Emusan:
You can't explain how the word ONLY was used by you when it was not found in the same verses you quoted.
You can't explain why the promise of God is not LIMITED to Jews ONLY but to those afar of and to those Jehovah will bring to Himself as you wrongly explain in the OP
Well, you brought the baptismal verses yourself and that's how we do to our new family members.
Do Watchtower baptize in the NAME of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit?
You can't even post the evidence of the people you baptized in your hall here in Nigeria

Continue what you know we are doing what we know after all you people are not on the same page with us so why do you bother?

Newborn27:
What makes him right is what I need to know...can you please clarify your point Sir?

To serve in such a sensitive position in the church your faith and lifestyle is what young ones in the church need to emulate so if you as a single mother is serving as the choir master others may feel there is nothing bad in having children out of wedlock but according to God's word children needs the attention of both their father and mother for them to grow spiritually. I'm not saying you are not worthy to be called a believer but then there are certain things that doesn't just fit in as younger ones may not understand what led to your predicament they will just feel there is nothing wrong whereas it's a serious matter!

The pastor is right!

QuinQ:
Well, you the one who left neighbor and went to brother just to state your GB authorized view. Jesus Christ gave example of who is your neighbor because they asked him directly.
He didn't say everyone

You are the one who mentioned me in a thread that i wasn't interested in posting anything:

QuinQ:
Maxindhouse will not agree with this. His only neighbors are Jehovah's Witnesses!😅

Now it's clear you missed out because to Jesus and Jehovah's Witnesses everyone as long as such a person lives is our neighbor!

But since you said it's not everyone that is your neighbor can you tell me who is not your neighbor on this planet today?

QuinQ:
No mind am. He's just regurgitating what JW Governing Body (GB) decreed.
Oga, FELLOW BELIEVERS in what or who? Is JW or their GB Jesus Christ? Use your head sometimes

After seeing your blunders you still want to argue blindly!

The OP is talking about NEIGHBORS.

So do you agree that everyone around you irrespective of their beliefs is your neighbor?

MightySparrow:
I don't know why people bother themselves about afterlife. Enjoy this one first. I bet you, if you are enjoying this one, you wouldn't want to leave for the unknown.

OP asked a thought provoking question which a true believer in Christ should be able to help in answering.
If truly you are a believer in Christ why can't you use God's word to answer?
Your comment here shows you have no faith at all in Christ Jesus because these are the type of questions we must not discourage.

I remember OP doesn't want to have dealings with Jehovah's Witnesses:

https://www.nairaland.com/8331769/how-stop-jehovahs-witnesses-calling

The above thread is from the same OP titled "How to stop Jehovah's Witnesses from calling at your door" which means he is not interested in knowing what we have to say.

That's why i am silent on the topic!

MightySparrow:
Kwantiniu

As neighbors whatever i believe hasn't got a single thing to do with you, you are not my brother (fellow believer) so your follow follow makes no sense!

MightySparrow:
You have demonstrated her severally that you don't have faith in Jesus but in the Governing Body. Jesus says one thing, Governing Body says the opposite, and you go with the latter.

You have changed the subject!

OP isn't talking about being NEIGHBORS due to beliefs and i perfectly agree with him which means whatever you believe has nothing to do with our neighborly love but it's when we are talking about faith that i have BROTHERS with whom i'm closely related than neighbors!

MightySparrow:
Did they shun your family?

Shunning is for apostates not interested persons!

You people don't know a lot and instead of asking you conclude wrongly.

There are two reasons why we study the Bible with our neighbours:

[1] To search the hearts perhaps such a person is one of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. If he is then we introduce him or her to our global family of peace loving worshipers where we all see ourselves as brothers and sisters.

[2] To help settle ahead whatever could lead to quarrel in the future. If someone study the Bible with us he will know what we believe and things we don't do so when talking about festivals or events that we do not participate such ones will know that it's not because we hate them rather it's the festival or custom we avoided.

So after studying the Bible with us and you choose not to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses we continue to treat you as a well meaning neighbor meanwhile you can't expect us to be close to you as we are to our fellow believers! Galatians 6:10

MightySparrow:
maximumSide is my Nairaland neighbour only our house numbers are different.

All living humans on this planet are my NEIGHBORS but when talking about my BROTHERS that's when FAITH comes in! Matthew 12:46-50

healthkknatural:
When something Amazing Happens , A Believer says oh ! Miracle . Prayers Answered.

How About Someone that doesn't Attends Church , Mosque , He doesn't Pray , He doesn't Patronize Traditional Worshippers as well .You are Wrong if you Say Maybe he is into Cultism or Belongs to a Brotherhood some kind ,He Simply Dedicate his time to his Work/ Business .He doesn't Pay Any Tithes Yet He Got a Huge Contacts, Not one , not Two and he is Really Doing Fine.

We are Not Almighty God ,Would you Categorically Say God Can Never be the one that Blesses such Person ?

What Would You Talk about This .

God opened His hands to bless all those living on planet earth whether good or evil whether faithful or faithless! Matthew 5:45; Psalms 145:16

When Jesus walked the earth he taught his disciples saying:

"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32

What truth did Jesus had in mind?

Well it's about those having a close relationship with God!

Material possessions is not God's loyal love so if you don't know the evidence of God's loyal love all you need to do is ASK {Matthew 7:7-8} there were many friends of God in Bible times who were poor materially speaking in fact Jesus who is God's Son had nothing to point as his own possession! Matthew 8:20

So anybody can make riches it's just a matter of TIME and CHANCES being in the right place at the right time! Ecclesiastes 9:11-12

May you have peace!

