The strive to be PIMI(physical and mentally agreeable 100% without question) is the goal.

Christianity is not just a religion but an assignment/job that requires absolute loyalty:
“If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake day after day and keep following me" Luke 9:23
So when Jesus says disown yourself he wasn't talking about food, clothing and shelter that you enjoy but how to do the work God gave to Jesus.
The Governing Body also determines how all members of Jehovah's Witnesses go about the preaching and teaching work from what message we are to preach, how to go about the preaching, where and when to preach and when to vacate any place.
That's what requires our 100% loyalty not what they say about Bible characters that they never live with!

Amtasiu:
Please can any one describe "heaven" according to Jesus Christ or the Bible?
One shoe help us describe it.
The things we are going to find there , the enjoyment we are going to have there etc.

From Genesis to Revelation there is no record of how heaven looks like God's word consistently describes how the earth will look like in the future and that is what Jesus referred to as PARADISE.
If you read from the beginning the Bible says:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

After this verse the Bible only describes how earth and all the things in it came about. God's word says:
As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men. Psalms 115:16
So humans have no business with the heavens not until Jesus told his disciples:

In the house of my Father are many dwelling places. Otherwise, I would have told you, for I am going my way to prepare a place for you. Also, if I go my way and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you home to myself, so that where I am you also may be. John 14:2-3

From the above statement Jesus is the person who wants his friends to be with him it's not part of God's promise that's why he has to go and prepare the place since there was no preparation for humans to live in heaven!

Can you quote where Jesus or Paul said the highlighted?😀

FxMasterz:
Hey, Max, lest I forget, you must be born again!

FxMasterz:
Hahahahaha.
The Max in the mud!
So, where's your boasting?

Ọmọ ask the Jews to tell you criminal acts committed by Jesus and his disciples in the first century then you'll be shocked to hear lot's of stories from different sources but then ask any Jew to present any Jewish religious group without a single record of crime then they will become provoked.

Ọmọ present any church with no record of criminal charges or you don't believe in the church of Christ again?😀

Miracles is not enough reason why Jesus' stick to him because magic often happens back then too and both are supernatural acts.
There are lots of prophecies pointing to Jesus as the Christ and his friends were connecting the prophecies to what Jesus was doing.
John the baptist never performed any miracles but majority of the Jews living in the first century believe that John the baptist was a prophet of their God.

WHY?

Because John also fulfilled a prophecy that's simple and precise.

So if anyone believes Jesus simply due to miracles such a person will loose his or her faith in no time. Most of his disciples who performed miracles with his name later turned back from following him because they weren't focused on the prophecies foretold about the Christ and how Jesus was fulfilling most of these prophecies!

A Good JW is not A Beroan.
A recent watchtower said.

Now you are no longer believing what the Bible teaches rather you are insisting on Watchtower against the Bible!🤣

Floww23:
Why do you keep knocking on people doors despite many shut their door and Indicate lack of interest in such visits? Look in the mirror

Jesus didn't promise us that everyone will open their doors wide for us o! Matthew 10:11-15😀

Janosky:
Them no like Tirenchi wey dem see for 1978 Watchtower which the Update #2 broadcast repeated.
Jehovah's organization sabi well well.

They are really bitter as their bad energy failed to infect everyone!
🙂

FxMasterz:
There are many. Not one. I will mention them with verifiable references:
1. Child sexual abuse: https://www.childabuseroyalcommission.gov.au/case-studies/case-study-29-jehovahs-witnesses
For others, see screenshots.

Good!
Can you now present a religious group with no record of criminal charges?🙂

FxMasterz:
You must be born again!

You keep mimicking your pastors.🙂

correctguy101:
Like you don't know that already.
But take note that whatever is beneficial to anyone is mostly decided by the one receiving it.

Of course that is an indisputable fact yet the one giving must believe he is doing what is good otherwise he won't take it seriously?🤔

correctguy101:
You could be... Lols

Are you trying to say that some people just want to talk whether it's beneficial or not?

correctguy101:
Oh... What do you think? 😉

Well if i'm to judge by how i reason all commentators are trying to pass good information.

Am i right about you?🤔

correctguy101:
Lols. You this man... I hear you. Lifesaving indeed..SMH

We are all humans and as humans we love to pass information to others in many cases we feel those listening to should welcome what we are saying.
I've known you in this forum for years and i know you do discuss with people so are you just chatting for fun or trying to pass good information?

