North,i fear for North

So he collected the tithes and offerings back from God?or does it mean the whole tithes and offerings was in his personal account all this while?God knows better Sha.

MANY ancient cities were protected by massive walls. If an enemy breached just a small section of a wall, the safety of the entire city was at risk. Your body is like a walled city. How you care for your defenses has much to do with how healthy you are. Consider five elements that can expose you to coronavirus disease and how you can put up the best possible defenses.



1. WATER

THE THREAT: Harmful organisms can “march” straight into your body by way of contaminated water.

YOUR DEFENSE: The best defense is to protect your water supply from contamination. If you know that your water supply is contaminated or suspect that it is, you can treat the water at home to make it safe. * Store potable water in a closed vessel, and dispense it hygienically with a clean ladle or through a tap. Never put your hands into a clean water supply. If possible, you should try to live in a community that properly disposes of human waste so that it does not contaminate local water sources.

2. FOOD

THE THREAT: Harmful organisms can be present in or on your food.

YOUR DEFENSE: Contaminated food may look fresh and nutritious. So get into the habit of thoroughly washing all fruits and vegetables. Ensure that food utensils, kitchen surfaces, and your hands are clean when preparing or serving food. Some foods require cooking at a certain temperature in order to destroy dangerous microbes. Beware of food that is discolored or has an unpleasant odor or taste—signs that an army of microorganisms could be waiting for you. Refrigerate unused food as soon as possible. Avoid preparing food for others when you are sick. *

3. INSECTS

THE THREAT: Some insects can infect you with the harmful microorganisms that live inside them.

YOUR DEFENSE: Limit contact with disease-carrying insects by staying indoors when they are active or by wearing protective clothing, such as long sleeves and long trousers. Sleep under treated insect nets, and use personal insect repellent. Eliminate containers of stagnant water where mosquitoes could breed. *

4. ANIMALS

THE THREAT: Microbes that live harmlessly inside an animal can threaten your health. If you are bitten or scratched by a pet or another animal or exposed to its feces, you could be at risk.

YOUR DEFENSE: Some people choose to keep their animals outside the house to minimize contact with them. Wash your hands after touching a domestic animal, and avoid all contact with wild animals. If you are bitten or scratched, wash the wound thoroughly and seek a doctor’s advice. *

5. PEOPLE

THE THREAT: Some germs can invade your body by riding on tiny droplets in someone’s cough or sneeze. They can also spread through skin contact, such as hugging or shaking hands. Microorganisms from other people may lurk on such items as doorknobs, handrails, telephones, remote controls, or computer screens and keyboards.

YOUR DEFENSE: Do not share personal items, such as razors, toothbrushes, or towels. Avoid contact with body fluids from animals or from other people, including blood and products derived from blood. And do not underestimate the benefits of washing your hands thoroughly and frequently. It is perhaps the most effective way you can stop the spread of infection.

If possible, stay home when you are sick. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, but not into your hands.

An ancient proverb states: “The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.” (Proverbs 22:3) How true are those words today in a world plagued with potentially dangerous diseases! So inform yourself by consulting local health services, and conceal yourself from danger by practicing good hygiene. Bolster your defenses, and reduce the risk of disease!

How was it possible to continue your regular public meetings and Bible-teaching work?

The government imposed quarantines in some areas, so public meetings were canceled for a time. In those areas, families met at home for their worship. Some conducted Bible studies over the phone to minimize physical contact.

What happened if someone showed symptoms?

Authorities will be notified. Any individuals who had been in contact with a coronavirus victim, had attended a funeral of a victim, or showed symptoms kept themselves isolated for 14 days, the commonly accepted maximum incubation period for the Coronavirus virus.

When you see young people with grey hair, you will definitely find these Five qualities in them.

Scientifically, Grey hair is caused when the hair follicles contain pigment cells that produce melanin, a protein responsible for the colour of hair and skin. When your body stops generating melanin, hair presents itself as gray, white, or silver. (Melanin also provides moisture, so when less is produced, hair becomes brittle and loses its bounce.)

But should we say someone below the age of 30 has stopped producing melanin when the hair suddenly changes it colour?

