MaxInDHouse:
I love to know the true religion as my parents were Muslims, but some of my relatives are claiming Christians others are traditionalists and most times there's always one argument or the other so i decided to find the one and only true religion.
Out of all these religionists only Jehovah's Witnesses are able to answer all my questions satisfactorily.

But don't let's deviate from the first question you asked.


Jehovah is the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization he used Jesus Christ to establish this group as the one and only organization that's doing God's will today!

Ok. Who is Charles Taze Russell??

MaxInDHouse:
I'm Akeem.
So let's proceed!

What led you to JW? And why did you decide to settle with them?

MaxInDHouse:
If it doesn't worth it then forget it.

But if it does then it's between you and i so may i know the name of your own organization?

Ok.
I'm Mayowa. (What's your real name?)
I belong to the Body of Christ, recently joined Four square gospel church having tried various denominations.

MaxInDHouse:
Before we continue in this discussion know that it's between you and i so erase the thought of many asking me questions while you and i discuss alone.

Do you agree?

Assuming you've agreed.

I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

So what is the name of your own organization?

All this just to answer the founder of your organisation?

Wait, let me consider if it's worth it..

MaxInDHouse:
First of all what is your own definition of the word FOUNDER?

Noun
1. One who founds or establishes (especially said of a company, project, organisation, state)
the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg

2. (genetics) Someone for whose parents one has no data.

You're clearly going with number 2 definition but we are clearly requesting from number 1 definition.

Jehovah/God is the founder of all things. But he uses people. So who did he use to found/establish your organisation?
Please no further evasion.

BigJoe19:
It's very obvious you are a talkative, the way you just kept on writing unnecessary things showed it, some men are really trying. You provide but you are a big baggage of trouble.

She obviously isn't the problem here.
And I'm sure she's only mentioning all this now because of the situation.

The challenge however is that she did not confront the whole situation before marriage.


If this is truly based on true life experiences, I pray she goes to meet a marriage counsellor and they should walk them through the correct measures.
The husband is obviously not born again and she needs to re-dedicate her life.

They both have work to do to salvage their marriage.

MaxInDHouse:
It's not about what i think but what really led to this thread!

Advocatejare always talk about Muslims and i have once told him it's of no use because Christ taught his disciples to present the Good News of God's kingdom only that's what no religion has. But ever since then he started insulting me so i avoided him still he will follow me from thread to thread questioning me about my religion so i told him if both of us are claiming Christians then you must present your church to compare with mine. He refused so i ignored him.

Then a friend of mine (zoer) commented on his thread so i explained (quoting my friend) that the God of Abraham has no business with Muhammad going by what the Bible say.

Only for Advocatejare to start insulting me again so i told him not to worry because i only spoke for my own God so he can continue speaking for his own.

Then he was talking about Charles Taze Russell being the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization that's why i told him not to derail the thread but if he truthfully wants to know who founded Jehovah's Witnesses organization he should start another thread so we can discuss better.

That's what brought about this thread.
I have proved that Charles Taze Russell is not the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses organization so if anyone feels like discussing with me further then it should be a friendly discussion of comparing what you have with mine!

Thanks for patiently honoring me with the background. I really appreciate.

1. Islam vs Christianity discourse is often emotionally charged but we must learn to bring our emotions under control when seeking the Truth.
I don't know if you've read my thread concerning Judaism, Christianity and Islam all being from the same Torah/Pentateich, leading to Father Abraham/Ibrahim and simply in disagreement primarily concerning the promised child (Islam) and invariably Jesus Christ (Judaism and IIslam).

2. Concerning your founder, I don't believe you have answered who the founder is. You have simply said Jehovah is the founder.

3. It is your prerogative to answer or not but please there is no need to be evasive. You can as well let us know you're not comfortable with the question.

fineboynl:
There is an increase rate at which car batteries are stolen. What is fueling it is the high demand and available market for them. The other day they stole my neighbor car battery and I want to know how well can one avoid this. How the thief open the bonnet? And is it possible to chain the bonnet inside?

