Meedon:
I will be grateful

I really find this article very helpful: https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/questions/suicidal-thoughts-want-to-die/

In a nutshell, select and marry the person who verily loves you not one who you trip for.

Lightangel65:
You are feeding him theattention he wants

Mine attention isn't expensive.

Spits.

Isn't this clear than humans' governments cannot put an end to suffering? They politicize lives!

Meedon:
It will soon be over.

I'm not really supporting you take your life. There's more to life than seeing negative things. Can I share you a book?

Human governments have failed.

Charms? That's weird. Try poisoning sth it eats and dropping it there.

Meedon:
Mr. Teacher be careful

How do you worry about care now? I thought you detested life?

Zzor:
the blood transfusion

What about it?

What you dislike'bout yourself may be envied by others. Be first you. You really don't need to make people accept you if you can't accept yourself.
.
Some are blind, some are dwarfs, some are crippled, and some are dead. Are you trying to show ingratitude to the giver of life? I repeat, be first you.

I sell poison in case you need my sales. But unfortunately, I wouldn't sell to you.

I totally don't support it.

Do you in any way own NTA?

You can either divorce or forgive. Personally, it'll be difficult for me to forgive adultery.

Zzor:
I love jw but still don't like some of their doctrines

May I know some of them?

Meedon:
I'm an atheist

Even atheism is a religion, don't be deceived. Whatever sb holds on to is a belief.

NP: Falz - This is Nigeria.

It's cool.

Have you ever wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses come knocking on your door?
.
During Jesus human existence, he told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” ( Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13) After Jesus’ death, first-century Christians continued to spread their message both “publicly and from house to house.” ( Acts 5:42; 20:20) We follow the example of those early Christians and find that the door-to-door ministry is a good way to reach people.
.
Of course, I'm expecting a comment reminding us why we still have to come back even when we know we neither are invited nor loved. We understand and love makes us want to come back. Why? We want to see you live forever!
.
What if I don't like you guys?
What don't you like about us? I bet you don't know why you don't really like us. We've done nothing wrong. Probably, you don't like us because you discovered your friends or family don't like us. Is it what you always want to say to chase us away? We also understand. We come in both sun and rain because we love you. Before I became a Witness, I also shared your point of view till one person asked me why I really didn't like Jehovah's Witnesses. I really didn't like I really didn't have a good reason not to like them.
Why don't you be open-minded. In case you are thinking we charge for a discussion or we come to sell sth, be free, we conduct bible studies free of charge.
.
Do you know Jesus also preached anywhere he found people and his apostles went from house to house?
That got you. You are welcome.

.
A good question you should ask is what we preach.
.
You are free to ask civil questions.

Meedon:
What does that say?

You have the right to know what it says if you read it yourself.

Bear in mind, we respect the authorities. We are law-abiding people. In case you have a question about patriotism, do well to ask yourself: how many 'patriotic' politicians are worthy to what they vowed?
We believe the secular authorities are part of God's purpose. We will pay allegiance only to such kingdom that can bring an end to suffering, pain, ageing and guess what? Death will die!
.
To my Christian family here and diaspora, I love you even if I haven't seen you before. To my neighbours and friends and foes, much love too.

Why Jehovah's Witnesses don't involve in Flag Salute, Voting, and Civilian Service Flag salute.
.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that bowing down to a flag or saluting it, often in conjunction with an anthem, is a religious act that ascribes salvation, not to God, but to the State or to its leaders. ( Isaiah 43:11; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 John 5:21) One such leader was King Nebuchadnezzar of ancient Babylon.
.
To impress the people with his majesty and religious ardor, this powerful monarch erected a great image and compelled his subjects to bow down to it while music, like an anthem, was being played.
.
However, three Hebrews​—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—​refused to bow to the image, even on pain of death.​—Daniel, chapter 3.


.
In our age, “nationalism’s chief symbol of faith and central object of worship is the flag,” wrote historian Carlton Hayes. “Men bare their heads when the flag passes by; and in praise of the flag poets write odes and children sing hymns.” Nationalism, he added, also has its “holy days,” such as the Fourth of July in the United States, as well as its “saints and heroes” and its “temples,” or shrines.
.
In a public ceremony in Brazil, the minister general of the army acknowledged: “The flag is venerated and worshiped . . . just as the Fatherland is worshiped.” Yes, “the flag, like the cross, is sacred,” The Encyclopedia Americana once observed.


.
The aforementioned encyclopedia more recently noted that national anthems “are expressions of patriotic feeling and often include an invocation for divine guidance and protection of the people or their rulers.”
.
Jehovah’s servants are not being unreasonable, therefore, when they view patriotic ceremonies involving the flag salute and national anthems as religious. In fact, when commenting on the refusal of children of Jehovah’s Witnesses to give homage to the flag or to swear the oath of allegiance in U.S. schools, the book The American Character stated: “That these daily rituals are religious has been at last affirmed by the Supreme Court in a series of cases.”


