You know you are right, like every other person i also think they deserve the sideir prayers and piousness are in vain. Zeal without knowledge.

hmm i dont know about that but there are churches who bow down before images that is made after God,there are those enters the church with no scarf and have different gold necklaces all on their body yet the bible condemned these things,there are those who have turned the church a place to compete for who is richer thereby making the church a market place which you know is contrary to Christ's teachings but am worried that its only this particular Christian body that is treated with so much disdain,why is that.
I want you to read about the holy roman empire not the Roman empire we all know. am an Anglican but I tell you there are so many things I see in my church that the bible condemns
do you also know that being a witness gets you killed in Nazi Germany why

Truly, Jehovah witnesses have a lot of good and positive things to them which other Christians should emulate. Nevertheless, their evil sides are worse! They are extremist!

If your own Mother who brought you into this world or your twin with whom you shared a placenta and DNA type is a Jehovah Witness and you are not, expect them to prefer a complete stranger or foreigner who is a JW than you. Is this not madness?
When your wedding day comes, your own mother who is a JW will not attend that wedding as long as you are not a JW.
They never attend other people's churches or collect other people's materials but expect you to attend theirs and collect theirs, what kind of hypocrisy is that?

If you were once a JW and you backslide, not to even talk of leaving the fold. You are ostracized from your family, friends and everybody and treated like an outcast. For God's sake, what is the difference between this and a cult? Had it been JW believe in bloodshed, they would have been worse than Islamic extremism.

The worse of their practices is rejection of blood transfusion. I have seen JW people I knew (especially women) die at childbirth or an accident when they loose a lot of blood and the only solution to help them live is blood transfusion and they reject it and die instead.

I swear if my daughter or sister marries a JW, I will mourn her and forget her from that very day. I wouldn't even wait for that to happen.

Abeg, I thank God for we Pentecostals. We are very free with each other, we attend each other's churches, we intermarry each other. We don't discriminate or judge others (except for the Deeper life people). We live freely. JW are not free. It's like they are living in bondage.

You say it as it is. The Jw are modern day Pharisees. They feel they are better than everyone else as is evident in this thread.

They've been taught they have the truth, even though when this said 'truth' is put to the test it fails woefully.

Doubts and disagreement with the ever changing doctrine cannot be expressed . Else they'll be tagged a dissent and a judicial committee setup. It's in their shepherd the flock of God elders hand book. Many members don't even know this book exists.

Their 'truth ' is ever changing. Which they tag light getting brighter.

Please read www.jwfacts.com so that u can understand their core history and doctrine and see How To Help them. They are living in the best prison ever built. Mental prison.

TemmyT002:


Of course
I am not a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses and I would rather prefer dealings with Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims than other Christians.

Who you are and who you choose to deal with is none of my business. I have only stated the fact about you people

generationz:
Yes, they preach and encourage their members to study the Bible but I know three Jehovahs witness elders who are confirmed Jazzmen. Two don't hide it at all. One does but you'll see him digging his compound today and burying that tomorrow.


This is because:

1. The average witness hardly prays compared to even Jesus and the early church.

Matthew 26 vs 40.
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Couldn't you men keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.

Yes, Jesus was praying for one hour before he returned to his disciples then he went back again to pray for another hour TO RECEIVE STRENGTH


Prayer is the only way a Christian can receive strength. Any Christian organization that doesn't
teach it's members how to stand in the place of prayers for long hours ALONE should be checked.

Paul: Acts 9 vs 8 -12

8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.

10 In Damascus, there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, “Ananias!”

“Yes, Lord,” he answered.

11 The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision, he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”.

Even Paul as a baby Christian knew the importance of persistently banging on heavens door to get results. Remember the story Jesus told of the corrupt Judge and the persistent widow? I can't go into depth as to the power of prayer now because it is a vast topic.

2. If you want to know a real Christian don't ask him to quote scriptures and him about the Holy Spirit.

Jehovah's witnesses have bastardized the person of the Holy Spirit. They call him Gods active force when Jesus Christ clearly referred to the Holy Spirit as a "He" and "Him"

John 16 vs 7-8
. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send HIM to you. 8 When HE comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment:

Vs 12.

12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

Do you refer to an active force as He? Do you refer to electricity, lightning, thunder, rain as He?

Even Jehovah's witnesses couldn't alter that part.




3. They know scriptures, yes but ask an average Jehovah's witness what is your opinion about this scripture as revealed to you by the Holy Spirit, they will stare at you like groundnut.

The regurgitate what they have been taught by Charles T. Russell their founder.

As the Bereans showed us by example scriptures taught must be open for questioning and research at all times. They are far worse than Catholics when it comes to their herd mentality but they don't know.