There's a way ironsmiths work keylock for the battery.
You should consider that if your neighbourhood is prone to battery robbery.

MaxInDHouse:
The purpose of this thread has been met so if anyone wants to bring something different in then we must discuss like interaction not like you asking me questions while you won't answer me when i ask you!

What do you think is the purpose of the thread?
What questions did you ask that were not answered?

We can all agree to answer one another honestly.

Truth is what sets one free. The challenge is usually when we hide the truth for one reason or the other.

MaxInDHouse:
What really baffles me is how i told these guys my journey regarding religion.

I was a Muslim before Jehovah's Witnesses came to present their religion, i compared what i had with what they brought and chose the one that's performing better from my own personal opinion.

So if anyone is now saying anything against Jehovah's Witnesses let them know that i have heard a lot about Islam but nothing moved me until i found a better performing organization therefore it's only the better one that can make sense to me not all these STORY STORY STORY!

But you can still answer simple questions in honesty about JW without being evasive.

achorladey:
The reality here is that the intention of the post and thread had nothing to do with comparison but to expose the lies and manipulations that they say they don't do.

I understand. I lost interest in the thread when I realised Max and the other JW members were being evasive.
It's pointless engaging with such.

MaxInDHouse:
It seems you don't understand what i'm telling you so i will make it simpler now:

No matter what you think, say or do about my religion as long as you can't present yours for me to compare and contrast so as to choose between yours and mine i will forever remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

So your worries all over this forum won't change anything unless you present your own religion and mind you it must be a better performing group than JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

This is a good answer.

Stephen2324:
Relationships are now more difficult than ever. Everyone is being wary and careful of the other person. Men don't trust ladies and ladies don't trust men. Everyone is on the edge, suspicious of the words and actions of other person. Distrust everywhere.

Voluntary unions are now built on falsehood and distrust. No one wants to be the fool. No one wants to be the "mugu". Everyone wants to be the smart one.

The winner of this unfortunate battlefield is he who has the least emotions and who cares less. It is more sad when one realises that these are two species that are meant to work together in a physical and spiritual upbuilding but this is where we are today.

More sad is that, it will get worse as time passes because even these wrong values are being passed on to the younger generation who cling to it more firmly and build on it. Building on the wrong values with so much energy and talent, directed in the wrong direction. And when one seeks to find the root cause of this pain and scar we all bear, we end up going round in circles and plunging ourselves into the very entities that birthed these false attitudes. A vicious cycle.

We are like a legion of lost souls in a dark enclosed tunnel, getting in eachother's way just to find a way out but without a genuine desire to change from within.

It's a vicious cycle.
Love this writ so much, felt like I was reading what I wrote. Well done sir.

My 2 cents on this- every thing is the way it is simply because everyone is doing what seems right in their eyes.
We are not following God's way, but following others- celebs, our own intelligence, our cultures/trafitions, etc.

First off, you will find peace by taking the pressure of marriage off you.

1. Marriage is not competition with your peers or neighbours or family members. Everyone came inro this world alone and alone we will leave it behind.

2. Marriage is not for everybody. You can choose not to get married. Society and people's opinion is irrelevant when you know God's will for you.

3. There is no rushing into marriage, especially for a man. For ladies the pressure can also be avoided knowing there is no menopause in the bible. But complacency is certainly a time waster. Be intentional about working towards what you desire.

4. A good marriage is worth waiting patiently and preparing well for. Build yourself into the husband/wife material you would love your sister/brother to marry

5. Be responbile. Good marriage is for responsible role models. Because the goal is to raise children who will being joy and not reproach to you and the society.

6. Marriage is one of God's blessings. So be sure you're walking and working to know and please God by doing His will. He compensates His own the way He deems fit- if marriage is your desire, he is preparing both of you for each other and it will be worth it.

