by the time God's kingdom take over all of us will share everything equally so the only wise thing to do now is zero our minds as to whatever this system has to offer then focus on how to help the less privileged in our midst to get the basic necessities of life:

Today we are making contributions because of our brothers who live in poor countries where they can't even afford our Bibles and other publications, there is need to build portable Kingdom Halls in places where people have accepted the truth so the can have a place to meet together, there are special pioneers in the field in many countries where the need is greater. All these requires money!
What correlation is there in these posts?

You're just tormenting your own soul here in the midst of believers.

The cases of rape, pedophile and other minor cases can be easily resolved if we all see one another as brothers and sisters.
Take for instance the case of a rapist or pedophile is taken seriously by the victim and families of the victim, but where both the culprit and victim comes from the same family the reverse will be the case. No father or mother will report his son/daughter for defiling his/her own junior.
Now let's talk about POLITICS!
People are brainwashed everyday to hate fellow humans in other lands simply because the politician ruling over you wants to keep his position. So even if someone is a rapist, thief, ritualist, smuggler, murderer, pedophile and more a politician will overlook all of this just to gain the support of the culprit. That's why they gather people in one place, brainwash them and make them think they have a country to which they must be loyal, whereas your loyalty is just to the politicians.

Please take a good look at the below picture and tell me why those people in uniform are standing like robots for the other two men!

OtemAtum:
I'm not an atheist and I don't also practise religion of any form, but I can tell you that there is no need putting humans under any false control. Humans are already evolving into a species who are capable of controlling themselves. For example, myself and many other billions of irreligious people all around the world today are behaving ourselves. We do not go about to cause catastrophe. Some of us help people around us whom we have the capacity to help. Unlike the pastors whose names always come out for bad stuffs like rape, sleeping with other people's wife, etc. you will hardly hear the names of we irreligious people coming out as such. Countries like Japan, etc who have more irreligious people are well organised both economically and culturally, unlike Nigeria with more than 90% of religious people. So I don't think we need religion to be able to behave well. What we need is SELF-CONTROL and thanks to nature we are having it more in this AGE OF AQUARIUS.
You really tried with this analysis but there is more to cohabitation than you think.

The one and only problem that everyone can't see except Jesus' true disciples (Jehovah's Witnesses) is POLITICS. Of course in every society people may choose to behave themselves and try to help their neighbours in need but in the face of POLITICS and RACISM we are going back to where we started from.
People will continue to kill people in mass due to POLITICS and RACISM.
That's why we need a global organization that will help keep everyone under control no matter your tradition, culture or orientation! smiley

Max - In - D -Houseeeee!!!!! This is the hypocrisy I have been pointing out to youuuuuuu!!!!!!!
You didn't respond to this post. Do they want to use these wealth to run post Armageddon government?grin
Greed, Gold, God.
Your problem is lack of faith and you're not even interested in the truth.
The first century Apostles were encouraged by some wealthy brothers to gather money worth a land or costly possession, but did they enrich themselves like your Papa? NO!
Yet they made the wrong decision after the collection. They were distributing it according to the needs of each member which was wrong if we consider Jesus' word so after discovering their error they stopped it.
Today we are making contributions because of our brothers who live in poor countries where they can't even afford our Bibles and other publications, there is need to build portable Kingdom Halls in places where people have accepted the truth so the can have a place to meet together, there are special pioneers in the field in many countries where the need is greater. All these requires money!
So our brothers and sisters who possess material things that will become useless after Armageddon are admonished to make use of such things now to help those in need.
Not like your Papa who is acquiring wealth for his yet unborn generation.
For your information members of the GB don't have children that they can leave any wealth so they don't acquire it that's why you can never find one person just one person who will come out and say this is the property owned by a member of the GB.
All what they have is the Organization of people from different races treating one another like brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers just as Jesus promised Peter! Mark 10:28-30

