Hello my nairaland family. I'll make this post short & precise... I buried my dad around april this year.

Am the only available child, as my elder brother relocated abroad in january & has refused to make contact. I took a loan to sponsor my bro's trip abroad, & also took another loan from my bank to partly sponsor the burial as all the family burden rested on my shoulders..

Last month, my dad appeared in a dream telling me to hurry up in paying a vow he made in church of abt 50k before he died. I was warming up to pay the vow this month's ending as am stil servicing the loans i got from my bank.

He appeared last week to remind me but yesterday night's own came with severe flocking. Am stil feeling the pains from the cain he used at my back & joints..

How do i contain him before month end when i'll be bouyant to pay the vow.

Am afraid he may return with more beatings,. & am jst 30yrs old, & wouldnt want to have any part of my body deformed as a result.

Your suggestions wil be greatly appreciated!

Make good enquiry before any attempts. I learned if you didn't go in through NDA, there is a little discrimination. If you are aiming so high there you could be disappointed later. Good luck anyways.

JWs copy that practice of Jesus.

Do Pastorpreneurs have the truth?
Do sheeples of Pastorpreneurs have truth?

Janosky:
In your own Bible, did Jesus Christ answer every question he was asked?

DappaD:
Never mind me. You have nothing to learn from Witnesses but you solicit answers from them every now and then. Well done.

achorladey:
Your problem is laziness to probe to your past. You are blind followers of confused people......

Ehn, should they go into the past na the way, the truth and the life to APOSTASY be that.

That their brag and sanctity of marriage dey make me laugh Even despite the many rules in their various manuals about this marriage of a thing you will still see how members use it to perpetrate whatever they want to do and get away with it.

DappaD:
No wonder the screenshot below speaks volume. You’re not even honest with yourself.

achorladey:
No wonder mightysparrow used DELUSION

Honestly, I’d say we’ll expect that such would reoccur in the future when people would see all the distressing things happening around them and start looking for Jehovah’s Witnesses to come and preach to them..... Dappad

Covid-19 is almost two years old and a distressing pandemic. I bet you know the state of most of your kingdom halls are at the moment. They are still under lock and key and some SOLD. Your religious organisation is struggling towards convincing you and other members to get vaccinated.

You didn't even open it up or made it available for use when Covid 19 was raging all over the world as emergency centres or drive through areas for COVID 19 testing. We didn't even here anyone from other Christians denominations running their to seek protection.

Within same period other Christian denominations moved on with their activities and gathering with no worry whether your religious organisation are still preaching or not

DappaD:
Not just him, anyway. But many other people like him. I often come across people who love how Witnesses do their thing in terms of worship and all.

BUT!

where they seem to get lost is when you choose not to engage in any form of sacred service with them. 2Corinthians 6:14-17
That’s when they turn furious and start saying all manner of distasteful things against you.

I laughed when he said he didn’t have anything to learn from Witnesses. Yet in all the threads he has created on Nairaland, it’s usually Witnesses who do come to his rescue. In fact, for even asking such easy questions like “Why did God kill Jesus instead of Satan” shows how the man is languishing spiritually(Luke 16:24) It seems like the next step forward for him is atheism.

MaxInDHouse:
Can you remember any religion that doesn't proclaim they believe in God?
So what exactly do you think about Jesus' statement when he said:

I am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, no one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6

So it's the same deceiver who blinded billions claiming they're worshipers of God {2Corinthians 4:4} turning away from Jesus that multiplied false religions in the name of Jesus {Matthew 7:21-23} so wake up my friend!
There is just one single group of people practicing pure worship, if you can't find them then you've not found that NARROW PATH that leads to everlasting life! Matthew 7:13-14

MaxInDHouse:
When Jesus said:

[b]“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6[/b]

There were numerous religious sects in Israel all using the same scriptures from Genesis to Malachi!

So there can only be one true religion or you follow the BROAD ROAD! Matthew 7:13-14

MaxInDHouse:
The highlighted is where your problem is hiding away from you!

Because when Christianity began it was just a group with zero chances for denominationalism! John 17:20-23; Romans 15:5-6; 1Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3

So if something like this mess up where leaders of different sects are contradicting themselves that you're now calling Christianity today then you must be a clown! 2Corinthians 4:4

MaxInDHouse:
Your problem is the misconceptions that there is no PERFECT religion, yet you want to claim a Christian forgetting that the founder of Christianity often say there is always a perfect religion! John 4:22, 14:6
Whether you like it or not, know today that you are never a true Christian until you're able to find that PERFECT religion {Matthew 7:13-14} and play your own part among them UNFAILINGLY! Luke 9:61-62
Whether you're born into the perfect religion or someone preached to you, there will always be stumbling blocks (troubles) within and without, that's why Jesus said:

Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake,, and the gospel's, But, he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life! Mark 10:29-30

So even though Archangel Michael (Jesus Christ) the one leading us is a perfect leader, there will always be some mistakes on the part of imperfect followers, your sister in-law failed woefully because she gave up instead of enduring to the end! Matthew 24:13

achorladey:
Whether you like it or not, know today that you are never a true Christian until you're able to find that PERFECT religion

Wetin concern you and the word CHRISTIAN?

No be the same you state the name CHRISTIAN is cursed and bastardized that your Jehovah has changed it in 1931.

Next time write "you are never a true Jehovah’s Witness" . The word Christian is irrelevant to your God Jehovah

After all mightysparrow is a Christian not a Jehovah witnesses why should he bother being a fake one or real one

Thanks for reminding us the perfect religion is the one set up by imperfect men +/- 140 years ago.

