whenever I visit camp. I listen to the various testimonies that pastor adeboye uses to showcase the power of God. but nowadays am beginning to doubt some of the stories he says and all the times, he never give specifics about who it happened to. he always says there is a son or daughter of mine who so so and so happened to and God did this and that. no specific about the person involved or witnesses, last night during the Congress was the height of it.
I am having some serious doubts of these stories or testimonies.
well what do I know? am just a sheeple.

lolz they seem unique to themselves , they never err

I appreciate your comment. Just a reminder, my article is about 'tolerance'.
I do not believe any Jehovah's Witness has ever referred to your bill as unclean. We do not use the word donation, but a contribution.
Well, no one asked wives to stop talking to their husbands because they are disfellowshipped. Even in the Bible, there is a provision for unbelieving mates. The Bible has principles and we cannot bend them to please anyone or accommodate popular beliefs. Jesus said that his sheep will hear his voice and here we are. In all you are saying, you are a puritan and your opinion is what really matters to Christians. You did not even back up your thought using the Bible. We do not follow dictates of men but the word of God.
Wow! Astonishingly you have been far and wide and no disrespect to your achievements but I wasn't talking about countries. I told you about my family's multi-religious background to explain the views from in and out. What church do you represent?
'Worship' makes the difference. Would you expect Jesus to join the Pharisees in prayer when he himself condemned the public display that they called prayer? No! We do not keep enmity with others or pre-judge. We try to see the good in others. You should also ask when we go out to preach to them if we isolate. No! We do not care what and who people are but we are interested in sharing the message about Jehovah and his son, Jesus to all sorts of men.
Oh, nice! It is good that you shared that statement you heard and the reality of your experience. There are many professionals who are JW working in diverse sectors and fields. Nevertheless, what we watch out for is the pursuits of riches and the mundane things of the world and losing out on the real prize. We are all encouraged to maintain a balance so as not to make a lean that might suppress our love and zeal in the service of Jehovah. In the Bible, Timothy actually left behind the opportunity to school in the highly esteemed Athens for the sake of preaching the good news and he was a great assistance to apostle Paul. Would it be a crime for one to leave behind the opportunity to pursue things of this world for the sake of pursuing a full-time goal in the service of God? Moses also left all the glory in Egypt to play a vital role in the deliverance of God's people. No one is forced to quit school, but we are admonished to pay more than the usual attention to spiritual matters because Matthew 6:33 exhorts us to seek first God's kingdom. At the end of the day, what is the use of the certificates? It becomes trash when one is old or incapacitated. But he who does the will of God remains forever.
Are there no other boys in town? This same boy keeps dying in all anti-jw comments on Nairaland. Everyone kills the same boy online every time they talk about JW and blood transfusion.
I really doubt if you are in the medical field. No certified health practitioner would utter such remark and end it with "hahahahahah". Do you know that you are culpable for this comment? Have you ever heard of the "Patient Rights"? It is taught in medical schools.
How did antibiotics become blood? Can you share the name of this hospital?
Religion can also be explained as a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion. Money, music, career, science etc. No matter what one says, there is something that he puts his faith and time in and that is his religion. If you broaden your perception, you will come to understand that millions all around the world grope in banality because they ignore the basic counsels written in the Bible. The Bible best describes it as a chase after the wind. It will always get to that final moment for everyone.

cstr1000:

That is a very terrible advise.

You Do not forgive a cheating wife. That is a cardinal law.
It takes a lot for a wife to cheat, and when she does, it means she has crossed a rubicon- a point of no return.
She has no respect, love or fear for him, and it will take a miracle for it to be restored. Romance cannot restore it. It is an inbuilt something that is introduced from courtship into marriage and when lost, cannot be regained.

If you decide to forgive, then it should be with a realization that it can happen again and you just want the marriage to continue irregardless.

Why you no face your mechanic work? You have tried to be a custom/clearing agent here, now you don enter car sales! Telling people how an engine should look like as if a seller will allow them to open the engine.
Stay on your lane, any car buyer that needs your service for inspection will contact you. Stop writing some impossible stuffs here bro.

