Aemmyjah:
In total, we did not decrease but in some lands including Nigeria, there was marked decrease.
All the same, let's wait till they bring in complete year reports
The same people that are wailing on why we report our numbers cos it is not significant are mentioning decrease?

Do we still need publicity in Nigeria?
NO!
So whoever has bought the truth let him prove how valuable it is to him now!

Aemmyjah:
Pls tell that guy that having several monikers including a female one will not add a teaspoon of peace to his life

Me i don't even have beards because in my own family we don't grow beards so it's not a problem for me but then i understood that it's just a norm among JWs that we must endure until the new light comes for enlightenment. Proverbs 4:18

Speak for yourself Maximus

You hate the truth, nah your type go join JWs and later start telling stories about how some members later treated you.
The truth is bitter, there's no organization of worshipers where people are programmed not to insult you if you insult them the only thing we must do is never get angry while going out for the field service.
As for your friend you're free to believe him it's when you face reality that you will remember me!

Aemmyjah:
You go explain tire
No evidence
😂
Show where there's an decrease

Besides, the total statistics is coming up soon
You go see am yet you won't update your false comments
We are already having record numbers of baptismal candidates
Record numbers at the meetings
Record number of attendance at Memorial

All these, when they announce it, wailers will say na lie cos it pains them
If it it something they like, they blow trumpet 🎺

Many will surely get tired of the race {Matthew 23:12} but the faithful will continue without let up! Hebrews 10:38-39

MaobiCarl:
When the Org was increasing and multiply.. From 6 million to 8 million it was a sign that it is the true organisation, "large army of witnesses" it was like a prophecy coming true. Now membership is decreasing instead of the reverse it surprisingly means is the true organisation too..
Well the point is this, once you blindly see something as truth or the way.. Nothing can change your mind even negative signs will be a good sign for you.
Rest my dear.

Increase and decrease in number of attendees or soldiers preaching zealously and teaching industriously throughout the earth?

Ọmọ Jesus said due to increase in lawlessness the love of many will grow cold {Matthew 24:12} do you think he was talking about those going to worship centers to warm benches?
He was referring to active preachers doing the work he assigned.
He went on to add:
"But the one who has endured to the end will be saved" Matthew 23:13
Which means many will first join in doing the work but as times goes on many will take their leave but in all of these the job will be done before the destruction of evildoers! Matthew 24:14
So if you're thinking about the increase and decrease try to also meditate on how the work is going on because the work has already reached the places where some decided to turn back it's not compulsory they're saved it's the places where the work hasn't reach that matters to Jehovah.

That's why He said:

“But my righteous one will live by reason of faith,” and “if he shrinks back, I have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38

Those leaving do you know any preaching and teaching organized group they joined later?

Well the truth is they become unproductive which will surely lead to their condemnation! Matthew 25:28

We are not the type that shrinks back to destruction! Hebrews 10:39

iExplore:
I don't. Just need real evidence that such miracles exist

NO! It doesn't because God never promised anyone outside Israel such gift it's strictly for Israelites and for the benefit of Israelites.
It's when God's kingdom comes that all those believing in Jesus will enjoy the benefit globally as for now there's no body on this planet with such a gift because it ended with the destruction of Jerusalem and it's temple in the first century!

Eyinju112:
Like I said and will still say, if anyone left the organization because he wants to keep beards that means he was never meant to be there in the first hand. If he can't abide with not keeping beards which is the simplest of all our doctrine, then he is not worthy or fit to be a Jehovah's witnesses.

The secret is that your faith will be tested by FIRE! 1Peter 1:7

How will your faith be tested?

Jesus answered:
“Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5
Zephaniah said:
Before the decree takes effect, Before the day passes by like chaff, Before the burning anger of Jehovah comes upon you, Before the day of Jehovah’s anger comes upon you, Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth, Who observe his righteous decrees. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger. Zephaniah 2:2-3

Why is humility or meekness so important and what role will it play in your salvation?

Well it's because you must be SUBMISSIVE to those taking the lead among God's people {Hebrews 13:7} this people are imperfect so they are fallible and you will surely notice their blunders but if you capitalize on that to disobey them Paul said:

"Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over you as those who will render an account, so that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to you" Hebrews 11:17

Now try to meditate on Zephaniah 2:3 and Hebrews 13:17 you will understand why only meek ones can be saved!

