MaxInDHouse: Guy when religions worships differently it simply means the spirit leading them differs, if you're not intelligent others are. Jesus is just one person who said his disciples will have the same line of thought {John 17:22} so when people gather with the idea of sticking to the doctrines of different teachers to the point of naming their gatherings differently something is wrong. It's only someone who is spiritually blind and deaf that doesn't know that the contradictions in churches means they're all in disarray. So if you're not interested in knowing the one and only church that's practicing what Jesus taught but criticizing just one out of thousands then you're not sincere to yourself!
The only pure! That is you saying that nah! Of all thousands of denominations, yours is only one brand. Your organization is just like any other now as in the days of Jesus. Each of them: Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, Hellens, etc were cork sure of their convictions. Your group today believes that angels, spiritual manifestations, demons do not exist. It is not knew. acts 23:8. So. today, your organization condemns other groups even the early Christians that paid supreme sacrifices with their lives. Those that were fed to hungry lions. Those that gave all up to serve the only Master. Those that went to dangerous places forgetting their homes to die for the in jungles of Africa. They didn't perform. Yet none of you are willing to do that now. There are some of the people now in the churches of 'pastopreneurs' in some places in Iraq, even Nigeria here that are in dangerous places. Many being killed often. Is it because they are not sharing such on media? Oh, we share among ourselves, we gather to pray for them. Some are saved some perish. If I should continue, I would be a bragger like you and your organization. It is not necessary.
MaxInDHouse: Why not concentrate on me as a character and not generalizing what you think Jehovah's Witnesses are doing? I don't like arguing people's beliefs that's why i put up the bold face of "the one and only true religion"
So if you know you have a better performing group then you can engage me with the aim of proving you've found something better.
Do you understand now?
Matt.25.32 - And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: Matt.25.33 - And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Matt.25.34 - Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
I don't have the capability to do what you are asking. I don't know all the churches in Nigeria alone not to talk about the world.
Besides, who am I to do the separation when Jesus Himself said to do it by Himself?
MaxInDHouse: Why not concentrate on me as a character and not generalizing what you think Jehovah's Witnesses are doing? I don't like arguing people's beliefs that's why i put up the bold face of "the one and only true religion"
So if you know you have a better performing group then you can engage me with the aim of proving you've found something better.
Do you understand now?
'Special imperfect organization' The best of imperfect people on earth!
See delusion.
Anyway, why do you put up the topic? You want us to take it line, hook, and sinker, shey?
I laugh in Jehovah's Witnesses's paradise's language.

Racoon: Hehehe! Nice one! After all Tinubu and all his cohorts in the ACN and APC were staunch advocates of restructuring to regionalism back then. This is one of the reason the refused to attend the 2014 confab, but his first priority was to bastardized the economy then change national anthem.So it would seem it is a generational thing as the oldies yearn for the glorious days of their childhood, while we who were shaped in the military mould, hold on to the things the military gave to us.
If a return to old anthem can be done, then a return to regional governments or better political restructuring can be effected by a democratic government. It is time for democratic Nigeria to shape Nigeria, instead of just living the system the military regimes put in place to usher a return to democracy.
Tinubu got balls. Let him move beyond this mental rejiging of Nigerians and see through with the necessary changes to national life.ACN bloc campaigned all their life about restructuring, it will be the greatest disservice if Tinubu won't complete that restructuring with all the power it seems he wields. 3 more years to go, but now the time beckons.
The gradual deconstruction of this contraption of an entity is gradually unfolding. Guess Shettima that said "restructuring my foot" will not be angry now? Meanwhile, thought the NASS and the Tinubu led presidency all vehemently denied that there is no plan to return to regional government?
Aha it is merely a concerned Nigerian expressing his will nah! You too can, it is left for the president and legislature to treat it. The bill is not a threat at all
Aemmyjah: When you understand simple mathematical calculation, we can have a conversation Which school did you go to again?
Lemme even help you.
From 607BCE to 606BCE is 1 year From 607 BCE to 605BCE is 2 years From 607 BCE to 604 BCE is 3 years Now continue that until you get to 1BCE and then tell Nairaland how many difference it in the years.
If you still don't understand, to outside and collect 607 small stones, let the first stone be marked as 607 and the last Stone be 1 BCE, oya start counting and tell me the answers when you have finished. No need to thank me for educating u on basic counting
If 607BCE to 1BCE is the same and amount to 607 years according to you
Then 607 to 606 BCE is 2 years cos you're already counting 607 and that's not proper. If you are married in 2024. Will 2025 be your first marriage anniversary or your second marriage anniversary? If your son is born in 2024, is 2024 his first year or not? Will 2025 make him 1 year or or 2 years old According to your stupid calculation and mightysparrow who is short sighted won't even correct you as long as you both of filled with envy, Janosky, Maxindhouse. Pls come n see how this man completely ignore the simple principle of mathematics and counting to discredit us yet he's just trying to make a fool of himself
If 607 to 606 is 1 year interval And 607 to 605 is 2 years interval How come (according to Johnw47), 607 BCE to 1 BCE is still 607 years interval?
