Janosky:
You can't point to anything untrue in the Original Post.
Be DECEIVING yourself.

You people have said that those who are not going from house to house are not doing evangelism. Simply put, you people are no longer evangelising.

Propheticdavid:
ive noticed it b4 the pandemic like 3years now if not more

The same experience with me... some times I would say may be it's because the Catholic communities in my area have told their members to always reject them ( JWs).

stupidmod3:
this yr they reduce well

cause of insecurity
covid
n people belive less in their crap

[/b]"this yr they reduce well..."[b]

This is the very reason for this article... they are looking for a way to console themselves.

What could be his reasons?
1. Twerking is not good
2. I would not want any of my daughters to go mad
3. You are still small
4.....?

The love of money is the root of all evil.
LORD delivere us from the love of money.

How much is the share of Gulmi Ahmed from the ransom?

It's like someone diagnosed of malaria say to the doctor don't talk sey I get malaria oo!

Adding your state name in the list is not the reason for insecurities in your state and removing the state name cannot be the solution for it.

If you are trying to convince us that there's no insecurities in your state then you are On Your Own = OYO (no state added).

Sigh..

No one is to be trusted. Power intoxicates

Even a Weah disappointed the electorates.

Can African leaders plead with the British and Americans to resume slave trade.

Seems its a viable option as at where Africa stands today.


They should just issue them licenses to be kidnapping us, so all we have to pray for is to be kidnapped

Please don't wish yourself bad things. The enemies know how to make it happen.

I remember when good numbers of Nigerians were saying "Nigerians need iron hand" (a suppressor, a hardened oppressor) up and down.

Now the "iron hand" don come im no easy for many people.

Me I no need any "iron hand" ; any kidnapper or slave master"

pabish:
In a very short and simple logic,since various interest groups have been clamouring for state police,it will be nice we start from somewhere, rather than ignore the calls, would it not be expedient,if all states have their sons and daughters directly oversee the command structure of the security. By doing this, emotions won't be attached to whatever decision taken to quell uprising.

The Fulani also want to have state police/ vigilantes. But where will they have them; host communities?

xproducer:
It is far better to marry, and push to stay married for a lifetime, than to engage in fornication. Fornication, which is "sexual intercourse between people not married to each other" - like many other sins - comes with serious consequences! (1 Corinthians 6:9)

"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge." - Hebrews 13:4

"For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that. But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion." - 1 Corinthians 7:7-9

I love this quotation. May God bless our marriages, in Jesus name.

1). IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE SOUL TO BE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE:

*. Proverbs 19:2 "KJV:Also, that THE SOUL BE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE, IT IS NOT GOOD; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth."

note: BE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE means to be FOOLISH. In other words IT IS NOT GOOD TO BE FOOLISH.

It will interest me to tell you that the things the World regards as FOOLISH are different from the things the Word calls FOOLISH.

In the Word, SIN ( i.e Satan Inherited Nature) is considered FOOLISHNESS:

*. Numbers 12:11 "KJV:And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein WE HAVE DONE FOOLISHLY, and wherein WE HAVE SINNED."

"WE HAVE DONE FOOLISHLY, WE HAVE SINNED"

*. 1 Samuel 13:13 "KJV:And Samuel said to Saul, THOU HAST DONE FOOLISHLY: THOU HAST NOT KEPT THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever."

*. Others: 2 Samuel 24:10; 1 Chronicles 21:8; 2 Chronicles 16:9; psalm 69:5; Proverbs 24:9; Jeremiah 4:22; Romans 1:21; Galatians 3:1;

Know today that if you don't have Jesus ( the Knowledge and the Wisdom of God ), you are FOOLISH.

HAPPY SUNDAY FRIENDS!!

3). IT IS NOT GOOD TO EAT TOO MUCH HONEY:
*. Proverbs 25:27 "KJV: IT IS NOT GOOD TO EAT MUCH HONEY: so for men to search their own glory is not glory."

Note: it does not say EATING HONEY IS NOT GOOD rather TOO MUCH HONEY is not good.

Our loving God cares for our health. He compares it with searching for one own glory (i.e becoming proud). It is not good for one to search for his own glory ( i.e become proud).

As eating of too much honey can cause vomiting, searching for one own glory cause shame.

*. Proverbs 25:16 "KJV:Hast thou found honey? EAT SO MUCH as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, AND VOMIT IT."

