I'm a soldier and DEFENCE is for a reason: to preserve, safeguard, protect what we have. if in the process everything is lost then the purpose is lost as well. That's why an adage goes:
"he who fights and run away lives to fight another day"
So if you're fighting and there's no hope for survival then what exactly are you protecting/ preserving or safeguarding?

You may be an idiot, delusional and making a fool of yourself, i will tell you facts that you can't find in any dictionary but in logical and practical reasoning!

Oga there is a reason you have a dictionary. You would be smarter to make use of it. Get serious for once sir.

The world is UNSAFE
Go n listen or read your nonsense

I gave you a chance to learn and improve yourself. You remind me of the words of the Saviour. Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. I gave you knowledge but you prefer your ignorance.

Whitecoal711:
Let the ecosystem be, damaged enough
Environment first,or the flood doesn't affect them
Instead of road why not large farming
Food for the stomach,for the hungry before road

Would the food fly to the market? Oga you need roads from your farm.
You have shown that you know nothing about agriculture.
Farmers in that area would be celebrating the road.
And if you think Agriculture does not damage the ecosystem then you need a biology lesson

MaxInDHouse:
When chatting with atheists claiming believers that's the time you'll know how easy it is with atheists because a sincere atheist will tell you he doesn't believe in the Bible but the dishonest atheist will claim he's a believer yet contradicting what God say.
Just imagine a so called believer arguing that those destroyed in Jericho are better than Rahab who surrendered herself and family to become worshipers of the true God!

Please advise your little brother Aemmyjah to study to show himself approved. I gave him some articles to research for his enlightenment.

MaxInDHouse:
You refer to people coming with the Most High God backing them "Someone" shey?
Well there is a big difference between wisdom and foolishness.

You are still not making any sense. You condemned some wars and accept some wars.
You don't really have a stand against war. You are here and there.
If God is against war he could have given the land of Canaan to Israel without them shedding a single drop of blood.
The bible calls God 'Man of war'. If God is the Man of war then he can't be against war.

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ it's me that will teach your dictionary what the word DEFENCE means.
When Rahab was talking to the Israelites telling them to swear by the name of their God that her own family will be spared, what do you think she was doing?
That's what DEFENCE means in a practical sense not facing people before whom you're as powerless as a fly, ọmọ that's suicide not defence!

Now you have become delusional and you now create your definitions on the go.
If we begin to redefine words as we like we would both look like idiots making a fool of ourselves.

Aemmyjah:
When you come down from the moon, you'll see the reality
Why not ask your granny or any older person to tell you about kidnapping during their times. In those days, it was 'goatnapping' not 'kidnapping' and now we have 'familynapping' and even 'passengernapping' where passengers in bus or buses are taken away
Politicians and scientists are predicting doom for earth and you say the world is getting better
Greed, crimes, drug abuse, drug trafficking and domestic violence is increasing and divorce and you say the world is getting better
I pity you sef. If you can say the world is getting better and still you that say wars brings about a better society, you're just contradicting yourself

I am making this post just to help you gain knowledge. Here I would be linking site where you can research. After your research then we can discuss.

Please don't ask your grandma. Study for yourself.

MaxInDHouse:
It's you that doesn't know what DEFENCE means.
Defence simply means peacemaking through any form of means while violence could be an option surrendering is another option considering what you will loose.
In the case of Israel and the Canaanites it's 0 chance of survival against the most high God so picking up weapons makes no practical sense. Just imagine the Israelites only shouted and the heavy walls of Jericho fell down flat.
So how do you expect to survive in such a scenario?
Ọmọ it's stupidity defending a politician at that particular time, if i was in Jericho back then i would have taken my family away kíákíá without thinking twice!

Oga you would do yourself so much good if you get a dictionary.
Please borrow a dictionary and find the meaning of defence

You don't need to ask your grandma, just read. the stats are there. The problem with the black man is that he refuses to read.
Politicians, religious leaders, and scientists have always predicted doom. A certain church we both know predicted so much would happen before the year 2000. Scientists predicted the end of the world and the destruction of the ozone layer.
Please just read and don't depend on grandma's tales. That's why they sent you to school.
If you need materials to do your research please ask me and I would be of help.

MaxInDHouse:
They're not defending themselves rather they were fighting in support of their human rulers as in politicians who were pushing them to go and die before the armies of the Most powerful spirit.
Those defending are Rahab who use her senses to be on the side of the Most powerful spirit.

