rottennaija: I will respond appropriately in time. Obviously, you don't know much about the religion you defend. Obviously, you don't. Jehovah's Witnesses is not a religion. They are Christians who do things according to the scripture. And I'm not defending Jehovah's Witnesses, I'm defending my faith, my belief. |

ImaIma1: I don't understand. You mean they never leave?
If you like bring out a million scriptures, i still maintain that not all pastors are fake. I bet you don't consider your own leaders(or whatever you call them) fake. You guys believe that you are the only ones truly serving God. I agree with you. Not all Pastors are fake. But many of them are after the money and position. That is why it's their pictures and their wives pictures you identify first with the church even before you think about Jesus Christ. Many of them don't work. But as big and wide apostle Paul's ministry was, he still makes tent for a living. All Jesus' disciples had handworks they do to support themselves and their families, fathers, mothers and relatives. Tell me what your pastor does for a living. |

Hairyrapunzel: Like she said not all pastors are scammers or fake. You look for the bad things and make your arguments based on them. Your belief that performing miracles ended with the first century Christians is not based on the bible but rather, on the fact that some illiterate old men in new York told you so. Pastors are fake and scammers because your magazines say so. Smh. Illiterates publishing the world's most popular magazines. Lol. Say something else pls. If miracles are still real like in Jesus time, Aiyefele would have walked. Cobhams would have seen. Jesus healed everybody brought to him. How many are your pastors healing? What annoys me most is that all these people criticizing Jehovah's Witnesses had their religious backgrounds from the witnesses. Which of unar no read My Book of Bible Stories? |

ImaIma1: Is it Jesus Christ that conducts the meetings here? Kenneth Cook, a member of the governing body is Jesus Christ right? Whether you guys decide to call them leaders or followers of Christ...that's just semantics.
A true JW never leaves? That's what you guys tell yourself i guess. I guess wonder my friend's mum was disturbing me to make him return. Someone that was born into it. Some people actually have a mind of their own and would find things out for themselves. Empty talk. But let me shock you. Do you know that even if your parents, your grandparents and your great grandparents are witness, it doesn't make you a witness? I'm sure you have never heard this before. See, my parents are witness and I was following till I got to SS 2, I had my doubts, I stopped attending their meetings. I gave myself freedom. For more than 12years I wasn't associating with them. 2009-2012. I know in my core self that there's no truth anywhere else. By 2013, I got baptized, that was when I became a Jehovah's witness. See, I've seen everything. If you've never seen Nepa take like, and they took light at night, you will think you're blind. I was just wondering for 12years, I just had to go back to the truth. We are not perfect people but we are on a safe ground. |