"EAT SO MUCH AND VOMIT IT"

*. Proverbs 11:2 "KJV: WHEN PRIDE COMETH, THEN COMETH SHAME: but with the lowly is wisdom."

2). IT IS NOT GOOD TO GLORIFY YOURSELF:
*. 1 Corinthians 5:6 "KJV: YOUR GLORYING IS NOT GOOD. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"

Note: this number 2 is almost the same thing with number 3.

GLORY in this verse can mean BOASTING which is connected with pride. It is not good to proud.

5). IT IS NOT GOOD TO DO INJUSTICE:
*. Proverbs 18:5 "KJV: IT IS NOT GOOD TO ACCEPT THE PERSON OF THE WICKED, TO OVERTHROW THE RIGHTEOUS IN JUDGMENT."

Note the emphasis on JUDGEMENT. You approve a wicked person and disapprove the righteous.

It is not only in a law court that this happen. When trouble starts between your close friends/neighbours/ family or church members and others, don't be partial.

Make sure you tell the person that is at fault that he is at fault, even though he is your person.

A certain organization always defend their members of any kind of fault or wrong doing. Condemning people and religions that are better than themselves.

The Word is saying if your religion got it wrong say it that they got it wrong.

Doing everything possible to help a wicked person win a rape case or any other cases for which he is guilty IS NOT GOOD!

4). IT IS NOT GOOD TO BE PARTIAL:
*. Proverbs 24:23 "KJV:These things also belong to the wise. IT IS NOT GOOD TO HAVE RESPECT OF PERSONS IN JUDGMENT."

Note: repeatition is for emphasis. Number 5&4 are saying the same thing.

No favouritism in JUDGMENT in the law court, in your own home ( among your children), in your neighborhood, in the church, any place you find yourself. The wisest says IT IS NOT GOOD!

7). IT IS NOT GOOD TO EXACT MONEY FROM THE POOR:
*. Nehemiah 5:9 "

*. Nehemiah 5:9 "KJV:Also I said, IT IS NOT GOOD THAT YE do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
10
KJV:I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might EXACT OF THEM MONEY AND CORN: I pray you, let us leave off this usury."

Note: "IT IS NOT GOOD THAT YE EXACT OF THEM MONEY AND CORN"

Exploiting the poor is not good. The most High God had warned. People, pastors and politicians stop making life more difficult for the poor as they come around looking for food.

6). IT IS NOT GOOD TO PUNISH THE JUST:
*. Proverbs 17:26 "KJV:Also TO PUNISH THE JUST IS NOT GOOD, nor to strike princes for equity"

note: "TO PUNISH THE JUST IS NOT GOOD"
A crime is reported to the "authorities", instead of arresting the offenders, it's the reporters that are arrested.

A certain organization often shun their members and tag them "apostates" as they demanded for justice for their raped children.

A certain country "authorities" often arrest and prosecute whoever protest against bad condition.

The must High said IT IS NOT GOOD!

. IT IS NOT GOOD TO DO SOMETHING ( GOOD) AT THE BAD TIME:
*. 2 Samuel 17:7 "KJV:And Hushai said unto Absalom, THE COUNSEL THAT AHITHOPHEL HATH GIVEN IS NOT GOOD AT THIS TIME."

Note the emphasis on TIME for the counsel.
It is not good to do something good at the wrong time.

The advice given was good but the time it was given was wrong/bad.
Whatever you want to do, do it at the right time; to the right person and for the right purpose.

Time is very important to humanity and the Bible says something about it. Let's see some of them:

*. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "KJV:To every thing THERE IS a season, and A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN:"

Note: "...THERE IS...A TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER THE HEAVEN"

*. 2 Corinthians 6:2 "KJVFor he saith, I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; behold, now is the day of salvation.)"

Note: "...I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED... NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME..."
Sinners and backsliders, this is the right time to repent and be saved!

*. Romans 13:11 "KJV:And that, KNOWING THE TIME, THAT NOW IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed."

Note: "KNOWING THE TIME, THAT NOW IT IS THE HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP..."
lukewarm believers, be serious about your divine calling.

*. 1 Corinthians 4:5 "KJV:Therefore JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE TIME, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."

Note: "JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE TIME"
those of you who always find fault with our men of God and often condemn them... Jesus is coming soon to judge them!

