All I know is that these Ponzi schemes, MLM etc just kill people's creativity and make them more aggressive financially, albeit on a low level.

The richest people in the world didn't get there by quick-money schemes, they got there by identifying what people needed and meeting those needs.

Not entirely true Bro.. There is no great fortune without a crime. Investigate every billionaire you know you will see am right. Even the all humble zuckerberg had to settle some brothers out of court

I don't know why all the evil forces in Nigeria are seriously concerned with running down MMM. For your information, MMM is not a get rich quick scheme, it's even clearly stated in their website, unlike ultimate cycled that promises 400% return of your investment within 2 weeks, MMM gives 30% within one month. An average good business can give you from 20% - 40% profit within one month.
For those ignoramus saying its robbing Peter to pay Paul, why do many meetings (like marketing meeting, women's meeting etc) make contributions and pays their members big money rotationally, this month Peter collects realised money, next month Paul collects realised money and so on. Provided they all keep making contributions nobody is robbing anybody.

are u trying to say rich people don't buy shares or invest. We can also call insurance companies thieves and scammers. You pay 6k for insurance on a flight with the assurance that if there's a crash your family will be paid millions. Now the plane doesn't crash and you don't get your money.What say ye about this?

This days I wonder what pastors preach about? Pastors are meant to preach on salvation and general things of Christ. But, No they won't. They would prefer to talk about MMM. Real men of God don't lose sleep over MMM and other stuffs like that. They should serve God and leave MMM alone biko.#FAKEPASTORS. shocked

Gb stands for governing body. These men are the anointed leaders of Jehovah's witnesses worldwide.

They sent a letter.. Not just to Nigerian congregations but to congregations worldwide.

I attended our weekly meetings today and a letter warning against any ponzi schemes was read.

Can't say everything in it sha but the details were:
1. Trust God for all your financial needs

2. If you're not sure whether the scheme would crash or not, don't introduce it to your brothers

3. Never be driven by the love of money

4. Satan is looking for ways to drive Christians into his court. Try to be vigilant

At the end of the letter, Hebrew 13: 5 and 6 was read.

Thank God i didn't go mmm or anyone

The letter was directed to all congregations of Jehovah's witnesses,not to the entire world. The information therein was for the consumption of Jehovah's witnesses,information for the General public could easily be published on the JW. ORG website or on the awake or public edition of Watchtower.There's no point bringing private matters to a public forum. The governing body has always warned against get rich quick schemes and it didn't just start today,please apply discernment with these kind of issues.

One thing I know is, if you're a real Christian and you study the word of God properly with understanding and the guide of the Holy Spirit , you won't be into any of the Ponzi scheme...

Lemme share some verses of the Bible...

Leviticus 25 vs 37
Ezekiel 18 vs 8
Jeremiah 15 vs 37...

@check the bolded, it doesn't exist.

I have learnt one of the secrets of staying financially healthy irrespective of the circumstances and it comes from a quote by Warren Buffett “Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”. Now that MMM is around with all the uncertainties and speculations about its longevity, this is the best time to join. As soon as people get full confidence in the system, cash out. If you don't learn to take risk, you will definitely work for people who do. Always remember that the biggest risk is not taking any risk at all....
