The error with this guys is their tendency to take the book of Revelations literal...
If only you understand that the book is written in prophetic language. Now, prophets do not use plain speech. They speak in symbols... That's why you find stuffs such as candle sticks, lamb, lions, etc...
To this end, the book of Revelations is only best interpreted in the light of the plain teachings of the epistles (Romans - Jude)...

The same way the early church grew by the teachings of the Apostles, their interpretation of the old testament prophets (Acts 2:42), that is the same way the book of Revelations is to be interpreted.
Good observation, but I think they have a mindset and seek to interpret along that line.

These are deluded people, they are so righteous that they can condemn Paul, Peter and other Apostles. Many of them are mentally lazy that cannot read books written by the same organisation 70 - 80 years ago and see many of false teachings they have subtly abandoned. The other day one enthusiast was discussing with me and we got to a point where he would not admit the organisation was wrong, he brought out their hymn book and read to me the title: ' The Light is Getting Clearer' I responded, ' The Light has never been dim but you organisation gave it, it's own colouration.

OLAADEGBU:
"This 'little flock' of 144,000 Kingdom heirs, then, are those ones from among mankind who are 'born again.'"2

The Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate the communion supper only once a year.3 In their annual communion service, the congregations gather in their various kingdom halls. This is done on the 14th of Nissan, the Passover date on the Jewish calendar, which usually falls in March or April of each year in the Gregorian calendar. During the service, the cup is passed from Jehovah's Witness to Jehovah's Witness. None of them partake-- except the very few who are of the 144,000.
Yes
In John 6:53-54, Jesus said, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54 'He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day." (NASB).

I am not here going to discuss the nature of the communion and compare Catholic and Protestant views of the elements; rather, the issue is that Jesus said to the Jews that they must take of the communion, which He later instituted in Matt. 26:26-28; and that if they did not partake, then they had no life in them, 6:53.

According to the Watchtower, the "life" spoken of in 6:53 is everlasting life.

"On that occasion Jesus was not speaking to those circumcised Israelites about "everlasting life" as human creatures on a Paradise earth under his millennial kingdom. Rather, he was speaking about the very same opportunity that he was setting before the apostle Peter and his fellow apostles by means of the "sayings of everlasting life." It was the opportunity to gain inherent life with the Christ in the heavens, "life in yourselves." (John 6:53) By reigning with him in heaven they could pass on to mankind the life-giving benefits of his sacrifice. 4

According to Jehovah's Witness theology, some Witnesses will be raised to "immortal life" and others to "everlasting life." Immortal life is only for the 144,000 that go to be with the Lord in heaven. They do not have resurrected bodies but have "spirit bodies." Everlasting life is for those on Paradise earth and consists of a resurrected body that must be maintained through eating, sleeping, etc.

As we see in the quote above, according to the Watchtower, the life that Jesus was speaking of was "everlasting life"; that is, life in heaven for the 144,000. Therefore, the Witnesses teach that the communion supper is instituted only for the 144,000 Jews and not for all Witnesses.

Since Jesus bought the church with His blood (Acts 20:28) and His blood is the blood of the covenant for the church (1 Cor. 11:25), then communion is supposed to be for all Christians and not just 144,000 elite Jehovah's Witnesses.

"I don't know how anyone can tell me with a straight face that an all-forgiving, all-loving, compassionate God would condemn anyone to eternal pain and agony in the bowels of Hell for eternity just for the actions of a mere 90 years on this planet."

The Bible doesn't say that God is all-forgiving and all-loving. You are creating an "idol"--making up a false god in your mind. God is holy and just as well as loving and merciful.

His love is seen in that He gave you the gift of life. His mercy is seen in allowing you to sin against Him. But if you refuse to repent and end up dying in your sins, He will give you absolute justice, and that's a fearful thing.

Damnation means forever being damned from all the pleasures He lavished upon you, for which you were so unthankful.

