Even when it is clear it looks like a mockery and avenue to trend? Watchtower taught you Delusion perfectly well. If you JWs are truly missed, why don't people like her join your Cult in millions? Missing you and joining you are 2 different things. And after joining you, they leave! Are you aware you JWs were once more than 8.6 million?

By the way, What is the image of Satan doing in your Watchtower publication? The Watchtower is about Jesus yet they had to fix Satan in there? Why did Watchtower cut the image into half to conceal it? Why do you need a mirror to see the full picture?

So even with her comment you still think it's a mockery shey?

Courz:

You remind me of what our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus said:

Now this is the basis for judgment: that the light has come into the world, but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked! John 3:19

A man travelled all the way to come and see our Lord only to bow before him asking for what he must do to enter the kingdom of God.

After all said and done our King asked the man to join us but this man who have missed the truth so much walked away sadly! Luke 18:18-23

Abeg wetin happen?

You've said it all!
I talked about faithfulness to the person you vowed before God and man to love with all your heart and you are talking about someone who has not made such a vow!

So even though fornication is a disfellowship offense among us {1Corinthians 5:11-13} the one fornicating knows that he/she must love his/her partner much more than anyone else after making the vow before God and man! Ecclesiastes 5:4-5

mariahAngel:
Is that really the reason?

At least that's the order we got from those taking the lead in our midst, we must work together with health experts to stop the spead of COVID-19.
But let me shock you!
That year made a century that JWs began the house of house and door to door preaching, from 1919-2019 because of COVID-19!

RockhouseCafe:
Bravo. I like your rhetorics. Please can you apply same logic in my defence when l die because l refused blood transfusion in obedience to the bible?

He just wrapped himself up unknowingly!

Rozross:
lol Does faithfulness to a partner has anything to do with religion, I think it’s a personal decision. Some jehova witness guys are players ooo

Are you talking about married or singles?

Courz:

JW Religion =Prison.
Very important questions to ask JWs when they come knocking on your Door.

Lady visits a Jehovah’s Witness assembly to ask why they no longer knock on people’s doors to evangelize

Those who knows what they missed are out there to declare that JWs have what it takes to make them feel wanted and loved as neighbours!

Janosky:

Templee333 atheist at home, Eckist on Nairaland and Born again Church pastor and Sunday School teacher on Sundays
preaching and teaching adults and children "stop taking the Bible serious ever since I saw how unfit it is in our era"
.

Do you know how absurd your atheist beliefs & Eckist mantra sound to those adults and children you are deceiving?

Tctrills, do you want Templee333 (you said "God is leading" to be your kids Sunday school teacher
& Your Preacher on your Church pulpit?

Achorladey atheist shey you wear goggles see the double standard & double faced individual you support and applaud on Nairaland.
Birds of a feather.
.

Just imagine how the spiritual famine is hitting really hard on faithless people! Amos 8:11

How can a person who feels the Qu'ran is Holy be a preacher in any reasonable religion claiming Christian?

Janosky:

JWs are not against anyone narrating a personal experience.
But ,it's entirely a different matter when a narrator makes FALSE claims and pass it off as fact. JWs must set the record straight. Mark 6:14-21 is your Bible's evidence of Christian abstinence from birthday celebrations.
You were aware the OP,Templee333 made reference to Christmas and claimed Jehovah's servants "brainwashed".
As at this moment,has he (or anyone) responded to the questions I posited to him about Mark 6:14-21?
Jesus Christ was in the city at the time of king Herod birthday.
Which of disciples joined the feasting and drinking to mark king Herod's birthday?
Did Jesus partake in the celebration of king Herod's birthday?
Were Jesus Christ and the disciples "brainwashed" by their abstinence from king Herod's birthday party?
Mark 6:14-21 is Bible evidence for anyone interested in Christian view of birthday celebrations.

