The status bar now looks entirely different from what it used to be on the android 11... I think it looks more beautiful if you ask me....

iOS copycats.

kenzysmith:
is a privilege to finish God house before thinking of building mine

Just as I thought.
Well done.

She has been mentally ill from day one.

kenzysmith:

Have you built your own house?

Abbeyworld:
I know you're not the one saying this but the devil that's using your mind as a permanent place of residents. May God save and deliver your soul.

My comment wasn’t intended for your type. Move along.

Kobojunkie:
Again...Oh, so you don't believe in assessing what is in fact written in scripture of God?.

You believe the religion is instead about the worship of men and their doctrines, the very same lies Jesus Christ is written to have warned His followers against listening to?

The Catholic Church may have compiled the books into a Bible, but the Catholic Church did not and does not write scripture - at least not scripture that is accepted in Judaism and all of Christiandom - maybe only among their own. Scripture exists independent of the Catholic church.

The so-called word of God is so vague that ten individuals after reading it will have ten different interpretations depending on their idiosyncrasies. How can you know better than the people who have access to the original manuscripts and chose which books to include in the Bible and which ones to hide?

Nonsense.

Madam we know the clergy are in cahoots with the politicians to make sure that the status quo remains. They let you operate freely without paying taxes so that you stay out of their business. It’s a symbiotic relationship albeit demonic.

Praying from now to a thousand years will make no difference.

Kobojunkie:
Scripture was written by men over thousands of years.

You too like circular argumentation.

You said the scripture was written by men thousands of years ago, isn't the Catholic Church that compiled/wrote the Bible as you know it today almost two thousand years ago?

All of a sudden, you know more than an organization that have been in existence for eons? Do you have other documents to support your belief apart from the one handed down to you by the Roman Catholic Church?

Kobojunkie:

I don't think I can be considered an iconoclast since I believe in God and His Law - His Word and Truth, Jesus Christ.

Who compiled/composed the so-called scripture?

Kobojunkie:
These ideas aren't actually biblical, but are instead of the doctrines and traditions of their church organization/businesses.

Bowing down to images and idols are condemned in scripture. Also, Jesus Christ never asked anyone to kiss crosses or bow to images in His name. Instead His teachings clearly states that the only way to love Him is through continual submission to and obedience of His teachings and commandments - there is no other way.

If you deny being an iconoclast then I’m afraid you are suffering from delusion of grandeur. How can you know more than the people who gave you your religion as you know it?

Kobojunkie:
I most definitely want to know that's why I asked.

Where in the Bible did God encourage His people to use idols in worshipping Him?

Where in the Bible did Jesus Christ suggest it OK to worship Him via the use of other idols, including men?

Same place in the Bible where the Roman Catholic Church and other churches got the idea from

Kobojunkie:

You wouldn’t want to know.

Kobojunkie:
ROFLMAO


I am not such. The dictionary definition of Idol worship clearer reveals a lot of religious practices we see these days fall under that. Denying this is refusing to face the truth as we have it.

But there are many places in the Bible where god encouraged the use of such.

Kobojunkie:
It isn't symbolism since that refers to an abstract representation of ideas and qualities, while idols are images or representations of gods or beings. And yes, reverence of a cross is also idol worship..

You keep looking for ways to rationalize what is obvious and by definition "idol worship" .. why is this?

Are you by any means an iconoclast?

Kobojunkie:
What logic? His pronouncements are illogical and detached. What you describe there in bold is idol worship aka idolatry.

Catholics who bow down to images are also idol worshippers. Denying the existence of idol worship is akin to rejecting the truth right in front of you..

It’s all symbolism sir. Same way the Protestants reverence the Cross, doesn’t mean they worship it.

MaxInDHouse:
Catholics are not worshiping the God of Abraham because that God abhors the usage of images in His worship! Exodus 20:4

So you people need to know who are those practicing what the book says not just people claiming worshipers of the God of Abraham!

I’m sure sure they’d say the same of you seeing that you deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and the role Mary play in man’s redemption.

Olu317:
Kaarè . So there are no idol worshippers in this world ?How come people created graven image for God of creation or Almighty God ? If you do not know much on this things then, make no such linear statement.

Did you follow his logic at all?

He said ATR adherents aren’t worshiping those images but what they represent. Same way Catholics allegedly don’t worship the numerous idols of Jesus and Mary in their parishes.

Nigerians really need to start taking their mental health seriously.

See delusion abeg

Abohboy:
You do see people doing this outside of Africa even in India, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, China in all of those countries they complain about Christianity and Islam and their destruction of local religions and culture especially in India so your point was just a load of bullshit try again

No mind that one.

MaxInDHouse:
Ask about Ifẹ̀ and Modákẹ́kẹ́ or Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda!

Pacifism is idealistic.

