Yes, they're Christians. That doesn't mean they're perfect people.
Being a Christian is simply believing in the death and resurrection of Christ. Fighting wars or not fighting wars is not what makes anybody a Christian.

YES!
And Jesus will bless them for killing the people whom they supposed to save through their preaching and teaching {1Timothy 4:16} and also kill their fellow believers with whom they supposed to preach about the Prince of Peace during wars in support of politicians! John 13:34-35

Guy you are a real disciples of Christ jọọ don't mind me!

trendingnigeria:
This is huge

Would you like to know the truth on this matter?

World Empire Of False Religion is called "BABYLON THE GREAT" in the Bible {Revelations 17:5} Jesus refer to this body as mother of prostitute and all the disgusting things of the earth.
WHY?
Because this body claims they belong to God or Christ but when it comes to the spilling of innocent blood they connives with politicians sending their members to war and blessing weapons of mass destruction in the name of Jesus!
When their members who claims they are Christians meet at the battlefield Satan jubilates seeing those claiming Christians fighting and killing one another over the Kingdom (government) of the world yet the same people always say they belong to Jesus who said his own kingdom is no part of the world {John 18:36} and his disciples are also no part of the world! John 17:14-16
True Christians use God's word (Bible) to unify themselves {John 17:17} therefore they have the same line of thought {John 17:22; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3} so nothing can make them deviate from the love of Christ {Romans 8:32} who taught them to love their neighbours as ourselves {Mark 12:31} and commanded them to have the same king of love that he has for them among themselves! John 13:34-35

So when different religions claiming they belong to Jesus join other religions and giving their support to world rulers they are indirectly saying they belong to Satan the dragon {Revelations 13:2} who has come to kill, steal and destroy lives! John 10:10

True Christians are earnestly praying for God's Kingdom to come {Matthew 6:10} we are no part of the world! John 15:11-19

Thanks for reading!

Remember God PREPARED the garden and put all the creatures there to start procreating so if the creature made to rule over them leaves the garden then all his subjects must leave with him.
Only humans had the prospect of living forever {Ecclesiastes 3:11} until Adam and Eve rebel against God all creatures have expiration date except man!

Aemmyjah:
All rumors are false. Yes or No
Remember that rumor is an archaic word. Should I show you the definition or you want to check it for yourself.

Anytimes you engage this people in a discussion about faith in God you will find out they have no faith at all yet they dubiously turn to emotional blackmail, is this not the same person who said he will pray for JWs?
Just imagine someone who claims Jesus' own statement makes no sense to him yet he wants to pray for JWs that takes all of Jesus' words to heart and the hypocrite will claim he wants to pray in the name of the same Jesus whose words makes no sense to him!

CRIMEA

Six Years in a Penal Colony for "Expressing Gratitude" at Religious Meetings. Court Convicts Two of Jehovah's Witnesses in Crimea
January 15, 2025 Crimea

The Gagarinsky District Court sentenced Viktor Kudinov and Sergey Zhigalov to 6 years in a penal colony. This verdict was announced on January 14, 2025, by Judge Sergey Korotun. He named holding worship services permitted by law extremism. More than 100 people came to the courthouse to support the believers.

According to the defense, Kudinov and Zhigalov were unreasonably equated with criminals. The indictment states that the defendants participated "in the organization and conduct of [worship services], which is expressed in setting tasks for other participants, challenging participants to answer, as well as in the subsequent expression of gratitude for these answers." Sergey Zhigalov, 53, denied the charges in his final statement: "The video from the services is proof that I love my brothers and sisters in faith, worship God peacefully and fulfill his commandment 'let us not leave our congregation . . . but let us encourage one another" recorded in the Bible."

In August 2022, searches were carried out in the homes of Jehovah's Witnesses in Sevastopol. Sergey Zhigalov and Viktor Kudinov were detained, placed under house arrest, and later under a ban on certain actions. Senior investigator of the Investigative Committee M.E. Ukrainskiy opened criminal cases against the men, which were merged 5 months later. The prosecution line is based on the testimony of a secret witness Nadezhda Dykman under the pseudonym Ivanova. Another witness for the prosecution is S. B. Korkushko. According to Zhigalov, this man has been testifying in various cases against Crimean Jehovah's Witnesses for five years, but at the same time he does not know him personally.

