Why do you cut off where you are exposed?

By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Matthew 7:16-18

Here is obvious fruit that JWs produced:



Can you point to any other group having something better?



You joined people whose faith you can't explain (crowd) to speak against those who are INNOCENTLY doing what they know is right judging them that their faith is wrong yet you can't point out any other faith you know that's performing better than them! Exodus 23:1-2

Because I've already made it clear that that particular passage is warning against your type of doctrine which does not bear the fruit of salvation.
And again all you care about is appearance and never the authenticity of your doctrines.

achorladey:
Valid point. The three friends of Job were willing to draw his poverty state to Job being evil, they were expressly cautioned and warned for not having the right knowledge to comfort Job.

Thank you!
I was about to point this out too but I wanted to be specific with the words of Jesus himself since the preacher claimed Jesus hates poverty.

Anam, Nzam, most of Anambra North

No wonder, I had to ask because I've been to Anam and I heard a particular language that I couldn't understand, I thought it was some deep deep igbo dialect.
But a lot of Anam people speak igbo too.

Who told you that only recruits are being employed?

The positions that are recruiting is just army recruits, that's why they're going around looking for youths to shore up their dwindling numbers in the front lines ( something they wouldn't have to do if they would just move those soldiers on the eastern roads and inner cities to the front lines) , they want SS and SE youths to die fighting Boko Haram terrorists that they will still end up releasing into the public as repentant terrorists, while they send Northern soldiers to the south to terrorise and extort motorists.

50 liters of diesel everyday at #1200 is
50 x 1200 x 30 = #1.8 M .

He should get a soundproof gen or and solar.

50 liters of diesel on a 20kva gen set will not serve you for a full day, at most it would take you 8-12 hrs.

Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

And it will be shot down as well.

Russia has the top 2 best air defense systems in the world. No country on earth has anything remotely similar.

Why do you think Turkey bought the S-400 despite sanctions from the US & NATO?

Lol... Who is this? The same Turkyie that has been questioning the defensive capabilities of the S-400?
On December 2021 didn't Israeli air force fly the F-35 over areas protected by s-400 and pantsir SAM in Syria and Iran backed Hezbollah in Lakatia without any hindrance or interception by the s-400.
The F-35 camo capabilities can fly over s-400 undetected.

Even Ukraine have been destroying the s-400 in great numbers since the war started and they do it with drones and cruise missiles.

Image123:
This is your problem, you don't think far or ahead. In few years again, there'll be more generals and major generals from other regions. And the natural thing is for the leadership to be chosen from among them. Then the representatives of those taking foolish decisions will stage walkouts and complain bitterly to CNN, and repeat.

No general or major general is coming from ordinary army recruite.
Let them bring the NDA down south, that's where people attain those ranks,
. you and don't know how the military works.

richmond500:
2moro, when the chief of army state comes from another region, u go complain marginalization

Lol.. no army recruite is going to be the Chief of army staff.
Let them bring the NDA down south and see if people will not join in great numbers.

The reason why the military seems to be trying to recruit more foot soldiers is because they're actually lacking man power in the fight against Boko Haram. And why won't they be lacking man power when all their Northern soldiers have been sent down to the SS and SE to terrorises the Locals with road blocks and extorting motorists on the highway and in the cities.
There's a particular army base at Bata, Aba, Abịa State and all they do is send their squires to harass and collect money from any truck with loaded goods.

But they will not waste time in sending southern recruite to north to fight Boko Haram.

DriveByKiller:
Ojukwu led Igbos astray with a stupid war that was completely unnecessary.

What was he supposed to have done? Allow his people to be slaughtered everywhere?

Ebubu:
he speaks Igbo fluently but chooses ijaw ethnic group as tribe.

Many parts of Anambra speak Igala but identify as Igbo.

Which part of Anambra speak igala?

sogodihno:
Tinubu doesn't need 5% votes, thet should give it to the Agulu fraudster

As it stands, Tinubu will only win in SW, the North have forsaken him, SS and SE will always vote the same way, and if Obi contests you best believe he's getting those votes.
If things continues this way don't be surprised if the APC Northern caucus pushes for a primary election in 2026 or they will sabotage him during the 2027 general election and enthrone a Northerner from another party.

