Kobojunkie: There is nothing biblical about the doctrine since God never in fact gave to you(a gentile) or your JW church(a gentile group) are laws concerning blood to begin with. So please stop lying in the name of God.
LIAR. Acts 15::6-9,28-29 , the injunction against blood is for both Jews & Gentiles.
Bronzedigger: Then why did she refuse the donations from a catholic church but wanted it from a personal account...
Matthew 18:16 & Exodus 20:16, did she have this conversation with you? Did she tell you she had this alleged conversation ?
Bronzedigger: it's either she doesn't understand her doctrine and has been foolishly living by doctrines she doesn't understand or she stands to be punishedif she accepts such donations.. it means many of your followers don't understand your doctrines..maybe because they don't have direct contact with the original owners of the denomination to explain these doctrines properly.. from Pennsylvania to Nigeria to igeduma to local congregations... the doctrine has really passed through a lot of filters so when it finally lands in the local congregation..it will be like dem say dem say talk...
Your assumptions and conjunctures have no connection to the truth.
Bronzedigger: most of you JWs are now saying it's her choice to accept donations..
Yes ! The Samaritans and Jews do not see eye to eye on many levels, but did the Jew accept help from the Samaritan?
Bronzedigger: where as she vehemently stated she didn't want help from a church..
Exodus 20:16 & Matthew 18:16 dey your Bible? Did you have this conversation with the late girl?
Bronzedigger: who can only give people such standards to live by if not another denomination feeling like they are in competition with every other denomination in the world... I don't see the choice she has here... why would someone choose death over life because of a doctrine..this only happens when they are promised better and greater things to achieve like these religious terrorist groups
Bronze, your conjectures and assumptions is not fact. It has ZERO connection to the truth.
achorladey: That their set up get chains of command Legislators dey, Judiciary dey and the lower floor members bears the burden of all those [b]complex bureaucracy in place to run the organisation. The floor members are at the mercy of those given the position to interprete some of their laws, policies and regulations Ordinary [b]members don't have access to it and the numerous cluases attached. Therefore they don't really know at what point they stepped over the line paapaa.
LYING, deceptive clown. Everyone knows JWs do not participate in politics. When & where did Achorladey the Electoral Commissioner conduct elections for JEHOVAH's servants?
achorladey: . That she rejected the help offered from the Catholic Church or whatever stems from this bureaucracy in place.
When and where did Achorladey have this conversation with the dead girl?
achorladey: See this as an example.... Do you know members are given instructions on how to participate in prayer organized led by any member of other Christian denominations which is done in the name of Jesus Christ? .
Achorladey's deception knows no bounds. He deploys desperado tactics to Stoke up sentiments against JEHOVAH's servants.
Why would JEHOVAH's servants participate in prayers offered by Polytheist worshippers of 3 deities of Christendom? John 20:17, did Jesus Christ my Master worship 3 persons?
Matthew 6:9, did Jesus Christ teach Achorladey to pray to 3 deities?
achorladey: They even state clearly why they are not to say AMEN to such prayers when organized even if they call JESUS One million times [s]Should they stand or sit when such prayer is going on?
These are the bureaucratic policies and agenda passed to members on which members are always in a DILEMMA to follow such as cases like this thread. [/s] [s]Their conscience had been regimented by the powers that be long before those life threatening situations occur. Most of the time they are in a FIX about what they are really expected to do because those JUDICIARY(the elders in their midst are limited educationally and otherwise to really handle most of the policies they carry about[/s].
Ephesians 3:14-21 in your Bible, Achorladey deceptive man, how many "million times" did Paul say "AMEN" to end his prayer through Jesus Christ?
Kobojunkie: Go back through my previous post and read to understand what was written before responding All those who belong to God , to this very day, are those who are taught directly by God Himself, not by men or mogs.
As for the source of Paul's inspiration, I haven't said a thing about him being inspired by the devil. Instead, i have tried to put it to you that it matters for not what he was inspired by this since we are not call to trust and obey the words of Paul, but instead the Words of Jesus Christ, the one who is God's Law in the Kingdom of God.
oteneaaron: I personally don't give a damn about any other religion that has cases of sexual child abuse in court.
After all, I have realized say na the same motor carry all of una - JW and every other religion of Christendom.
