OChimex:


When you hear conform, it means, way of life that is bad.. or widely frowned at by the large society or seen as bad. Witness follow societal norms and culture that are not harmful or against the Bible and widely acceptable.
In the US dreads, tattoos, earrings are worn by male doctors, teachers, bankers, lawyers, professors. But try wear am in Nigeria, your own family will disown you and tag you irresponsible.
So Nigeria society see those as bad and as such, they wouldn't want to be tagged bad

So you saying your brothers in America and UK can wear earrings and tattoos and have previlages or preach 😂🤦

OChimex:



They wore bears before then at some point, wearing bears became a trademark for gangs and irresponsible men, so most business and society and corporate organizations chose to shave, seeing that as,a mark of responsible men, so in line with that widely acceptable norm, the witnesses conformed.
Now that that Era has passed as bearded men now hold offices, and are not seen as irresponsible, now their members are free to wear bears again.

Just like now in America, bankers, doctors, lawyers wear bold tattoos and they see no wrong in that, but wear tatoo in Nigeria as a doctor or lawyer or teacher and see if yourself will want to go to a such professional for consultation

I thought you people don't conform to worldly standards and you are separate from the world? So why now saying you conforming to the world?😂😂
Double standards.

The politicians and business world are now accepting ear ring for men, does it mean you will soon accept wearing ring for men? Especially in UK n America😂

It reminds me of what happened in the first century, most congregations were looking forward to Jewish Christians as those who knows best so in every congregation the Jews keep insisting that if you're not circumcised the privilege of service or oversight can't be given to you, and many disciples who walked with Jesus were also of this opinion.
WHY?
Christ was circumcised, the twelve apostles were circumcised, the first set of thousands who embraced Christianity at Pentecost were circumcised and all prostyles who converted to Judaism before becoming Christians were circumcised so who will say it's not compulsory?

The matter almost divided the organization of God's people in the first century so they sent Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem for what should be done.

After much deliberations on scriptures, Jesus' teachings and begging Jehovah for guidance through the Holy Spirit they came to an agreement that circumcision is optional.

This was how the matter came to an end and all members of the organization continued as one big family again whether circumcised or not! Act 15:1-31

So if anyone is surprised at the way modern day worshipers of Jehovah handle matters today it's their cup of coffee i fully understood what is happening!

How dare you compare the issue of circumcision with wearing beards? This is pure gaslighting and other form of manipulation.
The issue of circumcision was already a law and a required by God which he made with Abraham which was clearly stated in the old testament.

While the No beards was baseless and unscriptural; formed based on personal opinion of J.F Rutherford, for he was a beardless man and hated his members wearing beard. He took over after the death of Charles Taze Russell and imposed that law and even had to rename it from Bible students, to JW as we know it today.

The only place mention the Bible about "Beard" is Leviticus 19:27 where God commanded the isrealites not to cut their beards.( In addition to other commands,they
Are not to eat animal blood.)

So why did they hold strongly on "No Beards no previlages" when it had no scriptural backing? Now you people are changing it say it's optional as if it was a law before. Comparing it to circumcision. Oh Lord!!!🤦🤦

oteneaaron:
What a wonderful new light!

So we can now wear beards?

Wow!!

All thanks to the Great Governing Body!

😂😂😂

I like this editing, I will download it asap😂👍

Leaving JW doctrine and minding my business.

frankbonus:



Please may be you need toake research on the total numbers of Jehovah's witnesses in the last ten years and now, compare which one is greater ? Then research total numbers of congregations worldwide in the last ten years and now , then check also total numbers of kingdoms halls and assembly hall in the last ten years and compare to now, please bury your shame and post on this platform what you find out .
It will come to conclusion that your comments are base on personal grudges or hate you have for them.

Oga, his talking about Western side of the world which could be true. Most of these numbers you people get from increased members are coming from Africa and Asia.

Efna55:
It was never a law that JW can't keep beard, stop the hate..

Go tell that to your Elders and circuit overseers and let's see if they won't call you to that their small room for questioning😂😂

MaxInDHouse:


It's due to Western culture!
Most of our brothers look up to the appearance of brothers living in our bethel homes and members of the Governing Body that they don't wear beards, this is because for some decades wearing beards has been view as indecent in the Western culture while the East takes it as a crime for men to shave their beards.
Brothers in the Eastern world like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and other Arab countries finds it difficult to walk freely in their communities so letters keep rolling in on this matter that's why the Governing Body have to address it.
Now Kalid in Iran can walk freely in his area without being ostracized as an infidel while i and other JWs throughout the world still view him as a responsible brother in our spiritual family.