Now, to their good side, I don't think I have seen a religious org. as united as them. All their building works are done by members.

Yes, I used to be a witness so that's why I can point out their loopholes.

Have you ever come across personification as a figure of speech? "The river claps its hands", giving human attributes to non living things. Saying He or Him doesn't erode the fact that a spirit is a force!

Good research you did there.

This is not entirely true. My younger sister and her fiancé are JW, she lives under my roof and she has been a JW for about 3 years now she never cut any family tie with myself or our much younger sister, our parents or her friends. She’s the only one in our family that’s a JW so what you’re saying is baseless.

drips8:
The JWs are not allowed to think for themselves or question the rules because outside thoughts are said to be from the devil.
JWs have to disown family or friends whoever leave the faith and cut them off completely.
They have also had a lot of failed prophecies.
JWs members are banned from reading religious texts from other beliefs but will gladly teach people of other faiths about theirs.
The watchtower group claims politics is evil but they are aligned with the UN.

Geminita1:
You know you are right, like every other person i also think they deserve the side eye. From what i've seen and heard from them they deny a very fundamental teaching of Christianity; which is Jesus Christ being God in the flesh. It is a common knowledge in the bible that anybody who denies this is not a genuine Christian even if they have the appearance of an angel.

They also think they Holy Spirit is a force and not the Spirit of God. Red flag as far the bible is concerned.

God's name is Jehova, true but God has revealed the name he wants us to call him in these last days. It is by that name that every knee in heaven, on earth and beneath the grounds must bow. It is by that name that we must request anything, i mean anything from God. If there is anything that we wish to bind or cast away or agree upon, we must invoke that name else nothing will happen. The name is Jesus Christ. Demons fear this name, angels bow at the mention of this name, God answers our prayers when we mention this name.

Jehova witnesses have removed the name and also the deity of God. A very evil thing to do, their prayers and piousness are in vain. Zeal without knowledge.

Zeal without knowledge...so dangerous as Apostle Paul emphasized in Romans 10:2...

This issue is at the root of most of the problem we are seeing today even in the body of Christ.

No wisdom, no knowledge just raw zeal which manifests as fanaticism, dogmatism, indoctrination and legalism...

psalm 116:16 is your case. The Lord has freed you the chains of ignorance to serve Him forever, you're wise now. Two pretty ladies who are jehos just left my house about an hour ago. Everything you wrote here transpired because I'm not a young Christian by His grace so I know the right questions to ask in order to maximize time. I summarized by telling them that one on one I can seduce and sleep with them because they have terrible secrets they're covering up by looking like God's children and professing to try their best in keeping God's laws. Without the person of the Holy spirit it will be impossible to please God. I also believe in heaven as my home after life here on earth. If you're busy searching for someone's mansion you couldn't build but have hope if inheriting in the future, Lemme shock you, you're on a very long thing

u go say u won join them not to come post say they are better Christians..maybe the liberty they have and are enjoying is what is catching you go there no one is forcing you ..free to drink, free to have extra marital affairs, and also u very free to add small gods enjoy it while it last ..nothing makes anyone a better Christian than having christ no church or denomination does

urchcoded:
The funny truth is dat Jehovah's witnesses don't actually call u guys Christians. They refer to u as people that call demselves Christian. So in essence they feel Dy are the only Christians.

So true. They refer to other Christians as 'worldly' in a twisted application of Jesus telling his disciples to be no part of the World, just like the Pharisees referd to others as Amharets (accursed people) . They also refer to other religions as Babylon the great. Though they never mention Islam directly .

Funny thing is the Jw used to bash the catholic church for involvement with the United Nations. Funny enough. The Jw organization was affiliated with the United Nations from 1992 to 2001. They resigned immediately an investigative journalist exposed them in the UK. The watchtower does not deny their involvement, so Jws before you argue take note and do your research. Again, many witnesses do not know this because they are sheltered from information. I dare any JW to search on google. JW and the United Nations.

Let the Jw see the official response from the United Nations confirming watchtowers involvement with them for 10 years.

The funny thing is many Jws want to leave but they can't else they'll loose their, families, their social circle, Infact everything they've always known as life.

People should be sensitized with the facts which they don't tell u when they study with you before they commit themselves to this American cult .

Jehovah witness

mrakin:
Many people think that Jehovah's witnesses are members of a cult. It is not true. We are not in a cult. Jesus Christ said that his followers should be no part of the world. True Christians do not follow the wayward practices of people who are inspired by Satan the devil.

Another accusation is that we are strict. No, we are not strict. We are free from the bondages of of tithing, second burial ceremony, unhealthy competition to buy the latest, unnecessary fame/Chieftaincy titles and hypocrisy.

