Correction.
Muslims don't bow to prophet Mohammad (SAW). We bow down to the creator of Jesus (AS), Mohammad (SAW) and the universe in entirety.

You bow to Allah that's cage inside a cubic box in Kaaba

They are not Christians oga.

The basis of being a Christian is believing in Jesus as the son of God and Messiah.
Sorry to disappoint you, we believe Jesus is the son of God and foretold Messiah. We don't believe Jesus is equal to God or is God. Sorry.

I came to this thread to read comments....
I noticed on Christain comments you hardly find muslims attacking and engaging Christians...rather Christians engage themselves...
And Christians always complain they have to swear one stupid oath to comment on muslims thread....
I have always said this, muslims no matter what you say about them on aspect like this tolerate Christians more that how Christians do...
Even on this post you still found a way to talk about muslims....you guys are obsessed with them...
There is nothing like hard core Christian... Worship your God as if you see him...
What worths doing, is worth doing well...
One isn't suppose to be lose in his religion...
A word is enough for the wise

No you got it wrong. From observation, Christianity is open to scrutiny and tolerant.
On the other hand, Islam is like a cult. It doesn't want to be fact-found and rigid. It's only a cult that defends their dogmas with knife and guns and won't be open to rational discuss.

And FYI, there are many religions out there, not many are as open-minded as Christianity, so no need of a comparison.

My girlfriend and I broke up on a good understanding in 2014 because she's a JW and we tried if it could work but before things get serious we had to end it.
You were in a Sexual relationship with a JW girl?
Was she a witness B4 or after you met her?

Jehovah's Witnesses do and believe what their religious leaders tell them to do. It doesn't have to be what the bible says, as history of their religion has proven many times.

For Jehovah's Witnesses to marry or not to marry a fellow Christian (not denomination) is solely based on what their currently belief as set forth by their religious hierarchy. They can claim from now till tomorrow that it's the bible blablabla. But when all is done and dusted, it's based on the current edict of their religious leaders. If the leader changes their mind, 8m people also changes their mind.

In the months leading to my awakening from the group, an elder in one of the congregations I attended said to members that when they are preaching to outsiders, they have to preach what is there in the bible, then enforces the point by saying, not just what they see in the bible but it has to harmonise with what the religion (they call it organisation) teaches.

This indoctrination crystallises their mind. That is why if you are talking with one of them, and what he is saying clearly contradicts what the bible says, its like a veil covers his eyes from seeing it. He will argue, jumped from one point to another so as not to see what is clearly stated there in. But to know his mindset, just ask him what he will do if his religion start teaching the same thing in the future, that's when you will realise the truth. That these people are men's followers. They are idolaters.

didn't know they have people the view as leaders.

please can you tell us the name of their leaders so we know @rottennaija

I agree with your post. I was born into the religion. I know if my parents were Catholics, I would have been born into a Catholic household. However, as you may have realize, some religion or denomination are more extreme than others and you only get to see such extremes when you want to leave.


Bros just get this straight, no religion is better than the other.

Just do your own and let others do their own. Stop calling JW idol worshippers.

it brings happiness and we can avoid marry problems as pre-marital sex, unwanted pregnancies, and STDs.

Op, stop deceiving yourself. Are you not being hypocritical here? I know so many witnesses that engage in premarital sex a lot.
chatinent:
Of course, Christians who want to marry are commanded to choose only a fellow believer. ( 1 Corinthians 7:​39) Jehovah’s Witnesses view this command as referring not merely to a person who respects our beliefs but to one who shares and practices those beliefs as a baptized Witness. ( 2 Corinthians 6:​14) God has always directed his worshippers to marry only those of the same faith. ( Genesis 24:3; Malachi 2:​11) This command is also practical, as modern researchers have found.
.
I know some will reprove me saying 'we are all Christians.'
Think: If you marry, will you appreciate if she didn't come to your church? Will it end in happiness? Would you share her beliefs? Even greatly, it will be disobedience to our God. We appreciate marrying people who share our beliefs; it brings happiness and we can avoid marry problems as pre-marital sex, unwanted pregnancies, and STDs.
.
Next time when you say 'we are all Christians,' do well to be open-minded to ask yourself if your beliefs are the same with ours.

Gracias.

Lolzzz... Check around your locality again or visit a clinic where abortion is perform, see for yourself the number of christaindom members that patronize them daily and see if you will find a JW on the list...

We have God view regarding abortion, that says it's murder according to the Bible, but you guys in christaindom even legalized it. Or don't you know? Your church has committed murder far more than the Boko-Haram terrorist. Currently as I'm typing, we have more than a thousand from christaindom taking pills to kill the sacred creature in their womb. Guess what, it's legal and your elite isn't discouraging it. But try it in Jehovah's organization and see if you wouldn't be flush out among them.

Just want you to know, we're are below 50 in my local congregation, but I've seen some of our young women that are above the age of 26years that got married as a virgin, especially those that were born in the organization. Can your church of more than perhaps a thousand boast of that?

Hello Janosky. Please don't mind my questions, I am a naturally inquisitive person and I love learning new things.

I went to John 5: 28-29 like you recommended (see image below).

Now my question from what I pasted below: the condemned where will they go to? Since you don't believe in hell fire?

They don't.

A few (mostly in Nigeria) contravene this and they are dealt with by shunning.

Shunning means that nobody interacts with you at the Kingdom Hall and you seat at the back in a separate corner.

I have seen it live at a Kingdom Hall. Refusal of the spouse to become a JW might even result in outright excommunication.

Note that those who became JW after they married are exempted

They are not shunned. Stop lying

Op! Jesus was more reasonable than what you posted yet he was impaled. You are logical in your writeup and gave good reasons why JW don't marry from other set and some people here refused to think deep about those scriptures you quoted.

If you are talking about education, I don't think any religion can equate with JW. Either you like it or not...all they have been preaching is here..over 30years ago the witnesses taught me what the end of the world will be like...which is silent in other churches, they don't preach breakthrough, No tight, they are not among those that put the world in this mess we are in today, they are not politicians that embezzled your country money, they are contented and do not participate in war. They follow only what they found good in the bible.

For those pointing fingers on leadership of JW, Can you point one JW that is a Governor, President, LGA Chairman, Councillor, Minister, Senator or rep? If you cant ....then ask yourself why has these people sacrificed all their earthly gains for Christ sake.

Your Pains is that they are speaking the truth and they are not part of the world yet they are in the World.

For those saying JW do commits sin with other religion or you saw them doing juju.
Please tell me more about imperfection! Remember we all are Sinners and we only try to practice righteousness.

JW are the only religion that disfellowship members publicly, reprove or suspend offenders. If the late Micheal Jackson was to be a member of your church your current religion will condone his excesses... Yet JW Disfellowship him after releasing THRILLER.
If I really want to worship God whole heartedly I will Be a JW.
