femi4: Church wasn't mentioned in your Bible?
I m sure " Kingdom hall" wasn't mentioned in my Bible but I can find "Church" , "assembly" and "Synagogue" there
The Greek word, from which the word “Church” is translated “Ekklesia”, This word “Ekklesia” is found 118 times in the New Testament Scriptures, translated 85 times, in the singular, “Church”; 35 times, in the plural, “Churches”; and three times “Assembly”.
The word “Assembly” is used in Acts 19:32, 39 and 41. The Greek word, “Ekklesia”, means “Called-out”, and suggests a called-out company, or a gathering, or an assembly. Thus we can see the unfortunate translation, “Church.” It would have been far better had the word “Ekklesia” been translated, “Called-out” or “Assembly”, all 118 times.
If you need more references, you can ask Congregation , Church or Assembly are synonyms for a gathering of believers. The kingdom Hall is a building bearing a name. Is that a crime? Kingdom Hall is not the Church, Congregation or Assembly or Ekklesia , whichever you prefer. Shalom |

sonofElElyon: well I disagree.. there are several verses in the Bible like I earlier said.. additionally, Jehovah witnesses do believe that Jesus is angel Michael.. you can ask any of them Malachi 3:1, Jesus Christ is the Angel of the covenant.
Joshua5:13-15 Jesus is the Angel of his Lord, Yahweh . Matthew 11:25, Jesus Praised Yahweh his Sovereign Lord. Yes ! (Trinity GIBBERISH goes straight to the Sewage Tank, go and do your research , don't come here and argue blindly ooo).
2 Thess1:7-9, who leads other angels in battle ?
Yet, you're still doubting Jesus is angel Michael 
Bros, be humble and learn from Jehovah's servants. Shalom

nwaimoroseyaho: If the punishment for sinners is to wipe them from existence then their is no punishment for sin Yahweh NEVER tormented or tortured Adam anywhere. Genesis 3:19, God took away the gift of life given to Adam.= Death without resurrection. Fair enough.
Think about it Before the sinners were born , where they existing? In other words, before Adam was created, was he existing? No !!!!
Romans 6:23. 2 thess1:7-9 is true to the point. God will deprive unrepentant sinners of the gift of life He gave them.

potent5: You can't know the real name of the Almighty by just looking at the Bible when all the names have been tampered with. You have to refer to scholarly materials. Besides, there is no letter J in Hebrew scriptures. Indeed, the letter J is less than 1000 years old so Jehovah couldn't be his name. The Tetragrammaton (YHWH) which is unanimously accepted as the representation of the name has no J in it, so how can you have Jehovah as the name.? The closest name is Yahweh. Yahweh or Jehovah, anyone that rocks your boat, go with it. Jeremiah or Jesus,or Joshua, nobody is complaining about the letter " J". Katherine or Catherine,go with the one you prefer.  |

emmnprince: Your response: Paul was teaching his fellow brethren about being selfless just as he had been in the spreading and teaching of God's word over Christ Jesus Church (congregation) which He (Christ) bought with his blood.
The verse says "church of God." Your statement says "Christ Jesus Church." You replaced "God" with "Christ Jesus." It is God (Jesus Christ) who purchased His church with His blood. You just confirmed Jesus to be God.
The "God" mentioned in verse 28 is a reference to Christ. As many other verses like Titus 2:13 stated. Jesus 5:37 ,3:16 Jesus Christ CONFESSED God his Father NEVER came to earth to die for man.
Acts 20:28 correctly said Lord , Trinitarian FRAUDSTERS inserted "God" there. The same manner these FRAUDSTERS inserted "God" in 1 Timothy 3:16. The screenshots below speaks for itself

femi4: 16. The called their Church "Kingdom hall"
17. They believed only 144,000 will make heaven
18. In their Bible, they replaced anywhere "God" is written with "Jehovah"
Silly people, shame on them Church is not the building, Pastorpreneurs done DECEIVE you finish. Kingdom Hall is the name of the venue we gather for Bible study. Jesus preached God's kingdom,Mark 1:13-15 & Commanded we do so , Matthew 24:14. That's one reason we call it "kingdom Hall". Revelations 1:1. 14:1, Matthew 5:3,5, Jesus Christ says 144,000 will rule with him in heaven. Other righteous ones will live forever on earth Without sin , sickness and death, Psalms 37:29 , Revelations 21:3-5. Shame on you who deny the holy name of your Maker. You get your own name but you refused to accept Jehovah's name. Jesus made Jehovah's name known, John 17:26. Psalms 83:18 ASV. |

Hardtalk: Oga, they stylishly removed the concluding part of that 1 John 5:7, from their own Bible. You will not see it there. Check the New World Translation and compare it with King James Version
No wonder they manufactured their own Bible and replaced Jesus the Word 'God', in John 1:1, with god .  Strong's Greek 1510 and Strong's Greek 2316 means the same thing in Acts 28:6 and John 1:1, you can't shift this goalpost. 1John 5:7 KJV FRAUD is well known, only DELUDED Trinitarians run to that FRAUD to console themselves. Your NKJV footnotes says your 1 John 5:7 is a FRAUD.

