According to your number 3 point that means you celebrate Easter? So how then do you not celebrate at all? You sounding contradicting!

Jehovah's witnesses only participate in the commemoration of Jesus Christ death just as he stated in the Bible where he said: keep doing this in remembrance of me. Aside that we Don't celebrate Christmas nither do we celebrate birthday. why because Jesus Never celebrated his birthday. Do you know that pharaoh and herold celebrated there birthday in the Bible? and are you aware that John the Baptist was beheaded by herold on his birthday as a gift to his daughter?
There are so many other facts that shows that birth day celebration does not originate from God

I might end up marrying one if I eventually change my mind about marriage. cool
For now, I'm paranoid about marriage due to what I experienced as a child.

By the way am in love with one but she is trying to convert me to believe in things am not comfortable with like that Jesus is not God. Am being patient with her cos she truly loves me, am planning on coming to a compromise with her in our different beliefs so that religion won't interfere with our relationship, my pet name is unbeliever though but am okay with it once she is comfortable with not irritating me with her belief. Am very sure she ain't gonna agree to sex too but am fine with cos I've had my own fair share of sex in this life and am tired of it.

Hmmmmm....

So of the doctrines of some church's really piss me off...

Especially Jehovah Witness and Latter Day

Tho I believe you will be judged by what you believe in simple... Cos what your religion calls a sin is a norm in another religion.....

And you won't tell me that all our ancestors that didn't hear about the bible are rotting in hell or whatever!!!

When the Bible told you abstain from blood you should go back and ask yourself why Abel blood was counted while those whom Elijah killed(prophet of Baal) wasn't counted

And alias why it is also written that whomsoever keeps anger against his brother till the next morning or bear false accusations against his brother he or she is guilty of murder

And in murder means kill and for someone to die blood must spill

What is your question sir?

Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.

Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.


They don't celebrate birthday
(say na pagan thing)

If you wish them 'merry xmas'
they won't respond, they will

You got it wrong. They believe they will be a new earth after armageddon, this new earth will be occupied by the righteous ones while only 144,000 will make it to heaven to rule with God over the new earth.

I don't know how correct their doctrines are but I admire their lifestyle and how they employ brains when reasoning Christianity.

Thanks for the explanations. I think they're cool too and find their literature interesting.

This one tore my family apart. Your men are mostly gold diggers who want to marry out of their class, y’all don’t mind leeching on others as long as you don’t have to dirty your hands. Let me not even start on the misogyny and how much control is taken. The sanctity of family is torn apart because of religion which should never be. Una? Umhhmm. It’s someone that doesn’t know that thinks it’s harmless.
Eyah, Sorry for your family troubles.
The Jws and their families I know can't relate to the above write up. They enjoy peaceful family lives because they apply Bible's advice on family happiness.

I hope JW rethinks the transfusion issue. There is no excuse at all for not trying to fight for the lives of your loved ones. It is so babaric to have a well known cure used for centuries and claim it to be unsafe. Op, millions of people have been saved by blood transfusion.

If transfusion is wrong and JW put their faith of healing with God, why bother to even take paracetamol when you have headaches? Why bother to treat other ailments at all? The blood is passed into the body, you're not drinking it. You do not get high from it, it saves your life so why?

I believe in the One God but religion should be followed with common sense. Know your God before you worship Him. If it doesn't sound, feel, smell, talk and look like Him, then it is of man. Believe it or not, man is far from perfect, very infallible, sometimes deliberate and sometimes not. Have mercy on your kind and save their lives. Blood transfusion has saved lives and people have lived their lives to the fullest like they never even required one before by the time they recover.

jeff1993:
I remember when I was in Ss3 ... I had this beautiful class mate of mine called Uchechi ...she was a very funny and lively girl and she was a Witness.

One fateful day she had an accident on her way to write NECO exam .... She lost a lot of blood and was the hospital requested for blood transfusion but the parents refused ... Everyday we went to the hospital we literally watched our classmate tether on the brink of death just because of a stupid manmade ideology.

Our principal had to involve social service authorities from the local govt and when they intervened, they took over the case and called the senior brother who was in another state to come and donate blood since the parents were adamant.

That was how Uchechi's life was saved but the unity of their family was never saved because she quitted the church when she went to Uni and her parents kind of partially disowned her.

Well Written. But just a quick question. Don't you think it would be wise to deny and disown Jesus Christ when caught in the net of BokoHaram or other Anti God terrorists? Well that's what it seems you are saying.

1.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven.
Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth.

.
Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe.
.
2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell.
.
Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.'
.
3.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.
.
4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues.
.
Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind.

.
5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die.
.
Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world?
.
Have more questions? Visit www.jw.org or simply ask them here constructively.

OP how do you answer this? :

Christ told his disciples in Acts. 1:8, : But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ” Acts 1:8 NIV
Now instead of witnessing to Christ, you people claim to be witnessing to Jehovah. Are you people Christian, or some other sect apart from Christians?

When I get to the bridge of marriage and she can't marry me cos she is a jehovah witness, then I'll find another love, there are so many girls on earth. One thing is that I can't believe in the shit jehovah witness teach, I engage her in arguments and she can't even defend what she believes in. I love her, that is what matters, if she can't compromise when the time comes for our love, then I'll gladly leave. Hia! Is that so hard?

Let her know now so you can move on with your life. It's as simple as that.

You should have joined, married her and changed to your preferred denomination, its so easy na. Its unbiblical to divorce so she can't divorce you.
