I didn't used to know the scriptures like this either until I sat down and began reading through , book by book, as if I was reading through a novel. That is when I learnt that what the Mogs spew from their pulpits are nothing but lies to manipulate the gullible in the name of God, just as Jesus Christ warned.

Jesus Christ said that it is only those who use the understanding they have - I started by using basic human language comprehension skills - in attempting to grasp the things of God, will have more understanding given to them. Those who refuse to use the understanding they have will have even the understanding they previously had taken away from them - Matthew 13 vs 10 - 13.

Tell me you don't go to church

Divoc19:
But that is crazy!
So crazy. Things have not changed. My dad was right. But, ain't turning back from Christ. Church or no church

Divoc19:
Dear Nairalanders, please I need clarification.

I have had this same personal beef with Christian religion for years now.

My father's friend died, the church refused to bury him because they said they couldn't testify to the deceased life as neither he nor my dad were active members in the church (the nature of their work).

This lead my dad to Muslims that accepted to bury this corpse and that was how my father got converted to Islam. This was before he even got married and had us(his many children) he always told us that christians don't love like Muslims do.

I got converted at 13, the love I had in/from/for the church was immeasurable in my teens. But as an adult, I have faced rejections from the church more than 3 times because I don't follow the rules.

Is church not supposed to be a place of spiritual cleansing/worship alone?

Why is church now an organization?

Must we be part of a church to make heaven?

Why is it that churches won't help you unless you are an active church goer i.e.
1. You have to pay your tithes with proofs.
2. Be active in one department or the other.
3. And attend home-cell e.t.c.
Before they can support you for;
1. Weddings
2. Naming
3. Anniversary
4. Wake-keeping e.t.c.

Thank you in advance.

The church doesn't have unlimited source of funds, hence, they have to help the committed members before outsiders.

If you are a member of a church, you shouldn't be a PARASITE but among those who contribute to help others. A parasite is one who claims a right to reap where they have not planted.

Hello there,

It's pellucid in almost every church. I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and we don't do all those rubbishes, and businesses prevalent in supposed churches.

I was a Catholic, and I could relate to what you are saying. However, do not relent if you have a thingy for Christianity. You only have to find the right one. My number is beneath this post.

Divoc19:
My siblings mock me but nothing can change my love for Christ it's just that churches today...

I only go to church these days cos of my kids.

I have once had lectures from the witnesses.

dingbang:
ah ah.. Na simple sturvs na, the physical body will decay and turn to dust.


My dear see..forget all these doctrines. The bible says train your own children in the way they should grow, and they will not depart from it. dont leave the work to pastor or teacher with the mindset that you are going to church for your kids.

See on sunday you and your husband can teach your kids the sermon every sunday and they will learn the scriptures very well..

Church nowadays na to show who wear fine cloth pass and who donate more.. Rubbish

Divoc19:
Am more concerned about when I die, who will(which pastor) and how will I be buried. All because I didn't associate with one of these churches? As a Christian?

RussellRutherfo:



Divoc19
Whatever, you do. Find Jesus not JW organization. Easy to get in. When you start asking intelligent questions. You will be shunned and ostracized.
Don't ever fall for the lies of JW organisation. Their years of changed teachings and false prophecies even shocks the Devil.

Dtruthspeaker:


See marketing! Why do you people market like bankers looking for target?

It's a rhetorical question so don't bother to answer.

MaxInDHouse:
Well i don't know anything about missionaries what i know is that Christians aren't obligated to come and do anything with you if you're not associating with them {Hebrews 10:24-25} a member might decide to attend your wedding or other events that doesn't go against his faith but the church as a whole have nothing to do with you if you're not a serious member.

Otherwise the church should officiate in any gatherings anytime anyone has something to do!

Divoc19:
Bible School teaches only what is in the Bible and gives deeper understanding of the word of God.

Divoc19:
That's what I was saying, they are not obligated to honour your invite because you didn't meet their requirement on paper.
In cases like this only few individual will like to help outside the church. I
t's not a good omen for the church.

achorladey:


How to do good to others now becomes something to be regulated by these men who set up these religious organisations.

Even when members are willing and ready to support the fear of being thrown out by these men will make them pull back.

Divoc19:

I tell you. They are all now physically greedy and spiritually helpless.

achorladey:


That first question na big one.

MaxInDHouse:


If you agree with your friend, he said you're good to go with your wife or son or mother or father as long as you're more than one you're OK to start your own worship.
So don't worry about organized people leave them with their wahala, do whatever you want with your fellow believers in the two or three persons Church service!

Divoc19:

I be female

And yes. Am good to go.
Covid even made a lot of us watch more online ministrations.
