give it time sis... Just give it time, there are millions that came before you and they ALL reached that point where reality hit them but it was too late ...

Give it time. To be honest with you I enjoy the fruits of feminism, becasue It makes my options wider and I can just get into the box without all the commitment that is required from a man, she would think she is strong, independent but it's an avatar, like a clown needs an audience, the same way feminist needs simps ... And if you know how to play simp ... You will just be hopping from feminist bed to feminist bed 🛏️🛏️🛏️🛏️ haha 😂😂.

I think you misunderstand what feminist is. I'm sure if you did you'd probably consider yourself a feminist.

RomanceHow To Live A Better Life * by PoliteActivist(op):
*Politeness*
Drop advice or quotations you think will help people live a better life, or that have helped you in life.

Here are mine:
1) Make a to-do list. Ideally, make it the night before so your subconscious can work on it while you sleep.

2) Guard your attention jealously. Treat it like money. Be conscious of what you give your attention to. There are sooo many distractions in this internet age, FOCUS has become real super power. Those who can tune out all the noise and focus, win!

3) Spend the few minutes after you wake up (and to less extent before you fall asleep) being grateful, hyping yourself, and telling yourself what a wonderful day you'll have. This can set the mood for the day.

4) The first 30 Minutes or so after waking up, your brain cells are more active and vibrant and devoid of worries. Try to do your most difficult or unpleasant tasks durring this time (eg. a difficult phone call or email). Don't spend this time checking phone or playing social media.

5) Decide to do things you find painful or unpleasant through most of the day, minimally doing escapist stuff like social media.

6) Decide to NOT be after perfection. Things of high value usually cannot be done perfectly or even very well at all (at least not at first). As you do them you get better at them. You'd never do them if you wait till you can do them perfectly.

*What are your thoughts on these. Agree? disagree?
Why?

People condemning police forgot that police officers are human being as well grew up in the Nigerian society. Some people comments on nairaland and this policemen actions are same in different ways. Action and reaction are equal and opposite. Trust me if d guy has no issues, he will not be making noise to create sympathy. Ok I ask, why didn't the police go to another person house, but choose to go meet the guy in the studio because they know who they are looking for.

Says God's word so if you can't explain what type of WORKS James was talking about then it's OK leave TB Joshua alone he is a man of God to those believing in him and nothing you or BBC can do to change that! smiley
*Politeness*
Why don't you try having your building collapse and kill 116 people and see if you'll get "lucky" like TB and absolutely no one charged with anything.

You keep being mixed up about salvation, works, faith.
Salvation is a gift of God. No amount of works or "righteousnesses" from you can earn it. Faith naturally leads to works, has nothing to do with salvation being a gift from God!

Final assignment: find out where the following are in the Bible.
Ciao!

*We are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags

*There is no one righteous, not even one

*A man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

*For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

*It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast

NATURE made women realists. Our time is limited - we don't have the luxury of waiting forever for someone we "love". Also, ideally, we don’t have the option of having different children with different men.
A man, on the other hand, wouldn't mind impregnating as many women as possible, and can do so practically all his life!

I won't tell you since you believe in quoting without expatiating i have also quoted God's word telling you that FAITH without WORKS is DEAD! James 2:26

So if you're not interested in knowing the type of WORKS James is talking about then TB Joshua remains what people call him: the man of God! smiley
*Politeness*
At least we've reached conclusions:
1) You’re unable to interpret the passage to mean salvation is NOT a gift from God but what people earn
2) You thought everything about TB was from BBC, not knowing scandals about him have been online years b4 BBC knew he existed.
TB was friends with and protected by the powers that be (the exact opposite of Christ) to such extent that even when his building collapsed and killed over a hundred people, he was able to sweep it under the rug!

James said FAITH without WORKS is DEAD! James 2:26
So what WORKS was he talking about that without it FAITH is useless?

As for TB Joshua i know him, his extended families, his home town, his times of struggle, his guardian who trained him here in Lagos and how he begged the family for assistance to travel to America and later returned just few months later to tell the whole family that they shouldn't bother anymore because he has found something that will make him popular and wealthy to the extent of sponsoring people to America.
All of these and many more i can tell you about him including ìbẹ́gbẹ́ festival in Arigidi Àkókó that Joshua always send food stuffs for the festival which is marked every 9 years.
One thing i won't take is for religionists of the same page to come and start rubbishing him as if they're anything better than him! smiley

Friend, I neither sought nor need support from anybody. I simply asked you if what someone posted about you is true.
Your statements about TB already told me you don't know much. Right from onset you said and kept saying that everything was from BBC. Nobody who knows anything would be saying that. All these videos below were put online years before BBC.

