Governing Body doesn't say anything new if you are studying with the JWs because it's whatever they found written in the Bible that they base their teachings on.
But when people including members of the group notice what is happening and compare it to what the scriptures say the fear grips many that only members of this group can be saved.
That's what is affecting the OP.
Who am i to quench his fears?

If that is what his conscience is telling him then so be it!

😂😆

I'm just saying about the possible misunderstanding from others on the outside. They need a message of comfort. That the door is not open and shut case for only and specifically Jehovah's witnesses. Many of them view the word Armageddon like they do rapture. So in this case, hearing the words with insinuations that it's Jehovah's witnesses will survive may not be the best port of call. Doubts and disbelief may arise. It might also sound counterintuitive when they start considering Isaac, Jacob, Moses etc that were before Jesus Christ or Jehovah's witnesses.
So, just as when you call upon someone and say "we're your neighbours" instead of "we've come to preach to you", it's better to keep the door open for humble inquiry and persuasive argument.

If the op likes, let them spend their lives attempting to persecute people of other faiths like Jehovah's witnesses or continue in fear instead of taking positive steps.

Question:
Why Will God Kill Everyone In Armageddon But Jehovah's Witnesses?
Answer:
God promised a time when the earth will become peaceful with peace loving people all over the planet {Psalms 37:9-11} so Himself and His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ) has been working towards this goal {John 5:17} their plan is to gather all peace lovers throughout the earth under one umbrella {Isaiah 2:2-4} and destroy all weapons of war {Psalms 46:9} it won't work if there still remains people who are making weapons and training people to kill so to permanently end wars God included it in His son's teachings that obedient humans need to forgive and forget past errors or wrongdoings of their neighbors as in to forgo whatever anyone has done to hurt us in the past {Matthew 6:15} this will help us to think of how we can progress as one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers of the same God! John 17:22
That's the purpose of Christianity!
But Satan doesn't want humans to be saved so to complicate issues for humans he initiated different sects in the name of "CHRISTIANS" with false teachings after the death of Jesus' Jewish disciples! Matthew 13:25
Initially angels in heaven wanted to stop this move but Jesus commanded them to allow this falsehood until our time when they will have to separate faithful people from hypocrites! Matthew 13:30
Well after centuries of spiritual darkness Jesus returned as a spirit King and began to restructure his group though what he met wasn't the same thing he left back in the first century {Luke 18:8} but he started going from one group to another until he found this group called "International Bible Students" out of all religions claiming Abrahamic only this group was prepared to welcome this spirit King who wants to correct all the blunders man has committed in the name of God.
So Jesus chose them and started working with them until his father was satisfied with the restructuring and changed their name to JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15
Note what God said in that verse, He will destroy all others except this group.
WHY?
Because they are the only ones meeting up with the goal for which Christianity was established which is gathering peace lovers {Luke 10:6} throughout the earth {Matthew 28:19-20} to form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Micah 4:1-3} so when Jesus said many will claim they are Christians but he will disown them {Matthew 7:21-23} it's because they failed to meet up with God's purpose therefore instead of working for Jesus the Prince of Peace they will be deceived by Satan the killer to continue hating, fighting and killing one another! Revelations 6:3-4
That's why Jesus said he will order all of them to be killed when he start his government! Luke 19:27
My careful research makes me believe that this is the reason why Jehovah's Witnesses claim that Armageddon will spare only Jehovah's Witnesses and those who are progressively studying the Bible with them! Malachi 3:16

May you have Peace!

Just like the post by op MightySparrow, This is a little bit a misrepresentation of what Jehovah's witnesses actually teach. Salvation and everlasting life do not lie in the mere hands of men or an organisation. You don't become saved because you became a Jehovah's witness or started studying with them. At no time has their Watchtower organisation taught such a thing. I'm just saying that outsiders will misunderstanding of @bolded parts of it's worded exactly that way.

The emphasis is on "Honest hearted individuals", who will receive an opportunity by the almighty himself to become saved irrespective of their backgrounds. Many from the past like Noah, Abel will also be called upon for everlasting life.

NowYouKnow:
Are you a baptized member of the christian congregation of Jehovah's witnesses? If you are you will understand why I said what I said. I don't expect you to understand if you are not.

I have told you what needed to be said. There will be no showy displays of myself here based on this topic.

Pious101:
how do I get my book of bible story?

Ask any of them in your area or go to their nearest place of worship. It is also available in digital format through their app or website.