I know even with the clarification you will end up saying "it's delusion".
If you must know, people like Empiree, AntiChristian and others zealous for their faith are doing better than you because even though their zeal is not based on accurate knowledge {Romans 10:2-3} but you are just a faithless miscreant running from thread to thread criticizing people who are talking about their faith.
Have you ever post anything worth considering ever since you register on this forum? The answer is "NO" Why? Because you don't really have any faith yet you want to be identified with Jesus and the Apostles who died for their faith.
Well my advice for you is to stop deceiving yourself and go on living your life with Papa at least he's making you feel better with his teachings! smiley

Obamise:
The Living Faith Church Worldwide (a.k.a. Winners Chapel) led by David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop, has come under fire after it stated that it buried the bible in 15 different spots of the church’s foundation in Maryland, the United States of America. Maureen Badejo, a UK-based Nigerian blogger, led the barrage of attacks on the church in her latest YouTube live blog on Tuesday after she played a video of Issac Oyedepo, the Head Pastor of the Winners Chapel, Maryland (USA) branch, who admitted to the act. According to the video, which was filmed in October 2021, Issac Oyedepo, who is the youngest son of Bishop Oyedepo, told the congregation that the bible replaced pillars initially placed in 15 different spots of the church’s foundation.He insisted that the church, called the “Faith Dome”, is standing “on the word”. “We bring to (a) conclusion to our teaching series unveiling the wonders of the world part five. We’ve been looking at the pillar of the word since this month began and you’ll be glad to know that when we were building this glorious dome, we buried the bible in 15 different spots. Everywhere where there was a pillar, when we removed the pillar, we put the word. “So, this faith dome is standing on the word,” Issac Oyedepo said in the video. The revelation led to mammoth applause from the congregation.
However, Badejo criticised Bishop Oyedepo and his son over the revelation and described it as unbiblical, saying that she has searched the bible and it was not stated anywhere where such an act was recommended.
According to the controversial blogger, who has had a run-in with the law in the UK, what was buried under the church’s building was not the bible but a mysterious group, calling the act “occultic”. She said: “When they did the foundation of the new ark, I showed everybody (what they did). And now, they went to America, in America, they were there to go and bury the bible. “How are we sure that it is the bible that they buried? And I’m asking all of you, I’ve asked you, can you put it here, anywhere in the bible they laid the foundation of a new church and they buried 15 bibles? He said it with his mouth. “You see, when you see this type of thing, Hosea 4:6 said: ‘My people perish because of lack of knowledge,’ and it said if you lack knowledge or understanding, you should go and seek for it. So, go and pick your bible, study to show yourself approved. My brother, my sister, I’ve searched the bible and I did not see anywhere (it was written).
“Anywhere you see this type of thing, it’s occultic, Illuminati, whatever. When you see them they bury the bible and most of the time, it’s not the bible they bury; it’s a kind of mystery book.” Badejo also lambasted Issac Oyedepo for equating the church’s annual Siloh programme to the level and power of God via his description: the “God of Shiloh”, instead of mentioning God or Jesus Christ.
She also slammed the younger Oyedepo for claiming that the church had the power to perform miracles and heal people of serious ailments after he narrated the story of one “brother Victor”, who claimed that he tested positive for the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2020 and his test result suddenly turned negative in October 2021.
The said Victor, the younger Oyedepo said, claimed he was healed after “attending Covenant Hour of prayer every day”, “came for the pre-Shiloh service” and “partook of the communion.” “What’s the difference between what they do (and others). These are people that abuse the Celestial Church of Christ o, Cherubim and Seraphim, that they perform rituals. But now, they themselves do the same thing,” Badejo added. The blogger’s video and comments elicited a deluge of reactions on her blog, as many commenters expressed support for the opinions she expressed and questioned the rationale behind the act of the younger Oyedepo. #cpd

