I believe everyone can see the reason why i always ask those who claims they once associate with God's organization to PRESENT the better performing group they've found outside God's organization! smiley
Because i'm 100% sure that there is no other way apart from JW Organization, whoever leaves that Organization is only going out for uncertainty and the only thing they will continue to relate is what they learnt while still associating with JWs!
So Mr maximunimpact thanks for proving that only JW Organization can impact knowledge in people's hearts! smiley

Kingsnairaland:
they have their own forged Bible which they twist
Even in that their Bible perversion mistaken to be Bible version Jesus is called God.

*. John 20:28 NWT: In answer Thomas said to him: “My Lord and MY GOD!”

*. Isaiah 9:6 NWT: "For a child has been born to us,+
A son has been given to us;
And the rulership* will rest on his shoulder.+
His name will be called Wonderful Counselor,+ MIGHTY GOD,+ Eternal Father, Prince of Peace."

he (Janosky) should tell us what kind of God Jesus is.

The God that was with the Father from the beginning, John 1:1;

Was He a false God yet He was with the Father from the beginning?

Watch Tower devotees ways of reasoning...

MaxInDHouse:
Please prove the highlighted below is true by presenting (not any Organization better than JWs as i usually ask others to do) but just one single topic you raised since you left JW Organization!

Haba at least you said you're pitching your tent with Jesus, abeg just present one single topic you raised on this forum for this your Jesus with whom you pitched your tent after leaving God's Organization! cheesy
What he and anyone choose to address on this platform is within his jurisdiction and power to do. You don't have to dictate to him what he decides to do. You didn't set the rules here. You once state there are no rules here only to comeback to agitate rules must be followed when you were cornered on this same thread.

MaxInDHouse it looks like our next topic is POLITICS grin

Now let's talk about JWs and POLITICS!

The Watch Tower claims the United Nations is the image of the WILD BEAST mentioned in the book of Revelation, in other words UN embodied world politics; below is how Watch Tower views the UN:

Kingdom Ministries (Canada) May 2005 p1

Jehovah’s day is near

As recorded at Revelation 17:9-11 the apostle John mentions seven kings, representing a succession of seven worldly powers. John also refer to an eighth king which now represents the United Nations. are we to expect other world powers to come to the scene? No, the prophecy states that this eighth king goes off into destruction, after which no earthly kings are mentioned. Does this prophesy help you to see where we are in the stream of time.

Watchtower November 15, 2001 p.19

'No Calamity Will Befall Us'

14 Anointed Christians are like alien residents living in tents apart from this system of things. Not even a plague draws near their tent. Whether our hope is heavenly or earthly, we are no part of the world, and we are not infected by such spiritually deadly plagues as its immorality, materialism, false religion and worship of the 'wild beast' and it's 'image', the United Nations.

Watchtower 1999 May 1 p.15 "Let the Reader Use Discernment"

A Modern-Day "Disgusting Thing"

7 Since World War I, we have seen the larger fulfillment of Jesus' sign recorded in Matthew chapter 24. Yet, recall his words: "When you catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation . . . standing in a holy place, . . . then let those in Judea begin fleeing to the mountains." (Matthew 24:15, 16) This aspect of the prophecy must have a fulfillment in our time too.

8 Demonstrating the confidence of Jehovah's servants that this prophecy would be fulfilled, The Watchtower of January 1, 1921, focused on it in connection with developments in the Middle East. Subsequently, in its December 15, 1929, issue, on page 374, The Watchtower definitively said: "The whole tendency of the League of Nations is to turn the people away from God and from Christ, and it is therefore a desolating thing, the product of Satan, and an abomination in the sight of God." So in 1919 "the disgusting thing" appeared. In time, the League gave way to the United Nations. Jehovah's Witnesses have long exposed these human peace organizations as disgusting in God's sight.

15 Revelation depicts "a scarlet-colored wild beast" that exists for a time, disappears, and then returns. (Revelation 17:3, cool This beast is supported by world rulers. Details supplied in the prophecy help us to identify this symbolic beast as a peace organization that came into existence in 1919 as the League of Nations (a "disgusting thing"wink and that is now the United Nations. Revelation 17:16, 17 shows that God will yet put it into the hearts of certain human rulers who are prominent in this "beast" to desolate the world empire of false religion. That attack marks the outbreak of the great tribulation.