Hairyrapunzel: Either you are a jw or not. Which one is true jw again? Jws leave your religion and are still leaving. Any religion that doesn't allow members leave at their own will is a CULT People cannot leave your church because they are in bondage. Jesus Christ is not the 8 old men in new York heading a publishing company. Don't say Jesus Christ is your leader cause he isn't supposed to make doctrinal errors or his beliefs never changes.
If you like cover non biblical teaching about the gift of perfoming miracles given to only first century Christians up. We know this explanation was given to you by those men in new York. If you like paint other religions and people black like the Pharisees. We acknowledge we are sinners and God will forgive us. Don't bring human traditions talk here in order to shy away from the topic at hand. You wanna hide your weird non biblical beliefs.
It is better to follow human traditions than follow doggedly beliefs and doctrines that are never mentioned in the Bible. They are all human traditions my dear. Following a human tradition and acknowledging it is better than following a human tradition and lying about it saying it's biblical whereas, it is based on assumptions and mere human error.
Since this thread started no jw has boldly stated where in the Bible their beliefs come from. The only thing I have been hearing is how pastors are scammers. Prove your religion is not a scam by stating a bible verse. I dare you sir, to tell us that thing Jehovah's Witnesses do that's not in the Bible. If you don't, shame on you sir. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Stop Wasting Your Time Talking Trash About Jehovah's Witnesses. by Maximus85(op): 7:54am On Mar 13, 2018 |
rottennaija: Let's me list the reasons.
1. Hypocrisy 2. Double standards 3. Falsehood 4. Children sacrifice on the alter of no blood 5. The religion the criticizes other religious groups but crystal foul whenever their name is mentioned. 6. Idolizing the watchtower organization 7. Conditional love 8. Disobeying Christ Jesus with their 21st century doctrine 9. High level of thoughts and mind control 10. Shielding pedophiles within the congregation with their self serving saving policies.
@op, don't deceive yourself. While some people hate you or your attitude, others admire you and your attitude. Same goes to other religious groups.
Watchtower and Awake is the "most" distributed magazines (these has never been confirmed by other independent sources other than the watchtower) among lands where Christianity is thriving because it is the main source of the organization income. Watchtower is first and foremost a publishing corporation, before religious. Their revenue comes from the sales of these books (call voluntary donations), so in order to achieve that, you must distribute the books and publications as wide as possible One word for you. You don't know them. And please kindly check Wikipedia. In fact Google it. We don't sell our magazines. What we as witnesses contribute is a very big chunk already. Have you ever hear from Forbes that we are among the richest religious groups? We have nobody flying private jets. As for blood, the Bible clearly states that we abstain from blood. So if you decide to safe your life by intentionally breaking God law, abeg no die again ooo. "He who try to save his life will lose it but the one who loses his life for God's sake will gain it". Go to the US and learn medical side effects of blood transfusion. Many non witnesses are even claiming to be JW so that they can get treatments without blood. Have you recently read any news from America complaining about Witnesses not taking blood. Our brain is still black here in Nigeria that's why we still hear people saying that trash, cos they are not enlightened. Shielding pedophiles within the congregation, alaye see, even if you push your wife alone, not beating her o, you will be disfellowshiped. If you commit adultery or fornication, you're a virus, you will be removed. Let us use our sense and say things we witnessed, not what some idiots write on the internet. Have you ever seen a JW who is a pedophile? Don't receive the wrath on God pls. In Nigeria alone, since we've been seeing and reading in the news, how many Jehovah's Witnesses have you seen or heard arrested for breaking the law or committing a crime? We don't idolize anything or anyone, we don't even idolize Jesus Christ. So what are you saying? Double standards, lol, we are imperfect humans. You can't rule out one out of ten that won't mess up. Even among Jesus' disciples, one was the black sheep. So you wont conclude that all of them are hypocrites. But kindly compare the hypocrisy and double standards you've noticed among Jehovah's people with others religious people in the world. The little in our is so obvious because of our high moral standards. You can easily see flaws. |

Tell us one thing Jehovah's Witnesses do that is not in the Bible. We don't bring human traditions into our worship to Jehovah. We don't bring man made ideas into our teachings. We don't celebrate anything with pagan origin. Can you say the same about your church? |

There's nothing you can say or do that will stop them. They can't be stopped. World governments are against Jehovah's Witnesses. Why? What is so special about them? Have you ever asked yourself? Are there not worse religions on earth? But why are Jehovah's Witnesses the most hated? They are not a religious group with the highest population in the world, just around 8million. But who doesn't know them? They publish the world's most distributed magazines, The Watchtower and Awake. The world's population is about 7.6billion, meaning Jehovah's Witnesses are like 0.11% of the world's population. So why are they known all over the world? Why are they so significant? How did they manage to make the Watchtower and Awake the number one most distributed magazines in the world? They even have their magazines is more than 250 languages (if I'm not wrong) Shouldn't we conclude that there may be a mighty force behind these people? Or how have they managed to accomplished so much? You can't even stop them from coming to preach to you. Or can you. If you send them away from your house, you will meet them on the streets. These are my numerous questions. Let's find answers pls. See, I am one of them. And nothing can make me change. I will serve Jehovah till the end. Nothing can separate me from Jehovah.

ThePost: I believe we are the architects of our own misfortune. And I fear that with the recent developments on fiverr, Nigerians might just be barred from selling on that platform - or the writing niche, specifically.
Like mrphysics, I too have had cases of rewriting contents that were originally written by my countrymen. And I must admit that these contents were a mess.
Yes, some persons are hard to satisfy but trust me, quality always prevails.
I feel bad for genuine Nigerian sellers who are just registering on the platform, we've really messed up things for them.
I see new sellers on this thread grumbling and crying because of lack of sales. I'm really sorry for you guys. It's not a case of what you aren't doing, rather, it's a case of how our kinsmen are unapologetically shittingg the bed by delivering poor services. Hence, giving us a bad name.
Well if it's any consolation, some of us level 2 Nigerian sellers aren't having it too rosy either, (sometimes, it becomes dry for us too) but ours is still better.
To the new sellers, please keep your heads up. Never give up. Begin to restrategize. Continue to push and I believe the sales will start coming soon.
In the meantime, continue to hone your skills. God's got us. For more than 4 months, I've not gotten any order. I'm thinking of opening a female account with an American girl's face. |