You claimed "na the same motor carry all", therefore it's your bigotry & hypocrisy makes you to "give a damn" and focus only on alleged case of abuse by JWs. Just continue DECEIVING yourself
oteneaaron: But I am focused on the JW because, ever since I was young, I have always strongly believed that the organization was the one and only true religion.
And when a religion claims to be the only truth, then falsehood should never be found in it's midst.
This is simple logic.
Matthew 26:31-35, when the disciples FALSEHOOD was exposed,are they still servants of JEHOVAH God? 1 Samuel 3:20 &1 Samuel 16:6, when Prophet Samuel's FALSEHOOD was exposed,is he still JEHOVAH's prophet?
oteneaaron: So imagine my horror when I saw that even the JW organization is also been investigated for sexual child abuse with over 1000 cases.
And mind you, this is just Australia!
This indirectly means the same thing is happening in other countries too.
So what are we saying?
Luke 24:19-25,Like Samuel,, king David, like the disciples, like JWs today, do you get it? Monkey no fine,him Mama & Papa love am.
oteneaaron: Well if he may wave it off, but there are many others who won't.
This court case brings up so many questions.
What broke my heart the most was watching a video of Geoffrey Jackson during the court session lying under oath!
No,he did not lie.
oteneaaron: Ever since the 2012 WT article where the new light was announced that the GB is now the Faithful and Discreet Slave, this meant that they ARE THE ONLY DIRECT CHANNEL to God.
Everyone else makes the same claim. Read through their threads and posts. "My mama soup sweet pass" ,na our Governing Body be the only true channel to the God of Jesus Christ. Is their Polytheists deities the God of JEHOVAH'S servants? Why bother about what JWs said?
oteneaaron: But when Goeffery Jackson - a member of the GB was asked the same question, he lied in his answer!
Angus Stewart - the lawyer asked him this blunt question: “Do you see yourselves as Jehovah God’s spokespeople on earth?”
Geoffrey Jackson answered:
“That I think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that God is using.
The scriptures clearly show that someone can act in harmony with God’s spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations, but if I could just clarify a little, going back to Matthew 24, clearly, Jesus said that in the last days ‐ and Jehovah’s Witnesses believe these are the last days ‐ there would be a slave, a group of persons who would have responsibility to care for the spiritual food.
So in that respect, we view ourselves as trying to fulfill that role.”
You may think I am lying, but here is a snippet from his statement:
The full video of the court case is available on YouTube.
Context !!!!
Questions for oteneaaron'; 1. Who is "that someone can act in harmony with God's spirit in giving comfort and help in the congregations"?
2. What is "the congregations" that Geoffrey Jackson references?
3. Is it Trinity worshipping Christendom he references?
4. Is "that someone" a Polytheist 3 deities worshipper ? No !
5. Who are "the slave/Group of persons" in Matthew 24 that Mr Geoffrey Jackson references?
6. Who did Geoffrey Jackson references as "fulfilling that role"?
I repeat, Mr Geoffrey Jackson spoke the same truth. He never lied. My Brother, Geoffrey Jackson was well prepared for that smart lawyer.
I have answered Question 4 for you. You have to think deeply and understand what he says. But apostates sold you a dummy cocktail of lies, well repackaged.
Dynmyt: Do you follow paul or Jesus Christ... I thought its only the way and exemplary life of Jesus you follow.
1 Corinthians 11: Paul was inspired to write: "Imitate me as I imitate Jesus" Romans 15:4 and Hebrews 11:1-39, imitate the faith of Jehovah's servants
Bros, the holy scriptures is NOT in your thoughts .
Dynmyt: Dynmyt 2nd statement... "I thought...." When you expose their trickery, they always find another excuse to promote their selfishness. No wonder person talk say dem no dey back down on argument. Am taking my morning coffee now and have very limited time to trade words with people indoctrinated with hate and hypocrisy.
Dynmyt False claims and rants Dynmyt said: "...I thought...." Oga,your 2nd opening statement (" I thought" were your own expressions of ignorance of the holy scriptures proven by Apostle Paul, @1 Corinthians 11:1. Pls, study the holy scriptures thoroughly (that is what JWs do) and disabuse your mind from "trickery" in the figment of your imagination.
