Religion / Re: How The Jehovah’s Witnesses Are Better Christians Than The Rest Of Us by oteneaaron(m): 4:50am On Aug 22 |
achorladey: Of course I completely understand the parole. When I got married, majority of JWs were shocked that my mum and dad boldly stood by me throughout, even though I say I no do again and I no wan marry JW. And this is only because my parents have UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for me - my parents clearly said to the Elders - "no religion will EVER make us shun our own children." Everyday, I thank God for my parents. But for many others who decide to leave this cult, it is often a very different story - parents are quick to shun their children and would rather love the GB & organization more than their own children. This is because as a JW, you practice a form of CONDITIONAL LOVE - the day you decide to leave the cult, is the day you become dead in their eyes. Thank you for the this truth bomb @Achorladey 3 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: I don't need all these long stories! If you're not an APOSTATE, why can't you share the results of your "personal research" with your fellow JW members? If you're not an APOSTATE, why are you teaching what has not been "approved" by the Governing Body? 3 Likes |

MaxInDHouse: So basically, you're an APOSTATE. Because if you have done your personal research and reached a conclusion that is completely different from what your GODS have "approved", then you're an APOSTATE. For the fact that you can't even discuss your personal research among your fellow JWs is more evidence that you're an APOSTATE. Wonders shall never end. 😁😁 3 Likes |

Vinnie2000: There are many reasons why this is happening - not just in Nigeria but all over the world. Because of social distancing and lock downs of COVID 19, Jehovah's Witnesses were ordered by their GODS to stop going out to preach in 2019/2020 They even stopped going to their kingdom hall for 2 years - they did all of this virtually through Zoom. To put it simply, this made the JWs lazy - imagine finally getting to spend your weekends at home resting after many years of going out to "preach" every weekend. Moreso, in October 2023, one of their GODS (guardians of doctrines) - Samuel Herd, gave another order - Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer needed to record their monthly preaching hours. For 103 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been required to fill out a monthly report that included the number of hours they spent in the “preaching” or “witnessing” activity. Members of the religion were also required to report the number of “placements” of Watchtower literature, including magazines, books, booklets, and other printed material. In recent years, the Organization’s headquarters also required the notation of the number of “views” of videos shown to the public during conversations with non-Witnesses. Before the recording of hours was abolished, as a Jehovah's Witness, if you don't record at least 10 hours every month, you would be considered as "spiritually weak" and because of this, you won't get access to "responsibilities" especially if you're male. Now that recording hours is more required, it has made JWs even more lazy. What's the use of going out to preach if you don't have record your hours and show that you're "spiritually strong" ? This is exactly why they are now dull in their evangelism. I hope this helps to put things in perspective. 5 Likes 1 Share |

FxMasterz: Hahahahaha Don't feel sorry for him bro, you should be happy! Here is why you should be happy - The JWs on this forum like MaxInDHouse, Aemmyjah and Janosky are hiding under the cloak of anonymity to break a clear commandment from their Governing Body regarding "apostates" which states - Watchtower 2004 Feb 15 p.28 "It would be a mistake to think that you need to listen to apostates or to read their writings to refute their arguments. Their twisted, poisonous reasoning can cause spiritual harm and can contaminate your faith like rapidly spreading gangrene. (2 Timothy 2:16, 17) Rather, imitate God's response to apostates. Job said of Jehovah: "Before him no apostate will come in." - Job 13:16." These guys are clearly going against the instruction of their Governing Body and if they ever get exposed in the real world, they will be punished for this because the word of the Governing Body is LAW. That is why you should be happy, rebelling against the clear commandments of the Governing Body is one of the first steps to becoming an "apostate". They are on the right path and should be encouraged for disobeying the Governing Body - that shows that they are actually rebels and as time goes on, they will get bolder to do some research to defend their false teachings and in the course of that research, they continue to defy the Governing Body and eventually become full blown apostates. They are not supposed to be here in the first place. So don't feel sorry for them, instead applaud them for being hold enough to break the rules of the Governing Body - it's the first step on a long journey. 😂😂😂 CC: Achorladey, Emusan, Courz. 4 Likes |

