eledacedar: Brother/sister kokolet, I really do not see the reason for this thread. Your intentions might be good but Jehovah directs his earthly organisation through the faithful and discreet slave.

Have you been a part of the special campaign this month to distribute the tract 'Where can we find answers to life's big questions'? You are aware that the tract directs all who are interested to the website WWW.Jw.org. I have read through this thread and I really don't see how it has brought honor to God's name. Yes, a lot of people have said good things about Jehovah's Witnesses no doubt but the name calling, swearing, accusations and counter accusations are not glorifying to Jehovah.

I see a thread where apostates find the opportunity to spread wrong information about who we are. Remember the last question for this week's review? We are reminded on the need for us to know that we are dedicated servants of God.

Apostacy abounds in the world today and their speech violates what is holy. Please read 2 Tim2:14-18.
Let's not fight about words, it will harm a lot of listeners( in this case, readers on Nairaland). Brother/sister kokolet, let us reject empty speeches that violate what is holy, for they will lead to more and more ungodliness ( this thread is derailing towards this). Read also 2Tim 2:23-26.

I urge you however to continue in the things that you learned and were persuaded to believe, knowing from whom you learned them(2Tim 3:14)
Yes! Continue to preach the word, in favourable times and difficult times knowing fully well that Jehovah will continue to direct our feet to the deserving ones.

To all who may want to read the bible online as well as have access to bible based publications, please take time to visit WWW.Jw.org

Finally, from the tone of the words I have read on this thread, some have taken offence based on the words/views of others. Let's show a forgiving spirit towards one another for we are all sinners.

Thank you.

Thanks I will adhere to it!

i have been going through this thread and i can see you have dodged some good questions.
Everything abt JW is lies,misinterpretations and manipulations.[/quote

No question is dodged it jus that some don't worth it..........wil u plz answer me?

Tovot: Fine or fined? This is hilarious!

Fined for what! Our salvation is in our hands and mind u we serve God wiv love not under compulsion.

truthislight:

Mr man, pick a bible topic, state your stand and refute them using the.bible.

I dare you to do that in this public forum let all see.

I dare you to do it if you are a man having two testicles.

Haaa...... I doubt if he has it!

Tovot: @op what happens to a jw that doesnt marry within the church?

He/she will b fine!

Mintayo: JW is a cult. There is nothing Christ-like about the Organization!

Can u please remind me wot christlike means?

Yooguyz:

LOL..... You know, emotional outbursts can go a long way to expose a monikers multiple handles

C'mon make it more clear!

[quote author=irishCream] nigga stop denying ur god damn man-made religion, from the content of ur comment u're one of them maybe she invited u to come and assist her same way some of those naive members of urs do go and come back wid crammed version of answers when asked a question on visit. No witness can decieve me I know them in and out they're not better than an average christian. The same bible y'all read says God sees the heart (1 Samuel 16:7) so stick to ur man-made doctrine and stop being a nuissance to others, preach to urself first.[/quote
Loll .........if u know us in and out as u claim and u decide not to make truth ur own then it makes it clear that u r done wiv learning the truth about God and u r too proud to accept even if u are convince! GNT pslm 37vs 11 said the meeks ones will enjoy prosperity and peace.

Yooguyz: @Emusan, please help me ask kookolet07 to provide the scriptural basis of the 1919 doctrine that has it that Jesus chose the watchtower as the only true religion, since she doesn't respond to my posts any longer.