Dynmyt: You dont go to war zones to win converts like other missionaries from christian denominations do, but when the coast is clear, they catwalk into an already peaceful settlement to claim to win converts. Cowardice at the sudden thought of it. All about securing your already minute groups using them to gain converts.Do you need to mind your numbers in a problem zone area to preach tge word of God? Then we will conveniently say your numbers are more important to y'all than passing the message of God in trying times. If matyrdom in blood transfusion rejection give y'all hard ons, why dont you people go and practice matyrdom in terrorist areas in Nigeria (lets bring it home), if your numbers mean so much to you. Then i do not see any reason a JW should not receive blood transfusion or donations from others to save their sorry asses.
. Oga, roughly over 30% of 9ja population had first hand experience of the 30 months Civil war. Ask your elders to tell you what JWs went through during those horrific times gone by. Matthew 24:15-19, your thoughts are NOT the thoughts of Jesus Christ nor the holy scriptures. You can flee , you can jakpa Go to the book of Acts, many times the disciples fled from troubled spots
15 “So when you see the abomination that causes devastation spoken about through the prophet Dani’el standing in the Holy Place”[a] (let the reader understand the allusion), 16 “that will be the time for those in Y’hudah to escape to the hills. 17 If someone is on the roof, he must not go down to gather his belongings from his house; 18 if someone is in the field, he must not turn back to get his coat. 19 What a terrible time it will be for pregnant women and nursing mothers"
To accept or not to accept donations, is strictly a personal decision.
Dynmyt: But no one hates JW.. Only that having inferiority complex and feeling hated suits matt 24:9.
Mr Dynmyt, can you to name only one person on this public forum who have ever reported that his fellow 3 deities worshippers in Christendom were summoned and indicted by Australian Royal Commission?
I challenge you to name that person
Dynmyt: JWs are the one going round castigating other denominations.
Christendom worships 3 deities. John 20:17, did Jesus Christ worship 3 persons? 1 Corinthians 11:1,3 & 1 Corinthians 3:23, did Paul imitate Jesus by worshipping 3 deities?
Dynmyt: At least when you people knock we open to listen to you, but can you endure just one minute of evengelism from other denominations. Gospel songs you will not play but if its secular songs una sabi am pass olamide
Why would JWs play music for the worship of 3 deities? Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29 & John 20:17, would Jesus Christ be embarrassed by your music for 3 deities?
As far as music is concerned, every JW knows that he must choose his choice of music in the same manner he chooses what to eat & drink.
Dynmyt: Max you have the beautiful chance to let us know the name of your own congregation now so if by any chance a situation may arise, then we can make bold to say oh Max that great guy don't you know he is a member of Christ the King assembly of the Jehovah's witnesses?
What is the name of your church you go to every Sunday. Pls set the ball rolling
oteneaaron: Hey MaxInDHouse, here are some links to help you investigate the child abuse court case against the JW organization by the Australian Royal Commission:
Do you know that one of the GB members Geoffrey Jackson was called to the witness-dock to give a testimony during this court case?
JWs are very much aware, ask achorladey to give you the proof. A lot has improved He shared it on this public forum
Oteneaaron', present your public scrutiny of ALL Christendom Churches summoned and indicted by the Australian Royal Commission. 4,444 cases in the Catholic church, over 1600 cases in the Anglican church, Lutheran church over 1200.. Dem plentiful.
Else, you are guilty of the same accusation you labeled on JWs.
20 persons were alleged to have committed the same offence but you always single out only one particular person to castigate,why ?
Mind you, I am not affiliated to any church or religion - not after my experience as a JW from my childhood till my adult age.
You lie when you say other religions have no records of their members.
Apostates making a confession
oteneaaron: I may not have all the info, but I am sure many churches give a baptismal certificate to their members.
But you are right - I don't expect the branch office to give any official statement cos afterall, - an unidentified JW died because she couldn't raise 4million naira for a surgery that would have saved her life.
Tales by moonlight.
oteneaaron: But if it were a much more "serious issue" like the Child Abuse Case of the Australian Royal Commission VS the JW organization, even a member of the GB would have rushed to give a testimony.