As a matter of fact, Reasearches show that grey hair comes with excessive tasking of brain to perform certain task daily. I.e people that depends solely on their brain to solve problems are more likely to develop grey hair at early stage that their colleagues in a lesser brain-tasking profession.

No wonder Professors and Teachers in an academic environment do develop grey hair easily compared to their colleagues in other fields that are less tasking.

Funny enough, Apart from any claim people might have attibuted to causing grey hair. People with grey hair also do have the following unique characteristics as their personality type;

1. Calmness: Hardly will you see any youth with grey hair that is not calm. They always appear calm and calculative.

2. Wisdom: High level of wisdom is another powerful attribute. They hardly initiate an argument and when you call them to contribute, their contributions are always applauded.

3. They have great problem solving skills because of their high level of calmness and composure.

4. Gray hair people are excellent listeners

5. People with grey hair shows high level of effectiveness and productivity.

NOTE: You're free to challenge my verdict if you know I'm wrong.

Last last churches didn't help

Notice the differences

many people don't have the opportunity you had,a lot wants to be educated,but poverty restrained them,lots of parents wished they had money to train their kids in Nigerian universities,but your parents sent you abroad to study,and you dropped out of school and had a child out of wedlock,i hope your parents are not hypertensive,because when they hear this news it will shock them to their bone marrows.
Well, conquer your fear by facing your face.

Jehovah's witnesses don't assume or make predictions,they don't make prophetic statements,that article of Awake was just quoting a journal

NwaAmaikpe:



I love JWs for their strongwill and adamance to wrongly conform.
They understand that they only have Jehovah to please and not mere mortals who have been mostly led astray.

They are very grounded biblically and have no shame in preaching the gospel just like Christ instructed.

However what I find intriguingly confusing is the zeal in which their members struggle for Christmas gifts, Xmas Bonuses and souvenirs from events they do not endorse.

I also am aware of how easily their ladies easily spread their legs to be pummeled by the pendulums of unbelievers who they sought out to preach the gospel of redemption to.

Most importantly is the known notion of how terrible they are when they serve as landlords.

Our lives will be a lot better if only we practiced what we preach.
Better still, if we truly understood what we practice.

You need to understand that it's members are also imperfect humans who struggle to live a life that is pleasing to Almighty God.many of them also struggle to throw away their old personalities and put on the new personalities.

Why Don't Jehovah's Witnesses participate in New Year Celebrations?

The date and customs associated with New Year’s celebrations vary from one country to another. Regarding the origin of this celebration, The World Book Encyclopedia states: “The Roman ruler Julius Caesar established January 1 as New Year’s Day in 46 B.C. The Romans dedicated this day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two faces​—one looking forward and the other looking backward.” So New Year’s celebrations are founded on pagan traditions.

Do origins really matter? Yes! To illustrate: Suppose you saw a piece of candy lying in the gutter. Would you pick up that candy and eat it? Of course not! That candy is unclean. Like that candy, holidays may seem sweet, but they have been picked up from unclean places. To take a stand for true worship, we need to have a viewpoint like that of the prophet Isaiah, who told true worshippers: “Touch nothing unclean!”​—Isaiah 52:11.

What if you consider yourself to be a Christian​—would this affect your view of New Year’s celebrations? Well, can you imagine the apostle Peter’s going to a New Year’s party? Notice what he wrote in his first letter, 1 Peter chapter four, verse 3: “You spent quite long enough in the past living the sort of life that pagans live, behaving indecently, giving way to your passions, drinking all the time, having wild parties and drunken orgies and degrading yourselves by following false gods.”​—The Jerusalem Bible.

It should be noted that Christians are not governed by any sacred or religious calendar specifying certain holy days or festivals, a point that is clearly stated by the apostle Paul at Galatians 4:9-11 and Colossians 2:16, 17. The one event that they are required to observe annually, the Lord’s Evening Meal, at Passover time, is governed by the lunar calendar.​—Mt 26:2, 26-29; 1Co 11:23-26

The Bible’s View

The Bible admonishes Christians to “walk decently, not in revelries and drunken bouts.” (Romans 13:12-14; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Peter 4:3) Since New Year’s festivities are often characterized by the very excesses that the Bible condemns, Christians do not participate in them. This does not mean that Christians are killjoys. On the contrary, they know that the Bible repeatedly tells worshipers of the true God to rejoice—and that for a number of reasons. (Deuteronomy 26:10, 11; Psalm 32:11; Proverbs 5:15-19; Ecclesiastes 3:22; 11:9) The Bible also acknowledges that food and drink often accompany rejoicing.—Psalm 104:15; Ecclesiastes 9:7a.

