this is how you entice people with your sweet mouth, persuading them to believe what you say and making them take the decision by themselves. Why don't you address the issue on ground. 'claiming godliness but denying it's power. Money seeking pastors are major problems of Christianity. Christians should be united and not segregated.
We don't solicit for funds, so I dont understand what this rant of yours is all about.

John 3:16 Jesus is God's only begotten Son, whom He (Jehovah God) sent to die for our sins, because of His love for us (I cited the verse and summarised it in my own words).

The very same miracles that the pastopreneurs use to deceive the sheeple? You live in a world governed by the devil who is walking like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour and you expect a life of bliss, The Bible said it clearly that one must pass through trials and tribulation toenter into the kingdom of God, those tribulations can come in any form, and the solution of all mankind's problems is God's Kingdom, of what use the is the kingdom of God of we can simply perform miracles and solve those problems. BTW thr miracles performed by Jesus and his disciples are very different from the charade you people are doing here, and does the ability to perform miracles a proof that one is a Christian? The priests of ancient Egypt did perform miracles too.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


Did you read the above verse? That was Jesus Christ speaking to his disciples and giving them a great commission. They are to go into all parts of the world and preach the gospel to every human on earth.

Today, the group called Jehovah's Witnesses often pride themselves saying they are the only ones doing that assignment given by Jesus Christ. Whenever they make such statement, they hardly get any objection cos most people have at one time had them knock on their door to preach to them. I also fell for that talk from them which made me see them as the only ones fulfilling Christ's commission. It made me feel bad about folds in Christianity cos I can't recall the last time someone approached me to preach.

Over the years, I've come to realize how much of a falsehood the statement is and how it positions them to reap from where they did not sow.
Where were the JW when Christians were facing challenges spreading the gospel in difficult parts of the world? Do you know the trouble faced by the missionaries who brought Christianity to Africa and even South America? They battled malaria, diseases, voodoo, ritualists, hostile communities, pagan beliefs and culture, wickedness, cannibalism etc. Yet, God helped them succeeded. That's why we have Christianity in Africa and other parts of the world. Did the JW face any of those or were part of those missionaries? NO.

When the missionaries had succeeded in establishing Christianity in major places, the JW now showed up when conditions had become favorable. What they are doing now is going from door to door, trying to convert Christians and turn them to JW. It now becomes nauseating that they are boasting of being the only organization that preaches from door to door. Where was the JW organization when conditions were harsh?

If they really want sensible people to accept their claims, then they should go establish in a ground that is hostile. They should try and establish Kingdom Halls in hostile Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc. They should go preach from door to door and see if they will last a day. Yet, we have Christian bodies in those countries going through the storm of persecution in those countries.

The Europe where JW are at peace today, do they know what the Catholic Church faced before Christianity could be established there?

So, before a JW boasts to you of how is Organization are the only ones preaching from door to door, let him know that they were never around when conditions were harsh and hostile.
According to your statement above , even the so called preacher are reaping from where they did not so and I believe you are part of them.
Most of the place we have all this Pentecostals church today are been developed by spiritual churches. Like C&S and C.C.C.
So I believe if your are asking the JW this question you should also ask yourself why are the Pentecostals not starting their Churches in a forest and make the forest a developed community like the C&S and C.C.C.

when Jesus started his ministry, where did he start from? BTW the bible is the guide so we show people what is written in it and allow them to conclude ON THEIR OWN.
My question is: who made the JW the judge of other churches? You are making a wrong comparism if you attempt to place Jesus and his disciples in the same league with the JW They healed the sick, raised the dead and did many wonderful things which the JW of today denied it's do-able.

Bro take it or leave it, the JW is an anti-christian body and you know it unless you choosed to be deceptive

idiot, and your happy you convented babalawo. see your life. were we're you and your JW when the Catholic pass through the hot nail to bring the good massage to the world.

