PhonesTecno Carcare=Your good deeds deserves commendation. by Drehilton(op):
Dear CarCare,
I have never been angry like this before just because of a phone.
It all started on July 16th when i decided to purchase a Tecno pad despite my brothers strict warning about Tecno's pad product.
It all started rossy as I eventually purchased Tecno PhonePad 7II from 3C HUB.
Just about 20 days later (6th Sept. 2016)The pad just tripped Off and its not powering ON again.
I immediately made the complain and returned the pad to the place of purchase on Sept. 7th where I was referred to CarCare 2nd Floor Digital Square Center...
CarCare admitted that the issue is a software issue and that it cant even be repaired but would have to be returned to Tecno.
This is brand New Phone,Purchased with just only 20days use and still under warranty.
Day 15 and still counting,there has been no contact from any of their representatives.
Maybe their Customer Care Lines are just formalities as my calls keeps ringing with no one to answer.
It wont be funny if am eventually back in Lagos and I meet Cock and Bull Story.
See attached Tecno PhonePad7II below

#RefundOrReplaceMyPad.

At least you agree there will be a war of armaggedon before your new system comes. But your governing body member said he will be beside Jesus killing the non jws and satan during armageddon. Or he will he be an angel too? That means he will go to heaven and become an angel. I thought all of you were to wake up in paradise?

Jesus and angels versus satan and demons and Satan's supporters on earth. What of Jesus supporters on earth? Dis war field is even bias. Satan, demons, and Satan's supporters on earth on one side then on the other side only Jesus and angels. What of Jesus supporters? You people even want Jesus to do the dirty job of killing satan, demons and his supporters

Always tell people that the Satan's supporters are non jws even children of non jws, people who are considered apostates by jws and people who have never heard of jws in their life.

When you tell people hellfire is a bad teaching and how God is a loving God imagine children and people burning always let them know that your jehovah will commit mass genocide in armageddon. Tell them that he will kill non jws and their children just because even people who have never heard about him they refused to pay allegiance to watchtower organisation.

Don't throw stones if you live in glass houses.
Your the one throwing stones...Just look at my reply and compare it with what you replied.
It appears that youre confused.Am not the one to determine who are satans followers...AM NOT GOD.
To answer your question,when a war is fought there are usually survivors...Similary Those counted as righteous by GOD would Survive.AM NOT and NOBODY can decide those that would be destroyed or saved.

The aim of the war is to make all things new.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IN VIEW..
.......ponder on this
When the flood happened in Noahs day,did it spare any class even children eccepito those counted righteous?....
When Sodom and Gomorah was destroyed,did it spare any one except those counted as righteous?
...Based on what your supposed theory is,are you saying that children would be excempted from hellfire.

Youre in no position to be a moral judge.

When a cloth is dirty.You wash the dirt out and not throw away the cloth....SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN TO THIS EARTH.
DONT PLAY GOD,HE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE ALL THINGS.

Please note that the war of Arrmagedon would not be fought by humans.
its between angels led by Jesus VS Satan and bis demone and his supporters on earth.
I dont Know where you heard that the war would be fought by witnesses.

you just dodged ALL the questions.

FYI,in his dealings with the Israelite David the last human king to fight war for Jehovah and that was why he was not allowed to build the temple which his son Solomon later built.
THERE IS A PURPOSE THAT THOSE WARS SERVED=Remember,the israelite are CHOSEN

Jesus preached about hell fire to you. Jesus never mentioned grave. Abeg in grave is there unquenchable fire? Is your grave that is imaginary not the hell cos hell is mentioned in that verse. You change hell to mean grave in your head and call hell with unquenchable fire . Is there an unquenchable fire in your grave.

Thank God the phrase before two hands said crippled. Do people go on to afterlife with certain parts of their body?
Jesus did not preach hell fire.Yes in that context on most bible translation you might see "HELL FIRE"in some,this is a deliberate misinformation and misinterpretation of bible translation.
Jesus mention HELL in that context.
Hell,Haides(Greek word),sheol(Hebrew word) all mean the same thing---GRAVE
When did the teaching of hell fire started?
Do good people go to hell fire?
Don't you think that it is unfare and cruel that God did not warn the first couple ADAM and EVE that their disobedience would cause their death and they would be thrown in HELLFIRE?