Kingdom Ministry December 1998 p.5 Theocratic Ministry School Review

9. Revelation 13:11-15 accurately portrays how the Anglo-American World Power became chief sponsor and life-giver both to the League of Nations and to its successor, the United Nations. [Weekly Bible reading; see w88 12/15 p. 19 par. 3.] True.

Kingdom Ministry August 1994 pp.5-6 Theocratic Ministry School Review

20. What was "the disgusting thing that causes desolation" in the first century, and what is it today? (Matt. 24:15) [gt chap. 111] In 66 C.E., it was the Roman armies that surrounded Jerusalem; today it is the United Nations.

Kingdom Ministry February 1976 p.1 Branch Letter

Our brothers in Malawi and in Mozambique do not have all the printed aids that we do, but they continue to praise Jehovah. Even the vicious persecution that has come on them has resulted in the giving of a tremendous witness. (Phil. 1:12-14) We have at hand reports from all parts of the United States, besides Kenya, South Africa, Hong Kong, Malaysia, England, Canada and France, telling what is happening to our brothers in Malawi. Copies of the Awake! report on Malawi were furnished to representatives to the United Nations, to all U.S. congressman and senators. We know of over seventy radio stations that have carried the story. At least ten TV stations have featured it. Thus the world is hearing what is happening to Jehovah's people because they uphold God's kingdom. All of this contributes to the separating of people as foretold in Matthew 25:31-46.

Kingdom Ministry September 1970 p.1 Branch Letter

As we think back on the highlights of the program, we also remember the identification of the "disgusting thing" with the scarlet-colored beast of Revelation chapter 17, the United Nations. That is something that folks had been asking about ever since the assemblies last year.

Watchtower 1991 June 1 p.19 Their Refuge—A Lie!

[for the complete Watchtower article, with its detailed explanation of the United Nations standing together with Christendom against God's will, see next quote]

20 Christendom rested her hopes in the League of Nations, but it was overturned even without the coming of Armageddon. Now she has transferred her allegiance to the United Nations. But it will soon have to face "the war of the great day of God the Almighty," and it will not survive. (Revelation 16:14) Even a revived UN can never bring peace and security. God's prophetic Word shows that the United Nations organization with its member nations "will battle with the Lamb [Christ in Kingdom power], but, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, the Lamb will conquer them."—Revelation 17:14.

Watchtower 1991 June 1 pp.15-20 Their Refuge—A Lie!

6 Confident in their political alliances, Jerusalem's leaders were sure that no "overflowing flash flood" of invading armies would come near them to disturb their peace and security. When threatened by an alliance of Israel and Syria, Judah turned to Assyria for help. (2 Kings 16:5-9) Later, when menaced by the military forces of Babylon, she appealed to Egypt for support and Pharaoh responded, sending an army to help.—Jeremiah 37:5-8; Ezekiel 17:11-15.

7 But Babylon's armies were too powerful, and Egypt's troops had to withdraw. Jerusalem's placing confidence in Egypt proved to be a mistake, and in 607 B.C.E., Jehovah abandoned her to the destruction he had foretold. So Jerusalem's rulers and priests were wrong! Their trust in worldly alliances for peace and security was "a lie" that was swept away by the flash flood of Babylon's armies.

After demonizing the UN: Watchtower Become a UN associate as an NGO member

In 1991 the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of New York applied to the United Nations to become an NGO. In 1992 the Watchtower’s application was granted. As part of being a United Nation’s NGO the Watchtower agreed to a number of criteria that had to be met every year.

On Joining in 1992 all NGO’s agreed with the below requirement ;

The principal purpose of association of non-governmental organizations with the United Nations Department of Public Information is the re-dissemination of information in order to increase public understanding of the principles, activities and achievements of the United Nations and its Agencies. Consequently, it is important that you should keep us informed about your organization's information program as it relates to the United Nations, including sending us issues of your relevant publications. We are enclosing a brochure on the The United Nations and Non-Governmental Organizations, which will give you some information

When news of the Watchtower’s involvement with the UN appeared in the Guardian (UK tabloid) the Watchtower requested that they disassociate themselves. When news reached the “rank and file” Jehovah’s Witnesses, they inundated theUN offices so much with inquiries that the UN were forced to post the following letter on their web site.

Jehovah's Witnesses link to UN queried - Sect accused of hypocrisy over association with organisation it has demonised

The United Nations is being asked to investigate why it has granted associate status to the Jehovah's Witnesses, the fundamentalist US-based Christian sect, which regards it as the scarlet beast predicted in the Book of Revelation.

