Please don't be desperate, pretty dear. Desperation can lead to many vile things. Remember that marriage doesn't guarantee happiness. The society that you consider now may not be there in the future, so take your time while choosing a marriage mate.

Of course, anyone would look beyond outward appearance while choosing a car, how much more a marriage mate.

Be with sb who shares your beliefs; sb who is emotional, financially, physically and spiritually qualified.

At a point he even asked me what plans I have for our relationship, and I told him as the man he is the one to decide.

Really, the lady has a greater part to play in a relationship and its futuristic outcome; you have the right to who you want to spend eternity with. The key is dating sb who doesn't trivialize dating but understands it is a stepping stone to marriage.
Gracias.

It's alarming the way religion and politics are getting intertwined.

Speechless.

Earth is just so filled with badness.

Yawns.

The electorates are the corrupt ones, they keep recycling the waste politicians for selfish temporary gains.

'This is super story, a life of strife and sorrow..'

Better.

So bad.

If I didn't respond to you, it's clearly because I don't embrace arguments. I'll respond to meaningful questions.

Hello house. Please, between concrete hollow blocks (those with holes) and full blocks (without holes), which is the best? When I mean best, please analyze in terms of strength, durability, sustainability and heat.
Thank you.

ImaIma1:
All the gospel songs don't sing about Christmas and Trinity. Are you talking about all the songs or specific ones?

Thanks for your inputs, ma. You are not wrong. But I also sing Blues. More to that is we have sweet melodies we subscribe to that are comforting and inspiring too.

lomprico:
so flavours song is the only one you picked, besides you people listen and dance to flavours 'ukwu' but detest his 'most high' is there something that praising God does to you guys?

We don't embrace immoral entertainments. Do a study check.

Neddyogu:
If selling prepared academic works to students who would present it as original works isn't fraud to u, then there's a big problem. Ever heard of plagiarism?

It's sold a guide. Perhaps, no project is a virgin project in scholarly scrutiny.

xamuell:
Honestly I'm still confused on that issue because some part of scripture say that but another says something else. But let me ask you this. The gift of God is eternal life to those that are saved. Are sinners in eternal punishment not also eternally alive? According to your standing, even the damned have eternal life

The bible is not contradictory. The wicked will be cut off not tormented externally.

emmnprince:
You've not found the truth yet. The truth is not found in that organisation. I hope you find the truth revealed in the Bible, not in the Jehovah Witness New World Translation.

I think you have spoken well. What's the name of your church so I may consider?

Bluntemperor:
The Jehovah Witnesses are trying to be clever by half,even their Bible so different!
1.the OP says 'no basis for Trinity-a lie from bottom of hell.Jesus said'any sin is forgiven,but against the Holy Spirit is not'
-One (Romans 9v1)-what is Paul saying here's Conscience as Witnessed by of Holy Spirit- so your members only believed in the Flesh,no wander,Jesus told Peter ' this was revealed to you-not by Flesh or Blood,but by the Spirit.2Corth 13v14-Communion of Holy Spirit!
2.They don't believe in being Born-Again! Yet without no one can enter the Kingdom of God.(John3v1-15)
3.The Jehovah Witnesses are just hereon Earth-according to them 'to possessed the world!
-the drink and can get drunk
-the carry girls without restraint,since they don't believed in Holy Spirit.How can you believed in the Teaching of Christ,yet not ready to teach Holy Spirit?
So,don't allow people to be obstacles to your Heavenly race!

1. You yourself have made a distinction between Jesus and the Holy Spirit, sir.
.
2. Being born-again means many things to many people so we don't accept a generic sense of whatever meaning people accord to it unless an individual is to explain what it means to them. What does it mean to you?
.
3. We are drinkers, not drunks. We have wives, not whores. We do everything others do but legally and in line with the bible, eg. we drink with limits; about sex, for the married alone; we train our kids the best way; we have the best family of Christian association; we have the best friends, we have the best God -- we are Jehovah's Witnesses! (yet you just hate us because you came to learn people don't like us without any reasons of anything wrong we did. You hate us because we come knocking on your doors out of love so you and us may live eternally. You hate us because we carry bag in hot sun to meet you. You hate us for nothing).
.
Thanks for reminding me I found the truth. You are welcome, sir.

ImaIma1:
The bolded got me. Why do they criticize it?

His generic claims are false, ma. We don't stomach any sorts of entertainment against our beliefs -- we don't welcome vulgar, violent or immoral sorts of entertainment. About gospel music as said, we cannot embraces songs that credit what we don't believe too; songs of trinity, Christmas etc.

Mentorme:
Even Jesus taught people with the case of rich man and Lazarus. Luke 16:19-31

Okay, let's assume you are correct. So you mean a tip from Lazarus' finger will cure the rich man's thirst? It's clear Jesus' illustration explained a change in circumstances. Think: why did Adam and Eve not go to hell? Weren't they the original sinners? Or does it mean God is now working with the devil (the one who cause Eve to sin) to torment people? Good reasoning is free, bro. You are welcome.

justt:
And do you think it's godly to write projects for others let alone selling already written ones? Well, I guess you may not know. Kindly desist from such. It's an academic fraud. Don't aid corruption in whatever guise.