RICHDOTCOM: I liked the articulated way you raised your points and replies. One thing is missing, You have not studied islam. You dont know anything about islam. I see that as worrisome. Most people especially in Nigeria know Islam from what people say and not based on objective research. Yes, i agree with you absolutely that some of Vanessa's points is based on yardsticks that in some cases might not necessarily be the yardstick to follow and i am saying this as a muslim. I will advice you to research Islam yourself, understand why it is the fastest growing religion in the world today, understand why it is practiced by the number of adherents that practice it, pay attention to what notable people say about it, people like Mohammed Ali, one of the greatest and most popular athlete ever and why all he wanted, i repeat all he wanted was to die a muslim and so many others. It will lead you to at the very least understand Islam from an unbiased practical understanding. You will also learn and appreciate the fact that for the most part, those converting to islam has one thing peculiar, they are knowledgeable and they know what they are doing. Its mostly not based on getting prayers answered, solving economic hardship etc, that is why Islam is growing in the western world rapidly.

Fekwa:


No, the war history of the Jews or the Muslims wasn't a case of fighting to protect, they were a case of deliberate conquest to dominate and control. You had people living their lands to wage war against isolated nations in order to conquer on the basis of an instruction from their deity. And history is replete with various instances of this kind of atrocity, both from the camp of Islam and that of Judaism.

My reasoning isn't biased in anyway. I'm just baffled by the fact that the worst religions in terms of their history of barbarity and mayhem seem to have the most followers and no one even bats an eye.



Again, like I said before, this wasn't a case of defence, it was a case of deliberate conquest. I don't see how this isn't obvious. And to answer your question, these deities claimed to be creators of the entire human race, but yet they picked sides in their revelation and their supposed protection. Allah or Yahweh based on their claims were the fathers or every human, not just a particular group, so what kind of father picks sides during wars and protects some of his children at the expense of others? What kind of father systematically divides his children into waring factions and instructs one to annihilate the other?




Of course every religion has its good teaching, but my point is that most people tend to ignore the slew of bad and violent histories specific to these religions. And since you like thought experiments, let me present one: If you were looking for a school to enroll your kid in and you had to choose between two schools; both schools were good schools. They had good teachers and they thought moral lessons. But one of the school had a very bad history. A history that included atrocities too bad to mention. Which school would you choose? Would you be wise to choose the school with the bad history?
Would you ignore it's history upon which it was founded.




I eat meat because I require the nutrients which the meat provides. The Israelites weren't offering dead meat to their deity because he also needed to eat them for nutritional benefits. No. Their deity required those sacrifices for the same reasons Dibias and Babalawos require sacrifices for their own deities. I am someone who loves knowledge and I have conversed with wiccans, highly spiritual folks and people who are close to shamans about the relevance of blood sacrifices and they all say the same thing - these sacrifices are used to appease beings in other lower dimensions because these beings feast on the essence of the animal that has been sacrificed. They also say that this quality is typical of dark/evil entities.

confirm. Thumbs up man

Topgainer:

He has raised no point of law. Abraham was recorded to have paid tithe once and it was not from his salary. The Jewish tithe law was paid with crops although there was money at the time. The grace period which he has just juggled the meaning didn't make any laws on tithing as matter of fact, no record of any early Church taking peoples' 10% of salary as tithe. No word on justifications by that.

hopefulLandlord:


I can see my message flew over your head

Scenario 1: A Muslim dumps Islam and becomes a Christian

Muslims then say: He's never a Muslim, just a mosque goer

Christians would say: He's seen the light

Scenario 2: A Christian dumps Christianity and becomes a Muslim

Christian then say: he was never a Christian, just a church goer

Muslims would say: he's seen the light

The bullsheet is very obvious to an observer

The no true Scotsman fallacy makes no sense

Mind you, I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with either of them, just that it reeks of insincerity

Go to http://clergyproject.org read the stories of the members then look them straight in the eye and say that they were never a Christian or they were never a Muslim

analice107:

Pls ignore him completely.

hopefulLandlord:


more like bullsheet words

its funny how both Muslims and Christians pull the no true Scotsman fallacy all the time

it always sound cool cuz its what you want to hear but scratch the surface and it makes no sense!

analice107:

I know dear. What i mean is, whatever will present itself in the place of Christ in my life, i walk away.

In her case, marriage took her away from Christ, that's if she ever even knew Him.
You can never love Christ and fall out of love with Him again.