They are fulfilling what is written in the scriptures! Matthew 5:11-12; 10:22

PaNnamdi:
I am not a witness but whenever I start seeing Nigerians criticize a particular person or sect I become more inquisitive?
Why are u so bitter about witnesses and why haven't u spoken about churches looting offerings while members including u go to bed hungry.what it so special about witnesses that make everyone tries to see a tint on their shirt.
If u want to tackle religion let it be fair and everyone know that u are not partial because Nigerians criticize those they hate and cover the monsters and oppressors they love.

In the first century was Jesus' ministry without any complaints?

The answer is NO because most Jews weren't focusing on what the Apostles concentrated on which is prophesies that Jesus was fulfilling.

If anyone lived in the first century there is no way such a person can become a disciple of Christ if you are expecting PERFECTION without any loopholes the Apostles saw all the loopholes other Jews also noticed but they focused more on the prophecies that Jesus was fulfilling.

So today if anyone is concentrating on the loopholes regarding the works of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses we know where you belong and we know those that belong to our camp such ones will focus not on the loopholes but on prophecies fulfilled by this men!🙂

Ọmọ ṣee epistle simply to justify your rebellious attitude towards God's chosen men!🤔

I told you the reason why we BELIEVE in them:

The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses are FULFILLING WHAT OUR GOD promised in the Bible regarding His anointed servants in our time.

So since they are not perfect surely they will make mistakes but that doesn't stop us from working with them as long as they are producing the FRUIT expected of God's chosen men! Matthew 7:15-20

Your crying and wailing won't change that!🙂

Floww23:
when the scripture says no one comes to me except the Father draws them, it was proving the point that those who were drawn into the first century congregations were honest persons AT FIRST.
In fact here is a text from Act 13:48
The people who were not Jews were pleased with what they heard and praised the Lord's word. Everyone who had been prepared for everlasting life believed
This automatically Strike out the comparison you re making with the seven congregation!!!! , The Agents were never drawn by the Father, it was a Mission organized to imprison and Jail. Their appointment if anything proved the Appointment in the religion has nothing to do with holy spirit.
Now back to you admitting appointment in the JW can be lose guard on some appointments, I take it to mean you admitting There are many Elders among you who are not chosen by holy spirit.
And GB members are chosen from this pool of Elders. There is a serious problem!!! And low key it explain why so many policies cause harm to you members.
Jehovah will do that only if the religion is his own and he appoint their leaders. In JW land, that's not the case. To use your words , a haven of "loseguard " appointments.
A set of GB members ban beard and trousers for many years, people were mistreated, ostracized over this . Hairy people suffered under this administrations, but this set of GB live their lives to the very end. Despite Making a WRONG UNSCRIPTURAL POLiCY, nothing happened to them.
Disfellowship persons were mistreated for years in the kingdom hall, sitting at the back, ignored, yet some set of GB members make that policy, they all live to the end of their life, until others came and said You can greet them now
Some members reject Education and scholarship that could have better their lives, now struggling financially, the people who cause this Hardship Were not weeded out, they lived as GB to the very end of their life. Enjoying travelling and attention
New set came and overturn the decision. The overturn proved it's a group of men becoming Elders and making their way to GB , to control millions of life's.

*In the first century was the spirit of God working with Jesus when he chose Judas Iscariot to serve as an apostle?

*Was the spirit of God working with the disciples who performed many miracles only to turn their backs on Jesus whose name they used to perform miracles?

*Was the spirit of God working with the Elders when many brothers they taught and baptized turned out to be AntiChrists?

Jehovah's Witnesses aren't different from their first century counterpart so it's you who is expecting what is not possible:

PERFECTION!🙂

Floww23:
Not according to your own publications, adding to the pile of evidence that your religion is man made , aside appointing False spies proving no holy spirit in appointment.
How could so called men appointed by holy spirit do the error here ? Can u admit elders decision not guided by holy spirit ?
Going by this screenshot, how many such person were disfellowship in errors? See below

achorladey:
I wonder what pictures like the below portray 😂😂😂😂

Are these pictures about betrayal or a child someone spent years to raise is living the house for uncertainty which the parents knew will lead to the child's destruction?
Ọmọ i'm talking about you who is in no way related to me just because you are studying the Bible and got baptized but suddenly choose to turn against all the things you learned and attack JWs.
How can that hurt me?
Aren't you a stranger to me from day one?
These are pictures of children leaving home or husband leaving his family not strangers who came and later decides to do what they were sent to come and do nah!🙂

Janosky:
Matthew 15:13 & 1 Timothy 5:24, Jehovah will have His way & do His will at the appropriate time.

These people have turned their backs on Jehovah completely so even though you show them scriptures that's saying exactly what they need to hear their eyes has been blinded and their ears stopped. Isaiah 6:9-10
Jesus said in the Bible book of Matthew 13:25:
"While men were sleeping, his enemy came and oversowed weeds in among the wheat and left."