I shocked the hypocrite!
Ever since i told him that he's been injected with the truth and he will forever continue to think about JWs whose faith worth defending he has been creating threads upon threads on this forum but no religionist has ever come up to lay claim that they're the one and only group practicing Christianity except JWs just as i told him, because he tried to argue back then that others do lay the same claim!
So he's forced to admit that only JWs have what is worth defending but he doesn't like it and don't know what to do about it!

Rozross:
� maxindhouse will not like this. I like JW but can’t wrap my head around that blood donation belief.

I suspect she's been eyeing one of those young and charming guys to seduce but now that they're no more visiting she decided to sing:

Carry me dey go, Jehovah carry me dey go my husband church!

tctrills:
Again, it is his own experience. You being defensive makes you look weak and guilty. If you believe in your own story then he is entitled to his own story and to tell it. You don't know his story more than he so when you defend, you look weak and that is not what you want.

I never interrupted his story, did i?
One thing he needs to have in mind is that when Jesus walked the earth 99.9 Jews including his former disciples believe that he was a LIAR full of deceit.

So imagine if one of his former disciples {John 6:66} is given the privilege to speak about the Jew who claimed that he's the one and only way to God surely a devoted disciple should be expected to come and DEFEND the young 33 year old Jew who claims he is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE! John 14:6

That's why some followers were mentioning names of devoted JWs they know on this forum!

zoer:

They know that true Christians should come and defend Christianity! 1Peter 3:15

Apexter0001:
and that non existent imaginary figure(satan) is in your abstract mind making you think he is in existence bit in reality you are disillusioned

Well there are lots and lots of things you can't decipher unless you humbly make yourself teachable enough to grasp what is happening around you!

Satan is a real person!
From what is recorded in the Bible nobody can dispute the fact that there is an intelligent person behind world politics.

Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world {Luke 4:5-6} in exchange of worship from Jesus! Luke 4:7

All these may sound stupid and unreasonable but to any intellectual there's something more to this because mankind throughout the earth have formed high ranking cults and it's only within them that power is rotated. Ritual killings often occur during times when power is about to change hands and in Africa culture even before the whitemen came with their system of rule there's always ritual killings anytime a new king is about to be crowned!

Today we see people we know very well that they're philanthropists in the society but when they're given the seat of power something suddenly comes over them and change their mindset which we are used to.

Surely there is more to what the Bible said about invisible supernatural forces in high places! Ephesians 6:12

Gromilla010:
young man use ur intellectual to assimilate ur inferior statement which is obviously illogical to human comprehension.u are cosmically blindfolded in ur deluded religion which is embedded in u,in which u are devoid of comprehension,full stop

Nobody stops you from marrying your gender but don't come here to promote madness!

tctrills:
There is nothing to defend.

Of course there is!

If someone should come to this forum and start telling stories about his personal life with his fellow humans who are also imperfect like himself then saying:

Templee333:
I want to narate a story that i believe will be an eye opener to a lot of people.I left the JW society at the age of 22. After releasing all my effort into the only organization i believed was the "truth",i came to realize that i've been lied to.

Oh YES there's a lot to defend otherwise the storyteller would have narrated his story and leave followers to decide for themselves.
Saying he has been lied to in God's organization is enough to make him feel guilty, that's why he doesn't want devoted JWs to come and confront him:

Templee333:
PREFACE TO THIS STORY
If u are a faithful Jw reading this,please kindly get out because it is an apostate thread & it's not good for ur blind faith.

So guy stop deceiving yourself, i'm an ex agent of the intelligence, we dealt with hypocrites 100 times smarter than you are!

Apexter0001:
Marriage is seen as a union of souls, the soul is seen as genderless and the outward appearance of human beings

We are spirits borrowing our human vessels

According to you and your teachers!

chieveboy:
this may not necessarily be for you.

OK!
Apology accepted!

And so?

Templee333:
Mr MaxInDHouse i've given u enough time to continue the story frm where i stoped. What is wrong? Mr I know all,why didn't u complete the story 4 me?