MaxInDHouse:
That's the truth!
No matter what happens a JW will never raise a weapon against his fellowman but that's not the case out there because politicians will use you against your fellowman who never offended you in anyway!
So once a JW travel to America, Australia, Asia, Europe we know that his existence is not attached to any nation on this planet rather he is attached strongly to the one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers globally: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

[s][mIn the hands of a noneJWs you're a dead meat once there is ethnic clashes, so when i say you people don't have trained conscience i know what i'm saying![/s]

Max you are preaching to the choir

It will do you a whole lot of good to travel more and experience other cultures. People aren’t as evil as the media, the JW, the politicians etc are trying to make them out to be. JWs aren’t the only pacifists we have as pacifism predates your organization.

Your last paragraph makes absolutely no sense. It’s a pity if you believe that non JWs are lawless criminals.

MaxInDHouse:
Their conscience are not trained!

There you go!

MaxInDHouse:
My friend we live in Nigeria, only citizens who lives in harmony with the constitution of Nigeria are respected citizens, not so?
So how do you treat a man/woman who is an indigene from Liberia but ever obedient to the laws of Nigeria in our society and someone who is a son of the soil but not ready to live by the constitution?

Well i believe you understood me perfectly you just don't know how to hide your shame!

Like I asked earlier, are you insinuating that non JW members are lawless criminals?

MaxInDHouse:
We only relate better with those who submit to the same line of thought as we do!
That's why Jesus told us to love our neighbours (everyone) as ourselves {Mark 12:29-31} but as for us Jesus said we must love our fellow believers exactly the same way he love us! John 13:34-35
We will treat you just as we love to be treated but as for a JW we must be prepared to die (if the need be) to save our fellow believer!
So it's not that we hate you but we are not under any obligation to relate with you as our family since you don't share our thoughts on issues!

My god, Max! Have you so taken leave of your senses that you can’t see the crass clannishness and discrimination that this your comment embodies or what?

You erroneously claimed without proof that it’s my type that are responsible for all the evil in the world because we are nepotistic and racist. Then I pointed out the extreme discrimination and nepotism in your organization and this is what you can come up with? This is a chronic case of cognitive dissonance.

Do have a good day sir.

WriterNig:
Hmmmm..... I'd play safe and not take her to the alter if i were Ronaldo. He already has everything he needs in life.

Women are very predictable.

That’s why you aren’t Ronaldo.

MaxInDHouse:
You missed it big time!
Discrimination is about taking sides with those who only relate with you, whereas the logical thing to do is taking sides with those doing the right thing!
For instance, a nepotist or racist will always be in support of someone related to him whether such a person is lawless or a criminal but JWs only takes side with people who are ready to live there lives in harmony with the righteous standards of our God.
So even if you're from America, Australia, Asia, Europe or Attica JWs will treat you like a member of our global family. But you're a total stranger to us when you're not ready to abide by the rules of our God.

Logically if everyone is a JW there will be no more wars on this planet because people don't join wars based on righteousness rather they do in support of their race!

According to Oxford Dictionary, Discrimination:
noun
1.
the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, sex, or disability.
"victims of racial discrimination"

Taking sides with a member of your religious group to the detriment of a possibly more qualified person of a non member is discrimination. Or are you insinuating that all non JW members are lawless criminals?

MaxInDHouse:
It's only logical to marry someone who share the same line of thought with you to avoid troubles, don't you think so?

That is religious discrimination and I believe it is morally wrong.

Discrimination is a form of nepotism and racism which according to your logic, is the root of all evil. So in essence, you are agreeing that your group is responsible for all the evil in the world?

Antell95:
Man united will smash liverpool

You wish!

3:1 in favor of Liverpool.

Adetomiwa96:
Mumu me send o and they are asking for more... Now I don wise

How much did you send and how much more are they asking for again?

MaxInDHouse:
Nepotism and Racism is the root cause of injustice in the world today, soif you're a racist or nepotist then you're part and parcel of the world's problem!

You could be right, others may disagree with you and say that unequal distribution of available resources and opportunities is the root cause of injustice.

Your organization that discourages marriage between its members and others, that encourages you to consider your members above others in every areas of your lives is surely part of the problems of this world don’t you think?

MaxInDHouse:
People like you are the real cause of evil on this planet, instead of making your research to know something you just feel like supporting what you don't understand simply because it's what your own people handed over to you.
Well knowledge differ from wisdom!

Oga Max, I’ve had the nitty gritty of your ideology explained to me by a fourth generation Canadian JW
I’ve also been a consumer of your organization’s publications for well over 15 years and I must admit that I’m a huge fan of Awake! Magazines. You must understand that I’m commenting from a position of knowledge having studied majority of the world religions.

I fail to see how you left your supposedly all powerful god, who created and know all things and claim that I’m the cause of evil on earth.