What envy cannot do does not exist 😂
Thank you Johnw47 for making laugh.
We are saying that something does not have academic and historical evidence. Are you saying your GB and organization can manufacture events and dates?
AntiChristian: Did Jesus tell anyone to accept him as Lord and savior?
Yes!
Luke 24:46-49 [46]And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: [47]And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. [48]And ye are witnesses of these things. [49]And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
The north that has been boasting of population would soon finish themselves. Nigeria will rest.
No word.
On a more serious note, what is seen in the north today is the carelessness of their leaders in the past. They are still repeating same mistakes. They keep their people poor and enriching themselves. They are calculating to take over military, economy, and rulership of Nigeria while their house is burning.
By the time the thing becomes huge problem, itt will be easier for other parts of the nation to break away. They will be left with their problems.
TenQ: My concern with islam is the several cascades of lies and misinformation required to prop it up. Yet, even with these lies exposed, many will still hold on to whatever they can hold in the religion.
Indeed those of us who are saved by Christ have been saved purely by Grace
Yeah, there's a little we can do about. Preaching and encouraging them.
All archeological evidence pointed to the fact that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587BC
Even with the manipulative mathematics you did. 2520 - 607 still gives 1913 not 1914
You see that no matter how you spin it, 1914 is still a haox and scam.
Here is NUM 14:34 but reading only 34 is cherry picking start from verse 33
33 And your children will be like shepherds, wandering in the wilderness for forty years. In this way, they will pay for your faithlessness, until the last of you lies dead in the wilderness. 34 “‘Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years—a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’
The same is with Ezekiel 4:6
God instructions in those passages were clear and God is not saying ALL DAYS MUST BE A YEAR.
Good morning. I have written on this topic before. This teaching forms the backbone of JWs. And it is a lie. The idea itself was not originally theirs. It was inherited from a Seventh Day Adventist's preacher.
However, About eight years ago, I was studying eschatology all by myself. I gathered all manners of materials including Islamic, JWs book on Prophecy of Daniel, Science, Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, Vanga, Catholics' Bishop Malachy's, Mummy Simpsons, Word History and the Internet. It took me months. I didn't want to leave any aspect out to have a wider view of thought on the subject.
The only book that explains prophecy of Daniel is the JW's book. I now was mapping the characters of the chapter eleven and those of experts of history. I discovered discrepancies. Of course, the historians wrote not to prove anything to anyone but to contribute to knowledge.
I now began to research more until I stumbled on a book written by a Jehovah's witness. After twelve years of research, he wrote a treatise to the leadership of JWs. The treatise later was published as, The Gentiles Times Reconsidered, by Carl Olof Jonsson. It is a well researched, scholarly stuff.
The men, others that challenge the teaching were all dis fellowshipped. In as much as he's tried to do a great job interpreting prophecies, they have been influenced by the idea that they know everything.
They are sincerely wrong on this topic. Future 'New Lights' will correct the error.
TenQ: It is quite unfortunate that a lot of sincere people are going to hell because of the fraud of a man whose deity impassontes the true God and he impersonates the prophet of God. If only that these Muslims will stop for once and ask themselves some important questions: unfortunatly, the chains of their mind is too strong to allow that
Except for God's deliverance. Indoctrination is a terrible thing. It doesn't matter what is taken in, once it gets to the heart and germinates, to uproot is very difficult.
The funny thing about it is that anybody can be indoctrinated: literates and illiterates alike. When it comes to religious things, you are very sure of what you believe beyond reason. This is what makes Islam pathetic. Most of the scholars are illiterates. Professors of medicine, philosophy, engineering, Law etc will have to submit their learning to 'divine' revelations that are contrary to reason.
TenQ: What amazes me is how billion of people were sold this faulty man as a replacement for the Messiah AND they swallowed the liess hook, line and sinker.
The spirit of deceit is strong indeed.
Jesus said it that when he came they didn't believe him but when another would come in his own name, they will believe him
DuaWorrior: I made this prayer because you insulted me an another two billion people worldwide when you post absolute garbage about our religon. Go through my posts and you won't find a single insult against Christians and Christianity. For your information, my mother is a Christian. Her father was a pastor who worked with missionaries. Half of my relations are Christians. We grew up together as kids, ate in the same dish, slept on the same bed, and we still help one another today. If a problem befalls me, my Christian cousins will work harder than my Muslim friends to help me. similarly, I and my Muslim siblings contribute more money than their Chrisitian friends in church whenever one of my Christian cousins needs financial help for school, medical treatment, etc. So, why would I insult Christians and Christianity? We can disagree with one another respectably. But when you start to call Muhammad (SAW) possessed or Allah possessed, or Muslims terrorists, then you are going beyond the limit because you can't prove any of that. You can't find a single historical or scientific findings or investigation reports to support those accusations. This is what makes such accusations offensive. And by doing that, you actually infringe upon our rights and we can pray against you and the prayers will be accepted because you wronged us deliberately (not a mistake). It is because I do not want to wrong any Christians that I'm careful what I say about them, their religion, or their holy book. I don't want any Christian putting a curse on me for wrongfully hurting his/her feelings . . . because such curses may very well take effect. If one Muslim insults you or your faith, direct your insult at him without targetting the entire Muslim population. They didn't send that Muslim to insult you or your religion. If you can promise to not insult Muslims or their faith without any solid basis again, I'll reverse the curese, otherwise it stays and let's see if it takes effect or not.
