Tolutheo:

Are you sure you remain the happiest people on earth truly? have you bothered to check if this decision is wise enough without pressing charges? Maybe i should pray one of your biological child would expereince such so that you can know better how an accused is viewed as innocent while he had injured the psychological well being of your child. Again, your child sees him everyday during meetings and the Post traumatic stress disorder comes up through sight of him. You guys dont know what it means for an authorized person to handle a case instead of an elder who knows nothing about the psychology behind abuse. Australia Royal Commission exposed the JW 1007 cases of unreported abuse cases and you stand there saying you guys are the most happiest people on earth. Your religion is built around FEAR. Fear to hear the truth against your faith, fear not to be disfellowshipped because shunning policy follows. They will lose their loved ones once they go against organizational rules.

TATIME:
When someone sincere and honest hearted comes on board to learn about JWs i'll surface but as for you Hairyrapunzel go get yourself a plate of catfish and Guilder for relaxation and stop killing yourself because of your jealousy,hatred and envy towards Jehovah's Witnesses. For your information we remain the happiest group globally of all times since the nineteenth century so stop waisting your time,energy and data.

In an Awake! magazine edition (6/2008), a letter in the From Our Readers section reads:

“Much of what you say [in the February 2007 edition] is true … there are however, two issues in your magazine that makes me uncomfortable. One is how you put the Christian churches down, and the other is the way you seem to lift yourselves up above the rest. It would be wonderful if we all agreed and were of one faith … I don’t consider any one church or denomination better than the other.”

Though this writer was able to detect the anti-Christian militant spirit that permeates Watchtower writings, he doesn’t seem to be informed about the beliefs of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. He thinks JWs and the Christian churches should “agree” and be “of one faith” since JWs are supposedly another “denomination.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses actually believe they alone are worshipping God on earth while all others are part of “Babylon the Great,” the world empire of false religion serving Satan which will be destroyed at Armageddon.

That February edition of Awake! referred to in the above letter was titled “Is Religion Losing its Influence?” Its cover had a picture of a church about to sink in a sea.

In it they state (like in most of their materials), that all churches produce the fruits of “counterfeit Christianity which the Devil planted” but “True Christians [i.e Jehovah’s Witnesses] are separated out from the ‘weeds’ of Christendom. Jehovah’s Witnesses are ‘shinning as brightly as the sun’ helping others to know the true God, Jehovah” (p. 9).

In What Does God Require of Us? they state: “Jesus started one true Christian religion. So today there must be just one body, or group, of true worshipers of Jehovah God” (p. 26)

Witnesses claim they are true Christians because they alone are perfectly united in the same mind and beliefs, unlike the “conflicting religions of Christendom.” One of the Bible verses they quote is 1 Cor. 1:10 “Now I exhort you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you should all speak in agreement, and that there should not be divisions among you, but that you may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought” (NWT).

The context of 1 Corinthians was an admonition to the Corinthian Christians who were divided into four factions – Paul, Apollos, Cephas and Christ. Each faction was acting antagonistic to the other three. This can be seen reading 1st Corinthians 1:12-12 and 3:3-7.

Paul emphasized that “But of him are ye in Christ” (1 Cor. 1:30) “ye are Christ’s and Christ is God’s” (3:23), meaning that all believers are to be united in Christ – not in a human teacher or “a one true religion.” It’s important to note that in spite of these divisions, Paul the Apostle still believed the Corinthians were true Christians.

1 Corinthians 1:2-3 “to the congregation of God that is in Corinth, to you who have been sanctified in union with Christ Jesus, called to be holy ones, together with all those everywhere who are calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

A lack of unity didn’t mean that the Corinthian Christians were “bags of weeds” to be destroyed by God. Rather, such divisions implied they were “babes in Christ” and “carnal” (1 Cor. 3:1, 3)

The Watchtower argument that Christian churches are of the Devil because they are not perfectly united is out of touch with Biblical teaching. Nowhere in these passages or elsewhere in Scripture are we commanded to render an unquestionable obedience to an organization. Nowhere does the Bible teaches that unity is attained by submitting to a religious group.