As to works, you are doing your best to sidestep your simple assignment: interpret the below to us to mean that Salvation is from works and NOT a gift from God:
1■[[(Ephesians 2:8-9) It is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast” ]]■
Never mind what is dead or not!

MaxInDHouse:
God's word stated clearly:

"Just as the body without spirit is dead so also FAITH without WORKS is DEAD" James 2:26

I think where you have issues now is what type of WORKS Paul talked about and what type was James emphasizing?
Because from what is written in God's word James expressly stated that WORKS really count not just FAITH!

As for TB Joshua's case i know you're troubled as i've persistently maintained that you have no scripturally based points to condemn him the man surely had FAITH and his WORKS still speaks loudly even after his death because many are testifying to the WORKS he did through the gift of SIGNS and WONDERS he possessed.

So what you don't know and trying to bury now is the type of FAITH and WORKS the Bible is referring to and how TB Joshua never met the criteria to qualify as a Christian of course the same yardstick disqualified all the others you may think are servants of God today that's why you don't want further discussion on that! smiley
*Politeness*
Friend, are all these below true about you? Do they call you Mad MaxinDhouse, etc.?
You were NOT asked what is dead or not. You were simply asked to interpret that passage you were given to somehow mean that salvation is dependent on works!
You know NOTHING about TB. I'm sure you know in your heart he's not kosher. Your ONLY reason for supporting evil is that JW say you do so. I already told you there are consequences to supporting evil - rest assured, sooner or later it'd come back to you in one form or another!

Courz:
Guy, I've been following your conversation with that dunce and I can see you are really taking him seriously. I knew you would get to this stage where he would begin to exhibit his Madness. For your info, Mad MaxinDhouse is Schizophrenic. He twists very simple words to mean something else. He twists Bible verses and can make Almighty God and Jesus Liars in order to prove his Cult right. He contradicts himself a lot. He is a chronic Liar. We call him Mad MaxinDhouse because he is a disgrace to anything human. He is not mentally okay. He has been told this numerous times by numerous people in this forum including his fellow JWs. He adores TB Joshua and that shows that he is Evil like him. For the sake of your sanity, stop taking the conversation serious. We that call him Mad MaxinDhouse know how to handle him, infact, he runs away when we tackle him.

Mad MaxinDhouse doesn't follow Jesus Christ. He completely disregards the words of Christ. He once called Jesus a Deceiver/Liar. He never agrees with whatever is stated in the Bible. He disagrees with the fact that Jesus is The Way The Truth and The Life. He is a prime example of JWs not being followers of Jesus. In fact, his utterances help to confirm that more and more. Because of this, his fellow JWs read his comments , become ashamed and deny him flat. They have called him Apostate 3 good times. He disgraces JWs in this forum and his comments help to amplify the fact that they are a Cult.

Mad MaxinDhouse is denying the claims of TB Joshua exposé simply because his Cult (Watchtower Bible and Tract Society) has also been exposed for some years now for the same thing. You can see that Like minds flock together. That's why he is so much behind TB Joshua. The same way BBC exposed TB Joshua is the same way they exposed JW and other foreign news stations have exposed them as well. Their dirty laundry is in public online of which JWs have been banned by their leaders from viewing. So, Mad MaxinDhouse has decided to carry TB Joshua's matter on his head. This is to tell you what JW is truly about. The same way members of SCOAN have been acting since this exposure is the exact same way JWS behave. There are many similarities between TB Joshua and JW. So, don't be surprised Mad MaxinDhouse is backing up TB Joshua with all his might.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy what you and i are reading about Jesus in the Bible was written by his FRIENDS not his enemies but if you want to know what his own people are saying about him today just do yourself a favour by traveling to Israel to hear what his own people have to say.
That's why most people are saying the NT was fabricated because what was written inside has no backup among the Jews till today!

If i want to discuss with a Jew today even if he is from the same family with Jesus there are scriptures in the OT written by their prophets to prove that Jesus is the Christ not what those living in the first century said. So his disciples and Apostles only witnessed what the prophets foretold so even though a Jew found it difficult to believe in Jesus their own scriptures has proved that Jesus is the promised Messiah (Christ)
So i'm not just following what his first century disciples wrote there are scripturally based points that no Jewish Rabbi can refute. smiley



This is what James wrote:

Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father declared righteous by works after he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? You see that his faith was active along with his works and his faith was perfected by his works, and the scripture was fulfilled that says: “Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he came to be called Jehovah’s friend. You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. In the same manner, was not Raʹhab the prostitute also declared righteous by works after she received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way? Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead! James 2:18-26
*Politeness*

You were asked to tell us how one DIRECT and EXTREMELY CLEAR verse in the Bible said salvation is dependent on works and you go beating about the bush as usual!