May you have PEACE!

Wrong, JW members where seeing it as an identity to distinguish themselves from non JW. It all start from J.F Rutherford who did not like beards. That's why you can never see in JW book pictures their members putting on beards.never!!
In their Watchtower, newcomers where pictured and depicted as having beards but when they convert, they shave it off.

Why do you think non of Governing Body are having beards in any of their picture and Video broad cast.

The only reason they are now saying to their member not to criticize any member is because, it been a debate for years which had no scriptural backing to stop any Christains from putting on beards.

correctguy101:



Exactly...

As like back in AJ, there's this man who was said to be an elder in JW. He had moustache like Steve Harvey's.

And I've seen some younger guys spotting goatees.

The majority just like clean shave like this daddy. Even if na beards go make me go heaven, I no go do am..

Oga are you a JW. if you are, how many congregation will you walk into and see their men putting on beards. They are all bald shaved.
A young man in one of the congregation in Portharcoult was told that if he doesn't not shave his beards and afro hair that he won't be allow to take any congratulational responsiblity.

I know you may try to defend your JW believes. but pointing out one person as saying it's allowed is wrong. Just be truthful No one is above mistakes.
JW governing body and it's members can never admit they make mistakes, Even when they make corrections they will say it's an improved understanding of scriptures.

Courz:


What country have you seen this? There are very few instances where a congregation allows Beards but in very few countries.The General rule is as a JW Male, you aren't allowed to Keep Beards and be an Elder or ministerial servant. You can't give talks as well. I have heard this rule does not apply in very few locations but in the majority of the rest of the world, keeping Beards are forbidden. Even in Nigeria, it is strictly forbidden. You will never see a JW MALE with Beards here and even if JWs see another with beard, they don't hesitate to tell him to shave it immediately. This is why this change of this rule has many reactions.

They will say keeping beards will offend unbelievers who don't like men with beards. That one of their excuse. They forgot that beards ought to be a personal choice.

Even now that their men are now allowed to keep beards. They will still not wear or keep beards because of fear of being judged by other members. Especially here in Africa and Nigeria to be precised, thats why they are very pretentious people.
It all started from J.F Rutherford who banned it for no scriptural reason

Passionnn:
Stop broadcasting falsehood.
I know a number of witnesses, even elders who give talks at assemblies who grow beards, even goatees. Stop the hate broadcast

Lier. Even the so called circuit overseer then criticize it's members for wearing beards.
It all started when J.F Rutherford who was beardless banned JW from looking like Charles Taze Russell who was the founder, which was then Known as Bible students. It was when J.F Rutherford renamed it JW that he banned them from wearing beards

Look at you, you are never told the truth. Because information is coming from one body.The reason they are "Now" letting members who wants to keep beards is because their is no scriptural backing to stop Christains from putting on beards.

The isrealites were told after captivity from Egypt,one of Gods command for them was to keep beards and abstain from eating animal blood.
🚨It should never have been banned, just keep it low and clean.

Why is this admin post his old pictures. We need to see his current birthday picture

No, however, in the U.S. the first thing a cop asks you when stoped are 'licence and registration please'.

USA n Nigeria is not the same law. I don't think they have FRSC agency hence the police is assigned to do that

TheFinesseKid:
True the only Burna boy music I can relate to is "Like to party, no fit vex for you" "monster you made" and one other one he did with a Cameroonian I think. He's quickly losing substance. Nigerians no kukuma Sabi quality music normally. If na only me dey naija a lot of these artists go still dey where dem dey dey press keyboard.

That's because they know the street will jumb into any rubbish song they release.

If not for these "streaming farms" they pay Money to for views, they won't be getting up to 6millions views.

rottenPussy:
Timeline 1:42: Why flaunt a nude lady while saying “lailah ilaha illallah”, makes no sense.

Is not like I don't like
Naija afro beats, but the truth is they are not even making sense this days. Just high frequency beat and repeating meaningless phrases all the time. This particular song is mid to me.
The only songs and album that I like from Burnaboys was the one that won him Grammy" Twice as tall"that has songs title like;
*Monster you made
*Real life
*Wonderful etc.