ANSWER

1[i])Depiction of hell portrayed in Catholic churches in italy has ETRUSCAN ROOTS-
google up--LA CIVILLA ETRUSCA(MILAN 1979),WERNER KELLER,PAGES 389.
ALSO read the ENCYCLOPEDIA AMERICANA (1957,vol.xiv,pages 81). . .PLEASE READ UP.[/i]
TRANSLATORS HAVE ALLOWED THEIR PERSONAL BELIEF TO COLOR THEIR WORK
2)Hell and NOT Hellfire means GRAVE,and righteous people to go there.no wonder job stated that he wants to go to hell(job 14:13)
At Acts 2:25-27...David spoke about Jesus..(Please Read up as he also mention hell)You can as well read REV 20:13,14(he'll delivered those dead before they were judged
.
3)God told Adam,not to eat the forbidden fruit..he said they would die...for dust they were and to dust they would return...
Don't you think he ought to have said that they would go to hell fire and they would burn for eternity?for them to know how serious their disobeying would be?HE MUST BE A CRUEL GOD,DON'T YOU THINK?
SEE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS FURTHER ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE DEAD...
READ--ECCLESIASTICS 9:5,10
PSALM--146:4
EZEKIEL--18:4..etc.
There is hell but there's no HELLFIRE.
AT DEATH,MAN RETURNS TO DUST

I am really surprised and dismayed from the response I see from Nairalander regarding the answer to this question cos it is a reflection of inability of average science student to correctly analysis a simple scientific phenomena .I weep for future of science and technology in this country
Answers:
For current to flow between two points along a conductor ,potential difference must exist e.g Live and neutral (220v and 0v).
The bird on the sitting on the power line is touching points that have the same potential difference(same voltage) on the line so current cannot pass through it. For the bird to get electrocuted ,the other part of it body must touch lower potential part of the line eg Earth or ,neutral line .
This is a principle of potential difference .
Am really surprised you'll speak like that...it's very insultive.
Yes,you may know the answer because that's your field.you need to understand that it might not be others and that does not make them illiterate.Instead of you to simply explain in common terms that others might understand:you're displaying I.T.K
SIMPLY PUT,Birds don't get electrocuted because there is no potential difference.MEANING:Difference in energy.
Before something or someone can be electrocuted...current must pass through from a source to a conductor (which can be cable,man,anything) then to the earth.That would be a complete path for current to pass through.
1)The bird lands on the cable with its legs at the same time.If done otherwise the bird would be electrocuted...as the difference between landing with leg1 and leg2 would cause p.d
2)The bird is standing alone and it's upright,thus current cannot easily flow from down to up...that is why bats do get roasted as current tends to flow easily downwards due to gravitational force
3)The bird is standing on the same wire..it has the same flow of current with no potential difference...if it's across two wires...that is suicidal.

So for 66 years you are saying God allowed the wrong things to be preached. Hmmmmmm. Since it was nathan knorr that made the law by his own assessment the others died in error. Thank God you said eating animal flesh with its own blood not blood transfusion.
...
You make it looks as if all that opted in to be transfussed get saved and survived.
Can you serve in the army?
IF YES, when opportunity arises,would you kill to defend the honour of your country?...IF YES..
Can you die for and defending your country?
.
Of course,many today in the force willingly surrender and die to defend their country in wars that is even created by their leaders,governor and presidents.They did not die as a result of upholding God's law.[i]BESIDES,there leaders cannot give them life again.[/i]YET,these ones are seen as heroes,as honorable.

When individuals try to abide to clear principles found in God's word Knowing fully well that even when he dies there is hope for resurrection.YOU CALLED THAT GENOCIDE.
If Jehovah's witness beliefs are all wrong based on the principle they follow in the bible.THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THOSE THAT ARE DOING THINGS RIGHT BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF THE BIBLE and not man made philosophies.
These include other matters...birthdays,Christmas,Hellfire etc.
I have compared all doctrines and I can see that it's only Jehovah's Witnesses that are different.
THAT ALONE SHOULD MAKE YOU CURIOUS.

ONE ANSWER...
HEB 9:11-14,22.....READ THAT PLEASE.
From the onset,
When blood is mentioned,forgiveness of sins follows.
It started with animal sacrifices under the mosaic law,however these only foreshadowed the ONE SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
EPH1:7-"BY MEANS OF HIM (JESUS CHRIST)WE HAVE THE RELEASE BY RANSOM THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THAT ONE....."
Little wonder why Jehovah values blood.it's very significant

There is no direct command to abstain from blood transfusion. The command is made to only Gentile how come?