Talk about double standards and shifting the goal posts!! oteneaaron:
"No organization - religious or not - is above scrutiny by the general public"
Bros,where is Proof of oteneaaron's public scrutiny & criticism of Christendom & All 3 deities worshippers summoned and indicted by Australian Royal Commission for over 4,444 cases of child sexual abuse & a combined sum of tens of thousands you of cases of the same offence?
Bros,Your four fingers are pointing back at you- "double standard & shifting goal post."
To ridicule the holy scriptures ,He claims that Galatians 6:10 and John 13:35 is "LOVE BOMBING" JWs, my brothers taught by Jesus Christ, John and Paul, continue the LOVE without "BOMBING" while the Love of faithless people who are neither here nor there, continue to "wax cold" , according to Jesus Christ, @Matthew 24:12.
Bros, do you notice the contrast ? Matthew 24:12( is the world, no love) & Galatians 6:10/John 13:35(Jehovah's servants, love dey stew everywhere) .
Dynmyt: Yep thats hypocrisy dear...don't dine with the devil if you don't like him.. Just go open your business and leave "collapsed systems" the hell alone, and leave spaces for those that believe in the "collapsed systems" to wholesomely benefit from it. You should not be there to fix it, leave it for God to do that.
Very dull,Empty rants. Are private businesses ,or did apostle Paul a tanner, in particular get "whosomely benefits" from the " collapsed system" of 1 John 2:15?
Dynmyt: Cry more... Your tears are so delicious... Was Jesus a govt worker? Why y'all lots fighting dirty to enter the civil service? Is it laziness and lack of creativity to have your own initiative? Pray tell
Very shallow ,bigoted rants of a WAILER ; Is every JW a govt worker? Who are the "y'all lots"?
Kobojunkie: Translation: the boy chose suicide over life, this by sticking to their church dogma, and that is acceptable?
Let's hope his GB's prepared for him a heaven of their own on the other side of this life.
When did your Bible's command "Abstain from blood" become "church dogma"?
Luke 22:42 & Hebrews 5:7-8, is Jesus Christ obedience to the point of death, tantamount to suicide? Hebrews 11:17-19, is Abraham's obedience tantamount to suicide?
Everyone ranting upandan against JWs are free to exercise their freedom of speech. Talk is cheap. Only JEHOVAH'S judgement is righteous. Empty bigoted rants and WAILING upandan about Jehovah's servants amounts to water in a basket. "His ways are not your ways & His Thoughts are not your thoughts", Isaiah 55:8-9. What you guys see as "wisdom" in your rants is "USELESS" to my God, 1 Corinthians 1:25.. Remove the rafters in Christendom before you have any moral right to expouse your bigotry on this forum.
Briller: Hmmm. I don't want to sound judgemental but 90percent of the JW members I have come across are hypocrites. Argue with your ancestors if you doubt my submissions but if you know you know.
The church you belong to, hypocrites no dey? Have you called anyone of them out on this public forum? Your fellow Trinity devotees disturb the peace of their neighbors with noise pollution from loud speakers, have you called anyone out? You carry your bigotry enter Nairaland.
Briller: They claim they don't celebrate birthdays, yet partake of birthday cakes.... They claim they don't celebrate Christmas, yet partake in the chicken and all other orishirishi used to celebrate Christmas...
Those you label " hypocrites" are no different from you. The reason they roll with you. JWs like Janosky won't join your pagan celebrations,e get why. You know nau
Briller: They practice endogamy but commit adultery with people of other faith...
Is this practice of those you label "hypocrites" not fully practiced by your gods of men & Pastorpreneurs sleeping with choristers and members wives & their bedmates in the Lord? Have you publicly criticised this evil trend in Christendom? Bros, remove the rafter in Christendom and stop this your bigotry.
Briller: They work in civil service but don't respect national symbol such as anthem,
Bros, which national symbols did the 3 youthful servants , Meshach & his friends respect in Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon?
Which national symbols did Jesus Christ and the disciples respect in Roman Empire?
Briller: yet they benefit from the same system as long as they are paid salaries from taxpayers money...
Jesus paid taxes & benefited from the Roman Empire system like JWs are paying taxes. Why you dey vex when they "benefit from the same system?"
Briller: They cheat the system by using official hours to go out for evangelism so that their marks would be accorded them in their drive to gain more converts...
