Mummyfour:
My brother,it's true. Praying before they start preaching is what we used to chase Jehovah witnesses away. They will never pray and will argue that they have already prayed.
More than 10 people I know have attested to this fact.Pentecostals will pray for guidance and understanding of the word before preaching,but Jehovah witness don't. Except if they have changed in now o
If you were wise enough, you'd have asked any of them why they don't pray when sb forces them to.

This jehovah witness crap has delayed me from marrying one of their own, the girl that i have known for 8yrs and the family says am not marrying her cos am not a jw but all her bros married outside jw. What a demonic sect.
You don't have to lie. None of active JWs marry non-JWs, except if the persons converts. Lying to attack a is really not Christian bro.

So why do the jehovah witnesses not speak tongues?
Ur still beating about the bush
We speak different languages but don't do the ecstatic speaking that people of other religion do. Perhaps, it wasn't what was done by the first century Christians. That gift of the Holy Spirit was to preach God's Kingdom and people who heard it understood what was said. Is that its use today?

Jehovah witness is just a controversial religion and they teach their followers to be very controversial human beings.
My Dad is a Jehovah's witness and my mum is not. I grew up with my Mum. My Dad refused to attend my wedding because according to him it's against his believe since I did not marry a witness and he is supposed to dissociate himsef from me and disown me because according to him their bible teaches them not to mix with unbelievers��� I no kuku send cos I grew up without him so nothing to miss but at least I honoured him by doing my traditional marriage in His village. Today my Dad depends on me to survive knowing fully well am not a witness. If I was the one not doing well and he is still very rich, he would have disowned me obviously. So as far as am concerned Jehovah Witness people are controversial people who only practice the part of their religion that is convenient for them.
You mistake being principled with controversy. You'll learn someday.

The way this people who called themselves “Jehovah witnesses” behaves ehh. This blood transfusion thing naim weak me pass.
I can never forget Mama Precious. It was her delivery day she was rushed to this hospital where my mom works, she was my neighbor , she had lots of birth complications this made her lose lots of blood. In fact, she had broken water inside her it’s a very ugly situation that day you could see it all on the face of her husband. Even the cab that brought us to the hospital was blood flooded. Soon, the doctor said she has to go through an operation session but that she has to receive two pant of blood first. The man bluntly refused even with his wife and unborn child at the blink of death. We all keep begging and talking to this man for more than 40min he refused and soon the Doctor in charge got angry and asked them to leave the hospital while he goes home for rest. She died that day I hated that man till date for that incident. If y’all really have faith like you said then why do you use drugshuh If you had malaria why don’t you wait on the lord and continue attending meetings. Don’t you know drugs also contain some ingredients that isn’t 100% good for the body. Or if you said blood transfusions are cannibalisms act like most of you claim, then why do your girls rub makeups don’t you know most of this cosmetic ingredients are worms from graveyards?? Feeding on dead bodies.Although I’ve meet smart Jehovah witnesses who leave their environment to another place to have themselves treated without anyone knowing. Those ones get sense na. I know y’all wouldn’t listen to what anyone has to say but please if you’re in this situation I beg you let the person have his/her blood transfusions and you can disown them or dismember them. Just let this beautiful souls live please!!
We must obey God as ruler rather than men. Thanks. He is still the giver of life.

Let's talk about the army. Suppose we join the army and I'm a JW Nigerian soldier and Nigeria is warring against Ghana. I guess that's what fighting for peace means to you.It means I will have to kill another JW soldier. We love our brothers. We don't believe peace can come from humankind, take note.
omoharry:
They do not support joining the army nor fighting for their country. But they like the peace and freedom that comes to the country as a result of the blood spilled by others people from other religion so as to bring peace & freedom to world and country .
Left alone for JW, Hitler & his descendants would have been ruling the world and every non Germans would be slaves or other race who are considered totally inferior would have been exterminated .