Disaffected members of the 6m-strong group, which has 130,000 followers in the UK, have accused the Witnesses' elderly governing body of hypocrisy in secretly accepting links with an organisation that they continue to denounce in apocalyptic terms.

The UN itself admitted yesterday that it was surprised that the sect, whose formal name is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, had been accepted on its list of non-governmental organisations for the last 10 years.

A former member said: "There is a glaring inconsistency which has emerged between the WTBTS's frequent portrayal of the UN as an evil organisation and its behind-the-scenes attempts to curry favour with that organisation. Were individual members to be aware of any formal link they would be devastated.

"By no stretch of the imagination could the WTBTS be considered to share the ideals of the UN charter unless you suppose that destruction of the UN by God is consistent with that charter."

The Witnesses, most frequently encountered by non-members when they attempt to make doorstep conversions, have faced accusations of bad faith before.

These have been most notably over the hierarchy's insistence that members should not accept blood transfusions and over accusations that sexual abuse of children by Witnesses' ministers in the US have been covered up.

Followers who criticise the Witnesses' leaders or question their decisions are routinely "disfellowshipped" which means fellow members including their families must shun them.

An obscure and ill-publicised decision by the hierarchy in New York last year modifying the prohibition on transfusions by deeming that God had revealed to them that transfusions of some blood components might be acceptable, providing there was later repentance, has come too late for many hundreds of followers known to have died because they refused blood.

In child abuse cases, the hierarchy insists there must be two independent witnesses - an almost impossible stipulation - before accusations are investigated.

The Watchtower Society has been denouncing the UN and its predecessor the League of Nations for 80 years, believing them to be a world empire of false religion, predicted in the Book of Revelation.

A recent publication since the organisation obtained its recognition describes the UN as "a disgusting thing in the sight of God and his people".

In an internal document, the WTBTS describes its policy as a "theocratic war strategy". It claims: "In time of spiritual warfare it is proper to misdirect the enemy by hiding the truth. It is done unselfishly; it does not harm anyone; on the contrary it does much good."

Being a recognised NGO with the United Nations - as more than 1,500 organisations are - gives status though not grants.

To qualify, organisations must show that they share the ideals of the charter, operate on a non-profit basis, "demonstrate interest in UN issues and proven ability to reach large or specialised audiences" and have the commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes about UN activities.

Disaffected Witnesses believe that the association, which has not been publicised to followers, is intended to increase the cult's respectability to sceptical governments, such as France's, which have refused to recognise it.

Paul Gillies, the Witnesses' spokesman in Britain, said: "We do not have hostile attitudes to governing bodies and if we are making representations on issues to the UN we will do so."

"There are good and bad bodies just as there are good and bad politicians. We believe what the Book of Revelation tells us but we do not actively try to change the political system."

A spokeswoman for the UN said: "I think we may not be aware of their attitude, which seems to be really strange."

I noticed that all what he has in his head are the things JWs planted there, so since he's been disturbing me claiming he has found something worthwhile outside the Organization is it a crime to ask him to share just few of those things he has gotten after leaving JWs?

The UN itself admitted yesterday that it was surprised that the sect, whose formal name is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, had been accepted on its list of non-governmental organisations for the last 10 years.

A former member said: "There is a glaring inconsistency which has emerged between the WTBTS's frequent portrayal of the UN as an evil organisation and its behind-the-scenes attempts to curry favour with that organisation. Were individual members to be aware of any formal link they would be devastated.

"By no stretch of the imagination could the WTBTS be considered to share the ideals of the UN charter unless you suppose that destruction of the UN by God is consistent with that charter."

The Witnesses, most frequently encountered by non-members when they attempt to make doorstep conversions, have faced accusations of bad faith before.

These have been most notably over the hierarchy's insistence that members should not accept blood transfusions and over accusations that sexual abuse of children by Witnesses' ministers in the US have been covered up.

Followers who criticise the Witnesses' leaders or question their decisions are routinely "disfellowshipped" which means fellow members including their families must shun them.

An obscure and ill-publicised decision by the hierarchy in New York last year modifying the prohibition on transfusions by deeming that God had revealed to them that transfusions of some blood components might be acceptable, providing there was later repentance, has come too late for many hundreds of followers known to have died because they refused blood.

In child abuse cases, the hierarchy insists there must be two independent witnesses - an almost impossible stipulation - before accusations are investigated.