Societal pressure.
The kind of pressure society put on single guys sometimes is unbearable.

People will look down on you, deny you opportunities, call you gay/impotent/irresponsible, constantly frustrate you, question you in every family gathering, sideline you, cut half the benefits apportioned for you just because you are not a family man.

Na society dey put food for their table?😂

Curiouscity:
Why do Nigerians expect things to change, yet we still do things the old way?

Someone just sent me a link for one of the states' organized Entrepreneurship Accelerator Programme (EAP). A quick look at the form, I noticed that the request the following:
* Marital Status
* Number of Children / age of children
* Religion and Denomination

What on earth is the usefulness of these information for a training program?

This is also of all employers in Nigeria. In fact, most CV (resumè) formats in Nigerian public and private sectors have space for above information. Please What is the usefulness of these usefulness information?

This is just formality to know your level in the society. That's how Doctors in the hospitals do ask patients Marital statues, job title and next of kin. The one way shock me na what phone do you use
Stupide country!

All those hideous and devious extremist arabs don't know what they are playing with ,they are all fools making mundane noise,amidst reality that ISRAEL IS NOT AN ORDINARY NATION,IT IS A CHOSEN NATION BY GOD ALMIGHTY,AS A REFERENCE POINT FOR WHOLE WORLD,WHERE GOD CHOSE TO SAVE HUMANITY. I pity Iran,yemen,syrians etc.for their invisible ignorance.

Oga, close your mouth and go do historical research of the ancient isreal and today isreal. They are not the same people.The Biblical isrealites where never Caucasians.

How can you curse Whom GOD has BLESSED!

Nations and people should tread Carefully with the nation of ISRAEL.
ISRAEL is GOD ALMIGHTY Signet on the Earth.

Just like Balaam who was Hired by Balak to Curse ISRAEL . His Donkey Had to talk to Him to make him understand that the assignment he was Hired for was a very Dangerous one.

The Covenant is not a Joke.
The Covenant is a strong covenant.
The Covenant is a life Covenant .

He knows the only thing he can do now is to move to APC

Fubara has the PDP structure under is palm

This is all games, Wike is looking for an exuse to join APC. His using Fubara to archive that. All fake dispute.

Just call her and give her one hotel location to meet you and smash her. After the doings, leave her for that hotel and block her call.
No give her shishi....

Na to smash her and dumb her. What else is she bringing to the table?

ottersberger:


You mean:

Obi / Kwankwaso
Obi / Atiku

That's the knockout formula.

Atiku ought to engage from the shadows going forward, so:

Obi / Kwankwaso will do it if the arrogant Kano man finally realizes that the man he wants to deputize him is a much bigger shoe size than he will ever become.

OGa, APC don high jack this country, but una no know. From INEC to the judiciary, all high jacked. You will be shocked to know that they already have softcopy of 2027 presidential results and figures prepared. That's why Tinubu don't care if Nigerians will vote him or not.
Look at the last presidential election and Governorship election; especially the recent Imo election with inflated figures, where votes counted are higher than registered voters😂

The higher the number of registered voters the easier it is for them to rig vote.That why INEC chairman scam Nigerians that they should come out in mass and register that vote will count.😂

Hathor5:
Barbaric.

It teaches the kid fear but not respect. It teaches to avoid punishment but not what is right and wrong and why. They lose trust in you too. And you miss plenty teaching opportunities.

Shutup what do you know about raising kids. It's her child which she carried for 9months.
E.g if the child stole money from the mothers bag or meat, without that punishment and fear of it, he would still do it again, cos he lacks that mental maturity of wrong and right. But if he remembers the beating he won't do it again even when no one is watching.

This country's resource base cannot sustain the population. It's better we divide as soon as possible!

Oga, Resources is not the problem but the management. Do you know how much we make from selling crude oil annually? No body is talking about the solide mineral mine in the North. These revenue have all been diverted to different personal pockets.

Kudos to you brother , instead of deporting him allow him pay child support, he didn’t commit bigamy . This guy is preaching the gospel of polygamy big ups I’m impressed 😁

You see how oyibo is quick to arrest a person for polygamy but will be quick to call LGBT human right and force it down our throat.