During the closed court hearings, the defense drew the court's attention to the fact that the religious examination was made with violations. For example, the sources used by the expert are not scientific. Also, according to the defenders, the conclusion contains negative assessments of the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, which go beyond the competence of the expert.

Viktor Kudinov, 55, is a well-known citizen of Sevastopol. At one of the hearings, the defense filed a motion to attach to the case the signatures of more than 100 colleagues in his defense. Victor shared, "I was a little worried that I would be fired. But when I returned from house arrest, I was greeted with great joy at work. They hugged, supported, questioned. Many employees from other faiths said they prayed for my well-being."

Sergey Zhigalov also has a good reputation. During the hearings, the court was provided with a description of the believer from a deputy of the local legislative assembly: "In communication, he is kind, not aggressive, very neat, has no bad habits. He participated in the improvement of the district. I know [him] as a decent, honest, non-confrontational person."

Six years ago, the Presidential Council for Human Rights asked the Prosecutor General's Office to protect the constitutional right of Jehovah's Witnesses to freedom of religion and to stop persecution for reading the Bible together and holding worship services. However, the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses is gaining momentum. In Crimea alone, in the last two years, the number of defendants has doubled, from 16 to 32. Eleven believers were sent to penal colonies for long terms.

"a currently circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful truth."

Even with the definition your dictionary gave you it's exactly what we've been telling you since.

Current circulating story or report of uncertain or doubtful TRUTH.

With the above rumors of war is correct!

Kingsempires:
na di situation of the country na e also contribute to the cause of people turning to atheist in Nigeria. May God help us 🥺

NO!
Wickedness deeply rooted in the hearts of unbelievers lead them to atheism.

Read what the Bible says again:


In his pride the wicked man does not seek God; in all his thoughts there is no room for God. ‭Psalms 10:4 NIV‬


They are using subtle appeals to woo the unsuspecting people but ask them if God is here what exactly do they expect Him to do about the situation and watch how the wickedness in their hearts will be exposed through their haughtiness.

ThatWriterBoy:
I see your point, but how can we know that it wasn't for free? Couldn't Joseph have just declared that 1/5th of all produce goes to the king and the Egyptian farmers complied?

Farmers don't believe in storage of food what they want is money so if you go to a remote area where farmers are working today and tell them to bring everything they harvested for money as long as they won't have to go hawking it in the market they will gladly comply.
That's what happened back then, Pharaoh paid for their services while each of them were using the money to buy things they don't even need not until they later discovered they will die of hunger they began returning everything back to Pharaoh in exchange for food to survive!

DaddyCoool:
You obviously missed this my post:

Oh I understand "rumors of wars". It's just annoying to me because I know It's anachronistic. There are no "rumors of wars" today because info is at our fingertips - you'd even see video of the war right on your phone! While at the time Christ was speaking info was mainly by mouth and hard to verify - fertile ground for rumors!

The truth is there are many things that's happening now but since you don't like those involved you can never see grasp the meaning.

I have been quoting and sighting Bible verses to show you the fulfillment of prophecies found written in the Bible but since you hate to hear that you must humble yourself to learn from the group that's fulfilling these prophecies you just don't want to hear it.

I wasn't born a JW but after reading the Bible, studying it diligently, meditating thoroughly and fervently praying i realized that there is a global group that is fulfilling all these prophecies and just as Jesus foretold about them they will be hated by people of all nations! Matthew 24:9

Why would they be hated if they are his disciples?
Everybody today loves to hear and speak about Jesus nah!

Well the truth is they will be hated for the same reason Jews hated Jesus and his disciples back then.

So it's wise to figure out why Jews hated Jesus despite all the miraculous works he performed in their community.