*. 1 Corinthians 7:29 "KJV:But this I say, brethren, THE TIME IS SHORT: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;"
*. Ephesians 5:16 "KJV: REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil."
*. Colossians 4:5 "KJV:Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, REDEEMING THE TIME"

Note: "THE TIME IS SHORT; REDEEMING THE TIME" Jesus is coming soon. Let's go ahead and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's not waste time on things that have no eternal value.

*. Galatians 4:4 "KJV:But WHEN THE FULLNESS OF THE TIME WAS COME, GOD SENT forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,"
*. Ephesians 1:10 "KJV:That in THE DISPENSATION OF THE FULLNESS OF TIMES he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:"

Note: "WHEN THE FULLNESS OF THE TIME WAS COME, GOD SENT..."

Our God always keep to time, yes, His time. He doesn't do anything out of compulsion. Therefore it is said that whoever believe Him will not make haste (i.e. the person will not be in a hurry) Isaiah 28:16.

May our God grant us the wisdom for time management, in Jesus name. Amen!.....

Number one is very important.

God of the Bible is the wisest among all other gods: job 4:9;

*. Psalm 136:2 "KJV:O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever"
He is the God of gods. In His infinite knowledge of the past, present and future He has categorically declared some things as not good for me and you.

To us who believe in His existence and authority, whatever He says is final. In other words He has the final say.

Whoever/whatever says anything contrary to what He has said,.....the question that often come to my head is CAN THIS ONE BE WISER THAN MY GOD? The answer NO! I must obey the Wisest.

Let's see some of the things He says IT IS NOT GOOD:

9). Genesis 2:18 "KJV:And the Lord God said, IT IS NOT GOOD THAT THE MAN SHOULD BE ALONE; I will make him an help meet for him."

Who is that man or boy that is trying to claim he's wiser than the WISEST? The all-knowing God said IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU TO STAY UNMARRIED.

These days young people are refraining from marriage, but the Wisest says IT IS NOT GOOD!
Go and marry. It is better to marry than to be doing " baby mama" and " baby papa" of a thing.

There is a prophecy in the Bible that for-tell this unwillingness to marry.

*. 1 Timothy 4 :1 " KJV: NOW THE SPIRIT SPEAKETH EXPRESSLY, THAT IN THE LATTER TIMES SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, AND DOCTRINES OF DEVILS;
2
KJV:Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3KJV:FORBIDDING TO MARRYY, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."

It is one of these negative prophecies in the Bible, which is to be avoided; that is, don't allow negative prophecies to be fulfilled in your life!
One of the doctrines of the devils is FORBIDDING TO MARRY...

The Bible says don't give the devil chance:
*. Ephesians 4:27 "KJV:Neither give place to the devil."
therefore, go and marry!

Janosky:
GIBBERISH as usual.

Matthew 28:20, is your Christmas and annual birthdays celebrations, the teaching and command of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 28:20, according to Jesus Christ, is your noise on annual birthdays and Christmas celebration untenable?

Their god is their belly. Pagans pretending to love Jesus

This your Matthew 28 :20 is different from the one your organization founders read o.

If not they would not have celebrated birthday and Christmas.

Janosky:
Bros, did king Solomon know Leviticus 18:3?
Bros, tell this forum why King Solomon wasn't removed from the throne when he engaged in pagan practice ?

Some times I'm just wondering what is the problem with you.

Ok here now you are saying ( accusing) Solomon of pagans practices. That despite his involvement in pagans practices was not remove from the throne...

at the same time you and your organization are ready to remove birthday and Christmas celebrants.

But the holy words of God have settled this when it says let those who do not celebrate ( birthday/Christmas) not despise those who do, and vice versa:

*. Romans 14:3 "KJV: LET NOT HIM THAT EATETH DESPISE HIM THAT EATETH NOT; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: FOR GOD HATH RECEIVED HIM."

will you at this time accept the Word of God in place of watch tower?

If God has received celebrants, are you going to beat Him or what?

achorladey:
Indicating the non-Christian origin of many of apostate Christendom’s doctrines, ceremonies, and practices, 19th-century Roman Catholic cardinal John Henry Newman wrote in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine: “The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holydays and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields; sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison [the song “Lord, Have Mercy”], are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church.”

Rather than sanctify such idolatry, “Jehovah the Almighty” admonishes Christians: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves, . . . and quit touching the unclean thing.”​—2 Corinthians 6:14-18...... The book of Revelation (2006)

Which one you accept the one in your post or mine?

