Courz:
A very important warning. I can't count the many Ex Satanists now Christians that have exposed these people. Every information about this JW Cult is out there for the world to see. Nobody should say they were not warned. Apostle Paul has warned against receiving and listening to people who don't preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teach the Truth about him. This is why they are rejected left, right and center when they go out to preach but in their mind they think that's normal. I am glad people are already avoiding them. The Bible itself warns against this Cult. They have a very big problem with the Bible which is why they had to make their own version with many twisted verses. Big Red Flag!

The Bible did not only warn people to avoid those not preaching the true gospel of our Lord Jesus, a curse was placed on them:

Galatians 1:8-9
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.

The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is the good news about the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. And how through faith in this resurrection, salvation is available for all mankind.

The scripture says;

Romans 10:9-10
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This is the gospel preached by the early church. See examples below:

1. Apostle Peter First Preaching After the Holy Ghost Baptism.

Acts 2:29-32
29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. note

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32 THIS JESUS HATH GOD RAISED UP, whereof we all are witnesses.

Notice, verse 33. The emphasis is on the resurrection of Christ from the dead.

2. Apostle Peter’s Message to the House of Cornelius

Acts 10:38-41
38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

40 HIM GOD RAISED UP THE THIRD DAY, and shewed him openly;

41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him AFTER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

3. Philip the Evangelist

Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

What did Philip preach? He preached Christ.

4. Apostle Paul After His Conversion

Acts 9:18-20
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

What did Paul preach? He preached Christ.

What did he preach about Christ?

Acts 17:2-3
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, AND RISEN AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

I could go on and on with more evidence.

But Jehovah Witness don't preach Christ. Rather, they oppose the message of the gospel. Three things they teach that opposes the message of Christ are;

1. That Jesus didn't rise from the dead bodily. This is false teaching. It's contrary to what the scripture teaches. Jesus rose from the dead bodily. They saw him, they touched him and he ate with them. He even told Thomas, "I am not a spirit. I have flesh and bones" - Luke 24:39.

2. They teach salvation is by works. But the scripture teaches that we are saved by grace:

Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast.

3. They teach that hell as a place of torment for lost souls doesn't exist. But Jesus taught us that such place exist.

The story of the rich man and Lazarus is one of many examples. Luke 16:19-31.

They debunk this calling it a parable. It's madness for our Lord Jesus to use what is not real to make a parable. But it's not a parable. In parable, you don’t mention actual names or characters.

Please, if you are a member of Jehovah Witness, leave that anti Christ organisation and embrace Christ.

If you are not a member, please, don't ever contemplate to become one. It's a sure way to hell.

Nigeria is a very rich and blessed country. We just have wrong leaders, wrong policies.

It's a shame that we can't get our refineries to work.

It's wrong to keep selling our crude oil in dollars. Naira will continue to go down with this policy in place.

It's a shame we still import try circles and many other things we can produce to boost our economy.

It's a shame

Dagger79:
I hope it gets to the right people who needs it.

Forget about it. Not this present set of leaders. Government without conscience and accountability.

Shaved bears will not guarantee heaven. Pastors should learn to focus on more important things. I blame people who don't choose churches they attend wisely.

hisgrace090:
Pls don't push Tinubu with your analysis to move against CNG with price hike soon knowing how heartless they can be.

You are very correct. By the time more people begin to convert to CNG, the price will shoot up. This is Nigeria.

Another distribution without accountability. Brainless and wicked government. How many Nigerians benefited from the first distribution. Just making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

NoSmoking:
Go round how?

It's an irony

Your statistics doesn't change the reality on ground. We all know the truth. My stats sense says its 5% that are happy.

Did he win the election by vote or he bought the seat?

Just find a way to forge ahead in spite of what is happening. I guarantee you that these set of leaders are confused and brainless.

gohf:
God the father is not invisible blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God, God is very seeable, He is not a function of imagination, he is as real as we are. Jesus is right now seated at the right hand of God, because God doesn't make himself visible to all doesn't mean he lack manifestation. Did you read at his appearance the earth quakes, heaven and earth disappear there was no room for them.

That hebrews is quoted from Psalm 45
God has blessed You, referring to the Son, forever

But then in verse 5, it refers to the throne and the kingdom of God.

It's like that psalm where Jehovah was speaking to Adonai, you see ignorance sometimes is a choice, try and read the Hebrew translations of scripture.

