MaxInDHouse:God himself provided rules regarding situations where a person accidentally kill his fellow man so people can kill people by mistake..... MaxInDHouse What I need from this post is ACCIDENTALLY KILL can kill people by mistake . See as you dey corner corner. You only need to say Jehovah's witnesses only kill by mistake . At least you understand what you are saying. Pe le ti e.Meanwhile a person can hate his fellowman and secretly kill him due to selfish cravings but note the point of emphasis What I need here is kill him secretly due to selfish cravings . You will shout politics leads to war. I don't need to remind you that people get into politics sometimes to fulfill their selfish cravings and such selfish cravings leads to war and killings. Now you see the same denominator that links you and others together. In summary your members don kill fellow members before. The killings either plenty members are involved or small members what binds them together is that they are both involved in killing members. ![]() If you like group am again under you don't understand |

Kingsnairaland:Oh please don’t kid yourself. Locally and abroad, we’ve seen many people, even prominent ones in the society being puzzled over why Witnesses don’t engage in politics because being honest and moral people, they reason that we could be assets in the political clime so they’re ever confused when we tell them a loud NO. One of my brothers in the UK was pressed with questions why the “leaders” in the organization don’t push JWs to participate in politics. His response was: “Why should we? We have solved the problems that are tearing your world apart—prejudice, for example. Why should we trade in the gold for the mud?“ So don’t get confused, Jesus & his disciples(Christians) in the first century NEVER got involved with politics neither did they enrol in the army to serve the State in their day(John 15:18-20, 17:14-16) and even secular history can attest to that. The reason being that they were always busy with the preaching and teaching work(Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 5:42) and because of that, they were considered “unproductive”, “unpatriotic”, “dregs of the human society” and as those stirring up trouble and ruining businesses of pagans in the Roman Empire. Acts 19:23-41 Even a considerable number of Greek philosophers most especially Celsus criticized the Christians in the first century and called them a divisive, dangerous threat and destructive force/sect in Rome Can you imagine? All because of what? That although respectful of the authorities(Romans 13:1), they would not bow down to Roman Emperor and give what belongs to God to Caesar(Matthew 22:21), which is exclusive devotion Exodus 34:14 That’s why when we see you people criticizing Jehovah’s Witnesses, it doesn‘t surprise nor shake us(1John 3:13), we just laugh and remove face because you really do not see even though you have eyes. John 9:41, Acts 28:27 |

MaxInDHouse:This is not an admission that you understood what the guy was talking about. In case you want to divert, in your classic JW style, the guy said that you guy has given other Christian sect bad names like ‘apostates’, ‘mentally ill’, ‘harlot’ and ‘the great beast’. You have not addressed why your organizations has officially decide to give other Christian sects bad names and at the same time shout ‘Persecuted’. We have what we call ‘Religious Freedom’ in a secular democracy. You have no right calling other people who disagree with you bad names. This is evil and hypocrisy. MaxInDHouse:You are the one who is lying or failed to understand the points the guy was making. I know you understood him but you have to play the JW games on him. MaxInDHouse:It is good to point out evil but you have no right calling me ‘mentally ill’, ‘apostates’, ‘harlot’, and other derogatory names, for my believe in the Trinity, the Holy Spirit as a person (and not an active force) and Yeshua as divine (as not an angel). Your organization call them bad names for holding onto these believes, which even your founding fathers (including Jaze Taze Russel) accepted as ‘Bible Truth’. MaxInDHouse:You are diverting bro! You are not dealing with kids here. You are creating a hypothetical and utopian scenario to drive home an irrational argument. Mind you, the world is not made up of JWs and ‘other Christians’. We have Muslims, Buddhist, African traditional religionists, Christians, etc in every country and in every sector of their lives. You are making a very dumb argument by rehearsing watchtower’s talking points. MaxInDHouse:You said RCCG pastors will bless weapon of war in both countries if there is a hypothetical war between Nigeria and Ghana? Show me a single instance where an RCCG, Deeperlife, Assemblies of God, Hose on the Rock, etc pastor bless a weapon of war. Mind you the watchtower organization in Germany, during the Nazi regime, showed active support to the third Reich. Read your hidden history. Google watchtower and the third Reich. You have been thoroughly brainwashed bro! |