All i'm doing is contributing just as others are doing, since you never cautioned other commentators i think it will be unfair trying to criticize JWs who are also contributing!

tctrills:
Leave MaxInDHouse alone. He feels the need to defend his religion and he is offended by your story. Try to understand. If I were JW, I would probably feel the same.

As a true Christian my duty is to defend the truth i know! 1Peter 3:15

This has to do with lack of knowledge! Hosea 4:6

When God created the first human pair both of them were attracted to each other first {Genesis 2:22-25} they both realized that there is no way out of what God joined together {Matthew 19:6} they must stick together come what may!

But after some time they rebelled against their Creator and ever since then God allowed them and their children to see the consequences of rebellion, Adam's descendants no longer look to God for guidance on how to live since each now wants to be his or her own god {Genesis 3:1-5} with the exceptional few who are looking forward to guidance from the Creator but God wants mankind to learn from their mistakes so there was no guidance until God decided to start a nation that will be given His principles about how mankind supposed to live.
The first man who rebelled against the law of one man for one woman is Lamech during that time Bible was written the names of females born in that generation doesn't enter the record but God made sure that the names of the first two promiscuous females that agreed to share a man was penned down with their rebellious husband! Genesis 4:19
Thousands of years have passed now though God never told anyone not to marry more than one husband or wife until His only begotten Son came and emphasized on the standard God set in the beginning {Matthew 19:4} then Christ's followers made it a law among them that no one would be given any privilege in the Christian congregation if you're not a husband of one woman! 1Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:6

Jesus taught his disciples that anyone who can't stick to his or her marriage vows is guilty of adultery (fornication) Matthew 19:8-9

Why such rule? Because in God's Kingdom where Christ will rule as King {Isaiah 9:6-7} no man or woman will be allowed to mate with more than one partner, that's the standard God set in the beginning!

The true God called His own worshipers out from practicers of false religions {Revelations 18:4} and given them another group name {Isaiah 65:15} so that whoever wants to know God's standard can observe how His people are being governed by Christ's anointed brothers {Luke 12:32} now that God's kingdom has gotten a visible organization practicing what everyone can see {Isaiah 2:2-4} JEHOVAH declared saying:

Let the one who is unrighteous continue in unrighteousness, and let the filthy one continue in his filth; but let the righteous one continue in righteousness, and let the holy one continue in holiness. Revelations 22:11

Of course there are many who were practicers of filth before coming into the midst of God's people but they have learned how to put the old personality behind {1Corinthians 6:11} and now they've put on the new personality! Ephesians 4:22-24

But as for the rest let them continue starving {Amos 8:11} for the bread of life {John 6:35} that's what they chose for themselves!

They're all Satan's agents and the one coming to attack you is no one else but Satan himself, surely you've not been attending the church as regularly as others do and be fed with lies.
So it's a warning that you should be involved in one of his religious activities to prepare your mind against the truth so that when you hear it you will oppose it.
The best form of protection from Satan is prayer to the holy one of Israel {Psalms 23:1-6} as long as you're obedient to the true God you have the best protection ever! Psalms 4:8

cornelboy:
No.

You supposed to know the motivating factor: rebellion
He is a real atheist and the only way they fight back after hearing God's word is arguments as if they're the target of the message whereas Jesus specifically told his disciples to go in search of the lost sheep of the house of Israel {Matthew 10:6} we all know the characteristics of this friendly and obedient pet.
So when we speak to someone and discovered he or she is the rebellious type we just allow them continue in their rebellion, the King himself will do justice at the right time! Luke 19:27

AntiChristian:
Christians can't even agree on the coming of Jesus thread again! It seems Jesus, Paul and holy spirit were unable to explicitly explain the coming. Anyways, Jesus will come back to destroy the religion of Cross...

So according to your own teachers in Islam Jesus is coming back to do something, shey?
Surely you're not left out in the second coming of Jesus!

You did not disappoint me in resorting to rigmarole in your response.
You argue here about ARTICLE[/b].
Even if we are to go by your translation of John 1:1 what kind of god is the Word that he is referenced here with the God? If in the beginning 'was' the Word does that not tell you that he already existed as uncreated?
When your translation follows that with “This one was in the beginning with God,” (John 1:2, NWT) can't you see the connection this opening verses of John is making between God and the Word?

