ONE WEEK IN AMBO
My whole week at Ambo was disappointing. I was expecting the supreme temple of Olumba to be a solemn arena,filled with holiness & awesomeness of the supernatural leader. But it was fill of conflict,delusion,choas,murmuring. The whole week was a program meant for the priests,but many of them were denied entry 'cos they didn't pay their N6k, & they were murmuring & complaining abt the injustice in the Father's Kingdom. There was an apartment outside the HQ that my BM & I lodge. Only BCS Members live in the whole compound.Each of them had one thing or the other to murmur & complained abt the BCS. Topics 4 gossip were: how they have spoilt BCS, Injustice in the Kingdom, Spiritual attacks in Bethels etc. But they trusted that OOO will come to their rescue. I was already fed up & wanted to go back home.I didnt want to ever come back there. But something else made me re-visit the HQ more than a month after...KEEP READING

MaxInDHouse:
Upon all the lies you're stylishly shipping in against God's organization, your own religion dey undercover!
So why can't you also recommend any of your friends? Aren't they sound enough to teach people about God?
I never invited him for Bible study rather to come and ask his question if truthfully he's sincere like Nicodemus who went one on one to ask Jesus questions.
He's an atheist and he has seen exactly what you saw that's why he's interested in asking me questions about the lies you've been spreading about God's organization!

when i am for peace, u r 4 war. Yet u r the most peaceful in this threat. Ok-o. Now i agree that jw is the only true religion. No one else knws God except Jw people. They alone practise the Bible & love one another. So MaxInDHouse can we be friends now?

MaxInDHouse:
Obviously you've noticed the competency in the way JWs handle scriptural topics so you're here to discourage people from considering faith with seriousness. That's why you have to call a human like you "ALMIGHTY" just to show that you're not interested in knowing the truth about God's Kingdom.
No wahala go and worship wherever you please nobody is forcing JWs on your head!

why do u like to be so troublesome? Did i say anything bad in my post? I thought i was recomending u to someone. Why the attack then?

Lukuluku69:
Find time and study the Zoroastrian Faith. I think this was copied by the Europeans. The Zoroastrian has a Fire Temple in which the Fire is never allowed to go off. For them, it serves a purpose but I don't know why Christians adopted this Candle Lighting and other forms of a continuous burning Lamps.

Check the Catholics out too, they burn Candles endlessly too.

Like I said, check out the Zoroastrian Faith, this belongs to them.

ok. I'm checking

This got me laughing this morning. A boy in my neighbourhood wanted to cook this (termites?) with water,as in, he put water in a pot and boil it then add the inscects, like pepper soup.

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:

thanks ma/sir.the english & scientific name is what i'm looking for.

ikemesit4477:
honestly I don't eat it!

ok. We ate them raw back in those days,we didnt bother to wash or fry it!

REASON #12
Broken families/homes/marriages. This is something dat is so annoying abt them. They go around claiming competency in fixing people family problem. How daring! Their individual home is hell. Abuses,violence,conflict are all part of Jw family issues. Yet this hypocrites will come to ur house with a brochure entitled "how to make ur family happy". How can u make another family happy while urs is on fire? Most Jw elders abuse their wife & children. Jw women pretend to be gentle in the kingdom hall but real tigers at home. Children growing in such home often notice this hypocrisy & rebel against the organisation when they grow up. You can call me a liar but i've made my point 4 whoever it concerns

Am sure you will do likewise because Max NL name is not JW, JW is his religious name, initially in the 19th century they call themselves Bible students, and am sure you know that church is not a building, church by definition means congregation of people not a structure, so refer to Max or Janosky as individuals leave their religion alone, which am sure you can't, but if you can then I would know that you mean what you replied to me, attack the individual not the religion, JW's don't defend there Kingdom halls they only defend there religious beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses.

i'm sure u didn't follow this thread from the begining, or u dont read Max & Janosky's posts, or u dont understand them,or else, u r one of them.

MaxInDHouse:
If you're truly interested in knowing then come to my thread "Study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses"

https://www.nairaland.com/6589422/study-bible-jehovahs-witnesses

There you will get answers to whatever question you have, this is another apostate (exjw) pretending to be inquisitive that's why i left his thread.