Your claim is GIBBERISH. When your 3 deities worshippers conduct Christendom services during official work hours , are your fellow devotees "cheating the system" ? Your hypocrisy is very luminous & your shameless exposure of your bigotry is to say the least, nauseating.
Briller: They love their Christian brothers and sisters more than their biological siblings...SMH
The list is endless.
Is Galatians 6:10 & Matthew 10:34-37 in your Bible? Na Jesus Christ teach us, JWs must obey.
Dynmyt: Gat a friend like that who pursued recommendation for a lecturing post in a government university, each denial he cries like a baby... He dun won any other job not even private but hell bent on the same "devil instrument" to survive...
What crime did he commit? Just read what you are typing about someone you call "friend". Chai
The Bolded is one of my Biggest Criticism of Them! They would claim dat Man's Government has Failed but Enjoy University Bursary, NPower, etc...
Apostle Paul appealed to the Roman Emperor to help, which political party did Paul belong to? You have to tell this forum or continue DECEIVING yourself
Vinnie2000: They will Say Marrying a Catholic, Pentecostal, etc is Bad but Fccks same pple as Girlfriends, side chicks, Sugar daddies, etc..
Russell or Whatever his Name is, Really created this Denomination on a Strong, Self deceit, Brainwashing Format.
Hypocrisy na your daily garment. You dey wear am with those people supporting you. Your fellow 3 persons deities worshipper confirmed it. The same manner the topic of the screenshot confirmed it- your 3 deities worshippers discriminate against themselves on the issue of inter faith marriage. Yet, Vinnie, you bring your hypocrisy and bigotry enter Nairaland
Ubenedictus: if she doesn't marry in the Catholic church...then there will be a bit of wahala for you.
She will need permission from her bishop to ask a priest to witness that marriage in your church and dépense her from the form of marriage and I don't know a single case off the top of my head when a Nigerian bishop has granted that.
To put it in simple terms, if you wed in your church, it won't be recognised in the Catholic church, it is almost the same as if she is committing fornication. She will not be able to receive communion or participate actively in her church. Reconsider o"
Kobojunkie: Just as Jesus Christ said. His Truth no longer holds value for you since you have been pretty much weaned on the lies of your GBs instead.
Kobojunkie, you are never on the same page with your fellow Trinity devotees, you are never on the same page with atheist, why do you expect to be on the same page with JWs? Just asking....
Deadlytruth: So you didn't read the post at all? Go back and read it very well. Her relation said it clearly that all the while she suffered the illness she rejected help offered her from a Catholic community in Italy. Meanwhile her own JW which imbued her with such deadly mindset couldn't raise funds for her. Hypocrisy at its peak.
Which OP? Bros, read the screenshot & believe the GIBBERISH you desire to believe.
Hashabiah: Bros , you're just deceiving yourself by misinterpreting the gospel of Jesus and the apostles . For your information, the ministry of Jesus Christ (not angel Michael ) was basically about salvation. But salvation from what ? According to the dictionary, salvation means deliverance or rescue . So Jesus was basically sent to rescue us from something .
Daniel 12:1 & 10:13, who did Michael the archangel Jesus Christ save in both verses?
Hashabiah: This something was a place called hell and it's a part of God's kingdom . And it's reserved for those who disobeyed God ,
Genesis 3:19 & 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, why do you love to DECEIVE yourself?
Hashabiah: just like Lucifer and his minions . The bible strictly describes hell as a place of torment meant for the Devil and his angels(matt25:41) . In Mark 9:47-48, Jesus Himself gives a better picture of what kind of place it is : "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.
The gospels are litter with verses like these , and Jesus and His apostle made their life work to warn men about this place. In fact Jesus only spoke about heaven once but mentioned about hell 11 times. Now why would Jesus speak more about Hell than Heaven ? The answer is simple : He doesn't want you to go there .
This is something that's obvious and I wonder why Charles Russell Taze didn't admonish you JWs
You still don't want to learn... Gehenna is a burrow pit for refuse & sewage outside Jerusalem in the time of Jesus Christ. Sulfur and brimstone was added to keep it burning all filthy stuff deposited there.
Mark 9:47-48, nobody, I repeat nobody was tortured in Gehenna.