Even John Apostle John saw the throne of God and the lamb at the right hand. And recorded it in revelation.

You are misquoting and misunderstanding one verse or few you have in your mind against all of scripture and revelation, is that not arrogance


Psalm 45:7 for God Your God, whose God, the God of the Mighty One, who loves righteousness and hates wickedness, God anoints Him.

Jesus did not anoint himself, God the father anointed him and gave him a name.

Don't think you are wiser than those through whom the revelation was given

I still don't understand where you are going. Please, come clear.

As for the Father, you can only see his glory or form but not in physical body like Jesus has.

gohf:
Jesus being a man doesn't make him an ordinary man.

Is worship not honor, do you not honor your parents. Did Jesus tell anyone to worship him, was it not the Father who made all things under him and to worship him. You think Jesus sought worship for himself, he is not the devil. He is Lord, and we honor him our lord and saviour.

Glad you agree that Jesus is not the Father, and yes he is divine and that divine nature is also in us those who believe and obey God

What is your bone of contention?

All worships are honours but not all honours are worships.

I hope they are not planning different ways to make the poor suffer more.

Janosky:
Illiterate pastor deceiving himself in public forum.


John 7:16 " the doctrine I (Jesus) teach is NOT mine".

John 17:3 " believe the only true God his Father & believe in Jesus His Son,to have eternal life "

John 14:1 Jesus said:"believe in the God my Father & believe in me"

Illiterate pastor says NO!


Oga illiterate pastor,repent ooOO!!!!

What is the meaning of the word, gospel? And what should be the central focus of the gospel message?

MaxInDHouse:
Is this about what i believe or what you think Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe?

For your information the word BELIEVE means TRUST so if you say someone doesn't believe in something it shouldn't just be an assertion your opinion should be fully backed with proof.
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES carefully practice everything Jesus commanded his disciples to do so in what sense can you say JWs don't believe in Jesus?
You are scared to mention the name of your church because you don't want others to find out what you practice in your church yet you want to be addressed as a Christian is that not real cultism?

You are a son of perdition. You will continue to defend Russell and Rutherford until you join both of them in hell. And you are doing this in spite of overwhelming evidence exposing your their lies.

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted says it all, you must believe in the two before you can be saved!

You can't believe in Jesus without believing in God the Father because he qualifies to become a son of God.

But Jehovah Witness believe in God but don't believe in Jesus. So, you can't be a Christian.

If you believe in Jesus, you will believe he is God in human flesh. He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. He said; "...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?" (John 14:9)

He was never created. Rather, all things were created through him. He existed before the world began. See the statements he made in this regard;

John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.

The NET puts it this way;

John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me at your side with the glory I had with you BEFORE THE WORLD WAS CREATED.

This is why he also said;

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

He taught clearly about the reality of hell which your wicked anti Christ organisation denied.

He said he is coming back but you said he isn't coming back. In fact, you said he has already come back.

What more can I say. Your founder is an agent of darkness who opposes virtually every truth of God's word. He is definitely in hell suffering for his wickedness and you will join him if you don't repent. Keep defending his lies until the devil takes your soul away.

MaxInDHouse:
You're misconstruing the whole thing, there are two persons whose names are for the salvation of mankind!

@ John 17:3 Jesus said:



But why was Peter emphasizing on only Jesus' name in those verses?

Because those listening to him were Judaists who already knew the name of Jehovah so the fact that they're already familiar with that name makes it compulsory for them to know the name of God's servants through whom we must be saved!

My friend, the emphasis is on the name of Jesus. If you believe in Jehovah but don't believe in Jesus, you cannot be saved. Jesus was sent by God his Father and you must believe in Jesus to be saved;

John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

It's quite unfortunate that in this age of enlightenment, millions can be deceived to believe the lies of Jehovah Witness organisation. One of such lies is that Jesus didn't rise from the dead with his body. I know some of their new members are not aware of this teachings. But I have my evidence from their own book. See it below;

FLESHLY BODY NOT TAKEN TO HEAVEN

However, many persons believe that Christ took his fleshly body to heaven. They point to the fact that when Christ was raised from the dead, his fleshly body was no longer in the tomb. (Mark 16:5-7) Also, after his death Jesus appeared to his disciples in a fleshly body to show them that he was alive.

Once He even had the apostle Thomas put his hand into the hole in His side so that Thomas would believe that He had actually been resurrected. (John 2k24-27) Does this not prove that Christ was raised alive in the same body in which he was put to death?