Someone is invading my land and you claim I am supporting a leader that makes no sense.
I don't think you understand what defence means.

Aemmyjah:
OK
You were the one arguing the issue of war, politics and the state and religion
Like I said, when it comes to politics, you should be cheering and not criticising us. Even if we have a presidential candidate, una no go still vote for am. I simply say, whether na Democratic or military or whatever form it might take, politics is what people use to enforce laws or get what they want for a nation or a group. And I ask, see what politics has caused to the nation. You can't use a eraser to clean what paint brushes has caused.
You say the world is getting better. When you were little like say, 10 years old, did you use to hear of terrorism or bokoharam? Did you use to fear herdsmen? We even travel at night those days but no longer. How much was prices of food?
I'm just returning from Ibadan and I was shocked to see that they now sell water leaf, scent leaf and bitter leaf in the market. Those were just weeds that used to grow but now it's all over the market Things are getting worse. See, politics have brought ruin

So despite Boko Haram and terrorists the world is safer than it has ever been.
You are looking at Nigeria and failing to see the world as a whole.
Let me ask you, how many wars were fought in just West Africa alone in the 1900s? Are the number of wars in Africa increasing or decreasing?
Oga the world is much better than anything in history. Please do so reading.
Let's use kidnaping as an example. Did you know that millions of Africans, even entire villages were kidnapped and sold as slaves.
No one said the world is perfect but it keeps getting better.
Please do some reading. Compare the world 100 years ago to present day.
There were more wars, more kidnapping and more hunger than today. There was less kindness, less humanitarian activities. Less tolerance , less rights and less collaboration among nations.

MaxInDHouse:
My definition of politics:
The act of vouching for an imperfect human to make perfect policies that's fair to one and all.

The most powerful spirit being in the universe wanted to secure the land of Canaan in order to establish pure worship. He journeyed to Egypt to free the descendants of a man named Jacob with whom He made a covenant to establish pure worship and singlehandedly freed the people using two feeble octogenarians to lead them. The whole world heard how the Most High Spirit Being did this so the fear of His worshipers is already in the hearts of all the inhabitants of the earth.
Any direction they face makes people fear as it's evident that the Most powerful spirit is with them. Definitely if you are living in any part of Canaan with your family back then the first thing that should come to your heart as a sane human is the safety of you and your family {Joshua 2:12-13 compare to Joshua 9:3-27} whatever makes you feel like picking up weapons against the Israelites is not to save your life but to support your preferred ruler in the face of DEATH. Ọmọ that's POLITICS!

You definition of politics is very hollow. Even God uses imperfect human being for his work.

The same imperfect human beings have made this work better than it has ever been.

You again are not able to grasp simple facts. You forget that it was Israel that was invading and the people of Canaan were only defending themselves.

Good pm niranlanders, how una dey?

I married very early, that Is five years ago, immediately i started working. Immediately we gave Birth to our first child, I was sacked from my place of work in a mysterious way. All our house equipment was sold, we left a comfortable apartment to a single room.

At a time, I was doing menial jobs just for us to feed. One day, in the process of seeking for solution to get my job back, I got to a church, and the pastor asked me to come with my wife, which I did, to my surprise, the pastor asked my wife, why are you afraid for your husband to have money? You are thinking if he makes money he will marry other women, he said pls pray for your husband to succeed, he is bigger than this.

And he asked my wife to come back for deliverance, but she refused.

Secondily, I went to another place, a spirituallist, and a female, she said I married wrongly, that the girl I was supposed to marry I missed it. She said I should come with my wife, and I did, she said my wife has another spirit, that she feels the marriage will not last...but till today, nothing I put hand dey work, most times we live together but never discuss together, we just live like strangers at home, and most time I regret getting married. I don't really know what to do now, I can't support my parents like before, they are not happy with me...

pls I need advice, prayers and support.

Even when you divorce your wife and marry another, your problems would not end. Keep going from one fake pastor to another.
Many of these pastors are specialist in destroying homes and families.

MaxInDHouse:
WARS doesn't result from insults rather wars only result from POLITICS. If i insult you or you insult me we may both end up quarrelling or fighting each other but then no right thinking person supposed to take sides just to support either you or me. Intelligent people will just find a way to resolve whatever may be the cause not picking up weapons in support of either sides, that's what Jehovah's Witnesses are saying, not that we have become perfect as if we have anything special that's keeping us away from WARS it's the thought that no member of our loving organization will support us against anyone if we refuse to resolve issues amicably that's the key!