olaeffect: Immediately you start preaching your religious sect/doctrine than preaching Jesus Christ the author and finisher of our faith; i stop seeing you as a believer or a Christian. No middle grounds.
JW believe in Jehovah than Christ, thereby rejecting Christ and the mystery that Jehovah Himself performed by the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.
The Roman Catholics are more concern about Roman tradition than Christianity or Jehovah. 80% of Roman Catholic doctrines are purely lifted from Roman traditional belief with nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity or Judaism. Eg Mary being the mother of God rather than being just the birth mother of Jesus (first ever surrogacy). The Roman Catholics never knew a woman can give birth to a child she is not related to by flesh and blood in the same way she was made pregnant despite knowing no man. Bros, John 15:15 and John 7:16. John 12:49-50. John 17:3,17. John 14:28 is in your Bible. Jesus Christ confessed himself is under the authority of his God and Father. Even in heaven ( Revelation 3:5,12 compare Matthew 10:32). JWs can not go beyond what is written. Shalom |

Ficeo: Please brother, is it true that 144,000 people will go to heaven? Throw more light on this with biblical back up. Thanks. Jesus Christ himself said his followers will go to heaven, Matthew 5:3. Revelation 1:1. 14:1 His Father gave Jesus a revelation that 144,000 will be co-rulers with Jesus in heaven (Revelation 1:5-6. Rev 5:9,10). Revelation Jesus Christ said his followers shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5. 2Peter 3:13. Rev 21:3-5. Daniel 7:13-14. Jesus the son of man received authority to rule in God's kingdom. God's kingdom is God's government. There will be rulers (Jesus & co-rulers) and subjects (earthly subjects of righteous humans, Psalms 37:29. Compare Matt 5:5) It's clear enough. |

Ijaycool: 1. What is the JW's standing on LGBTQ issues?
2. Does any JW's teaching encourage Holier than Thou attitude?
3. There seems to be an extra attack from JW on the Catholic church, can you tell me what the official standing is on this matter? 1) Jehovah God condemns homosexual and lesbian practice. Romans 1:22,26-32. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Anyone who desires to worship the only true God, Jehovah, must QUIT such practices and continuously work hard to desist from sin. 1 Corinthians 6:11. Galatians 5:22-24. 2). No.. not at all. The mantra is "if you can't beat them, join them (in sin, fraudulence and debauchery )" because JWs don't compromise our faith,Acts 5:29, others erroneously feel JWs are holier than thou" 3) JWs Bible based beliefs doesn't sit well with Christendom, not just the Catholic Church alone. The Bible is against Christmas, mariolatry, Trinity, immortal soul etc. When JWs use the Bible to point these out, you get to see that atheists and Christendom are paddy paddy.. Shalom. |

Mentorme: 10. Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the only valid basis for divorce. (Matthew 19:4-9) We are convinced that the wisdom found in the Bible helps families to succeed.—Ephesians 5:22–6:1.
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. Ask yourself : do married people commit fornication and why did he (Jesus) use fornication and adultery at the same time? You people thought that you know bible more than others. Wait! You forgot to mention that they have their own version of the Bible with the obvious difference been in John 1 vs 1. Because they don't want to accept that "the Word was God".  Matthew 19:9 "po.r.neia" is the Greek word used there. That Greek word references all forms of sexual activity (fornication, homosexual, lesbian, etc) outside the marital union of man and wife. Greek 1510 and Greek 2316 in Acts 28:6 and John 1:1 means the same thing. Bros, you can't shift this goalposts.  NWT is very accurate.
Mind you, many other Bibles have similar rendition to NWT. The Coptic sahidic Bible older than any English translation validates NWT. Go figure. |

sonofElElyon: your argument is very weak!
Jesus said I will send you another comforter.. so you can send your TV, RADIO ETC abi The Holy Spirit also sends people on assignments.. he has emotions which only person's have eg grieves, can be lied to.. gets angry etc..
The Holy Spirit is given a place with the Father and Son... surely "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" is enough proof that He is a person.. The others are persons yet you seek to single out the Holy Spirit and "DISperson" him .. the context and by association, it is clear that He is a person... Just like when it was written The Lord God and His Spirit have sent me.. you agree that The Father is a person but you choose to DISperson the Holy Spirit.. Not sound doctrine, logic or reason.
The Bible has more than enough proof to convince any open minded person except of course people who are fanatically loyal to their sect.. Wheelbarrow is your helper, is it a person? I challenge you to name one occasion in your Bible when a believer was baptized in the name of the Father, the son and holy spirit  When weather is hot, Your electric fan is your comforter, is it a person? Folklift is your helper, is it a person? Greek pneuma is not a person. Anywhere you see holy spirit referenced as "him", na fraud the Bible translators do there.
Everywhere in your Bible where Jesus is at his Father's right hand, I challenge you to show us where holy spirit is mentioned there 
Stephen saw Jesus at God's right hand, why he no see holy spirit at God's left hand?
Revelation 1:1 God gave Jesus revelation, why Jesus no give to holy spirit wey go give am to Angels?
Trinity na fraud. No deceive yourself  |
