Starzo: You are the one seriously lacking simple and basic knowledge of not washing your dirty linen in public. You sit down to carefully compile data aimed at denegrading your own without proffering any viable idea that would improve things.
You're the type that goes out of your country to start telling your hosts Nigeria is a zoo while you're the biggest and dirtiest animal of all. Continue talking nonsense about your own in public. What ever degrading thing you say about Nigeria/Nigerians, you're also saying about your self (the foolish child that points to his father's house with his left hand).
And one last thing, when the Ghanaians start treating you like the animal you've made them believe you are, keep Nigeria govt/embassies out of your desperate calls for help. Rather go down on your knees and beg your newly found and all round better Ghanaian masters.
Ekpa!. Afterm all I sent you, you still act like a fool. My guy you are truly cursed. |

Starzo: I see you're an ignorant dunce. Now let me reply your mumu points 1. Ghana will continue getting 'Igbo' business cuz Igbo people are natural migrants and most times it has nothing to do with economic boyancy or quality of living. In case you don't know there millions of Igbos in northern Nigeria doing business despite the fact that they and the northerners are sworn enemies and would kill each other at the slightest provocation. Igbo people would even move to Afghanistan to 'do business' if they have the chance. So them being in Ghana implies nothing more than the fact that they're natural migrants and are everywhere.
2.Having an expensive city that your average citizen can't comfortably keep up with the expenses of living in the said city, Is that a sign of good development?
3. Their currency is only higher on paper due to the fact that it was devalued. One cedi is actually about 100 cedis in reality that's why the cost of commodities like beer, margarine etc are very expensive there.
4. As for the rest of your points, it can be sumed up in one reply, northern Nigeria. They are the ones with the crust of the poverty and illiteracy and not the Southerners that make up almost the entire community of nairaland you like arguing with
So next time you feel like empty chest beating over imaginary better standard of living,go and look for an aboki from a core northern State to engage with. PS, your class (northern Nigerians) are very very scarce on this site. I have more data for you. Let me know if you need more. This is free education for you. |

Babsojimjim: Dear All,
The write up below is exactly what a friend is going through from his wife. Please what sort of action can he take?
Despite, all he has done to please his wife, called Reverend fathers and pastors to counsel them both, his wife is still indifferent to him and is threatening to quit the marriage, citing accumulated pains of the past.
Currently, she says she wants to go back to her parents house else she will die or commit suicide. The man called her parents, and their advise was that since she is his wife, he should decide if to allow her leave his house to come and see them (parents) or stay in his house that the decision is his as the husband.
At this juncture my friend is confused and dont know what to do again.
Even the unmarried friend of his wife who came to stay with them is not helping matter at all as she seems to be enjoying the challenge between my friend and his wife.
Please advise needed. Thanks. Let her go na. Or you want her to kill herself? |