But all other religions will solicit for support from everyone just to suppress their opponents that's where politics comes to play!

Please what is your definition of politics?
Explain how politics caused the war between Israel and Jericho in the bible?
History is rich with examples of wars that began from insults. A Google search would do you good. Politics is just like science. It can be used for good or bad.
Also, someone who calls another yeye for not agreeing with his religion lacks training and is not a very intelligent person.

Aemmyjah:
Disrespectful?
You de vex?
Go and read what Jesus Christ said at Matthew 23 to those religious leaders and you'll know if he too was brainwashed

I have learnt not to expect any civility from JW so I am not angry. Nevertheless, I was only hoping that you could be the one jw that is fit for civil society and discussion. Sorry I overrated you. I was wrong.
I always have this fault of hoping for the best in others but many times I am disappointed. Yet I never learn to stop expecting mutual respect from others even when we don't agree.
Anyone can use abusive language. It doesn't take intelligence or skill but some of us choose to be better.
You don't believe in war yet you believe in insults. Doesn't this make you a hypocrite? Do you know how many wars have been caused from insults? James 3:1-12

Aemmyjah:
I be like small pikin for Bible knowledge
I be toddler sef
You be like big brother, make I continue learn n watch as u de use scriptures shine light for this forum
Don't mind yeye atheist
Their own case bad pass cos as them think say they wise, dem no wan reason any truth at all about God or Bible. Dem de make their father who is the devil to be happy
Yes, atheists are the biggest group bringing smiles to their father face who is the Devil and Satan whether they believe him or not.
Jesus said that those who are conscious of their spiritual need will be happy, how will Satan feel seeing that people are increasingly rejecting any spiritual consciousness, he is happy and proud of his children but they won't experience the happiness that those who have truly satisfied this need will experience.
May Jehovah add all the plagues in the Bible on my head if I choose to be an atheist, an apostate or to leave the truth and go and be listening to one daddy GO or another religious group!

All of you are quite disrespectful. You use words that are not beholding to the Children of God. I have noticed that with every JW on this forum. But then who am I to correct you? You have already been brainwashed.

Aemmyjah:
We have records of more war casualties and there's a probability that life would wipe out if nuclear weapons are used and you say that the world is getting better. I winder the kind of eyeglasses you used as if you have not been seeing protests, taking governments to court, insurrection, strikes, etc which is unprecedented. What of terrorism and inflation and crime and unemployment, yet you say the world is now a better place. I hope you're not under lockdown in a underground where you're shielded from news.
Yes, slave trade has reduced drastically but have you seen that slavery is still been done in 'subtle forms'
Which righteous war? Shame. Any righteous was will not affect the life or lives of innocent people
Differentiate sciences and politics or combine them, they have helped one way or the other but they have not solved world problems but rather contributed to it
Less racism and discrimination? Were you alive and witnessed what happened globally in 2020 about George Floyd. Why are players taking a knee before they start matches? What happens to black players after a bad game?
If politics is not the cause of bad governance, what is it? Don't forget I say that man's problem is moral not political
As of War in heaven, war occur between two opposite sides and the aim is to defeat or resist the other. The Bible mentions of that war in Revelation 12. Either you believe Satan and his demons have been resisting Jesus Christ and the angels who they could not defeat or you believe what the Bible says that there was a war and the devils side was defeated and expelled from heaven. Or you want to go and mobilise?
You mentioned USA government, what a shame! I am sure you don't read foreign news

I must give it to you, you are a great writer but you got all the facts wrong.
Allow me to take them one by one.

1. The number of wars and the casualties of war have been drastically reduced than any period in history. Please do your research. You could compare our present time with the 1800s or 1900s or just anything in human history. In fact, the current war in Ukraine is the first major war in Europe in 70 years.
Did you read the old testament at all? The children of Israel were almost continuously at war with their enemies.

2. Let's talk about inflation, unemployment, and poverty. Ask economics, Inflation is not always a bad thing. Even in the olden day, there was inflation. As for unemployment, it's higher now because in the past almost everyone was a farmer or a slave. But then the key factor is poverty. We have Far less percentage of poverty than at any time in history. Below is an article that could help you. https://ourworldindata.org/history-of-poverty-has-just-begun
We have better health care than at any time in history and life expectancy is higher than at any time in recorded history.