7. Listen to the testimoniesof others, you will be amazed. God's ways and thoughts are way beyond our faculties. He is the perfect planner and it is His will that will stand.

I hope this helps.

DarkLover:
Difficult af especially for someone like me.
I know what I want in my lady but I don’t really know if I want a lady, I mean I don’t really know what I want.

My standards are high and I don’t know how to trim them down to accommodate a partner, so I get tired of these relationships easily. I may never get married.

Kindly elaborate on the bolded.

oteneaaron:
But there is a particular "Christian" religion I know that accepts money from a Gambling Authority in Norway.

Even when the funding was stopped, they still went to court to challenge the Government of Norway for stopping their funding.

This does not answer my question.
Is there any where it is mentioned scripturally not to collect money from a sinner?

chiommy123:
For the church to collect gambling and prostitution money that's indirectly encouraging the trade.

You've spoken well but can you tell us anyone who rejected money in the bible because it came from a sinner?
By the way Elisha rejected the gifts of Naman simply because he believed he could buy his healing.

The Bible even specifically says the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. Isaiah 60:5b

But I think it's important such case should be properly addressed. Such school or church should emphasise to it's members or pupils that gambling and prostitution are wrong. So that the enemy does not take advantage of them and mislead them to think you support such.

Modified:
To properly balance this, a church or school should not depend on the money of anyone lest they become a slave to them. He who pays the piper dictates the tune.
And should not partner with them in business.

Prov.1.14-16 Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse"
My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;
For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.

Ningishzida:
Christianity; the religion of texts copied from Sumerian Tablets, used by the Europeans to enslave the dumbest among humans.
I can't believe I used to shun worshipping the God's of my ancestors because my early child hood religious brainwashing made me afraid that a White man in some heaven will reward/punish me.
To hell with every Abrahamic religions and the division they have created for humans.
Pastors can worship the God's of their ancestors and keep scamming the mugus who believe a White man is watching over them from Heaven. Abrahamic religious people are Creatures, not conscious enough to be considered Beings, therefore, they should be treated as such.

Which religion do you presently practice?

Fujiyama:

I guess we'll never see eye to eye on this issue then. But I appreciate your taking the time to explain, even though I disagree very strongly with your view. Time will tell who was wrong...and who was right.

Peace.

You've spoken well.
Time justifies all.

Princejydo:
Good afternoon nairalander, pls in my apartment, the bore hole is sunk besides the soakaway and now the soakaway is full, and the water is usually coming out especially during the raining season. I want to ask that is it safe to drink the water. Though we have been drinking it since I got there around 2019 but now the soakaway is full and the caretaker has refused to do the needfull

With good engineering/plumbing, it should be safe. But judging by the attached pic, not so encouraging.

In Nigeria, not sure we have potable water. Don't even advice any borehole water for drinking except you're truly lucky. Pure water is advisaeabe. Even then not all pure water is pure.lol God save us all.

Fujiyama:

I gave you a few examples (and there are lots more) of this man's uneasy relationship with truth and facts and ethics...and you still make the claims above. There's nothing left for me to say.

I don't play this diversionary, deflective 'IPOB' game. It wasn't IPOB that was sworn in on 29 May 2023. It isn't IPOB travelling to India in my name later on this month. The sooner the man's supporters drop this IPOB nonsense and prevail on their man to actually govern, the better for him. There are millions of us who have nothing to do with IPOB and our patience is wearing dangerously thin with these childish games.

And...you claim Yemi Osinbajo's records are stellar and he has somehow attained near celestial status?

This is yet another example of the confusion in our public space. Yemi Osinbajo was VP for 8 years - a key player in the Buhari (mal)administration from start to finish. Today, Buhari is almost like a leper...even to members of his own party - and yet Osinbajo who was with him 'from top to bottom' should be exonerated? It doesn't work that way.

Yemi Osinbajo is only a man.

