That is rubbish!

What we have is Law. Do this, get this. And among this we have God doing whatever pleaseth Him

No need to scream.

I only asked you to prove me wrong, it is that simple.

What is the difference between the law of attraction and the teaching of - "Whatsoever ye desire, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.." as found in the Bible?

Lol

You were not informed?

Everyday, the hypocrisy of your organization gets more exposed.

Your organization was receiving two forms of funding from the Norwegian Government.

One from the religious community aid and another from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

Such bold faced blatant hypocrites!

The "only true religion" is accepting free money from a Gambling Authority!

Why is the "only true religion" so engrossed in receiving free money from "Satan's World"?

What a show of SHAME!

Janosky:
Idol Worshipper forming Atheist wan judge Jehovah's servants?

TUEH !!!!!.

Lol.

Call me whatever you want to - I know that is the best you can do.

Name-calling is your Forte, so I am not bothered.

The greatest enemies of Jehovah's Witnesses, are their own previous publications.

Kobojunkie:
And as such all religious groups, even those that believe the source of the funds is of sin to them, are essentially mandated to receive said funds.

Jesus Christ never said gambling was a sin, to begin with,— neither did God— so why are you attempting to throw him under with your lot?

He is not even ashamed.

They say that the whole world in the control of "Satan the devil" and this control must also include financial resources too.

They call other religions part of " babylon the great"

They say they are the ONLY TRUE RELIGION.

So why are they so engrossed in receiving free money from the same world controlled by Satan?

Why would the ONLY TRUE RELIGION even receive any form of funding from a Gambling Authority in the first place?

This is how they demonized the United Nations calling it the "Scarlet Colored Wild Beast" as found in the book of revelation.

Only for us to find out that for 10 solid years, they were full time members of the United Nations as an "NGO"

It is only when they were called out that they later renounced their membership of the United Nations.

Evidence: this screenshot posted by Oteneaaron alias Courz.

SHAME ON YOU !!

Lol.

The biggest SHAME is on you.

So you were not informed that they are two forms of funding your organizations was receiving from the Norwegian Government?

1. There is a standard grant every religious organization receives from the government - powered by the religious community act.

Of which funding your organization was cut off from in 2021, because of your wicked shunning policies that violate fundamental human rights.

2. Another grant comes specifically from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

In 2022, your organization received over 4M Norwegian Krones from the Gambling Authority.

How can the only true religion be so engrossed in receiving money from "Satan's World"?

What sort of blatant hypocrisy is this?

You say Gambling is a sin and a sign of greed, but your organization is receiving free money from a Gambling Authority!

Wonders shall never end.

Otunbakayce:
Jehovah witnesses are the definition of the word "hypocrisy". There is nothing you want to tell me or the whole world. My friends are JW, my gf is a JW though not baptised, my staff who stole blindly is a JW, my neighbour who defrauded people in the estate and even his fellow JW is a jw. What else do you want to say that I don't know? You guys are trained to lie.
Keep living in your foolish paradise and fvck off please.

You are very correct.

Jehovah's Witnesses are chronic hypocrites.

One of their members created a thread where he mentioned that according to their own doctrines - Gambling is a sin and a sign of greed.

Only for us to find out that their organization is receiving a yearly grant of over 3M US dollars from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

Imagine such blatant hypocrisy.

You say gambling is a sin but you're still collecting millions of dollars every year from a Gambling Authority.

I am afraid you are terribly in error!

What is the law of attraction?

The law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person's life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.

It is based on the belief that thoughts are a form of energy and that positive energy attracts success in all areas of life, including health, finances, and relationships.

At the core of this philosophy is positivity.

Positive thinking is linked to better physical health, longer life, and even a lower risk of heart disease.

Research shows that developing a growth mindset has mental health benefits, too. It’s a powerful tool that can reduce anxiety and depression while helping manage stress.

Where Can We Find The Law of Attraction in Christianity?

“And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.” – Matthew 21:22

“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” – Mark 11:24

“If thou can believe, all things are possible, to him that believeth.” – Mark 9.23

Prove Me Wrong.