No, it does not. The Bible is very clear when it says: "Christ died once for all time put to in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit."
(1 Peter 3:18) Humans with flesh-and-blood bodies cannot live in heaven. Of the resurrection to heavenly life, the Bible says: "It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. . . flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom." (1 Corinthians 1544-50) Only spirit persons with spiritual bodies can live in heaven.

Well, then, what happened to Jesus' fleshly body? Did not the disciples find his tomb empty? They did, because God removed Jesus' body. Why did God do this? It fulfilled what had been written in the Bible. (Psalm 16:lO; Acts 2:31) Thus Jehovah saw fit to remove Jesus' body, even as he had done before with Moses' body. @euteronomy 34:5, 6) Also, if the body had been left in the tomb, Jesus' disciples could not have understood that he had been raised from the dead, since at that, time they did not fully appreciate spiritual things.

Excerpt from, You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth. (Pages 143-144)Je

Michael547:
So you mean God does not have a personal name in the old testament? If yes, how do you explain psalm 83:18 and John 17:26 in the screenshot below?

How does that affect your walk with him. That you have this knowledge doesn't save you. Salvation is in the name of Jesus;

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Do you call your earthly father by his name or you call him daddy or father or papa? Jesus called him father. Well, you can't because you are not his child yet. If you are, the spirit of God in you will cry Abba Father.

Aemmyjah:
Why were Mary Magdalene, Cleopas and others not able to identify him physically when they saw? Some of his disciples even doubted when he was there with them

Again
Did Jesus take back his sacrificial flesh?
You correctly said No.
We too don't believe that he took back his sacrificial flesh but that doesn't invalidate his resurrection. He resurrected in another body and was able to appear and disappear to wherever he wants to and to eat and be physically speak. Same way angels that appear to humans do

Do I believe in Jesus? Yes
Do I believe that he died and God resurrected him? Yes
Do I believe he appeared in the same sacrificial flesh he sacrificed once and for all time, his temple, the body God prepared for him? No and you too say so. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in spirit

Stop being double faced

I never said Jesus never took back his physical body. He rose up from the dead with his body but it was transformed into a glorious body.

Scriptures should never be interpreted in isolation. You must consult with other passages that addresses the same issue. Evidence of the scripture that shows that Jesus rose up with his body;

1. He said it before it happened.

John 2:19-21.
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. (Compare)

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the TEMPLE OF HIS BODY.

This passage is enough to debunk your lies. But let's continue;

2. The tomb was empty.

If Jesus didn't rise from the dead with his body, they would have seen it in the tomb. To assert that God took his body is calling God a fraudster. But your organisation which opposes every truth in the Bible is the fraudster. You don't have a single scripture evidence for that.

3. Jesus himself told Thomas he is not a spirit. He said, come and touch me. I have flesh and bones;

Luke 24:38 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; FOR A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE.

Notice, he didn't say, flesh and blood which is the earthly body. He said, flesh and bones. This is the glorified body. It is not sustained by blood but by the Spirit of God. This is what the scripture meant when it said;

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit.

You misinterprete the verse above as though it says that Jesus was raised as a spirit. It said he was made alive by the power of the Holy Spirit.

4. Apostle Paul wrote;

Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned LIKE UNTO HIS GLORIOUS BODY, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

The passage above acknowledges that Jesus has a body but it's a glorious one. And our bodies will also be transformed like unto his glorious body.

TemmyT002:
Dey play
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus died and rose form the dead.
Stop listening to what other people say about them and for your personal research.

See evidence below from their own book;

FLESHLY BODY NOT TAKEN TO HEAVEN

However, many persons believe that Christ took his fleshly body to heaven. They point to the fact that when Christ was raised from the dead, his fleshly body was no longer in the tomb. (Mark 16:5-7) Also, after his death Jesus appeared to his disciples in a fleshly body to show them that he was
alive.
- Once He even had the apostle Thomas put his hand into the hole in His side so that Thomas would believe that He had actually been resurrected. (John 2k24-27) Does this not prove that Christ was raised alive in the same body in which he was put to death?

No, it does not. The Bible is very clear when it says: "Christ died once for all time put to in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit."
(1 Peter 3:18) Humans with flesh-and-blood bodies cannot live in heaven. Of the resurrection to heavenly life, the Bible says: "It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. . . flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom."

Aemmyjah:
Jesus took back his sacrificial flesh?