I was reading and enjoying your article until I stumble on the bold. Dem de talk you come bring Yoruba. It will rather be the reverse. Mind you, the Fulani have installed a king in Lagos (though they disguise the name) from where it will liaise with the Emir of Illorin to collapse the traditional leadership of the Yoruba. Also take note that most of the Yoruba Obas are muslims by faith. By this you understand how they can be hoodwinked.
Lie, I schooled in Ilorin when the tension to take over the Emirate was so real and agitation was strong by the descendants of Afonja. Sha'aba Lafiaji and Babangida used governmental power to suppress them. These are Muslims. During Obasanjo's regime, if allowed, OPC lead by their factional leader, Gani Adam, a Muslim wanted to go and wrest power from the Fulanis. The current Chief Imam of Ilorin was exciting youths and OPC leader, Kwara chapter to fight. So, I don't think the case is buried and forgotten over hundred years after, I don't believe Ilorin will be an extension of Fulani kingdom in the heart of Yoruba kingdom.

Olaadegbu knew that out of all the religions he's seeing around, the one and only group that beats his daddy superintendent's followers as per high intellect are Jehovah's Witnesses! wink

*Don't drink alcoholic beverages.
*Don't dress fashionably
*Don't use makeups
*Don't wear jewelries
*Ritual fastings
*Vigils and so on
Jehovah's Witnesses are always ahead of them in all things, and what's more?
We're the best friendly neighbours you can think of!
And our faith remains strong despite the fact that we don't dress or behave like mourners or wailers!
That's to prove that this is REAL faith NOT just gullibility! wink

Nigeria is not a zoo but an Animal Farm where some are greater than others. it is another feather to the growing dominance of the Fulani. Remember, sometimes in Benue, when the Fulani killed over a 100 people in one kick, till today no single arrest has been made. but when the people revenged, they were arrested. In fact, till now, no news of their arraignment or release.

The Fulanization is here
I see Nigeria beyond Fulanization. What Bihari wanted to initiate could lead to his raze being wiped out in ethnic cleansing when all other oppressed ethnic groups would be reacting. It may not be in his life time. Should Nigeria break up today, do you believe Yoruba will not oust Fulani our of Ilorin? I doubt it.

Maximus69:
Will you also be sincere with my response?
Well i'll answer you anyways.
(1) I have read it thousands of times before i met Jehovah's Witnesses and i can't find anything worthwhile in it because of the gibberish i always hear in Churches of Christendom right from childhood. But when i met Jehovah's Witnesses, they explained that it's not to be read alone because God have poured out the Holy Spirit on ONLY Jesus' true followers and if you haven't met them you can never understand the Bible!
So i studied the Bible with them and discovered three things
1~ God's word is powerful enough to penetrate hearts and touch people's emotions if handled by a true Christian! Act 26:28
2~ You'll feel totally empty if you're not part of the true followers of Christ when listening to what they've got to say! Act 2:37
3~ Whoever hates the truth can't discern it alone until he's opportuned to speak with true Christians, because the heart of man is really treacherous {Jeremiah 17:9} so it's only the true word of God when handled by God's true servants can reach human's heart! Hebrews 4:12

So while few who truthfully loves God will be ready to accept counsels, majority will detest God's word and results to harboring animosity against whoever utters it! John 17:14-16

(2) KNOWLEDGE is "the accumulation of useful information" all sane individuals have a measure of it!

But

WISDOM is "the practical application of accumulated information for lasting benefits" Jesus explained that this is what most people who don't know the truth can never have!
Because you must learn the THEORY about an unseen intelligent being revered as God, know the PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS of what he's passing to you and the BENEFITS will follow immediately as you apply what you've learnt. This is NOT about miracles but as unbelievers always wish but you live exemplary life that's teaching others even without saying a word!

So if your worship doesn't have these three
THEORY
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS and
BENEFITS
There is no way you'll be confident and bold enough to preach and teach people just as Jesus commanded his faithful followers to do! Matthew 10:3-15, 24:14,28:19-20
. Thanks for the exposé You have not definitely answered my questions. However. what is the central theme of the Bible?

Sorry for my grammatical error. However, like I always ask your brothers and I have been reading your publications since mid 70s. One question for you or two: (please be very sincere as if standing before God)
