Welcome back brother I am happy for you,

They don't accept blood transfusion but they do have sexual intercourse. Is sperm not blood? If they don't accept blood transfusion, I see no reason why they should be having sex

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh your level of stupidity is amazingly great

Schoolala:
believe me this write up is a pure lies. have been a baptis publisher as a jw for ten good years.
I was even an elder in my congregation but the thing most jw fail to understand is that this jw group use brain wash techniques on his followers. yes they are any things they teach that is true but most of there doctrine are pure man made nonsense and false. and even the blood they claim they don't use to give out to a dien family member day have made several changes on that many times. they also once celebrated Christmas and birthday. just do your research well about this organization you will notice alot of hypocrisy ND changes of doctrine to suit them self.

Apostate spotted, oga stop defending your sinful attitude and accept why you were disfellowship.

A large number Jehovah's witnesses (in person) have this secreted attributes of not letting or bringing to public, most of their beliefs (is it because of the impression majority have on them?). In my own view, I think the impression has nothing to do with the religion but particular persons in the religion (who overreact). Therefore, why blame religion over a person's action?
.
A life experience between a Witness and a guy he met on field ministry.
.

I actually one day noticed a Witness in the field service preaching to a guy. On the long run, he offered the guy a tract and Awake! then the guy also brought a brochure to offer to the witness and said 'if you take mine, I'll take yours.' The witness responded: 'sorry, I am not allowed to collect that from you but you may have mine.' The guy fired back 'why?' The witness responded 'because mine teaches about God's kingdom.' The guy was like 'mine teaches about Satan's kingdom, right?' (...)
.
.
You may be thinking sth, well this attitude by this Witness was unprofessional and ego-centric. The Witnesses are taught in the Theocractic Ministry school, accompanied with the Reasoning From The Scriptures reference booklet to - not only try to let people see their points while preaching, but also -- hear others view. Therefore, what do we call that witness above? Well, unprofessional. Some other things alike too happen, like when they invite you over to the Kingdom Halls and you invite them to a Church Crusade; some will be all rejection. Well, here are things you never knew:
.
1. They do not have their own bible. I get this all the time that their Bible is quite very distinct from others. How true is this? Well, let me surprise you, they only rewrote a modern-word version of still, the original bible manuscripts that every other bible translator wrote from. In the New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures, the name of God, Jehovah, is used more than in other bible translation who replaced it with 'Lord'.
.
2. They believe people will go to heaven. Yes, they do, they believe a small number will make heaven and the righteous rest, inherit the earth, the promised paradise.
.
3. They don't do birthdays and festive periods like Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc. Halloween apart which is somewhat demonic, they believe that the outcome of the people who celebrated birthdays in the Bible took bloodshed (Pharoah's birthday,John the Baptist head). And for Christmas, it's pagan; Jesus was not born on Christmas day, which is true.
.
4. They are not a cult group. Believe me when I tell you this, all their teachings are focused on the Bible. If a Witness made a misuse of the bible, it's imperfection and not because 'he is a Witness, that's what they do'.
.
5. A woman can not lead the flock. Yes, this is driven from the new testament where Paul etc., took on the congregation of God. A man is the head, so it is.
.
Some other things are clapping to praise songs, using their Kingdom melodies, etc. Truth is, before you judge, do some research, some things you judge are actually how it should be.
.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh your level of stupidity is amazingly great

emsheddy:
You are the ignorant one here. People die as a result of blood transfusion that lead to infection? Like seriously? Please I will like to know where blood transfusion is done without proper screening of the blood first. And let me build on what you started. JWs doctrine of no blood transfusion has lead to the death of many folks who should be alive today. You know what that is called? Murder! That doctrine makes JWs commit suicide when they turn down blood transfusion to save their life. Let me stop here for now so I don't spoil your Sunday for you. By the way, how many people argued that Jesus was actually born December 25th? I celebrate the Savior's birth that day. It isnt scriptural abi? There are many things you do now that is not scriptural. Your Awake isn't scriptural (except you will show me where God instructed you to print awake in the Bible) Watchtower isn't scriptural. That trouser you wear isn't scriptural. Even that haircut on you isn't scriptural. You saw it good to teach people through awake and watchtower, hence the need for it. Please make sure you refuse Christmas bonuses in your place of work OK. You, my friend is the ignorant one here!

see rubbish wey u write. Go and Google u will see how people av died cos of unscreened blood even d one screened sef was later discovered that it is still infected

Welcome back brother I am happy for you,

thanks a lot sister..after seeing a lot outside I have finally realized that no organization can be compared with Jehovah's organization..thanks once again.

Nd u tink its right not to pay ur tithes abi...... Ignorance

XXLDICK:
They remain the most peaceful Christian denomination.

They do not pay tithes

They are the only Christian denomination yet to be commercialized.

They are my favourite.

Cons:

They do not recite the national anthem.

They do not participate in elections.

They do not accept blood transfusion.

Someone showed me this article from the watchtower written by a missionary serving in South Africa in the 1950s.