3. On racism, you sighted George Floyd. Do you know the policeman that killed George is in jail? There used to be a time when a white man can kill a black man without going to jail. So much has changed over time. There used to be a time when black people had no votes. There was a time when blacks had no opportunities. But on Tuesday, 7 Nigerians won elections in the USA. It would be unfair not to agree that we have really improved.

The war in heaven shows that even in heaven there was fighting. There is always a conflict of interest and nations. It's the way the world is. God led the armies of Israel. That is just the way it is.
But then again, many wars have brought about a better society.
-If not for the allied forces, the world would have become Adolf Hitler's slaves.
-Then we have the war against slavery.
-Paul Kagame liberated his country through war and ended the greatest genocide in modern times.
I can go on and on but I know you already get the point.
It's unfair to act as if society is still as bad as in the days of Christ. Do you know that if Jesus Christ came to the world today, he would not have been killed? In Israel today, no one would kill you if you said you were the Christ. Today they believe in human rights.

Animegirl:
I'm just curious.

Broke guys mostly date broke girls so the relationship is mutual.

Aemmyjah:
When people point fingers at us that we don't do politics
I ask 'Have you not seen what politics has caused in Nigeria and the world in general?
At least we don't oppress anyone or loot your money or launder it or deliver fake promises. We campaign for the real government. The one we campaign for, una no gree accept am, so we can't accept yours too. We are not anti- governmen, we respect the government. Some government officials have said that we even respect government pass. For example, we don't promote hate speech but those who brought up such law do so; we don't spray money cos we respect currency as constitution directs but politicians allow it or do so in their parties and campaigns too; we don't steal or loot or destroy campaign or election materials but political parties under the constitution do so and we don't tell discourage others from voting as everyone has their own freedom to choice

As to war in heaven, that was the only war ever. God was not ignorant of that war or it just happened like the ones we see today. It was Jehovah's newly appointed king who engaged in war against his enemies, Satan and the demons who were also in heaven at the time, the seat of government. So as ruler, he ousted, no, he 'hurled' down these wicked ones down from heaven. How will he rule effectively if Satan and his demons are still there accusing both angels and humans as Revelation 12 says. So Jesus Christ carried out the war according to God's mandate and as according to God's mandate, he'll come cleanse these earth from wickedness, destroy Satan and the demons, bring an end to all forma and causes of pain, suffering and injustice where the good ones will enjoy life in peaceful, perfect conditions.

I agree that Churches can't stop wars, why should they? When they preach love in the Church but when conflict arise, they promote and bless wars in the name of patriotism, ethnicity and tribalism. They do this because 'they are part of the world' whose ruler is Satan, the one who came to kill and to destroy. All the religions are in romance with politics to strengthen it. Either they promote political interests or they perish

Let your kingdom come O Jehovah, let it come!!!
Human government are failing us and oppressing us and blind people are still putting hope on fellow man who can die before the elections, be impeached or even resign. They are obedient to mortal man and not God and Jesus Christ who are bringing kingdom blessings
Me I pity the person that will leave his comfort zone to rule this country of over 200 million especially in the conditions we are seeing. People are praying for dollars to increase against naira cos of selfish interest, people are hoping for for it to decrease.
Even if dollars is equal to 1kobo, it won't end our problem cos THE PROBLEM OF MAN IS MORAL AND NOT POLITICAL.
It's foolish to use political means to end moral problems

It would have been better if you broke down your thoughts into little posts but then let me try to reply all.
First, politics is not the cause of the bad governance in Nigeria. Putting the blame on politics shows you don't understand the meaning of politics.
Blaming politics is like blaming science. Politics like science are tools that can be used for good or for bad.
It's also interesting you used Nigeria and not countries like Switzerland and the US that have a great system of government.

As for the war in heaven, there was only one recorded war so let's not say what we don't know. The bible only recorded one war. We don't know if other wars were fought.
We all understand the purpose of the war in heaven. But also on earth there have been wars for righteous purposes such as the war against slavery also known as the American civil war.
I don't know where you get your facts from but saying human governments are failing us is a long stretch.
Thanks to improving governments, the world is now a better place than at any previous time.
In almost every constitution, slavery is an evil. We now have basic human rights.
There is less racism and discrimination than at any other time on earth.
The governments are not perfect but over time they keep getting better.
Thanks to the governments of the world today, Jehovah witnesses can spread their gospel in peace without being harassed in most nations of the world.
People fought and died to make this happen for you. That is love.

