The whole JWs body or some individuals  The JW founders, Emusan, which can be a few individuals and is definitely not the whole body as MaxInDHouse is making you aware, because if it meant the whole JW body, he'd be a Mason too which he obviously isn't! Fact is, despite the symbols, one can't help note how utterly ignorant "they" JWs are about Freemasonry. |

Love is not easily angered, nor does love keep record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Emusan: I won't! But I think the op choice of word is because SOME SO CALLED GOVERNING BODY and the founder have something to do with Freemason and spread throughout the OP posts, only dishonest person won't see that from his posts. They used symbols that Freemasons also use, but that does not mean a "tie", and anyone who knows about Freemasons would easily know no tie exists. As for good English, do I need to tell you to go back to school to be a "good student of English", since you claimed the op was asking "Are Jehovah witness tied to Freemasons", or are you now just being dishonest in claiming the op meant individuals? |

Emusan: I didn't see that from the OP, the OP post are about some individuals of JWs. Are you now claiming the op's subject matter is no more "Are Jehovah witness tied to Freemasons", which is what the op has been trying to convince you of in every post here, Emusan? Emusan: The subject matter is "Are Jehovah witness tied to Freemasons?" In fact, is that not what you are here claiming, or is it your claim that individual JWs may be Freemasons and there's really no tie between the association's? |

Emusan: With what I understand from your post and that of the OP, you didn't deny a JWs can be a Freemason neither do the OP claiming ALL JWS are Freemasons which means to some extent if not all the OP assertion here might be correct.
Or am I missing something here? Yes, you are missing quite a lot here, and you are missing it intentionally, which is just dishonest of you! If a JW is a freemason, would you therefore claim "Jehovah witness tied to Freemasons", as you claimed the op was asking as his subject matter? Emusan: The subject matter is "Are Jehovah witness tied to Freemasons?" Truth is the op is tying JWs to Freemasons, and "tied" implies much more than "a JWs can be a Freemason", and in fact, a JW touting a tie with Freemason would likely be de-JWed, and a Mason wouldn't do religion for risk of being deFreemasoned. Now, how I wish you two could continue this without mentioning buda so many times in your posts! |
Christianity Etc › Re: Are Jehovah's Witnesses Tied To Freemasons? by budaatum: 10:20pm On Mar 07, 2022 |
Emusan: I think the op point here is INDIVIDUAL JWS with Freemason which is evident from all his posts. If you go through the ops posts you'd see he's making connections about more than individuals where none exist, and even lies that connections exist in videos that show no connection whatsoever. In fact, JW and Freemasonry ideologically oppose each other, and going by what I'm learning about JWs, required loyalty to JW would stop a JW being a Mason. But I think I understand what you are doing here. It suits you to think JW and Freemasonry are in cahoots. Bet they both worship Baphomet too, according to you. |

Emusan: The best you can do is to provide the source where the OP unverified lies are debunked and dismissed.
You just don't say that without a link like how the op did. Emusan, with all due respect, I do not expect nor want you to believe me. Just go find out about Freemasons yourself and see if JW could possibly qualify to be a lodge. That's not to say individual members can't be Freemasons, mind, just JW likes to have more control over their members than the freedom of mind required to be a mason. You put JWs in the Garden of Eden and they'd never ever eat the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the only fruit masons will eat in the same garden because ignorance does not teach one to be enter an apprenticship to become a masonry. |

ifiokjohn: are you kidding me? Nigeria enjoyed it's highest agriculture gains since 1980s.
We did well in agriculture. We were producing much. Young Nigerians were getting into agriculture. Dude, please! If Nigerians were well into agriculture as you claim, would they not now be reaping the profit of selling "Rice a mudu now under APC is 1000, Garri one mudu today it 450 Beans more than 700 Spaghetti today its 400 naira"? Instead, non-productive you is moaning that bubu who called you(ths) a lazy fuq is not feeding you! Below is my description of you! budaatum: I was home during GEJ's time running my farm. If I asked them to come work for me at higher than the going rate, they refuse because if they went to stand outside the local government chairman's house he will give them 10 times what I will pay them. Hard working people were earning in a month what lazy fuqs were receiving in a day just for yelling rankadede! But where were these politicians getting the money from, nobody asked! From $150 a barrel of crude oil, of course. Money was so plenty that instead of hiring Joseph to advise them to save during the 7 years of plenty, my people were saying "a ti owo ẹni, a ti owo ẹni ẹlẹni, ki Ọlọrun ma fi kan wọn wọn” - their own money or another person's money, God give them either, with no care where it came from. Now, 7 years of scarcity has started, and you expect me to have sympathy?
Of course purchasing power has gone down, and all those things are happening! But how else would people who lived on rankadede survive when a barrel of crude oil is a third what it was and the person paying them the money has been arrested by EFCC? Do you seriously think we can be putting so much money in ghanamustgo and soakaways and not rue the rewards of our fraud, corruption and incompetence?
No, religion is not necessary. Proper understanding is, and of whatever our ideology is, and of our situation moreso. Unfortunately, we are not Mao's China nor Mahathir's Malaysia, and we are not going to be anytime soon until we understand how we ourselves are the devils who create the hell that we currently live in and decide to make it a heaven full of angels instead, with, as you say, "a new national consciousness". And yes, it begins by questioning so that we may gain understanding and demand better rule instead of selling our vote for ₦3500.
By the way, its for less that ₦1000 in my home town these days! Money don scarce! |