HellVictorinho7:
no god,bro.

Lol.

"There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the inter spaces of the universe.

A thought in this "substance" produces the thing that is imagined by the thought.

Man can form things in his thought and by impressing his thought upon the formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created."

- WDW

sonmvayina:
I think our local traditional creation myth will be a good way to start.....

We should bear in mind that God and all the Orishas are all within us....

I think it is also important to define terms...

I will only proceed if I am carrying people along..

Hey bro.

Speaking of the Orishas, do you know that when you study the Marvel Cinematic Folklore, it tells you that the god Bast in Wakanda is one of the Orishas.

We must study ancient history and learn about the wisdom of our ancestors or else we are bound to repeat their mistakes.

Know thy self! - this is the simple message.

Courz:
Good question. He won't answer you o. All he knows is what Watchtower dumped into his head. Like a Zombie. Also, when MMM was on, there were JWs I know personally who were into it. Nobody practises Hypocrisy like JWs and Watchtower.

The silence from the OP @Jokanem is loud.

You say gambling is a sin and yet your religious organization is accepting a yearly grant in millions of dollars from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

Please make it make sense.

Is this is not blatant hipocrisy?

Do as I say but not as I do?

Aemmyjah:
Gambling is a form of greed and it stirs up the desire for greed - winning other people's money and many have sought spirististic powers to win. It develops the insatiable desires for materialism and it has destroyed many relationships and plunged many into huge debts and addiction

The Bible warns against greed. It says that greedy people will not inherit God's kingdom. Jesus himself warned his followers to guard against every form of greed. And gambling is one form

That's why I tell my friends that, if you are confused about a matter, ask yourself, what would Jesus have said or done about the matter

The OP dropped the truth and people in the forum are tormented

Since Gambling is such an evil habit and a form of greed, why is your organization receiving a yearly grant from the Norwegian Gambling Authority?

Is that not a double standard?

Last year alone, your organization was paid almost 4M US dollars from a Gambling Authority!

Does that not make you a hypocrite?

oteneaaron:
Hi OP,

Great thread.

I have a couple of questions -

Since gambling is a sin, why is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses accepting grants from the Norwegian Gambling Authority?

Just last year, you guys received over 4 million Norwegian Krones which is approximately over 3 million US dollars from their Gambling Authority.

See image proof below -

@Jokanem

I am still waiting for a reply to my question.

Cheers!

On March 9, 2023, a shooter attacked the Hamburg-Winterhude Kingdom Hall after the midweek meeting had concluded. Sadly, four brothers, two sisters, and a sister’s unborn child were killed in this shooting. Several other brothers and sisters were injured.

We are saddened but not shocked. The signs of the end is here. Its hitting closer.

This is quite unfortunate.

No one deserves to die in such a horrible way.

My sincere condolences to the families who lost someone over this gruesome act.

baralatie:
How many jw do you think are in Lagos alone?

Go to their website and check.

Total JWs world wide is not less than 8M members.

So how can 5M be in Nigeria alone?

Reason am

obembet:
Currently we have over 5M Jehovah witness members across the nation. Jehovah witness are very good and enlightening people, well trained and well educated.

I always love to read Jehovah witness Awake books which always shows us how to cope with today’s problems and builds confidence in the Creator’s promise of a peaceful and secure new world.

But with all thier enlightenment with the technology, science, word of God, I have never see them engage in politics or discuss with you how to move a nation forward.

So despite all people are going through in this nation, I have never hear or see any Jehovah witness condemn or commend... They don't border about voting or participate in politics.

Why dear JW in the house, can you please show us Maybe you guys are see what others don't see?

You are wrong.

There are not upto 5M Jehovah's Witnesses Nigeria.

They should be slightly above 300k.

They don't believe in the present system of government and therefore do not sing the national anthem nor vote in an election.

It is quite an irony when you realize that even though they don't vote, they still enjoy or suffer from the policies implemented by the government.

Even Jehovah's Witnesses have seen shege during this Buhari's government.