JWs have a list of criteria we should use to identify the true religion. According to them:

“Those who worship the true God base their teachings on the Bible … worship only Jehovah and make his name known… show genuine love for one another … accept Jesus as God’s means of salvation…are no part of the world … They take no part in [the world’s] conflicts … preach God’s Kingdom as man’s only hope. Of all the religious groups on earth, which one meets all these requirements?” (What Does the Bible Really Teach? 2005, 146-151)

These criteria are self-serving and circular. Any religion can make up its own criteria of a true religion, add some Bible verses to them and declare itself as the only religion meeting up with its own standards! Besides, JWs are not the only ones who meet the above. There are other religious sects that believe the same things they believe. For example:

1. Christadelphians

“[They] reject the Trinity. They believe in one supreme God … in eternal punishment of the wicked, but not in eternal torment; in hell, not as a place of torment, but as the grave; in resurrection of the just and unjust; in the utter annihilation of the wicked … Christadelphians take no part in politics, voting or military service” (The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions, 1997, 216).

2. Assemblies of the Called Out Ones of Yahweh.

[They] follow the main ideas of the Sacred Name Movement and are very clear in their rejection of both the Trinitarian position and the ‘Oneness’ or ‘Jesus Only’ position of some Pentecostals … Members of the assemblies refrain from military duty … [they believe] the Called Out Ones of Yah consists of the great multitude (which no one can number) from all nations being called out by Yah from all Babylonish religions to serve with Yeshua in the coming kingdom” (Encyclopedia of American Religions, 5th edition, 1996, 528).

3. Assemblies of Yahweh

“The Assemblies also publishes its own version of the Sacred Scriptures … [they teach] the necessity of believers’ affirming the divine names Yahweh and Yahshua … A non-Trinitarian position is maintained … Nonviolence and conscientious objection to war are stressed … Affiliated assemblies are located in 50 countries around the world. The missionary thrust, both foreign and domestic is concentrated through the Sacred Name Broadcast…” (Encyclopedia of American Religions, 529).

4. Assembly of YHWHHOSHUA

[These believe] the true revealed Name of the Almighty is YHWH. [They also claim] the King James (KJV) and other versions of the bible; translators have mistranslated the Divine Name, YHWH into the word ‘LORD’; and ‘GOD’ instead of ‘ELOHIM’ the Hebrew title for the Supreme Being…The members of the assembly of YHWHHOSHUA are to be separate from institutions, customs, traditions, styles and carnal pleasures of the United States as well as the world. A member in no way should participate into the affairs and practices of the world…nor should he be allowed to be a government official, to be a juror, or to serve in the Armed Forces … Christmas … and any other heathen holiday are not celebrated…” (Ency. of American Religions, Vol. 2 pp. 394-400).

If one thing is clear from these few examples, it’s that several other religious groups also adhere to the doctrines/practices that JWs think are unique to them. Therefore, the idea that Jehovah’s Witnesses have the “only true” religion on earth is false. The same criteria that make them true also make others true as well. To suggest otherwise is dishonesty, incoherence and intellectual suicide.

Some JWs may respond that these sects teach additional doctrines that are not part of Watchtower teaching. But The Watchtower (February 15, 2006) says: “Jehovah is … progressively illuminating the path of his people doctrinally … As Jehovah continues to shed light on his people, the gap between them and those of the world keeps on widening” (p. 27).

So we must also hope that Jehovah will also illuminate the paths of these other religious groups as he did for JWs. As they too “walk in the path of increasing light” they too will arrive at the exact doctrines JWs embrace.

This is the claptrap logic that JWs use to excuse their own past false prophesies and doctrinal flip-flops, but what applies to them must also apply to others as well. It’s called consistency. In their Awake! magazine they state:

“A sect is a dissenting group within a religious community or one that breaks away to form a new religion. Jehovah’s Witnesses have not broken away from any church. They are not a sect” (August 2010, page 6)

Any religious group can maintain its unity by excommunicating those who deviate from its beliefs. The outcome is that only those who agree with the established dogma would remain. That would be institutional unity, which is superficial. In fact, the Watchtower Society has been plagued with divisions right from its inception.

Charles Russell broke away from the Adventists to become the leader of the “Bible Students.” If Jehovah’s organization was already in existence before then, why didn’t Russell join it, instead of starting one?

The current JWs splintered from the Bible Student Movement in 1918 when Rutherford ousted the 4 Governing Board members. These men and their supporters continued as ‘Bible Students’ and held to Russell’s teachings, while Jehovah Witnesses who got their name later on, held to Rutherford’s teachings. JWs are in fact, a sect within a sect.