achorladey:Thanks for bringing this back to lamplight! The group name "Christians" wasn't the name God chose to call His worshipers. It was onlookers in Antioch that decided to call the followers of the Nazarene who claimed he is the Christ by that group name. Now when they heard it the disciples welcome it with Joy at least People around calling them Jewish confusionists (as the religious leaders of the first century labelled Jesus' followers) can now call them by group name identified with their teacher Jesus CHRIST! The divine name God calls all His worshipers from Abel till today is "Jehovah's Witnesses" Hebrews 12:1 compare to Isaiah 43:10-12 Jesus sent his followers out and they brought the report of their activities back to himOf course Jesus needed to hear from them how joyous the ministry has made them, so our report is not just about demands but the joy each disciple derive from going out in the ministry. Thank God you've been with us in the past. You will remember that someone who is not turning out his/her report will be regarded as "inactive" and such a person will be visited to know why he/she is no more active because the ministry supposed to be a thing of joy that all members should love to participate in doing it. 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!There are members of the organization who joyfully volunteered to serve as regular pioneers (spending longer time in the ministry) the Organization cherishes them most because these are the ones doing the greatest work in our midst and we appreciate them as the most joyous among Jehovah's people. So whenever any of them is no more meeting up with the self imposed obligation brothers are sent to help them spiritually (give them words of encouragement using the scriptures) yet if they're not meeting up they will be advised to drop the pioneering work since it's self imposed. Now this totally differs from what Papa did because those sacked depends on their earnings which they're not trained to manage unlike JW pioneers who knows that they're not supposed to bear more burden like having children to cater for. The sacked pastors will have children who must be catered for by Papa's ministry. So they need to earn for Papa's ministry to live that life others are living but JW pioneers don't live like others in fact they minimise their expenditure to the lowest minimum! ![]() |

maximunimpact:Just like Apostle Paul who was a politician and actively KILLING whoever tries to sabotage the plan of the Jewish community in their fight against Rome. YES i WAS once into politics though not fully part of the game players but well versed in their activities. But today i have RESIGNED my appointment with them that's why i'm telling you that you're threading on a very dangerous path. Forget about JWs your life is in danger once the politicians notice that you have interest in what they're doing!

MaxInDHouse:Now you want to discuss the name again. Which name are we to bear and suffer according to the first "governing body member" of Jehovah's organization aka Mr Peter aka deputy Jesus ![]() Which name was it that that your current religious leaders say you should bear that shows you are a TRUE FOLLOWER of CHRIST? What is the cursed bastardised and name given by confusionist doing in your books and correspondence since it is not the Divine name given by JEHOVAH Finally...... After he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year they assembled with them in the congregation and taught quite a crowd, and it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians Where and how does the word DIVINE PROVIDENCE get into the NWT. Will you agree the name CHRISTIAN is a divine name as supported from the NWT you carry? A. Yes B. No C. I choose to look elsewhere. D. My post are UNREASONABLE Thanks for telling us they are advised to drop. . That is what is REASONABLE to you. Simple they will be dropped from that assignment and all the privilege that comes with it goes as well. This one I said is UNREASONABLE ![]() Your report is not just demands . You shall must show that the comment is UNREASONABLE. It is not just demand yet a member that misses one month goes under the tag IRREGULAR PUBLISHER.Then, this your use of SELF IMPOSED captures why you need to learn to listen to others about the organization you belong. You can never tell what they have seen and read. You can only say something is self imposed when you know the history of it and even if you cannot look for it history reality tells you that any would-be member of the organization you belong must preach and report such field service for good 6 months or more to be considered ready for baptism. The reason you have the name UNBAPTISED PUBLISHER. Do you have anything of such in the Bible? Was Charles Russell reporting for Field service? Did Rutherford report his field service? Pe le ti e and self imposed palaver. |