Abeg who is the enemy and who are the weeds?

Jesus answered:

"As for the fine seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom, but the weeds are the sons of the wicked one" Matthew 13:38

Based on Jesus' illustration what do we say about God's holy spirit?
Will the sons of the wicked be hindered from becoming elders and ministerial servants?

So if they don't believe what happened to first century disciples of Christ when Satan's children became many among them as John said in the Bible {1John 2:18} how can they believe modern day servants of the true God? Luke 16:31

Ọmọ it's only those having insight (sheep) that can understand all these things the rebellious ones (goats) will never ever have a rethink meanwhile many of them don't believe the Bible again they are just arguing aimlessly as it makes them feel a relief from their spiritual torment! Luke 16:24🙂

correctguy101:
Come now.
Those aren't matters I'll say here. I could tell you in person though. But, I personally do not think it'll help you in anyway as I feel you might find it hard to believe. But if you check my posts on here properly, old posts mostly. You might have a clue.

Highlighted is what makes Jehovah's Witnesses different from all other people because we are always eager to pass lifesaving information to all those in our neighborhood even though such info may sound unreasonable to them.
This is what Jehovah our God said:

“Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman to the house of Israel; and when you hear a word from my mouth, you must warn them from me." When I say to someone wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him, and you fail to speak in order to warn the wicked one to turn from his wicked course so that he may stay alive, he will die for his error because he is wicked, but I will ask his blood back from you.  But if you warn someone wicked and he does not turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked course, he will die for his error, but you will certainly save your own life. But when someone righteous abandons his righteousness and does what is wrong, I will put a stumbling block before him and he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die for his sin and his righteous acts will not be remembered, but I will ask his blood back from you. But if you have warned the righteous one not to sin, and he does not sin, he will surely keep alive because he was warned, and you will have saved your own life.

Based on my own personal experience with blood transfusion i can never ever think of accepting it even at the point of death but just as you said you only save such info for those who needs it.🙂

You should know that Max don't just listen or read without trying to gain something so please please please what is your reason for saying you prefer to die than to accept blood transfusion?🙂

correctguy101:
High priest Max, this one you took your time to quote this ancestor, wazup?
How's that hypocrisy? As long as it's within my power, I would not take. Unless I'm unconscious and some people decided for me. I know me wouldn't want it
I have given out my own blood on 2 different occasions but I still insist I don't want any from others. Anything wrong with that?
You dey talk like you know me. Yéyé man....

Jehovah's Witnesses has fulfilled what God promised globally among us so when others are fighting and killing themselves know that Jehovah's Witnesses are no part of such atrocities!

MrEar:
If the leaders of MaxInDHouse organization found out what he does here they will disfellowship him fast.

You are the most pitiable among these people because you don't know what is happening and instead of you to listen carefully to both side before judging you just decided to take side.
Well the only ground for disfellowship among us is outright rebellion not just error!😟

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

There is only one natural source of light that is global:
Daylight!
Of course we humans have developed different kinds of electric bulbs that is bright too but none can be compared to the broad daylight.
Now if you look critically at the sky from where we get the daylight surely you will see some dark spots and that could be a cause for complaint as many may choose to speak against the work of God but there is no source of light that is globally recognized than the daylight which God Himself gave mankind.

So if anyone wants to complain about a religious group you should be very very careful not to bring judgment upon yourself because your only justification should be a better performing group just as you can justifiably criticize the daylight if you can present a better source of light!🙂

@ chimex38
I know you really got upset with what i said but can you honestly answer this question?🙂

MaxInDHouse:
Please can you mention any religion that's performing better as Christians than Jehovah's Witnesses?🙂

Janosky:

Oga, no be fight.
Just laugh & ease tension.

Jesus said his disciples are the light of the world {Matthew 5:14-16} someone now said he is using Jehovah's Witnesses organization to set example for all other religious organizations.

I beg what is the work of light?

Is it not to set it above for everyone to see through its brightness?🙂

OK nah!🤣

MrEar:
Na u be JW nairaland spokesperson. 😁

Janosky:
My fellow brothers & sisters , children of their parents dey study in tertiary institutions everywhere in your country. Pls go & verify.

Some just want to be misinformed out of spite for God's organization so i don't bother discussing with such ones again let them go out there and know what we do as in truth for themselves.

chimex38:
I am just using JW as a pointer to other religions as well in general in my right up.

We are the light of the world {Matthew 5:14-16} that is why you always use us as the highest quality for others to emulate but don't be deceived my guy our God is not the same as the god of all other religions whether you claim Christian or not!