Empiree:
Oh I see. You are extremists. So all other xtians are unbelievers. JWs are the only true xtians, abi?. I got you. Joseph Kony was a true Christian that blow up and beheaded Muslims. I believe you gone through the links and your seen for yourself Christian terrorists.
What exactly did Jesus teach?
Empiree:
Back to your question. Even though I already told you but your head couldn't comprehend.. Let me tell you again.
Islam is built on 5 pillars. Anyone you see practicing these 5 tenets is muslims. The obligatory tenets are:
The belief in One God, 5 daily Salat, Ramadan, zakat, Hajj. Anyone that denies these is not Muslim.
These are the things Muhammad taught you about sacred service just as all other religions also have their own so if all the groups claiming Muslims are doing this then they are all Muslims. Now are you ready to know what Jesus taught that makes JWs the only group practicing Christianity in the right sense?
Empiree:
Now, a Muslim who fulfils these obligations but he's not righteous in conduct is still muslims. He's a work in progress. He gets punished for his iniquities if he doesn't repent till he dies.
So now, you condemned all Christian groups as heretic and JWs are the only true followers of Jesus. This type of ideology of your is very dangerous and leads to extremism. Christians in Nigeria need to put you in their watchlist because you can one day blow them up because they are not Jehovah's witnesses.
Omo komo
Jesus and Muhammad both condemned other religionists who don't agree with them, i can't speak for Muhammad but regarding those who refuse to accept Jesus' teachings he strictly warned his disciples never to wish them bad but to continue loving them as neighbours {Mark 12:31} whereas those who accepts Jesus' teachings the disciples must love such ones exactly the same way Jesus loves his disciples. This means Jesus' disciples must be prepared to lay down their life for one another! John 13:34-35

Both Jesus and Muhammad stood their ground on avoiding sacred services with unbelievers (those who will not accept their message) even though Jesus warned his disciples not to wish unbelievers evil {Luke 9:51-56} he maintained that they will be destroyed when God's Kingdom comes:

Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man: they were eating, they were drinking, men were marrying, women were being given in marriage until that day when Noah entered into the ark, and the Flood came and destroyed them all! Luke 17:26-27

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. John 3:16

So if you're now calling people who say the same thing extremist then it means both Jesus and Muhammad were extremists! smiley

You've already sealed your heart my friend so stop disturbing me with your questions i'm not worrying you over your TRINITY, if Jesus could say:

Moreover, just as it occurred in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of man, they were eating, they were drinking, men were marrying, women were being given in marriage until that day when Noah entered into the ark, and the Flood came and destroyed them all! Luke 17:26-27


And you don't see why he laid emphasis on "the days of Noah" adding "the flood came and destroyed them all" it's OK please stop disturbing me with questions.
As from today i will never engage you in any discussion after all what Jesus said about few people being saved means delusion to you so keep your faith while i keep mine! smiley

I have always thought JWs are the most tolerant Christian sect but for the for time in 20 years of my experience with JW, I met a fanatic Jehovah's witness on NL.

Now look at those highlighted phrases. First all, no one gives me commands to listen to them. It is not a must. Secondly, no one said you shouldn't air whatever you wanted to say but you chose to digress and attacked my religion and yet you want me to listen to you?. That's counterproductive. The floor is yours. Go ahead and rant.
The only reason why you say all those different sects are Christians is because that's what they claim!
So going by the same logic any group of people no matter the harm they're causing in the society as long as they're claiming Muslims are Muslims!

I asked you to present one group of people practicing what your Qur'an teaches then you and i will concentrate on that group and use it as a case study to weigh what your Qur'an says with reality.
I presented JWs to you as the one and only group practicing what Jesus taught but you're irrationally confusing yourself saying you don't want to know since there are many religions claiming Christians.
So apply the same logic to your Islam don't come up with excuses!