EnemyofGod3: You argument to begin with, is flawed because your sticking to the Biblical concept of "God". I don't see "God" from that myopic point of view. If you had read my "grammar" carefully, you would understand my point of view. The heavens, earth, planets and the entire cosmos are nothing but an IDEA in the infinite mind of God. What happens when you create an Idea let's say an artwork? Are you not part and parcel of your idea? It's a philosophical concept called involution - look it up. |

Botragelad: I agree that my analogy might flawed and filled with assumptions - I am not all knowing and neither are you. If ideas are "just neural constructs" from the brain, kindly answer me this - how are these "neural constructs" created? And, shockingly, human effort and material resources are responsible for turning ideas into reality, not divine intervention. Thank you for admitting that the first stage of every form of creation is AN IDEA. Even you as a human, were first an idea in the minds of your parents before they made love and you were conceived. How dare you attempt to scale up this analogy to the vast expanse of the cosmos! The universe's complexity can be explained by natural processes from evolution, gravity, and quantum mechanics, without even requiring a divine creator. How dare I? How dare you ignore the fact that every visible reality was once first nothing but an IDEA? Yes, the cosmos is complex and awe inspiring and it is this awe inspiring complexity that leads us like children to study the cosmos and wonder where it came from. Even the big bang theory leads us back to a singularity or point in time when the cosmos became "visible" before then, I dare say it was nothing but an IDEA. You speak about quantum mechanics - do you disagree that at the basic form of matter beyond protons and electrons what we have is nothing but pure energy vibrations? What you see as solid in reality is nothing not energy at different rates of vibration and I dare say so are our thoughts or ideas. Please, spare me the philosophical jargon about the principle of correspondence. It's a tool, not empirical evidence for god's existence. You are spared. I never said the principle was an empirical evidence, I only applied it's reasoning from lower to higher concepts. If humans can first create things by first having an IDEA, then there must be a PRIMAL IDEA or as the Greeks called it, the LOGOS. And as for John 1:1, it's just a reinterpretation of ancient Greek philosophy, not scientific proof. I don't dispute this fact. The natural world, including human creativity, can be explained by natural laws and processes. Say something else. Thank you once again for admitting that there are NATURAL LAWS that govern our reality. If I may ask, where do these natural laws come from? 1 Like |

EnemyofGod3: By following the Hermetic Principle of Correspondence - To understand the Infinite, you must first understand the Finite. As a human being, how do you create things? Let's say you want to build a 2 bedroom apartment, what are the steps to take? 1. At first the house is nothing but an IDEA in your mind - it is not visible - in religious terminologies, you could say the house is only existing in the spiritual realm. 2. You give a brief to an architect who then makes a detailed drawing of the 2 bedroom apartment - at this stage the house/your idea is still not visible - it only exists on paper. 3. After the drawing is approved, you move to site and after the surveyor maps out the area, you buy cement, building blocks, sand, gravel and you pay for the mansory, etc. 4. When all of these is completed, that IDEA which was at first incoporeal, invisible and spiritual has now become a reality, visible and physical. If that is how finite beings like us create, how much more our father who is infinite? The entire cosmos with its billions of planets, black holes, galaxies and suns is nothing but an IDEA in the infinite mind of God which has manifested as a reality in our 3 dimensional plane of existence. First the idea, then the manifestation. The Bible explains this at John 1 VS 1 "In the beginning was the LOGOS, and the LOGOS was with God and the LOGOS was God." In English, we misinterpret the LOGOS and simply call it the WORD. In ancient Greek, the LOGOS meant the PRIMAL IDEA or the IDEA OF IDEAS. I know it's quite philosophical but I hope this answers your question. 1 Like |