Janosky:
Do you & your Pastorpreneurs believe that those not paying membership fees to your Pastorpreneurs are saved?

You are very deluded, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Acts 15:14,17, Matthew 12:15-18 & John 9:4 is the proof.

The other mumu WAILER forgot he told this forum that "Noah was saved through a channel."

MaxInDHouse:
Isaac fathered two boys "Esau and Jacob" one cherished pure worship and the heritage while the other feel there is something far much more important than that!

Of course the one who cherish our heritage is one of us while the other is just a waste product! Romans 9:3

As she has allowed herself to be stumbled our God has no pleasure in her anymore! Hebrews 10:38

That's why Jesus said we must exert ourselves vigorously to enter through the narrow gate because many (like your sister in-law) will struggle to enter but she won't be able to get in! Luke 13:24

I'm not responding to the other guy because it's a sin for any JW to continue chatting with him after discovering he's an Apostate!

amuwo1980:
I like tinubu and he doesn’t discriminate against the igbos , at least we saw that during his tenure

MaxInDHouse:
The bolded shows she's not one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!
No matter what happens a REAL JW will live and die as a JW!

MaxInDHouse:
No wahala,they will resolve their own problem.
Thank you!

achorladey:
MaxInDHouse that didn't even know that the religious organization he belongs is registered as a CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION in its article of association until live evidence was shown to him before he accepted.

His friend can't boast about their charitable prowess as well. Even to join redress schemes in countries they are found wanting na serious palaver for them. They want to run away but when faced with sanctions raging towards removing their charity status they reconsider their stands and quickly fall in line after all to start paying TAX no be child's play

Janosky:
Psalms 68:11
New American Standard Bible
"The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim good news are a great army"

DappaD:
The highlighted is incorrect jare. As long as your blood brother is a baptized member in the congregation and is in serious need, he himself will be taken care of. Galatians 6:10, 1John 3:17
If he is a family man, then further consideration will also be given.
When Witnesses organize their disaster relief for their brothers, it is almost always the case that non-Witness relatives benefit from it.



If that’s the case, why do the Witnesses have higher success rates when it comes to happy marriages that stand the test of time? Because the counsel given about marriage comes straight from the Scriptures. Genesis 2:24, Proverbs 5:18, Ecclesiastes 9:9, Malachi 2:14-16, Ephesians 5:33
And not human philosophies where the pastor at the pulpit says one or two fleeting words without ever referring to the Scriptures.

I guess you would have come across our publication “The Secret of Family Happiness” that used to reign in the early 2000’s. A lot of persons including your pastors have benefitted a whole lot from that book. Take your time and go through it again if you had done so before.

MaxInDHouse:
Sorry, you were shunned because you're not a witness!
The elders are not supposed to disclose confidential information of any member to anyone who is not a member of the elders in that particular congregation! Even other Witnesses are not supposed to here anything about the matter unless one of the couple reveal it to them. So you're not entitled to such confidently matter. The man in question may be your blood brother but it's only him that can disclose his secret to you not the elders in the congregation!
But if i may ask, is the wife also one of JWs?

MaxInDHouse:
It's all men's affairs! 1Corinthians 14:33-35

MaxInDHouse:
The title "PASTOR" is derived from the word "PASTURE" which literally means "GREEN VEGETATION"
So it's almost the same as SHEPHERDS but unlike the Shepherds who only takes the sheep out to look for green vegetations, the Pastor is more attached to each sheep knowing that he will give an account to the owner if any should get lost under his care.
So he tenderly attends to each sheep to bear their feelings and help them cope with life anxieties that's the work Jesus can't do physically because many people are looking onto him note that he called himself the "good shepherd" {John 10:11} but with the help of God's Holy Spirit Jesus chose trust worthy men amongst his followers for this assignment! Ephesians 4:11

That's what people like Timothy were doing in the Christian Congregation back then, Paul encouraged this young Pastor to show special interest in each member of the church {1Timothy 5:1-4} Paul was serving as an Apostle {Romans 11:13; 1Timothy 2:7} but those serving as Pastors are to take care of each and every member of the church.

Today Jehovah's Witnesses have men serving as Pastors in our midst but because they don't bear titles most people often say we don't have Pastors. Well if you must know those serving as Pastors are the first to notice any JW that comes into their territory that's why we can boast of traveling to anywhere in the world and feel at home because our pastors there are in trouble before Jesus if they fail to take good care of any of Jesus' sheep that comes around their territory!

Nah Men you be.
Sanwo olu and other southern state shod.do quick to join those men above

MaxInDHouse:
That's it!
Christian women back then don't pastor along with their husbands but they're also hardworking in the ministry playing their part.
The only place where you can't see them is standing on the pulpit to lead in worship, that's exactly what we do today.
Most people know the members of our GB but hard can you find someone who knows their wives (even among JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES) it's on pages of the Watchtower when they're talking about their stories!
For instance if not for this publication where a member of the GB is pictured sitting next to his wife at the meetings, i'm sure millions of Jehovah's Witnesses throughout the earth has never seen brother Samuel Herd's wife!

This is how we study our Watchtower magazine, notice the little girl commenting while everyone in the congregation (including a member of the GB) is learning together as one family!

MaxInDHouse:
Men are chosen through the spirit of God so what has that got to do with the question you asked?


You only ask to argue, you don't read even when you need answers to important questions. In that way you're not helping yourself. Now read this.
