TruthinAction:Why is it that whenever someone tries to be sure of what most preachers are saying, the next thing is insult and anger? But Jehovah's Witnesses aren't like that in all their presentations (1Peter 3:15) You can only see someone facelessly insulting you on social media claiming to be one of Jehovah's witnesses. The truth is that Jehovah's witnesses aren't trained to preach facelessly so whenever you see someone arguing bitterly with anger know today that such a person is still an interested person NOT A CONFIRMED member of the organization,so they prefer to preach FACELESSLY on social media since they've not gotten the power of the Holy Spirit which gives true preachers boldness, confidence and coupled with virtue. Act 1:8 compared with Act 26:24-29 That's why i've been asking some of your friends on NL to direct me to those who can be seen since it's obvious all of them are lacking in self-control, perhaps i'll found someone well behaved with deep respect with their approach like the JWs. What is clearly stated in the Bible is "Adam will die" if he disobey certain instructions( Genesis 2:17) and the Bible confirmed that Adam lived 930 years and finally DIED! Genesis 5:5 You actually discarded an inspired Bible book (Ecclesiastes) because it doesn't go well with your assertions,but i quickly turned to other points to follow up with you perhaps you've gotten it right,but instead you're now angry. Well you've given an explanation on why you believe that souls can't die but it's like souls according to my own understanding of the Bible means the personality and it surely dies or seize to exist. Ezekiel 18:4 It would have been ideal if you give sound proofs than to debunk what God's Holy Spirit actually inspired a man of God to pen down for teaching and setting matters straight! 2Timothy 3:16,2Peter 1:21 For your information Sir, off all those inspired of God before the coming of Christ, He(Jesus) publicly declared that Solomon was FULLY inspired with words of wisdom! Matthew 12:42 So if Jesus commended Solomon's wisdom , i can't understand how you can speak against what he(Solomon) penned down under the influence of God's Holy Spirit! I'm now convinced that you're not in anyway different from your friends with the trait you're now displaying, initially i was contemplating meeting you in person perhaps you can display the fine qualities that's obvious in JWs. Matthew 7:15-20 Let me tell you my mind today! I wasn't born a JW and i hate that religion(Jehovah's Witnesses) with a passion i tried all i could to find another happy group just to forget about them but i can't just beat the feeling that they're the ONE and ONLY group that's gotten all the credits when it comes to displaying the qualities of God's Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22,23 God bless you Sir! |

brocab:Sorry Sir Jesus Christ Himself knew very well that Mary "His mother" and Simon, Joseph, Jude and James "His blood brothers" (Matthew 13:55) are also worshippers of the God of Israel, before He publicly declared He is much more attached to those having the same mindset with Him! Matthew 12:46-50 So we're extending our love to you by coming to discuss with you in your homes perhaps to reason together and have the same mindset. Isaiah 1:18 But since you're labeling us as "CULT" we can't force you to believe what we believe neither are we going to participate in any kind of sacred services with you! For your information Sir, Mary(Jesus' mother) later started putting faith in Jesus that's why He entrusted her care in the hands of John (a disciple). John 19:26,27 It's evident that James and Jude later became Christians but Mary would have gone to rest by then! So we're expecting that one of these days many of you antagonists would see reasons to agree that certainly Christianity shouldn't be divided against itself, but a happy global family of believers having the same mindset and line of thought! Romans 15:5,6,1Corinthians 1:10,2Corinthians13:11,Ephesians 4:1,3,Philippians 2:2 If our beliefs are contradicting and conflicting, surely we're not worshipping the same One and only TRUE God, it can only be Satan (god of confusion) who promote diversity amongst those claiming to be worshippers! 2Corinthians 4:4, Ephesians 2:2, 1John 5:19 God bless you Sir! |

Re: Jehovah's Witnesses: 17 Facts People Should Know About Them by Nobody: 7:20am On Dec 13, 2018 |
brocab:Sorry Sir i forgot to add a label! These are Jehovah's Witnesses from different parts of the earth, unitedly worshipping their God as one big happy family! Their backgrounds, upbringing, nationality, culture and skin color totally differs but as regards their beliefs and mindset THEY ARE ONE! John 17:15-19 But if you look carefully at them you'll notice (according to what you RIGHTLY said) that these individuals are either "selling something, selling themselves, need food,clothin and homes" FOR REAL. So you can do well to supply them with what they're BEGGING for at least to show some concern like your charitable friend Pastor,Reverend,Father,Most Sn Apostle, Prophet, Dr zodiakzax (all protocol duly observed)

Surely what Jesus said is 100% accurate! The Lord said "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free" I wonder where i would have been now if not for the Love shown by Jehovah's Witnesses. Well to all Jehovah's Witnesses out there, i'm saying "Thank YOU, Thank Jesus and the greatest Thanks goes to JEHOVAH the Provider of every perfect gift" for assembling YOU loving and caring people from different races together for all these fine works! Jehovah's Witnesses, thank YOU! 2Corinthians 13:11-14 1 Like |

brodalokie:You don't need to wonder or wander Sir. My brothers and sisters are always coming to knock on your doors, you'll see them standing quietly at bus terminals by our carts. So why not welcome one of us and ask whatever question you have? Jesus actually sent His own followers to go and meet people in their homes. Matthew 10:3-15 compared to Malachi 3:16-18 He knew very well that during the last days false religious groups claiming Christians will be everywhere. Matthew 24:23-25 One thing that none of them will be able to do is "humbly going to meet people in their homes despite all ridicules and insults" because arrogant,self esteemed, prideful and title lovers won't do that! Matthew 23:8 So you may do well to welcome Jehovah's Witnesses in your neighborhood to know why or what we've got to do with Jesus! Act 1:8 God bless you Sir! |