The Watchtower (November 1, 2009) says: “…unlike the Protestant movement, which has splintered into hundreds of denominations, Jehovah’s Witnesses have maintained a united global brotherhood” (p. 19).

This is a shameless denial of their own history. The Bible Fellowship Union splintered from the JWs in 1945. In 1981, the Watchtower Society was shaken by a series of schism that led to a large number of people exiting the organization. This mass exodus was led by professor James Penton (one of Russell’s early converts) who insisted on justification by faith.

The True Faith Jehovah’s Witness Association in Romania broke away from the JWs in 1992. The Lord’s Witnesses was founded in Britain by Gordon Ritchie an ex-JW. The Christian Witnesses of Jah broke away from the JWs in 2007 when Greg Stafford, a JW apologist, disagreed with their stance on blood transfusion.

The God’s Kingdom Society (founded by Gideon Urhobo, a Nigerian) also broke away from the JWs. Therefore, if churches lack God’s approval because of divisions, the same must be said about the Watchtower Society.

One point missing in the criteria JWs throw around is: what it means to be a Christian. The real question isn’t supposed to be whether you have a “true religion” or not but whether you are in Christ and He is in you. Romans 3:22 says “Everyone who believes has God’s approval through faith in Jesus Christ.” This is the only way to have God’s approval. It’s not by joining “a true religion

Why are Jehovah's witness so afraid of people who have some knowledge about them and would want to stop them by calling them apostate? I did a study on that religious body by comparing them with other churches. Why being afraid of facing the truth about themselves?

Before submission, we signed an undertaken that says "I accept that our passport may spend more than 6 working days.."
My visa interview at the embassy is supposed to be on Thursday 17th January 2019. Now it is not possible.

I had to cancel the interview and pick another interview date on 24th of January 2019 to buy myself some time.

Still all to no avail cos I haven't heard anything from them.

Are you in need of God’s mercy and favour over your life, over your family, over a situation? Here are some prayer points for mercy and favour that you can use to pray.



Favour is defined as a liking, an approval, an act of kindness, a support for someone beyond what is usual or what the person deserves. It is a very bad thing to lack mercy and favour in life. This is because, there are times when some situations are beyond our control or limit, and only God’s mercy and favour can help. This kind of situations or problems can result to a life of struggles and frustration. To overcome these difficult situations in our lives, we need God’s mercy and favour.

Things you should note and do to be able to enjoy God’s mercy and favour

These are some of the things you should take note and practice so that your prayer for mercy and favour can be answered:

Stay connected to God.
Repent of any sin and from secret unholy dealings that might be a hindrance.
Decide to live in obedience to God’s word and trust God to help you with the decision
Walk in love daily.
Be a person of prayer and trust God for the grace to always pray.
Prayers for mercy and favour


Mercy and favour go hand in hand most of the time. That is why I have decided not to write the prayers for mercy separate and for favour separately. Here are twenty prayer points on mercy and favour that are powerful.

1. Lord, I thank you because my joy is multiplying as I receive unlimited favour of God in Jesus Name.



2. Lord, in whatever way that I have sinned against you and disobeyed your word and instructions, please show me mercy according to your loving kindness and forgive my sins according to your mercy that endures forever in Jesus name.

3. Lord, I seek your mercy and favour in my life, in my studies, in my business and so on (mention those areas where you want God’s mercy and favour), in Jesus name.

4. Father, by your mercy, listen to my cry and give me testimonies in Jesus name.

5. Psalms 102 verse 13 says: “You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favour her, Yes, the set time, has come. Oh Lord, arise and show me mercy, for it is time for me to experience your favour in name of Jesus.”

6. Oh Lord, I do not put my hope and trust in my strength, I put my hope and trust in your favour to bring me things in my life in Jesus name. Read Psalms 44 verse 3.

7. Lord, let your favour be evident in my life everywhere I go so that I can expand your Kingdom everywhere I step my foot on testifying to your goodness in the name of Jesus.

8. Father, please let me experience your favour wherever I go and wherever I turn in Jesus Name.

9. Oh Lord, let your mercy and favour make me stand out among my peers in the name of Jesus.

10. Father, let your favour make me be at the right place at the right time in the name of Jesus.

11. Let the favour of God upon my life, always attract the right people into my life, into my path in the name of Jesus.

12. Almighty God, by your mercy, I decree that the hand and plans of the enemy shall not prevail over my life, in the name of Jesus.