Where is the command to accept autologous blood transfusion?
Why do we treat malaria or typhoid the way it's treated now and not like the 1st century Christians.It's simple,biological and scientific advancement is key..
When that instruction was given,then Israelite even the Jews and gentile never knew that there's fractions of blood.
Jehovah knew,however he choose to explain in terms they would understand.HE SAID BLOOD and not blood fractions.
It would be totally wrong for anyone to conclude or assume that JEHOVAH could have meant BLOOD FRACTIONS and blood as it were.
HE ALONE CAN ANSWER THAT,IT WOULD BE WRONG TO ASSUME WHAT IT IS.Bearing in mind that he #created us,he knows how we are formed but he choose to say"ABSTAIN FROM BLOOD...and not abstain from fractions

First and foremost no doctor will ask you to take alcohol iv. If iv alcohol was used for any treatment a doctor will prescribe it but it isn't use. Alcohol dosent even change effect when given iv or taken orally.

Blood eaten will not and never have thesame effect as blood transfusion. Stop making those your watchtower analysis fool of fallacy so alcohol iv and blood transfusion are now thesame thing

Yes flee or abstain from blood. Don't accept autologous blood transfusion and come and tell me blood transfusion is bad apostle Paul said abstain from blood and Nathan knorr in 1945 said abstain from blood transfusion so it's biblical but we can accept autologous blood transfusion since the name is now bloodless surgery because it is biblical. Or I am a hemophiliac jw I can accept factor 8 and 9 gotten from blood donated by others because the bible said I can break blood down and accept it when it is broken down or I can take albumin gotten from plasma of blood of others or immunoglobulins gotten from blood of other people because is broken down. Bible says we can take small fractions but not take larger fractions of blood because it is a sin apostle Paul said abstain from blood and Nathan knorr thousands of years later ie in 1945 said so.

You people even have fractions of blood you can accept nowadays. Hypocrites
Either you eat blood by cooking,or you transfuse blood or you eat strangled animals..the point is doing any of that expressly means you have that in your system...you've eaten/taken blood.
Gen9:3,4...it's blood,YOU MUST NOT EAT
All your explanation is based on technicalities,it's watering down a direct command..
For direct command,it's a NO
Yes,there was no direct command with regards to blood fractions.Thus,Not everybody accepts these blood fractions you mentioned based on individual bible trained conscience.
If for example I would have a troubled conscience for taking a platelet,I would rather abstain and refuse than to take the platelet bearing in mind that there's no biblical command to refuse or accept it.

If u injure urself & bleed, u r also guilty.
Sir,you've missed the point.
Jehovah values blood...it's precious to him.
No wonder he commanded that animals killed must have its blood poured to the ground...of course it's impossible to entirely drain all the animals blood out,however pouring out the blood means you show respect for the Supreme ruler and giver of life JEHOVAH..leveticus 17:13-16
Abstinence in this regard refer to shun/reject eating blood (Involves cannibalism),refuse whole blood transfusions,or eat unbledded or strangled animals...IT SHOULDN'T BE IN YOUR SYSTEM NO MATTER THE FORM IT MIGHT BE

What a fine analysis sir,
Let's make it more practical,suppose I have a medical condition say diabetes,I was treated by the doctor and the doctor severely warned me not to drink alcohol.
Well on getting home I asked someone to infuse and transfuse alcohol in me.
WOULD YOU SAY THAT HAVE FOLLOWED THE DOCTORS ADVICE?
WOULD YOU SAY THAT HAVE NOT DRINK ANY ALCOHOL?
Irrespective of the way used,the point is:I have alcohol in my system.
SAME THING CAN BE SAID OF BLOOD
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS...ABSTAIN(FLEE)FROM BLOOD-ACT 15:29

