pope said "it's ok to laugh at God so long as you don't offend believers"
it doesn't seem like offending God is pope's priority,
just don't offend believers.

His a real diplomat!

You can't cause any trouble by laughing at God whom you don't know neither can you see but a lot of trouble can start when you offend the person you can see face to face! 1John 4:20

Honchoslim16:
Are you a true Christian?? 😁

YES!

brocab:
You asked me where my church is, you didn't ask the churches you mentioned. JW's are not the only dumb dumb's that disobeys the Word of God.
There many different associations who would build churches made of brick and mortar, these are only Churches who focuses on the Money more then they are focused on the people.
But what does the scriptures tells us, it say's the disciples met in private homes, they met outside the temples, they met in the street's, they brought people back to their homes and baptized them.
Christian means Christ like, Church is the people made of flesh and Blood. Church is not a building made of brick and mortar.
Now you mentioned halls, JW's also meet in halls-they call them Kingdom halls.
I am only following the scriptures, where in fact you refuse to obey scripture, you refer to follow after man, that's your choice.
I prefer to stay on course obeying the scriptures, which of course it is the Word of God.

No gymnastics can edit what you typed below:

brocab:
It was the Pharisee that met in large buildings made of brick and mortar we now call churches.

So Deeperlife, RCCG, MFM, Lord's Chosen, Apostolic Church, Apostolic Faith, C.A.C, Christ Embassy and all those churches meeting in big halls made of bricks are all Pharisees!

Edybleketara:
I wonder why someone will just decide to deceive himself. Jehovah's witnesses are known to use trial and error and guess work to make predictions. Some jws quit their jobs, sold all their property thinking the world will end back in 1975.

In the first century many Jews did exactly the same thing because they believe Jesus, perhaps they deceived themselves for following Jesus' group!

Templee333:
wow! So good for you.

Praise Jehovah!

Aemmyjah:
Initially, if it were in my former faith, I'll strongly disagree with the Jehovah's Witnesses for not choosing a date that many historical agreed on but if I realize that it would make the God of the Bible a liar, I know there's a problem and it's not from the Bible but history

That's what they failed to realize!

Historians are doing a good job but then when they err a believer can't know until you placed their work side by side with God's word that's when you will know {John 8:32} of course God can't err so the error must have come from imperfect humans! Romans 3:4

DeusXmachina:
Well, I thank you for your honesty in your beliefs here. So does someone needs to believe the exact particular things you believe in regards to Christ as a JW to be saved.
Say someone leads a life along the lines of the teachings of Christ, but was never convinced Jesus really ever existed, but thinks they're an inspiring character and still values their lessons and acts them. Would your God kill them off, for not being convinced of Jesus's existence, exactly like how you believe he is your Messiah?

My God doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all to attain perfection or get the pass mark because He knows that imperfect humans can't easily grasp why he or she needs to stick to the teachings of Jesus. Psalms 103:12-14

For the world to have total peace everyone must accept Jesus' wise counsel that's the only way forward {John 14:6} of course some may feel they're OK since they don't plan to hurt their fellowman or ever think of hurting anyone but it's not going to work if they don't undergo the spiritual surgery.
Each human must learn to be so calm that even though someone deliberately wronged you the first person to plead in behalf of this offender should be you {Matthew 5:39 compare to Luke 6;27-28} with that you're the first person extending the hand of peace making so who will hurt him if you're the one pleading for him?

What do we stand to gain from all these?

My God promised that what He purposed in the beginning was for mankind to live forever {John 3:16} no oldage {Job 33:25} no sickness {Isaiah 33:24} no death! Isaiah 25:8

So to qualify for that condition each human must master the character Jesus played like a role model but since imperfect humans can't do so within just 100 years my God promised to allow only those who want to continue putting on that Christlike qualities {Ephesians 4:22-24} to master it within 1,000 years by then no distraction Will be allowed as all false religions will be removed completely {Revelations 20:1-2} that will allow for all honest hearted, sincere and obedient humans will attain perfection.

All these will be extremely impossible for anyone who fails to accept Jesus as his or her role model that's why God said He will destroy them! John 3:16-18

Aemmyjah:
Agreeing with 587bce would mean that Jehovah was lying about the Jews spending 70 years in captivity. Mr atheist

He thought criticizing Jehovah's Witnesses will bring him joy but whenever we prove to him that it's either standing with Jehovah's Witnesses or you welcome ATHEISM he becomes so angry that he resort to abusive speeches.
Please don't allow him to pull you into the mud with him at least he has seen that all those that left Jehovah's Witnesses are now atheists they can't find anywhere else to stay and continue with faith in Christ Jesus!

DeusXmachina:
What makes believing in the same exact things as you the most important thing to your God.

Thanks for this question!

My God said He created the earth to be a haven for mankind but something happened along the line that's why the earth is without peace today.
So my God wants sanity to return to the earth that's the purpose of Jesus Christ he will teach mankind how to become peaceful so that the earth can return to how He wants from inception.
So all those rejecting Jesus' counsel will be killed off and the earth will have peace with all the friends of PEACE trained by Jesus Christ.