No Infrastructure, no power, no security Nothing except looting Govt is a continuum, If you yourself admit that this current administration did Infrastructure in 8yrs, then what can you credit the previous admin for in 16yrs?
What aspect of Agriculture did they take care of? were we not importing food under them? The evidence of Agriculture is to feed the country not to be president of a Bank. Its like saying Nigerians are rich because Okonjo is president of World Bank I think he wants us to ignore all the above, Raud. Nigeria does after all not teach the importance of history. |

ifiokjohn: You were part of them that protester against Jonathan for trying to end it..today youre quiet. Hypocrite Part of those protesting against removal of fuel subsidy? Seriously? I guess it's okay for you to make up crap in your head and believe it, lol, but if you got non-subsidy money, I'm selling electric tomatoes. budaatum: Electrical Tomatoes
The emboldened is about the only bit of this that got my attention but I notice it caught no one else's.
"Price controls"! It means a product is kept at a price set by government, and in Nigeria, we know it's kept low and very likely beneath the cost at which it can be sold at a profit. Like petrol really. But we can at least claim a reason for petrol with our crude oil and our ineptitude at running refineries. Electric though!?
Imagine it were tomatoes. You invest in land and fertiliser and labour and grow them, and when you get them to the market, government sets the price. I'm absolutely certain if that price is higher than the cost at which you grow your tomatoes, you wouldn't mind much. You'd likely be delighted if it's high enough for you to make a tidy profit. And if you're fortunate and the price set is so high, you'd likely invest in more land and more fertilizer and more labour and grow even more tomatoes. But this is Naija, where the price set by government is more likely to be way below your costs so that after you sell your tomatoes, you would have lost money.
Now think, you lost money on your tomatoes. Are you going to plant tomatoes next season? If you're into the charity business or you're stupid, you just might. But if you're not and have rent and school fees for your kids to pay and you want to eat and pay the interest on a loan I very much doubt you'd be stupid enough to throw your money away growing unprofitable tomatoes!
Well, that's the case with electricity in Nigeria I'm afraid. You generate it, transport it along unreliable transmission wires, lose a large chunk of it to illegal use and theft and what you do get paid for does not cover the cost of producing it. Now tell, would you plant electricity next season? I very much doubt it unless you're into the charity business or you're stupid, of course, but somehow, I just can't imagine you'd be either.
So, what's the solution you might wonder. Increase the price of electricity of course. But come on people, increase the price of electricity so electricity planters can earn more money and plant more and sell more? Surely you must be cursing me by now, or haven't you noticed you'd have to pay more for my electric if you want it?
Ok, perhaps you're all nice civilised folks and don't want to curse me so let's try a different way of looking at this. Imagine Buhari removes the price control so I can sell my electricity at a market determined price like I currently sell my tomatoes no doubt at a profit high enough for me to want to plant more next year. Are you cursing me yet? I'm sure you would be if it was the subsidy on petrol I were talking about removing. Hell no! You'd likely stone me if you could get your hands on me!
Well, that's what this piece is saying where it says "The private sector is given little incentive to invest.” After all, I'm in the electric planting business for the money and the profit and not because I love you all as Adam Smith would say, so why give you light if you aren't paying me for the priviledge! And you wanna complain you're in darkness?!
When you pay me enough to cover my planting of tomatoes after paying for the land and the fertilizer and the labour and the interest on a loan and cover what I lose to theft and illegal harvesting, and still make a tidy profit to reinvest, I will plant 12000megawatts of tomatoes and I will sell 12000megawatts of tomatoes and even more megawatts of tomatoes than you can eat even because you would be incentivizing me to invest what you pay me in more land and more fertiliser and more labour to plant more tomatoes so I will have more tomatoes to sell you and make more money. But if you want cheap electric, keep your price controls and don't incentivize me but don't expect me to waste my time labouring in the sun just so you can have light because, like you, I ain't that stupid nor into the charity business!
Anyone cursing me yet, because I am telling you, we are too cheap! |

Mind, they also inform me Nigeria had uninterrupted electricity, but I know that's a lie.
My hometown of the Orolu Kingdom didn't get electric poles until 75 and electricity didn't arrive till 79, and when the transformer blows up in Obanikoro which it regularly did all through the 70s, we'd be in darkness for months waiting for it to be fixed.
It wasn't so better is my point. I can forget balling my eyes out when told "Nigeria here we come". The thought of going to a country BBC had shown me was kwashiorkor ridden and children were killed just horrified me to the point of wondering if aliens had abducted my parents and replaced them with children eating beings!

In fact, pressure should make them settle rather than go to court especially if they are a big company, as the payment would be much less than their legal costs.