Emmanystone:

I went for Evangelism 2 yrs ago and met a man who when i began talking to him, he introduced himself as a Babalawo. They way he said it, he meant to scare me, but instead of being scared, i sat down and took him on so genlty that he didn't know when i led him to Christ.

He said the sinners prayers, before he knew it. He kept asking me, who are you? He asked me that 5times. Who are you that you don't have fear? I told him i represent Jesus, and in Jesus there's no fear. He told me why he kept asking me who I was.

He said, many people had gone to him, but immediately they hear, 'I be Babalawo o, they turn back and leave, but he told me that, instead of leaving, i sat down.

He said countless Jehovah's Witnesses had gone to him, but they turn back and leave as they hear who he was.

The next day, i took a pastor to his shrine, where he lived, before us, he brought out his neck, chain, his hand band and rings and destroyed them before us. He knelt down and was seriously prayed for. Today he is a Christian. I spoke with him today. He will be in church tomorrow.

What are the JW afraid of that they don't confront satan? They wait for territories to be conquered before they come with their kingdom message. I won't be surprised that they will now go to the former Babalawo to preach the kingdom.

Be careful those of you who entertain these people thinking they are serving God. They hate Christians fiercely.

Just imagine the part Festus Keyamo played in Otobo's saga, all because he is a witness and Apostle Suleman is Christian.

Stay away from their energy.

alBHAGDADI:


The JW owe us an explanation when they pride and boast in saying they are the ones who carry out Christ's assignment of preaching to people. How can make such a boast when the people you are preaching to are already Christians? If you think you have the right to boast about preaching to Christians, then what do you expect those missionaries who went through hell to convert those people to Christianity to do?

I wonder where I said I do not like JW. Why are you suddenly taking the victim or the persecuted position? You spend all your money publishing watchtower and awake magazines to discredit the Catholic Church and other Pentecostal Churches, but when they expose your falsehood, you claim they don't like you and are persecuting you.

I can assure you that if the few missionaries facing persecution in Saudi Arabia successfully convert the country to a Christian country, you JW will immediately go there and start trying to convert the Christians to JW. You will start boasting of how you are the only ones preaching from door to door in Saudi Arabia, but you were never there when conditions were harsh and hostile.
Before I got admitted into school, I spent years at home trying... Then one day, a witness came and was welcomed(an elderly man), I listened to him and as JWs always do, he offered to come by some other time and I obliged. He came twice every week and spent an hour(minimum) on each day. I was enjoying our time together 'cos I became more active in studying God's word( from the bible and "what does the bible really teach?"wink, credit to them.

So this day came, where I was asked to choose a topic from the book as always, and I selected a topic that concerns heaven and hell, that was the genesis of our 'unhappy' encounters. He gave me quotations and I also gave him those that support my stance and we separated without a resolve. He came again and we still didn't agree, then he decided we move on which we did.


Then a day came when he asked if I was God's witness, then I affirmed. He asked whether I go to to preach God's words, I was sincere enough to tell him Yes, but not as active as they are. I remember mentioning to him also, that my belief is, it is not enough to go and preach and end there, but that our lifestyle should be able to convert a sinner or make positive impacts.


Well, after all of that conversation, he invited me to their hall and I agreed but couldn't make it for their fellowship, the next time he came, he was livid saying he had told his brethren that I was coming over, I sincerely apologised with plans to make it the next meeting. But then, I thought to myself, this man must be serious with me to have told his brothers, so I asked him why, then the main purpose of every precious time we had had together came up. He wants me to get converted from a Christian to another Christian, I should become a member of Jehovah witness. I bluntly refused and could not imagine why he would even imagine such. I questioned him as to why they pass by 'ogogoro spot', some brothels around without preaching to them and he picked offense and found a cunning way out. I cannot use the action of one dear man to extrapolate to other members, I want to ask a question though: to the witnesses in the house, please what do you think is the reason for that man's action?

P.S- He stopped coming after that, tried to resume again after a while but I was admitted shortly after.