Today the one and only organization fulfilling this prophecy is Jehovah's Witnesses!

achorladey:
You cannot bring any of my post on this discussion so far where I said truth is relative

If you don't know the only group having the truth out of tens of thousands of religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming they're Christians then i have nothing to discuss with you further i'm not here for fruitless arguments.

Thanks for your contribution!

achorladey:
Responding to my post tells me you are receiving a message from Achorladey

Thanks for commenting!

achorladey:
Simple this is NAIRALAND FORUM NAIRALAND FORUM NAIRALAND FORUM NAIRALAND FORUM not JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES FORUM NOT JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES FORUM.
I can join any thread or topic created, like, quote, comment, share what message I want to pass on any of those topic including those of Jehovah's Witnesses . Whether I agree with Jehovah’s witnesses or not has zero influence regarding that.
I have answered your question

Ọmọ you have no message that's why you can't create a single thread where thousands of people are creating threads to air their messages!

achorladey:
You are back to starting point again. Merry go round na your mode of operation. Read the bold again then go back to my previous post to see my response.The issue is not about the truth being relative or not. What did the Bible you carry from house to house tell you about the truth? Is the Bible running away from you now or you are the one running away from Bible?

Only one out of all these religions is following Jesus so if you're not interested in knowing that single one then there's no need arguing with you your stand is that truth is relative!

Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Your dictionary definition of faith is inaccurate because faith has to do with action which reflects what the believer can perceive even though there's nothing to show those around him apart from his own works.

For instance the Wright Brothers BELIEVED that it's possible for a vessel to carry people and fly in the sky but do you think there is any evidence apart from what they're working to achieve?
Can you say you agree with their FAITH before they were able to make an aeroplane?

What about today?
How many people still doubt what the Wright Brothers BELIEVE before they produced an aeroplane?
Is the situation the same as when they first set out with their mission?

Well that's what FAITH truly means!

achorladey:
What did the Bible you carry say about the truth? What some said is not the main point?

Good!
If you're of the opinion that truth isn't relative then which of the over 41,000 different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming they're doing what one man taught his disciples is the truth?

Emusan:
I said watchtower agreed with THEM!
what will watchtower agreed with if not their DATE?

So if you're sure that Watchtower agree with your historians on DATE then how come Watchtower insisted on 607 B.C.E against your historian's 587 B.C.E nah?

achorladey:
All posters are not the one who created nairaland forum. No correlation between my previous response and this question
I agree with all posters or not is not the criteria to join nairaland forum or create a thread on this forum. You are trying so hard to get me off your thread I wonder what is the essence of the above and the question paapaa

If you don't agree with all posters on Nairaland then why are you always on JW threads when you have your own message to pass to people in general?

achorladey:
So Jehovah's Witnesses is not the truth

Some said truth is relative nah!

So you can determine your own truth it's not by force o!

Emusan:
But watchtower agreed with them!

OK Watchtower agree but not with their dates shey?
I have heard you!

Templee333:
You are definitely one of them

OK, so anyone you see on Nairaland is learning from you shey?
I thought learners are people applying what they are learning.
Well the only teaching i am applying comes from only one source:
Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses!

Templee333:
something more than Lot and his daugter is here!

Tell those who are learning from you!

achorladey:
Nairaland is a public forum. It is called NAIRALAND FORUM.

Do you agree with all posters on Nairaland apart from Jehovah's Witnesses?

Emusan:
The same historians you don't want to take serious and gaslight into thinking they didn't say anything about Jesus are the ones you rely on for the date 537BC you started counting your 70 years from.

Ọmọ this is the funniest post ever!

Please where did records of dates regarding the time of creation of earth and the period of Christ's birth come from?
God's inspired prophets or secular historians?

Did those your so called archeologists and historians agree with the Bible's record of dates that this planet is less than 8,000 years?

Stop deceiving yourself!
Your so called historians and archeologists are the same people telling you that the earth and humans have been here for millions of years so how do you want God's people to place what these people say above God's word?

Our Master, Lord and King prayed for us:

"Sanctify (Jehovah's Witnesses) by means of the truth; (Bible)your word is truth"

So stick to calculations from your archeologists and historians while we stick to calculations in God's word: Bible!

Templee333:
in the land of Sodom and Gomorah, how many people benefited from the knowledge of the two angels that visited lot?

If you believe the Bible it's recorded that only lot and his two daughters so these three were united in faith that's why we have that record today.
Can you also present those benefitting from your so called KNOWLEDGE?
I present the only big and happy family of peace loving worshipers throughout the earth known as JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, these are real people that everyone can see in their neighborhood not imaginary beneficiaries that can't be examined anywhere!

achorladey:
The bold is because nairaland is the property of MaxInDHouse and Jehovah's organization

Preachers in buses and public squares are the owners of the buses or places they stand to preach shey?
No nah!
So if they're preaching what they believe and you don't go about countering what they preach what makes you feel Nairaland is not an exception?
Simply put you have no messages so you're on the hunt for anyone whose message is disturbing your conscience because there are thousands of people with different messages on this forum but only Jehovah's Witnesses are your problem.
If anyone should go through your profile now 90% of your posts are against Jehovah's Witnesses yet there are thousands of people whose beliefs contradicts one another.
WHY?