NowYouKnow:
If youre interested in knowing more about our beliefs please ask a jehovahs witness you see preaching in your area. We christian congregation of jehovahs witnesseses do not argue or go about making fun of other peoples religious denomination. Avoid discussing with that guy please.

This is sounding like zealotry or radicalism.
Learn to reprove with kindness not putting one another down.

post=135124601:
......apart from Obi,
Can you give us another name please?

We want to check something.....

I don't know but is there anyone that's not supposed to be given the chance? Every one has the right to vote and be voted for.

Well, Peter Obi, Dave Umahi, Godswill Akpabio, Alex Otti, Rotimi Amaechi, Charles Soludo, even Rochas, Wike and Uzodinma.
Look into the national assembly and pick anyone from the south. Na the same people with a few better eggs.
The point is that it must not be Atiku especially when it's the turn of the south.

obyno82:
Oga why are you naturally stupid? Am I lying that there are no igbo towns in South South? What do you gain by making this mischievous statement that igbos want to claim South South, when they are indigenous to the area already. Oga be very careful with the rubbish that spews out of your mouth do not think that your identity cannot be unmasked by authorities when trouble starts.

Firstly, he's an igbo person from Rivers State.

Secondly, Igbo people have never gone around claiming that the entire South South or Urhobo, Efik, Ibibio, Bini or Yoruba are Igbo people or that they belong to Igbo. So, it's not even necessary for anybody to argue with him.

Ikwerre(Rivers), Ika(Delta) and even Onicha or anybody can decide not to be identified as Igbo people. It's their right to freedom of speech and it doesn't alienate other people's rights (including their fellow tribesmen) from sticking to the truth of reality and even more each time they open their mouth, they profess Igbo language and culture. Moreover, just like transsexualism, DNA, historical facts, current reality and posterity will never agree with such a person's dysphoria.

Northernblood8:
You started very well but you ended the write up with foolishness

The funny thing is he's an igbo person.

israelmao:
Then where is democracy or is it now demonstration of craze as Fela used to sing?

A state of emergency is not your democratically elected government. Parts of your so called rights are shelved if need be.

mrksquare:
There is no contraption as sole administrator in our constitution. Get that into your skull. The man is an impostor. And Tinubu does not have power to suspend a democratically elected governor and the House of Assembly to start with. Section 305 is very explicit about it. We should refrain from normalizing illegality.

If Ibas wants to exercise the functions of governor, he should go to Cross Rivers state and vie as a governor.

Obviously, your skull is too young to remember that Obasanjo appointed Sole administrators in two different states. Goodluck Jonathan also declared state of emergency in 3 states even though he decided not to remove the governors as they all joined to focus on attacking Boko Haram.

Well,a I don't know which constitution you're reading nor the one the presidents are using to exercise these powers but it's of no use digressing further.

Once again, Ibas does not want anything, focus on Tinubu. Until you learn to know what is the source of a problem, you will find it hard to get properly oriented in discuss.

mrksquare:
Go back to your State impostor and contest any election as governor. You have no place in Rivers state.

This comment makes no sense because he's not contesting for anything in Rivers State either. Anyone old enough in this should understand how sole administrator works, they don't care about state of origin. For example, Tanko Zubairu from the north was the administrator for Imo state till 1999 civilian handover.
If we have any issues, we focus on Tinubu that appointed him. Nigerians need to learn about intricacies of situations instead of running around matters like headless chicken.
Let's hit the nail at the head and stop being distracted on Vice Admiral Ibas.

donleo92:
See this thief ooooooh...

On a norm are you meant to sit on the governors sit. Abi na because people just keep quiet?

Oga you should be lucky self to even be in rivers government house as an administrator. People are waiting for you after your 6months, you go give account of all rivers money

Sounds like you're new to the world or reality.
I don't support him but there's no power inside Rivers that's above him. Anybody that wants to should go and challenge the Gazzette from Abuja. So the protests are just looking for something else.

tiswell:
Putin is not a hardcore, he's a liberal Christian

Liberal? Go to Russia and see many religious groups including those of christianity that are currently under ban, heavy prosecution and torture.

SmartPolician:
Atiku cannot hold that office twice.

Is there a law that says so?
Goodluck was also a VP

bizbro:
It will happen eventually. Pope Francis was the first Pope not from Europe in a long time...

Not from Italy you mean? lol
Pope Francis was from Argentina but he was Italian.

livebullet:
You mean to the Jesus system?

Cos I wonder what you mean by Catholic system...