As we have seen, however, New Year’s celebrations are rooted in pagan customs. False worship is unclean and detestable in the eyes of Jehovah God, and Christians reject practices that have such origins. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12; Ezekiel 22:3, 4) The apostle Paul wrote: “What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Belial?” For good reason, Paul added: “Quit touching the unclean thing.”—2 Corinthians 6:14-17a.

Christians also realize that taking part in superstitious rituals does not guarantee happiness and prosperity—especially since participating in such festivities can result in God’s disfavor. (Ecclesiastes 9:11; Isaiah 65:11, 12) Furthermore, the Bible admonishes Christians to be moderate and self-controlled in their conduct. (1 Timothy 3:2, 11) Clearly, it would be improper for one who professes to follow Christ’s teachings to be part of a celebration that is characterized by riotous excess.

As eye-catching and appealing to the senses as New Year’s festivities may be, the Bible tells us to “quit touching the unclean thing” and to “cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.” To those who comply, Jehovah extends the heartwarming guarantee: “I will take you in. . . . I shall be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me.” (2 Corinthians 6:17b–7:1) Indeed, he promises eternal blessings and prosperity to those who are loyal to him.—Psalm 37:18, 28; Revelation 21:3, 4, 7.

LegendHer0:
The USA goofed on this pronouncement and it just give credence to the fact that they are losing their influence on the world as the main embodiment of truth.

How do they reach the conclusion on categorizing all Muslims as being intolerant of the Christians? Do they mean the southern Muslims that have been coexisting peacefully with our Christian brothers are intolerant also?

Ain’t it ridiculous that countries like Saudi Arabia where there ain’t freedom of expression of religion and where people are killed in the savagely way due to the outdated shariah law are not termed intolerant? Why Nigeria this time!

On the issue of the Fulani terrorist herdsmen, everyone know those guys kill people for their grazing right and they don’t distinguish whether you’re Christian or Muslim. A Fulani herdsmen won’t ask for your religion before butchering you in your farm so where the bleep do the USA get their Islamization agenda from.

Buhari is a nepotistic leader, he is majorly doing something termed Northernization rather than Islamization. It’s just ridiculous to accuse him of Islamization. We’ve been hearing the term Islamization since he assumed position in 2015 and yet there is still freedom of practice of religion till now in naija.

If you go through the post on Washington times you will see that the author of the post is incoherent in his assertions. He’s even using Lagos as a case study for his claim of religious intolerance and one would but wonder the motive of the said author.

It’s the same USA press that said Lagos is the most dangerous place to live due to Boko Haram bombing and one would wonder when Boko Haram ever bombed Lagos.

[Did you read the post very well before typing,christians or Muslims were not mentioned,that is why you fail exams all the time

To add to the few points listed
(1) whenever they have their conventions which usually have a population of 2000 or more every weekend,everyone conducts himself or herself in an orderly manner,security men presence is zero percent,no quarrels,no argument's no fight.

(2) they divide themselves into congregations with members numbering to at most 120 persons,so that each member will everyone personally.

(3)no special seat for anyone,even the elders and ministerial servants can seat anywhere and even participate in cleaning after each service.

(4)no Sunday schools for the children,parents seats with their children to set good examples as parents.

(5) no associations of groups in jw,which may breed division,everyone is equal and associates together

(6)in jw,no body knows your tribe or ethnic group,you can only find out from mode of dress or accent of a particular person,everyone is regarded as one big family.

(7) no titles,even if you have a doctorate degree,or own the whole of Abuja,you will be referred to as brother or sister,you will sit in the same bench with others.

I can imagine fools ranting,most Chinese cars aren't beautiful,when it's economy was struggling,but they locked up their economy for 50 years and patronized their homemade items.where China is today is as a result of circulating their wealth within their economy.be proud of your products no matter how it looks.