Psalms 37:11
Matthew 5:5

May you have PEACE!

You claim that God no longer answers people except Israelites. I am not an Israeli, yet He answers me.

Go and open the eyes of blind no story!

Organiccourses:
I see know difference between that guy and Bokoharam or Hamas, he's an extremist and most extremist are hypocrites. In my over 50 years of knowing Jehovah's witnesses , they do not insult people they rather keep quiet and walk away. The Op asked him to walk away on this thread but he's still here tarnishing images of the witnesses

Continue deceiving yourself assuming members of a religion are programmed not to get annoyed even if you insult them.

triplechoice:
@ the bolded, maybe it's because of a few Jw members like you who say one thing in public and do another when no one is watching . You have no qualms to insult people who challenge you here because the forum is faceless.
You are on your own
Speak for yourself and not others
The jws I know personally offline don't behave they way you do . I admit there are some who misbehave and don't care what others think of their misbehaviour ,but not all of them do so as you want the public to believe . You are a different kind of Jw who takes delight in insulting others . That's the truth and you know it.

Continue deceiving yourself!

Jesus gave us an assignment to preach from house to house and door to door {Matthew 10:11-13} so on that note we aren't representing ourselves when we come to your house to preach (plead) he commanded us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves while handling the assignment he gave us! Matthew 10:16
But then when we are not at your doorstep to preach you decided to treat us like trash after knowing that this person is one of those that used to come preaching then you decided to treat us the same way you did when we're at your doorstep.
Ọmọ you will regret your action because at that time we are going on our normal daily lives. For instance present a sip of alcoholic beverage to any member of Jehovah's Witnesses while we are going to preach from house to house none of us will take it from you but does that mean JWs don't take alcoholic beverages?
Guy stop deceiving yourself JWs are normal humans like everyone else the only difference is the assignment we carry out in our neighbourhood but it doesn't mean we're stupid o!

Faithless miscreant.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Miracles are always answers to prayers. You take what is beyond you to God in prayers.
Me I have seen miracles, experience miracles, and prayed for the sick to get healed without any magic but believing in the word of God.
I once told you here that a student like me prayed and God healed me of ten years migraine. It was a Deeper Life fellowship I strayed into. I was invited to a different fellowship. I didn't know which was what then as a rascally new student. I never attended that fellowship again.
Your brother my sibling, a faithless person also was the same opinion like yours wrongly schooled by deluded GB.
Seeing you in your sheikh's beard soon.

You need not quote me.

The OP must have blind patients in mind that you can help to open their eyes or take them to your pastor for the miracle.

And you think I don't have family members and friends who are JW to know better . Dey play

Continue deceiving yourself.
Why do you think most people come here to say JWs are hypocrites?
Ọmọ it's after trying trash with us and we deal with them that they will start saying such as they took our simplicity for stupidity!

Jesus is a Jew and the Jews aren't just nice people as most people erroneously presume so when it comes to being nice look at a Jew with the view of someone who is jealously adamant to the principles and rules of the God of Abraham.

Now who is a Christian?

Christians are subjects of the Christ who are looking forward to living forever under the rulership of the King of the Jews: Christ Jesus

So it's not just about being nice but strictly a follower of Christ as a spiritual Jew.

What are the rules or principles guiding the spiritual Jews?
Our God has promised us that we will inherit the earth forever under the rulership of the Christ {Psalms 37:9-11, 29} so our first objective is to help as many as possible to gain Visa into the Kingdom of God under our ruler Christ. Matthew 28:18-20
What about people who feels they already have their own religion so they don't need the Christ? We are to cohabit peacefully with such ones as well meaning neighbours {Mark 12:31} while we continue to relate with our fellow believers as brothers and sisters {Matthew 12:46-50} and love them just as our King was ready to give up anything for us! John 13:34-35

Christians don't belong to any nation {John 17:14-19} we are like one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers so globally we all share the same line of thought {John 17:22} that's why we don't participate in politics since our King is coming to exterminate all human government and establish his righteous rule! Daniel 2:44

So when you say there are no Christians in Nigeria that's because you don't know what we stand for therefore can't know anything about our activities since we're not opposed to any human government, whatever they demand we must give them but never our 100% loyalty {Mark 12:17} our neutrality will surely make politically oriented people hate us {Matthew 24:9} as they always want to have a say in the politics of their country! John 11:48