brodalokie:That's exactly why Jesus sent His followers out to go in search of people (humble and honesthearted ones) who feels the need of worshipping God in the right sense. But there's another powerful spirit out there that's making things complicated( John 14:30,2Corinthians 4:4, 1John 5:19) so for you to ascertain who is truthfully working for Jesus you must be mild, and you must always think of righteousness. Psalms 37:9-11,Proverbs 2:20,21,Zephaniah 2:2,3 compared to Matthew 5:5 |

brodalokie:Hmmmmmmmmmm you may be right you know, because the man spoke according to what is obvious to his sight and intellect so you only need to try and verify for certain before concluding. For example Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe said "i can only trust Jehovah's Witnesses when it comes to representatives of God in all things" so as the first ceremonial president of Nigeria, he insisted that it's only the Jehovah's Witnesses that he could respect to come and offer prayers for Nigeria at a memorable event during the early 60s! |

brodalokie: Who has brainwashed you all to believe that one day is equivalent to a thousand years. The Scripture never said that. It said a day is LIKE a thousand years. It also said a thousand years is LIKE a day. A son is like his father doesn't mean he is the father. So please change your mentality. Otherwise, you are saying that one thousand years reign of Christ will be equivalent to one million years. Please reset your brain and get away from JW brainwashing doctrines. It just makes you reason in one direction. 1 Like |

TATIME: Let me deal with the issue of the immorality of the soul and how to correlate it with other Scriptures that insinuate the the soul dies. The first point I want to make is that in English language, most words have multiple usages. So why a particular word might mean this in a context, it means something else in another context. I will give a few examples to buttress my point. If you check out the meaning of the word fellowship, see the different meaning attached to it from the dictionary. Noun 1.A company of people that share the same interest or aim. 2.A feeling of friendship, relatedness or connection between people. 3.A merit-based scholarship. 4.A temporary position at an academic institution with limited teaching duties and ample time for research; this may also be called a postdoc. (medicine) 5.A period of supervised, sub-specialty medical training in the United States and Canada that a physician may undertake after completing a specialty training program or residency. 6. (arithmetic) The proportional division of profit and loss among partners. So it will be wrong to take for instance the first meaning and ascribe it to the word fellowship in every context. In the same way, the word soul is not used in the same context everywhere in the Bible. See the dictionary definition of the word soul. Noun 1. (religion) The spirit or essence of a person usually thought to consist of one's thoughts and personality. Often believed to live on after the person's death. ▼ show 2. The spirit or essence of anything. 3. Life, energy, vigor. ▼ show 4. (music) Soul music. 5. A person, especially as one among many. ▼ show 6. An individual life. Fifty souls were lost when the ship sank. 7.(math) A kind of submanifold involved in the soul theorem of Riemannian geometry. You see the different meaning ascribed to the word soul. However, in the biblical context, it is either used as point 1 or 6 above. As point 1, it refers to that part of the man that does not die. It is the intellectual center of the man. It is the seat of emotion, reasonings and feelings. That is why the death are still conscious after death. It is the soul of man that goes to hell after death. Apostle Peter in his first crusade talked about the soul of Jesus not left in hell. And he clearly distinguished it from his body which he said, God did not allow it to decay. Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh (body) did see corruption (decay). But in other context, the word soul simply means the individual. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (being). Gen 12:5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls (people or individuals) that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came. In this context, the soul dies because it refers to the individual. But in the other context, the soul is that part of a man that lives forever and has memory and very conscious. Now concerning Solomon being acknowledged by Jesus as a man full of wisdom doesn't mean that all he said and did was right. King Solomon in his wisdom married 700 wives and had 300 concubines which led him astray from God. He even built houses for their gods. Jesus is the embodiment of truth. Until Jesus came, certain truths were not very clear. He even gave counter instructions to is contrary to the law of Moses which the Jews adore. If you want to know the truth about any subject, find out what Jesus and his Apostles taught on the subject. Don't use Ecclesiastes or Psalms or any other Old Testament book as an authority. We still get valuable information from the Old Testament but when it contradicts the teachings of Jesus and his Apostles, it should be discarded. Remember, Jesus is the one that has been appointed to judge the world, not Moses or Solomon. |

TruthinAction: The father and the son are one. No one has seen God but the beloved that is in his bossom who is here declaring him. The day you eat, that DAY (1,000 years) you shall die. And all the years that Adam lived was 930 years old and he died. He died the same day in God's calendar. It was not by mistake that the psalmist wrote down that a day is like A thousand years You think you can make it to that millennium? Some people think that Jesus is already with us and we are all in the millennium, waiting for Satan to be loosed to deceive the world if he is not loosen yet.

So these are posing as men pleases, these are the Watchtowers servants, not the servants for Christ!!.Ok.... So they are not begging for food-nor are they begging for clothing, nor are they begging for forgiveness, nor repentance! So they are just people not looking for love-personally-they are looking for numbers to fill up kingdom hall! {Ephesians 4:13-16} till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. So if you are expecting me to give up Christ for your rich organisation, a denomination already ripping monies from the servants of the Watchtower-who stand on corners not preaching Christ but Watchtower literature twisting the Word of God-by trickery, in your cunning craftiness of deceitfulness, plotting against the body of Christ!