No, he didn't. He showed himself to his disciples in his physical form Thomas even touched him and put his hand into the nail pierced hands of Jesus.

Jesus even told Thomas, 'I am not a spirit. Come touch me, I have flesh and bones,

Michael547:
So what is the name of the Father?

Is that your problem? The Old Testament Saints called him by different names but Jesus calls him Father. So, I call him Father also.

gohf:
Jesus Christ is Lord!.... but he is not God, indeed he is king and divine but he isn't God.

The basis of true faith is to believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and not that Jesus Christ is God.

Matt.16.15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Matt.16.16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Matt.16.17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

Jesus himself said, John 14:28, "I am going to the Father, for my Father is greater than I."

Demons did not call Jesus God, even though they are lying spirits whose accounts we shouldn't believe Luke.8.28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, fell down before Him, and with a loud voice said, "What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!"


Then what about an angel, Gabriel who had visited Daniel who then visited Mary and said to her,
Luke.1.31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
Luke.1.32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.


There is the Lord Jesus and the Lord God... Ps.110.1 The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."

Some even say that the name of Jesus which is higher than every other name is higher than the name of the Father. Not even consider that a son bears his father's name.

Let me use an easier translation so we don't speak too many words, what did Paul say
1Cor.15.27 For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
1Cor.15.28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

This was Paul who Phil.2.9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,... Jesus did not give himself a name, it was God the Father that gave him a name.

When John writes about testing every spirit, prophecy to verify genuine prophets from false prophets he wrote
1John.4.2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
1John.4.3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.


The question now is what can you call a person or a spirit that says Jesus is God, for God is spirit revealed by Jesus himself but we are to believe that Jesus came in the flesh and is currently resurrected in his body at the right hand of the Father.

The devil is an author of confusion that is why those who are confused claim to be spiritual and that things of the spirit cannot be understood even when John, Jesus, Isaiah affirmed that the spirit gives understanding. How can Jesus be at the right-hand of himself.

You who believe such are the reason why the truth of God is held in contempt as the world views you as being to gullible to believe every nonsense you hear. And the true believers see you as a child tossed to and fro by strange doctrines born out of the imaginations of men.


I who have met the real Jesus testify to you that Jesus and the Father are not the same, yes they are one because they are united as a husband and wife are one in unity but not the same in personality or person.

Jesus is the word of God, and he is divine, the very manifestation of God's word full of grace and truth but he is not God the speaker. He himself testifies of God the Father, as the one who sent him, as the one who testifies of him the son, as the one who does the works.

If Jesus is God he would reveal himself as God and not have to humble himself to God who is above and above all, revealing God the father. Jesus is divine because he is like God, having the likeness of God but the in the image of man to bear our sins.

This post is to reveal who Jesus is, the real Jesus sent by the Father, that those who listen and obey him will be saved. This is the spirit of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus. Blessed is he who understands and sees him.

Jesus is not the Father, but he is the physical manifestation of the Father.

He is God in very essence. His statements affirm this truth. But on earth, he functioned as a man became of his mission but he is a God being.

Can an ordinary man make statements like;

Before Abraham was, I am.

He accepted worship. Man does not accept worship.

Read John 17 and listen to his conversation with his Father.

Jesus is fully God but he is not the father.

The Father is invisible. If you want to see the Father, look at Jesus.

TemmyT002:
Taking Nigeria as a case study, if you are not a Jehovah’s Witness, you must have heard from some pastors or some other Christians like you about how the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach the wrong gospel. You must have heard them say that they use the wrong Bible. They must have told you to kick them out of your house or never let them in. They might have even told you that listening to them could lead you to Hell Fire.

My view about them changed when I related with one of them during an external tutorial class. There was a single guy among the rest in a mixed class of Christians and Muslims. This guy was the only Jehovah’s Witness. We all had a lot of fun bullying him. We made jest of his bag and made jest of the fact that he was a Jehovah’s Witness.

Despite all these bullying, he never retaliated. We were still kids back then and our knowledge of the Bible was what we were taught in our different churches. We argued over some verses in the bible and the guy took pains to explain some topics based on what he had been taught. We all shut him down, of course.

Years later, I had the opportunity to visit one of their Kingdom Halls. I had read a lot of their FREE publications and I wanted to see what they did there. I was wowed. I have been to many other churches but this Kingdom Hall was different.