The only protection my Master Lord and King Christ Jesus taught me is spiritual not physical. Matthew 5:43-48
So instead of protecting the body which can expire he taught me to always protect my Soul {Matthew 10:28} which could only be possible if i'm 100% obedient to this commandments!
(1) LOVE God! Mark 12:29-30
(2)LOVE neighbours! Mark 12:31
(3) LOVE enemies! Matthew 5:43-48
(4) LOVE fellow believers! John 13:34-35

I can't see how WARS come in this setting!

It is because of love that people have their lifes to end slavery and to fight terrorist. Today in the north of Nigeria, there are people fighting to keep communities safe from terrorist and herdsmen. That is pure love. That is the love of God.
Love isn't to sit aside and allow people to suffer. It is to stand and fight. Do you understand.

Love is active not passive
If you truly love, you would be prepared to fight for the freedoms and happiness of others.
If you love, for example you would be against oppression, terrorist and other evils.

God loved the world yet he destroyed it via a flood. Clearly you don't understand the verses you quoted.

MaxInDHouse:
I never knew WARS could thrive with all that in the minds of adherents!


I no know book o!

If there could be war in heaven then you should know and expect same here. There would always be the good and the bad and the many caught in-between.
There would always be the need to keep safe and protect yourself as long as there is evil in this world.

dele1727:
And who says its 40%...
Mr nonsense...
Because u saw a simple article on front page that says USA inflation dropped to 7.7%....
No 1...what was it before it dropped
No 2..the 7.7% is national average....not for the housing unit in the image...

So please learn to use your mind, eyes ear

Do you lack understand? Housing is only one item. Housing inflation does not directly affect up to 10% at any given time. Many Americans already have houses and many others are not looking to buy a house right now eg children.
That's why it is foolish to gauge inflation only from one item.
You asked what the US inflation was before it dropped. It was a little above 8%.
You have a long way to go before you understand the global economy.

dele1727:


Intelligent people know that we are not alone...
Of course this government and the people could have done more....

But the reality is that the world is facing the bites of inflation....

You can't pump money into the economy after covid and not face it....

Plenty money chasing few goods

For the few fools quoting me just because i dont subscribe to the illusion that everywhere else is better than Nigeria....

Or that economic crisis is only affecting us.. here is something from the USA.

Stop the nonsense. US inflation is 8%, not 40%.

Matthew 5:43-48
Mark 12:31
John 13:34-35

Because i really want to know where the wars are coming from! Revelations 6:3-4

Every one of them believes and obeys those verses 100%. Have you even read the passages?

MaxInDHouse:
At least they're learning from me us!

JW would learn from JW
Deeper life would learn from deeper life
Redeem would learn from Redeem
You are not making an intelligent point

MaxInDHouse:
No wahala, my general.

The highlighted!

So of what use is the agreement on doctrines if errors can't be resolved among those having the same doctrine {2Timothy 3:16} only for them to settle using weapons? Matthew 26:52

Do you understand the separation of church and state? In a multi-religious nation, differences are not separated in the church. You guys don't do politics so what would you know?
Guy, no church can stop wars. Even God did not stop the war in heaven so it's foolish to resolve peacefully with someone about to kill you and take away your land.

MaxInDHouse:
No wahala thank God other followers are with us in the discussion whether there's point or not i leave it to them!

Your followers should believe your doctrine or what you expect. It's not difficult to brainwash people.

MaxInDHouse:
Don't forget that wars was my field formerly and when it comes to those who are against it we know that it's only JWs because they're not just saying it rather they're practicing it and religiously preaching against it!

Before you create it note that there's one thing to declare your faith but it's another thing entirely for your faith to WORK {James 2:18-26} so if any religion say they're against wars how far have they been preaching zealously and industriously teaching people in their neighbourhood against WARS?

That's what makes JWs unique!

Me too, I was a general in the Russian army so what's your point?
Do worry, I would educate you. This idea of no war is not original with JW. Also, it is a foolish idea. As long as wickedness abounds, there would always be a need to fight.

Blessedmercy8:
I went somewhere and on my way back, I remembered I will be going to church this evening and I have no food in the house. So I decided to stop by and have something at this eatery.

I first had a plate of eba and protein 2100.

I stayed for a while and went for their pottage yam, 800.


Though the food was expensive, I really enjoyed the place because It was cool and relaxing. Plus I had a good view from where I was sitting at the VIP lounge.

Social media is turning everyone into idiots.
