 Crime › What Should I Do To This Criminal? by Templee333(op): 11:36am On Aug 31, 2022 |
This rat has destroyed many costly clothes & shoes in my shop. This rat ate my 950 model generator coil that i use for business & the mechanic charged N7000 for coil winding. Every left over bread & groundnut in my shop are eaten by this little rat. So i caught it this morning & killed it. No, i shouldn't have killed it instantly. I should have took time to torment the heartless criminal.It has cost so many damages that it must pay for. But now i have to think of how to treat its dead body with the utmost of cruelty. Guys how should i torment it?

...All of us who wrote tributes appeared b4 the elders on Sunday after meeting & the burial program was brought b4 us & they told us how serious was the sin of writing a tribute to a dead person.Earlier that morning, i insisted b4 my father that i will tell the truth instead of lying as he told us to. Maybe my dad knew that the issue will affect his position as an elder & threaten me never to come back to his house if i failed to lie as he instructed. So as we sat b4 the elders we all denied that my non witness aunt wrote all the tributes on our behalf without our consent. The elders postponed the case to next week until further investigations... 4 Likes |

A TRIBUTE TO MY GRANDMA (2009) The 1st discipline administered to me after my baptism had to do with writing a tribute to my non witness grandma.Its very common in my side to include in a burial program tributes to the decease.When my grandma was buried in 2009 we as grandchildren wrote tribute. Mine wasn't realy a tribute but an effort to share the hope of resurection with any who might read the tribute. Few days after the burial,we were told to wait after meeting. My father who's one of the elders told us prior to this that the elders are planning to deal with us 4 writing tributes.He told us to lie & say that the tributes weren't written by us...LATER 6 Likes |

Its easy to conclude that the BCS & Eckist are of better behaviour than the JW. While i was relating my experience with the former 2, i received no insults,except frm non members. But here the JW (who claim to have the best behaviour in the whole world) cant just stop throwing insults at someone who doesnt give them any attention. I wish they could just practise what they preach. 6 Likes |

ABOMINABLE WORDS There are some words that JW consider as "sinful",these include: praise the lord-halleluia; glory be to Jesus; happy christmas; happy new year; if u say any of the words above in the gathering of JW,u'll definitely attract a scornful look even though a sane christian can't figure out what is wrong in saying them. But wait,why is it so easy for words like "you fool", "stupid", "mumu" & many other abusive words to flow frm the mouth of a JW even when their bible clearly condemns the use of such words? Do these people realy believe their bible? I had constant argument with them over the use of abusive speech & curses. The ones I knew insisted that we are imperfect & must continue to err in words until paradise. They don't feel remorse or even want to ever change their inborn traits. Yet they can quickly point out the faults of others...COMING LATER 4 Likes |

MUSIC We were taught not to sing or listen to religious songs of other churches.But what i didn't understnd was why JW had no probem singing & listening to "worldly song" like Timaya & P-square,no matter how dirty the lyrics were.In a JW traditional marriage or Wedding receptions we were free to play worldly songs except Christian hymns & praises.A christian artist is considered a satanist. If ur radio or tv station starts a church song or program u had to change the station.But when 2face,J martins played,there's no problem. That issue caused arguments between me & other brothers many times because i didn't welcome the idea of accepting worldly songs but reject christian songs. JW loved & enjoyed naija music more than their Kingdom melodies & i didn't like it that way.In their audio player lists u'd see naija music more than their kingdom song. Kingdom songs were dull & uninteresting to them. But i couldn't keep up with the hypocrisy of it all. I had to learn to love Kingdom songs... 6 Likes |

QUESTION YOUNG PEOPLE ASK Since i grew up to be much different frm the people in my environment,i had no confidant.People around me didn't take spiritual things serious so i didnt seek their advice on how to live my life or make decisions,rather,i turned to JW publications to seek advice on how to live my life.I read the bible everyday & had finished the whole bible frm cover to cover many times.The JW book " questions young people ask,answers that work" volume 1 & 2,were my best advisers. I made sure to read books & magazines that were published even b4 i was born & i knew "Jehovah's will" more than the average JW. Sometimes i went into a quiet place in a nearby bush to read & ponder Jhvh's thought. I devour many experiences of brothers & sisters who served Jehvh with their whole heart & wanted to be like them.I ignored what everyone said & listened to the Faithful & Discrete Slave alone.I made many strange decisions because of what i fed my mind with.I was a stranger among my people... 4 Likes |

SOME SECRETS WE KNEW We knew some deep truth that weren't revealed to other churches because they didnt worship the true God.The identities of GOG OF MAGOG,BABYLON THE GREAT,THE MAN WITH INK HORN IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL,WILD BEAST OF REVELATION & ITS SEVEN HEADS,LITTLE FLOCK AND OTHER SHEEP were unknown to non JW because they didnt serve the true God. But since we humbled ourselves,Jehovah revealed them to us. But if u look at it,all the terms above in capitals has been explained & reexplained differently frm time to time by the GB. All the explanations are meaningles & irelevant,yet the JW think they have some special knowledge that others don't have. I took time to study those shit so & felt special for knowing the sacred secret of God. 4 Likes |

ALWAYS GUILTY I don't knw if other JW felt that way but i always thought i was a sinner even when i didn't knw the exact sin i'd commited. Even tho many JW didnt give serious attention to all the "sins" that JW taught us to avoid,i took them serious.I wasn't so competent in telling lies like other brothers because it made me feel guilty.I didnt cheat on exams because we were taught not to do so & when i told other JW at school to stop cheating they considered me a fool. Despite all my effort to lead an exemplary life as a JW i still felt guilty as if i was worse than others... 4 Likes |