Ecclesiastes 7:1, where Solomon asserts that the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth

Show where Solomon assert the day of birth is bad. At least we know death is better and going by your previous post it is natural to curse one's day of birth just like Job did.

Did you curse the day Jesus was born since it's natural to do so like Job?

[/b]"...Show where Solomon assert the day of birth is bad...."[b]

Lol, only those wearing Watch tower eye glasses can see it in the "nature".

Quote scripture but explain nature...

achorladey:
Show us why your founding fathers celebrated Christmas and BIRTHDAYS despite the presence of Leviticus 18:3a in your Bible and died doing so.

After all one of your brothers said Matthew 28:20 was given by Jesus. Tell us why your founding fathers didn't follow through on that and still make heaven

The circling continues. Back at Leviticus 18 racing back to Matthew 28:20 soon.

He will not answer. But the implications is that the 1914 Jesus is not the owner of Matthew 28:20.

haddeylium:
Jws do not celebrate birthday because we honestly believe that believe that birthdays have pagan origins and are not Biblical. As a true Christains we don't want to have anything to do with pagan ideas.(2 Corinthians 6:17)

You're looking for the Bible to pointblank you not to celebrate birthdays. True Christains do not need cos' we have thousands of pagan celebration

The following are secular writing attesting to the pagan origin
https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2011/01/24/good-question-how-did-birthday-traditions-start/
https://www.sermonaudio.com/new_details3.asp?ID=18801

In the old times, only the birthday of the pagan gods were celebrated
All the false gods had their own birthday.
The sun god or Tammuz/Dumuzi (25. December),
the easter goddess of fertility (ostara) all have their birthday.
Later on, The defied pagan rulers birthday were also celebrated (You can find some account in the Bible, it's there for true Christains to understand)

In our present day, people have adopted it and celebrating too.
Usually I do get 'There's no sin in celebrating the life God gave you extera'
I want you to know that Jehovah’s Witnesses consider God’s view on everything.
That people tranformed it into a acceptable form of a personal birthday celebration does not make it right(The answer you couldn't give DappaD)
There's a saying that “you can “put lipstick on a pig.”

"A pagan custom is still a pagan custom. Dress it up? Changes nothing! It’s still pagan"

I won't throw you Bible verses and nobody should spoon-feed you. Do your research and answer this 1 question
@What does blowing out the candles and making a wish mean in birthday celebration?

"[/b]....A pagan custom is still a pagan custom..."[b]

I would like you to define birthday, if you don't mind.

I'm saying that if what makes birthday an abomination is because it is pagans custom, then, all the things you are practicing in your organization are pagans customs.

Some of them are:
1. Piercing of the ears
2. Wedding day DANCING
Note the emphasis on DANCING because your fellow believers in the 8 men have always avoided it and held on to wedding.
3. Building of temples/halls
4. Wearing rings
5. Anniversary of whatever
6. Showcasing your deity( the organization) to be better than others; and so many other things.

You are involved in these things why then are you accusing others:

*. 2 Timothy 3:3 "KJV:Without natural affection, trucebreakers, FALSE ACCUSERS, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"

bobestman:
Christians are very funny. If we are debating on a topic now and I refuse to drop scripture to support my points they will never agree with me. So I ask, drop scriptures to support the birthday issue? You can only get one in Old testament and another in New testament but it was celebrated by pagans and during it they lift people's head (cut off their heads/hang/kill). When things don't go well or unscriptural, your pastors modify it by adding things to make sweet or look good to people .

The following some of the things God has not said do or don't do. People choose them as they are pleased. And nobody should accuse another one of idolatry:

1. Piercing of the ears by men/ women
2. Wedding cake, dance,etc
3. Birthday celebration/ Christmas
4. Decorations of graves of loved ones and so on.

DappaD:
That’s why I brought up the below which you ignored? Do you think the below was not a happy occasion—a moment to rejoice for those Israelites?



Why did the Jews and Christians think it was such a horrendous practice?

“During the Christian era, the early followers of Christ didn’t believe in celebrating
birthdays, preferring—as was the case in earlier eras—of honoring one’s death. Their belief
was that only in death was there true deliverance worthy of honoring one’s ‘death day’ [a reference to Ecclesiastes 7:1, where Solomon asserts that the day of one’s death is better
than the day of one’s birth]. They also believed that Egyptian and Greek birthday
celebrations were pagan festivals and should not be duplicated”—(“The Strange Origins of Our Modern Birthday Customs,” August 13, 2008).