Obviously you want to talk but i'll reserve my comments for the one to whom that post was addressed. However i'll tell you the meaning of what i said about Christendom Churches and Wars! Do you have military men serving presently as members of the aforementioned chuches? If you have them, then think about who each person will first go to for blessings before going to the battle front. Then you will get a clearer picture of what you're trying to argue about! Meanwhile Adolf Hitler vowed to eradicate the name of Jehovah's Witnesses in Germany because while all other Orthodox Churches were pledging their allegiance to the state and hailing Hitler, Jehovah's Witnesses wants to be neutral thinking they'll have to kill their fellow JWs in the countries Hitler will send them to! That's why he was killing God's people back then! ![]() true2god: |

MaxInDHouse:Even if it explained to you 50times you would rather hold onto the watchtower narrative instead of independently looking into the scripture. MaxInDHouse:So you mean it is wrong to address the followers of Christ ‘Christians’ because it was onlookers that gave them the name. You are a Nigerian (if I am right), who gave the name ‘Nigerian’? If my mother call me ‘True2god’ and I have been known with that name for 2000 years, do you mean it is not acceptable before God because God didn’t inspire my mother to name me such? Think and think bro! MaxInDHouse:What is wrong with people calling you a name that can be identified with your leader? Show me where God condemned the name ‘Christian’ in the Bible. MaxInDHouse:The divine name of God is not Jehovah. The Jews never called God Jehovah in their over 4000 years of existence. Show me a single Jewish source (either the Torah or the Talmud) where they call God Jehovah. The Jews don’t have letter ‘J’ in their alphabet so your organization is ignorant of what they are pushing out as ‘Bible Truth’. The tetragrammaton (YHWH) has no letter ‘J’. MaxInDHouse:Jesus didn’t command his disciples to go out and be selling books to the public, or seeking for ‘voluntary donation’. Show me, from the Bible, where the disciples were selling books and soliciting for financial assistance while preaching to the people. Show me where they were writing down their preaching activities and hours spent on the field and same given to Jesus for appraisal. Let me shock you, I have seen many JWs visit me drunk. Did Jesus ask his disciples to drink whisky before going for preaching work? MaxInDHouse:Most of them, especially in Nigeria, ended up poor and in debt. MaxInDHouse:It is not self-imposed because your organization passively forced them into the field with an utopian promise to escape the coming armaggedon. Most of them regret their poor decision at old age and I pray you won’t be a victim. MaxInDHouse:Irrelevant and diversionary. |

| Re: JW 001 Should True Christians Support Wars? by MaxInDHouse(op): 3:09pm On Jul 23, 2021 |
achorladey:Back in the first century the disciples never had any group name so most people who don't know their leader get confused whenever they see Jews practicing Judaism attacking Jesus' disciples. So they don't bear any different name than Jews until the inhabitants of Antioch who knew their leader began calling them "Christians" and since it makes them feel happy that they're now identified with Christ they welcomed the new development! Which name was it that that your current religious leaders say you should bear that shows you are a TRUE FOLLOWER of CHRIST?Since the first century there has been so many atrocities committed with that group name because Satan's agents planted also bear the same name {Matthew 13:25} so after Jesus returned in the year 1914 he began working on the group of restructure it, instantly Satan began fighting against them again just as he did in the first century so two years after Jesus began restructuring his group Satan instigated his Organization (politicians) to imprisoned then in the year 1916. But three years later Jesus released them and spontaneously they began preaching and teaching throughout the globe right from 1919 until Covid19 stopped it exactly 100 years later. But after they began preaching and teaching in 1919 Jehovah declared the divine name upon His servants 12 years later {Isaiah 65:15} and from 1931 we began bearing the name that separate us from all others till now! What is the cursed bastardised and name given by confusionist doing in your books and correspondence since it is not the Divine name given by JEHOVAHDivine providence doesn't mean that's the name Jehovah appointed but it was to be temporary since there is going to be a separation when Jesus return to see how well his group are doing! Luke 18:8 So JEHOVAH allowed His servants to bear that group name until after Satan's agents have soiled it in the blood of innocent people. Then the name became a curse that's why many of you don't even respect that name when you here someone say "i'm a Christian" despite you also claiming Christian you will just take it as something common. But let me get to any part of this planet and mentioned the blessed name my brother will lip up with joy as if they've known me for ages. All these you won't understand because faith is not a possession of all kinds of people! {2Thessalonians 3:2} just know that JWs use that name Christian in our books to remind us of how our first century brothers were called but if we are to address ourselves today with LOVE JOY and PEACE the divine name is : "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" ![]() |

