My brother please let's be cautious here. If you must reply to a post, could you please reply only those who sincerely want to know the truth? I think there's no amount of arguement you hold with anyone who hates us that would change their attitude, except Jehovah draws him. So, please we shouldn't get involved in any heated arguement again cos in the process we may say something we never intended to say, especially now that some of the have resorted to the use of abusive languages. Let's be reasonable, please.
yeah bro, like my last statement, i will not keep on discussing with these false
accusers, xcept for d honest-hearted ones...

[b]I laugh whenever people say all sort of nonsense abt we jws... bt they refuse to discern that they themselves are helping to full Jesus prophecy...

so ride on folks, we r not perturbed by ur negative comments!!!

i also laugh when i read abt some who says "checkout the testimonies of these that have left jw"..

all i can say is that when u decide to go against Jehovah's instruction n r unrepentant, such persons r removed from d congregation... these ones become angry n turn to apostates.... bt like i said above, they r fulfilling Jesus prophecy....

even if u keep on insulting us, from nw till 2mrw, we r nt shaken, if some of us have faced death due to our Christian faith,what then is insult to us.... we r nt afraid of he who can kill d body bt cannot kill d soul, it is the one that can kill both d body n soul we should b afraid of ..that is Jehovah..

we will keep on preaching Jehovah's word to people, n just like Jesus illustration abt d sower, some will nt listen, some will, bt will b unwilling, bt some will n turn around to serve Jehovah....

For those who really r honest in heart n wants to know more about Jehovah, never b swayed by the negative statement of these ones because the are helping to fulfill d bible prophecy..in fact a jw will show it to u in d bible, u can visit any local kingdom hall near u an request for a free home bible study.. Jehovah will be pleased that u want to know the truth that leads to everlasting life!

what a joy it is to be known as Jehovah's witnesses.....


“You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah,
“Yes, my servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and have faith in
me And understand that I am the same One.
Before me no God was formed,
And after me there has been none" - Isaiah 43:10
[/b]

i will not keep on discussing with these false accusers, xcept for d honest-hearted ones.. have a splendid day folk.

"Fear sin"? That's rather a funny statement! Well, the facts of the word of God can never be understood and adopted by people like you; "common rational thinking people". They are meant for those who live by Faith.

You better put aside every weight and ask God for the real WORD/TRUTH. This has nothing to do with all the letters(greek, hebrew, etc) you've so much familiarized yourself with, because they (letters) kill! Isaiah 44:25 and 1Corinthians 8:1b.

In conclusion, hell is never a resting place sir! Rather, it is full of torment, torture, agony and regret; Matthew 13:42.
bro get this straight....

Hell is in d bible and it means Sheol or hades or grave.... its not a place of fiery torment....

job was a good man,but he prayed to go to hell... Job 14:13....

Jesus went to hell bt was ressurected on 3rd day..
Acts 2:25-31...

thus simply means hell is d common grave of mankind...

the acct of rev 21:8 mentions dat the evil ones will b thrown into d lake of fire, yes, bt it sill went on to say this means second death… i.e everlasting destruction, contrary to d teaching that the wicked ones will be in hell alive n burning, but u forgot that dead cannot talk or do anything so hw come they r alive in hell fire? Eccl. 9:5, 10 , Ps. 146:4, Ezek. 18:4


Is there a punishment for the wicked?
yes there is... they will be destroyed forever without being alive elsewhere experiencing pain... psalm 37:9-11... they shall be no more...

whenever d bible uses the word fire, it refers to everlasting cutting off, not in existence...

so please stop promoting this Gods-dishonouring teaching of hell fire....

For your attention Jehovah's word is never changing. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. From your humble submission, I think it won't be out of place to conclude that we should not trust this your present stance on doctrinal issues as it subject to another review in the light of new revelations and discoveries just like your organisation has predicted the end of the world in more 4 times. Another question for you:
Was Beth-Sarim, the Mansion
owned and operated by the
Watchtower Bible & Tract Society in
San Diego and used by Joe
Rutherford in the 1920’s built as a
residence for Enoch and other holy
men from the Bible when they were
expected to rise from the dead in
1925 by the Watch Tower?
ur right..God hasn't changed, but his organisation will continue to move forward... eg there were some bible understanding that might nt b clear many decades ago, bt as d years pass by, the light becomes more brighter n clearer .. isaiah 60:22


do you knw d significance of the vision at Ezek. 1:15-21?

mayb u dont.

How awe-inspiring it
must have been for Ezekiel to see this vision! He
saw Jehovah in full control of his organization,
directing its movement through his holy spirit.
What an amazing representation of the
heavenly part of Jehovah’s organization on the
move!

it seems ur an ex-jw!

Why do you keep meddling with revelations a book of trance that is far above you mortal logic while you ignore books written by the disciples for a clear understanding of the teachings of. Christ.