So next time you feel like empty chest beating over imaginary better standard of living,go and look for an aboki from a core northern State to engage with. PS, your class (northern Nigerians) are very very scarce on this site. I would go 1 more step and compare Ghana directly with eastern Nigeria to make you happy ok. 1. Minimum wage. .. In Ghana it's above N50k in southeast Anambra the idiot government refuses to pay 30k 2. Security... The southeast has become the 3rd most insecure zone in nigeria. Congrats on that. 3. Gdp per capital Anambra is the richest southeast state with a useless gdp of $1615 per capital Ghana's gdp is 2,275.77 U.S. dollars. Now you see why igbo business men love ghana. 4. Education The best university in south east is UNN in 42ND place in Africa. We have 2 Ghanaian universities ahead of all universities in Nigeria. There are less than 2000 international students in the entire Nigeria compared to almost 6000 in Ghana 5.Infrastructure The entire south east does not have a single working power plant (I am not referring to that generator in your compound) Zero pipe borne water except for parts of enugu. Some of the worst roads in the world.. namely onitsh-enugu, enugu-port Harcourt, Enugu-owerri, all the roads in aba most of the roads in owerri, and many others. Ghana with only 30 million people has 3 hydro dams. The smallest , Akuse dam produces more electricity than the entire Anambra gets. All Ghana cities have working pipe borne water. They also have great linking roads to all regions. 30 million Ghanaian's have 8 airports, while 21 million people of South eastern Nigerian share 3 airport (I included the new Anambra airport) 6. International recognition Ghana is the rigional headquarters of most multinationals. From Nestlé to twitter. No intelligent organization thinks of Nigeria not to mention the southeast. Dunlop let Nigeria for Ghana, Coke moved the headquarters to Ghana. 7. Civil liberty Even you knows Ghana is more democratic. Finally, I want you to make your list of how nigeria or any part of Nigeria is better than Ghana We have more beautiful women aND our jolof is sweeter that's how far it goes. You can stop the patriotic bullshit, swallow your pride and grow you shameless country. I came up with new areas to discuss if you don't mind. 8 Tourism The entire nigeria with 200 million people had 1.4 million tourist in 2019. Ghana with only 30 million people had. 1.1 million. Despite your large size people generally stay away from Nigeria. 9 oil Nigeria exports over 450 million barrels a year Ghana only produces less than 10 million barrels. So we can't really view ghana as an oil giant. 10 agricultural exports In 2019 Ghana exported 3.6 billion dollors worth of agricultural products. While the entire lazy nigeria exported less than 2 billion dollars worth of food. Very little of that came from the southeast (even if you include Obiano''s fake ugu export) 11 Brilliance Every year, Ghanaian students beat nigeria in WEAC with impressive gap. I guess Ghanaian's are the real Jews. You guys are jewmen. Let me know if you want more comparisons |

I wonder what you gain or hope to achieve by telling horrendous lies about your country while heaping fallacious and erroneous praises on others.
Y'all are truly terrible people and that's the reason the country is not moving forward. After all the State of a society is a reflection of the character of the people within it.
Infact pack your bags and go enjoy Ghana. I can see you are trying to be patriotic so I wouldn't blame you for acting like you have no home training. I believe your parents tried to bring you up properly. Now to which country is better. How come Ghana keeps getting more and more Nigerian business men especially igbo business men despite the fact they treat them like thrash. Just so you know, Accra is the most expensive city in west Africa. The Ghanaian currency is much better that yours. Their GDP per capital is much better than yours. Poverty is much higher in Nigeria. I am sure you don't know that Nigeria is the world's capital of poverty. Their literacy level is much higher than yours. Their universities are better than yours. You would travel from the border at Aflawo to ivory coast on very good roads. But once you get to badagy border in Nigeria you are welcome to hell. Unemployment in your dear Nigeria is now 23%. It's less than 12% in Ghana. Minimum wage in Ghana is above N50k |

MaxInDHouse: I've never commented on this section! I just want to show how much i appreciate your contribution on the thread raised by that Apostate. Note that we are not allowed to engage any of them in a meaningful conversation so they're feeling really thirsty to hear from us {Luke 16:24} just as the demons they're worshiping are also desperately contemplating to hear something from us! 1Peter 1:12 So just as father Abraham (God) responded to the rich man telling him why Lazarus can't engage him {Luke 16:25-26} it's the GB they're seeing as the obstacle that will not allow us chat with them! Romans 16:17; 2John 10-11
Note how father Abraham addressed the rich man "child" which means he once saw favor from father Abraham before his death (spiritual condition) those Apostates were with the organization before having the privilege of learning directly from the GB before they left but now they've crossed the chasm yet instead of facing where they chose they're looking longingly behind trying to engage us. Please do you think we have any business with them? If they failed to believe all the prophecies pointing to JW Organization as the one and only form of pure worship then there is nothing that can satisfy their curiosity! Luke 16:31
Thanks, God bless you and may you have PEACE!  I DONT KNOW YOUR DOCTRINE regarding your formal members. But then this is a forum, you cant decide who takes part in a discussion or not. But you can ignore anyone you don't want to speak with. On the other hand, you can put him to shame with facts and truths. Remember Elijah and the prophets of Baal. he put them to shame because God was with him. So it's up to you. |