Emmalez: https://misspetitenaijablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Untitled-81.png Nigerian philanthropist, Amb.Dion Osagie penned an open letter to his wife after he battered her.
On January 20th,2018, the Nigerian-born American-based entrepreneur beat his wife of two years, Winifred. According to reports, Amb Osagie beat up Winifred and locked her up against her will, in their house in Benin, Edo State, after allegedly hitting her on the head with a knife.
He took to Facebook to publicly apologize to her .He wrote
Open letter to my wife.
Life is not always a bed of roses.
Dear Wife, I hope you are enjoying your vacation this far. I write this letter with so much love for you in my heart. I am struggling to find words I can use to lessen the hurt that I may have caused you but then again actions speak louder and I will rather show you.
I offer no excuse for my silly ways and I can only say I’m deeply sorry for having to put you through any drama because you simply do not deserve it. I’m certainly not asking for your total forgiveness but I’m appealing for time to allow me the chance to put right all the wrongs things.
I know it won’t be easy but I want to rebuild that trust and make things even better between us. It has been my attitude to correct every wrong not just with you but with everyone including those who hurt me. I am a man who is certainly not afraid to let the world know how much I love my wife and I have always dreamed to use my marriage as the perfect example to the world how marriage should be. I may fall short sometimes doesn’t mean I am bad. I may have my flaws but I am confident that I am better than most husbands.
Believe me or not, it is not easy to live in a 4 wall corner of a house with a person from a total different background as yours. It takes a lot of challenges to get things right. However, we must not only look at the negative aspects of our lives.. We should also look at the positive vibes. Those times we have made each other smile, it has not been so bad all the way. Many marriages face challenges but the ability to overcome them is why it is called marriage. Remember you have sang “Katopot of envy several times” �
I want to save this marriage of ours. We have gone through so much together. I know you have put a lot on hold for me which I do not take for granted. I also want you to know that I have great plans for you. If we fail to plan, we plan to fail. I don’t want to be a failure and I will never be one. I know sorry wouldn’t be enough to alleviate your pain and erase the bad memories.
What I fervently hope for now is for you to give me a chance to make you happy again and prove to you that I can be a better husband. Remember, I am not perfect, you are not perfect, no one in the world is perfect, God sees our imperfectly perfectly. Like you always say, it is a greater strength to forgive. I hereby request your greatness. We all have been broken at some points but we are certainly not beyond repair.
Over 1000 persons, family and friends around the world have reach out to you to express their love and concern.. If you can’t forgive me, at least for their sake it is necessary you do. Always remember because of my work, service to humanity, the devil will always try to break me. If you stop loving me, they have won, If stoping my work will make you more happy then I will. Never forget you are my Godsent.
Just Incase you decide to leave me, you must invite everyone that was present at the introduction, traditional wedding and white wedding to attend the divorce ceremony. As for me, I am not leaving and it is for better or for worse according to the altar of God you believe in.
Darling, I’m sorry once again.
Thanks for being a great mother to all my boys. Happy mother day! Together we can A Godsent foundation Win Women Fellowship
Love Always,
Your King, your lord, your stubborn man! Ambassador Dion Osagie March 11th 2018

Konye1: Jehovah witnesses do not believe in spirits why? Simple.. Science can not explain spirituality in its sense.
Jehovah witnesses claims that man is just dust but that is a lie!! Man is spirit he lives in a body and has a soul.
They believe everything must be explained based on evidences not just mere sayings and promises. That in itself is the definition of science; science is knowledge and facts obtained from a careful study.
As a christian, you can not correlate a lot of things based on evidences and facts.. For example ; Jesus feeding 5 thousand men with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes, Jesus being rasied from the dead after 3 days even after being emballmed, Etc
Jehovah witnesses claim the bible only offers comfort not healings and should not be used as a tool for getting rid of sickenesses.. This is very contrary to what the bible says.
In conclusion, you can not be a true christian and based your belief on science and facts.. Because God himself said "BELIEVE FIRST"... Faith believes blindly.. Oga sir, tell us why Paul didn't heal Timothy of his stomach problem. |

Are you sure they are true Christians? When massive alcoholic consumption and fornication is their middle name? We are numbered above 8million all over the world. And before you can say they are all alcoholics and fornicators, you must have seen up to at least 6million of them in these dirty acts. But if you have not, it's better you shut your mouth. If you know some fake people calling themselves Jehovah's Witnesses and doing these dirty things, don't come in public and say all of them (8million plus) are alcoholics and fornicators.