Watchtower W54 6/1 - The mind of the African.
''The New World organization, thanks to Jehovah, is provided with the “weapons of the light” and has the only successful program for renovating the mind and clothing its subjects with a changed personality conformed to Christ Jesus, the Head. Secular education, admittedly, has failed to inculcate love. False religion, likewise, has failed to teach and follow true Christian principles, and the African has not been deeply impressed by what is so often hypocritical and partial. True religion, which does not make distinctions but which operates on the basis of love and abounds in the “fruitage of the spirit,” wins his approval, respect, sympathy and co-operation. The African mind has one obvious characteristic: it is childish and imitative. The visits of African circuit servants are doing much to set a good example. What could help much would be for African brothers to mix socially with the European brothers. This is ruled out by the strict segregation arrangements in South Africa.''

i am not a jw myself.
So i might not be able to provide a biblical answer for the reason why they are are against blood transfusion - well, i know the bible said abstain from blood - but i know they believe in bloodless medicine.
I think it's still a developing field,but from all indication it's better and cheaper than blood trandfusion.
Read up on bloodless medicine,sis.
Health risks appear to be another contributing factor in their appeal, especially in light of recent studies that suggest thatblood transfusionscan increase the risk of complications and reduce survival rates.[17][18]Thus the recovery rate is faster with bloodless surgery, allowing the patient to leave earlier.
Benefits Bloodless medicine appeals to many doctors because it carries low risk of post-operative infection when compared with procedures requiringblood transfusion.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodless_surgery?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C9284150642

thank you so much, the problem with people here is not finding out information on their own. While in the university we carried out a research on bloodless medicine and surgery, I asked a medical doctor which will he prefer blood transfusion or bloodless surgery if it was his child his answer?, "I will never infuse blood on anyone I love ". Bloodless surgery is on the increase cos the patient heals faster and better.
on the second note if you claim to be a Christian but you don't apply Bible principles you're worse than a person without faith cos the Bible at acts chap 15:20,28,29 specifically mentioned abstaining from blood. why would I now go contrary to what I preach just to get life in this dying system of things and lose the prospect of everlasting life wether on earth or in heaven?
lastly Jehovah sent his precious son Jesus Christ to come and die for my sins so as to redeem me, if it means I'll die so as to gain their approval I'll die than accepting blood transfusion.

PierreDeFermath:
I love Jehovah witness . they're the best type of Christians out there,they are extremely kind and are not scammers like the conventional Christians.
mind you,I'm a muslim

Thank you for saying you're a Muslim. You don't know what Christianity is. Mind you, we are sons of God

We shouldn't condemn anyone because if their beliefs.
Instead try to understand or better still respect it.

My friend that attended one JW's wedding which she was invited said she was denied food at the reception . That they were sharing the food only amongs themselves openly and skipping other guests.
Reason? They were told that they were absent in the 'kingdom' (which was the wedding service where she learnt attendance was taken).... and according to her, almost all the non members were absent ....

Exaggerated and/or embellished story. Never believe all gossips even if they are from close friends. They aren't always true or entirely true. A Reasonable and open-minded person would investigate to verify the authenticity of any information, not believe any piece that comes her way.

I’m just sorry for those who fail to understand a simple fact. Well most people just call themselves Christians but cannot live up to it. They do much love the things of the world instead of seeing the bigger picture. The Bible says abstain from blood.....ur brains should tell u it means u should abstain from it in all forms be it through ur mouth or injecting into ur body....guys please ask yourself this question “how important is it for u to obey God?” If it’s not important then u all can say blood transfusion is good. But I’ll rather obey God whom I trust will give me eternal life here on earth or in heaven. The Bible doesn’t lie Acts 15:29 tells us to abstain from blood........then at the end it says GOOD HEALTH TO YOU.... sometimes because people do things or mayb it sounds right to you doesn’t mean it’s right. Check what God thinks about it through the Bible n draw ur conclusion. God knows all things and he’s the wisest. The issue about blood have been settled even before science brought about blood transfusion....even the Bible knows there will be health complications and also based on the emphasis the the life of an animal and man is in its blood so it’s so sacred to be toiled with.

JW is a cult that has so brainwashed their members.

How can you tell your congregation not to send their children to school.


How do u tell them not to take blood transfusion (my uncle died out ofnthos stupidity and now the family discovered the truth. They left the church and the other members stopped talking and associating with them becaise they have become sinners )


How do u tell them to no worm and make money bit when they work and make that unholy money you tell th to bring it and spend in church.


Read statistics and see the bearish way JW is going globally. Not talking about nigeria. Of coursebrhey will be the last to realise anything.

OK

They are not Christians. You won't understand.

The only thing you need to know is Christ came to die for the world and He prophesied he will build His church (not a denomination owned by an earthly founder) in matt 16:15-17. The prophesy came to be in Acts 2. Be a part of that church, by being baptised into the body of Christ after believing Christ is the son of God and repenting of your sins.
Rom 16:16 - The CHURCHES of CHRIST greet you

Pls read 1 corinthians 5:11. Whatever reasons for "dismembership" as u put it, is contained in dat scripture. The first part of ur story doesn't say it all. In fact, it appears to conform with "dem say".

Did Jesus not dine with zacheaus

Or what of d prostitute dat washed the feet of jesus

D bible is more than English words but of sound understanding which d Holy Spirit gives

There are two aspects of jws' teachings that most people seem not to understand on this thread.

This is a fat lie! The reason might not be attributed to your friend not being a witness. It might just be a policy not influence by the religion of the guests... You people are funny sha.. You formulate so many bullshit in order to paint bad image of JWs.. na wa oo.

Your pain, your headache. When you don't have true facts don't cross my path. Your useless speculations will not change known facts...
Not forgetting that truth is bitter...oya commot make I close door