MaxInDHouse: I think we have to leave this thread for your friends and continue our discussion elsewhere because you haven't answered my question SATISFACTORILY!
Having the same line of thought means a lot not just the dogma of a religion. For instance Jesus' followers are to love their neighbours as themselves {Mark 10:31} but they must love their fellow believers just as Jesus loves each of them {John 13:34-35} now only Jehovah's Witnesses are practicing these two laws. HOW? They must sacrifice their time to go visiting people in their neighbourhood (uninvited) just because they have to practice the love Jesus showed his neighbours back in the first century. And what about the love for their fellow believers? Everyone throughout the earth knows that JWs have love among themselves. That is the EVIDENCE of oneness of thought not dogmas!  This is a forum, it's an open place for all unless you want to discuss on Whatsapp which I am not open to. But then, let me answer you this one time. The 66 books of the bible did not lead to the oneness you talk about. 90% of churches out there use these 66 books and they are not one. hence oneness is not about the number of the volumes of materials you use. Also, in the past, I have shown you churches with similar beliefs to yours. These are churches that share the same 66 books and like you, they are against politics and war yet you are not one with them. So the argument that having only 66 books brings about unity holds no water. Does this not answer your question 100%? |

Please i want you to note that Jehovah's Witnesses are not obligated to consider responding to anyone who doesn't have interest in the only group practicing pure worship! That's the reason why we are different from all other religions! Others just invite people to come and see what they like in their churches while we stick to the form of worship approved by God. Once again, thanks for sharing your time with Jehovah's Witnesses!  Now you are scaring me, this is a job posting, why are you discussing religion here. |

MaxInDHouse: NO! You haven't answered my question SATISFACTORILY!
If the Bible is not the complete message God wants mankind to assimilate then how can there be one religion as prophesied in the Bible {Zephaniah 3:9} remember Jesus prayed for God's people to have the same line of thought {John 17:20-23} and Apostles Paul admonished his fellow believers to do just so. Now can you explain how possible is that when the books that will guide God's people is not compiled in one volume?  The bible is just 66 books not all the Word of God. God never referred to the bible as all his word. Yes, God's people should have the same line of thought that is correct but we never learned that the same line of thought is in only 66 books. The Catholics have the Apocryphal yet they all have the same line of thoughts. The Latter-day Saints have the book of Mormon yet they all have the same line of thoughts. The entire Christain world has the bible yet we don't have the same line of thoughts so even having a common bible does not guarantee the same line of thoughts. have I answered your questions? Can you now begin to answer mine one by one? Let me give you an example with the latter-day saints, they have many different scriptures yet they believe the same things. so having many volumes does not pose any prolem for them. |

Those ones only need to see the fulfilment of Bible prophecies and the group performing in harmony with the prophecies.