They said Catholic system. Don't twist their words. Those are two different things.

essentialone1:
3 most likely Cardinals to emerge as the Next Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, now that Pope Francis has died, are:


1. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle from Philippines.
2. Cardinal Peter Turkson from Ghana.
3. Cardinal Robert Sarah from Guinea.

Anything is possible but for now we dey play..

Ishilove:
How long was he the Pope? I don't know why the only Pope comes to my mind whenever I think of the Catholic papacy is John Paul II.

Oh well, now you can rest, baba.

Honestly, sometimes John Paul ii sticks to the mind as if he was still the pope currently. Guess he was more popular or accessible. I don't really know.

NigeriaIsGreat:
can a Southern candidate defeat Tinubu? Jonathan can't contest again according to what I've read so far, Osinbajo isn't that popular like Obi and the South East might not vote for him like they did for Obi. Obi on the other hand, Atiku, Elrufai and Kwankwaso will not want to deputise him and I don't think there's any other strong candidate in the north that can clear the northern votes apart from those 3 guys mentioned.

It seems hard for another southerner to be given the chance even by fellow southerners for a fresh 8yr start instead of just kicking Tinubu out in '27 or '31.

On the other hand, Atiku was already vice President once. El Rufai and Kwankwaso have no excuse, neither are they much more older nor too experienced to Deputize Peter Obi.
It's either they do it directly (Joe Biden) or they do so indirectly (Tinubu via osibanjo) if they're any serious about their presidential ambitions.
For example, If Obi rejoins Atiku as VP or Atiku throws his camp and a VP candidate behind Obi right now, it'll be insurmountable and probably the fastest chance to realise his presidential bid.

emoboy4u:
Lol, I cringe at the way you people bastardize white collar jobs. Yes I agree, there some that can be useless but there are a lot that are good too.
The truth is entrepreneurship and 9-5 can coexist. You don't have to demean one to praise the other.

This should have been your mic drop statement without any further ado. Don't ever try to drag white collar with blue collar. Dem no reach but the best is for those few who are able to mix both powers together. EDUCATION=SCHOOL+SKILL

emoboy4u:
Lol, I cringe at the way you people bastardize white collar jobs. Yes I agree, there some that can be useless but there are a lot that are good too.

An average Graduate trainee of a Nigerian bank get nothing less than 300k per month, that's about 13k per day if you divide by 22 working days. This is a fresh graduate with a 2.2/2.1 in any course and an NYSC certificate, no experience whatsoever.

Tell me what business will net you about 4Million annually without investing 10x as capital.

That's a naive question. Ordinary 13k daily? Let me start with some of the most ludicrous ideas. I don't want to stress with fancy jobs
Sample locations:
Aba, Owerri, Ihiala, Okija, Aba, Ohafia LGA,

Sample ventures (p.s: independent startups not joined together with each other)
Before I go into mechanics, vulcanisers, welders, Restaurant, Bakers, Pastries and or small chop vendors, etc, let me just list some of these ones for you
Barbing salon
Charging centre
Sinking borehole siddon dey sell water
Ice cream sellers (those ones with stool selling 50/100naira inside secondary schools)
Wheel barrow pusher🤷🏻‍♂️
Truck and Tipper loaders/Off loaders 🚛
Any of these can even make that 13k before 1pm.

emoboy4u:
Lol, I cringe at the way you people bastardize white collar jobs..

..Tell me what business will net you about 4Million annually without investing 10x as capital.

Tell me in what ward, LGA, state, country or continent where the richest person list is made up of people living on white collar jobs.

Love800:
Who tell you say laundry business na daily pay? E be like say customers never owe you money before, na dat time you go regret why you start laundry!

I don't entertain people with dyslexic approach to my comment. You have no right to misconstrue my statement and try to impose it on me.
I guess all these laundry that became chain business and erected their own branded buildings, was it this same mentality of yours that they used to get that level or customers no longer pay during dropoff or collection of their wears!?
Whatever floats your boat sha.

Tenrack:
abeg gimme daily income ideas wey I fit venture into. I dey Ajegunle apapa Lagos. The ghetto

As Nigeria take be, A charging centre of course POS must join inside
Depending on the space,
Add laundry & barbing services. If possible PlayStation games for young guys.
But just one or two plus the charging is a good start.

surgical:
Jonathan is not qualified to contest, he has been sworn in twice

Nope, he was only voted in once.
How many times was Peter Obi sworn in as Anambra State governor?

mrvitalis:
Have you ever bought land in South East?