OctavianAC:
So what is/are their reason(s) for wearing it?

It's adornment for women and godly women in ancient times.
Do you know Rebecca in the Bible wears nose ring?
What do you think these pastors will say when they see a woman with nose ring today?
The only reason why Christian women can't wear some things is due to their ministry as each Christian must preach and teach people in their neighborhood God's word and many may be irritated seeing these things but biblically it's not wrong!

QuinQ:
Maxindhouse will not agree with this. His only neighbors are Jehovah's Witnesses!😅

You don't understand something and to ask is your problem.

All humans on this planet are my NEIGHBORS but only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are my BROTHERS!

There are two commandments Jesus gave his disciples which you need to think deeply about.

"You must love your neighbor as yourself." Mark 12:31

This commandment Jesus copied from the mosaic law {Leviticus 19:18} but then he gave a new commandment:

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” John 13:34-35

So according to Jesus the love i have for fellow believers should be greater than the love for neighbors.

How?

For NEIGHBOURS i must do whatever i know is good for myself but for my FELLOW BELIEVERS i must do much more in fact be prepared to lay down my life for my fellow believers if the need be.

So true Christians know that loving our neighbors is a commandment as old as the mosaic law {Leviticus 19:18} but the love for my fellow believers is the new commandment Jesus Christ gave us and it's what he did for his friends! John 15:13 compare to Galatians 6:10

APOPTOSIS:
Always talking Nonsense
Always saying Trash.
So Iranian, Indian and Masai ladies who wear such are all prostitutes.
Keep Talking Rubbish!.
Educated but no common sense!

Who are customers to these prostitutes?

sonmvayina:
And what does the worship entails?
They only gather to offer sacrifices to God.
And because there was only one Torah , they gather to read from it. Now it is mass produced, every body can read it now and follow it. W
What is the purpose of gathering again?

Why do Jews have TEACHERS if it's just about reading and nothing more?

Lol!
"Integrity on the line" from someone who don't care a bit about integrity!

Banned again!

Wahala Yaaaso!

You're welcome back jàre!

Achorladey was banned twice so he tried to use the other account (Emusan) but the grievances couldn't allow him to compose himself politely so he got banned again!

sonmvayina:
Worship what?
God only give us laws to keep.
Practice what again?
I guess you are obsessed with being part of a group..
Because I need to be in a cult before I honor my parents....
Continue oh

I must associate with and continue to encourage people who are honoring their parents like i do so if they are not organized how do we know the best way to honor our parents?

Each time organized worshipers are mentioned you always call them cult yet throughout the Torah worshipers of the Abrahamic God assemble to worship in the Temple or Synagogue.

sonmvayina:
Is there anywhere God said we should be in a group?
We just live everyday keeping his commandments and living life...we don't need to be members of a cult..

Look! How good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! Psalms 133:1

That's what the true God wants for His worshipers not confusion where you are not even aware of where your fellow worshipers are or what they practice!

It's not easy chatting with a novice who just feel like arguing!

Arda1000:
lolz yess with no evidence

Evidence is everywhere but if you choose not to see it that's your cup of coffee!

QuinQ:
Jesus is God. Pharisees were men

NO!
Jesus always meditate on God's word all his life {Psalms 1:1-3} unlike Pharisees (your type) who meditates on politics as your most active section here that's what makes him wiser. Psalms 119:99

achorladey:
OP can be become twenty and single out Jehovah's witnesses while thousands and millions don't come to Nairaland seeking validation of which religious organization to join.
Console your noisemaking brains

They all emphasized on the fine qualities of a true religion! Matthew 5:14-16

APOPTOSIS:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESS is operating at a different level.
They have been steadfast, resolute and committed.
I hold no grudge against them. They downplay commercialization of churches.
They entertain persecutions a lot, in fact more than several Christian bodies.
Seems in their church everyone is at same level irrespective of your degree, financial acquaintance and contacts.
And it seems they obey the Bible the most:
-They hardly disturb neighbors during prayers.
-They frown at intimidation and flamboyant lifestyles.
-They ensure financial gifts are covered and never displeased at whatever they recieve.
-Their members would make good politicians but they frown at politics
I respect them. I judge based on actions and not what I'm told.

BafanaBafana:
Quite true. JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are actually one of the few denominations who are still following Christ. Most churches now are headed by motivational speakers who only use the name of Jesus to preach other things. The goal is to attract members to their church and the members will bring the money.
Shikena!

Oye0404:
well said, once had a witness DAT comes around for years, truth is,dis guys are so caring and accommodating. lots if misconceptions about dem..

XXLDICK:
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.
They do not pay tithes. They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized. They are my favourite.
Cons:
They do not recite the national anthem.
They do not participate in elections.
They do not accept blood transfusion.

freethinker01:
Tho I don't like their disturbance, I'd have to say they're far better than all their Christian tithe whoring counterparts.

boss1310:
The way they are hated makes me to think sometimes they might be the true Christians but I might be wrong.

Deway52:
I am convinced that JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES are the real religion, they do everything in line with the bible.
Na small time remain for me now, I don enter. If everybody in the world is a jw the world would be a better place.

Love800:
I would love to be a JEHOVAH'S WITNESS, because of their gentle life. Relaxed service and programs(not those stressful and loud types), and serenity of their church yard. Infact, its this serenity of their abode that blows my mind!

But the thing that worries me, is their misled teachings. How can you say that we are not going to die, but remain on earth and unite with our love ones and live happily together forever!

QuinQ:
Well, this person below was in it for 55 years. I don't think you know better than him. He called it a CULT.

So Pharisees knows better than Jesus shey?