Well let me ask again but this time try not to be emotional instead go straight to what you want to emphasize with that lengthy epistle.
What exactly is your point?
God failed to monitor His own message which was authored to save mankind.
God missed some of his inspired writings while humans took charge if it's compilation.
God wants mankind to wait until he comes to reveal more info for the salvation of mankind.
Please you may present your own point if none of the three fittingly describe your write-up!  This question is very shallow, you know why? this same argument can be made in defense of any scripture. This same argument can be made in defense of even the 6&7 Books of Moses. Again you claim that the Church of God was lost until 1914, did God fail to monitor His own message which was authored to save mankind. Now to answer your question God did not fail he just did not put all his words in one book. So we have the Bible with 66 books and we continue to get his words from other books and other sources. Now I have answered your question are you willing to attempt mine? God wants mankind to wait until he comes to reveal more info for the salvation of mankind.and yes, there would be so much we would learn about God when he comes. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Jw.org: 100 Years Of Failed Prophecies. by tctrills: 2:06pm On Dec 17, 2021 |
MaxInDHouse: Now let me enlighten you!
First let's travel back to the first century when Jesus got baptized by John. Before this time two Jewish zealots have come claiming they are the Messiah but both of them died in the struggle and all their followers were forgotten {Act 5:36-37} these are the ones Jesus later referred to as thieves that came before him! John 10:8 So no doubt the nation has been expecting the Messiah (Christ) but what is the evidence that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah?
Note how Nathaniel debunked Jesus when his brother Philip first mentioned "Jesus of Nazareth" {John 1:45-46} surely Jesus needs to present his credentials as the true Messiah.
Even John the baptist was confused after his arrest expecting Jesus to come and deliver him from prison after all Jesus is the Messiah who will rule in righteousness {Isaiah 9:7} so he sent his disciples to ask if Jesus is the real Messiah {Matthew 11:2-3} did Jesus do what John was expecting? Naaaaaaaaaaaaa! Jesus only told John's disciples to go back and tell John about the fulfilment of prophecies regarding the promised Messiah {Matthew 11:4-6} Note what Jesus used to end his response to John's question:
"Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me." Matthew 11:6 NIV
Jesus said this to warn John not to be stumbled due to wrong expectations the way most Jews were stumbled.
Now My Point!
Jehovah's Witnesses have presented their own group as the one and only organization having Jesus' backing and the fulfilment of Bible prophecy pointing to what God's people will be doing during the final part of the days {Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3} so if you truly appreciate God's inspired word instead of supporting the idea that it's incomplete why not ask for any other PERFORMING GROUP and let them present their achievements in harmony with the prophecy regarding the final part of the days?  Yes, we would discuss other groups but there is a time and a thread for everything. We are currently discussing the scripture. Since I have been discussing with you, this is one of the few topics where you have not attempted to answer my questions instead you want to divert into another topic. I really wish you had a senior colleague who could answer simple questions. |

God is not able to see to the compilation of the message He wants mankind to assimilate for them to be saved.
Or
God failed to monitor His inspired writings which was purposely authored to save mankind.
Or
Mankind must wait for God to come and readjust what is compiled for their salvation.
Please which of this three are you trying to say?
You're free to present your POINT if the three doesn't fittingly describe your write-up!  You agree with the compilation of the 66 books, you know it came from the Catholics yet you reject their other books. You said God would not allow his record to be wrongly complied yet you believe the Apocryphal. you depend on the Catholics for the word of God. You reject other books accepted by even bible writers. You claim that the truth was lost until 1914 but somehow these people complied the bible in the 4th century. You are not doing the best job as a marketer.

You're free to present your POINT if the three doesn't fittingly describe your write-up!  You don't have any points here. because these very same points you have made can be used to support the Apocryphal. Because these were the very same people that added it. I mean the catholic church. So it's totally hypocritical to use that cheap argument if you do not accept the Apocryphal and the catholic church. A catholic would ask you these very questions, in fact like one who does not accept the Catholic view, your questions show you are not sure where you stand. Clearly, If the compilation was done under the authority of God, you should be a Catholic, and then your argument would have meaning. Again if you feel God was in charge of the compilation, why do you feel he was not in charge of other books like the Book of Mormon and Apocryphal. Do you have a special reason |

MaxInDHouse: Jesus said:
By their fruits you will recognize them. Never do people gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles, do they? Likewise, every good tree produces fine fruit, but every rotten tree produces worthless fruit. A good tree cannot bear worthless fruit, nor can a rotten tree produce fine fruit. Matthew 7:16-18
So the assurance is when things works out for the purpose for which the books were written! 
Jesus said "by their FRUITS you will know them" definitely God's Holy Spirit worked with those who compiled those 66 books that's why the Bible has produced a big and happy family of peace loving worshipers as God foretold! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3  Now you are trying to confuse me but it wouldn't work. Every religion claims to be the right one so you have no evidence there. This your answer does not mean anything because any other Christian can give this same answer. The 66 books were not written or complied by your church and the are not unique to your church. So what is your point? |