PharmaGirl: I just got to know of this yesterday.
They believe that the power to perform miracles by Christians ended with the first century Christians. I'm still surprised. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. We believe in God's power to deliver his people from danger when it's necessary. But not all these lies from your so called men of god. Let me ask you, Paul performed miracles. He healed people. But why didn't he heal Timothy his closest associate of his stomach disease? The miracles performed by Jesus and his disciples are not for publicity. And they don't perform miracles everywhere and all the time. The miracles they perform are to show the power of God. You can imagine some people saying they pasted a sticker on a gas cylinder and the gas has refused to finish. Or one that drove from Ibadan to Lagos on empty tank. These are stupid lies. And if they actually happen, it's magic which never originated from God but from the Devil. So you need to identify what a Miracle is and what Magic is. It could have been useless had Jesus turned stone to bread. You can't eat stone. If someone turn stone to bread... Will you eat it? The Church with magic gathers millions of gullible fellows. Jehovah saves people day by day. Those are miracles, not all this film tricks your pastors are performing. Nollywood actors. |

crazysaint: Good morning to everyone, please pardoned my blunders.. I will try to be brief.
My exam centre was at MARDAKEM COMPANY LTD, inside METHODIST BOYS HIGH SCHOOL ORON, IN AKWA IBOM STATE.
A exam supposed to start by 3pm, I left house by 10a.m, mum worried too much, thinking that if I do not go early, I might miss the exam. Though from my place to where my centre was is far I paid N1500k down there.
I got there on time, candidates were already there, some busy solving past questions, some reading their text books, some gisting excitedly, not knowing what await them...
Fast forward in g to the time we commence our exam, we were called inside the cbt hall...everyone got seated. The first think that happened, was, when the systems were on, a lot of system blow up, we waited till the fixed it up by changing those system.. okay the systems were now fixed... another problem was the light issue, going off and on, off and on, the had to change the generator to a bigger one, still the same issue..disappointment were written on the faces of the candidates, parents could not control their anger...by this time it was 8pm..it was obvious that we wont take the exam again.
After waiting hours upon hours thinkin that the problem would be solved at the end the told us that our exam has been postponed, that a new slip will be mail to us to know our new centre.
We that came from far distance had no option than to spend the night in the school compound cold and mosquitoes deal with us.
See the ugly experience we had yesterday... Sorry ooo but how are you even going to pass the JAMB? |

Obi1kenobi: Of course alcohol was never condemned in the Bible. Are you telling me? Alcohol has very minimal benefits that are far outweighed by its negative effects. Marijuana has far more health benefits than alcohol and it's less addictive. Is smoking marijuana a sin?
God made food for us? So who made tobacco - the devil? The knife can be used for cooking, or used to kill a fellow human. One is a sin, one is not. Just like you can use a pen for noble purposes and you can as well destroy someone's life. End of discussion. |