Later on we have “He came to his own home, but his own people did not accept him,” (John 1:11, NWT). Who were His own people (of the Word) that did not accept Him? Obviously Israel. Who called Israel his own in the Old Testament?

Where DOGMA is superimposed on the Scriptures even clear issues like I've stated above will still not be clear to you. You will still resort to your rigmarole.

In Acts 20:28 clearly the Greek did not state 'his own son'. Your JWs NWT put that in there. Why? We are not just talking about an article here. We are talking about a significant insertion. You won't see anything wrong with that. But now you go talking about an article. Do you agree that JW threw away any reference to Greek grammar in rendering this portion the way it did? Is that sincerity (or staying true) with the Greek?
Who is being DUBIOUS?
Btw, Koine Greek is precise.

Look at these again and get sense:
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
Hebrews 1:5 NIV

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Revelation 1:17‭-‬18 NIV

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Revelation 22:12‭-‬13 NIV

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
Revelation 22:16 NIV

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation 22:20 NIV
NB:
Did you see that the Word that was with God ACCEPTED worship?

What is the koko of these stories?

PastorAIO:
I did. How do you understand the quoted passage

Please come again with the verse.

Satan only create unnecessary tension so a man may be drawn away due to his own selfish desires.
Neither God or Satan can decide what whether we will be righteous or unrighteous that is within each person's freewill! Deuteronomy 30:19

OgaNightmare:
So Jesus is not interested in us as individuals, is that what you're saying?
I find this hard to accept Sir, it's strange and absurd to all the tenets of Christology and the entire Christian Congregation.
Haven't you read of Christ rewarding his faithful followers individually "to him who conquers I shall give him the crown of life".
Our salvation is personal not universal.
The Jews were mistaken thinking they only have salvation because the worship at the temple and followed the strict law code.
But Peter soon realized this: "“Truly I understand that God SHOWS no PARTIALITY,but in every nation ANYONE who FEARS HIM and DOES WHAT IS RIGHT IS ACCEPTABLE to HIM"
Come to think of it Cornelius was not yet a Christian but he was known as a good man, God's angel even appeared to him while he was praying for help.
If Christ is not interested in individuals as you said, why did he have to send Apostle Peter to get in touch with Cornelius?

Now there was a man in Caes·a·reʹa named Cornelius, an army officer in what was called the Italian unit. He was a devout man who feared God together with all his household, and he made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually. Act 10:1-2

This man though pagan already has fear of God {Romans 2:14-15} and praying to God for blessings not riches he's already well to do. So he's seeking a PERSONAL relationship with his Creator not Christ because he doesn't know any Christ. That's what Jesus meant when he said:

No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him, and I will resurrect him on the last day. John 6:44

It was Cornelius' hunger for the righteousness of God {Matthew 5:6} that made God directed members of Jesus' group to teach him what Jesus commanded {Matthew 28:20} if he accepted Jesus' teachings then he must become submissive to those taking the lead {Hebrews 13:7} because it's by doing so that they can lay hands on him {Act 8:14-17} and pray for him so that his sins could be forgiven him! James 5:14-15

So he must continue with Jesus' GROUP that's devoting themselves to the teachings of the Apostles {Act 2:42} because Jesus has given them the authority that whatever they bind or loosen on earth the heavens will grant it! Matthew 16:19

Jesus will start to acknowledge Cornelius after he has accepted to become submissive to the same line of thought GOVERNING Jesus' group! John 17:20-23; 1Corinthians 1:10

In the absence of that Jesus has no business with him! Luke 9:62

Satan is the god of confusion {2 Corinthians 4:4} who initiated different sects all claiming denominations in Christendom {Matthew 13:25} with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all in the name of Jesus so that you will see lots of people claiming born again Christians yet there's no principle guiding them as one, they're scattered spiritually in their teachings {Luke 11:23} then they can easily switch from one religion to another after commiting grievous sins and yet claiming they're Christians since there's no disciplinary actions! 1Corinthians 5:11-13