...after my baptism i was made to undstnd that i'm no longer a child,i could be disfellowshiped or reproved if i broke any of "Jehovah's law". There were many privileges of service opened to a baptized brother in the cong. U could rove mic or control the sound system; read paragraphs in cong bible study & watchtower study; become an aux or regular pioneer,etc. There were many brothers in my cong so privileges were hot cake. I didn't bother competing with them because relationship with Jehovah was more important than any privilege.I was far to brilliant & answered tough questions in meetings correctly.Also,I was a skillful reader who handled bible reading with dramatic effect. I was the centre of everyone's attention & that meant envy & jealousy for other young ones in the cong. I once heard that the Cordinator said in their elders meeting that i was fit to be a MS if not for my age. "if only he is a bit older",he said... 4 Likes |

...Our old baptism pool wasn't in front of the platform as it is now. It was located far frm the auditorium & a small building erected beside it where we changed our clothes. The baptism pool was just a swimming pool with a different name,only that we were told not to swim inside it. Photographers were present & flashed their camera light here & there. When I stepped out of the water i was snapped but i didn't look back at the photographer. Brothers & sisters shook my hand & told me "welcome". If only i knew what i was getting myself into! 4 Likes |

...baptism candidates often sit at auditorium B, directly opposite the platform on Saturday morning. I was told that ATTENDANTS standing beside the the baptism candidates are monitoring their behaviour & could report ur behaviour to the office & disqualify u 4 baptism even few minutes b4 the real thing. So that very morning I behaved myself & tried my best not to sleep so that i won't be disqualified. I can't remember anything that was said in the baptism talk.My mind wasn't at ease that day. It was until we were told to stand up & answ the 2 questns that i came alive again. After replying 2 resounding "yes" & the prayer that followed,the music started.It was either 206 or 207 in the songbook "sing praises to Jehovah". A tingling sensation ran down my spine when the ATTENDANT approched me & said, "pick up ur bag & get ready,we're abt to move" The song was "To Whom Do U Belong" I picked the plastic bag that had my clothes inside & joined the line. We proceeded to the baptism pool... 3 Likes |

MY BAPTISM It's a mandate in JW that parent should teach them the truth.Thus,both father & mother had study the bible with me for years b4 they said i should baptize. I don't realy knw why i felt reluctant abt baptism then.Whatever the case,my father took us (my elder bro & me) to the elders to interview us so as to knw if we're qualified 4 baptism. My mom was present in the interview also.After few questions,the elders decided that I was qualified while my brother wasn't because he dressed like worldly people to meetings. I had to answer numerous questions frm the "organize" book. The questions were divided into 3 sections & 3 different elders were assigned to guide me in each section the question & answr task. District convention was at hand & i had to get ready for my baptism.I can't really recall the convention's theme but it must have been "godly obedience", or maybe not. What i can remember very well is the date: 22/11/2008... 2 Likes |

PRAYER When people say that JW don't pray,it's because of some rigid rules that they place on prayer.You get to understand that JW don't close their eyes or say Amen if a non JW prays.They don't pray when preaching frm house to house.An unbaptized JW cant pray when baptized JW are around.A sister can't pray in the presence of brothers.Most JW pray only when they want to eat. Many don't even knw how to pray because it's the elders & MS that often pray in the Kingdom Hall. One of the things that made me diff frm other JW was that i prayed so often.There was a time i was laughed at by a group of brothers because i said we should pray b4 studying the watchtower at our lodge (not Kingdom Hall), they looked at me as someone who didn't know anything. One of them asked: do we use to pray when we want to conduct morning text? Is it not after the text that we pray? Why should watchtower be different? JW have so many rules abt prayer,yet they will tell u that u are free to pray at all times... 4 Likes |

...I hardly made frnds because i considered all non JW as bad companions.Inside the cong, i didn't fit in because my lifetyle & preferences were diff frm most JW. I wasn't the type who hide my identity as a JW,so i was knwn everywhere i went. School was constant argument when i tried to do what the JW call "informal witnessing" & student gathered around to attack me with questions & i dealt with them tirelessly. That was how i earned the reputation of a "young pastor". Since people don't like to make frnds with "holy holy" person,I was so lonely & sometimes despised even among my fellow JW. I earned the reputation of a "young pator" in my schl & community.Since the title "pastor" is frowned upon in JW, i had to correct them that i'm a publisher not a pastor. It's good to note that the founder of JW appeared in Newspapers as "Pastor Russel" & yet JW today have a bad feeling abt the title. 4 Likes |

GROWING UP AS A JW I was raised up to believe that the bible is the word of God & that it alone has the final say in everything.Worse still, I believed that it's only JW publications that explain the bible correctly.As a result,I decided to follow the direction of The GB by using their publications to have a personal bible study ev'ry week.I was the type who studied & swallowed what the JW publications said without questioning them. I knew & applied what the GB taught more than my local elders & those who've been JW b4 me.I considered bro/sis who didn't take the GB teachings seriously as weak. Honestly speaking,most of the JWs that i knew were hypocrites who preached what they didn't practice. I was totally diff from all JW that i knew & they all noticed that. I wanted 2 b the perfect example of a "Jehvh's servant" who didn't use imperfection to spoil my relationship with Jehv. I was the type who felt guilty for ev'ry little mistake i made.I rarely went anywhere without my bible... 4 Likes |
