Will I say Nigerian atheist or atheist in general are a funny lot. How do you desire to have a 'decent' atheist as a girl friend?
Like who are you to require a standard for her when nothing rules her?
Or do you not know God gave man commandments on how to live life and be 'decent' and once God is removed man is free to make up his own rules as he lives and nothing becomes out of place for him. So just go ahead a marry any atheist you come across, she can decide to have 10 husband's and it's not out of place, she can decide to sleep with animals and it's still not out of place for her. She is ruled by nothing just as you claim you are too and hence free to do as she wills.
there are christians who practice all the "crimes" u stated above.

There's a lot of similarities between the two religions, the one and only difference between the two is LOVE. You're a 120% correct i was never a Muslim but born and raised by the Muslim family, i LOVE righteousness to the point i couldn't help it than to let go of Islam for JEHOVAH'S organization!
You too were never a JW but born and raised by the JW family, that's why you left for a place that befits your kind: ATHEISM
It's as simple as that Sir! wink

You were never one of us, real JWs can smell hypocrites from a distance!
For your information i was born and raised a Muslim before converting to JW, the only difference between Islam and the JWs is LOVE. Go out there and tell your story i'm telling you that no sincere human will believe your lies because everyone out there knows that when it comes to love among worshipers only JWs are known globally for love just as Jesus foretold! John 13:34-35

So you can continue deceiving yourself Sir! smiley
one thing u 4get is that no real/faithful muslim has ever changed his religion. U weren't a real muslim but a pretender who knew nothing about islam.

Here's one of ur songs' lyrics:
"Jehovah...cares 4 all without partiality...we never knw the good,that may come abt,when we see those in need & we help 'em out. Tho STRANGERS they may be, in hospitality,we lend our hands to care 4 their needs. Whenever we show favor to lowly ones,we imitate our God as beloved sons..."
But u,MaxInDHouse, are telling me that u lend help to ur members alone,isn't that hypocritical? By the way, i was a zealous member for years & i enjoyed how they cared for me when i was keenly in need. One brother threw me out of his house when i had no money to pay my rent & his wife was raining insults and abuses on me,meanwhile,i was a regular pioneer serving as a need greater in their cong. What a loving & caring set of people! Don't let me recall the past, just don't let me. Ntcheeeeeew

MaxInDHouse:
Come on, there's no religious organization in which you won't find such reports because we are all imperfect humans (sinners) and it's the world of God that's helping us to make needed changes in our lives.
So when we find child abusers our first concern is how to help them make changes not to judge them because we are all sinners and according to God's word the wages of sin is death! Romans 6:23

Ordinary having sex without marriage is the same as pedophilia and murder, therefore all of us needs help but we can only assist those who are humble enough to accept they're wrong! smiley
are u now trying to make me understand that JW are just like all other religious organization,& that there's nothing special about you guys? Or are u now telling me that yours is no longer the one & only perfect organization?

OK this is what is written in our book:

The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world. James 1:27

now to the 2nd part:
JW keep themselves without spot from the world,that is true especially with the reports of child sexual abuse of JWs spreading everywhere!

Me i don't have any time to waste on them the OP said:

So he doesn't want anyone to appeal to his conscience regarding what he chooses to say therefore i don't have anything to discuss with people who have killed their conscience to malign God's organization, there is freedom of speech, expression, worship and association let each one choose whatever they like {Revelations 22:11} but they can't stop me from sharing what i have with rightly disposed souls that's the assignment Jesus Christ gave me. Romans 8:35-39 many have become my personal Bible study on this same forum.
Any right thinking person should know that it makes no sense pointing at flaws in a religion without presenting a better performing group! wink
this ur better performing group something is eating u up. Just pray that it won't be too late when u realize how absurd it is to label JW as the best group.

...once a signer has found a deaf,that's his/her bible student,no other signer dared to visit that particular deaf without the original founder's permission. It was hard for new signers to have a bible student around town because those who had been in the cong earlier owned them all, so we had to go to farther communities to find our own bible studies. Teaching another pubisher's bible student often brought conflict because the owner will ask: "who told u to visit my deaf?". There were days when field service was dry,that is, no deafs to visit,they aren't at home. Some deafs intentionaly went hiding when they saw us. My service partner was once injured by a deaf we visited,the deaf boy hid in the bush & threw a stone which landed an inch beside his left eye. If the stone had hid his eye, watchtower would be glad to relate the experience of a young brother who lost one of his eyes because of kingdom work...
Christianity EtcRe: My Experience With The Jehovah's Witnesses Organization by Templee333(op): 11:09am On Oct 21, 2022
MORE CHALLENGES
Since we were ordered not to preach to hearers,we had to travel far & wide searching for deafs.Very few brothers had their personal vehicle (bike), but these were the ones who rarely went out for field work.We patronized commercial bikes every field service day. If u had 5 bible students (deafs),each in a different LGA, then u'd spend (or waste) a lot of money on transport alone. For the pioneers who had to hit their required hours, it was a hard task. Someone like me didn't care if i'll get anything to eat when i got back home, i endured hunger most days of the week just to get enough transport money to visit deafs. Some of us did spend a lot of time in Jehovah's matter & never remembered we were living in a world where "manna doesn't fall from heaven". But a naive believer like me still had the thought that manna could fall for the faithful. I relied so much on the fake promises of Watchtower & their Jehovah.