The surprising part was that after the service, I met this guy again and he was so happy to see me. I was surprised. I thought he would make jest of me and ask why I was there. Instead, he and the other people there showed me love.

How are the Jehovah’s Witnesses better Christians than the rest of us?

1. THEY FACE MORE PERSECUTIONS

The Bible says “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”- Matthew 5:10

John 15:18- “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

2 Timothy 3:12 – “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.”

You will agree with me that Christians in Nigeria also get persecuted but the persecutions occur mostly in the Northern part of Nigeria. Jehovah’s Witnesses, however, are many all over the world and they are persecuted more than all other Christians of different denominations. The recent one occurred in Russia.

The Southwestern part of Nigeria, which is full of the Yorubas is considered to be full of people who are tolerant and accept you into their society no matter your status or religion. However, Jehovah’s Witnesses still get persecuted there most of the time.

I watched an American movie about the Second World War and at the end of the movie, some statistics were listed based on the number of people who were killed by Hitler’s Soldiers. Apart from the Jews, the homosexuals, and blacks, I was surprised to see Jehovah’s Witnesses listed among them too.

2. DONATIONS ARE VOLUNTARY

Unlike in other Christian churches where people are forced or even threatened to make donations, donations in Kingdom Halls of the Jehovah’s Witnesses are quite voluntary. When you walk into one of their Halls, you will see a box right at the entrance calling you to make voluntary donations.

In other churches, publications are not free. Pastors and General Overseers write a lot of books. Some churches even produce a lot of books for the benefit of their congregations but these books are not free. This is different with Jehovah’s Witnesses.

In each Kingdom Hall, at least the ones I have been to, there is a special place where lots of books and publications are arranged. You can pick any book depending on the language you want for free.

You might have seen them giving out books on the streets and they would never ask you to buy them. They would instead ask you to make voluntary donations. Even if you don’t have money, you can go ahead and pick. They are more interested in making sure you gain the knowledge of God’s word.

3. MEMBERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Do you know a Jehovah’s Witness who doesn’t ‘preach’ on social media? When Jesus was leaving the earth, he asked his disciples to go all over the world and preach the gospel.

Thankfully, we are in the jet age where you can share information that can reach people all over the world. Unfortunately, today’s Christians rarely make use of this opportunity to preach the gospel.

There are lots of Christians who have huge followers on different social media platforms but unless they are pastors, you would rarely see them post anything related to the gospel on their accounts. Instead of sermons you will see them posting their beautiful pictures.

Jehovah’s Witnesses’ members post different topics on Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Pinterest, and so on. Whatever they learn in their Kingdom Halls or conventions, they make sure they share them online.

Other Christians prefer to share nonsensical topics and topics that won’t touch your life positively in anyway. They are supposed to share the sermons they learn from their different churches every Sunday but they would rather share posts concerning Big Brother Nigeria or other nonsense.

4. EVANGELISM

This is one of the things they are known for. Apart from the social media, radio and other modes of evangelism, the Jehovah’s Witnesses preach the gospel by walking from house to house.

Despite the fact that a lot of people reject them, they still keep on. Everything in their minds is looking for one or two people whose lives they can touch positively. You see them walking in the sun, with their umbrellas and bags, with no shame. They prefer to follow God’s instructions and they do this at least twice in a week, walking long distances.

5. TESTIMONIES

Their testimonies are different from those of other Christians. While other Christians give testimonies about what God has done in their lives, most of the testimonies usually involve material things of the world. This is good but there is always something missing.

Other Christians testify about the new cars they just purchased, the new child they just had, the new house they just built and so on. The testimonies of Jehovah’s Witnesses involve turning over a new leaf, giving their lives to Jesus and becoming a model example.

They have different stories on testimonies like these. When you read about people changing and turning over a new leaf, you will be encouraged and you will want to have the same experience. In one of their publications, I read about a Japanese Kamikaze soldier who fought in World War Two and then became a Jehovah’s Witness and began to preach the gospel. I was wowed.

6. THEY ARE ORDERLY AND CALM

Have you ever walked into a Kingdom Hall? As you approach the place, you would believe they are not holding any program because you won’t hear anything. It is only when you enter into the Hall that you will realize that there is a program going on after all.

Other churches love the use of loud speakers. You could be far away and you would hear the different speakers from different churches booming and screaming. Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Kingdom Halls do not pollute the air with noises.

During their programs, they never compete for Bible reading. We all know this. In Pentecostal churches, when the pastor calls a Bible verse, you see fifty people trying to read the same verse at the same time. You would think the fastest reader would be paid for it.