The north are very bitter about their sidelining by the Tinubu administration and they have not been silent about it, the average Northern on the other hand are gnashing their teeths due to the economic hardship which is as a result of the policies of this administration, there's a ethnic and religious campaign against Tinubu in the north right now.

Tinubu is standing alone, the Yoruba are standing alone and I'm very surprised how they're Yet to realise that instead they keep demonising and antagonising the entire south and especially the "5 percenters" that they should be building a close alliance with. They're being blinded by their hubris

Deelaw:
So the new mission now is to scam, grab and run with whatever their hand can carry. Or how else can one explain this...

This is false! Poverty was never been attributed to Evil in any part of the bible.

In fact Jesus preached against acquiring riches here on earth and also asked a rich man to sell all his things, give away all his riches and follow him.

MaxInDHouse:
You supposed to know by now that what you are fighting is greater than the world otherwise how come you can't walk away after saying:



Well if you think this is all about joining people you don't know to speak against a group for no tangible reason remember God's word found @ Exodus 23:1-2

Your salvation depends on what you will do with that verse and this:

Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine. 1Thessalonians 5:21

We're speaking against the false doctrines that is being propagated by your group.
It is false and misleading and most be called out to save others from falling into it.

Mathew 7;15
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

Exodus 23;1-2 is talking about bearing false witness against the innocent. Again I don't think you understand the context of these verses that you quote.

Janosky:

Oga,Did Jesus Christ you claim to follow, worship 3 deities?
How many beings did God's people worship in the old testament?

Matthew 4:10 & John 4:24, Did Jesus Christ change that standard?

John 10: 27-30

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

God and Jesus are one and the same .

"How many beings did God's people worship in the old testament?"
Mathew 22; 41-46

41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”

“The son of David,” they replied.

43 He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says,

44 “‘The Lord said to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies
under your feet.”’[e]

45 If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” 46 No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Both are not mutually exclusive.

Yes but those immigrants were of European origin

One of their former Governing Body member that was eventually forced out through every means they can conjure said......



The man sabi dem well well

The man is spot on about what they really are.

Gabrielshow24:
Absolutely, my brother! He seems indifferent to whether his claims hold any truth; his primary concern lies in appealing to his fans. It’s reminiscent of a model who seeks validation through provocative means, disregarding the consequences of going unclad. Just as celebrities often resort to outrageous stunts to capture attention, he prioritizes popularity over logical coherence.
In a world where sensationalism often trumps substance, it’s disheartening to see someone so willing to sacrifice integrity for fleeting applause. Ultimately, it’s a shallow pursuit that leaves little room for genuine discourse.

Yeah, truth and authenticity is never their strong point, they only focus on appearance and public perception. That's why they shy away from genuine discussion or debate, you can see that the only thing he does is quote one verse line, give a concocted interpretation of that verse - which reveals how fundamentally lacking they are in the understanding of the scriptures - and then refuses to elaborate but will keep repeating himself over and over again even when you dismantle his "argument". They believe that a lie said a thousand times will eventually become truth.

MaxInDHouse:
So throughout the world only Jehovah's Witnesses have been trained to pretend with fine conduct, shey?

How come their pretext has worked out so perfectly that no other comes closer in conduct and transparency when talking about monetary matters?

Ọmọ no matter the epistle you type can discard what Jesus said:

"a bad tree cannot bear good fruit" Matthew 7:17

That's the ultimate truth!

Yes a bad three can not bare fruit and your doctrine is of a bad fruit and it can't bare the fruit of salvation. That's what we're talking about here.
JW is a product of Arianism which preaches a very fake and wrong doctrine . That verse you quoted is actually a warning against your type of doctrine.

You can see that the only thing you focus on is how people see you in public rather than how wrong your doctrine is. This further proves what we're talking about concerning the JW

achorladey:
And they hate it when they are rejected or exposed for what they really are.

Theirs is a false doctrine that was derived from Arianism. It was because of their fake doctrines that the early church fathers had to convene the council of Niceae to decide the true Nature of Christ and to begin the collation of the scriptures into a single book (Bible).

