jesusjnr: But you called the many who were warning the "real devils" Pharisees and Sadducees at some point, so you obviously saw them as hating me for Jesus as I still think.
So what changed buda, it is you or me?
Or you think they were right at the time?
I think this is part of your delusion. I would not warn anyone about anyone else so as not to denigrate. I might have been offended by a person and be spewing hatred which is unlike me.
But I shall not be asking for evidence so as not to overburden you more than your current task does.
If you really "wish you understood" you'd continue reading and little by little you will understand. Ask questions when you want to. None are silly and I never tire.

One night some girl and some guy were going to a party but had an accident and couldn't go anymore so they went to her house and she called the guy's mama.
"Mama", she said. "We had an accident" "Hehn!" Said mama. "Is anybody hurt?" "No mama". "Olorun seun" said mama. "Come now and finish my hair my dear", and mama put the phone down. The girl turned to the guy, " Mama said I should come do her hair". Guy looked at clock and yelled, "Hell no"! And they went to bed.
The next morning, they got up early and went to the guy's house where mama stays, and as soon as they entered, mama ripped! "What time is this? Why didn't you come last night? Is that how you disrespect your mother?! And you want to marry my son!?"
On hearing his mama, the guy said, "Mama mi, it was two o'clock in the morning! It would have taken us 2 hours to get here!" But mama was having none of it and ripped some more till eventually, the guy ripped too!
"Would you ask my sister your own daughter to travel at that time?" And mama's response brought thunder. "This is my house!" He said to his mama. If you cannot be civil to my friend and live in my house by my rules, then get out!"
Mama think say na joke. Every morning the guy would wake up and say, "Good morning mama mi. Are you still here? I want you to leave my house please!" And three weeks later, mama moved out, and the girl and guy got married a year later with mama's blessings.
A year to the day after they were married, the wife and husband were returning from the home office where the wife had just been given Indefinite Leave to Remain when she said, "It's been a while since I have been home to see my mother, I'd like to go and see her". So they arranged for her to go and she was gone for a month. And when she returned, she said she wanted a divorce, "your mama, your mama, your mama!" And they divorced.
She went on to have two beautiful daughters who are now married themselves, while mama is still praying that her 60 year old only son find a suitable woman to give her grandchildren.
I think you have the patience and wisdom to deal with this. You calmly presented your case and I believe you remain calm when dealing with mama hence the 3 likes. I think you should have moved on when he refused to defend you. You should have told him off big time when he didn't and got him to commit to defending you from attack. What if it were an outsider, would he have said nothing then too?! Talk to him about it now.
The two star is for not living with her and for keeping her in a different state. That's bold! She has not changed. You saw it when she spoke to her husband who must have put up with her as long as her oldest child has lived. Don't go there! If she and her son move to your state, its probably time to move states unless you get that commitment from him to defend you from her in writing! And it likely would be worth less than the ink its written in! A commitment from her would be worth more, but I think that's wishing on a star territory.
I'll be rooting for you. Remain strong.
Biggermembersro: ....all for his mum to come later that night and was shouting saying and I quote "when I tell my son your husband to run he will run, even if I tell him to jump he will do just that so who are you to tell me you can't come, what silly sickness, if I blow that your belly, highest is you'll loose the pregnancy and then take in again,nothing is going to happen" I dey vex abeg, pls advice on other options fam.

Someone asked what happened after "your mama, your mama, your mama!" so I have gone back to him and gotten a bit more of the story and added it here.
Blue3k: Lol they better not start this again. The justice system should work without one of the prominent figures or courts meddling. Its only a few people on this website that are wise to the fact both parties are dirty. If that's case they should both go sit in jail together.
They may both well "be dirty" but one does not wash Sanusi and gandollar dirt in the same water nor does one let gandollar wash anybories rags not to talk of Sanusi's Eminence!
olumalcolm: MY TAKE. How did he allow himself to be cajoled into going out of his comfort zone to go fight in the US. You are the heavyweight champion, u dictate all terms to any mofo dat wnts d belts but...jeez am pained mehn
TATIME: Let me quickly present OUR own practical application of the quoted scripture! Jesus was teaching His disciples how to go out and preach about God's Kingdom. They're still contemplating on the fierce opposition awaiting them courtesy Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes and other Rabbis. They found a disciple{not one of the twelve} doing exactly what Jesus is teaching them to do. Out of envy they wanted to stop him since he is not one of the 12. Jesus corrected their views that the so called stranger is helping them doing what they ought to be doing with bravery. After they became anointed with the holy spirit {Act 1:8 compared to Act 2:1-4} Jesus began dealing with the 12 in a special way so that whoever wants to work for Jesus must come to LEARN from them. That was the foundation of the global organization! Revelation 21:14 So today whoever wants to work for Jesus MUST come and learn how to do so from his anointed servants. Whoever refuses is surely worshiping God but certainly NOT OUR OWN GOD!