The Watchtower Society has been denouncing the UN and its predecessor the League of Nations for 80 years, believing them to be a world empire of false religion, predicted in the Book of Revelation.

A recent publication since the organisation obtained its recognition describes the UN as "a disgusting thing in the sight of God and his people".

In an internal document, the WTBTS describes its policy as a "theocratic war strategy". It claims: "In time of spiritual warfare it is proper to misdirect the enemy by hiding the truth. It is done unselfishly; it does not harm anyone; on the contrary it does much good."

Being a recognised NGO with the United Nations - as more than 1,500 organisations are - gives status though not grants.

To qualify, organisations must show that they share the ideals of the charter, operate on a non-profit basis, "demonstrate interest in UN issues and proven ability to reach large or specialised audiences" and have the commitment and means to conduct effective information programmes about UN activities.

Disaffected Witnesses believe that the association, which has not been publicised to followers, is intended to increase the cult's respectability to sceptical governments, such as France's, which have refused to recognise it.

Paul Gillies, the Witnesses' spokesman in Britain, said: "We do not have hostile attitudes to governing bodies and if we are making representations on issues to the UN we will do so."

"There are good and bad bodies just as there are good and bad politicians. We believe what the Book of Revelation tells us but we do not actively try to change the political system."

A spokeswoman for the UN said: "I think we may not be aware of their attitude, which seems to be really strange."

Much like every other sanctimonious believe they pay lip-service to, JWs are also paying lip-service about neutrality in politics!
So apparently the Watch Tower governing body are politically neutral in the day but active at night grin

If you found my method of preaching wrong can't you just walk away peacefully?
Even Muslims, Buddhists, Judaists, Hindus and Traditionalists religionists always tolerate the nonsense and ingredients misinformed Churchgoers spew in their streets and public buses saying people will be roasted alive if they ignore your preaching so why must you always run after me simply because of difference in my method of preaching? cheesy

So its nolonger about me posting only political articles and its now because I exited religious section, guess which section we are right now grin

The Watchtower strictly warned all her members never to participate in the political affairs of any nation so you can't find a single JW throughout the globe in any political party.
Other religions going into politics wants to influence what is happening in their government so how on earth can you prove that a group whose members will be dealt with if any is found having anything to do with Politics is into politics? cheesy

Sorry let me remind you that i'm once an agent of the intelligence so before coming up with accusations think deeply over what you're coming to say.

Is this the false accusation you are talking about? grin

I know your next move is to lie and cover up the truth about Watch Tower's political neutrality, but am not surprised because you are like your father

John 8:44 (KJV): Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

When following the crowd men of intelligence only pity individuals like you! smiley

Let me enlighten you on the epistle your friend put up there to console himself.

In all the countries af the world prominent religious leaders always have a say in the political affairs of their nations. Before the colonial era it was not so, the native priests only officiate when it comes to spiritual matters and once they're done they return to their chambers (shrines)
But when the Western world began their moves to dominate the world they first condemn our native priests and established their own religion in other to continue monitoring our people. So that even when you get independent they will be monitoring the affairs of your government, that's why you'll notice that the majority of those handling the political affairs since Independence are Catholics and the likes.
It was gradually when the Western world realized that Pentecostals are now having more people in some nations like America that members of such religions are initiated into politics. WHY? Because during election the majority must be given the mandate otherwise there will be WAR!

I'm telling you this not because i want to preach JWs to you but to teach you how much an agent of the intelligence know about the intimacy between religion and politics! undecided

So the Western World agreed that before any religion is allowed to start operating within the country a permit must be issued by the government. This is to know if such a religion will not hinder their monitoring spirit. So all the religions you're seeing around you took the permit before they start operating.

Now this is where JWs had issues!
Because the churches of Christendom hated this group with a passion knowing fully well that anytime they are allowed to operate they will expose the hypocrisy of the churches who are supporting politics and killing their own people in political struggles they will influence the state authorities not to register the Watchtower. This happened in Russia and many Asian countries for decades. Until when the Russian government bowed to the pressure of the European Union on freedom of speech, expression and worship.
But when Russia now decided to re-candle the rift between them and America the Russian government decided to deal ruthlessly with any religion that will not pledge their allegiance to the state. And because JWs don't do that the Orthodox Churches in Russia seized that opportunity to unleash their long time vengeance on Watchtower.

So it's not about participating in politics but following the due process of getting the authorized PERMIT to start operating under the umbrella of religion!