Thanks!

@Wilgrea7, u r honoured with the opportunity of studying the bible with an almighty theologian/bible scholar named MaxInDHouse. I wish u goodluck in ur bible study program.

Trevor007007:
Guy you lied on this aspect or maybe you don't know anything about the JW's dealings with both the rich and the poor among them, I can tell you of one that happens to a very rich JW brother here in Lagos, how he made the biggest intensional mistake of his live and was disciplined by his elders where he congregates.

There are many more that I can give full details of that are very wealthy, some you might know if I mention a name or two but it will best on my part not to, blaming is not my end game, no man is perfect, if perfect angels can sin against God and become demons who are we imperfect humans, if you become a JW today you can never be perfect, your imperfection will still be with you 100% unhinged.

allright, if its a lie to u. But someone else may see the truth in it

AgirlsNightmAre:
Spiritual encounter, how?

not everyone will understand this but there are those who will. I once met a General Overseer of a prophetic church who was born and raised a Jw.But the Jw doctrines couldnt accomodate his prohetic gift. Also, some people actually have encounters with ghost, ancestral spirit, marine spirits etc. Not everyone believes this anyway. But u knw the Jw teaching on these issues are so vague. Not just everyone were made to be followers of religious doctrines. Some people are naturally endowed (born with) the ability to contact & communicate with the spirit realm, how do u expect them to remain jw if the organisation don't understand them?

AgirlsNightmAre:
Are you a former member? if so you got this right.
There's a particular congregation I heard of a brother heavily involved in politics and a member of a cult group but was still serving as an elder.
If you're not rich Dem no send you, I'm just sick of those people

but they tell u to live a simple life & dont pursue material riches, not so? Listen to them & become a pioneer, use all ur time 4 Jhvh service, sign off from a lucrative job & join fulltime service,simplify ur life...bla bla bla. But tell me, does ur Circuit Overseer stay in a poor pioneer's house when he visits ur cong? Doesnt he prefer the rich ones? Why the hypocrisy?

Courz:
Very confused people. Armaggedon will soon come yet building million dollar project studio. Don't chase riches but you are a Billion dollar Business. Don't go to University but come and work for free for us at Bethel if you are A doctor, nurse, IT professional, Engineer, construction professional, etc. Confusion in the house of Jehovah. Recently in a convention talk, they said reject scholarships and come and work for us for free. God forbid bad thing! I pity JWs that take those 8 buffoons seriously. Jokers!

Sometimes i wonder why Jw people can't see this confusions clearly. Some may see it but loyalty to Jhvh &
his organisation don't allow them make a sound decision. Some are just pretending dat nothing is wrong with Jehovah's organisation

DharmieDhrey:
OP, thanks for the insight.. Ever since I learnt about them, I have always had this negative feeling about them.. They do not represent christianity in any way, whatsoever.. Imagine one claiming his kingdom is here on earth, that is miles away from the foundation upon which christiandom was established.

Thanks 4 following

More stories coming later in the day...

...in the back of the bethel is another table with a lamp. That table could serve as the garden in small bethels. Shoes aren't permited inside the bethel. There are no musical instruments,though they may use microphone on some occasions. Members are expected to wear white inside the bethel.

THE INSIDE OF A BROTHERHOOD BETHEL.
Bethels may be built in different styles & structures,but the inside of every bethel likely has the following:
an alter with a throne. The throne is actually a wooden chair with the words "ooo,the sole spiritual head of the universe" clearly carved out in it. A fence is built around the throne with an entrance secured with padlock & keys. The preacher often stands there to preach. There's a pillow in front of the throne alter covered with a towel & an open bible is placed on it. Above the throne is the picture of OOO and his son (some bethels don't have the son's-Rowland- picture). Between these two pictures u'll see " LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE,LET ALL THE EARTH BE SILENCE...". In front of the throne is another alter (tithe box). There r seats for those who wear turban (a rank in the brotherhood system) just after the tithe box. Then the BMs and Choristers seats are in either side of the throne. There's usually a holy water & anointing oil in front of the alter...