MaxInDHouse:Why did watchtower call others ‘mentally ill’, ‘apostates’, ‘Harlots’ etc if they believe in religious freedom? Why is the watchtower organization not attacking Islam? MaxInDHouse:Gideon, Joshua, David, Samson, etc were all sent by God and were military men. Jesus healed the centurion’s (a colonel) daughter and never asked him to resign his job as a solider. What’s your point? MaxInDHouse:Read this book and clear your ignorant (Jehovah's Witnesses and the Third Reich : Sectarian Politics under Persecution by M. James Penton) |

MaxInDHouse:Divine providence doesn't mean that's the name Jehovah appointed but it was to be temporary since there is going to be a separation when Jesus return to see how well his group are doing Just tell me my post is UNREASONABLE . Show me the scripture that states the name is TEMPORARY and that because of future separation the name will become useless or discarded?Tell me why Jehovah and those given you spiritual food from JEHOVAH'S table still use a temporary name in their spiritual meal when the permanent existed before the temporary? Why, what is the need for a temporary name when the permanent is in place? Why is that name used to support the teachings that you are true worshipper of Jehovah when you have the authentic name from Jehovah? If you are being reproached* for the name of Christ, you are happy,+ because the spirit of glory, yes, the spirit of God, is resting upon you. But if anyone suffers as a Christian(that cursed name), let him not feel ashamed,+ but let him keep on glorifying God while bearing this name. Whatever scripture I quoted up there are UNREASONABLE? A. Yes B. NO C. I look elsewhere D. I divert into REASONABLE things So JEHOVAH allowed His servants to bear that group name until after Satan's agents have soiled it in the blood of innocent people. Then the name became a curse that's why many of you don't even respect that....... MaxInDHouse The above is reasonable I hear you. Those that you called first century Christians in your books and magazines are what kind of peopleA. Innocent B. Guilty C. Don't know the class they belong D. I look elsewhere towards reasonable topics Do those first century Christians get their blood soiled too? (the options above applies to ) |

I told you that these are spiritual things and they're deep so you can't understand it even if you read Bible from now till tomorrow.. All what you need is FAITH. Jesus said Satan will oversow weeds on the fine seed he planted {Matthew 13:25} both will be allowed to grow together a time of separation will come when people globally will notice that a unique group stands out from all others! Matthew 13:30 And today after more than 2,000 years a group out of over 42,000 claiming Christians stands out to the extent that all of you can SEE that this group is somehow different from all others {Matthew 5:13-16} and they began bearing another name completely just as Isaiah 65:15 stated and they have vowed never to raise weapons against their fellowman again {Micah 4:1-3} there is LOVE JOY and PEACE permeating their gathering globally. Galatians 5:22-23 You're seeing all of these and still asking for the specific scripture that will tell you what is happening! ![]() My friend all what you need is FAITH, as long as you remain in the midst of faithless people you can't see more than your nose!