Now in school, I met another member, a guy. This guy is the most open-minded witness I have ever encountered. Whenever he comes around, I leave every other thing to discuss God's word with him, even when I was sick(lol, remember a friend saying na wa o). I so much enjoyed our time together and I miss him. Well, on this very Sunday, he came with another member (female) and we discussed and at a point, I didn't quite agree with him; on explaining my point with him, he saw reasons and that was it. I noticed the lady's countenance though and I expected something to happen. Behold it did happen, the next Sunday, he wasn't the one at my door but two other ladies and when I asked after him, I was told he has been assigned to something else in the Kingdom hall. To the witnesses in the house, please can I from this one action, infer that you guys don't listen to other's opinion but yours'?


I just recalled something that elderly man once said, that if I go to some countries facing natural disasters, I will find JWs there catering for the needs of their members. Then I asked him, why their members only, got no response. The other very painful one was that if only I was their member, he would contacted someone to help with my admission. It was at that point I ended it all, because despite him being rigid with his views and not tolerating mine, I was patient with him because of his age.

Happy Sunday everyone. #do unto others what you want done unto you

two ladies from jw came to my house for evengelism.. I wasn't in the mood for argument so I simply asked them to start with a word of prayer, what I know they hardly do, they left with style with a promise of coming back. They never came back I think they will avoid my room
I know that chases them off but I really do not use it because I like the study.

They pray with you when you agree for a personal study from their book "what does the bible really teach?"

JWs only thrive where other Christian had already done the handwork. Aside from that, they don't. But even with trying to steal other Christian's disciples, they still fall far shot.

For example, I simply take a look at redeemed. They don't go house to house, or if they do, it's rare. But they are going in an amazing way.

What JWs don't know is that the house to house preaching is not a biblical command. Jesus said preach, he didn't give any specific way of doing so. But their leaders have changed the Bible to read what they want to believe.

The only thing I see in this house to house preaching done by JWs is that it brings them money, which is why watchtower is one of the wealthiest religious organizations on earth.
the house to house preaching was the pattern set by the early christains and it has always borne more success in carrying out Jesus' comission to preach the good news in all the earth. Acts 20v20 Acts 5v42

I am not a Jehovah’s Witness and couldn’t care less about their beliefs but spewing trash out of malice and ignorance makes you look like a total jack Arse.
Jehovahs witness’s have been the most persecuted Christian sect in the past 100 years and still face persecution in many countries where their activities are banned.
These guys were the most persecuted people in NAZI germany after the Jews. Do yourself a favor and read about the purple triangle and you will hopefully see the meaning of resilience in the face of persecution.

They are not the only ones preaching the good news out there. If they were the only ones, they would be twice the number of Mormons as they started their movement around the same period.

If they say that they are the only ones preaching because they are not as much as Mormons as narrow is the way that leads to eternal life and broad is the way that leads to destruction, just say Amish and fundamentalist LDS are not as much as they are so these two groups are the only ones preaching the good news by their own logic.

The other scenario is for jws to say that the religions with large number of followers lure these followers with humanitarian works while they ( the jws) preach to people the undiluted word of God (distribution of magazines). Then tell them that the apostles preached and made life easy for people too (by healing and helping the poor in the congregation) and they still gained followers and the apostles did not distribute magazines.

Most times they can't even explain why they think they are the only ones doing the actual preaching work today.

Why not you start by telling us why you guys don't take your Good News to Hostile nations? Why only on Territories that have been Conquered?

Do you know that when a soul is won, that soul can not be rewon? When Christ writes my name in the book of life, it doesn't mean the denomination i decide to attain service, am won already. You guys going about inviting Christians whose names (Well, who knows if there were Christians before?)are written in the Book of Life, you guys are not winning any soul.

Go and evangelize Muslims. In this platform here, we know the JW, you can never see one engage and atheist or a Muslim. Their problem is against the Catholics primarily then the Evangelicals.
