Diff religions gv diff ans cox some of dem r devil oriented. The bible is a complete book. It has ans to all human qs my dear. Churches are growing rapidly as a result of satan interference who is using some churches to confuse the mind of ppl and to feed them with lies so that they will lose the blessings of God and salvation which the Almighty God has promised the faithful. oglalasioux: 1 Like |

TeddyPendergrass: Yet, these were part of the believes that they held as Truth from God, claiming to be spirit directed and used to condemn other religious groups for lies? But the major question[b] really is, if this "truth" (you now call it understanding) was spirit directed and came from God, why do they change? At least you have seen the Bible and it's message hasn't changed. Then what will happen when the present "truth" understanding need to change? Shaa, I dont really blame most of us following. It's just what we receive that we believe and when they change, we follow too. But that is where the truth lies, we don't really read the Bible to know what it says and what it doesn't. I guess that's what happens when you go beyond the things that are written. |

No. You lie bro. Why did you not tell us the part where they said christ was crucified on a pole and not cross? Why did you not tell us the part they said heaven (paradise) is on earth? And where they said there is nothing like Trinity? Please tell us more |

You are then told the errors in other bible translations and other christians. Jehovah's witnesses are okay. But they are not special in any way. |

rottennaija: only a handful of teachings have changed over the years. and jehovah witnesses DO NOT condemn any other religious entity in anyway for the record, do take not. the basic teachings of jehovahs witnesses have always been the same, there was never a time when witnesses taught that it was okay to lie, steal, kill, fornicate or indulge in any other wrong doing. these things are basic. love God, love jesus, love your neighbors blah blah blah. the only things that have changed are really complex bible prophecies that have deeper meaning than what they actually say. for example the dream that king nebuchadnezzar had is way more than just a dream and it's fulfilment is two. this is something am pretty sure you have never heard of. even the bible itself mentions that as we get closer to the end of this wicked system the "light will get brighter" meaning that for those who truly appreciate the message in the bible their understanding of it will only improve.

TeddyPendergrass: Yet! Other religious groups teach their members to lie, cheat, fornicate, hate jesus? Right? I know all that. Well, if they do not apply the dream of nebuchadnezzar to two fulfilment, how will it lead them to have a seven times that will lead them to calculate till 1914? But the truth is, the dream had no relationship with the calculation neither does the seven times in have 2 fulfilment. You can as well apply the dreams of that immersed image to have two fulfilment as well. Well. It's religion and they have to reach something spectacular. But food for thought, if I really God wanted 1914 to be calculated as claimed, why does the this generation doctrine keeps failing? The answer is in deut 18:20-22. Jehovah never sent them. They did so presumptiously. At least they have done away with some of the doctrines, but the GB would rather die than let go of 1914 doctrine since they know it will shake their very foundation. |

oglalasioux:Ok, now that is clearer. But that is how any evangelizing would take place. To understand them fully, you must come close to them, so you can learn the basics or elementary things. We do the same in sunday schools, and in Islam when you go to the "wakaranta". You initially made your post as if what that group is doing is wrong! You are a JW for some time so you know better. There's no church where individuals will be allowed to follow his own rules. Further, there's nothing bad in pointing out the errors in other bible translation. Many bible schools do the same. I also will never accept any church teaching HOMOSEXUALITY as a church not to be condemned by GOD and MAN and christians must be bold to say it. Reverend Adetiloye said so. As for if they are not special, why don't you leave that for God Almighty... You have an apology, my friend just confirmed that they even use it in their magazines, if it presents a better or alternative understanding to their own bible |
Re: Things I Learnt From Jehovah's Witnesses, Memorial Of Christ Death! by TeddyPendergrass(m): 5:25pm On Mar 25, 2016 |
rottennaija: listen this is not an argument, however you still need to be constructive no? I never mentioned that other religious teach their followers to lie cheat or whatever. they only teach them the basic things. who other than jehovah's Witnesses teach that jesus christ started ruling in heaven as king in 1914? or who else is teaching that the bible foretold many years ago that the US will be the world power and will remain the world power God's kingdom comes to destroy wicked ones and take over rulership. who else is teaching that only 144,000 will be going to heaven according to what the bible says? Answer: NOBODY!!!! as jehovah's Witnesses understanding of the bible continues to improve, they adjust their believes to fit what their new understanding is. FYI I am done going back and forth on this subject. have a nice life mister 2 Likes |

U loss u senses d moment u tink u gained ur freedom. at John 8:32 there Jesus says dat the truth sets u free nt independence. Nw tel me wat are u free from? Leaving d truth to be soaked in religious lies nd misconceptions? U ar nw free by being wit people who al believe dey we b in heaven if they live a good life wen their way of life does nt even qualify dem to be people who will inherit d earth as the bible teach? Ar free by bein wit dose who tke delight in displeasing God's standards and principles wich dey view as burdensome? Ar u free by being wit dose who do nt provide real satisfying answers to life's big qtns, nd who do nt use d bible to provide real satisfying hope 4 humans, wit dose who do nt knw God's purpose 4 mankind? Is dis d freedom u really want? Mat 7:13,14 prove dat dere is only one correct way to worship God today dat way leads to life few ar finding it majority run away frm it, why is dat? because dey ar been blinded jst as recorded at 2 Cor 4:3,4 states.

okitz4: Yes and I only accept what the Bible teaches, not what I know have been failing and will continue to fail. That's why I'm making more research in the Bible and other sources, I'm not limiting myself to what the Watchtower teaches anymore, I'm being more like the boreans, I thoroughly search out the scriptures before I accept anything. Well! Unfortunately with this mindset, I'll never be an elder. But I'll rather not be an elder than be carried away by every wind of teaches and teach people what I do not believe in. I don't want anyone to break my heart tomorrow when they will come out and say, "well jesus evidently referred to this generation as having 3 overlapping generation" or perhaps now refer them to worldly people. |