So I should check that scripture and ignore John 14 or 1john 1?
so check Colossians 1:13-20 since "MEDDLING" with revelations is wrong forgetting d fact dat all Scriptures were written for our instructions!

For you to make this statement shows how small-minded you are. Jesus came to the earth in the form of a what? A man. God is in the form of a what? Spirit. Yet still, Jesus rose or not? Mtchew.



so John 14 5-11 was Jesus lying? I didn't write that verse afterall.




Remember, the head of Christ is God. Jesus said the father is his God, and jesus is not the father.

So you know more than john in 1john 1:18 or more than Jesus in john 14 5-11?

Why do you preach the bible to suit the belief of a fraudster who explained the bible in his own words? Why can't you read the bible and think for yourself?

Jesus said 'if you've seen me you have seen the father"

Let me explain it to you this way.

In John 1:1 John explained that christ was the 'word' that God spoke. More like saying he is the distinct voice of God. Now is a man different from his voice?

Nobody is saying God is not at the top of the hierarchy, what we are saying is that Jesus is God and God is Jesus yet God is greater than Jesus. When you get to heaven you can ask God or Jesus what the statement means. Oh! Sorry my bad you won't be going to heaven afterall. Don't worry those of us that go there will send you people the explanation.
listen to ur conflicting statements.... its just like u saying a son is the father and the father is the son . ..who then produce each other..?


lets b frank here,... a son can neva b greater dan his father....

when Jesus said he and his father r one, he refers to their attitudes, thinking, etc... they do things in one accord... Jesus even said that his father is greater than him... even his father later confirmed it during the baptism of Jesus. he said "this is my son the beloved.....".


also during d temptation of Jesus, he said to satan " You
shall worship the Jehovah your God, and him only
shall you serve."


so just as hw there cant be 2 presidents or Governors, there cant b 2 Gods..

think about it sir....

I am not surprised with the way you've decided to go about the issues I've raised. Your founder from Russell himself to Rutherford keep denying their predecessor's doctrine. Another question for you :
Is any portion of the Watch Tower
or the Governing Body to be
considered a prophet of God, or the
voice of God? Do the Governing
Body or its associated corporations
have better information from God
or have a more direct channel to or
from God’s thoughts than others? If
this is true why has God changed
his opinion, based on Watchtower
teachings, so many times in Watch
Tower history?
dats because Jehovah's organization is not stagnant,it is ever on d move.. n Jehovah is using his holy spirit to make the light of truth shine brighter n brighter......every day....

Are not the JW's pushing for the New World Order while door knocking around all neighbourhoods.
Jesus had warned us these things must take place, and sure enough not only the JW's who are pushing for the New World Religion-but the Mother of Churches the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis is behind the scene's calling out to leading Churches around the world so all believers may bind together once again.
Revelation 13:16-18 Also it courses all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so no-one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Revelation 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the words from this book of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life.
Take note-its a pretty heavy risk to tackle-and you JW's speak with your lips to know God-and yet you don't recognize His Son Jesus, to be your Lord and Savour.
Jesus is the true Shepard-He is our gateway to heaven, He is the light of this world, the way and the truth, the true vine, the bread of life I tell you the truth before Abraham was born Jesus said I am. Jesus Christ is Lord.
good u didn't mention Jesus is the Almighty God., bt son of God...

and mind u, we believe in Jesus n recognize him as Jehovah's only begotten son , and we pray to Jehovah tru Jesus. ... otherwise who commanded us to preach if not Jesus?

b4 u make a point abt jw, find out firstly what they believe

You can't just pick up three or two bible chapters and interpret them to suit your long held believes. The act of apostles, Leviticus, and deuteronomy you talked about were basically given instructions to the isrealites on the need to abstain from the unclean with special reference to animals. Those passages didn't say one can't contribute or donate his/her blood to save the life of another. Just because you know God loves you, doesn't mean you'll deliberately stand in front of a MOLUE (passenger bus) to get smashed and think you won't die, cos what you explained is tantamount to the aforementioned example. The bible even reverence that ; Heaven help those who help themselves (old saying right?!). It's when you take the necessary steps to help your condition that moves GOD and his grace upon your life, but when you're carefree about delicate issues and leaving God to spoon feed you, that's when he'll feel discouraged about your condition. God has provided us with the necessary means at our disposal to make everything right on earth. Where and how we use them is dependent on us.
To me, the ten commandment of our savior, JESUS CHRIST remains the sole nexus to my living on earth, and in so far as it's still valid I'll do all things necessary that's not contradictory to it.
whathuh

so u mean blood in dat scripture refers to only animals, humans don't have blood when paul clearly states abstain from blood ?