The ‘winner’ is usually the fastest reader. This usually causes fracas among the readers after church services and you may sometimes see two ‘readers’ keeping malice against each other.

The reverse is the case in Kingdom Halls. When a Bible verse is called or when a question is asked, people would raise their hands in order to respond. Everything is calm and quiet. You feel peace in your heart. You forget your problems.

7. SHOW OF LOVE

Many churches in Nigeria love to welcome newcomers. Some churches serve them foods and drinks and collect their phone numbers. The choir members sing a song of welcome and then some top leaders of different groups walk over to the newcomers to shake their hands and welcome. That’s all.

At the end of the program, everyone leaves and forget the newcomer. This occurs in most churches. When a newcomer’s phone number is gotten, all the church want to do is to make sure the newcomer becomes a member and comes always.

In Kingdom Halls, this is different. After the service, almost everyone walks over to you to shake your hand and welcome you with beautiful smiles. Then they politely ask if you would want free Bible study.

There are so many other ways by which the Jehovah’s Witnesses are better Christians than the rest of us and we need to emulate these qualities. There is a very big difference if we are being sincere with ourselves.

Showing love to one another is the key to peaceful nation. Despite the number of churches in Nigeria, in different states and in different streets, corruption is still rampant. Ethnic bigotry and tribalism is till rampant. Something is wrong somewhere and it is all in our hands to change things.

Emulating the qualities of the Jehovah’s Witnesses is the key.

There is no basis for comparison. Jehovah's Witness are not Christians. I have said it countless times. For anyone to be a Christian, you must believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead. And you seal it up with your confession- Romans 10:9-10.

The Jehovah's Witness do not believe in the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

In addition, the gospel you preach must be centred around Christ. The early church preached Christ. They don't preach Christ.

Now, if Olukoya decides to take legal action against this young man slanders, people will talk and say he's oppressing the poor.

In this present world, everybody must be accountable to what he or she writes or say.

This includes you Op, previously you spent months damaging Pst Adeboye image, I guess it's Olukoya turn.

Which legal action? There is no smoke without fire. If it's untrue, he should just debunk it and leave the rest to God. This is the cross we have been asked to carry. But if it's true, he should be exposed with more concrete evidence.

MFN is a church I will never recommend any believer to attend even if there were no scandals against it. First, the name itself is apposed to New Testament revelation. The writer of Hebrews wrote;

Hebrews 12:18-19
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

The name is based on Old Testament revelation of Moses encounter with God in a mountain that smoked with fire. But the writer of Hebrews says that our own gathering is not around such mountain.

Second, the fall and die prayer language is against the instruction of our Lord Jesus and the teachings of the Apostles.

So, I am not shocked hearing stories like this because I have never seen them as New Testament Saints.

Reno working tirelessly for his 70k minimum wage. FFK don give up since

You just reminded me of FFK. Is he in this country?

Some leaders are in cults that takes pleasure in the death of people. They get promoted when they programme people to die. The covid 19 is a clear example. We should vote righteous people into power to stop the evils in our country.

Customs have started again with wayo. Which one is, "husked brown rice"? Why not dehusked rice? Yes, we know that it is, husked *brown* rice but average Nigerian customs are illiterate and touts. They might attack the grain if the rice is not brown and called it polished rice. Polished rice is also dehusked but more processed than just, *husked brown rice*.

Customs are wild, devilish and street smart. The government should please look into that and make corrections. Customs are just trying to be smart here.

Secondly, what is all this bullshit about the need for importers to own a milling plant with a capacity of at least 100 tons per day, operate for at least four years and have enough farmland for cultivation? 100tons/pay is approximately 2000 bags (50kg) production per day. If we truly have mills that are already producing 2000 bags per day, do we need to import again? What sick country is this?

Custom Officers are part of our problem. They don't want to stop the money they are making daily at the borders. Greedy people.

It was Remi and now Soludo. These are exemplary leaders


Those that attacked Remi for same thing would be careful enough not to insult Soludo's wife for this
I have said it before, Hypocrisy isnt in the dictionary anymore, geographically, it resides in one region here in Nigeria.

Not even the Pharisees were anything close to this

God bless PBAT
God bless Soludo

Has it brought down the price? It's shame to praise mediocrity. I should be seeing trailer loads of harvest enough for local consumption and also for exports. We are far from salvation with people like you.