The suffer touch everybody.

Jokanem:
Is Gambling a Sin?

Although the Bible does not discuss gambling in detail, we can discern from Bible principles that God views gambling as a sin.​—Ephesians 5:​17. a

Gambling is driven by greed, which God hates. (1 Corinthians 6:​9, 10; Ephesians 5:​3, 5)

Gamblers hope to gain money through the losses of others, but the Bible condemns coveting other people’s possessions.​—Exodus 20:17; Romans 7:7; 13:​9, 10.

Gambling, even for small amounts, can arouse a destructive love of money.​—1 Timothy 6:​9, 10.

Gamblers often rely on superstitions or luck. However, God views such beliefs as a form of idolatry, which is incompatible with his worship.​—Isaiah 65:11.

Rather than promote a desire to get something for nothing, the Bible encourages hard work. (Ecclesiastes 2:​24; Ephesians 4:​28) Those who follow the Bible’s advice can “eat food they themselves earn.”​—2 Thessalonians 3:​10, 12.

Gambling can arouse an unhealthy competitive spirit, which is disapproved in the Bible.​—Galatians 5:​26.

Hi OP,

I have a couple of questions -

Since gambling is a sin, why is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses accepting grants from the Norwegian Gambling Authority?

Dtruthspeaker:
And it is still the same old religion which God wiped out many communities which practiced them.

So imagine, you are asking people to go back to the thing which destroyed them the first time, you be devil be dat.

That is why I just can't wait for God to land now now and let all you devils be wiped out to your eternal punishment and destruction.

When you say "God", try to be specific as to which deity you speak about.

Sadly, you only speak out of ignorance.

If only you studied ancient history, you wouldn't speak in such manner.

LikeAking:
Traditional Religion is the way.. There is no need to write long espitles to convence anyone.

NL members with traditional knowledge, please take the stage, feel free to enlighten us.

Well, Christians and Muslims practice an imported religion.

Funny enough, these imported religions are only cheap copies of the Ancient African "Religion", also known as the Old Religion.

A simple investigation into the ancient origins of religion, civilization and science, will lead you back to Africa.

According to history, the main message from "Old Religion" was simply - The Knowledge of Self.

Know Thy Self.

It was this knowledge of self that made our ancient ancestors build such megalithic structures like the Walls of Benin, The Pyramid of Giza, The Sphinx, etc.

The first multi-genius ever recorded in history was the African man known as IMHOTEP - after he died, he was deified.

He was first surgeon and is the true father of medicine and not Hippocrates.

I can go on and on and on.

We must go back to our roots and learn about our true origins or else, we will keep repeating the mistakes of our ancestors.

Watch the video below and open your mind.

Sukersoc:
Wow... lovely!!!

You'll most likely know me because I rose through the ranks and was fairly well known by many in Abuja.

Wow.

You must have been a spirikoko. 😁😁

Truly, I might recognize you when we eventually meet.

Feel free to dm me.

I will keep this in mind.

I faded, so those who know just think I'm inactive and that's fine by me.
How about you; did you fade or disassociate? And how spiriholy were you before your exit?

Lol.

Same here too cos that's the easiest way out.

I wasn't much of a spirikoko, altho since my days in the Uni, I was on the path to become an MS, but it got too competitive for my liking.

As a bookworm, I was consistently consuming all of their publications especially the older ones and that was what led to my waking up.

From researching the history of the organization, I went down the rabbit hole to researching the history of religion itself.

Sukersoc:
Proudly pomo too.

Are you engaged in exjw activism?

Been so for 3 years now.

Your profile says you abuja based; I am too.

I won't call it "activism" per se, but I regularly call out their BS here on Nairaland and Facebook.

I've been out for roughly 3 years now too.

Good to know you're in Abj, hopefully we'll get to meet up in the nearest future.

It's nice to meet you man.

Sukersoc:
Thanks Bro for the expose.

If you don't mind my asking are you pimo or pomo? And by the way congratulations; e no easy to wake up

Proud POMO here.

Lol.

E no easy true true.

What about you?