VISITING THE GARDEN
There's a place they call garden (of eden),its located at the back of the hall. A little tentlike structure is erected & decorated. There's a tray & inside it are folded pieces of papers. When they announce that its time to visit the garden of eden,a music is played & people will walk in line to the garden and drop money inside the tray. They'd then pick anyone of the folded papers & go back to their seat. When they open the paper there's a written message in it. The message is said to be "spiritual". Whatever u see there is a message to u from the holy spirit.I visited the garden ones & my message was "THE LORD IS WITH U". I so much loved the idea of God being with me, so i got to chew & swallow the whole piece of paper! My BM showed me her own & ask me to read 4 her & her message was "UR WEALTH IS IN THE MANGER,APPRECIATE THE MANGER WITH PERFUMES". more is coming...

CaptMarvel:
Knocking head 3times! Are you ok at all! Or what is the symbolic meaning of knocking your head?

hey Mr man! Kindly get out of this thread! I dont welcome coconut water heads anymore

SUDAY SERVICE IN THE SUPREME TEMPLE BETHEL
Sunday morning the hall was filled with the fathers children in their different seat according to their titles/position in the church. Different colours of soutane filled the hall. Again, there was a conflict inside the temple of God. The security man & a member were ready to fight & the member wanted 2 go home until others gathered around to settle the dispute. The member finally entered & sat beside me. He instantly joined in praising the father & dancing. Even though i went with my BM 2 service dat morning,i later realized she didnt attend the service but she never told me d reason (there must have been a quarel). conflict/quarel betwn members was an everyday thing inside the supreme temple. But the principal topic of preaching was always love. OOO (Rowland) preached on Sunday wearing red soutane. His sermon was puntuated by music frm the choristers from time to time...... Thank you father (knocks head 3 times and go out)... I'LL BE BACK SHORTLY

Watch Tower robot.

The day people should take you guys serious as christians is when you start using your God given brains to understand the Bible. Not being under the influence of remote from New York.

I'm not sure he/she is a Watchtower society folk. He/she may just be a critic & the type that likes to start a fight

WHO ARE YOU TEMPLEE333
this s surely what everyone in this thread would like 2 knw. Am i a jw? Or a former jw? Or a religion investigator? Well, i might be an active brother in ur congregation,i might be an elder or a CO. Or i may be an outsider,but what i want u all jw to understand is that i knw ur organisation more than the likes of janosky & maxindhouse. Many of u don't know a shit about the organisation u r inside. How many of you know about OATH OF POVERTY? lift up ur hands

REASON #11
CHEATING. The Jw organisation isn't fair at all. But PIMI might not understand it. Ho do u make people spend 70 hours every month roaming the streets to advertise ur organisation without paying them? That's what the 8 Whitemen is doing with Jw regular pioneers. More pity for those who double as pioneer & elder,the work load is too much (non jw may not undstn this). These men will still have to take care of their family's finanial needs. Where do u get the time to do all these? They don't care. The victims may feel they are volunteering 4 Jehvh,but they are being cheated! Some young ones give up secular education & choose pioneering yet they aren't paid. The'd rather use their money to feed dogs in bethel than support the poor pioneers. The pioneers are brainwashed to believe they are being favoured by Jhvh. But the 8 men abuse & cheat them. If u wake up, u will leave them

nice u, welcome

REASON 10
Contradictions & Confusions. The Jws are a bunch of confused fellows. They'd tell u to do one thing today,& the next day expect u to do the opposite. For instance, they discourage material riches & encourage a simple life yet they despice & look down on you when u r not rich. They discourage higher education yet they esteem degree holders & make them favourite speakers. Why do they apply for civil service but refuse to vote? The world is ruled by Satan & God's Kingdom is at hand yet they accumulate wealth,purchase properties. Oh know! They spent a huge ammount of money on building their new headquaters (a 4yrs building project). But if they believe in the sudden end of Satan's World,why all these buildings? Confusion everywhere.

UNDERSTANDING A TRUTH SEEKER
A truth seeker is someone who is tired of useless religious tradition & dogma & has decided to search without any bias
& find out what is real & true. A truth seeker doesn't accept stories & fairy tales, he looks for proves. A truth seeker is not looking 4 religion, he looks for God/ultimate reality. A truth seeker isn't satisfied with beliefs,he wants experience. During my adventure in the BCS, I was (still is) a truth seeker.