We are encouraged to live a simple lifestyle. We are not in a competition with any body.

You believe that Jesus is a created
being...

Most of your doctrines have no biblical foundation.

My Bible warns me to flee from anybody or group debating/denying the divinity of Jesus.

Works are deceptive. The just shall live only by Faith.

rottennaija:


When you deny life saving medical treatment from another person, when you are punished for that, it's not persecution or hatred, but appropriate punishment and protest for an inhumane act towards another.

When you look down on others as a subhuman underclass that does not deserve anything good except they belong to your brand of religion and gets punished for it, it's not persecution but appropriate punishment for inhumane act of extremism.

You know nothing about blood transfusion and nobody forces anyone to be a Jehovah witnesses.
can you please define extremism? Jesus was also accused wrongly of cannibalism. if you do not understand something try to have a discussion with jw so that you will be better informed. jws are not perfect but they are doing their best to follow Jesus .

why are you people attacking JWs people, what they talked about is the areas they are steadfast that needs to be emulated and not the faith,doctrine,etc you people are talking about.

spayor:
I need opinions..pls fellow christians help a brother not to loose faith..
This question has being on my mind for a while now and I will appreciate your opinion

As christians, we believe that God knows everything even before it is concieved...God we believe knows the end from the beginning.

so I want to ask...If you agree with me that God knows everything, does it means that He knew that Adam and Eve would fail Him??..if yes, then why create them just to purnish them?..if He is truly a loving God, then why create men just to purnish them since He knew they will fail Him??

this question is really perturbing me and it's affecting my faith...
note: my dad is a pastor...I've asked this question several times but none has given me a satisfactory answer

We have been there!
Bro, there's no answer to that question without diminishing any of the four attributes of God, according to Christian teaching: omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, and infinitely loving. Agreed, logically speaking, it's impossible to possess all the four attributes, but God transcends logic.

Make peace with that and move on.

Something that may help you not to cross the red line — "God loves you infinitely (in a personal sense)" is a scam!

God's love for you is only to the extent that you're a part of his game — just the way a farmer loves his tool; a pharmacist loves his laboratory rats; or an embryologist loves the cells he's using for his research.

So, Adam and Eve were tools to achieve his aim, knowing fully well that they'll lose their usefulness and be discarded. Likewise, Judas was used to achieve the crucifixion — He even pointed to him and asked him to hasten his betrayal plans.

His game, His rules! You and I are pawns in His game — we just have to be royal pawns!

Remember this, you need Him more than He needs you!

Peace to your soul brother!

Edybleketara:
their biggest problem is hypocrisy. outwardly jws behave like saints, but in secret, they do the opposite of what they preach.
they also have a knack for berating other religions. they believe they are the only ones who will be saved, and refer to other religions as Babylon the great- the world empire of false religion.

Don't generalize. There's nowhere we don't have bad eggs. If someone from your village stole, will it make sense for me to say everyone from your village are thieves?

Thinks about it.

Pharovo:

Thank you. Many people believe in hearsay regarding Jehovah witnesses. Many do not know Jehovah witnesses personally.

one thing we don't know as Christians is that the name of your church can never help you to make heaven, be it Jehovah witness, Catholic Church, redeem Christian Church, it doesn't matter in the eyes of the Lord, but your personal relationship with God the father is what will count on that day. so your post is meaningless to me

I Dont give them my attention anymore, though I respect them for always going out to reach out to people around but I don't see anything reason why someone would outrighly turn down my invitation and expect me to embrace her teachings.

imagine inviting my aunt who is a witness to a church wedding and she came and sat outside the church till the wedding was over, she kept on acting she was the direct representative of jesus

growing up back then u would be in a company of a group of friends and then you see a Jehovah's witness bus approaching, they would handpick their members and drop them at their location and leave you there even when you guyss are headed to the same location.

I guess that's Christianity?

Rafiq2:
Well they are really an intresting bunch really, though a bit annoying, but make quite interesting conversation. Even when I told one of their members i am a Muslim, she still insisting I can be saved.

I was like "saved?......from what" am not in any danger.


Well, for keeping me entertain I offered them chill bottled water on their way out. nonetheless I like how they are committed to their cause, I like them though, they are persistant

Sorry. No Jehovah's Witness will tell you that. They don't go about saving people. They try to show you the truth.

You definitely did not understand what that guy who you quoted was saying.

Lemme break it down. Say, you all are in the religion and are all baptized. One day you wake up to the fact that the religion is false and a cult. Not just your regular hungry man church. You decide to leave, the point is you'll be shunned.

If you disassociate, you'll be shunned for life by your family until you return.

Your sister has no need to shun you. To her you are a worldly who will die at Armaggedon, qnd Infact she'll be trying to convert you so that she can save you from death.