You can read about them here
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism#:~:text=Arian%20theology%20holds%20that%20Jesus,began%20to%20exist%20outside%20time.

JW are propagators of fake and unscriptural doctrines.

MaxInDHouse:
JEHOVAH!

You called something FAKE yet it yielded positive results!

So according to you:
"a tree is bad but it is bears good fruit"

You must be wiser than Jesus who said:

By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. Matthew 7:16-17

A group of few men gathered millions of people from different countries around the world and after training them they are of good conduct yet you say what they taught them is WRONG?

Ọmọ you need deliverance o!

I don't think you understand what that verse is talking about.
Your case would be like that of the people who do things in public so that they would be praised by people.
Matthew chapter 6 verse 1.
Make certain you do not perform your religious duties in public so that people will see what you do. If you do these things publicly, you will not have any rewards from your father in heaven".

And also the doctrines that you follow does not bear good fruit rather it produces wrong interpretation of the word of God and may lead people astray.
There are a lot of wrong teachings in your doctrine which are what people are pointing out and you people publicly conduct yourselves in a way that seemed civil and good in other to propagate those false teachings and Jesus has this to say about that behaviour

"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."

Matthew 7: 21-23.

MaxInDHouse:
At least our fine works have successfully DECEIVED APOSTOSIS through the FRUIT Jesus talk about {Matthew 7:16-18} and many are of the opinion that he is saying the truth:

I'm talking about your fake doctrines not how you conduct yourself while delivering them

achorladey:
What can I do here but loooool!

To me you strike the main part of the delusion that keeps recycling itself in that religious organization which is God chose a religious organization that came into the scene in late 1800 peddling all sorts of lies about the second coming of Jesus Christ as the only religious organization anyone on earth must be a member of to gain salvation

It gets more hilarious the more you dive into it. Russell and his JW believe in the concept of restitution, that all humankind since Adam would be resurrected to earth and given the opportunity to eternal life on earth.

The fact that they believe that they're the only Christian sect through which one would attain salvation truly speaks to the high level delusion going on there. I used to be a bit more diplomatic when I engage them in a debate but these days I just outright rebuke them and call them out in their ignorance.

Gabrielshow24:
Those are the kind of people he looks for, so that he can end up posting their quotes as some kind of trophy.

He is so delirious 😂! Using appeal to people (Argumentum ad populum) to prove Truth is so basic🤕!

Exactly, but who's going to tell him that popularity doesn't imply truth and that you will need evidence, scriptural evidence to back up such opinions or doctrines?

When you check his argument you will see that he lacks critical thinking and the ability to comprehend what he's reading. He only quote one line of a verse and claim that it means something completely different from what that verse or entire chapter is talking about.

He can succeed in deceiving the ignorant ones, and we have them in abundance so congrats to him,

achorladey:
That's why when some hail them, I smh. Jehovah's witnesses can give you the kind of face they want you to see. It is what they are being trained to do week in week out. All those religious publications are not just scriptural stuff. They are blended with different kind of scenarios people out there will seek and how they are expected to perform

They are very good at manipulating content and context of scriptures. For example their stance on Birthday celebrations. Those two accounts regarding Pharoah and Herod didn't come with the background of whether birthday celebrations is good or bad or the background of those celebrating. They just first cook their own doctrine about it and then make people read their own context about it.

Sometimes when I read those publications I wonder whether these people have ever read the bible or just going by vibes. and outlandish doctrines. Most times I read it just for the laughs.

The way they twist and interpret the bible, even the most simplest and straightforward passages can be really hilarious. As in their founding father Charles Taze Russell believe that Christ second coming happened in 1874
And you want me to take your doctrine serious?
Anyway I still have fond memories of their [b]my book of bible story[b]

achorladey:
He wants to equate salvation with worship and then force you to accept it as the truth because you know they believe no one out there has the correct interpretation and understanding of the Bible outside of their so called Jehovah's organization organization.

He just wants to keep rolling into his lies and manipulations filled into that his brains.

He can only do that with gullible and ignorant people, not with me. He just quotes verses without understanding what that verse is talking about and its context.

