Jehovah witness do not believe in Hell Fire yet they are the most peaceful people on earth. They don't fight war, they don't do politics neither do they vote, they don't carry guns. You can not find a witness in a worldly seen. While those who believe in HELL FIRE are killing daily with guns, doing all sort of evil to make money. Though they are not perfect! But I score them 95% when it comes to moral behaviour.

Hate them, love them they speak truth to religion, they don't deviate from biblical facts, most of their end time message are what we see happening yearly while other churches preaches prosperity with ears twikling, fake miracle.. They teach their children from infancy.

Prove me wrong: They are the most united in the world. No racism and they love themselves. They have passed through more pesecution than any other religion on earth. They refused to fight in the 2nd World War despite the pressure, World powers was not able to stop them from progressing. They have educated people more compared to other religion through Awake and Watchtower etc.
I'm ready to prove it. I liken them to the Noah of our generation because majority failed to believe them despite all evidence provided in the Bible.

The only Question I have is,

Is it written in your Bible that One should not do a blood transfusion.?

I know your answer will be like, ' Where is written that one should do it'

Is God against Blood transfusion? I am only asking to know more.
If my parents were to be JW that means I won’t be alive till today. My dad has donated blood on two different occasions when I was standing face to face with death because I was low on blood. A lot of people will die because of religion and when they get to heavens gate, they will be told that they weren’t expected....I blame the white men that brought Christianity to Africa in a different slate.

Jehovah witness is just a controversial religion and they teach their followers to be very controversial human beings.
My Dad is a Jehovah's witness and my mum is not. I grew up with my Mum. My Dad refused to attend my wedding because according to him it's against his believe since I did not marry a witness and he is supposed to dissociate himsef from me and disown me because according to him their bible teaches them not to mix with unbelievers��� I no kuku send cos I grew up without him so nothing to miss but at least I honoured him by doing my traditional marriage in His village. Today my Dad depends on me to survive knowing fully well am not a witness. If I was the one not doing well and he is still very rich, he would have disowned me obviously. So as far as am concerned Jehovah Witness people are controversial people who only practice the part of their religion that is convenient for them.

Modified:
Controversial people everywhere. People who divorce n remarry themselves and drink alcohol like it's going out of fashion. Any religion that forbids u from mixing up with others are extremists as far as am concerned and that is because they are afraid u will hear the truth by going to another church for a function hence you are forbidden.

Did it fall on the them like in the apostles' case or did they learn it? Do they speak all these languages to preach through the help of the Holy Spirit or through the help of learning apps? Because if you claim that christians now speak meaningless words (won't comment on that statement of yours) and that the valid tongue is other people's languages, then you must be able to acknowledge that this gift of speaking other people's languages was imparted by the Holy Spirit in the days of pentecost, which differentiate them from the unbeliever that can fluently speak 12 different languages.

did the Bible not tell it is better to remain silent instead speaking in tongues that no one in your audience understand? no one can interpret.

since no one can really speak many tongues with the help of the holy Spirit, is it not clear to you that it has actually ended?


speaking in tongues already served it purpose in the days of the apostles. now you can learn any language you need if you are interested in preaching to any particular land

No blood transfusion. So if I am shot on the roadside and some good fellows rushed me into a nearby health facility. I'll explain to the doctor that I need no blood transfusion and will rather die than accept blood from a donor grin

Even as a Catholic no be every Catholic doctrine I dey swallow. I do religion with my common sense wink

Religion is man made dogma, and that's exactly what we (Nigerians/Africans) practice instead of Christianity (laid down examples by Jesus Christ).

Untill we learn to separate dogma (man made pattern of worship aimed at exploiting people) from Christianity, we'd keep chasing shadows and springing up various business ventures (churches) in the name of Christianity

And Uchechi's parents are secretly happy that their daughter didn't die.
Dont mind them.I recently watched a film "The child act"Na so the boys parents refused blood transfusion to be carried out on thier son who has leukemia and at the verge of dying .The hospital had to take the parents to court and won the case .This same yeye parents were the first to demand that the boy follows them for thier study. Omo na so the boy say he nor be JW again.That his parent were ready to watch him die but are happy to see him live becos of the blood transfusion.

JW are also Hypocrite .One of my uncle who is a dedicated JW almost molested me as a young teenager back in the 90s .if not that I shouted that I will tell my mum he would have continued .
There have been series of child molestation going on among them and even charge have been brought before thier elders but they have a way of covering it up . So that it will not come to the open.

That's how one JW neighbor of mine, almost fought me, because I said we must donate blood to her, if she needed it, mumu said we should let her die instead.

Jehovah witness are sincere but sincerely wrong, they are following human devised fables and creed not God's words. They are trained to defend their cult with indoctrination, nothing you show them on the bible seems right.
I have experience and dealing with a highly placed individual in the organization. Many of them that have seen the light are departing the cult and the die hard brainwashed ones are still dancing and dining with the devil unknowingly.
Stay away from this man made cunningly devised fables religious sect you will lose your self.