Jews are arrogant people who feels they should dominate the world since their God is the Almighty but Jesus explained to them that that's not the reason God chose their forefathers rather they are to lead other nations to salvation through a HARD WORK that'll be assigned to them.
They must leave their comfort zone to go and preach to people they had been treating with contempt in the past and to hear the promised Messiah (Christ) telling them to kiss the feet of pagans like Romans that's been dominating them for years!
They concluded that Jesus is out of his senses because they will not do such a thing even if God should come down to tell them and that's why they discarded all the signs Jesus performed and decided to kill him! John 11:48, 53

Why do people like you hate Jehovah's Witnesses today?

We are ready to humble ourselves before anyone including strangers {1Corinthians 9:19-23} just to pass the message Jesus commanded us to them {Matthew 28:19-20} no tribe or nation will accept that because it means even though the stranger is from a tribe or nation that's been enemy to our people for centuries or decades we must strive to make peace just because of Jesus! Romans 12:18
That's why we must anticipate hatred not from strangers but from our own people for this type of faith! Matthew 10:35-36
Satan has established many religions today all claiming Christians but are they also doing this difficult work?
NO!
Instead they are living like all other people with no restraint related to what Jesus commanded that's why Jesus said he will declare to them that he never knew them as they are not following his rules to become peaceable with everyone but still doing things like those without faith in Christ! Matthew 7:21-23

Once again i must tell you this though it's bitter in the stomach but those who have tasted it with faith in God now know it's sweetness in their mouth! Revelations 10:9-10 compare to Psalms 119:103

We are not happy telling you people that you're not true Christians but that's the bitter part of truth!

Back then who was the finance minister in Egypt?
How many people feeds from the table of the finance minister of the world's richest country?

The Egyptians didn't know what Pharaoh had in mind when Joseph was gathering the food definitely it wasn't for free but they were paid for their services not until the beginning of the famine when they later realized that there is no food elsewhere except in the domes Pharaoh built.

DaddyCoool:
He was talking about the Father, NOT some JW higher-up manipulators!
Be·elʹze·bub DOESN'T translate to robot

It's OK if you don't understand "rumors of war" then i have been wasting my precious time because there still remains lots of things that you can't just understand even when it's happening right before your eyes!

Kingsempires:
I don't understand were you are really going but what I meant is that me and him are from the same state. Nothing else 🙂.

It's OK!

sonmvayina:
Whatever way you want to pass your message..it's not my problem.

Exactly and same here!

sonmvayina:
Have you ever thought for your self?
Or you want to start now?
There are stories that teach us, either morally or spiritually... You only need wisdom to decifer..

We are saying the same thing just that you want to impose your own opinion here.
If you are SATISFIED with yours and i'm SATISFIED with mine there's no need for stories!

GothamCities:
They're christians, just like yourself.

You acknowledged people killing their neighbours and fellow worshipers as Christians shey?
Well that's where we JWs differ from you people because whoever disobey Christ's orders is not a Christian to us!

GothamCities:
How do they relate with me and all other Christians worldwide?

You acknowledged them as your fellow believers even though they are killing their fellow believers in other countries so they are related to you!

GothamCities:
Those who are alive and those who are dead will see him.
Did you see your fake Jesus when he came in 1914?

At least the dead will see your own Jesus after resurrection just that you still prefer to call them "DEAD" despite the fact that they've been raised from the dead!

sonmvayina:
You are not that intelligent for that kind of task. Yours is to follow blindly.

Here you go again so i must follow what you say and no longer think for myself shey?

sonmvayina:
You said you never going to research on anything....how do you make progress in life without research?

Stop deceiving yourself my guy.
People make research to achieve and once they have achieved the desired they turn to something else.
Regarding research about God i have gotten what i desire to know so there's no further need for that it doesn't mean i'm not making research about how to make more money nah!

sonmvayina:
That is just the Hallmark of a cult...
You will never make any meaningful progress in your life....