ProudlyLagos:
leave those ipob clowns…..always shouting of per capita when they release that stats also, they will always be at the bottom of the ladder, always looking for ways to discredit every stats just because it doesn’t favour them

I believe you may have misunderstood my comment here.

And can you people stop all these bigotry and tribalism on this nairaland? There are better things to do with your lives than waste it on useless and unproductive things.

MaxInDHouse:
If you're not stupid you should have noted that Jesus emphasized several times on the importance of worship in the temple.
He never prayed with anyone unless those that accepts his teachings! John 17:8-9
He refer to gentiles as "dogs" Matthew 15:24
He told his disciples to go only to Jews! Matthew 10:6
He chose only Jews as Apostles! Matthew 10:2; Luke 6:13

So all you need to ask is WHY?
Not insulting someone who knows better than you do simply because you see some doing the same!


I explained that it was after his earthly mission and ascension to heaven that his disciples began preaching to gentiles but if you feel you have an idea please quote a verse where Jesus purposely preached to a gentile.



Obviously you don't know the difference between WORSHIP and HELPING others.
For your information if you see a beggar on your way to work and gave him what you have to assist him does that mean you are worshiping with the malam?

Jesus has the power to heal and he used it doesn't mean he is worshiping at that spot with those he helped o!

This should be the last time I'm going to reply to your ignorance.

Jesus never emphasized on the importance of worshipping in the temple, he worshipped God several times outside the Temple e.g During the Last supper, During the miracles of the bread and fishes. In fact he actually told his disciples to not glorify the temple because a time would come when it would be destroyed and never rebuild again.

"He never prayed with anyone unless those that accepts his teachings! John 17:8-9"
And what exactly does this have to do with anything? Of course he will pray with anyone who accepts his teachings, gentile or Jew. What's the need in praying someone who rejects you?
You have no point at all, you're just quoting bible verses without any context or understanding... Like a typical ignorant fellow.

"He refer to gentiles as "dogs" Matthew 15:24"
You also lack the understanding of figures of speech. He used a relatable analogy to explain his mission, that doesn't mean he refers to gentile as dogs. THIS just completely shows that you are here to Push some agenda and not debating in good faith.

"He told his disciples to go only to Jews! Matthew 10:6"
Because the salvation work needs to start with them! They're the ones who had a covenant with God so they're the ones that should first get the upgrade of that covenant before anyone else. I have explained this before but you seem to only read selectively.

"He chose only Jews as Apostles! Matthew 10:2; Luke 6:13"
Again with stupid and out of context quoting of verses. Was he supposed to choose disciples from gentiles who worship a different god? People who don't understand the teachings of the prophets?

"Not insulting someone who knows better than you do simply because you see some doing the same!"

Abeg you don't know anything and it's become obvious what your agenda here is. You don't even try to counter my points, all you do is double down on your ignorant and half baked understanding of the bible and quote verses you don't even understand without any context. It rats you out as a mischievous person. And I've lost patience with your kind, nowadays once I detect it I call you out on your nonsense! Jesus said to not debate with Fools and to rebuke any bad spirit.

"
I explained that it was after his earthly mission and ascension to heaven that his disciples began preaching to gentiles but if you feel you have an idea please quote a verse where Jesus purposely preached to a gentile."

The Samaritan woman is what? Is she a Jew?
Didn't he also preach in Samaritan Towns?
Jesus specifically went to the land of the Gentile Gadarenes or Gerasenes, east of the Sea of Galilee, to minister to them. This was where Jesus sent the demons into the pigs and it appears in all three synoptic Gospels (Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39; Matthew 8:28-34).

Also check out this passage:
Matthew 12:17-18, 20-21 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: [18] “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles. . . . [20] he will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick, till he brings justice to victory; [21] and in his name will the Gentiles hope.”
Another example is Jesus telling the Jewish “chief priests and scribes” (Matthew 21:15) and “Pharisees” (21:45) that righteous Gentiles will enter the kingdom before self-righteous Jews (like them):

Matthew 21:42-43, 45 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the scriptures: `The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? [43] Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.” [45] When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them.

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come. (cf. Mark 13:10; Luke 24:47)


All these are times when Jesus showed inclusivity in his salvation work