That blood transfusion one is really crazy. I heard of a pregnant woman that died last year because she refused to take blood transfusion. Because there is no matching blood should not even be in the statement. Don't bring Doctors into that belief. Once the ABO blood group and RhD antigen matches, you can take blood transfusion and there won't be any complication.
This is a religious issue rather than a medical one. Both the Old and New Testaments clearly command us to abstain from blood. ( Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:10; Deuteronomy 12:23; Acts 15:28, 29) Also, God views blood as representing life. (Leviticus 17:14) So we avoid taking blood not only in obedience to God but also out of respect for him as the Giver of life. Remember, he is the 'Giver of Life.'

tete7000:
Contrary to biblical injunction of Acts 1:8, they witness to Jehovah rather to Christ. They are not Christians. It is why they reduce Jesus Godliness to Godlessness, because they know more than Thomas who called him, "My Lord and my God". The version of gospel they preach his one that suits their fantasy just like Paul wrote to Timothy: "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths".2 Timothy 4:3‭-‬4

They are delusional just like the man who started the sect. They teach heresy.
If Jesus is God, who was Jesus praying to in the mountains during his earthly existence?

They don't pray twice a day or rather they pray only when going out .


A fellow pastor was narrated to me what transpired between his wife , himself and a Jehovah witness member


J. W ...... Good morning ma

WIFE .... Good morning ( how may I help you?)

J. W ...... (introduction ) I have come ma to speak to you about
about the gospel

(the J. W started preaching and the wife cuts in )

Wife,........ sorry , would I have preferred you pray before you
start preaching

J. W .... No madam , I have prayed before coming out

Wife ..... sorry pls ...... my faith requires I (we) pray in
everything and everytime

J.W ...... I can't do that madam ... I have prayed once

After some minutes of discussing whether to pray or not ( the husband come out to end the discussion


Husband ....... My wife said you should pray before preaching, that it negates her own faith...... pls if you can't pray before preaching , you can now take your leave .


THAT WAS THE END OF THE PREACHING
You don't have to lie to attack a religion. No Witness will reply that.

OP how do you answer this? :

Christ told his disciples in Acts. 1:8, : But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ” Acts 1:8 NIV
Now instead of witnessing to Christ, you people claim to be witnessing to Jehovah. Are you people Christian, or some other sect apart from Christians?
1. It identifies our God. According to ancient manuscripts, God’s name, Jehovah, appears thousands of times in the Bible. In many translations this name has been replaced by titles, such as Lord or God. Yet, the true God had revealed himself to Moses by his personal name, Jehovah, saying: “This is my name forever.” ( Exodus 3:15) In this way, he distinguished himself from all false gods. We are proud to bear God’s holy name.
.
2. It describes our mission. A long line of ancient people, beginning with the righteous man Abel, bore witness about their faith in Jehovah. Throughout the centuries, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, David, and others joined this “great cloud of witnesses.” ( Hebrews 11:4–12:1) Just as an individual may bear witness in court in behalf of an innocent person, we are determined to make known the truth about our God.
.
3. We are imitating Jesus. The Bible calls him “the faithful and true witness.” (Revelation 3:14) Jesus himself said that he ‘made God’s name known’ and kept ‘bearing witness to the truth’ about God. ( John 17:26; 18:37) Christ’s genuine followers must, therefore, bear Jehovah’s name and make it known. This is what Jehovah’s Witnesses are endeavoring to do and that is why we Witness for Jehovah.

I hope JW rethinks the transfusion issue. There is no excuse at all for not trying to fight for the lives of your loved ones. It is so babaric to have a well known cure used for centuries and claim it to be unsafe. Op, millions of people have been saved by blood transfusion.

If transfusion is wrong and JW put their faith of healing with God, why bother to even take paracetamol when you have headaches? Why bother to treat other ailments at all? The blood is passed into the body, you're not drinking it. You do not get high from it, it saves your life so why?

I believe in the One God but religion should be followed with common sense. Know your God before you worship Him. If it doesn't sound, feel, smell, talk and look like Him, then it is of man. Believe it or not, man is far from perfect, very infallible, sometimes deliberate and sometimes not. Have mercy on your kind and save their lives. Blood transfusion has saved lives and people have lived their lives to the fullest like they never even required one before by the time they recover.
God values blood. Ask yourself: does death end it all? We Witnesses have a broader view of death. This life is not all there is.

Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.


They don't celebrate birthday
(say na pagan thing)

If you wish them 'merry xmas'
they won't respond, they will
snub you.

Stop lying there!!!
We don't believe in Christmas nor celebrate it.. After all, it is not Biblical. It may surprise you to note Jesus was not born on December 25. Think about this: what's the role of Santa Claus with Jesus?

litigator:
When I left home, studying with Jehovah witnesses helped my life tremendously. I am eternally grateful to sister Rose and her team who helped me study the Bible and also helped me with books.

I started a business which paid for my university degree because they opened my eyes to think and critically examine things in accordance with biblical injunctions.

Their teachings helped me through school and I never blocked any course or failed any major course except French and political science which I failed cos I refused to block. They were electives anyway, so there was no need to rewrite them as they were immaterial.

Soon, we were able to help each other gain a better understanding of the Bible as we prayed and shared lunch together. They often came every Sunday and my wife(girlfriend as she then was), will prepare rice and stew. We ate together, we were happy and prayed for a better tomorrow.

I wish I could have that opportunity all again to have sister Rose or any member of her team come to share the Bible with me. I miss them, but may God bless them wherever they are right now.

I take solace in the fact that I am able to access their awake and watchtowers, including other materials online or pick from their stand when ever I can.

I once visited Igeduma-Ehor, Edo State on a tour and enjoyed my visit.

As an Omnist, I learnt how to respect other people's beliefs. Take what you can and leave the rest, but never castigate them for their way of life.

I will forever be grateful to Jehovah witnesses for how God used them in making my life what it is today.

I don't have a monopoly of knowledge, I learn every day. But I am ever grateful to them and the Living Faith Family for how God used them in blessing my life.

Jehovah witnesses are good at what they do and if everyone could be as dedicated to duty as they are, the World will be a better place.

To every dedicated Jehovah witnesses out there, I say may God reward you richly for sharing the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of the challenges that abound.

I am eternally grateful for your books, it thought me how to study and apply logical cum analytical reasoning, which has helped my legal practice as a litigator.

May Gehenna and her flames be far from your abode. Amen.
I can help you locate the sister if only you give me a chance, please. Thanks for your experience.

Parents that lack responsibility and commitment bring more trouble than peace. Their children are inhumane, they lack proper upbringing.
Religion is not our problem, we're our problem. If religion ceased to exist, evil men will use politics, tribalism, regionalism etc to kill and destroy.
Politics has killed more than the number of people religion has killed. Many politician use religion to play politics. If the people of particular region are not religious, politicians use tribalism and others to cause problems for their selfish interests. Boko haram, ISIS etc are all political.
Yet u don't see politics as evil only religion. Politics does not preach morality religion does. Only few people follow the teachings of religion, majority are morally bankrupt, they use religion and politics to achieve their devilish aims and objectives. Blame it on them not religion.

Of a truth J. H do not believe in heaven or hell.

The OP shld stop twisting believes. They believe that heaven ND hell are already happening as those enjoying are already in heaven and those suffering in hell.... They believe That for heaven, God will wipe away all the bad people and the rest will live a peaceful happy life here on earth as the heaven...

The don't believe in the symbol of the cross. They say Jesus died on a pole ND not a cross...

On the speak on tongue... I may b confused on this as to which is Tru... But they don't believe in that

For the celebration, I think they God the concept wrong to trust more in science and archeology..... If a child choose to change his name from what his parents named him :we align with such child ND call him his nu name........ So if the people genuinely can't figure out a date of Jesus birth and death ND choose a day to celebrate those, God sees through their heart and would rightly hear their greet gs and prayers.. J. H is doing over Sabi with proving archeological facts to dis ard Christmas ND easter celebrations...
It's better you be like the people of Thessolonica who not only heard but checked if it was the truth. I told you what we believe in and you who know nothing about my belief said it's a lie. Funny you.
