They do not follow Jesus Christ but they follow the Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

But Una no dey follow Jesus nah, no be Jehovah Una dey witness to.

I remember when u were arguing blindly that man spirit returns to Jehovah after death. Using it to prove that Man spirit is a force. Even quoting scripture u dnt understand.


Acts 7:59 As they were stoning Stephen, he made this appeal: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”


Now if your correct, ansa this

Why is Stephen asking Jesus to receive his spirit not Jehovah?

Where God, our maker says the dead would be. Genesis 3:19.
.

Notice, I am using Ur own NWT. Most of u r zombies, u dnt read Ur bible. U just accept why Ur governing body tells u, without searching for the truth.

Now read what Paul says here

Philippians 1:
21 For in my case, to live is Christ+ and to die is gain.+ 22 Now if I am to live on in the flesh, this is a fruitage of my work; yet what I would choose, I do not make known. 23 I am torn between these two things, for I do desire the releasing and the being with Christ,+ which is, to be sure, far better.+ 24 However, it is more necessary for me to remain in the flesh for your sakes.

Look at the verse of interest @bolded. Notice paul says he prefers the releasing (referring to death) and being with Christ not dying and staying In the grave?

Y does he expect to be with Christ after death instead of staying in the grave as u preach?

Another example

Acts 7:59 As they were stoning Stephen, he made this appeal: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”

Analyze this as well. If Stephen place is the grave , why is he asking Jesus to receive his spirit. If he doesn't expect to be conscious with Jesus in heaven?


Let me leave u with these two for now. Dnt forget to turn in your answer

Bros, John 20:28, Thomas NEVER called Jesus our God. RECEIVE SENSE.
John 20 v19-25, Thomas disbelieved Jesus resurrection.
John 20:26-28, Thomas exclamatory surprise shows his acceptance of Jesus resurrection.
John20:29 Jesus says happy are those who have not seen his resurrection,yet believe."

John 20:17. Revelations 3:5,11,12,21.
Jesus says himself is NOT God in heaven.

Bros,Jesus Christ WIPES OUT DUBIOUS Trinitarian attachment to John 20:28.
Greek Theos (God) is a title for man, Jesus,Yahweh and angels. That's no PROOF of Trinity
You rejected Jesus statements & put Thomas exclamatory claim as your doctrine. Nawa ooo grin

Check am well, John 20:28, an exclamation mark dey there.
We know your master is not Jesus Christ.
You simply pay lip service to Jesus. grin

In your hypocrisy, you will do anything to distort the truth. Nobody needs sense that a stupid idiot like you.

grin keep dreaming Uncle, Remember, you are quoting one of Jehovah's Witnesses,not the churchgoers you know, Who you can sway to the left and to the right, while engaging in blind conversations. We don't waste our time striking the air while aiming blows, neither do we give treasured things to those who will not appreciate it.
The obvious question you asked has been answered by another JW, what have you done with it. Nothing
So stop wasting your time looking for a convenient JW catch. You will fail woefully.
When it comes to preaching, teaching and defending Bible truths, JWs fear no human especially faceless dots on our device screen.

There's no need to be aggressive. Your believes are been scrutinized and juxtaposed with biblical truth and this is all you can muster.

So far I have not failed yet, because no one has been able to answer my questions. Not even the lousy @Janosky.

Janosky said Jesus is Mighty God not Almighty. Jehovah is Almighty so Almighty is higher than Mighty.

So I took him to Jeremiah, where Jehovah is called a Mighty God and asked him y Jehovah is called a Mighty God. Till now no answer!

Maybe u can help him. This is a serious dent on your beliefs o

BENARI:


[s]Say what you know my friend, not what you don't. I thought you'd ask me to prove every single accusations I made here against the organisation. If you ask, I'll provide more than enough. But let me warn you, if you examine the evidence, you'll forever be freed from the constant guilt you feel as a witness.
Talking about open mind, I wonder how Jws always encourage others to be open minded, when they themselves will not even peep through the curtains of thier Minds. You ask people to come to your kingdom halls, but will never set foot at the door of another church. You ask people to question thier own faith and doctrine, when you accept any thing thrown at you by the governing body without question, even when, according to them, it does not make sense to you; talk about double standard. If you're willing to be open minded, I dare you to visit the internet and read about the organisation. For a start, visit www.jwfacts.com. If you visit that site, I swear to God I'll follow to become one of Jw. If you refuse to check out that site and others that examines the believes and doctrines of the Jw, it will only mean that you're not confident of what you believe, and you're in darkness. Remember darkness fears light.

Enough of following in the religion of your birth. Question it, and prove to yourself that this indeed is the Truth.

If you can help people question thier beliefs, you shouldn't be afraid to do same yourself. But the Truth is, the governing body will tell you not to read from outside sources because they know you'll find out the Truth about thier so-called Truth. And you'd foolishly do as they tell you, because you think they speak for Jehovah. Yet Jeffery Jackson at the Australian Royal commission enquiry about Jehovah's witnesses handling of Child abuse cases denied under oath that they are the only true source through which God speaks. Yet they tell thier gullible followers that they are the only source, and they foolishly accept without question. Check it out, it's on the internet. Australian Royal commission enquiry about the Jws handling of Child abuse cases. It's a video, not here Say. No honest individual has remained in the autocratic organisation after watching that video.