The Bible commands that we not ingest blood.
So we should not accept whole blood or its
primary components in any form, whether
offered as food or as a transfusion. Note the
following scriptures:


Genesis 9:4 . God allowed Noah and his
family to add animal flesh to their diet after
the Flood but commanded them not to eat
the blood. God told Noah: “Only flesh with
its soul—its blood—you must not eat.” This
command applies to all mankind from that
time on because all are descendants of
Noah.


Leviticus 17:14 . “You must not eat the blood
of any sort of flesh[/b], because the soul of
every sort of flesh is its blood. Anyone
eating it will be cut off.” God viewed the
soul, or life, as being in the blood and
belonging to him. Although this law was
given only to the nation of Israel, it shows
how seriously God viewed the law against
eating blood.


Acts 15:20. “Abstain . . . from blood.” God
gave Christians the same command that he
had given to Noah. History shows that
early Christians refused to consume whole
blood or even to use it for medical reasons.


Why does God command us to abstain from blood?
There are sound medical reasons to avoid
blood transfusions. More important, though,
God commands that we abstain from blood
because what it represents is sacred to him.—
Leviticus 17:11; Colossians 1:20.


so bro u cannot change God's standards at all..
the bible clearly forbid the intake of blood either eàting nor infusion....

All what you highlighted can be summed as Religious Docility. Am happy to be free from the shackles of Dogmatism that would make me see the transfusion of blood to save lives as a sin against GOD. To me, the group jehovah witness has too much trait of the Dark age that would want to make me take to my heels whenever I see them, but not without collecting their well researched and compiled AWAKE Magazine.
Did you forget the fact that Jehovah gave a straight law regarding the use of blood in time past to the Israelites? Deuteronomy 12:16, Leviticus 7:26

Did u also recall that apostle paul warned the early christains abt the intake of blood? Acts 15:20-29

Note this that Jehovah's witnesses cherish n respect life 100%.

In dire situations like blood transfusion, a person can go to xtreme measures to save his life, even accepting blood transfusion!!!. but remember Matthew 16:25 "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it"..

there is a reassuring hope that even if we loose our life due to our clear stand in refusing transfusion, Jehovah by meanse of his son Jesus christ, will bring us back to life... John 5:28 & 29, Acts 24:15..

think abt it sir..

pls tell me promptly someone that would pledge and sing the national anthem of his country..is dat a sin.... i cant. imagine the position of such.. intelligent. bt stil ignorance..i advice wtout ur country u are nothing..better stil be faithful rather than factful, be humble... resolve frm been differ..or watching d screen its. tricks few among are real . in his grace i'm a friend nt servant. well in his love i 'm a disciple...
“National anthems are expressions of patriotic feeling and often include an invocation for divine guidance and protection of the people or their rulers,” says The Encyclopedia Americana. A national anthem is, in effect, a hymn or a prayer in behalf of a nation. It usually asks that the nation experience material prosperity and long duration.

I am going to highlight some reasons why we Jehovah's witnesses do not sing the anthem nor pledge neither salute d flag...
but note that we place high regards on obeying the rules of the nation except in things contrary to the bible.

1) The national anthem is a commitment to the world n glorifying it... but did u take note of 1John 5:19? Who is the ruler of these worlds government? Satan of course... remember the templation he gave to Jesus showing him the kingdom of the world n its glory...... if It never belonged to him, Jesus would have said so, instead Jesus replied othewise.... n also, The Scriptures say that “the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one” and “is passing away.” (1 John 2:17)
How, then, can true Christians conscientiously pray for the prosperity and longevity of such a system/goverment controlled by Satan?

2) National anthems often express feelings of national pride or superiority.. Remember the apostle Peter said: “God is not partial,” “but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.”—Acts 10:34, 35.
So hw would Jehovah promote a such a thought of pride that ones nation is better off than another? remember he is not partial..

3) Remember the 3 hebrew boys in babylon who were asked to honour their king, they refused... what does that imply? Our worship today is directed to Jehovah alone and not to an individual or to a nation.. "You must worship only Jehovah ur God, n it is to him alone you must render sacred service" - Jesus said...
The apostle Paul admonished fellow Christians: “My beloved ones, flee from idolatry.” (1 Corinthians 10:14) The early Christians did not participate in acts of worship of the State.. so it is with true Christians today. In order to render Jehovah exclusive devotion, they refrain from saluting the flag of any nation. By doing so, they put God first while maintaining respect for governments and their rulers. Indeed, they recognize their responsibility to be in subjection to the governmental “superior authorities.” (Romans 13:1-7)

4) Finally, on what other circumstances is the national anthem n flag worship take place outside sch, offices etc? it happens in warfront! raising the flag high up in battles.. How do you think Jehovah view war? is he in support of it? wat abt in football when d anthem is sang, on whose side will Jehovah be, when he says he is an impartial God n does not promote the spirit of competitiveness?

think abt that sir...
