This issue happened years back and will you send your child away if he refuse to worship your God? I know of three witness family where one of their children in each family goes to redeem. Why didn't the parent send them away?

You just confirmed what i said!

People can accommodate their own child who ran insane but nobody will allow an insane just because you want to be nice!

My son remains my responsibility but i can't accommodate an outsider who will start giving me headache!

Maximus69:

It's only in our midst that our own God is worshiped, we avoid any other gathering to keep the first and foremost order of our God {Exodus 20:4} other religionists don't keep this law!



As worshipers of Jehovah we must avoid the gathering where people keep images for worship!



Can you accommodate a stranger in your home now with the fear of Covid19 everywhere?
Well you can accommodate your own immediate family because they're your primary responsibility but as for strangers you will have to apply strict rules to stay safe.
Similarly JWs will not accommodate you if you're not ready to keep the rules of our God which we strongly believe is life-saving! Proverbs 22:3

Guy in summary, you guys are just plain wicked and selfish. Every individual have the right to worship whatever they want. My own papa pursue me for house cos I no gree follow am go en church, O'boy him go take me back to his testicles the way he brought me here if not even una church members go run. Useless rules and regulations.

James 3:1 - New World Translation of The Holy Scriptures
James 3:1
Not many of YOU should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment

I believe you didn't read my message with an open mind but you read it with the mind to attack. Calm down and re-read. I said ONE of the most important commandments. I didn't say its the most important. Always read with an open mind when having bible discussions with people

There is one more thing he didn't add which is Jehovah witness believe that Jehovah created Jesus opposing to Christian that Jesus is Lord and the Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit are three in one person

Anyone who needs this PDF to clear all doubt that the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit is one should indicate

Transfusions are MAINLY safe.

Surgery has its complications too, but does that stop JW from getting surgery ?


Have you asked yourself why people die during surgery?

Has that stopped JW from getting surgery? Or going to hospitals?

Why not pray in your house althogeter?

Well, Jehovah's Witnesses refusal to take blood transfusion is not so much because it is unsafe, it is because that practice contravenes God's law on the use of blood. God specifically commanded that his servants must not eat blood. Blood must not be misused. At Genesis chapter nine verse three and four, God was very clear - don't eat blood. Genesis 9:3,4.
When he gave the Mosaic law, he re-emphasized that the only proper use of blood is for atonement (sacrifice), that blood must not be eaten but should be poured into the dust if an animal was slaughtered to be eaten. Read Leviticus chapter 17:13-16
In the Christian era, it was again emphasised that Christians should abstain from blood. So how should Christians abstain from blood? When we considered God's law on how blood was to be handled or used we understood that we must not eat blood. Whether or not safe, Christians must abstain from blood transfusion. Blood Transfusion amounts to improper use of blood. Please read Acts chapter 15:28,29.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not new to you, you see them in your neighborhood, you meet them online I see you comment repeatedly on their thread, their website jw.org is public. Why don't you harness these avenues to answer the question above instead of trying to start an online argument.

Why don't you guys marry outside your church but your members have sexual intercourse with non members.

Why don't you guys accept other churches books and listen to their preaching but you go around knocking on people's doors.

Why don't you guys enter other churches if invited to weddings or anniversaries, which I know you do celebrate.

Why?

1. Suppose I am a female Witness you marry and I wish to go to meetings and observe all things Witnesses do, will you accept it in good fate? Perhaps, God's word says we should marry in the Christian congregations; people who share your belief.
2 and 3. We worship only Jehovah. Most of your questions have been answered at JW.org.

StPete:
Witnesses do not pray openly

We pray to those deserving. Next time you see a Witness, ask them mildly why they don't pray when you force them to.

nobody is forcing you to be a witness. leave witnesses. go and marry from your church. you cannot claim to hate witnesses and be admiring their girls. being jehovah witnesses is reason why they are being admired by many. hypocrites. live and let live. shior!!tueh!!!

NaijadrivaCars:
But all the answers you gave are all myth.


TRUTH: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven. They believe man will inherit the earth. Heaven isn't for man but God only. So, where are LAZARUS, Elijah, Moses etc
Are they in PURGATORY or grave

They ALSO believe that ONLY 144,000 people will go to heaven. Then why are we labouring to go to heaven So, is Elijah, David and so many Saints and Matryrs among this 144,000 or not Who are now those that will rule with Christ on His second coming The 144,000 or other Saints who made it during TRIBULATION TIME God would like us all to make it. This una census get as e be.

TRUTH: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell. Then why did the bible talked about FIRE and BRIMSTONE
They believe "hell" to be GRAVE. No punishment for sinners but death and that is all.