You cannot provide any scripture where God commanded dancing during weddings just as you cannot see it for birthday celebration.
If the above is not true then prove it wrong.

The scriptures is full of commandment against erecting any thing ( not just calf) and call it god;

and you are asking me to tell you why God was not happy with them?

Again, before they entered the Promised Land, God told them ALL the things that the people of the land were practicing that He hates.

But birthday celebration was not mentioned.

True or false, DappaD?

Since He did not mention birthday celebration, it's either it didn't exist or He did not see anything wrong with it.

Jesus, my Lord and God, did not say anything about it.

Watch tower is digging histories written down by unbelievers as concrete facts that God is not pleased with birthday celebration!

DappaD:
The earlier Christians already had guidelines to follow based on principles found at 1Corinthians 10:20-22 and several others.

“During the Christian era, the early followers of Christ didn’t believe in celebrating
birthdays, preferring—as was the case in earlier eras—of honoring one’s death. Their belief
was that only in death was there true deliverance worthy of honoring one’s ‘death day’ [a reference to Ecclesiastes 7:1, where Solomon asserts that the day of one’s death is better
than the day of one’s birth]. They also believed that Egyptian and Greek birthday
celebrations were pagan festivals and should not be duplicated”— (“The Strange Origins of Our Modern Birthday Customs,” August 13, 2008).
Even a well respected historical writer who was a Jew in the first century attested to birthdays being a pagan custom:
“Nay, indeed, the law does not permit us to make festivals at the birth of our children, and
thereby afford occasion of drinking to excess.”—(Josephus. Against Apion, Book II, Chapter 26)
Okay go and tell the followers of Jesus who saw him live and direct to confessed their sins to their master for believing the above?

You are now using respected historian in place of the scriptures: I don't believe them. I only know that pagans have the duplicate of ALL the practices.

DappaD:
So you cannot prove that birthdays are NOT associated with false worship? For the fact alone that you’re making unnecessary comparisons here and there means you already know it has no Scriptural support so by force by fire you must find a connection between the things that happen naturally to ALL humans and already established pagan celebrations? Again, please quote me ONLY when you have SOLID points else I’ll ignore. I’m not dealing with slow people today.

Ecclesiastes 3 :1-6 is there for you to read.

My point is, positive happenings and negative happenings are mentioned in the chapter. If you separate them, birthday/ the day to be born will surely be with dancing, rejoicing.

What I'm saying is birthday in the chapter worth a happening that should command dancing, celebration, rejoicing.

I have also told you that the the wedding day dancing that you are so fascinated with does not appear there.

Moreover, you are a Watch tower devotee, watch tower devotees don't believe the scripture but their 8 men.

MaxInDHouse:
All you need to do is thorough meditation whenever you see, hear or read any article. This will help you to distinguish between the righteousness of God and that of humans. Romans 10:2-3
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Organization started long ago when God called Moses to go and free the Israelites from Egypt. After their release from slavery then God gave them His commandments, it's this commandments that stood ever since then as a barrier between God's ORGANIZED people and all other races! Exodus 19:5
The covenant God made with that nation becomes the yardstick of measurement for God's righteousness, whoever wants to become God's friend only need to learn the righteousness of God from His ORGANIZED people.
That's why Pagans like Rahab, Ruth, Uriah and so many others left their own people to become God's friends as they humbly join God's people and live their lives in harmony with the requirements their own people never knew. Deuteronomy 31:12
The chord of continuity was broken when Satan killed all the Apostles of Jesus who were like the foundation stones {Revelations 21:14} of the new covenant God promised to establish with His people {Jeremiah 31:31-34} after their dead or let's say "while they were sleeping" {Matthew 13:25} Satan initiated his own agents and empowered them politically to overshadow God's organization, that's how so many pagan customs like Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, New Year and so many others became the practices that was difficult for many to blot out during the dark ages.
But when Jesus returned in 1914 he acted like Cyrus of Persia to release God's people from spiritual bondage and just like Ezra and Nehemiah Jesus began teaching them the HERITAGE of their ancestors that they never knew. That's why Bible Students like Russell, Rutherford and others were practicing those pagan customs until they began to realise that these practices are not in line with the HERITAGE they want to imbibe.
So the ORGANIZATION had to let go of all there pagan customs. But who could have help them know all these sacred secrets if not Jesus who returned as a mighty spirit being to start correcting the errors of his imperfect but faithful, loyal and obedient followers?
That's why God's word referred to all those that will survive the great tribulation as an ORGANIZED PEOPLE who have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb! {Revelations 7:14} did you know why Apostle John said "i don't know them"
Well it's because these ones never knew the HERITAGE of God's people but after they began taking in orders from the mighty spirit being (Jesus) they were also able to meet up with God's requirements!
That is why God sanctified them and bought them in with the value of the blood of Jesus so that their robes has become white as wool in the sight of God {Isaiah 1:18} please listen to JEHOVAH'S utterance regarding them:
This is the HERITAGE of the servants of JEHOVAH and their righteousness is from me says JEHOVAH!
So even if people like you stubbornly blinded your hearts to the light that's guiding them in the path of righteousness {Psalms 23:3} people like me will come from the East, from the West, from the North and from the South saying to this Organized people: "we will go with you people because we have heard that God is with you people" Zechariah 8:2
May you have PEACE!