This slip is called "S4", we used it to record our field service activities & sent to "Jehovah" just as he required. The current S4 in use is a different format because JW organization responds to Jehovah's direction to change things from time to time. But since some people have sight or mental problem, they'll still say this pictures are false. It's a pity!

...ASL cong don't use books, rather, we were told to get portable DVD players or download the JW sign lang app into our mobile phones. We were expected to use these on field service. But a good number of us couldn't afford those gadgets. How could we when we're all strugling financially? For that we were constantly condemned for not following theocratic directions. The fact is,most of us were either apprentice or 2ndary school students. It was difficult with all the expenses & financial burdens imposed on our young shoulders. Watchtower,upon all their wealth, never gave us any financial support. It's Jehovah's service & we had to do it. The other congregations using the same kingdom hall were always looking for one or two things to blame us for. It's so sad that some JW pretend to be happy & satisfied, hiding emotional toture & frustrations under the guise of the only God's organization on earth. Just as someone on this forum said, they like to put on "fake smiles"...MORE STORIES LOADING

DEAFS SEARCH
ASL congregations are told not to preach to hearing people.We had to roam around searching 4 deafs to preach to. This made us travel long distances to look for them. We had to enter houses & ask people if they've known any deaf persons around,the person will then look at u with doubts & suspicions, thinking u had evil intentions against the deafs. Or maybe u are ritualists looking for deafs to use for sacrifices. Even when we'd state our intentions & purpose clearly to the people,they,knowing the hypocrisy of the JW people still responded negatively. Some threw insults & abuses at us. Some denied that they'd known any deaf person even if there's one around. Deaf search was (& is still) a tough work. Sometimes the effort yielded good result & we found some deafs...

FOR VERIFICATION
I'll like to clear some doubts about the authenticity of this story by mentioning some real names & locations.
As of 2014, there were only two ASL cong in Akwa Ibom State. One was in Uyo & the other one (ESA ATAN CONG) was in Ikot Ekpene. I was a member of Esa Atan cong & we used the Kingdom Hall at Atan rd. Our circuit was ASL-02, consisting of all ASL Cong in South South Nigeria. Our circuit Overseer (2014) was surnamed bro Mboho,he's very tall & sometimes bend down to sign. He was later succeeded by bro Amadike Ifeanyi as the new CO in 2015. Bro Ifeanyi is dark in complexion & tall. These two CO, i must admit,were friendly to us in the congregation & not rude like some of them that i knew. I knw very little abt their personal lives & families. Anyone can seek to verify those facts to knw if this story is a fiction or not.
Christianity EtcRe: My Experience With The Jehovah's Witnesses Organization by Templee333(op): 1:51pm On Oct 18, 2022
DEAFS CONGREGATION
ASL cong was a new field of experience. Meetings were conducted with signs & no voice was heard. Back in those days there were no tv sets in every Kingdom hall as it is now. Only sign lang congregations used tv & video cameras,just as it is now in JW conventions. It required extra efforts by the brothers to run a single meeting succesfully & the ASL congregation is far too expensive than regular speaking cong. It didn't take long 4 me to master the art of signing & did it fluently. I got used to the congregation & soon became popular and an object of gossip for others. There were many young people in the cong as older people didn't like the idea of stressing themselves with sign language. We were refered to as "children congregation"...

...being the spiritually minded young brother who never toyed with my spiritual goals, i kept busy in the ministry & disregarded all the abuses & hatred.Infact, a sister once approched & told me that i should stop singing as if i'm the only one who can sing kingdom songs.She said i'll soon face the wrath of the elders if i didn't stop that nonsense.She said my singing habit was a "sin" & that brothers & sisters didn't like it. I knew Jehovah will set things right in his own due time. I soon found a match to my burning zeal, it was the other congregation who used the same kingdom hall with us,the American Sign Language (ASL) congregation. I started attending ASL classes. It seemed i was finding a new water to quench my thirst 4 doing more in Jehovah's service. I joined the ASL congregation without delay. Since we didn't use voice in ASL cong, i'd escape the singing "sin". My zeal was renewed & i was happy to be doing all i could 4 Jehovah...