We will never go against any country in wars because our Master, Lord and King Christ Jesus commanded us to LOVE our neighbours as ourselves {Mark 12:31} LOVE our fellow believers just as he love us {John 13:34-35} LOVE and pray for our enemies! Luke 6:27 -28

Our movement is aiming at global peace {Isaiah 2:2-4} under the rulership of the Prince of Peace! Isaiah 9:6

Satan has blinded many people {2Corinthians 4:4} he used his own agents {2Corinthians 11:14-15} he initiated them immediately after Jesus' ascension to heaven {Matthew 13:25} and because they mixed with politicians they're the ones people like you thought are Christians, they support politics so when world rulers order to go fighting and killing they do with passion even killing their fellow religionists in other places {Revelations 6:3-4} by so doing they confused observers like you.

That's why our God promised to change the name of His own worshipers after we have been separated from amongst Satan's agents globally {Revelations 18:4} our God began calling us by another group name today:
JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

triplechoice:
Good you are here .
Though I'm not a witness ,the JW I know outside this furom are mostly well behaved .
The ones here are quick to insult ,abuse you and engage in barefaced lies without shame .

So you think the name "Jehovah's Witnesses" means people who are programmed not to be abusive even though you insult them shey?

Try that with JWs when we're not in the field service nah, in fact some will deal with you to an extent you will never try nonsense with the JW you meet next time.

Christ Jesus didn't teach us to be quiet when a faithless miscreant is accusing us wrongly neither did he teach us to be stupid rather we look at situations surrounding the matter so as to know the next action we will take.

If you don't abuse or insult people no one will do so to you {Matthew 7:12} you can't start calling me names simply because of my faith and expect me to be quiet of course i will put you where you rightly belong!

Are you willing to know so that you and i can study the Bible together on this thread?

Do you believe a blind person can be made to see through the prayers of a pastor?

Impossible!

Miracles were meant strictly for the Israelites just as magic was given to all other nations as a sign that powerful spirit beings exists in the gathering of worshipers.
So God never granted anyone outside Israel the power (gift) to perform miracles it was strictly meant to be handled by Israelites and for the benefit of Israelites that's why Jesus told a woman who asked for it:

"I was not sent to anyone except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matthew 15:24

From Genesis to Revelations you can't see the name of anyone who is not an Israelite perform miracles and after the Bible has been completed Jerusalem and it's temple was destroyed such gifts seized completely! 1Corinthians 13:8-10

Now you know, you're not supposed to spend time correcting the lies maxindhouse, maximum, ND co, say cos you will not never change their ideology or thinking , instead it will be a stumbling block to you.

Is there one thing you read in my post that any JW ever told you is not so?

What differs is our approach and that's due to the fact that each person is unique on his own but when it comes to what all JWs believes even those who left the organization will tell you that whoever doesn't agree is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

So there's not a single lie rather it's approach that differs.

Thank you!

I didn't come with them, i won't leave with them.

One thing is sure:

I didn't follow anyone into the organization i joined due to the things i learned and found as truth so no matter what anyone says it's their own opinion if they choose to live the organization! John 6:68

Notatribalist:
See,I will go back to be honest. I'm in my late 30s, I'm not married because I can't even marry outside Jehovah witness. Some year ago I was asking my girl out in Ghana,and her cousin called me and said; "you said you were brought up as Jehovah's witness",why don't you go and find a wife there? Then I asked why she wants me to go there and she said; "because they hardly divorce". It was shocking to hear that from her,so from that day,I made the decision that I'll never marry outside the organization

The highlighted is due to what Jesus said @ Matthew 19:5-6
By their FRUITS you will know! Matthew 7:16

Mcslize:
This is the obvious truth. I don't want to marry and then my wife will start misbehaving. I want to raise my children and grow old with my wife. Divorce is one of the thing I don't want to experience. And it's only Jehovah organisation that can give one that peace of mind with a good life partner whose head is correct.

It depends on the choice you make among God's people. To marry the first thing you have to consider is a person whose relationship with Jehovah is unbreakable then you can be 100% certain that you're marrying a friend of Jehovah who will not like to bring reproach on Jehovah's name.
But if you just marry anyone simply because they attend our meetings then get ready for a failed marriage.