"In 1919 the cleansed slave class could look forward to ever-expanding activities." Watchtower 1993 May 1 p.16

"Similarly, starting in 1919, Jehovah brought forth the seed of the woman as a spiritual nation." Revelation - It's Grand Climax p.18

"How long did this respite for the seed of God’s woman last? Revelation 12:6 says 1,260 days. Revelation 12:14 calls the period a time, times, and half a time; in other words, three and a half times. In fact, both expressions stand for three and a half years, extending in the Northern Hemisphere from the spring of 1919 to the autumn of 1922. This was a period of refreshing recuperation and reorganization for the restored John class. ... After 1922 Satan spewed out a flood of persecution against the Witnesses." Revelation - It's Grand Climax pp.184-185

I choose not to answer u cos u are a confusionist and atheist.
U shouldn't b here cos u are not for God and if u actually wnt to repents go and meet ur priests am sure they are ready to embrace u!
About the 1919 issue u know it all so y ask,JW are not prophets so if our prediction look lame to u,don't worry ur head abt that it won't stop my salvation and also the truth is getting brighter by the way!
So I will beg u to focus more on God and I pray and hope he will make himself known to u

irishCream: she will not answer you!!! She is busy reading one black book like that titled "reasoning from the scriptures" she will either copy vebatim from there and post here or consult few of their members that are more ground in the so called organisation. I stopped listening to them the day I found out one of their founders is an illuminati member. They dont make use of their thinking faculty rather prefer to copy exactly what their western counterpart print and send for them globally. I pay deaf ear to any man-made doctrine QED!

Damm I count this as an insult.......If u can say this to a multitude that they don't use thinking faculty I doubt wot ur mama taught u! I know peep like u buh it seems u have gone too far to prove ur point, u dnt have to lie of illuminati or any cult and definitely U are an apostate and we have been well grounded on apostate so ur excuses are lame!

BERNIMOORE: kidly identify a single lie here, i have provided a link which you have not denied where in your own volition wrote that;

1, you are a Caktholic christian but dont believe in God, and religion is the opium of the masses.

2, you don't even believe in the bible,that it's for gullible people
https://www.nairaland.com/1253965/implication-tithing#15197331

tell me which was a lie! now

Wow! U are such a eye opener! A son of a priest turn to atheist! =))º°˚˚˚°ºнaĦaнaº°˚˚˚°º‎​=)) I quess he's the black sh**p of his mass
May jehovah redeem ur soul!

Emusan:

I'm only interested in this no.3 by asking this question.

@underlined part; if Jesus Christ is the one given you people command to do so, why your organization was called JEHOVAH witness and not JESUS Christ witness?

Please back up your reply with scripture(s).

A very interesting point u have bought up, plz kindly check john 5vs 43,john 17vs6.....jesus set the example we should all imitate,that's y he told his disciple he didn't come to do his will buh of his father and also check john 17vs 3 to see how important and jesus is.

Olusanya333: Do you believe d Bible is God word?

Ofcos YES! All our teaching are based on the bible

Yooguyz:

I want answers to both of the questions.

Is the boldened an attempt to aviod answering the questions?

U are popular on this forum to critize JW, so if u think u can start an argument wiv me U are wrong!

Yooguyz:

The figures and the source of the figures.

How many question do u wnt answer to firstly u want answer to 1919 now source and figures
Yooguyz ur intentions are clear

unyours: the purpose of preaching in the christian faith is to draw people to christianity and not to your own doctrines which was carved out my man like every other doctrine. You guys preach with the motive that every christian doctrine is fake whereas yours is the ultimate whereas all are man-made(human understanding). Tell your people to stop converting christians to christians. They should focus on the muslims and those who know nothing about Christ.

U mean all that claim to b christains are truly christlike? Maybe ur own standards is to preach to muslims alone buh God's standards is differnts frm human standpoint

Olusanya333: Sheybi u r sons of light? Come forward and lets discuss d Bible. Again i ask u What is God will?

God's will is doing wot he instructed us to do,following his word the bible !

Rich4god: lol... Na you be the fire master abi na you dey check who store fire and who no store fire...

Maybe he's the fire keeper!

Olusanya333: My church is fewer than u but am not save to defend church but God. To start with whats the Father's will?

Is JEHOVAH a church?
U want to know God's will visit here JW.org

Yooguyz:

Can you post the evidence of these "facts", for us to examine them?