But in Jesus' own group all of us must walk on the same path there's no switching lanes {Matthew 7:13-14} that is how each believer can be readjusted to comply with Christ's teachings. Hebrews 13:7, 17

As for all those claiming Christians but aren't doing this Jesus will deny them because they're lawless! Matthew 7:21-23

OgaNightmare:
Acts 4:12 "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Only Jesus).
The Ecclesia is not an agent of salvation it is the body of Christ comprised of believers who have put on Christ and got baptized in his name.
We gain salvation by putting faith in Christ,
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that WHOEVER BELIEVES (PUTS FAITH) IN HIM SHOULD not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE.
We should be followers of Christ not men or religion. Christ died for our sins not the Church. Christ mediates for us.

Jesus have no business with individuals but the church, that's what i'm emphasizing, you can't have a personal relationship with Christ rather Christ acknowledge you because you're a member of his group who are bearing witness to his name.
That's why he said:

"For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.” Matthew 18:20

Which means Jesus has no personal relationship with anybody he only comes around when the group are gathered to do the job he assigned them, because he's the one who will lead them by means of Holy Spirit in accomplishing it. Matthew 28:20

That's what we're saying Sir, i'm not disputing that Christ is the saviour but he only act on behalf of his congregation as a body whatever you're planning if it's not about the Church and the preaching and teaching campaign Jesus assigned to them then it's none of Jesus' concern!

Janosky:
Sagenaija is desperate to prove that he DELETED Matthew 4:10, John 20:17 and John 14:1 from his own copy of the Bible.

There problem is how only Jehovah's Witnesses out of all the religions claiming Christians could decipher that Jesus is not the Almighty God whom Jesus referred to as our father and our God! John 20:17
So it's paining them that despite all their criticism JWs have proved to be the one and only organization of fishers making true disciples unlike them gathering crowds of misinformed churchgoers!

Funny misinformed churchgoers deceiving themselves!

How can anyone think of having a PERSONAL relationship with the Christ when he himself have left behind his own family only to form a Church {Matthew 12:46-50} in fact his mother, brothers and sisters thought he has run mad {Mark 3:21} when he left home and never returned after his baptism.

WHY?

Because he is no longer the person they used to know after his baptism he has become a totally different person born of the spirit of God {Matthew 3:17} to gather the worshipers of God and form a group with which he is now the head {Matthew 12:46-50} unlike individuals having personal relationships with his father through living by conscience {Romans 2:14-15} Jesus is gathering people who must comply with his teachings and become one body having the same line of thought {John 17:20-23} so the only evidence to prove that someone is with Christ is the group {Matthew 18:20} because with the group you continue living in harmony with Christ's commandments {Matthew 28:19-20} so that if anyone turns away from this teachings they may be expelled from the gathering of Christ {1Corinthians 5:12-13} based on the power conferred on those taking the lead by Christ himself! Matthew 16:19

So in what way can anyone claim he has a PERSONAL relationship with Christ when you're not attached to his visible church?

Even the Jew who have obeyed all the laws of God right from his youth till he met Christ Jesus still told him that the man must join his group! Luke 18:18-23

The one and only evidence that the Christ has walked this planet is the church practicing what he taught, that's why he could refer to them as his "WITNESSES" {Act 1:8} and in first century Antioch they were called by the group name "CHRISTIANS"! Act 11:26

So if anyone is deceiving himself that he has a PERSONAL relationship with Christ it's a lie because without the Church subjecting yourself to the rules binding on all members the Christ doesn't even know you exist {Luke 9:60} that's why he will refer to you as WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS/INIQUITY {Matthew 7:21-23} since you're not ready to submit to the same line of thought governing the body of Christ! 1Corinthians 1:10

Since 8 months ago and the only religion that's able to present members sticking to their martial vows is is is .............
