Catholics and other people including Muslims do not accept your your religious beliefs. It is rooted in paganism, pyramidology, spiritism, propaganda (lying virtually about about every religion especially the doctrines of Christendom), false prophecy (saying the world was going to end in 1874, 1914, 1925 and 1975), evil thoughts (preaching billions of non Jws being slaughtered by your God in Armageddon), murderous activities ( blood transfusion and shunning) and most importantly false man made doctrine based on assumptions (saying that the only way to salvation in the modern world or 21st century is by joining watchtower).

Stop playing the victim card here. You don't have to say you care if the person puts himself on a do not call list for us to really know you don't care. It's his house and his life.

I laugh in swahilli. I backing out here. I only wish to express my quota, the the fact remains, jehovah witnesses a far better in many ways. I have made inquiry, studied, research through the bible, I haven't seen anything wrong in all you say. I have travelled across the continents
Nothing wrong with their pattern of medical care such as blood transfusion. It's the best. Go to Britain, UK, Sweden, bloodless surgeries is the best. Many people are even adopting bloodless surgeries. Nigeria is backward in everything, nothing works here. The medical care and facilities are archaic. I have come across several doctors here in nigeria not jehovah witnesses who practices bloodless surgeries. They will even tell you right on time.

Nothing wrong with Armageddon, it's in the bible. It's the war of a God almighty. Armageddon is synonymous to mountain of meggido (Hebrew). Where literal wars were fought. Since War of Almighty God is not only against wicked humans but also demons even Satan, Armageddon is fitting- meaning total destruction of all opposers.

Whereas, is different from the malicious lies of hellfire and heaven. Even king Solomon who was blessed with wisdom, knowledge, fame, power, material possession etc. even compared animals life cycle to that of humans, eventually concluding what befall animals happen to human (Eccles 3:18,19) no superiority over animals. All dies, all comes from the dust n return to the dust. In contracts to false teaching that man dies, the he faces eternal punishment or go to heaven to be singing n enjoyin life, building mansion. Yet the bible speaks of resurrection. If they are being punished or building mansion and partying or enjoying in heaven, what's the purpose of resurrection?

Before you were born, were you the one that chose where to be born or to be born in nigeria?
Certainly not.
God did the selection. Jehovah witnesses practice n follow bible teaching. No dispute about that. Anyone among them that remain faithful to the end God will pick from them (God sees the heart, no human does- the heart is evil and treacherous, who can see it?- God)

Among non-JW, anyone that obey God's commandment and keep it faithfully to the end n merit God's approval, he will picks them. Pagans who never had the privilege but there heart is clean God's will pick them.
Even, Lydia the prostitute in the bible was saved because of her faith. She was a sinner in the beginning but her faith saved her in the end.
God's see beyond the physical eye.that's y the bible say there will be a resurrection of both the righteous n unrighteousn. Even resurrection of the wicked for judgment. (Act 5:24,25)

When you move with good people there is every probability that they would exact good influence on you. If you move with bad ones they can also influence you negatively. If you move with intelligent friends you might see yourself as intelligent or potential intelligent person.

Same can be applied to jehovah witnesses. They strive hard in this crooked world to please their God jehovah and everyone who associate with them strictly to imitate jehovah, keeps is commandment n live a life well pleasing to him.
Hence
, they always see themselves as servants of God who will inherit/ live in God's Kingdom. In the mist of so many self acclaimed Christians
who claimed (Christendom -a term used for false christians who deviated from God's laws even welcome amoral practices such as: fornication, adultery, idolatry, given head blowjobs, supporting conflict, violence wars corruption extortion, homo n bisexuality etc even common among pastors, most reverend, most holy etcs) but claiming to be God servants etc. But when they are exposed they claiming we shouldn't forgets they're humans too like us .
Ever in the scriptures, the Apostles didn do that . Apostle Peter and Paul had a disagreement in the scriptures, when corrected by Paul, he never justify himself in the bible.


I also realize you're here to look at flaws of jehovah witnesses, then you capitaliseon it and use it againSt them. If you wanna grow n acquire knowledge n stop looking for mistake where there's non. If you have a friend who's good at maths, you're also good but you need enough information from him but he can't speak in English fluently, would you learn anything by looking at his flaws ?
No
To acquire Info, you overlook is spoken English n focus on what he has for. The info you need, you hold it dear 5o you, those you don't need you simply discard it


Pls note
I am not a perfect man, sinner not here to look at flaws or support anybody but to express my Quota.
Good day

The early Christians had their churches in their houses.

No dispute about that

Deadlytruth:
The problem JWs have is the tendency to pick a verse and treat it in isolation of the rest parts of the Bible thereby giving interpretations that are out of context thus making the Bible appear incoherent to unbelievers.
With the way you have just quoted Acts 5:42 to defend your sentiments without taking cognizance of the already mentioned Luke 10:7 which appears contradictory, an unbeliever genuinely seeking the truth would be confused and just dismiss the Bible as a cock and bull story.
See why Christianity is looking more and more unacceptable each day?

Please go and read from chapter 2 so that you get a grasp of the circumstances surrounding what happened in the verse you referenced. Judging from the context of the previous three chapters, those visited at home were already believers, hence weren't undergoing fresh proselytization for which house to house visits were forbidden by Christ Himself.