It's a messed up web. You have to live it(unfortunately) to understand.

Please visit www.jwfacts.com read up facts you can use To Help your sister.

Are individual Jws good people? Absolutely. There are great people there as there are in other religions. They have high moral standards as do deeper life and Mormons.

You owe it to yourself to research this religion as you would research any other.

rubbish post trying to glorified them above other

Tallesty1:
First of all.. I am not a Jehova Witness.


Secondly, they believe in hell(total destruction) not everlasting torment in a lake of fire.


And finally.... They believe in holy spirit

Don't say what you don't know...

They believe that the wicked will be destroyed in the war of Armaggedon. The stated that hell referred as understood by most Christians actually referred a valley in Israel where the Jews were sacrificing/burning their children...

You will be hearing a lot of "Gehenna, Sheol and Hades"...

Where they got all the doctrines they preach defies comprehension...

tomju:

"claps ITS hands" Never 'HIS' hands

we know metaphor, 'He', used by Christ to explain the Holy Spirit can never pass for a metaphor.

We are encouraged to live a simple lifestyle. We are not in a competition with any body.

The funny thing is you don't even know the definition of a cult. In your mind, you think a cult is a spiritistic community where rituals, initiations, and diabolical things happen. Where people say chants and dance in a trance.

A cult is any thing but that. Any organization that controls behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions is a cult.

As a jw, you can't keep some hairstyle, even though in Your Own conscience you know it's not wrong. The elders or circuit overseer will counsel you. You can't keep well trimmed beards even though their is no biblical injunction against keeping it, else you are not exemplary.
For goodness sake, even the native cloth You Sew must cross your knee if you must use it to give talks at the kingdom hall or assembly hall.

You don't know the true origin Of The religion except what is told to you in your publications. You are discouraged and even warned of reading other research materials. Which they'll term apostate material. The witnesses have been having a case in Australia about child sexual abuse since 2014 involving 1006 victims yet hundreds of thousand publishers in Nigeria know nothing of this. Something that is on the Australian government website. Just so you know you can see the court proceedings on YouTube search Australian royal commission case number 29. Just so you know it's a catholic woman that defended them in court and they paid. Also, governing body member Geoffrey Jackson lied under oath. I'm not making this up, hard to believe as it may sound. All you need do is check it up. it's not apostate material it's simply a court session on YouTube.
You'll never see those cases on JW website but if it's persecution they'll not fail to share it.

They have paid millions of dollars, with dedicated funds to settle child sexual abuse cases.

As a JW your thought is controlled. Independent thinking is called satanic thinking and sinful. They liken it to Eve and Korah. They want you to follow the governing body and obey everything without question even when the governing body says they are not inspired and make mistakes.
You can't question their teachings like the ridiculous 'this generation teaching ' if you question openly you'll be labeled an apostate. Only the governing body has the right to interpret scriptures and you must follow it even when it doesn't make sense(their words not mine).
So you have no mind if Your Own.
You are mocked for acquiring higher education but when you get the skill, they'll want u to use that skill for the organization for free.
Every one has to aspire to full time service or that one is wasted potential and not a spiritual person.
I can go on and on.

They control your emotions. You are always feeling guilty. Even when youve committed no wrong. Even when you are doing well in the eyes of others, you always feel it's not enough. You need to do more.

Remember the definition of a cult I gave you
". Any organization that controls behavior, information, thoughts, and emotions is a cult."

Read www.freedomofmind.org and www.jwfacts.com

Truth fears no scrutiny. Afterall that's what you tell people in field service. It's about time you applied that to yourself. If you have the truth you have nothing to worry about, if you don't you can save yourself and possibly family from this American cult that is squiky clean on the outside but life sapping on the inside.

Cheers.

I swear if my daughter or sister marries a JW, I will mourn her and forget her from that very day. I wouldn't even wait for that to happen.

Abeg, I thank God for we Pentecostals. We are very free with each other, we attend each other's churches, we intermarry each other. We don't discriminate or judge others (except for the Deeper life people). We live freely. JW are not free. It's like they are living in bondage.

You seem to have a lot of hatred for them.
You call them a cult. Do you know that after Jesus ascended, his disciples were called cult members too?
Anyway, your comment doesn't really portray you as a Christian, I am sorry to say.

See, you couldn't even deny my facts against them. Cos they are true. Oga, they are just pretenders. Of what use is 3 good accompanied with 3 greater evils?

Funny enough the witnesses describe Your Own religion even worse. They refer to it as a sect and the great harlot - babylon the great.
They say both you and your religion will be destroyed at Armaggedon.

I always say this. You have to have lived it to talk about it. You will never understand.