When the other guy insulted you it's time to talk about polishing your shoes but now is the time to curse someone for not agreeing with you.
Na wah for you o!

sonmvayina:
Please do..
It has to have a moral or spiritual truth in it. Of course,I will read it and you can explain the message you are passing to me... No wahala.

You said your own people in Eṣùláàlú local government North, West, South and East local government of a state have fabricated their own stories yet you want me to listen to another fabricated stories from God knows where.
Why can't i just fabricate my own nah?

sonmvayina:
Ok...I don't want to be brainwashed.
I want to research and make up my own mind.

Brainwashing that's makes me and my neighbour cohabit peacefully.
Ọmọ i don't need further research jọọ!

sonmvayina:
But there are spiritual truths in the stories..learn it.

Ọmọ everyone can fabricate his or her own nah so why learning from someone's fabrication when i can equally fabricate my own stories?

sonmvayina:
It's still a cult though...

I love it that way!

sonmvayina:
They are characters in a book of myths collection.

So it's all a lie if there is no Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses everything was fabricated by someone.
Thanks for your time!

Aemmyjah:
Anyone that studied English knows that rumors was an archaic synonym for news or reports
Again
If you hear that Boko haram entered your village, will rumors of war and violence not start circulating?

Please just focus on the message because Satan wants to use them against God's organization but with your manner and response you are a winner in Jesus name! Romans 12:21

How is Uyo now?
Ukraine has started persecuting our brothers too just like Russia please let's keep our brothers in mind as we pray for them! Romans 8:26

sonmvayina:
The Torah is not a history textbook. It is a manual for moral and spiritual instructions..They use it in the synagogue..not in the class room...
Keep up please.

Why are you dodging the question?

Here is it again:

So Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and Joshua were never real people they are just characters in Ezra's nightmare?

YES or NO

sonmvayina:
But you people are not following the Torah injunctions...you can't be on the path of Jehovah when you are disobeying his laws, does not make any sense...

At least i'm at peace with my neighbours and fellow worshipers that's enough for my own God!

DaddyCoool:
True Christians are NOT robots in an obvious cult. Thing is, you're no longer even trying to camouflage that it is a coercive cult where you dare not deviate an inch from what you're told to THINK!

Our Master, Lord and King said the same thing:

"I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative. Just as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me" John 5:30

And he said you people will call us a cult for imitating him:


A student is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. It is enough for the student to become as his teacher, and the slave as his master. If people have called the master of the house Be·elʹze·bub, how much more those of his household? Matthew 10:24-25

So we are his true followers!

DaddyCoool:
So please stop comparing your robotic selves to thinking followers of Christ like Peter and Paul

Come and stop me from saying the truth nah! Act 4:19-20

Jesus said something you're kicking against it due to rebellion embedded in your heart yet you want to claim you are for the same Jesus.

Ọmọ you can do that but don't just come close to Jehovah's Witnesses or say anything against us because i will prove to you that only Jehovah's Witnesses are true Christians!

You people can continue with your Jesus is God doctrine at least you now know that falsehood can never ever result to oneness in thought because Jesus only prayed for oneness in thought among his true disciples {John 17:22} if such a thing is possible elsewhere Jesus won't beg his father to do what unbelievers can do without the word of God! John 17:17

DaddyCoool:
If JW says Gentiles are to be curcumcused, will there even be a discussion about it between you and your "brother"?

We are ORDERLY {1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3} that's why there is no arguments among us {1Corinthians 14:33} so it's either you're a JW by sticking to the same line of thought {John 17:22} or you pitch your tent elsewhere! Luke 11:23

DaddyCoool:
Doesn't matter. They DISAGREED. They were NOT robots like JW, incapable of disagreeing

See delusion!

Someone misbehaved the other rebuked him and that translates to disagreement to you shey?

Well the same thing happened here on this thread when my brother Janoski was reciprocating to your rudeness but i used the scriptures to correct my brother does that mean Janoski and i disagreed?
Ọmọ disagreement is what you guys have been doing on this thread since it started as each of you wanted to teach what he has in mind resulting to arguments and insults!