.
While not joining in ceremonies that they view as unscriptural, Jehovah’s people certainly respect the right of others to do so. They also respect national flags as emblems and recognize duly constituted governments as “superior authorities” serving as “God’s minister.” ( Romans 13:1-4) Hence, Jehovah’s Witnesses heed the exhortation to pray “concerning kings and all those who are in high positions.”
.
Our motive, though, is “so that we may go on leading a calm and quiet life with complete godly devotion and seriousness.”​— 1 Timothy 2:2.

.
Voting in political elections.
True Christians respect the right of others to vote. They do not campaign against elections, and they cooperate with elected authorities. However, they remain resolutely neutral with regard to the political affairs of the nations. ( Matthew 22:21; 1 Peter 3:16)

.
[b]What should a Christian do in lands where voting is compulsory or in a situation where feelings run high against those who do not go to the voting booth?[/b]Remembering that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego went as far as the plain of Dura, a Christian, under similar circumstances, may decide to go to the booth if his conscience permits. However, he will take care not to violate his neutrality. He should take into account the following six principles:

.
1. Jesus’ followers are “no part of the world.”​—John 15:19.
2. Christians represent Christ and his Kingdom.​—John 18:36; 2 Corinthians 5:20.
3. The Christian congregation is united in belief, and its members are bound together by Christlike love.​— 1 Corinthians 1:10; Colossians 3:14.
4. Those who elect a certain official share responsibility for what he does.​—Note the principles behind the words recorded at 1 Samuel 8:5, 10-18 and 1 Timothy 5:22.
5. Jehovah viewed Israel’s desire for a visible ruler as a sign that they had rejected Him.​— 1 Samuel 8:7.
6. Christians must have freeness of speech when speaking to people of all political persuasions about God’s Kingdom government.​— Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20; Hebrews 10:35.
.
Civilian service.
In some lands, the State requires that those who reject military service engage in some form of civilian service for a period of time. When faced with a decision on this matter, we should pray about it, perhaps discuss it with a mature fellow Christian, and then make our decision on the basis of an informed conscience.​— Proverbs 2:1-5; Philippians 4:5. God’s Word tells us to “be obedient to governments and authorities, to be ready for every good work, . . . to be reasonable.” ( Titus 3:1, 2)
.
With that in mind, we might ask ourselves the following questions: ‘Will accepting the proposed civilian work compromise my Christian neutrality or cause me to be involved with false religion?’ ( Micah 4:3, 5; 2 Corinthians 6:16, 17) ‘Would doing this work make it difficult for me to fulfill my Christian responsibilities or even prevent me from fulfilling them?’ ( Matthew 28:19, 20; Ephesians 6:4; Hebrews 10:24, 25) ‘On the other hand, would engaging in such service involve a schedule that would allow me to expand my spiritual activities, perhaps sharing in the full-time ministry?’​— Hebrews 6:11, 12.
.
If a Christian conscientiously concludes that he could perform civilian service rather than go to prison, fellow Christians should respect his decision. ( Romans 14:10) If, though, he feels that he cannot perform such service, other

I flirted with her and she responded positively. We talked ALOT about sex and about all the things we would do to each other when we have sex.

From your epistle, you just want to have carnal knowledge with her, stop confusing infatuation with love.
.
Clearly, because she has a boyfriend (or told you she did) is the rationale behind the upsurge of love lust you suddenly developed to be the 'trophy winner' and outsmart her boyfriend.
.
You are not man enough, no, you are not. If you want a sexual relationship so badly, go and think of getting married not trivializing dating for sexual gratification.

Smiles.

Each year, same campaign promises -- a failed state. All we need is God's kingdom that doesn't need a routine campaign.

Your question is vague. State the game name and the phone brand and OS.

Proverbs 27:11, son.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, bro. Learn to recognize pastorpreneurs when you see them. I have less to say, become wise.
.
Second, you are under no compulsion to be recruited into hating the siblings or uncle with your dad. Focus on being the difference. A reality check may also reveal your dad could also be wrong.
.
Pastorpreneurs are not worth the blind bullet.

I don’t think I need to explain much. Whenever I Remember the conflicts that arise between my uncles and my dad, I begin to wonder if their relationship started from childhood.
They should be friends just like I and my siblings are right now, but every time they’re either having a land dispute or money argument. I perceive there’s not much love between them.
Some years ago my dad was involved in a fatal accident which I believe is the cause of his Parkinson’s disease.
While sitting quietly in church last Sunday I was called by the man of God to see him after service.
He made mention of the exact date my dad had the accident and that one of his brothers was the reason behind it.
I’ve not been myself this week, I even wonder if I and my siblings will live happily after we’ve All gone our separate ways.
What causes the hatred between themselves is what I don’t know, but I’m willing to avoid by all means.
I’ll accept views from all angles because a family issue should be handled with care

This world is shifted. What is originally spat upon is now being licked with joy.