P.S. I saw your post on the other thread where you spoke sagely about the challenges in raising the girl child to recognize her true worth in this social media driven age. I then look at your comments here and...

I'm a believer, most of my posts are not to impress anyone. I simply speak scriptural wisdom.

The last election and its aftermath has further proven and accentuated the fact that wisdom and intelligence are mutually exclusive.
In fact, divine wisdom is at dissonance with human wisdom. Which is why it may seem we do not see from the same perspective on this issue.

I know Tinubu was elected by God's providence. He is an answered prayer to years of prayers.
How do I know this? I could try to explain but it will only make matters more confusing.

If I did not understand this, it would be likewise difficult for me to see through this haze and walk through this maze Nigeria is passing through.

But if indeed you want to be unbiased, look beyond the propaganda and study his administration, his policies, his political prowess and inclusion. He is a man truly with Nigeria at heart, a respecter of democracy who has fought the good fight of establishing democratic rule in Nigeria from the very inception with NADECO.

Economists, Political scientists and Financial experts who understand have been hailing every decision and policy BAT has been implementing.

I appreciate your candor which is why I am really hoping you see beyond the propaganda. See beyond the history Tinubu has, he is not an angel in fact he was my least preferred candidate in the primaries. I wanted Yemi Osinbajo or at least Wike since Fashola and Donald Duke who are my model politicians did not run.

My conclusion is simple, there are so many detractors peddling distractions. No matter how seemingly genuine these cases are, there are institutions saddled with the responsibility of investigating and meting justice. Let's focus on the man's actual works. Let his works speak for him.
He has 4 years, he has barely spent 90days and has made such indelible marks and herculean strides that his predecessors could not accomplish. True, the price we are paying is the harsh realities of fighting a corrupt system and hopefully when these policies begin to yield positive result next year, our pain and sacrifice will be worth it.

God bless you and God bless Nigeria and all who mean well for her.

Feintline:
The same criminal omokiri that deceived you that he went to chicago university was told thuvnubu abi na thivu was there.
He lies was exposed on arise tv and he began to balabaluu.

It is a grievous insult to sanity to compare po credentials and verificity with a thuvnubu .

Tinubu matter has shown than reno omokiri is certified criminal. A criminal accomplice is also a criminal.

But Tinubu has always been a high flyer and graduated Magna cum laude unlike PO who graduated with 2nd Class Lowers.

Like why is this still so difficult for you to get into your greasy head? (Lol)

Strange choice of words here. Desecrate?

Not in any way holding a brief for the fellow you quoted...but the USA is run by people. Ordinary people. They do make mistakes - sometimes, big ones. They also have degree mills...just like we do.

Always remember that.



^^^
Still using overly dramatic language. There is nothing holy here that can suffer desecration of any form - we are talking about a limited liability corporation that exists solely to make profit! What is sacred there?

And...the man worked for Mobil Oil Nigeria (as it was then known). Not Exxon Mobil Corporation. And...I wonder why you omitted his 'previous work experience' with accounting firms...some inconvenient truths there that you would rather not touch, right?

Lol my use of "desecrate" is for emotional and aesthetic value. E dey pain me say we still dey om top this forgone matter.

In US, education is a business yes but also with strict values and standards they don't compromise except for maybe really exceptional cases.
I doubt BAT would qualify for such exceptions in 1979.

To even at this stage in his political career be questioning his educational background is asinine and I don't think any educated person should alignwith a demographic that peddles such.

Reno will definitely make a Profound Ambassador.
Just not sure his antecedents bud well for him.
Social Media and Internet never forgets.
Let's watch as the story unfurls.

Islie:
Also commenting, a front-end developer, Mr Adeyinka Olukayode, urged youths to be careful with their intimacy videos.

“If you must make videos for whatever reasons, please, be sure to delete them after whatever it is you want to use it for is done. The way the world is now is that once that video or picture is on your phone, it is open to attacks and one can do almost nothing when it gets to the wrong hands,” he said.

