Check our conversations together. I have confronted Olaadegbu several times on his threads. I rebuked him in love where I perceived he erred.

That's why they call it New World Translation, that is, Their own translation. It isn't called Holy Bible because It is not a Bible. It is a Doctrinal book specifically made to Deceive JWs not others.

Courz:
Go and see the way they are disgracing themselves in that thread I posted. They couldn't address any of the manipulated verses in their Bible. They were busy bringing up unrelated topics. Fornicator Aemmyjah brought up KJV, Islamist Mad MaxinDhouse brought up War. They were trying to use sense to derail the thread but they failed woefully. All their points were nothing but childish rubbish. Acting like real Satanists.

As for the manuscripts they use to translate, guy, these people use the same Bible we read and at the same time use Bible made by questionable characters that are members of Cults or are into spiritism. It is deliberate. Their mission was just to create a Twisted version to Deceive people.

This list has been well 'subsidized' for propaganda and bragging rights

As a northerner, I must protest the lack of federal character and quota system I'm this list above.

Courz:
Stop using Trinitarians to argue. Are you a Trinitarian or a JW? Focus on the deception of your Cult. Stop this obsession with Trinitarians. If you want to join them, just say so, so that we can understand why you keep using them for arguments. Are you a JW or a Trinitarian? Pick one.

LIAR
Sparrow deluded WAILER deceiving himself and his fellow WAILERS,dem no dey cross check facts.

New world translation of Exodus 34:14 is very correct.


You must not bow down to another god,+ for Jehovah is known for* requiring exclusive devotion.* Yes, he is a God who requires exclusive devotion.+"
Hebrew lexicon 7067 qanna - "demanding exclusive service"/ God demanding exclusive devotion.


Compare NWT with the Hebrew text, is the word "name " in the Hebrew text?

Shameless lying liar, proven something to a liar is like fetching water with basket.



If not because your oponu is grade 1, you're a Christian but religionists stole "OUR FORMER GROUP NAME..."

The name you're claiming is still what you called FORMER

O ma ṣee ooo



It's from your own mouth that "whoever thinks he BELINGS to Christ under the CURSED and BASTARDISED old group name(Christian) should think twice"

But the oponu lying liar Jws like his father the Devil is now claiming I AM A CHRISTIAN.

Bury your dead head in sand.

Jesus Christ has the power to protect anyone.

I am not denying the fact that miraculous protection or defence happens. But let us stop living in denial.

Go to Boko-Haram-ravaged areas or become a soldier and be posted to fight Boko Haram, let us see how Boko Haram fears you because you are serving Jesus Christ.

Any armed robber that fears you will equally fear a Muslim or another person. Any armed robber that doesn't fear Muslim or any other person will not come to you and change except that moment is the armed robber's appointed time for repentance.

OnknownSoldier:
I am naturally drawn to things that people generally criticize and most of the time, I do find out that most of these things are not really what people say they are. People would generally hate what they don’t understand and that is the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. While growing up, I watched people avoid interacting with them and this made me curious to know about their doctrines.

After studying with the Jehovah’s Witnesses for more than 12 years, I can say that they are widely misunderstood by most people. Do I totally agree with them? No, I do not but I share their perspective in some areas like the subject of the Trinity and Tithing. I do not actively study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses anymore but here are areas they have my respect.

First, is evangelism. Without a doubt, no other Christian set actively evangelizes like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, none even come close. As a Jehovah’s Witness, you are readily mandated to evangelize not just occasionally like most Christian sets but regularly.

Second is their civility. As far as I am concerned, I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses are the most civilized Christian set in Nigeria. Even though they use microphones in their services, you can barely hear a sound outside their kingdom hall. I think most churches need to learn from them on how not to disturb people with their horn speakers. It can be very annoying.

Third is their uniformity. I have gone to kingdom halls and many Jehovah’s Witnesses’ conferences in many regions of the country and I can confirm that they teach the same message everywhere. Most multi-branched churches in Nigeria are not like this. Don't let me start to mention names.

Fourth is biblical knowledge. When it comes to biblical knowledge, I haven't seen that Christian set that can win the Jehovah’s Witnesses in a Bible-based debate even though a lot of people will argue that their teachings are heresies. The truth of the matter is that no church is perfect and Jehovah’s Witnesses are not an exemption. Try an engage a random 8-year-old Jehovah’s Witness, you will be shocked by his or her narration of biblical events.

Recently, I was watching a video of two pastors arguing about tithing on Facebook and I was so irritated by the pastor arguing for why Christians should pay tithe. The Bible verses he was using as his defense were totally irrelevant to the points he was making. Jehovah's Witnesses are not like that. If you ask a Jehovah’s Witness a question he doesn't know, he will not try to be proof smart to you or beat around the bush, he will simply tell you that he does have the answer to your question but he will reach out to his superior for the answer. Trust me, he will always come back with a reasonable response even if it doesn't really answer the question exactly but at least it will sound very reasonable.

Fifth is their lower divorce rate. Of course, there will certainly be Jehovah’s Witnesses who are divorced but I am yet to see one myself. Do you know one? The Bible says, “By their fruits, we shall know them. This is a clear testament to show that the word of God is of great effect in their lives. Yeah!

Sixth is their devotion. When it comes to devotion, I rate the Jehovah’s Witnesses very high. A Jehovah’s Witness with an MSc can decide to turn into an artisan simply because he doesn't want anything that will hinder him from going to weekly meetings at the Kingdom Hall. One of their members once told me that he has never missed a meeting in his entire life and if I wasn't mistaken, he should be around 32 years of age when he told me that. Jehovah’s Witnesses don't joke with their meetings and that's why you will rarely see a Jehovah’s Witness working in the bank.

Lastly is their less emphasis on money. This is one area I respect the Jehovah’s Witnesses most. A Jehovah’s Witness will politely stop you by the road, hand you a book that would have cost you a lot of money, and ask that you give a free-will offering. Even if N5 is all you have, he will collect. This is not the way it is in other Christian sets where everything is for sale. The only Christian set that is a bit like the Jehovah’s Witnesses in this regard is the Christ Embassy with their “Rhapsody of Reality”. It will shock you that the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not take offerings or tithe in their meeting except a box at the entrance of the hall where members can drop their voluntary offerings. Sometimes I imagine how they can run their publications and the maintenance of their halls. I don't think there is any better way to explain the true provision of God than that.

In conclusion, I know a lot of Christians see the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a heretic movement or even a demonic one but I don't think so. Instead, I see sincere people who are devoted to God in the way they know best. Whether their doctrine is accurate or not, I just hope God counts the sincerity of their heart and devotion as righteousness.

Tinubu's aides should be telling him the truth. He's far from reality and thinks he's still Lagos state governor.

A typical Muslim doesn't fight for power, they believe only God can give and take power. The former Emir of Kano should also accept his fate and allow Sanusi return in peace.

He came out here claiming he knew something while he knows nothing.

I agree with you on devotion, civility, uniformity, low divorce rate and low emphasis on money.

But have you checked the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding these qualities?