If you're deceiving yourself you can't deceive me, i've been in Islam for more than thirty years before my conversion. I couldn't take it seriously because of different sects claiming Muslims and nobody was able to present one group for me to be sure of what the Qur'an teaches. You're now listing the names of sects that seems liberal in the society whereas there are others who are killer groups also claiming Muslims and they're ready to kill you for not supporting their movement.
The same thing is applicable to the churches of Christendom. I tried to know which of them is practicing what Jesus taught but all of them were beating about the bush until i met the JWs, this time the group opened the Bible and we started studying it, several times i argue furiously with them but i'm not the type that keeps on arguing blindly when i see facts.
That's why i believe that the JWs truly knows what Jesus taught.
So if you're now presenting several groups as Muslim groups all practicing what Qur'an teaches then what is the difference between you and the churchgoers?
My friend all of you are on the same page trying to present what the society will accept not what your book teaches.
If you're not specific regarding what i asked you then it's better we end it here, all groups claiming Christians are CHRISTIANS and all groups claiming Muslims are MUSLIMS.

Stop behaving like a kid, the same thing is applicable to those you're calling Christians.
There is a reason why each of the groups were formed and the name "CHRISTIANS" appeals to them but if you want to know those who are practicing what the first century Jewish disciples of Jesus practice you can know.
You just don't want to know rather you're trying to group different sects claiming denominations of one religion together because they claim so.
The same should be applied to your religion, all those terrorist groups are claiming Muslims today and writing everything with Arabic so if you don't want people to call them Muslims it's OK you must listen to what others have to say in defense of what you're thinking but it's obvious you don't want that yet you want me to listen to your pathetic story regarding the creation of terrorist groups claiming Muslims.
So calm down and listen to know what happens or else all those killer groups are also Muslims after all that's what they're claiming!

Sincerely, when I said long prayers, I meant deep, heart felt prayers.

Good things happen to me even without prayers or extremely short prayers. I am not religious but I strongly believe in God. If my prayers dont get answered, at least I can still accept the outcome but when the complete reverse is the case...

For example, today's meeting could have gone well and I may not receive a positive feedback. I'll still be cool with that. We win some, we lose some.

But when I said something was a disaster, I meant exactly that. I've never been embarrassed like that in a very long time due to things beyond my control and things that rarely happens.

Christianity Etc › Re: Water Baptism Makes You A Subject To The Marine Kingdom by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:02pm On Nov 18, 2021
Skoonheid:
This may be controversial, but may truth illuminate. Most Christians and other religious and traditional folk have gone through this tradition of water baptism and given names during this ceremony. Most Christians even believe that the water baptism is necessary for their salvation. Roman Catholic church believes that infants are born possessed by demon's and the water baptism is a sort of exorcism; talk about weird belief's. Among the YORUBA a priest is sent for at a birth and it is his duty to discover from the deities which ancestor means to dwell in the child, so that he may be called by his name. At the actual name-giving ceremony the child’s face is sprinkled with water from a vessel which stands under a sacred tree…. Such ceremonies are general in WEST AFRICA and the world.
Unfortunately, water baptism has it's origin in antiquity, and most people just follow this practice without really knowing what it actually is meant to accomplish in the life of a human who innocently goes through it.
The order of baptism among the AZTECS began, ‘O child, receive the water of the Lord of the world, which is our life; it is to wash and purify; may these drops remove the sin which was given thee before the creation of the world.”
As usual most of the pagan practices found in the Christian faith today were traditions adopted by the Roman Catholic church, and followed by denominations without question.
Who is this Lord of the world that you've been dedicated to through the water? And why the water? Water is a portal to the spirit world , it's also the medium of the marine kingdom of the lord of this world, he has other kingdoms by the way, but better to immerse you in water than to immolate you in fire.
Through this process of water baptism, people are opened up to influences of spirits that dwell in the marine kingdom more than other spirits that dwell in other kingdoms that belong to the Lord of this world, this is why you have lots of occurrences of problems associated with such spirits .
Some hold the belief that the water baptism washes away sins. Any reasonable person will know this to be simply untrue.
So if you have been baptized in water or with water at any point in your life, please help yourself and others close to you, renounce this rite, disconnect yourself from the marine kingdom and it's attachments through whatever form of deliverance that works. Please share , Let's make truth prevail .
Then Jesus came from Galʹi·lee to the Jordan to John, in order to be baptized by him. But the latter tried to prevent him, saying: “I am the one who needs to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?” Jesus replied to him: “Let it be this time, for in that way it is suitable for us to carry out all that is righteous.” Then he quit preventing him. After being baptized, Jesus immediately came up from the water; and look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw God’s spirit descending like a dove and coming upon him. Matthew 3:13-16