Obi1kenobi: So does all this apply to say...alcohol? Are all alcohol drinkers guilty of defiling their bodies? Are all overweight people without discipline in their diet sinners? Afterall, they've defiled the "temple" that is their body with unhealthy eating habits. I just want to get the consistency from you and how wide-ranging this view of yours is. Alcohol was never condemned in the Bible. Even Paul advised Timothy to take SOME wine because of his health. Alcohol has health benefits when taken in moderation. Cigarettes has no health benefit whatsoever. Food is good for the body. God made it for us. But the God is clearly against over eating same as over drinking. Food and alcohol is good but God wants us to take them in moderation. Even excess water kills. Some obesity is hereditary. Some are as a result of uncontrolled eating habits. Some even without eating too much, they'll still be fat. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Daddy Freeze: "Smoking A Cigarette Is Unhealthy, It Is Not A Sin" by Maximus85(m): 1:11am On Mar 06, 2018 |
Obi1kenobi: No. Because I don't smoke. I can't teach them what I don't do. If I smoked, I'd have no problem with them doing so. I never smoked because: 1) I had a sheltered upbringing where my parents and my army of older siblings monitored everything I did, so I never picked up the habit. 2) I experimented a few times in university and hated it. It's pretty twisted and useless doing something you hate just to feel cool. 3) I've also seen a lot of research about it's harmful effects on one's health.
None of the above makes it sinful to smoke. I'm still waiting to get a rational explanation on how smoking is some Biblical or Christian immorality. The only answers I've got is "smoking is immoral because there is a social stigma against it" I don't evaluate right and wrong by social stigma. How do you evaluate right and wrong? Not on moral ground. The principles behind the law is what we follow. There's nothing like cyber crime in the Bible, it was never written. But the law against stealing still covers that. Loving your neighbors won't make you scam them and put their lives into chaos. You teach your child not to lie and steal. That is the law but if you fail to teach the child the principles behind the law, he'll surprise you one day. Let's imagine you sent him to buy an item you normally buy at N500. You sent your boy and getting there he was told the price has reduced to N400. You boy bought the item, kept the N100, he got home and kept quiet and spent the money. Later if you get to know, if we are to follow your notion, you boy has done nothing wrong, right? But he has lied to you without saying a word and has stolen. I don't know if you are seeing things from my angle? Hence, when God says your body is my temple, keep it holy, clean.. It means even if you fail to take your bath, you've broken that law. If you fail to brush your teeth, you've broken the law. Not to talk of smoking cigarettes that damages your internal organ. When you brake a law, it's a sin. Smoking cigarettes is a sin. Love your neighbor as yourself. It's a law. Principle behind... Do unto others as you want them to do to you. Your neighbor has gone to work all day. He came back late and is to wake up very early. But because you want to listen to music, you turn the volume to the highest.... Bro you've broken a law. You don't love your neighbor. Mind you... Your neighbor is anybody you come in contact with. Be good to all. |

Obi1kenobi: What does tithing have to do with anything?  Sugar and fats kill people with a range of organ diseases/conditions. Eating chocolates or plantain is a sin, abi? Driving your car for a short time pollutes the environment far more than hundreds of people smoking. That is a sin, abi? There are a million-and-one things in modern life that "defiles" the body, due to modern greater dependence on inorganic materials/elements: from the food we ingest to the machines we run. To claim that is all sinful would be asinine.
You have not shown what moral law is violated by puffing on a cigarette. The fact of the matter is the so-called "sin" is based on "perception" and indoctrination and messaging which portrays smoking as indecent. This is no different from how my uncles in the village look at the city girls rocking jean trousers as being abominable. Their aversion is not based on anything rational, or anything Biblical, but on their "feelings" that it just looks wrong. What is moral law? Would you teach your child to smoke? Yes or No. |

Obi1kenobi: Another empty, dithering statement without a shred of substance. For the 2nd time, define what makes it a "sin" or don't bother yourself wasting my time. You can state in one simple sentence why smoking is a sin. Oga @daddyfreeze don't let your disagreement with tithing turn to hate. Hate is a sin. Now you don't just follow the law, you examine and follow the principles behind the law. If the law says love your neighbor as yourself, then you smoke and release toxic smoke that can damage people's health... Are you saying that smoker loves his neighbors? Pls don't allow your hard feelings toward our yahoo guys blind you from seeing the truth. Our body is the temple of God, smoking defiles it. It is a Sin. Our God is holy, so we must be holy. Holiness is cleanliness in and out.... Does smoking portray holiness in any sense? Bring out 10people and ask them if smoking is good or bad? Even the mad makers of the cancerous product warns that smokers are liable to die young and you're telling us smoking is not a sin? Do not kill? Smoking kills the smokers and people, neighbors around gradually.... Isnt that a sin? Pls be guided. |

Immediately after the photo circulated across social media and blogs. It got a lot of reaction from social media users. The smoker was berated by man who rather considers his action as blasphemy and others came to hi defence saying there is no where in the Bible where Christians are advised not to engage in smoking.
One of the people that have come out to defend the unknown guy is Daddy Freeze and according to him, smoking is not to be considered a sin. It is the actions of the pastors that should considered sinful