MaxInDHouse: When catching fun do you think it's proper to use words like "STUPID" to address a friend? 
Moreover your attitude the exact opposite of what you said, you said you're here to catch some fun while i'm here to market my religion yet it's you that's catching fun that's using provocative speeches! 
The inspired writers have played their part and those that compiled it have also played their part, evidently God's Holy Spirit monitored the whole process. There are people who wanted to add and some wanted to subtract but God's Holy Spirit rescued the 66 so that nothing affected the ones God wants mankind to use. Remember Jesus promised that He will always be in the midst of those doing his father's work {Matthew 18:20} therefore Jesus used God's Holy Spirit to monitor the compilation of those 66 inspired writings! John 16:12-13
After the accurate compilation Jesus waited until 1914 when God ordered him to start ruling in heaven {Psalms 110:1 compare to Revelations 12:7-8} immediately the earth felt that some aliens have arrived on this planet {Revelations 12:9-12} that was the exact moment Jesus came in spirit to reorganize his group and ever since then millions have been flocking into Jesus' group while those who doesn't belong to Jesus but found themselves in his group either through birth or relations left Jesus' group! John 6:66
The year 2019 marked a century that Jesus' group started all over again what their first century Jewish brothers did back then and what is the result? They have gathered people from all races and assembled them for the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3
So Faith is the assured expectations of what is hoped for the evident demonstration of realities even though everyone can't grasp it! Hebrews 11:1
With what Jehovah's Witnesses have used that 66 books to achieved within just a century all what individuals like me need is to find my way into that organization {Zechariah 8:23} anything else is STORY! STORY!! STORY!!!
The purpose for which God inspired those writers has been met!  I did not call you stupid it was the question I called stupid. So let me give you a lesson in history. let me teach you how the bible was compiled The Old Testament books were written well before Jesus’ Incarnation, and all of the New Testament books were written by roughly the end of the first century A.D. But the Bible as a whole was not officially compiled until the late fourth century, illustrating that it was the Catholic Church who determined the canon—or list of books—of the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Indeed, the Bible is not a not a self-canonizing collection of books, as there is no table of contents included in any of the books. Although the New Testament canon was not determined until the late 300s, books the Church deemed sacred were early on proclaimed at Mass, and read and preached about otherwise. Early Christian writings outnumbered the 27 books that would become the canon of the New Testament. The shepherds of the Church, by a process of spiritual discernment and investigation into the liturgical traditions of the Church, spread throughout the world, had to draw clear lines of distinction between books that are truly inspired by God and originated in the apostolic period, and those which only claimed to have these qualities. The process culminated in 382 as the Council of Rome, which was convened under the leadership of Pope Damasus, promulgated the 73-book scriptural canon. The biblical canon was reaffirmed by the regional councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), and then definitively reaffirmed by the ecumenical Council of Florence in 1442). 3 things here, If you claim the compilation was inspired. Then you should be a Catholic. they compiled the bible. Again how do you tell that the compilation was inspired? finally, I have given you a list of other prophets' writings quoted in the bible. Doesn't that show you that they did a very bad job? |

achorladey: From what I could glean from his response, those question of yours are no go area. .
He can pick and choose scriptures to support whatever mindset he has. Earlier he said ALL SCRIPTURES is INSPIRED of GOD using 2 Timothy 3:16,17. What is the meaning and the content of all scriptures to Paul of which he is referring to Timothy.
2 Timothy
When Was It Written? Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy was likely written sometime between A.D. 64 and 65
Revelation
WHEN was it WRITTEN Almost all New Testament scholars now take the view that Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian, sometime around 95-96 CE.
So when Paul told Timothy that all scriptures is inspired of God was he talking about REVELATION that has not been written yet by JOHN? Great questions |

MaxInDHouse: All your questions are summed up in one:
What is the evidence that God wants us to hold onto only those 66 books?
My response is clear:
GOD has a purpose for inspiring the writers and once that purpose is met then we have the assurance that the 66 books are exactly what we need!  Even when you reshape my question, you do not answer it. 1. You asked what is the evidence; but you gave no evidence. 2. Are you saying that the other writings of Apostles and prophets that are not in the bible are uninspired? Examples are, book of Samuel the seer (1 Chr. 29:29); book of Gad the seer (1 Chr. 29:29); book of Nathan the prophet (1 Chr. 29), an epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, earlier than our present 1 Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9); possibly an earlier epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. 3:3); an epistle to the Church at Laodicea (Col. 4:16); and some prophecies of Enoch, known to Jude (Jude 1:14). 3. You claim to have an assurance that all you need is 66 books. The Bible never said so. So where did you get your assurance? 4. It wasn't God that gave us 66 books, it was those that compiled the bible long after the death of the Apostles. These were not men of God |