13. Oh Lord, by your mercy, let the devil not triumph over me in the name of Jesus.

14. Oh Lord, by your mercy, where others have failed, let me succeed in the name of Jesus.

15. Father, wherever the enemy has knocked me down, let your mercy lift me up and restore me, in the name of Jesus.

16. Every struggle in my life, by the mercy and favour of God, has come to an end in Jesus name.

17. Father, let the anointing of supernatural and uncommon favour rest upon my life from today in the name of Jesus.

18. I command doors of supernatural favour to open unto me from today (mention any specific area that you needs the door of favour to open unto you) in the name of Jesus.

19. Father, I pray that the lack of favour in my life comes to an end today in Jesus name.

20. Almighty God, let your favour speedily connect me with men that will help my destiny and my cause in Jesus name.

Keep these prayer points and keep praying with them daily. Pray without ceasing. May the Lord hear your prayers for mercy and favour in Jesus name. Comment if you are blessed

Please kindly tell me if this will be reasonable if my second year tuition fee is 3700 euro and the statement of account of my sponsor balance is £3500 in his account while I have 1.1m naira in my own personal account. Do I stand a good chance at the embassy? The sponsor is my blood brother ...please I will need a candid answer[quote author=yomyjoe post=49781083][/quote]

Maybe the way he had said it might be little harsh but he actually said the truth. We are always suspect when it comes to issues like this. Don't forget, our image is nothing to be proud of and every Nigerians have that responsibility to prove every white man wrong about their opinion but if we are walking along their bait trap, they easily take their decision as expected. We shouldn't forget we as Nigerians have 100 percent responsibility to prove them wrong by jettison any opportunity around us. Please let us desist from not being corrected by saying " are you a saint" .white men are not religious and not saints but they behave rightly. You don't have to be a saint before you do the right thing.

aeboiy:


Make una keep quiet and stop claiming Saint, each and every one of us will do same or are planning to do same thing if opportuned. Help the solve his problem if u can and stop castigating him. Most of us are already planning to move from Estonia to other more lucrative places, Shey na because the guy make uncalculated move?

Hello Sloye5, Please i would love to have a chat with you over turkish visa because it a country i would like to use for my lithuania embassy in Turkey. my whatsapp number is 08034158007 .thank you

sloye5:
A Nigerian citizen has been detained by Turkish police after he attempted to fraud a number of hotel owners by claiming that he could turn blank paper into U.S. dollars.

The suspect, identified as Samsoon Bello, claimed that he has a chemical solution that can turn paper into dollars, promising to provide free cash to a number of hotel owners in Istanbul in exchange for an advance fee.

Bello was actually providing fake dollars, local media reported on Aug. 10.

Following a tip, police officers nabbed Bello in Istanbul’s touristic Beyoğlu district.

Bello was conditionally released by court, pending trial.

..how many weeks does it take for a student package to arrive in Nigeria from Lithuania..
I'm still waiting for mine..

How many letters did you recieve from the school VDU? the ones i know are MEDIATION LETTER and LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Is there anyone left to recieve again?

EniTony:


Hi bruv,am planning on coming to lithanian soon,i just want to know how the country is in terms of the general acceptance by the locals,the economy?,are there possibilities of getting a job after a master degree program.
Are there Nigeria's living and working in the country and are comfortable to a good extent.
Do you think it is worth it leaving Nigeria to go to a country like luthanian.
Please reply...

Hello, please don't always lobby or beg for a country to travel to...don't sound too desperate as regards your status here. This reveals more about our socio-economic status.

Please in the name of dignity, don't plea before a foreigner on how to come over to their country. On what basis are you going there for?is through Tourism or schooling? If it's none of these options and it's mainly to struggle, I am afraid you are telling him indirectly that you wanna come through non immigrant visa which will result to you overstaying your period of stay. This is a criminal offence and don't disregard that offence because it means a lot to them. Ask if you can come through permanent residence and not visiting visa. I am sure he will not be a party to this. Please as Nigerians, we should know what we should be asking for or questions to ask.

anne710:
Good day, I'm applying to Kaunas this year has anyone successfully applied to any school in Lithuania, please share.
Thanks

Annie, did you eventually apply to any school in Kaunas? And again, where are you now?

How come we have more visa rejection of Nigerian students at Lithuania embassy in South Africa? What could have been the problem?
