Lol no type on comment that I won't read on nairaland

My Account Manager also said the same thing to me today. Thank God she wasn't sacked as well... I feel for those who lost their jobs though

JohnQueen:
I love you cos you've written what I've been feeling and saying to peeps for years now.

If only they will listen and come to an accurate knowledge of the truth

Macelliot:
Nice and intelligent response..
Are you a Jw?

Am a Catholic.. Even though, Jw criticises my denomination alot, but I just like them alot for a reason best known to me..

My Brother sometimes one has to think beyond and a Catholic or am a jw. The Bible is there for all to read. Make research on your own, find the basis for your belief. If you're told this thing is white in church, ask why is it white in color. Don't just gulp down everything you're told. And then believe me you'll find your way to the truth

Modified : back to your question yes am one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

[b] Hellfire—Is It Part of Divine Justice?
Have you ever seen someone tortured? We hope not. Deliberate torture is sickening and abhorrent. What, though, of torture inflicted by God? Can you imagine such a thing? Yet, this is exactly what is implied by the teaching of hellfire, an official doctrine in many religions.

Imagine, for a moment, the following horrific scene: A person is being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens. The torture goes on and on, hour after hour, day after day—without pause!

Whatever crime the victim may have committed, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person? In no way! Love is merciful and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would never torture them!

Nevertheless, many religions teach that God tortures sinners in an eternal hellfire. This, it is claimed, is divine justice. If that is true, who created that terrible place of eternal torment? And who is responsible for the excruciating agonies inflicted there? The answers would seem obvious. If such a place really exists, then God would have to be the creator of it, and he would be responsible for what happens there.

Can you accept that? The Bible* says: “God is love.” (1 John 4 vs eight ) Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans with any measure of decency find revolting? Surely not!

An Unreasonable Teaching
Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented forever. Is this teaching logical? The human life span is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if someone perpetrated extreme wickedness for his whole lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment? No. It would be grossly unjust to torment a man forever for the limited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.

Who knows the truth about what happens after we die? Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so in his written Word, the Bible, referred to above. Here is what the Bible says: “As the [beast] dies, so the [man] dies; and they all have but one spirit . . . All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust.” (Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20) There is no mention here of a fiery hell. Humans return to dust—to nonexistence—when they die.

In order to be tormented, an individual has to be conscious. Are the dead conscious? No. “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) It is impossible for the dead, “conscious of nothing at all,” to experience the agonies of hellfire.

A Harmful Doctrine
Some maintain that the teaching of hellfire is useful, true or not. Why? They say it serves as a deterrent to wrongdoing. Is that true? Well, is the crime rate in regions where people believe in hellfire lower than in other places? Hardly! In fact, the doctrine of hellfire is very harmful. Will a person who believes that God torments people view torture as something abhorrent? Why should he? Those believing in a cruel god often become cruel like their god.

In whatever way a reasonable person may look at the matter, he cannot accept the existence of a hell of torment. Logic rebels against it. Human nature is repelled by it. More important, God’s Word does not say that such a place exists. When a person dies, “he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”—Psalm 146:4.

Life, like a mist, appears for just a day,
Then disappears tomorrow.
All that we are can quickly fade away,
Replaced with tears and sorrow.
If a man should die, can he live again?
Hear the promise God has made:
(CHORUS)
He will call; The dead will answer.
They shall live at his command.
For he will have a longing
For the work of his own hand.
So have faith, and do not wonder,
For our God can make us stand.
And we shall live forever,
As the work of his own hand.

nairalandist:
Lol... dat ur comment na another level o. . . I laughed hard where u wrote 'not like someone preparing for a fight'. Reminds me of those traditional Igbo wrestlers in Nollywood movies who first shake their chest muscles and use all their energy to dance before going to fight their enemies in Abakaliki.

My bro the chest alone scares me

Iyanya looks like one heavy weight wrestler.. Na na

Peter Okoye quite Okay cos of his height but for me Flavour takes the lead not because of his skin color but his physique, it's moderate. He looks just cool and fit, not like someone preparing for a fight

proud Dad, baby ain't smiling at all

No pain, no gain


Bottom line : BE INNOVATIVE

Seems Tiwa baby is another North West in the making. Well all I know is that they'll get tired someday and show the world thier baby picture just as Kim and Kanye.

Kim= Tiwa

Kanye = Tee Billz

DeGenius3:
you are very much on point.

That's just the simple but core
principle of turning dreams to
reality.

If only most of our youths will understand that there is no gain without pain,then it would have been much better

Dream big and work towards that dream and you shall see it come to pass

I'll be back

As seen in Oregun Ikeja today

You misplaced N50, someone picked the same money to buy something worth N10 in your shop and you balance him/her N40...... How much have you lost?

Thank God. War is bad. One day, they'll be a thing of the past (Pslams 46:9). Pray for God's kingdom to come. Its our salvation (Matthew 6:9-10)

When I read some comments on Nairaland, I need no one to tell that you are a fellow Jwites

Now to the award, he dedicated it to his new born daughter saying daddy is bringing home a toy. Walahi if I were to be one of the organizers I would have just collected my thing back