CSTRR: Better wages?? I doubt that. For an economy the size of Lagos State.
They have better Security per capital, a more established peace, and they probably have better roads per km of roads.
And yes, they have oil. Ghana is less than the population of lagos. So you need to understand economic. Nigerian gdp per capital $2,083.16 Ghana gdp per capital $2,328.53 This means the average Ghanaian is more economical productive than the average Nigerian or simply put, we have a worse economy.. Please do some reading on gdp to understand. It's just like saying India is richer than Norway because they have a much bigger economy. But Norway have 5 million people and India has 1.4 billion. |

MaxInDHouse: Don't get upset my friend, i thought you said you came here to catch some fun so why using abusive speech with provocation?  If you ask someone a question or dozens of questions and you're not getting your desired response all an intellectual (who is catching some fun) would do is conclude that the one you're asking doesn't have the answers, and you're good to go! But when you're asking questions and becoming abusive simply because you feel the person you're asking doesn't provide a desirable response do you still think you're "catching fun"? 
Well the book (Bible) was inspired by someone and the Author (GOD) has a purpose why He arranged for this documents to reach mankind so i used the illustration of a medicine to explain how people like me do reason, once the motive of the pharmacist is achieved in a perfect sense then we (Jehovah's Witnesses) believe that all the ingredients are complete.
We know that after Armageddon when all evildoers are gone, our God will reveal more secrets to help us reach perfection but for now He wants us to work on is the 66 in order to achieve what He said in the Bible book of Isaiah 2:2-4 and Micah 4:1-3 that's why His Son could say: NO ADDITION NO SUBTRACTION! Revelations 22:18-19
Please let's try to maintain our calmness if you still want me to believe that you're not here to attack me but to "catch some fun"  If I have insulted you, I apologize but I don't know how I have insulted you. You quote Revelations 22:18-19 but this does not suffice because most of these books were written even before revelations so they are not additions. Pauls letter to the Laodiceans for example. Again Revelations 22:18-19 shows that those thar compiled the bible are guilty of removing books from the word of God. So please try to attempt my questions. Or do you want me to ask them again so you can remember? If you truly believe we shouldn't add or remove then why do you support the removal of books written by Apostles and Prophets, some of which were quoted by other Apostles and prophets? Clearly, that is double standard. |

MaxInDHouse: Have you ever sit down and think about medicines that works perfectly? After seeing how perfect the medicine WORKS do you still contemplate how it's ingredients were mixed? Do you worry about some other ingredients as something to be added or subtracted from it's ingredients?
My friend, the yardstick to ascertain that God's inspired word (Bible) is complete with those 66 books is here today. God said:
In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream. And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore! Isaiah 2:2-4
The mountain of God means PURE WORSHIP, the hills means false religions, all the nations means people from different races. They will come under one umbrella and start INSTRUCTING themselves with what they found in the WORD of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. What they found will help them settle all their racial disparities, they will divert all their resources into the production of food and information materials, they will no longer think of weapons nor military services again! Micah 4:1-3
You and i can see it happening in our own eyes as Jehovah's Witnesses have gone throughout the earth to gather obedient people under one umbrella and everything written in that prophecy is been fulfilled. So my friend, what exactly do you think is missing in that book used to perfectly achieve this mission?  My friend, the yardstick to ascertain that God's inspired word (Bible) is complete with those 66 books is here today[color=#770077][/color]. They are not the only books here.. I gave you examples of the Apocryphal and the Book of Mormon. Again the only reason they are here is because someone with no qualification chose to destroy other inspired records. How did you decide that only 66 books are inspired? Or are you guys not allowed to ask or answer hard questions? |