In this your long epistle, no scripture is presented to show us that wedding day dancing is not associated with false worship while birthday celebration does;

Building halls did not with false worship but Christmas celebration did.

achorladey:
You can see how he used Job 3:1 to show how Job cursed his day of his birth naturally

In otherwords his day used there means day of birth.

He even said it in a way that shows it is a principle to follow by others. Lol

achorladey:
You mean every BIRTHDAYS there is, was created by pharaohs and for pharaohs?

Exactly.

DappaD:
However you want to put it, it is not supported by Scripture and was practiced by die-hard pagans. Genesis 40:20-22, Mark 6:21-29

I believe Barristter07 and Janosky have done justice to this subject already—explaining from the Scriptures and accurate historical records that the celebration does not originate with pure worship and hence does not please God so I need not bother myself explaining more.
The way you replied to me, is sort of sending the message that you need a “go-ahead” or an approval from the Witnesses? Okay so if they don’t agree with you, kasala don burst be that? Mark 7:5

[/b]
"...hence does not please God...."[b]

Please can you show where He said that He is not pleased with birthday celebration?

blueAgent:
No one celebrates the day he was born, rather people thank God that day for making it possible for them to see one year added to their life.
Of course a year in a mans life automatically starts from the day he was born.

To me be happy, rejoicing with friends for additional, unmerited year added to one's years remains the greatest celebration after our redemption.

DappaD:
Children are a special present from God(Psalm 127:3) so when a child is born, the parents rejoice just as they would when receiving gifts.
But like has been said, there is no Scriptural backup you can give in support of your birthday celebrations instead it’s using unrelated points so that it could be that you gave a word out.
The highlighted is where because the line is drawn because it is tied with false worship(Genesis 40:20-22) and there is absolutely nothing natural about continuously celebrating the day one is born after his birth. In fact, regarding the anguish and suffering humans go through(Romans 5:12), it is rightly expected that one curses the day he was born and not rejoice over it(Job 3:1) so again, there is nothing natural about celebrating one’s birth.

[/b]"...there is absolutely nothing natural [b] about continuously celebrating the day one is born after his birth. In fact, regarding the anguish and..."

A. You showed up here and posted that people are supporting practices that has no scriptural backup;

I then posted that if it is because "it does not have scriptural backup" ( i.e according to your organization ), then your organization is full of practices that have no scriptural backup:

1. Dancing during weddings
2. Painting and perming.

B. You posted that Christmas celebration is associated with false worship.

I posted that if that is the case, your organization should not have been building halls. Because it was started by pagans or associated with false worship ( in your words).1 Chronicles 10: 10; 2 Samuel 7:1-6.

You now posted that "it is natural" to dance during weddings but unnatural to dance during birthday. You have left the idea of scriptural to natural.

Confess your sins to Jesus now and come out of the organization....
Haughtiness is very bad. Humbly apologize for false accusations.

DappaD:
Please go over my post as carefully as you can and show me where I ever said such a thing.

It's ok by me if you don't understand that that is what you mean by the statement below:
[/b]"...Besides, Jehovah is the one who ordered the erection of the tabernacle(Exodus chapter 37) and later the temple(2Samuel 7:13..…[b]