Stop sending nudes to people you're only dating and not married to.
If possible don't send nudes at all.

Judgment comes in different ways all the time.
This is simoly their judgement day for being sexually in disciplined.

I hope they learn the necessary lessons and choose to live right.

Raising girls is still the hardest things for a parent. Cos if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do?
There is so much temptation to make a girl explore her sexuality as a means of worth or value.

Unless she understand who she is and what she carries especially through biblical revelation, it truly is difficult.

God help our girls know Christ.
God help ladies listen to reason.
God help raise virtuous ladies in this generation and generations to come.

PhillipPHD:
She’s announcing her singlehood for the next simp to wife her up.

Sadly, no commitment at all, these women are only for the fair weather. They are with you just for a good time, not a long time.

If he is wise, he will see the silver lining in this sexual allegation. He never had a wife, he had someone leeching off him.

Tough times really help reveal the people you call friends and family.

I believe he is innocent of the allegation as celebrities have become the major targets of these evil jezebels going after men who lack self control when it comes to sex.

From the letter, it's obvious he's the one iwho loves more. He probably married her cos of her beauty, and she married him for his money and fame.

When marriage is built and hinged on superficials, how can it stand when the storms come?
Christ is the sure foundation, then other core attributes come after.

I hope he really learns his lesson and should be the one speeding up the divorce once he survives this allegation.

I don't know what is more shameful.
That some people are still peddling this.
Or that majority of these people are supposed to be educated.

Even if they don't trust our own educational institutions, will they desecrate USA's educational institutions as well?
Will they desecrate blue chip companies like ExxonMobil where BAT had work experience to his credit?

Do they really know how foolish they look and sound to the rest of us and the world right now?
Shameful to say the least.

It all stem from Carnal Desire of we men .. You are with Slim girl aka Bonny & a girl Cum Roll 9-11 Tire Waka Pass You .. An Average Nigerian Dude must Follow the Bazooka If he No Follow am with Eyes, His Bonny Girl Knows He Follow Am with Minds ...

Nevertheless, The Society & Judgemental is always the Problem... If We all Live & Let Live, E for Plum ...

You gerrit.
That's why one must be self-aware and have their own mind. Cos society and people's opinions can mess you up.
As much as I am attracted to physical beauty, the character is priority for me.

Godliness, character, intelligence and beauty, in that order for me.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest priority,
Godliness is 10 and beauty can be a 5 or 6. As not as she no ugly.lol

I thought Tinubu hit the ground running?

Has he now slowed down and now crawling?

With everything he and his administration are doing? Only the blind or blind hater won't acknowledge that.

When God finally shows you mercy, your scales will remove and you will see the light

IconicR:
Seriously I've seen more marriages of uneducated couples lasting very long than the educated ones, what could be the reason for this?

Cos when you eat of the tree of knowledge, your eyes open.

But seriously, intelligence begets pride if care isn't taken. And what makes marriage work really is thag one or both parties must be ssubmissive.

Besides intelligent people tend to have trust issues. Either psychoanalysing everything the other does or trying to outsmart each other.

But with not so educated people, they don't don't know so much about psychology so they're safe.

DonroxyII:
Most Slim ladies are Pepperish .. It usually stem from inferiority complex from childhood where the body, boobs & Nyansh ain't growing with respect to the Societal Needs thus the remaining Space for the Specs is filled with Toxicity.....

Girls with specs Everywhere are usually Confident & Easy to be with But Cheated Upon With Same Bone Girls . .


Heaven and Naija Men shuuuuu ... ... I pray make e no Hard sha ...

Lol this your analysis, guess that makes sense.
But really it's easier for a slim lady to add flesh than a fat person to lose weight though.
Except the person likes it that way which is also fine.

Honestly as much as looks is important, self-confidence is what matters most.
There are slim girls who are more confident than thick/fat girls and vice versa. Just because the person is comfortable in their skin.