Sukersoc:
Why is Governing Body member Anthony Morris being removed? What did he commit; we'll like to know please?

There is a lot of speculation as to the reasons for his removal.

These include allegations of alcohol abuse, especially as he had been video-taped ordering a trolley load of alcohol one Sunday morning when congregation meetings would have been in progress - see video below for evidence.

Some believe that he may be implicated in the Pennsylvania Grand Jury investigation into child sexual abuse within Jehovah’s Witnesses.

It’s possible that the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization deleted Morris in an attempt to distance themselves from any implication in this investigation.

Another claim is that he publicly disagreed with another member of the Governing Body in ecclesiastical matters relating to prophecy.

Whether any of these allegations are true remain to be seen.

Really?

I kid you not.

It was announced on Wednesday.

The news has been trending since then on Reddit and YouTube.

AntiChristian:
My belief is that he'll lose!

Good for you bro.

achorladey:
You know who you are

Now it is Barnabas and Paul had heated arguments . Is that a criteria to show that those you call first century Christians are not ORGANIZED?




At least we know the power to appoint new governing body members especially the two newly recruited and added ones within your religious organization rest squarely in the hands of humans like you and I

Lol

Did you hear that Anthony Morris III has been removed as a Governing Body member?

Funny enough, this means he's no longer one of the faithless and undiscreet slave.

At least he can now drink all the whisky he wants without hiding.

See the video below where he was caught on camera on a Sunday morning shopping for some nice whisky.

So what if Obi loses?

What if Obi wins?

You cannot succeed in any endeavor with a negative mindset.

That is the only way they know - Vote Buying

This is what they call their "structure" which in reality, is a structure of criminality.

A new Nigeria is truly POssible.

Go out tomorrow and vote your conscience.

No matter how much you are paid, it will not last you for the next 8 years.

Don't sell you future.

Don't sell your vote.

Vote Labour Party.

Vote for Mama, Papa and Pikin.

Vote for Peter Obi.

sonmvayina:
Lol..so you want to run away instead of learning...

You will never grow..

It is his modus operandi, good thing you're not suprised.

MaxInDHouse:
Your dictionary definition tried but in the absence of cooperation to work towards the same goal then your faith is DEAD.

I still repeat incase you didn't hear me - I don't need to be a member of any group or religious CULT like yours to have "faith"

Perhaps you don't know why you're always arguing here well it's because you want others to agree with you!

Another falsehood spotted.

How I am always always arguing on NL?

Anyone can check all your post on Nairaland and compare it to mine, and they will see clearly that you live and breathe to argue on Nairaland.

Everybody knows your modus operandi -

- beat around the bush,

- insult and call people names, and

- run away when you have no response.

I don't need anybody on Nairaland to agree with me on anything.

I only share information that requires people who think critically to make their own decisions.

Can you say the same thing about yourself?

MaxInDHouse:
FAITH is the assured expectations of what is hoped for the evident demonstration of realities though not seen. Hebrews 11:1

So if you can't work together with any group of people to prove your faith then you are faithless or let's put it the way God's word puts it: your faith is DEAD! James 2:18-26

Today we hear of many people working to achieve something but if no one supports another then how will their efforts yield positive results?

So prove your faith by presenting the group of people having the same faith as you do so that everyone can examine what you have through the results of your group action.

In the absence of that ọmọ you're faithless!

You keep looking for group action.

Let me school you a little bit.

I have told you countless times that faith is relative.

I don't need to be a member of any group or religious CULT like yours to have "faith".

Even the dictionary has 3 different definitions of the word "faith"

Noun

faith

1. A trust or confidence in the intentions or abilities of a person, object, or ideal from prior empirical evidence.

2. The process of forming or understanding abstractions, ideas, or beliefs, without empirical evidence, experience, or observation.

3. A religious or spiritual belief system.

As you also clearly defined above, "faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for.."

I still repeat, "faith" is relative and I don't need to be a member of any group or religious CULT like yours to have "faith".

You can take that information to the bank and deposit it.

You're welcome.