Beautiful you. You don't need to curse. Just tell your people to stop insulting Christians and Christian faith. To some decent people like you, accept my apology.
To those errant idiots, there is no way they will not attract mudslinging to you people.
They should just come here and preach the beauty of Islam. I have Muslims as well in my family. We live together peacefully and respectfully.
Antichristian, AbuTwins and few others love to throw jabs at us. Please tell them, they are your brothers. They should respect us and our religion.
Again, to all decent Muslims on Nairaland, accept my apology
Goodvibes007: Josiah Doherty is the grandfather of Funsho Doherty that contested in the last Lagos election. They are Saros. However Josiah's mother is Ekiti.
Ambode is also Ilaje even though he was born in Lagos. He is not an Ogun man.
Ps: if Nigeria breaks today, everybody will go back to their region of origin or ancestral lands.
Josiah Doherty is not originally from Ekiti. He is only maternally related to Ekiti. His mother, Helena Fatoregun, is from a royal family in Ekiti.
Yeah, you get it. The Dohertys may likely be of ẹgba paternity.The mother Princess Helena Fatiregun Doherty was from Ekiti. Now the Dohertys are used to Ekiti than any other place. The mother became a missionary and brought Anglican church to Ekiti. She is a name in Ekiti anglikani church. She influenced her children in her work for her Lord and development of her place.
My father and my maternal grandfather were her disciples.. Bless her soul.
When you hear names like obasa, three places I know bear such names: Ìfẹ, Ado -Ekiti,and ìjerò. It has a connection with Ọbàlùfọ̀n, the deified Ife King. Wherever ọbàlùfọ̀n is worshipped, such names come out for their males and Aye for their females.
So Mudasiru Obasa may be from any of these places.
Can you see that aborigines are asking for complicated stuff.
You have a bird's eye view of the whole situation.
Herbert Macaulay was born in Broad Street, Lagos Island on 14th November, 1864 to the family of Thomas Babington Macaulay and Abigail Crowther (One of the Anglican Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's daughters. Ajayi Crowther's father from Osogun now in Oyo State and his mother was from the Yoruba Kingdom of Ketu now in Benin Republic). Herbert Macaulay's parents were children of people captured from what is now Yorubaland in Nigeria, resettled in Sierra Leone by the British West Africa Navy Squadron, and eventually returned to present day Lagos Island in Nigeria.
Ah! The fact that Josiah Doherty was originally of Ekiti descent is very interesting. I never knew that. I do know though that the "Ekiti Parapo" organization was formed on Lagos Island in the late 1800s due to the fallouts of the Kiriji War episode. Lagos Island from the population census already had a significant number of Ekitis and other Yoruba subgroups living and trading there in the 1800s.
Since the 1980s, I've read a lot of advanced history books and archival materials about the formerly enslaved Yoruba returnees from Brazil, Cuba, Sierra Leone (The very wealthy Labulo Davies was born in Sierra Leone of Yoruba parentage, served with the British Navy and got married at a Royal wedding attended by Queen Victoria in England to his first wife, a Yoruba Princess called Aina from the Egbado area now in Ogun State who was taken to England from Whydah by a British Captain and Queen Victoria adopted her. He also pioneered commercial cocoa farming in Yorubaland), United States (the two Vaughan brothers from South Carolina whose father was an Egba Prince and mother was a Native American. Both brothers returned to Africa for the first time in their lives via Liberia on their dying father's instructions), Trinidad and Tobago, and more. Most came from Oyo, Ijesa, Egba, a few Ijebus, Ketus and Bantes of Yoruba-speaking areas of Benin Republic.
It's good to know that Josiah Doherty was from Ekiti because a vast number of the Yoruba returnees of the 1800s from the Americas and Sierra Leone were majorly Oyos, Ijesas (such as the wealthy family of Candido DaRocha who returned from Bahia, Brazil), Egbas folks such as the Alakija's (returned from Bahia in Brazil and the wealthy patriarch was Sir. Adeyemo Alakija, QC, who was also the Daily Times newspaper founder. He was formerly known as Placido Assumpcao but he changed his Brazilian name to his Yoruba ethnic name when he returned from his law studies in England in the 1910s).All these folks either settled on Lagos Island OR in Abeokuta, etc, and became very wealthy international businessmen or professionals who could even afford to send their children to schools and elite Universities in England before 1900! It just blew me away. It was the triumph of human spirit that the savvy Yoruba-Sierra Leonian, Yoruba-Cuban and Yoruba-Brazilian returnees could achieve so much success within a short time frame as wealthy African Merchant princes and professionals in the Victorian era of British colonialism of Nigeria and Africa in general.
I enjoyed reading your input here.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
In his honour, the school I attended was named after him: Doherty Memorial Grammar School, Ìjerò Ekiti, founded in 1955.
