRTY MUSIC AND ANY OTHER ACTIVITY THAT DOES NOT GLORIFY GOD AND COME OUT BEING A GOOD CHRISTIAN. NO

Think of these things, and Help yourself to practically follow Christ and his footsteps on earth
CHRISTIANITY IS MORE OF PRACTICAL LIFE IN CHRIST. THE HOLY SPIRIT HELPING ALONG.

Jws do not celebrate birthday because we honestly believe that believe that birthdays have pagan origins and are not Biblical. As a true Christains we don't want to have anything to do with pagan ideas.(2 Corinthians 6:17)

You're looking for the Bible to pointblank you not to celebrate birthdays. True Christains do not need cos' we have thousands of pagan celebration

The following are secular writing attesting to the pagan origin
https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/01/24/good-question-how-did-birthday-traditions-start/
https://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details3.asp?ID=18801

In the old times, only the birthday of the pagan gods were celebrated
All the false gods had their own birthday.
The sun god or Tammuz/Dumuzi (25. December),
the easter goddess of fertility (ostara) all have their birthday.
Later on, The defied pagan rulers birthday were also celebrated (You can find some account in the Bible, it's there for true Christains to understand)

In our present day, people have adopted it and celebrating too.
Usually I do get 'There's no sin in celebrating the life God gave you extera'
I want you to know that Jehovah’s Witnesses consider God’s view on everything.
That people tranformed it into a acceptable form of a personal birthday celebration does not make it right(The answer you couldn't give DappaD)
There's a saying that “you can “put lipstick on a pig.”

"A pagan custom is still a pagan custom. Dress it up? Changes nothing! It’s still pagan"

I won't throw you Bible verses and nobody should spoon-feed you. Do your research and answer this 1 question
@What does blowing out the candles and making a wish mean in birthday celebration?


"[/b]....A pagan custom is still a pagan custom..."[b]

I would like you to define birthday, if you don't mind.

I'm saying that if what makes birthday an abomination is because it is pagans custom, then, all the things you are practicing in your organization are pagans customs.

Some of them are:
1. Piercing of the ears
2. Wedding day DANCING
Note the emphasis on DANCING because your fellow believers in the 8 men have always avoided it and held on to wedding.
3. Building of temples/halls
4. Wearing rings
5. Anniversary of whatever
6. Showcasing your deity( the organization) to be better than others; and so many other things.

You are involved in these things why then are you accusing others:

*. 2 Timothy 3:3 "KJV:Without natural affection, trucebreakers, FALSE ACCUSERS, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"

Show us why your founding fathers celebrated Christmas and BIRTHDAYS despite the presence of Leviticus 18:3a in your Bible and died doing so.

After all one of your brothers said Matthew 28:20 was given by Jesus. Tell us why your founding fathers didn't follow through on that and still make heaven grin grin

The circling continues. Back at Leviticus 18 racing back to Matthew 28:20 soon.

He will not answer. But the implications is that the 1914 Jesus is not the owner of Matthew 28:20.

Indicating the non-Christian origin of many of apostate Christendom’s doctrines, ceremonies, and practices, 19th-century Roman Catholic cardinal John Henry Newman wrote in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine: “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [the song “Lord, Have Mercy”], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.”

Rather than sanctify such idolatry, “Jehovah the Almighty” admonishes Christians: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves, . . . and quit touching the unclean thing.”​—2 Corinthians 6:14-18...... The book of Revelation (2006)

Which one you accept the one in your post or mine?

Ecclesiastes 7:1, where Solomon asserts that the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth

Show where Solomon assert the day of birth is bad. At least we know death is better and going by your previous post it is natural to curse one's day of birth just like Job did.

Did you curse the day Jesus was born since it's natural to do so like Job?

Some times I'm just wondering what is the problem with you.

Ok here now you are saying ( accusing) Solomon of pagans practices. That despite his involvement in pagans practices was not remove from the throne...

at the same time you and your organization are ready to remove birthday and Christmas celebrants.

But the holy words of God have settled this when it says let those who do not celebrate ( birthday/Christmas) not despise those who do, and vice versa:

*. Romans 14:3 "KJV: LET NOT HIM THAT EATETH DESPISE HIM THAT EATETH NOT; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: FOR GOD HATH RECEIVED HIM."

will you at this time accept the Word of God in place of watch tower?

If God has received celebrants, are you going to beat Him or what?

GIBBERISH as usual.

Matthew 28:20, is your Christmas and annual birthdays celebrations, the teaching and command of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 28:20, according to Jesus Christ, is your noise on annual birthdays and Christmas celebration untenable?

Their god is their belly. Pagans pretending to love Jesus
grin grin grin cheesy


This your Matthew 28 :20 is different from the one your organization founders read o.