Serendipity2023:
If Christians means those that live like Christ, then there are almost no Christians in Nigeria.
If you aren't rich today, the leaders of the church won't bother about you.

Perhaps you don't know what Christians really look like or what we stand for!

Mcslize:
Better think of going back bro. It's a hard decision. Most people that left, did that for some selfish personal reasons. You can't find what they teach anywhere. I left too but I have been thinking of going back. They practice one of the most purest form of Christianity. They don't condone immorality. They have the lowest rate of divorce and broken homes. And they have the most homely wives you can't find anywhere. Their wives respect their husbands and vice versa. You can't find this anywhere in the world. When I look around and see how homes are being broken and so many divorce going on in the world around us, I feel a sense of nostalgia. I am still critically thinking whether to go back or not. Put it into your bucket list. JW is a good organisation. Stop lambasting them cuz you left. I also left but I will never speak bad of them. Cuz I have seen what's in the world. I have tasted and seen. Let's not speak bad of them. Let's be truthful to ourselves; what's obtainable in JW organisation, you can't find it anywhere in the world today.

Ask 90% of those who left other churches the church they're attending presently they will confidently tell you because it's the same thing that's going on they just switch lanes but ask anyone who left Jehovah's Witnesses the same question and see how they will pounce on you as if you hurt them.

WHY?

Because there's no other like JWs out there!

Jeyun:
your end will be worst than someone who have not come to the truth before unless u return to Jehovah. U are currently in same league with Satan who was once a beautiful angel that associated with other angels and know the truth but because of convasiousness he rebel against God and Keep saying all sorts of lies against God. I will not reply your response because u are an apostate but u are still free to return to Jehovah no time is to late but it is urgent.dont forget I will not reply your response.

Hmmmmmmm this means there are many JWs on this forum but have been ignoring these apostates!

Mcslize:
This one na ex JW. We know ourselves. 🤣🤣

They're WORKERS OF LAWLESSNESS {Matthew 7:23} that's why they hate to be questioned in the church they're attending it makes them feel OK as they can switch lanes from one church to another while still claiming they worship the same God {Matthew 7:13-14} so since JWs don't accept interfaith they don't want such an organization to exist so they can continue making options among the existing religions claiming Christians!

meemee:
Please show me any of the "real world" Jehovah’s Witness that is in the army or any other arm carrying organisation. Please show me but so many other religious groups in the world work in theses organisations thereby helping to cause enormous chaos in the world and yet nobody see anything wrong in what they are doing.

God is using them to fulfill a prophecy! Psalms 46:9
Jesus said they will be noticed globally as friends of the Prince of Peace! Matthew 5:14-16

meemee:
Imagine if everyone in the world are just like the JWs. No war or killing of one another, no carrying of arms, no crime, not deliberately attacking anyone, just live in peace with one another. No kidnapping or banditry and no noise. Imagine that for just a minute. It would have been bliss to live on this earth if everyone were just like them.

Hmmmmmmm are you indirectly referring to what God said in the Bible book of Psalms 37:9-11?

todugo:
How dare you compare the issue of circumcision with wearing beards? This is pure gaslighting and other form of manipulation.
The issue of circumcision was already a law and a required by God which he made with Abraham which was clearly stated in the old testament.

God commanded Israelites to wear beards so it's also a law in the Bible!

MaobiCarl:
War is war. No human life is more important than another whether they serve God or not. That the opposite side doesn't worship the type of God you worship is enough reason not to war them because it's your desire to convert them. You have no point.
The devil didn't create those people the isrealites slaughtered, God did. So you have no excuse
So in essence you'll join war and kill people in a country where you won't find a single witness in it, right?
I do not support wars, it's barbaric and animalistic... But we're all animals too. There's no logic in war.
But don't forget that wars brought peace your enjoying today.. You guys even invite police and army for personal security individually.. So why the hypocrisy??
Is simply wat the GB instructed their followers to do just to appear different.
Can you find a verse where jesus specially told his followers not to go to war?

In a nutshell you can't answer those questions shey?
It's OK!

Yes he did it against the tribe of Benjamin. So yes there is presidence for that.
And yes God loves all.
Let's read some verses
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
So God loves even his enemies yet he commanded the destruction of many nations.
What do you learn from this?

Go and read whatever you wish to widows and fatherless whose parents were killed during Russia/Ukraine war, tell them how your god loves them by asking their parents to go and kill one another!
