Nice.Errm,you trying to prove the founder argument?

Ranchhoddas:
www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/failed-1914-predictions.php

The prediction was SYMBOLIC.

www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teach/1914-significant-year-bible-prophecy/

Deadlytruth:
So biblical citations have 1914 in them? All I see here is damage control. If it were another denomination that made this blunder no rationalization would have been accepted by JWs as such would become their headlines in Awake week after week.

LOL.Chill,bro.
Did you read the article?
You'll understand better if you do.

Anas09:
Lolzz, didn't get them from Paul. So if Paul posts facts that a true we shd ignore?

An article that calls JWs a sect is libellous.

Ranchhoddas:
The witness did not dispute my claim. Are you a witness?

Ayamconfidence is right.

Anas09:
Are facts there true or false?

The site must be vetted first. Paul Grundy and his likes dish out lots of misinformation out there.

Anas09:
I asked you if those challenges are peculiar to just JW and not to evangelicals?

How many evangelicals engage in door-to-door preaching and continue unbowed even when doors get slammed in their faces?

Anas09,what site did you copied your post from?Am just curious because some detractors are hell bent on denting the image of JWs.

Anas09:
And the activities of evangelical Christians are not banned in those same countries? But evangelicals still send people there. They kill us, but we keep going. These are people who are not afraid to die for the gospel.

JW waits in the sidelines for the evangelicals to make converts then they come in and confuse.

Jw hardly have any redemptive mesaage to deliver to a lost sinner, none whatsoever.

I almost was lost into you guys. At the brink of it, God saved me.

Read this:
www.quora.com/what-is-it-like-to-be-a-Jehovahs-Witness-in-a-Muslim-country-For-eg-in-Iraq-or-Iran-or-Saudi-Arabia .

The 3rd paragraph should show you the type of challenges JWs in hostile countries weather,so your assumption that they wait for "evangelicals" to pave the way is unfounded.

Deadlytruth:
For any true believer in Christ only the prophesies recorded in the Bible, whether literal or symbolic can be trusted. As far as this 1914 prophesy is not in the scriptures, then it is based on human knowledge and human wisdom thus invalid and meaningless spiritually.

Check the link for biblical citations.

Deadlytruth:
This does not answer the question.
Neither the disciples in Acts nor the Thessalonians had a wrong expectation as their expectations were both found in the scriptures (Old Testament). What was wrong about their expectations (prophecies in the actual sense) was time of fulfilment. In both cases Jesus and Paul respectively made them understand that their expectations were correct but that were going to happen much later in the future. This is not same with the JWs whose expectation was nowhere to be found in the scriptures but purely man-made and hence failed to happen and never likely to happen in future. That is the context in which the first guy accused you people of being associated with mistakes.

The statement about 1914 was symbolic and not a literal prediction as wrongly believed.

1914 is considered to be the year that marked the begining of the last days;you'll be convinced that it came to pass if you study the timeline of that year.

The most conspicous proof being World War I started on July 24 1914.

Anas09:
Hmmmmmm. My evangelism is second rate, yours is first rate right? How many Islamic countries do u send missions to?
All you wen u go out is arguement, wen u meet Bible based believers, you get thrown off balance and promise to return but never do.

The activities of JWs are banned in some Muslim countries.
You'll find JWs in any country in the world whose citizens are willing to listen to the tru..

Anas09:
Hahahahahahahahahaha. Are u denying your leader now?

He asked you a question.Answer it.

I think you need to understand the hierarchical structure of the Jehovah's Witnesses is different from that of other Christian churches where you have professional pastors,the others,and the G O at the top.

The Organisation was started by a group which Russell was a part of
and played a major role in,but that does not make him the founder.

CosmicWealth:
We dont even bow to God needless to mention bowing to a bleaching human.

There is no problem in being dumb,but don't try to sound reasonable while at it.

Yorubas are taught to respect their peers,elders,monarchs,and The Almighty.
The importance of the bodily postures assumed in the process is known only to an Omoluabi.
That you belong to a culture whose people woun't bow to God is your problem not ours.

Variation is the reason why the Alaafin is fair in complexion;not everyone suffers from the type of low self-esteem that makes you find succour in a case of bleaching cream.

Champion.Respect.

Yh I guess

Have you tried Iyan anaman(pounded sweet potato) and efo wororo(the vegetable looks like an ivy) pelu ogogo(edible mushroom)?

I won't fight you on this thread. Mi ò ní dá yẹyẹ ọmọ Yorùbá silẹ ní bí. But your day of reckoning is coming soon.

Same,@bold.
Just be a good boy next time;or else, you might get more than you bargained for.

lepasharon:
I am yoruba but honestly, yoruba food is not appealing at all

I take it that you grew up in the city and wasn't exposed to lesser known Yoruba delicacies.

Àwọn ọmọ dìgbòlugi má tí wọlu o

Gbe enu e soun,kin ma da bante iya fun e.

That pic of amala and gbegiri reminds me of sec sch.
I feel like tucking into it already.

Amala is the type of food you want to eat a few wraps with plentiful soup and chunks of meat.
Admittedly,a lot of it can leave your tongue feeling clammy,but if you get the wraps to soup ratio right - your palates will never remain the same.

I hope IS is not trying to supplant Boko Haram in the NE.
We don't want those sick demons around;their affiliate is more than enough to deal with.

All of you talking science,just pray you don't get afflicted by ogun jankariwo .
Don't be quick to disprove what science can't explain yet.
These phenomena are not peculiar to Africa alone.
Asians also have some concepts which are difficult to explain with the use of science:acupuncture,chi etc.

I hope we are taking note of the newfangled bravery of these Northerners.
Their recent brazen behaviours are distasteful to say the least.
If they have want to slaughter themselves,they should return to their region to do that.

ginggerxy:
you talk about history when the fact is before our very eye?

If you are hinting at Buhari,just know I am not interested in him or whatever alliance brought him to power.

Before the present, there was the past;the past is what I am talking about.

Only God knows how these people don't get tired of fighting and disturbing public peace.

ginggerxy:
the SW betrayed that trust long ago and now it's so difficult to regain that trust it's not our fault.

Stop regurgitating this stale lie.

FYI:A peep into your history book will leave you disillusioned.

Y'all don't get tired of squabbles over these borrowed religions right?

Nice read.
Stories of his elephantine memory are famous.
Good to see he wasn't a myth.

eitsei:
don't mind the small girl forming grandma.. She should go and ask at home

You and the person you quoted are actually the ignorant ones here.
What was this practice called?
Who abolished it and when?
What facts(credible links,excerpts etc.) do you have to show such a practice existed

Don't bother telling me to ask my elders if you can't make use of consequent reasoning.

daretodiffer:
puskin, naijacutee, FOD, dominique, Consultville

There is a historical inaccuracy in this write-up. It is gravely misleading because there was never a time triplet were an abomination in Yorubaland

I really must commend you for daring to differ.

I was also confused when I read that part of the story since Igbo Ora and by extension the Yorubas have the highest incidence of twin birth in the word.

Mutiple birth have always been celebrated through orikis and sculptures;I have also never heard of any aspect of Yoruba culture that supports the killing of a triplet.

There are some outlying cases of parents who kill one their triplets due to lack of resources to take care of all of them,but this practice is not a part of any known Yoruba tradition.

Revenge ko,revenge ni. See his hungry face.

Ripple effect of the aba women riots.

In a manner of speaking? Yes.
Factually?No.