It's open source and sold a guide, sir. Writing projects is freelancing.

Bahamas95:
I wonder if it's one of the things they tell them in their kingdom hall. They are just so weird.

Could you believe my school mate who was a former witness is not in good terms with her parents because she now worships in Christ Embassy. Even her siblings hardly call her to know how she is faring. She is a strong girl and doesn't even give a damn about them, she is now a church worker there. Whenever she tells me stories about witnesses and why she left I can't stop laughing (Lol)...... Witnesses love and trust their fellow witness more than their own blood who is a member of another church. That's a fact.

Jesus did that too. Do you know?

lomprico:
they hate gospel music I don't know why

What's gospel music to you? Most High by Flavour? Well, most of the songs are written according to the singer's beliefs, of which many we don't believe. Perhaps, the so-called artistes sing for money.

Neddyogu:
And to think he perpetrates such academic fraud for as low as N2,500.

No wonder Jesus said "these honor me with their lips but their hearts are far from me".

All diz churchie people ehhn, I dey avoid them like no tomorrow.

What's really academic fraud to you? Please explain.

timlinofficial:
Can you please list this too
1. If you invite them to your place of worship they won't come unless it's for marriage as the believe you church isn't pure
2. That they believe they and only they serve God and other religions serve devil
3. Only they are honest and trustworthy
4. They have prophecy that the world will end and it never came to pass
5. That their governing body changed doctrine as they seem fit but questioning them means questioning God
6. They don't read other churchs publications but they want you to read theirs
7. They fear church elders than Jesus himself

I'm surprised to see you aren't proud of your church!

Oracle20:
There's nothing that describes JW other than hypocrisy. You claim to be followers of Jesus Christ but most of the hard-line beliefs are not found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. You instruct your members not to accept blood transfusions(my cousin died cause of this) even in emergencies where the person is sure to die without blood, but you can accept transplants, is there any organ in the human body that doesn't have blood inside? Is that based on the teachings of Jesus Christ? All your beliefs are alike in the sense that they have no basis in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Examine them yourself. A Jehovah's witness has no problem dancing to the music of naira Marley where he's only singing vulgar but once you play a worship song by Nathaniel bassey he/she is infuriated but you are a follower of Christ. You guys are just extremists.

At least, your cousin exercised faith in God and obeyed his commandments. Your problem is you don't believe people will be resurrected. Let's analyze Nathaniel Bassey. Is his song really for praises or for sales? Be open-minded. Tell me bro, the name of your church; be proud. You are welcome.

Hardtalk:
Oga, they stylishly removed the concluding part of that 1 John 5:7, from their own Bible. You will not see it there. Check the New World Translation and compare it with King James Version.

Oga, I hope you know the bible wasn't written first in English?

mike272:
But isn't what the bible said, it said the dead will be brought back to life and those whose name are not contained in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. Rev 20:14,15. Which version are you reading?

Read that scripture you quoted again. How can the said fire burn 'death' and 'grave' literally?

Cantonese:
Added to your explanations are the following bible verses:

1 John 5: 7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

How else can we describe it?

Unfortunately in the Jehovah witness bible this bible verse was carefully circumvented to read "For there are three witness bearers,". The same has happened to some other bible verses that you will not find in the Jehovah witness bible.

I need our brother to please get the complete bible now, read through and explain it.

I hope you know the bible was not originally written in English?

olaeffect:
Immediately you start preaching your religious sect/doctrine than preaching Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith; i stop seeing you as a believer or a Christian. No middle grounds.

JW believe in Jehovah than Christ, thereby rejecting Christ and the mystery that Jehovah Himself performed by the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.

The Roman Catholics are more concern about Roman tradition than Christianity or Jehovah.
80% of Roman Catholic doctrines are purely lifted from Roman traditional belief with nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity or Judaism.
Eg Mary being the mother of God rather than being just the birth mother of Jesus (first ever surrogacy).
The Roman Catholics never knew a woman can give birth to a child she is not related to by flesh and blood in the same way she was made pregnant despite knowing no man.

We Jehovah's Witnesses believe in Jesus Christ as God's son. It's the center of our message and that's why we join him and Witness about Jehovah.

Cantonese:
Agreed that blood is life.

But Acts 15: 28-29 and Galatians 5: 19-21 do not speak against blood transfusion.
Acts 15:28-29 says "That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled things..." Note clearly "idols". How does that translate to blood transfusion? The bible clearly here is talking about food offered to idols. Same thing the bible tells us in Revelations 2: 14, 20 among others as Christians.

Please can you read through it with understanding and explain how blood transfusion is connected to this?

In the medical field, when a patient is unable to eat through his mouth, the food is injected. It's in the same way. Perhaps, God is the giver of life.

maxzzo1:
OP explain the 1914 cos that Bible passage(Rev 11:15) did not state any year or time abi una bible different
