two ladies from jw came to my house for evengelism.. I wasn't in the mood for argument so I simply asked them to start with a word of prayer, what I know they hardly do, they left with style with a promise of coming back. They never came back I think they will avoid my room

Here comes this one with hasty generalization. I have seen some JWs that are better than other Christians. I have seen others that are far better than JWs.

It depends on the individual on which group he belongs to. But the most dogmatic jw is an extremist.
Oya, start giving particulars.

The JW owe us an explanation when they pride and boast in saying they are the ones who carry out Christ's assignment of preaching to people. How can make such a boast when the people you are preaching to are already Christians? If you think you have the right to boast about preaching to Christians, then what do you expect those missionaries who went through hell to convert those people to Christianity to do?

I wonder where I said I do not like JW. Why are you suddenly taking the victim or the persecuted position? You spend all your money publishing watchtower and awake magazines to discredit the Catholic Church and other Pentecostal Churches, but when they expose your falsehood, you claim they don't like you and are persecuting you.

I can assure you that if the few missionaries facing persecution in Saudi Arabia successfully convert the country to a Christian country, you JW will immediately go there and start trying to convert the Christians to JW. You will start boasting of how you are the only ones preaching from door to door in Saudi Arabia, but you were never there when conditions were harsh and hostile.
JWs are everywhere. In Russia, they have been banned. That environment is a very hostile one. The only countries JWs have no kingdom Hall are North Korea, Sudan and Afghanistan. If u build a Kingdom Hall and it get burnt and everyone killed, how do u get to preach. That's why we have the jw.org for such countries and a lot of persons from these hostile countries are studying the bible online, with JWs. Someone once said dat it is only a fool that wld draw the sword, wen all he needed to do was use the bow and arrow.

You pay taxes to the government and they embezzle it. But you don't stop paying cuz of that. Why? because paying taxes is your responsibility not choice. In God's government, it is also your responsibility to pay tithe

Where are you told in the bible to give tithe to your pastor? That you are zealous about tithe doesnt mean its right. You are only feeding your emotions. It has nothing to do with God
2 Corinthians 4:4 says that the devil has blinded their eyes and hearts so God's light of salvation cannot shine thru.

God rejected eli' and still approve hannah's prayer, that is the way of my reasoning.
I don't remember Hannah praying to Eli. She prayed to God. Abi make I sheck my bible if dem don edit am tongue. The only connection between Eli and Hannah was dat Eli told her that "may God grant her desires". It wasn't Eli th brought the blessings on Hannah. If it were so, Hannah wld have asked Eli from the start to "beseech the Lord" for her, rather dan pray by herself.

You wear a cologne, and you begin to smell nice, someone then asks how are you sure the nice smell is from the cologne?
You have the memory of how things were before you wore the cologne. That's how it is with tithing. You do it right, it'll spell a clear difference.
Mind you, gullibility is too small a motivation for anyone to pay tithe. For us who do-sometimes even above the required portion- the blessings we get are our thrust.

For peeps who don't believe in God, you shouldn't refer to what they have as blessings. Blessings from who?. They're merely successful, and no one disputes that. Now you should get the point clearly. That you drive to Abuja doesn't change the fact that there are others who get there by flight. So some prosper by their hardwork, whereas for some of us it's God's blessings on our works that amplifies our success.
Scriptures pls?

Originakalokalo:
Some people work hard and are not successful.

Paying tithe is not just for success,

It is obedience to God's word.

A greatful heart is a heart that gives.

If you give God your ten percent, it means you trust him.

I will add this,


Tithing is not the only way to serve God.

You serve God if you show love, executes good Judgement, obey his words, and show mercy.


Tithing is one of the ways to serve God.
Is dat why u didn't Base ur opinion on any scripture? Or is the bible no longer relevant for justifying our beliefs or opinions?

EVEN IF PASTOR USE MY TITHE TO PLAY GAMBLE, I WILL CONTINUE TO PAY. I can only pay through pastor, i didnt pay to pastor. as far i enjoy and bein bless through it. Nomatter what any #frizzar say dat is ur problem.
No one is disputing that with u. All we are saying is dat since "All scripture is inspired by God and therefore beneficial for doctrines, teaching, setting straight and reproving in righteousness", on wat scripture is tithe paying based in present day? Especially bearing in mind Hebrews 7:12 and Hebrews 8:13. While on earth, Jesus Christ never resorted to his opinion. Rather, he based his opinions and responses on the scriptures. Moreso, 1 Peter 3:15 tells us how to respond to posers on our faith.

BusinessRe: Innoson Files Motion For Stay Of Execution Over Arrest Warrant by DavidEsq(m): 9:20pm On Feb 10, 2018
Housing:
Innocent's counsel is just buying time and results to abuse of court process. How can an accuse in a criminal case file for No Jurisdiction without formal arraignment and taking of plea? It is a straight forward case.
Dis is me, seriously believing dat I'm taking to a non-lawyer, with due respect.
The time to object to charges against a person is before plea is taken: Ojo & Ors. V. State (2016). An arraignment can only be said to take place wen the charge has been read to the Accused/Defendant and the accused person takes his plea. To object to the irregularity of the charge after plea, amounts to a waiver of the right to so complain. Q.E.D.
BusinessRe: Innoson Files Motion For Stay Of Execution Over Arrest Warrant by DavidEsq(m): 6:19pm On Feb 10, 2018
Wallade:
I think Innoson's lawyer is wrong on this:

EFCC has no power to investigate Chukwuma - lawyer
Chukwuma's legal counsel, Mbadugha further said the EFCC has no power to investigate, initiate and prosecute the appellant — Chukwuma — for “forgery, uttering and stealing.”