As for the bolded: you are wrong altogether.
Your accusations here are actually inverted because it is well known that it is the JWs that have for years formed the habit of preaching out of malice, hatred, jealousy' and the intention to ridicule other Christians. Your magazines are full of hate messages against other Christians. Your magazines are not ready for publication if you have not created an article to pass judgements on other Christians particularly Catholics. Why not join Catholics if you can't beat them? Have your own attacks on other Christians been able to stop them either, despite they don't waste spaces in their own magazines to reply you? It takes a hate filled people to suspect hate in others. Out of the abundance of your own hearts you have spoken hatred, castigation, malicious publications against other Christians and called them names. How are the purveyors of hatred and divisiveness seeing same in others? If it appears to you that some of the doctrines of other Christians are wrong, is that enough for you to accuse them of worshipping a false God? Were the Christians in Asia Minor churches not in error at different times until Paul would come around to correct them again? Did that mean that each time they were sincerely ignorant of the scriptures, they were automatically worshipping a false God? And who told you that you yourselves are better custodians of the scriptures above everyone else?
Even if you think you are, are you not rather supposed to join them in interdenominational conferences and point it out to them rather than begin to castigate them before unbelievers? Are you yourselves perfect and faultless? And by the way how many of your own glaring faults have you ever acknowledged?
Of course the way it appears in your eyes that your organization follows the Bible strictly is the same way it appears to all other Christians that their own churches too strictly follow the Bible. Shouldn't it have therefore been ideal for every Christian group to meet on a round table regularly to rob minds towards clarifying one another? But your organization is always too self opinionated and standoffish to see sense in that.

God, with all his wisdom and omniscience called onto the ignorant man in Isiah Chapter 1 saying; "Come let us reason together......". What knowledge does man really posses to reason together with God? But God still called him out to rub minds with. But unfortunately, sinful and ignorant men today proudly claim they alone are knowledgeable enough to interpret the Bible correctly without the need to rub minds with others. Which denomination is most notorious in this regard? Your guess is as good as mine.
And remember that you broke away from these other Christians. Why couldn't you remain with them and rather die trying to correct the heresies you thought you observed in them? Paul the Apostle had the power, the clout, the knowledge, etc required to break away from the Jerusalem Temple for refusing to abandon the apostasy of Judaism for Christianity, but Paul decided to remain a member of that temple and die trying to make them cast of their heretic beliefs despite the enormous persecution he suffered repeatedly in their hands. Wouldn't it have rather been easier for him to just go and form his own religion and start recruiting new followers whose minds he would poison against the temple in Jerusalem? But he never did. Whenever he returned to Jerusalem he always visited the temple to try correcting their doctrines however much it looked futile to keep trying.

Bro,I am not here to argue or make destructive criticism. What I don't appreciate is that bro in question who continued to entertain your discussion.
You self read that act now. If for instance I am a witness n I come to your house to preach, if you entertain me I will stay. If you offer me water I might drink. If you don't accept me then I will continue from house to house looking for who will accept me (preaching ). The Bible at no time never say Christian can't not preach to Christian. So what's is the big deal . Ever malachi 3:16 says those in fear of the Lord spoke to each other and a book of remembrance was opened for those In fear of the Lord." So what's the ish.

You don't like them. It's not a must. Others like them it's not a big deal either. You can put it on your sign post no jehovah witnesses allowed here because their doctrines is not acceptable by you nobody cares.
I don't hate Catholic in person but I don't accept their religious believes. It's rooted in paganism of all kinds. Even Muslims criticise them. Their bible is even more than 66 books of the holy scripture.

Deadlytruth:
Pride, arrogance and carnal mindedness is when one refuses to heed scripture-based corrections but terms it jealousy.
The Bible is against house to house preaching, so you can't claim you are doing the right thing by getting involved in it.
You either accept that you are wrong or prove us wrong with superior evidence from the same Bible. Is the Bible no longer our ultimate guide?

Bro, permit me to come inhere. The Bible is not against house to house preaching.
Read Acts 5:42. And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: "Jesus is the Messiah."
All I see in this thread is nothing but malice, hatred, jealous and ridicule for Jehovah witnesses. 'Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks'.

It's not a must you accept their teaching. If you continue to attack them, it won't stop them. They follow the bible strictly. Besides, if you think they're not doing enough or the method of teaching is not appropriate, or there are not preaching in some lands go there, preach there and device your and do your own thing.
'If you can't join them, then beat them'


He that thinks he's standing should be aware he does not fall.

two ladies from jw came to my house for evengelism.. I wasn't in the mood for argument so I simply asked them to start with a word of prayer, what I know they hardly do, they left with style with a promise of coming back. They never came back I think they will avoid my room

Bro, is it a must they pray. It's free will. Is it all the time jesus teach the crowd that he prayed.
When did the crowd complained jesus didn't started with prayer. whether you entertain them or not they loss nothing.

Bro, cryptocurrency is the future, don't fail to invest. In the next 5 years half of the world would be using crytocurrencies.

Every organisation has it ethics. When you're in the court you abide by the code of that court. If you're going to the mosque or church, then you abide by your faith. How would it be if a celestial church member wears their white apparel with no shoes n go to the court room that he wanna learn how work is done there-in. Would it be appropriate? No of course.
Besides this is a product of western education not Islamic education.
When you're in Rome, you behave like Romans. Nigerian's are very religious, yet they're hypocrite.
That serve's her right.
