InansBobo:
Have u ever been to a Pentecostal church and was sent out because you were not with offering/tithe?
Has any Pentecostal forced money out of your pocket? (if any then run from there because they are many that don't do that). You just want to attack baselessly

You are not being truthful. What is the difference between force and coercion?

Adeboye said that if u don't pay tithe, U will go to hell.

They have a huge work force base in every country of their operation.

Here in Nigeria, they operate from Igieduma in Edo State otherwise referred to as Bethel.

In there , they have thousands of volunteers in different discipline to assist in every aspect they may require. They are skilled, semi skilled and so like that. With such volunteers for free, you may wish to agree that funds would be just a minor faction to erecting structures. And yes they don't pay salaries to their volunteers(as they always say) but they have other volunteers that do the cooking, another that do the farming and another that does just about any other thing. It's like a system of government where you trade in barter by helping some group do what your group can and the other groups help your group whey they can. That way money becomes almost insignificant.

But hey man. That sheet is a cult.
So many rules, u don't fuxk doggy style, u don't keep goatees, u don't pray with others, no allegiance to the country, no singing of national anthem, no joining of military, no smoking but you can drink to stupor and no anal sex,

From your points, I hold a strong belief that you were once a witness! I would like to know more from You why you left. Can you give the reason?

Bro check my UserName.

Warri no dey carry last, like I'll always say thug of war just stand on your ground and pretent to be one of them then pull out nothing will happen... Trust me and she always be with you

You outsmarted yourself, not her or Jehovah. Unless you wasn't baptized while you were associating in the truth alongside with her.

Christianity has turned God into a begger... God gives money not the other way round, the only thing God wants is worship, praises, good deeds, morality, and spiritual commitment then follow his instructions but not money... Better use that money and help poor people around you, it will score you more than sharing it to your pastors that buy designers shoes and clothes... Ask your self did jesus ask his followers for gold and lively things or did jesus wear goldern shoes or expensive clothes... So Christians let me ask y'ol are you copying jesus or your pastor?

Don't lie you aren't part of them and again how come you know so much of these if you base in igieduma ?

Voluntary contributions

Good question

oglalasioux:


So threats of hell fire and hardship if you don't pay tithe is not force?

So JW are Muslims right?

mencer:
You're talking about two different religion.... They're not the same

There are churches.....and there are businesses. Most churches are businesses.... you should be able to discern which is which. The two top priorities of a church are to help prepare you spiritually for Judgement Day....and to help the poor. The top priority of a business....is to make profit/accumulate wealth.

Through voluntary donations via a box at every corner of the Their woship premises

I hear bro... Kain ur line

Just like most posters have said, the donations are strictly on optional basis. On the other hand, the JWs are good but like Deepwater said, they operate like a cult. Apparently, most religious groups do so but theirs is to another level. I cannot forget them excommunicating my mom because she joined the army. What a church!

But hey! They practice what they preach and are not cacophonous during service.

Jethrolite:
Oh bob, e be like say English too follow the matter self and our connect na based on long distance. As if the girl de on local call for hood, the trap for catch because na physical I for pack omo and jik full her body, wash am well well until she weak. She for chop something before marriage self. Well, I don move on, my eye de bigger things. I no get time for anybody when want give me delay again unless the delay worth am.

Naso bro just move along no tym

Mat 9 : “according to your Faith be it unto you.

if u believe u going to hell and cursed for not paying tithes ..then so shall it be unto you

but
If u believe not paying tithes ...does not affect your relationship with God ..then it wont.. cos Jesus (the founder of Christianity) and disciples never paid tithes .. but still served God.

pple have the free will to choose what they believe and what their spirit tells them.

Jethrolite:
It was not possible in my case o. At all and it wasn't funny. I even offered to convert but she said that I had to be born a witness.

A non witness can marry a witness. The conditions are 1. If you are baptised or convert to witness you won't have any problem 2.if you force your way and marry the him or her the witness will be disfellowshiped for a period of six months to one year, with good signs of repentance. 3. Members of the family of the witness might attend your wedding especially if the father is one of the elders. Witness believe marry only in same faith.

so it has even come to the stage that Jehovah's Witness is even compared to the Pentecostal Church. Smh...
instead us to talk about Scriptures on Sunday just as Muslims do on Friday. I'll open Nairaland & be seeing stupid, controversial & irrelevant topics about Christianity on Sunday. For your information OP, JW is not regarded as a Christian Denomination. I rest my case...

Kingstanding:
. But G.O's said no tithe no heaven and also God will not answer the prayer of anyone that did not pay tithe.

so G. O now represents the whole Pentecostal churches. Tithe and offering is in the Bible, even the Bible did not say force anyone.
it's your choice to give or not.

All they have is a box where any willing attendee is free to drop whatever he or she desires. No POS, no long sermon, no threat on giving like most Pentecostal churches. Jesus Christ never forced people to give and Christians are meant to emulate Christ.

I don’t like their doctrines but on this i am impressed.

They don't do Tithe or offering, you need to correct that impression. The boxes are there only for voluntary contribution

You no want GO to fly jet?

Thanks you

bionixs:
no church COMPELS anyone to give offering,no matter how they paint it in black on the social media; but if the priest in the church truly want the prosperity of his members,he would encourage them to give. give and it shall be giving UNTO you. Any person that discourages you to give doesn't love you or your true prosperity.It is not biblical NOT to give. Giving is living. you don't reap what you didn't SOW. Giving is showing seed

Giving is not the key but "Cheerful" giving is. The heart condition really maters to God when we make contributions to him. Many people today give with the intent of getting back just as your post portrays. But Jehovah's Witnesses recognise that Jehovah is well pleased when they give from the heart (2cor 9:7)- "Let each one do just as he has resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver". Hence their members don't have to be compelled or reminded on a weekly bases to contribute to Him.

JW ll preach to u n ask u to drop sometyn in an envelope. Kingdom work no easy without money. ( money is the vehicle to Goodnews)