If not they would not have celebrated birthday and Christmas.

You've said nothing worthwhile, but i can assist you with thought provoking questions that could make your comments meaningful to people!

Has the Messiah (Christ) come?
What was his name?
How about his teachings?
How can we identify his true followers?
Can you list their achievements?

But whether his blue, black, green, yellow or white is nonsense and ingredients because nobody has seen God at any fuc*ing time so nobody needs his skin colour for any reason whatsoever! cheesy

Very good bro. But ponder on all I have said cos a time will come when all your religions with their Circus centres will fade out when the hidden truth is unveiled.

[/b]"...Show where Solomon assert the day of birth is bad...."[b]

Lol, only those wearing Watch tower eye glasses can see it in the "nature".

Quote scripture but explain nature...

Yes they see how natural it is to curse day of one's birth

He will not answer. But the implications is that the 1914 Jesus is not the owner of Matthew 28:20.

Thanks for the clarification my error for not detecting that 1914 Jesus is indeed not the owner of Matthew 28:20. Chai! the light just get brighter.

Some times I'm just wondering what is the problem with you.

Ok here now you are saying ( accusing) Solomon of pagans practices. That despite his involvement in pagans practices was not remove from the throne...

at the same time you and your organization are ready to remove birthday and Christmas celebrants.

But the holy words of God have settled this when it says let those who do not celebrate ( birthday/Christmas) not despise those who do, and vice versa:

*. Romans 14:3 "KJV: LET NOT HIM THAT EATETH DESPISE HIM THAT EATETH NOT; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: FOR GOD HATH RECEIVED HIM."

will you at this time accept the Word of God in place of watch tower?

Romans 14:3 "KJV: LET NOT HIM THAT EATETH DESPISE HIM THAT EATETH NOT; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: FOR GOD HATH RECEIVED HIM."


Did you miss it? The educated literate and mumu detector is the master, perfecter and finisher of people's faith. He holds all authority to despise according to that scripture.

I just dey view the level of im educated literacy when he asked why was Solomon not removed from his throne by God when he engaged in pagan practice?

If he could asks such a question when this thread got to page 16 you wonder what is the essence of his previous post up till that point. Well, na Awon educated literate fit ask that kind question.

Leviticus 18:3, Bros, back up your claim.
Can you name the Israelites who copied annual birthdays celebrations from the Egyptians?

Bros, is mourning a sin ?
@ John 11:35, Jesus mourned.
Did he celebrate Christmas?
@ Matthew 28:20, is Jesus against Christmas?

Bros, no dey DECEIVE yourself
grin grin grin.


Job's children did that.

The same Paul who admonished you to shun Christmas seasons/birthdays , "special days and seasons" of pagans. Galatians 4:8-11.

Whenever you prove your hypocrisy, Paul is not a hypocrite.
Neither would he pen by inspiration , according to your claim, two conflicting positions (@ Romans 14:6 & Galatians 4:8-11) on the same matter.
Do not esteem pagan practices as holy or special.
Clown grin grin

No wonder you people are a joke.

Paul is referring to days, months, and seasons observed in honour of pagan gods not birthdays.

When one appreciates God for been a year old weather with feast or not , it is not a sin.

Only false Church like yours claims it is a sin.

They are not conflicting only in your biased head that it is conflicting.
In Galatians 4:8 Paul is referring to those practices that pagans do to honour their gods, which covers a lot of things, even in mourning their dead there are practices that pagans do that are not godly.
Are we supposed to stop mourning becos pagans do it .


Roman's 14:6 talks about one choosing a day as been special unto God,, paul says one has the liberty to do that as long as it is with regards and honour to God.

Which day is more special to a man than his day of birth.
It was a thing of joy to be born and remains for how long the person lives.

No where do this two Bible verses contradict themselves, Paul is clear on what he says.

Only you and your people twist God's word to mean something it does not mean.

Abraham celebrated Isaac be weaned, I guess he committed and offence?

Ecclesiastes 6:3,Did your own Bible say the man who never hundred children celebrated annual birthdays of himself and his children?

Bros, you are a joker.
Continue twisting the holy Scriptures.
grin cheesy

It obvious you cannot comprehend bible.

If you had sense you will know that the bible verse here is talking about how old or ones birthday.
Although not an alright or clear instruction on birthday.
We can see that Solomon the writer intended to say that a man should have joy and happiness as he counts his years.

"Days of his years"

A Christian showing the World he is against Jesus @Matthew 28:20

You dey shout celebrate Christmas/birthdays upandan when you know @ Matthew 28:20 , Jesus Christ is against Christmas/birthdays celebrations.
Bros remove the rafters in your eyes.

I know your type, they claim not to celebrate birthday but commit a more gravious sin.