For those who think Innoson Boss is teaching EFCC a lesson, I think you guys missed it - If it is established that Innoson is guilty on the accussations, then Chukwuma is simply a fraudster and criminal that shuold be in jail despite his innovative idea of Innoson.
Guilt is a matter of proof beyond reasonable doubt, which can only be done in a court of law. Chukwuma's guilt as u put it can only be determined by a court of law and it is for EFCC to prove it and not to duplicate his trial. It is an abuse of court process, if the same trial for the same alleged offence is b4 anoda court of law.
As for the bench warrant. The FHC in Lagos was wrong to issue it on the basis that Innoson Boss held the court in contempt by failing to appear before the court, without first resolving the issue of its jurisdiction to try the matter and to punish for contempt.
In a general sense, that is the procedure. However, were wat is in issue is the jurisdiction of a court to make an order in respect of contempt, then the court must first resolve the issue before going ahead to make any order.
The counsel to Innoson Boss challenged the jurisdiction of the court to hear the case and and to punish for contempt. Wat shld t judge have done?
She shld hav first resolve the issue on weda she had the jurisdiction to punish for contempt, before making the order for his arrest.
In Ebhodaghe V. Okoye, the Supreme Court said that "jurisdiction is extrinsic and sui generis in nature and the power of a court to punish for contempt is inherent in the very creation of the court and such powers do not depend on the court's jurisdiction to hear or try the substantive matter and as such, a court which ordinarily has no jurisdiction to try a matter can also punish for contempt". Or even if the court's jurisdiction is being challenged, the court still has the powers to punish for contempt. But the only time a court cannot punish for contempt is "if it is its power to punish for contempt that is being challenged".
From the argument of Innocent's counsel, both the jurisdiction to try the case and to punish for contempt were in issue. This is because the counsel argued that the court did not have jurisdiction to try the offence and since it had no jurisdiction to try the offence, it had no powers to make orders.

Bro! I am not defending that lady but from my personal experience its possible. It was actually my surbodinate mysteriously stealing cash from the ATM vault...Surprisingly, the cash are placed in the ATM vault only to replenish the empty cassettes. By the time we visit again it will surprise us to see missing packets. It stopped as soon as that lady was replaced. Note: she isn't a custodian to the vault, just her touch of designated ATM cash will trigger disappearance of cash at the end.

You can doubt it but I pray you don't experience it cos it can prove costly.

Yeah, we all know karma is a b***h but sometimes we like to handle shit ourselves.

I'll shoot first. There was this lady I tried running her package sometime ago. Slightly endowed behind but face was just there. She was kind of quiet too. She worked a small a detailed at shoprite (that wasn't where i met her though but I need to state it).

Long story short this girl showed me fire. I wasn't a sucker at this game but this girl was trying to play with my senses. She has a boyfriend, she'll take me as a friend bla bla.She can't date me but wanted to spend my money. Talk of friendzoning.

The final straw came after she repeated this deed a third time. We planned on hanging out that evening and after driving over 30km from my place to pick her at work, she hops in and say she she's tired, I should drive her home. Her home was just about 2km away from Shoprite. I was mad and I didn't call again but my mind wanted revenge.

*who the hell does she think she's is anyway huh

So about 3 weeks later, I called up a friend, big massively endowed and curvy girl who wanted something serious but I wasn't down. We hooked up and went shopping, where else If not shoprite.

All eyes were on usher. We packed the trolley full and madam was all over me. Lol. I saved the Personal healthcare aisle for last. Didn't take long before I sighted the ugly biatch, walking up and down and sweating and dancing like popcorn in frying pan.

I looked in her general direction but I acted like I didn't see her. I only looked over her head like Shebs no dey dere. I could see defeat in her eyes.

We checked out and that was it.

Share your stories guys?

It may sound absurd but it actually happened to me severally while I was managing about 20 ATMs in a particular region. Cash would be confirmed, double confirmed before loading only to discovered shortages from unloaded cash with in the ATM vault despite dual control. It stopped after I went spiritual about it and was asked to remove a particular lady from the team, and ensure she mustn't touch cash designated for load but with stern warning not to accuse her... My people, I paid loads of gbese just to cover up before auditing thanks to my frequent reconciliation.

Speaking for myself, I've not reached the peak of my success just yet, but I know who's been there for me when I needed them the most & those are people I'll drag with me to the top. The rest can go Bleep themselves!

I once read something that really hit home with me. It said: Money doesn't change people, you just didn't care enough about them when they were broke.

The thing with people is, they expect things that themselves are incapable of giving. So make sure you're loyal in order to get the loyalty you want back. Some of us are still human at heart & will never forget those who had our backs when everyone else turned theirs on us. The end.
