MaxInDHouse:Why are you asking a question to which you already know the answer? JESUS the Christ of Nazareth never existed in actual history - you can go thru the previous thread where we had the debate to see the reasons why I say that. He story is a MYTH and an ALLEGORY that describes the part to ascension that every human soul must eventually go thru. And just like the MYTHS of many other similar "Christos" from antiquity that came before him, the ALLEGORY about the ancension of man is a common theme. Why don't you answer the first question Courz asked you? Question #1 for MaxInDHouse from Courz - - Why did your founder say he is more inspired than Jesus and that he should be followed and not Jesus? |
Courz:Lol MaxInDHouse is such a coward right? |
MaxInDHouse:Lol Why are you beating around the bush? So now it's those who believe in Jesus that should ask "their" questions? Which other question(s) are you talking about? Courz has already laid the questions bare, but you asked for it ONE BY ONE 1. Why did your founder say he is more inspired than Jesus and that he should be followed and not Jesus?Stop beating around the bush and start with question #1 |
MaxInDHouse:Lol Sorry sah. Question number #1 for MaxInDHouse - - Why did your founder say he is more inspired than Jesus and that he should be followed and not Jesus? |
Courz:Lol MaxInDHouse is just looking for excuses to avoid answering the questions. Shey he wants it one by one? I have given him question number one. Let's wait, see his reply and continue with the next question on the list. |
MaxInDHouse:Instead of answering the questions he asked, you have started running around in circles. But no problem, there is no need for any further back and forth. I will help @Courz out. Question #1 for MaxInDHouse - - Why did your founder say he is more inspired than Jesus and that he should be followed and not Jesus? |
MaxInDHouse:Fear Fear. Why don't you pick each question and answer it ONE BY ONE? Stop disguising. |
Courz:Lol MaxInDHouse is an indoctrinated AI program indeed. He has refused to answer the questions you raised. |
All they care about is the their goal and because of this, they bury their humanity and become animals. Religion is the biggest tool used by the elite to control the masses. It is so unfortunate. RIP Deborah. Nigeria has failed you. |
MaxInDHouse:Lol. You and who are doing an intelligence contest? Your "intelligence" is a result of your warped delusions of grandeur. I really feel sorry for you. |
MaxInDHouse:Kettle calling pot black! You are very guilty of these same charges. So does this mean you are also "not mature" ? |
Religion is the biggest problem in the world. |
MaxInDHouse:LIAR. |
MaxInDHouse:Show us where it was stated in the Qu'ran. Or can't you? We're you caught lying? |
MaxInDHouse:It doesn't matter what I believe in. You made a statement and I am asking for proof. Show us where it was written. Simple. |
PeaceJoyLove:Lol You are really prepared for MaxInDHouse That is why I call him a HYPOCRITE. He says one thing but does the opposite. |
MaxInDHouse:But you said you "remember" Why don't you show us where it was stated? Or were you just caught lying? |
That is why they thrive on INDOCTRINATION. The more you repeat a lie, the more it looks like the truth. |
Creamypie:. Exactly my point!. So why has Jehovah's organization in Norway been collecting free money from Satan's World for over 30 years? And even now that the funding has been blocked, why are they appealing the block? What does Jehovah's organization need with free money from Satan's World to the extent of sending an appeal to their decision? |
Creamypie:Should Jehovah's organization be collecting any money from Satan's World? |
MaxInDHouse:But that doesn't answer the question you were asked. You said in front of Pilate, Jesus was IRELEVANT. But how can a person who is IRELEVANT be celebrated all around the city when riding on a donkey? Or are you saying Pilate et al didn't hear of that event of him riding into the city? Why was he even killed in the first place? Was it not because of his growing popularity? That is why you should stop taking these stories as literal history. They are just too many plot holes and contradictions. You must learn to see EVERYTHING in the Bible as an allegory and not actual history. |
I OurTruth:That makes sense. FIRE ON. |
FatherOfJesus:You got that right. They are both fanatics and hypocrites at the same freaking time. |
But fortunately, the Norwegian Government rejected their appeal and the order for their funding to be stopped was upheld. See images below showing pages showing the rejection of the appeal from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Zoom in to view. Let me know if you need the link to download it for yourself. Cheers!