TRUTH: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything. Very unexpressive people. They don't celebrate the birth of Christ (even if the chosen 24th December is debatable). They don't celebrate PENTECOST, Nothing!!!
Do you celebrate EUCHARIST Do you tithe or give to the poor around you Do you fast (albeit secretly)?

TRUTH:
Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues. The OP just confused himself by saying they speak other languages. That is not what is meant by "speaking in other tongues" or Heavenly Language as recorded by the first "Christians" in Antioch (after the Holy Ghost visited them as Christ promised.


TRUTH: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions. Yes! Because it is actually not biblical to do blood transfusion for life is in the blood. So why say it is a myth when you all do it

Why don't you allow your ladies to marry other Christians (at least) but your "brothers" can marry ladies from other denominations and convert them to JW via marriage. Is that not how the other religion does
Are we not serving the same God

First thing first, this is not about u been JW or not, it's about a statement u made. Jesus is not God!

I decided to use the NWT to show where the bible calls Jesus God. And u say it's ignorance!


I quoted Isaiah, so if ur claiming I am ignoranct then u prolly mean Isaiah is the ignorant one here because I quoted him.

There is no need to argue on this Sir!

Jesus set the standard we are following, when Mary (his mother) Joseph-junior, James, Jude and Simon (his four blood brothers from the same mother) came to where he was preaching, an individual called Jesus' attention perhaps to honour their presence. Jesus said about his own relatives "who is my mother and who are my brothers?" then extending his hands to those listening to his preaching his said "look my mothers, brothers, father's and sisters, whoever does the will of the one who sent me is my brother and sister and father" Matthew 12:46-49

So to Jesus only his fellow believers are his families NOT those related to him!

For your information, it was only James and Judes joined their mother to accept Jesus, according to Jesus the rest of his brothers and sisters have perished! John 3:16-18

mitchyy:

What is not clear about my statement and questions madam.

You said one of the most important commandment Jesus gave was that y'all should go out preaching the word of God.

Then I quoted James 1:3

That says not many of you should be teachers because teachers would be judged with a stricter judgement.

Doesn't it mean, Ur organisation is making y'all teachers thereby condemning some of u to hell?

Blood transfusion saves lives

Once a medical doctor narrated on this forum that a woman who was on her labour, but need a blood transfusion to saves her life on cesarean delivery her husband rejected the blood transfusion and the woman died when there was no alternative.

In every other doctrines and beliefs of the Jehovah witnesses I will agree.

But the blood transfusion, that I rejected

Silverlines, I see. But have you really taken time to study the Bible to know why we JW take that position. Because come to think of it, we too are humans, we don't want to die. So for us to hold to that belief there must be a very very strong reason. You know what, Satan would do anything to make people work against God's purpose. So we are always very careful accepting any practice unless we are convinced such does not contravene God's law. But in the case of blood transfusion God's law is clear broken, hence we don't accept it.

I wrote this a while ago. You can read it please:

Well, Jehovah's Witnesses refusal to take blood transfusion is not so much because it is unsafe, it is because that practice contravenes God's law on the use of blood.

xynerise:
In John Chapter 1 verse 1, why did you change Jesus from God to god?

Changed? It's how it is in the original bible manuscript. Perhaps, read the scripture again; how can sb who you misconstrue is 'God' still be with 'God'?

No. I will not teach you. You go and find out yourself. Its not that hard to do research, is it?

sassiemyk:


Well Written. But just a quick question. Don't you think it would be wise to deny and disown Jesus Christ when caught in the net of BokoHaram or other Anti God terrorists? Well that's what it seems you are saying.

Your analysis doesn't even match.

It's only JW that interpret those Bible passages that they readily cite as not donating blood. And give reasons like...it is not safe or a guarantee that the person will get well. But won't you at least try if that will save the child? Rather than watching the child die.

Besides haven't the JW organisation reversed that doctrine? Doesn't it mean that it was just a doctrine and not a clear interpretation of the Bible?

freshboi88:

I would advise you to focus on whatever you believe in. JW would rather focus on what they believe in or they would rather focus on teaching you but would never criticise or call any denomination hypocrite........... You see the difference?

Investnow2017:


Jesus Christ himself was a Jehovah's Witness. Do we need to meet him to know who Jehovah's Witnesses are? The answer is already here, dear. Have you taken time to read and meditate on Isaiah chapter 43? There is so much in that chapter to enlighten you so you know the spiritual significance of that Bible based name JEHOVAH'S WITNESS.

And muslims said that Jesus was a muslim, so which one we go believe?