Originalsly:
Not a JW..... but the Bible does not support blood transfusion.... blood is life..... the same why the blood of animals should be drained before eating the meat. I guess it's OK to store your own blood and reuse in a transfusion....but not the blood of another person. What I don't understand with JWs is they are against blood transfusion but support organ transplant..... when organ transplant cannot take place without blood transfusion.
@topic.... Russia is a secular state.... like China... so forget about religion/organisation... no difference. I guess if the JWs met at their place of worship... no problem.... but fanning out and going from door to door... peeking in people's homes.... nooooo..... more like a spy network.... that's not happening!
I specifically choose to comment on your post after reading many post because there's is a difference between explanation that could only look argumentative,and explanation for clarification.....
The bible gave a clear command Gen 9:3,4"Only flesh with his soul...it's BLOOD,you must not eat".For express blood transfusion,I do not take as there is a clear command in this regard.
However,There has been scientific and biological advancement:blood can now be broken to
1.Red blood Cell
2.White blood Cell
3.Blood Platelet Tec
Inasmuch as its not biblically stated to avoid any of its component,individual have a choice to choose what it's conscience allow as deem fit.
Also,there has been medical advancement on how issues of blood is treated.Time and space maynot allow me to type all that now.WHY NOT ASK A WITNESS.It would be fully explained.
THERE'S IS A WIDE DISTORTED AND MISINFORMATION ABOUT WITNESSES.Ask and you'll see that what you do hear is quite different from the reality.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is Your Reaction When Jehovah Witnesses Knock On Your Door? by Drehilton(m): 2:15pm On Jun 05, 2016
Who are Jehovah's Witness?
CONSIDER THIS!!!!!
How can ‘the road to life’ be found? Jesus said that the true religion would be evident in the lives of the people who practice it. “By their fruits you will recognize them,” he said. “Every good tree produces fine fruit.” (Matthew 7:16, 17) In other words, those who practice the true religion would be recognized by their beliefs and their conduct. Although they are not perfect and they make mistakes, true worshippers as a group seek to do God’s will.
(1)God's servants based their teaching on the Bible.
Jesus Christ set the proper example by basing his teachings on God’s Word. In prayer to his heavenly Father, he said: “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) Jesus believed the Word of God, and everything he taught harmonized with the Scriptures. Jesus often said: “It is written.” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10) Then Jesus would quote a scripture. Similarly, God’s people today do not teach their own ideas. They believe that the Bible is God’s Word, and they base their teachings firmly on what it says.

(2)Those who practice the true religion worship only Jehovah and make his name known. Jesus declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matthew 4:10) Thus, God’s servants worship no one other than Jehovah. This worship includes letting people know what the name of the true God is and what he is like. Psalm 83:18 states: “You, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.” Jesus set the pattern in helping others to get to know God, as he said in prayer: “I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world.” (John 17:6) Similarly, true worshippers today teach others about God’s name, his purposes, and his qualities.

(3)God’s people show genuine, unselfish love for one another. Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) The early Christians had such love for one another. Godly love overcomes racial, social, and national barriers and draws people together in an unbreakable bond of true brotherhood. (Read Colossians 3:14.) Members of false religions do not have such a loving brotherhood. How do we know that? They kill one another because of national or ethnic differences. True Christians do not take up weapons to kill their Christian brothers or anyone else. The Bible states: “The children of God and the children of the Devil are evident by this fact: Whoever does not practice righteousness does not originate with God, nor does the one who does not love his brother. . . . We should love one another; not like Cain, who originated with the wicked one and slaughtered his brother.”—1 John 3:10-12; 4:20, 21.

(4)True Christians accept Jesus Christ as God’s means of salvation. The Bible says: “There is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.” (Acts 4:12)In addition, Jesus is God’s appointed King in the heavenly Kingdom that will rule the entire earth. And God requires that we obey Jesus and apply his teachings if we want everlasting life. That is why the Bible states: “The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; the one who disobeys the Son will not see life.”—John 3:36.

(5)True worshippers are no part of the world. When on trial before the Roman ruler Pilate, Jesus said: “My Kingdom is no part of this world.” (John 18:36) No matter what country they live in, Jesus’ true followers are subjects of his heavenly Kingdom and thus maintain strict neutrality in the world’s political affairs. They take no part in its conflicts. However, Jehovah’s worshippers do not interfere with what others choose to do about joining a political party, running for office, or voting. And while God’s true worshippers are neutral regarding politics, they are law-abiding. Why? Because God’s Word commands them to “be in subjection” to the governmental “superior authorities.” (Romans 13:1) Where there is a conflict between what God requires and what a political system requires, true worshippers follow the example of the apostles, who said: “We must obey God as ruler rather than men.”—Acts 5:29; Mark 12:17.13

(6)Jesus’ true followers preach that God’s Kingdom is mankind’s only hope. Jesus foretold: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14) Instead of encouraging people to look to human rulers to solve their problems, true followers of Jesus Christ proclaim God’s heavenly Kingdom as the only hope for mankind. (Psalm 146:3) Jesus taught us to pray for that perfect government when he said: “Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.” (Matthew 6:10) God’s Word foretold that this heavenly Kingdom “will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms [now existing], and it alone will stand forever.”—Daniel 2:44; Revelation 16:14; 19:19-21.

On the basis of what we have just considered, ask yourself: ‘What religious group bases all its teachings on the Bible and makes known Jehovah’s name? What group practices godly love, exercises faith in Jesus, is no part of the world, and proclaims that God’s Kingdom is the only real hope for mankind? Of all the religious groups on earth, which one meets all these requirements?’ The facts clearly show that it is Jehovah’s Witnesses.—Read Isaiah 43:10-12.