Do u mean the figures or d doctrines?

unyours: you can say that to those who know nothing about Jehovah's Witness. I lived with a JW family between 2003 and 2005. I know JWs inside-out and can even pretend as one without a member noticing a flaw. In fact, i'l say i use to be 'part' of them those days. All they teach in their gathering is religion/doctrine discrimination which is bad for one who calls himself a true christian. You people are more concerned about other Christian doctrines than about other religious believes. I'd love JW than any other if they can remove the log from their eye before they try to wipe it off others'.

U mean we should stop preaching or stop following the bible standard because Jesus our mentor that we should Earnestly endeavor to be no part of the World and we can only do these by taking note of the most important thing inorder not to fall prey to it!

wellsaid: You people should really stop this your We, we, we, we ... Thats not how the True Kingdom of God operate. Whatever the JW ORGANISATION as been able to fulfil under the HOLY NAME OF God, Give the glory to God and not to "THE ORGANISATION"... When the Lord Comes ALL THESE THINGS YOU BRAG ABOUT WILL BE TESTED ... and I pray they wont END UP BEING VANITY! SELF-PROCLAMATION is SATANIC So be Humble!

I am an EX-Jehovah Witness born a Muslim.

This is an enlighting post not braging and also am not proclaiming myself here but the almight God JEHOVAH and am sure His glory is Indefinite so don't bother praying about us rather ........I think u know the right thing!

Olusanya333: Even if your members are 2.5 billion dat does not change the scripture. Not all who calls me Lord will enter the Kingdom of God but He that do the will of my Father. So its not membership or preaching but the WILL OF THE FATHER.PEACE

Yes we are doing his will that why we are not billion Yet

ProphetUdeme: i dont judge them nor condemn them with my understanding but i am drawing the line to show them that they are far from the standard of God's word just like u rich4god and ur fellow ave-marian colleagues

How do u know we are far from His standard Mr judge?
And wot are his standards?

unyours: Jehovah witnesses no doubt practise the truest of Christianity. One thing i don't like about them is they are filled with pride and boast like kokolet007 and hold useless arguments like no.6 on the list, birthdays & birth of Christ, death of Christ on Stake, etc. They claim they preach but only to those who already know about Christ whilst they skip your doorstep if you are a muslim. They are very arrogant too for they don't even wanna give ears to a word from other Christian preachers.

People that knows us very well can tell u we are not boastful nor proud but maybe what u meant is we always ready to make a defence of our faith and eagly willing to preach the good news at any given time!

fubbyy: so others are not in the lord?

Anyway you need to edit the subject of your topic to "17 facts" not secret, secrets interprets negativity[/quote
Modified Thanks!
[quote author=Samgreguc]
so, we xtians ain't in d LORD?

Maybe u need to know more about JW doctrines
JW believes that d entire bible is inspired word of God and instead of adhering to a creed based on human tradition, we hold to the bible as the standard for all Our belief.
In summary We belief in Jesus as the son of God ,we only render our worship to JEHOVAH God, we belief God kingdom is soon that this present system will be destroy so we remind our neigbour by going from Door to Door to preach and we belief to apply the consel of God's word in everyday life.
Above briefly state some outstanding beliefs of JW but by no means All the points on which Our belief are different from those of other Groups.

seankay:
Your pretty btw

Thanks!

johnwizey: But why do you people marry within yourselves?

We follow the bible instruction recorded @ 1con7 vs 39....Marry only in the Lord!

emog17: I dnt consider most of these Hausa and Yoruba billionaires as real business men. Check how most of them made their money u'll know what I'm talking about. Most of them made their money by looting the nation's treasury with the help of the past military head of state which were mainly Hausa/Fulani and Yorubas. They assign oil blocks to themselves, award government contracts to themselves but most of those Igbo billionaires hustled with their sweat. Without government i wonder what will become of these hausa's and Yorubas making noise cos they're jst too lazy. That is why their politicians see politics as a do or die affair cos that is the only way they can make money.

U mean u don't know how ur broda's made their money!
The buz they do is jus Camouflage! I won't say more.