Bia, Where exactly is this your "southeast"? Land are available for 100-300k or even less.
Which farmland did you see that's expensive? Someone called you online writer and you were crying but here you're proving them right with your continued jargons?
All those 1,000 hectares etc that are being bought regularly for university or estates, how much were they sold for? Once you're talking about bulk purchase, it most likely involves government allocation of the community land and just a fraction of land cost will be paid. 5 million naira per hectare self is expensive and you were busy shouting 50million with your full chest.

relaxfun:
Now I plan to move out of Lagos to PH or Akwa Ibom, then use part of the money to start up a computer business center, where I'll be doing typing, printing, lamination, jamb registration, GCE/WAEC registrations, etc. One of the reasons I chose this is because I've worked in a place like this before and I have experience in how to run such a place. Another reason is that, this business would give me time to also study and sharpen my Math/Programming skills. I plan to rent a shop that is big enough so that I can also be sleeping/living there.

Now I seriously need advicing because this is such a turning point in my life and the next few years is going to make or break me because there is no room for any disastrous bad decision

I don't know where you are from nor why you want to leave Lagos. Maybe you're not from there or you want to stay away from familiar pressure but your plan is good.
Don't focus only on major towns and state capitals There are some places that are calm like Ohafia in Abia State and public electricity is not available.
A solar powered phone charging, pos and accessories shop would fetch you a killing. Adding service like laundry or gas refilling would be blockbuster.
Shop and establishing the biz in such areas can even be less than half of the cost in major towns whereas the demand and returns are huge.

Her mother was not married to her father and she still calls by her mother's surname...🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️
There's no such rubbish in Nigeria. A man's child is a man's child with full rights and respect in the man's household.
Allegedly, he also took her to Nigeria without her maternal family's knowledge. A parent doesn't need consent from any external party to travel to their own home with their own kid.

She must have grown and decided to join the japa band wagon to go and taste SA Or M
maybe recent events like the Chidinma saga might have rekindled in her that she's part SA and now thinks this trend is the right way to achieve getting there through media sympathy. Her dumb ssa

Abure should just go to his constituency and contest for senate or house of reps.
This Labour party sef. Even when they had nothing, they were busy having factions upandan till one faction went ahead to officially become another party entirely -ZLP.
With the small wins they got in 2023 elections, through Peter Obi movement, governor in abia, runner up in Enugu and many state and national assembly members, they should have built themselves a platform to challenge the top dogs but here they are running back to square one.
Maybe Abure camp should also form another party Top Labour party -TLP Abi Real Labour party -RLP

TriCee:
Lol. I thought they said this one is in Rivers to make peace.
Be like Tinubu don use style make am governor.

Administrator is another name for Governor, LG chairman as the case may be.

Willy2025:
Does he have to appoint Administrators? Why not simply reconcile the warring parties and leave the state? THAT'S NOT HIS JOB NOR CONCERN. NA ASO ROCK BUSINESS. Call Jagaban to do the needful.
Ibas is overstepping his bounds. ABSOLUTELY NOT I heard his wife has equally taken over the office of the first lady. THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT SHE IS TILL THE END OF THEIR TENURE
Let him go to his state and contest for the office of the governor if he is so hungry for power. IRRELEVANT TO THIS ENTIRE BROUHAHA

As long as we're shocked or not happy with Rivers State current condition. Let's not be carried away trying to spew ignorance in the form of hate.
The sole administrator is the governor by a sort of "martial law" till the end of their tenure or when they're relieved of duties by the federal government. They don't need your political parties nor contesting in elections and they're not concerned about your civil court matters.
Some people here may be too young to remember Obasanjo appointing Sole administrators in two different states nor Nigeria in the times before may 29 1999. For example, Tanko Zubairu, a Northerner was administrator for Imo state. At least Vice Admiral Ibas is from the same South South.

The only sensible thing members of the coalition can do for themselves is Deputize to rule A.K.A Joe Biden move. Tinubu(via osibanjo) and now Shettima have utilised this move to get into the corridors of power.

A 2027 Atiku/Obi ticket will be easier to oust Tinubu and make the north happy. They've been crying because their tenure was not completed under Yar'Adua. Obi can run for president later when it's a fresh turn for the south.
Obi/Kwankwaso ticket. Giving Kwankwaso a foot in the doorway and chance to redeem his 2023 errors. But other northerners including Atiku might oppose.
For ordinary Nigerians and sceptical northerners, just letting Tinubu go naturally instead of stressing yourself might seem the best option.