...my new congregation didn't help matters at all. In less than one month i had haters who never greeted or talk to me,but went around gossiping in my back that i'm over-righteous. Even the elders were wolves,none care abt the fact that i was just a young pioneer of 17yrs coming to live alone in town,not knowing anybody & having no friends, neither did they care that i was undergoing abuses at work place by my JW boss & coleagues. All that concerned them was to bring my publisher record card. But how was that my responsibility? I had given them my village cong address & contact, it was their responsibility to request & get the card & not mine. I just didn't understand why everyone was looking 4 something to blame me for. My village cong elders withheld my card for months & refused to send it. But how was that my fault? The hatred was too much for my young mind to bear, but that was Jehovah's only organization & i had to stay.

MORE CHALLENGES TO MY BELIEF
I believed the JW organization to be the most holy,truthful & loving organization on earth. Just because things didn't go well in my village congregation didn't mean it's like that everywhere. I lived in Ikot Ekpene city for 2yrs & saw the different colours of brothers & sisters in several congregations. At 1st it started with my boss. What shocked me was why he didn't respect the JW organization at all,yet he believed it's the only true religion on earth. I was repeatedly punished for spending more time in "kingdom activities" instead of work.Sometimes i was beaten,insulted or ridiculed for my choices. But why did it has to be my own brothers with whom we share the same faith always opposing me? The workshop became a miserable place for me because of the constant abuses. Once again, i was an outsider in the midst of my christian brothers...

DPA CARD
There's what JW call Durable Power of Attorney (DPA) for blood. This is also like a form where every baptized JW has to fill, stating that they'll receive no blood transfusion in case of emergency where they are unconcious or unable to speak. We were told to fill it & carry it along all the time. I never went anywhere without my DPA card. A lot of JW don't take this serious & filling the card could be difficult as most of them don't understand all the trashes in there. Congregations spent minutes educating members on how to fill this card, but it's still confusing. Their no blood transfusion doctrine doesn't really make sense. While they say they don't eat or receive blood in any form, you'll still see them taking blood tonic,syrups,pills etc. If you accept blood transfusion,Jehv will not raise u back to life in the grand ressurection,so they say...

VOW OF POVERTY
JW org teaches it's members to abhor worldly riches. Not just that,some members who are in what they call "Order of fulltime something something..." are required to take a vow (vow of obedience & poverty) to remain poor. I didn't officially make that vow (but was on my way to), but inside my hrt i had determine not to be rich. The 1st time i heard abt such a vow i was so eager to be qualified 4 it. When i look back at it now it stinks. How can a sane human make a pledge to be poor? But such is the power of brainwashing. All special pioneers,traveling overseers,bethelites,international servants,missionaries & their likes have all taken that oath.The vow is written in a form that one has to fill & sign, it contains a lot of senseless pledges (or it make sense to them) but maybe they don't live up to it, a lot of them still lie to the organization & make money out of their service...

AFTER PIONEER SCHOOL
I made up my mind never to pursue worldly things. Just as i was taught, i wanted to use all my time, energy & resources to serve Jehv & his organization. After pioneer school, i had to decide my next step. But then, i knew i will have to need some material things to suport myself as a fulltime minister. I chose to use 2yrs to undergo training on sewing. Since i needed to remain active on Kingdom activity,my boss had to be a JW who undstnds my position & service in the organization. I finally met one & all arrangements were made for me to start my training the following year. Everyone who later came to hear that i chose to be a tailor instead of going to school abhored the idea. What a waste of intelligence! My parents were blamed for such a decision. But, really, it was entirely my decision & not my parent's. To me, Jehovah was pleased with my choice & i think i was happy. More miseries were awaiting me...

What I have come to understand in this life is, not all women will get married. Some will definitely end up unmarried.

And this is a fact. One of the numerous reason is that the population of women is almost 1 billion above that of men.

Not everyone who is following your story is doing so because they want become a JW.

The things you have shared as made it possible to understand the group better and this is good.

When you saw me arguing with Janosky concerning the 70 hours minimum preaching time, why didn't you come in then to make me understand it wasn't for everybody.

You were silemt all through, and not for once coming to clear the air that I misunderstood you In thinking that pioneeringi was for everyone.

Now that another JW has corrected that wrong impression for me ,you have jumped out to tell me what now?