Sounds like straight out of the Catechism. But I see your point. "Anyone who is not worshipping your way is not worshipping your God".
I think they are jealous of how you worship your God. Maybe they see your fruit is bigger than their own and it is making them jealous because their own fruit is small. Rather, here is you rubbing the bigness of your fruit in their faces! I think you should understand and have mercy with their not knowing how to farm.
Maximus69: So to worship our own God correctly, you must join our organization and comply with all the rules guiding our organization!
I think this is what people tend to misunderstand. They think by "our own God" you mean the one God, completely failing to understand that there are many Gods or there'd be no reason to tell you not to worship them.
Some say God but mean themselves in whose image they create their Gods and tell one to bow to.
Maximus69: That's the point my dear! You can now see that we're not forcing people to join us, neither are we stopping them from worshiping anyway they're pleased nor saying they are not worshiping God. What we are saying is 'there are rules guiding our own form of worship, whoever is not in 100% compliance to the rules CANNOT possibly worship our own God acceptably' period! So to worship our own God correctly, you must join our organization and comply with all the rules guiding our organization! We don't care whatever you conclude afterwards, that's the standard and it will NEVER change!
Emusan: Yet these are the people who see themselves as the only TRUE WORSHIPPERS of God.
I see the problem. I was told I can't be a Online JW self after showing my certification, and was told I'm "certainly NOT worshiping our own God JEHOVAH. Period! " It is rather odd if the same person says, "leave the judgement in Jesus' hands".
Should one not think that when one is condemning?
Someone explain the essence of this verse to me please.
Maximus69: The word BELIEVE eludes their intellect. Because it connotes something AGREED upon like a DEFINITION. Matthew 18:20 So in the actual sense, if two or three persons gather together and they can't come to a conclusive agreement binding on all concerned, definitely they don't BELIEVE in that gathering as worthwhile! That is why they continued to mock Jesus and they keep scattering {Matthew 12:30} as they are deceiving on another after disagreeing on serious sacred matters! You will hear them say 'we're worshiping the same Jesus' but it's evident that that's not what each of them truthfully have in mind! Adam and Eve ate the fruit of good and evil, this means each of them have concluded in their minds NEVER to take instructions from their creator anymore. Those following their footsteps are referred to as teachers or students of human traditions, they believe in setting personal standards, that is why they can't come together as on happy global family like JWs. Shadeyinka said 'i worship with ECWA but church doctrine don't define me' meaning you shouldn't expect 100% compliance from me regarding the teachings of any church. Whereas he claims to believe that the church is under the supervision of Jesus! So why NOT in 100% compliance to the church that's monitored by Christ? The answer is 'he wants to be independent like Adam and Eve, to set personal standards on rights and wrong' which is the main cause of the incessant friction you're seeing in their midst! We are Jehovah's Witnesses, whoever detests 100% compliance to the standard agreed upon, there is no way such can worship our own God acceptably! Ephesians 4:5-6
When Lennox Lewis was beaten by Rahman, everyone knew that Rahman was just lucky. Lewis had had little time to train and was busy acting a movie when he should be training. He underestimated Rahman and was beaten and he lost his belts. When they had the rematch, Lewis expectedly beat Rahman.
But Anthony Joshua is not a beast like Lennox Lewis. Anthony Joshua is nowhere as good as Lennox Lewis. He should get his acts right if he hopes to fight so soon (November) because Ruiz would beat him again. This time, he won't even see the 7th round. And when he loses again, he would be totally finished.
Hearn should have him fight some journeymen for a start. He needs his confidence back and he needs to learn on the job. Without all these, Ruiz would finish him in the rematch.
AJ did look lost in this fight like the amateur he is! Absolutely nothing outstanding about him except his height.
I watched Tyson's losses too and found that whenever his "elbow punch" was neutralised he was fuqd!
TATIME: One thing that i know is what Jesus Himself said "By their fruit, you will know" Please let's leave the judgement in Jesus' hands, you and i know fully well that "Jesus is the BEST judge!"