From Jesus' own mouth:
"Water baptism is suitable for us to carry out all that is righteous"

Philip was sent to the Ethiopian Eunuch and he baptized the Ethiopian in WATER! Act 8:26-39

So don't allow fables turn you away from the truth of God's word! 2Peter 4:3-4

Lindner:
Whenever I deliberately pray intensely (very occassionally) about anything, the reverse is the outcome as against my usual 30 seconds prayer. I've noticed this trend. I've benefitted from near-miraculous opportunities by just my 30 seconds prayers.

Is it possible that my long prayers are working against me?

It's been over a decade since I left my parents to live as an adult and I'm the least religious person I know.

I've not stepped into a church in three years, don't pay my tithes or any of those things they do in the church.

Other than 30 sesonds to 1 minute early morning prayers that I observe, half asleep, half awake, that's it with my relationship with God.

But I've enjoyed so much grace, promotions, unimaginable financial blessings. My career took off like a jet. What took people over 20 years to achieve in my industry, I did in less than 3 years. I may not even take common paracetamol in years. I ascribe it all to God.

I was raised in a godly family. We prayed together as a family morning and evening everyday, WITHOUT FAIL.... plus regular fasting and prayer on Saturdays.

Again, just now, I left a meeting that I had been preparing for for several weeks. Because it was important to me, I prayed really well (many times). Something was telling me as I was praying that "You're going to regret this". The meeting was a major disaster!!! Everything looked okay until 10 minutes before the meeting. It was as if something was messing with everything. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. They ended the meeting mid way
and never returned. I'm sure I won't receive any email from them.

I've been through similar meetings with even less preparations and just my 30 seconds of prayer and I usually dance out of such meetings.

Not just about this particular incidence but a striking trend I've noticed. I can begin to count. Today, I just promised myself never to exceed 30 seconds of prayer EVER again.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

This is the time I wish I had someone who is more discerning or could interprete this.
When praying, do not say the same things over and over again as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words ~ Jesus of Nazareth {Matthew 6:7}

you have nothing to offer but hatred. You don't know your Bible. Abeg shift
Ògbéni if you don't care to know the group that's practicing what Jesus taught but calling all those claiming Christians "CHRISTIANS" then you shouldn't be irritated when someone calls terrorist groups claiming Muslims "Muslims" cheesy

Humility is the sole commodity of JWs, right?
YES, not perfection!
So once anyone is humble no matter what happens he will remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses no matter his/her blunders! smiley

MightySparrow:
So, with the holy spirit as the sole commodity of JWs, they are still not perfect as others, right?
Perfection will be made possible after Jesus' 1,000 years reign when nobody dies but live up to 1,000 years (a day in God's eyes)
During that time Satan, his demons and human agents will not be around to cause any distraction {Revelations 20:1-3} there will be no sickness, food will be abundant, everyone will build their choicest home, no evildoer will be allowed to live more than 100 years before they die as youths! Isaiah 65:20

So during that time we will be trained to perfection. But for now all what Jehovah is asking is:
Who is prepared to humble himself/herself before Jesus the wonderful counselor who will train us to perfection will surely be saved! John 3:16
The first sign to prove one is prepared is to find the group of people striving hard to keep themselves in check under one umbrella.
Arrogant people will never accept such arrangement that's why God's word keep laying emphasis on humility or meekness! Psalms 37:9-11; Zephaniah 2:2-3; Matthew 5:5

The first person Jesus gave a direct Visa to that place is the notorious but humble criminal who was executed beside Jesus.
On the torture stake he humbly begged Jesus to remember him when God's Kingdom start operating on earth and instantly Jesus signed that man's document. Luke 23:41-43

So even as a criminal the spirit of humility still manifest in that man's life, therefore know today that God is not demanding perfection from us now rather it's humility! smiley

What about this interpretation?