For an organization that says it is the "only true religion", I expected that this announcement by the Norwegian Government would not disturb the JWs Because after all, what is $2m free annual money mean when this is "Satan's World"? God's Organization does not need any of Satan's free money. Or so I thought. The Jehovah’s Witnesses wrote an email appealing this decision by Norway. Fabian Fond at the branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Scandinavia, writes in an e-mail to NRK that they are disappointed: “The decision will be appealed. The appeal process will give us an opportunity to clearly explain why our faith and religious practices fully respect the rights and freedoms of others.” Fond further writes that no one is forced or pressured to become, or continue to be, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses: “It is worth noting that trials in several lands have confirmed the right of Jehovah’s Witnesses to exclude persons who choose not to live by the moral standards of the Bible. As a registered religious community in Norway, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been eligible to receive government grants for more than 30 years. “ Oh so Jehovah's Witnesses have been collecting Satan's free money for over 30 years! Interesting. Proof - https://www.nrk.no/norge/jehovas-vitner-nektes-statsstotte-for-2021-1.15830483 https://onlysky.media/hemant-mehta/norway-will-no-longer-fund-the-jehovahs-witnesses/ https://avoidjw.org/featured/jehovahs-witnesses-loses-appeal-in-norway/ |
The concerns about the JWs - part two 2. A similar policy applies to children. If a child in a JW family “makes it a habit to break the moral standards of the Bible and does not repent,” the Witnesses teach, they are also to be treated as pariahs. That means a young teenager (baptized or not) who quits the religion is subject to exclusion from religious members. While their immediate families don’t have to kick them out of the house, the state administrator said the Witnesses believe that child can no longer “have contact with other close family (including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins) or friends.” That puts pressure on the child to remain in the fold — a violation of their own rights under the law. (“We consider social isolation as a form of punishment against the child.”) Because of those two “systematic and intentional” offenses, neither of which can be denied by the Witnesses themselves, the state administrator concluded that the Witnesses are not deserving of the subsidies. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are still allowed to practice their faith, of course. They just won’t get any taxpayer money for it. So basically, Jehovah's Witnesses in Norway have lost nearly $2 million of annual free money. |
The concerns about the JWs - part one In a written statement from the state administrator in Oslo and Viken, there are two Jehovah’s Witness beliefs that are particularly egregious as far as the law goes: 1. The Witnesses engage in the practice of Disfellowshipping: That means former JWs who leave the religion are effectively excommunicated. Members are told not to have any interactions with them. The idea here is that the former members will get so lonely or depressed that they’ll eventually come crawling back. There’s no shortage of families that have been torn apart because of this. The state administrator wrote that Norwegian law requires all religions that receive government subsidies to practice a “right to free withdrawal.” If there’s a serious obstacle to leaving a religion, that’s arguably a violation of the law. Disfellowshipping, the administrator wrote, “can cause members to feel pressured to remain in the faith community.” |
Last year, the government said it would begin looking into the Witnesses after two former members and a separate (anonymous) whistleblower sent letters explaining that the Witnesses were in violation of the rules. It’s not that the JW beliefs were secrets or anything. It’s more likely that government officials needed to act deliberately and get their paperwork in order before they could take any kind of action. Those letters got the ball rolling. Some of those claims were debatable. For example, the Witnesses say members can’t get involved in politics, and that means JWs never vote in elections. One former member argued that since voting in an election could lead to expulsion by the Witnesses — which means members couldn’t interact with you — that qualified as a violation of the rules. The Witnesses responded by saying they had every right to set their own policies, and if someone wanted to vote, they were freely deciding to leave the fold. There was nothing coercive about it. But there were other concerns that the government took very seriously... |
The Norwegian government said it would no longer provide funding to the Jehovah’s Witnesses because of the religious sect’s cult-like practices. Backed by the law, Norway pays an annual grant to every religious group in the country depending on the number of members in their fold. According to the Norwegian government’s Ministry of Children and Family Affairs, in 2021, there were 12,686 registered Jehovah’s Witnesses in the country. That number meant taxpayers were on the hook to give the Witnesses more than NOK 16 million (roughly $1,778,793 in U.S. dollars) in support. That is about $140 per member. So why would the Norwegian Government all of a sudden stop funding Jehovah's Witnesses? Well, the Norwegian religious community act states that - If a religious or philosophical community, or individuals acting on behalf of the community, commits violence or coercion, makes threats, violates children’s rights, violates statutory discrimination prohibitions or in other ways seriously violates the rights and freedoms of others, society may be denied grants or grants may be suspended. Grants may also be refused or reduced if society encourages or provides support for violations mentioned in this section. Religious or philosophical communities that accept grants from states that do not respect the right to freedom of religion or belief may be denied grants. So the question now is this - If Norway has stopped paying an annual grant of almost $2m to Jehovah's Witnesses, does this mean that they (JWs) have broken the law? Let's dig deeper to understand what really happened.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a5yE2PzVVk |
OurTruth:I was thinking you were going to conclude with this thread before creating a new one. |
OurTruth2:Here you go bro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L97j9-rL1GQ |
Ibomrep:But where is the lie? Are his words not true? Why sending people to your website? Why don't you answer the inquiries he asked above? Or are recording your time on Nairaland as hours to report every month on your "field service report sheet"? |