For your information, the Western World is restricting the same rule they themselves initiated in the Arab World because if the Arabs are allowed to follow that same process the Western World will never have any influence in their political affairs.
WHY?
Because if it's the Arabian authorities that will determine the type of religion operating in their domain they will never allow any religion upon which the Western World have influence to enter their country. That's why the Arabs are always at loggerheads with the Western World.

I just diverted into politics to show you that you guys don't know anything that's happening around you. Your prominent Pastors know all these secrets that why you're seeing them having the president of CAN who will sit when politicians need to know how to manipulate things!

Sorry let's talk about the Kingdom of God that's just a token from what is happening in Politics that you can't know! smiley

Actually "christiendom" whatever it means to JWs don't hate JWs, it is the other way round.

It is watch Tower that have been "hurling vials of judgement" on Christendom and calling them all manner of names like apostates, the harlot, false religion, mentally ill people etc.

All the above are the kind of hate JWs have for others, that's not what a "peaceful religious group" should look like.

Great!

So you now understand what is happening!

God's Organization is always pointing out the evil Satan's organization is committing in God's name.
Take for instance, you are a member of the RCCG and you're a Nigerian, and another member of the same religion is a Ghanaian, now their comes up issues between those handling the political affairs of Nigeria and that of Ghana. Pastors in the same church will bless the weapons of war and off you go to kill your fellow believers in Ghana after praying in Jesus name! 2Timothy 3:5

I carry Watchtower on my head, YES!

Because if all the religions in the world are under Watchtower wars will seize to the extremity of the earth! Psalms 46:9

Now this is Apostle Paul's definition of FAITH:

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 KJV

Jehovah's Witnesses claims they have FAITH and the whole world can SEE the WORKS of their faith! James 2:18-26

Imagine a soldier who has been to war seen how people were brutally killed both those with weapons and harmless ones, young boys taken by force from their mothers and given weapons without any real training, husbands killed because they refused to watch their own wives been raped in their presence, possessions stolen by invading forces, food eaten at gunpoint while the owner watch helplessly properties destroyed and so many other atrocities all in the name of WAR.
Now a religion used a book (Bible) to remove that from the minds of people who have been trained to kill and they're now carrying Bibles and literatures to preach life. Matthew 7:16-18
And you people are coming up with worthless accusations against such a group only to say "they're first to accuse us"
Jesus said blasphemy against the son of man will be forgiven but blasphemy against God's Holy Spirit will never be forgiven! Matthew 12:31:32

So you can say whatever comes to your mouth just to tarnish the image of God's Organization but know that it's that same Organization that changed the beast in people like me turning me into a sheep today! Isaiah 65:25

You can continue deceiving yourself but i will answer for the benefit of honest hearted and sincere followers of my thread.

God himself provided rules regarding situations where a person accidentally kill his fellow man so people can kill people by mistake.
But when all the elders of one community decided to send their youths to go and exterminate the inhabitants of another community then Satan is behind the scene so let none of them pray in Jesus name before carrying out such a thing.
Meanwhile a person can hate his fellowman and secretly kill him due to selfish cravings but note the point of emphasis is not about one man who is possessed by a demon to kill his fellowman. But a whole bunch of beleivers setting out with weapons and going with the intention of killing people like themselves who are also believers in the same God!

Abeg that's totally different from just one man of course we will all condemn a killer and agree that he has been possessed by a demon not when a whole community carries weapons and praying in Jesus name!

See as you corner all of it again into REASONABLE and NOT REASONABLE.

You should understand by now when you say "reasonable" it means words or comments that dance to your tune. E.g when you had a discussion with me about the the word "Christian" and you keep saying it is bastardised and a cursed name and I kept showing you in the scripture where you are told to suffer bearing the name CHRISTIAN you were rejoicing in the fact that the name was bastardised and cursed. Even saying Jehovah cursed that name grin grin. Everything I said was UNREASONABLE even the scripture cited was UNREASONABLE grin grin

Jesus sent his followers out and they brought the report of their activities back to him

They brought their report back is different from Jesus asked them to submit their report. Those reports were not in hours or figures regulated by some men up till the extent of saying just
15 minutes or notify your overseer that you preached this month. It is worthy enough to be counted as ACTIVE in Field ministry and by extension an active Christian grin grin

JWs he will know the district that needs help in the preaching and teaching program that's how JWs are doing not SACKING people who are supposed to be God's workers not Papa's workers!

What happens to your members in the pioneering and full-time work in your midst when they don't meet the quota they are given?

I await the response grin grin