At matthew 20:23 Jesus was asked to give James and John a lofty position heaven, but he answered that it does not belong to him to do so but his father who at that time was in Heaven. So be sincere to Yourself, was Jesus a materialized God?

Oh, Christ worshipers! We want an answer to our question from your wise. If the Lord was murdered by some people’s act…what sort of god is this? We wonder! Was He pleased by what they did to Him? If yes, blessed be they..they achieved the pleasure of His But if He was discontented….this means their power subjugated His!! Was the whole entity left without a Sustainer… so who answered the prayers? Were the heavens vacated…when He laid under the ground somewheres? Were all the worlds left without a God…to manage while His hands were nailed? Why did not the angles help Him when they heard him while he wailed? How could the rods stand to bear the True Lord when He was fastened How could the iron reach Him and His body pinioned? How could His enemies’ hands reach Him and slap His rear And was Christ revived by himself…or the Reviver was another god? What a sight it is!A grave that enclosed a god! What’s more weird is the belly that had Him in it! He stayed there for nine months in utter darkness…fed by blood! Then he got out of the womb as a small baby, weak and gaping to be breastfed! He ate and drank, and did what that naturally resulted in Is this a god??!! High Exalted be Allah above the lies of Christians All of them will be held accountable for their libels Oh cross worshipers…for what reason is it exalted and blamed who rejects it? Is it not the logic to break and burn it along with the one who innovated it? Since the Lord was crucified on it…and his hands were fastened to it? That is really a cursed cross to carry…so discard it Don’t kiss it! The Lord was abused on it…and you adore it? So you are one of His enemies!! If you extol it because it carried the Lord of the worlds why don’t you prostrate yourself and worship graves, since the grave contained your god in it? So, Christ worshiper, open your eyes, this is what the matter is all about.
it's because God was never created and can never be destroyed. His birth and death were just portals of transforming from one form to another. I mean you are made in his image, so even you yourself can't die. Your body is dust, so it will only be alive until you separate from it. And perhaps unlike science you cant fit the ways of God into your brains like that of specimen in test tubes. He said his presence signifies salvation and his death signifies mercy, don't bother understanding, it would have been herculean for people of old to understand the earth is round not flat you know. Just believe as see how God unravels the whole mystery to you with time. Pahaps look around you and see the beauty that emanates from those that serve God in spirit and in truth even if they got little. I don't think that's void of mercy you know.

Oga Jesus is not God. She is only trying to persuade you because you can't marry her unless you are a JW. If she does, she will be defellowshiped (if that's the right term).
The thing is, draw closer to their teachings and I bet you won't regret it. To me, Christianity is about emulating the lifestyle of Chirst and if anything comes closest to it today, it is their lifestyle.

Jesus is no God but according to the NWT



Isaiah 9:6 - New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures(Jehovah Witness Bible)

Isaiah 9:6
For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Jesus is not God yet Ur translation calls him God in Isaiah.... Confused set of people

grin well I don't judge anyone belief, God alone is the judge but I strongly disagree with most of thier beliefs, this is why Jesus said u shall know the truth and it will set u free, Jesus could not have used the parable of Lazarus and the rich man in hell fire if hell fire is not real, anyone that know Jesus is the only one who will understand that Jesus does not joke with words, all his parable is based on reality either of things we could see or the things we can't see... I won't allow a white man whom Satan had decieved to make me believe that sinful souls won't end up in hell... Just imagine if u die only to realized u were decieved... Jesus is the truth and life forever




I love your perspective of this matter, but have you consider certain things? How do I mean?

First it was a parable or illustration indeed! But If you check the context of that Luke 16, you will discover the reason Jesus had to give that illustration - the pharisees have long been exalted, and the common people were overlooked spiritually. Hence the need for the table to turn.

Yes, that was a time when the common people were to be fed spiritually by Jesus christ himself and his disciples, common people whom the pharisees have neglected for ages.

Now back to the subject matter. Do you also know that the scene Jesus illustrated was not a reality but an illustration. Reason being that, as at that time Abraham whose side Luke 16vs22 mentioned that the beggar was carried to was long dead in the grave, Abraham was no longer alive. In fact the scriptures make it clear that no one in the grave or shell or hell can speak, including Abraham (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10).

And whenever the Bible uses the word hell, it connotes the same thing as sheol, hades or common grave.

I realized all these from personal study of the Bible and the help I received.

before the coming of Christ when the Israelites sin, they have a way of crying to God to forgive their sin

your assertion that Adam n Eve are sinners is not true cos neither u or anyone can prove dat dey we're sinners before dey died.

the original sinners like u called Dem were punished for their sins so dey can't go to hell again, we should try to get fact before saying dem


your quotation of y JW don't speak in tongues is also not in line anywhere in d Bible, in d new testament, d disciples spoke in tongues like different language after d Holy spirit descended on Dem. speaking in Tongues is not in any way related to preaching and no where in d Bible was it used for preaching