FxMasterz: He has to LIE because that is his natural way of speaking. Moreso, when you get baptized as a Jehovah's Witness, you are basically swearing an oath to the organization. Here are the questions you are asked during a JW baptism (you have to answer YES) - (1) “Have you repented of your sins, dedicated yourself to Jehovah, and accepted his way of salvation through Jesus Christ?” (2) “Do you understand that your baptism identifies you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with Jehovah’s organization?” Whereas this is in complete contrast to the simple yet powerful process of baptism found at Mathew 28 VS 19 - "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" 4 Likes |

achorladey: Very true. Jehovah's Witnesses are PATHOLOGICAL LIARS. The doctrine of 1914 was initially an "end of the world" prophecy by Charles Taze Russell. It was after the prophecy failed that they made a quick switch to begin calling it "the start of the last days". Here are some evidences from their own publications to prove this - "But bear in mind that the end of 1914 is not the date for the beginning, but for the end of the time of trouble. Zion's Watch Tower 1894 Jul 15 p.226 "In view of this strong Bible evidence concerning the Times of the Gentiles, we consider it an established truth that the final end of the kingdoms of this world, and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be accomplished by the end of A.D. 1914." Studies in the Scriptures - The Time is at Hand (1889) 1911 ed. p.99 "… the battle of the great day of God Almighty … The date of the close of that "battle" is definitely marked in Scripture as October, 1914. [/b]It is already in progress, its beginning dating from October, 1874. ... [b]The Scriptures show also that the battle of the great day will begin with the church of God, and that the overthrow of the great nominal church systems will precede the overthrow of the present civil powers; for the Lord is about to shake, not only the earth (the civil organisation for society), but heaven (the ecclesiastical powers) also (Heb. 12:26), to the end that great "Babylon," falsely called Christendom -Christ's kingdom- may be completely destroyed. " Zion's Watch Tower 1892 Jan 15 pp.21-23 It is no surprise that MaxInDHouse and his cohorts are known for shamelessly spreading LIES - it is a trait they all share from the Governing Body down to the rank and file JW. Back then when I was a member of this religion and decided to do my research into the history of the religion, was when I learnt about many of their FAILED PROPHECIES. Deuteronomy 18 VS 21 & 22 was what gave me the boldness to stand strong and reject this religion, their Governing Body and their endless LIES - "And if you say in your heart, `How may we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him." - RSV There is no need to be afraid of the Governing Body nor to be afraid of been shunned for rejecting their false prophecies and endless LIES.

MaxInDHouse: How did you silence him? You have started boasting again. An empty barrel makes the loudest noise. Do you think everyone eats and sleeps on Nairaland like you do? Knowing many like him who aren't with God's organization with all their hearts {Mark 12:29-30} in the family he thought he has seen it all. So if he is only a "dwarf spiritually", how on earth did he become an Elder? I thought the holy spirit selects people to become Elders - do you know more than the "holy spirit"? Or are you trying to say that the "holy spirit" made a mistake? Let him respond to the truth and prove that it's all about attending meetings that makes people part of JEHOVAH'S sheep. He never made any comment like this. Stop making up things in your head. Jesus sent his disciples to go in search for the lost sheep of the house of Israel {Matthew 10:6} and how do we recognize this ones? I wonder why you only quoted Mathew 10:6. Why didn't you quote verse 8 that said: "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay." - is your religious organization doing any of this today? But I digress. To clarify for the public, when Max says "God's Organization" he is actually speaking about the Man-made Business Cooperation called the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. "God's Organization" = Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Now can you show me the specific verse in the bible where Jesus asked his disciples to search for people to join an "organization" aka Watchtower? Once they discover that God is real through the activities of His imperfect worshipers such ones begin to feel sober for all their past deeds and once they learn that God knows they did all those things due to frustration and He is willing to accept them they will become the meekest ever to OBEY God's representatives. Where did God ask you to OBEY human representatives? Acts 5:29 - "But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men." Psalm 146:3 - "Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save" Should we OBEY God? OR Should we OBEY the Governing Body of the Watchtower Organization who cannot save? So when you look at their outward appearance they're useless to God but Jehovah reads hearts He knows they will serve as precious gems in His organization. So if God read hearts, who are you call wumiwumi100 a "spiritual dwarf"? Are you God who can read hearts? But as many as those born and raised in God's organization who doesn't feel the emptiness that there's no other place to go if they should leave God's organization {John 6:68-69} of course such ones are useless to our God! Hebrews 10:38 John 6:68-69 - Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” Are you now saying that the Watchtower Organization is equal to Jesus Christ? The words of Peter in the verse above were crystal clear - he was not speaking about an "organization" aka Watchtower. 3 Likes |
