Jehovah witness teaching are true ooo . they speak truth and I have been there listened and confirmed everything.
In short one day I read through king James and new world translation there bible, I found out out that virtually everything written are the same walai I couldn't believe my eyes. The only thing is the use of English for instance there is an advancement in English I.e thy kingdom come (king James), let your kingdom come(new world translation). The religion never change, they are still the same and the most peaceful on this earth as far as my research. anytime there is an adjustment, immediately they notify everyone. The way they run there meetings is nowhere to be matched compared to my church in fact I later discovered that my pastor use to read there awakes but instead talks about prosperity. Mehn I give the religion maximum respect anyday anytime. There are just too much and I am attending there meetings over 5months now, I have not regretted it.

Just leave that guy called freedom or whatever his name is,he would be worse than someone who has a stone tied to his neck and cast into the sea....can see the devil is really using him big time.
and he painted it like he is a witness.... A proud apostate that refused to take advice and now he's disgruntled with the organization and Jehovah... I pity him

okay I'll ask you this...did you discover this yourself or is it mere hearsay ??

Second, can you prove the above??

JW's do not celebrate birthday parties, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, or other unbiblical celebrations. Even Christmas and Easter are not celebrated as they are pagan holidays.

"...birthday celebrations tend to give excessive importance to an individual...Jehovah's Witnesses do not share in birthday festivities (parties, singing, gift giving, and so forth)...." (School and Jehovah's Witnesses, 1983).

"...nowhere in the Bible do we find that parents are to be worshiped, or that there should be a Father's Day and a Mother's Day kept in their honor." (Awake!, May 8, 1956).

"Christendom's chief holiday, Easter, therefore finds no support at all in the Bible. It is of pagan origin." (The Truth that Leads to Eternal Life, 1968).


But the truth is that these celebrations are harmless, and not contrary to Biblical Christianity. To say that Mother's Day or Father's Day is a worship of parents is absurd. It is a show of respect and appreciation.

The Christmas and Easter holidays are very Christian holidays that coincide with pagan holidays. They were set on these dates to divert attention from the pagan holidays to the truths of God.

The moral bias that is plaguing NL and it's developers has left Mile 2 and will soon arrive Aso Rock.

Dear Seun,
As an atheist why do you favour the Muslims over the non-Muslims? The following is my point.

If an Islamic-centered post was on Nairaland there will always be a prompt asking you agree to believing in the Islamic faith before commenting why isn't it so for other faiths.

Please address this issue to show fairness to all as you do not share the same line of thoughts and beliefs as they.

Best regards,

U.Z
I have asked this a million and one times, and Seun always ignores the question. Which has made me come to the conclusion that either he's secretly a Muslim, or he has strong ties to the Muslims.

He's simply scared of them. Have you asked why you don't need a password to view a Christian thread unlike the Muslim's?

JW says....
"To get one's name written in that book of life will depend on one's works, whether they are in fulfillment of God's will and approved by his Judge and King." (Watchtower, August 15, 1972). ...


but the Bible says...
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV)
okay it is the gift of God...do not work for it and just be there hoping to reap where you didn't sow

Did you not read that "faith without works is dead?"

Hahahaha I just feel for the Op. Its even the friends of the witnesses or those who study the Bible with them that are responding to your accusations. My question is this: WHY WASTE YOUR THREE DAYS ATTENDING THEIR CONVENTION IF YOU KNEW ALL THIS ABOUT THEM ALREADY? IF IT WAS A MISTAKE, WHY NOT QUIT AFTER THE FIRST DAY? Lol! Op. Be kind to yourself! YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED!!!

we believe in baptism... In fact we get baptized before being acknowledged as witnesses of Jehovah.... Now you need to discuss the Bible with witnesses for you to understand why we don't believe in the other two but if you're not open to such discussions then I have nothing to say to you