I dare you to examine your organisation. I'll provide with any support you might require. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father, except through me. It didn't say through the governing body or a faithful and discreet slave. Read your Bible again. Read Mathew 25 to 27 and you would see that the faithful and discreet slave Jesus talked about means completely different things from what the governing body is teaching Jws. Read that scripture on your own without the watchtower magazine. You can try reading that account from various translations. May God punish me if I'm trying to lead you astray and not to open your eyes to the strangle hold of the governing body.

I'm available anytime to discuss and prove any thing I put out here. But I expect you'll panic and run like most Jws do when confronted with facts about thier religion. Free yourself from cognitive dissonance. You're a member of a religious cult[/s]

I do not read replies that begin with insults and demeaning words. I'm not your child. When you are ready to speak maturedly, i will read and reply as i've been replying everyone else

And this is the kind of products they churn out. For heaven's sake, what or where is the insult in the beginning of my response to your lazy invitation for me to come to kingdom hall instead of responding to questions here and make your light shine like Jws always like to brag.
Come to kingdom hall and do what? And sit like a donkey and allow some 8 men from warwick in USA to tell me what is biblical and what is not, and expect unquestioning loyalty from me? God forbid, I'll be loyal to no organisation or group of men but God and Christ.

no 5 is what bothers me a lot, it's the main reason why I will NEVER be a jehovah witness

I understand that you as adult may make the decision that you are not a part of this world

a child cannot make that decision! every child deserves to live till the age of 18 where they can decide whether or not to take blood

bloodless alternative is too expensive and virtually inaccessible

Well, Blood alternatives are accessible everywhere. Sound doctors even prefer it because It is not as risky as taking blood. I knew about this when my first child was very sickly. I had this Paediatrician who took care of my girl. She was close to our family. She used to tell us how she met witnesses in hospitals rejecting blood and discharging themselves to seek medical help somewhere. They have a worldwide medical committee who have acess to all hospitals world wide so they can collaborate with doctors in treating their people.

She wondered about the whole thing and decided to learn bloodless medicine under a renowned hospital Lagos. The hospital is the only one in Nigeria that carries out surgery without blood.

She paid millions to learn. Funny enough, when she got back to her hospital (A general hospital) , for years she did not come across witnesses to use her newfound knowledge .
She had to study the medicine and process and diverted it to life saving use.

She was the first doctor to design a method of saving premature babies using the process.

Many premature babies are refered to this general hospital because of their new profile of saving premature babies. You will hear doctors tell patients that "your baby survival rate is 100 percent of you can get to this hospital asap".


This is an illustration to show that the Witnesses might not take blood but they have access to risk free and better blood alternatives that work.


There are so many blood transfusion cases that go wrong.
Contacting Aids and other diseases after taking blood. Some even die After such.

May God continue to guide us to make right decisions.

They are just arguing like kids! Luke 7:31-32

When Jesus was preaching and teaching, was there a time he taught people that they must be obedient to the Apostles (12 members he selected separately)?

So how come all the Christians in the first century started following the teachings of the Apostles? Act 2:42

Why is it that first century Christians must report everything to the Apostles? {Act 15:2, 16:4} Even all the congregations in all places must carefully read and follow what the Apostles decided upon {Act 15:23} and it must become the standard in all the congregations back then! Act 15:28-29

Well that's the reason they're all disorganized, each person wants to choose the standard that soothes his liken yet they want to continue calling upon the same name! Matthew 7:21-23

There is no other excuse they could lodge for their disorderliness, lawlessness and contradictions that's why they're all speaking in one voice against the concept ORGANIZATION, of course there can never be a well organized group without a GOVERNING BODY!

All what their Papas, Mamas, Daddy and Mommy GOs wanted from them is their money, members may follow racists to kill fellow members their leaders are less concerned. Unlike Jehovah's Witnesses who are like a global family! Micah 4:1-3

I wonder how they expect Jesus' prayer to be answered if his followers are not well ORGANIZED! John 17:20-23 smiley

Sure. Back in my youth service days, I had a corps member friend in the corners lodge. We are both Igbo, and we served in Akwa Ibom State
Now this friend of mine was highly spiritual, and attuned to God but she disliked Ibibios very passionately. One morning, I was woken by a female voice shouting rather animatedly in Ibibio. I assumed some of the indigenes were having a brawl, but it soon occurred to me it was only one voice speaking. I got up to investigate, and found my friend speaking ibibio very loudly on the porch. Other corps members were watching. At the end of it, when we told her she had been speaking Ibibio, she was mad at us and claimed she was not, that she was just praying. She obviously had no idea what she did. The indigenes around us however got the message.
Wow. What you narrated could be a mental disorder. How do I know? Because it's not what Speaking In Tongues entails. First Century Christians used the gift to preach God's Kingdom.