Our father who lives in heaven:

God is the father of all creations so before raising your eyes towards the heavens make it your objective to love and care for all because God the one you want to approach in prayer is the father of all both those you view as enemies or friends! Matthew 5:43-48

May your name be sanctified:

God's name must be made holy {John 17:6, 26} in your words thoughts and actions that name must always be the one to receive the praise for all the good things people see in you! Luke 18:19


May your will take place on earth as it is in heaven:

God's will is for mankind to become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} of the one and only true God {John 17:3} So in everything you do make sure that this is paramount in your heart! Matthew 6:33-34

Give us this day our daily NEEDS:


Your spiritual eyes must be simply focused {Matthew 6:22} not on unlimited wants that comes with excessive material possessions rather you should be contented with the basic necessities of life {1Timothy 6:8-10} and teach others around you to do the same otherwise what goes around comes around! Luke 12:16-21

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who offend us:

God doesn't give us marks for our wrongdoing {Isaiah 59:12} He freely forgave our errors so we must also learn to imitate Him before we can be rest assured that our own errors He will discard. smiley

SimplePlan34:
God himself is the problem. He made us unequal which is what has brought trouble in this world
The highlighted is a misconception!

We are all equal before God but Satan, Adam and Eve doesn't want equality that's why they rebelled against God's equality arrangement.

God is using the Bible to pass the information on why there is injustice in the world today, of course someone whose laws excludes no man can't be responsible for iniquity! smiley

You too visit romance section?
I once noticed her post and thought she's the type that wants to learn but the way she replied makes me go through her profile that's when i saw her several posts and comments on the romance section, so i concluded she's just fighting in support of her boyfriend pastor, not that she's truly interested in spiritual things.

Anyways, what makes you think the JWs alone manifest the fruit of the spirit?
No imperfect human can manifest the fruit of God's Holy Spirit completely but as a group God will use His active force (Holy Spirit) to guide His worshipers so that other imperfect humans will notice that there's some invisible force that's working with this group even though individually each of them is as imperfect as any other human elsewhere.

Why is JW's making mistakes in interpretations?
When Jesus was physically here with his friends there are many things he said face to face that they failed to grasp until he start explaining and using things familiar to them {John 3:12} so he told them that God's Holy Spirit will continue to guide them into all the remaining things they need to know {John 16:12-13} of course imperfect humans will err while dealing with the force that's not human, so to err is man but humility will help them make amendments speedily and the whole world will notice that even though they made mistakes they're still the one and only group practicing what Jesus taught! Matthew 5:13-16 smiley

Holy Spirit is working wonders all over the world: signs, healings, harvest of souls in large numbers per time.
The JWs holy spirit is ever giving new lights. He wrongly gave interpretations ' out of context', he suddenly awakened and gives a new interpretation.grin
Signs, Healings, Harvest of souls in large numbers!
All religions on this planet are claiming these things either in part or totally, so are you saying the Holy Spirit you know works with all the religions in the world?
Meanwhile this is the FRUIT of God's Holy Spirit according to Apostle Paul:
LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL! Galatians 5:22-23
So i believe if there's no group where such qualities are noticed then there's nothing called Holy Spirit! James 2:18-26

Note: how dare you call her a prostitute?
A prostitute is a male/female passing seductive messages or advances at the opposite sex, when that one is not legally married to him/her.

So go through her posts on the romance section and come back to prove me wrong.
Meanwhile the above post and picture is one of the WORKS Mr Holy Spirit is doing in her life! cheesy

I don't have time arguing with an arrogant prostitute!
If she knows the holy spirit let her present a group where Mr Holy Spirit is WORKING. Period! smiley
