AududuNine11: Tochj: AududuNine11:What is your problem with should a believer decide to join any protest, demonstrate or carry placards? You deserve whatsoever "rancour and clamouring", you get. Did you believe you'll raise your head above the parapet trivialising believers actions and decisions to join peaceful non violent protest, demonstrations or carry placards and expect not to get shot at. If you've never written or implied that "evil should not be spoken against of", then what do think peaceful non violent protest, demonstrations or carry placards are doing? Is it being silent, folding arms, sitting on hands, not pulling fingers out to do nothing ni, erhn? ọ oj The major problem is yourself, your problem stems from you sitting on your high horse, with an oversimplified and distorted impression of what protesting means. The Yoruba, will say, "idi pẹlẹbẹ, la nti mu, ọlẹ jẹ", loosely translated means, "food is taken to be eaten from the nearest place to us on the plate" Even Yahshua Ha Mashiach first took care of the welfare of people following Him before dealing with their soul needs and ultimately the work of having their souls saved. You're failing to see how you are trying to demonise the actions and decisions of believers joining/participating in peaceful non violent protest of whatever form (e.g. online petitions, on the streets, social media expressed protest et cetera), demonstrations, carry placards et cetera. |

Minjim:You are trying to correlate two different things here. Jesus protested because of worship not government Sir. As for the government Jesus said whatever they ask you to do do [Matthew 5:41] whatever they choose to do with their government is none of our business! |

Ayinke93: You guys don't know anything! Have you ever heard of a JW having any issue with the police? Even the police respected us more than their own government, just try to report a JW to police and see how they'll be staring at you. That's because they knew that we are the most law abiding citizens who will never go against the orders in any country! |

AkinwaleJJ: You've missed my point. The antagonist if the protest is inconsequential , the important issue is the purpose of the protest. Which is against something wrong/evil. I'm sure you know who Rev Martin Luther King Jnr. is? Another example is the engagement of Christian communities during the anti-extradition bill protests in Hong Kong. Leaders openly supported the cause, and thousands of young church members joined the peaceful protests. Also in the Czech Republic, groups of Christians joined hundreds of thousands in Prague to denounce governmental corruption and fraud. In a predominantly atheist country, believers expressed their shared desire for transparent institutions and clean government. Believers can't just sit down and allow the Govt manipulate the people. Some believers are just building their faith and evil actions of govt can have a major impact on their faith thus distracting them from making heaven. When we protest against evil, I see it as another form of evangelism because all it takes for evil to succeed us for good men to do nothing. |

Minjim: That's why the real evangelism Jesus taught his followers has a topic God's Kingdom! You can't mix worldly protest with peaceful preaching and teaching in your neighbourhood. Whoever have joined in any protest in the past did so out of ignorance so God won't blame them for what they don't know. Jesus never taught us to protest against the authorities in anyway. That's why i told you that Jesus' protest ended in the temple because that's what he came for, to cleanse the spiritual Temple and make it clean. |

esmarcq: Before now if you died in any protest, God will resurrect you because you don't know his stand on this issue. But as from this very moment if you die in a protest, your life is wasted and God will not remember you in your grave because you now know his stand but chose to ignore! |

Alexaonfleek: There are many injustices that most of you have remained silent about, it's when it turns to a big problem that you'll expect JWs to join you in the stupid protest. You people are agitating unnecessarily, the first thing to do is find out where the system is weak, then you can start planning to work on it. The SARS are Nigerians like you and i, so it's the same circumstances that makes you desperate that's worrying them. Let the government pay every citizen the same wage and see if there will be crime in any place! 1 Like |
