TB Joshua’s Critics – Rise of the 21st Century Pharisees #1

They claim to be a group of six individuals supposedly poised to unveiling the truth about TB Joshua and Scoan, but just how much truth do they have to share? or rather what are they scheming behind the guise of this mission statement?

According to their statement on TB Joshua watch, of the six-people involved to varying degrees in running the site, only one of them has visited Scoan as a visitor, the rest five in the six-man gang have never been there, but chose to believe all the negative reports spread by these ex-disciples, Here’s a quote attesting to this from their site:

“We explained that the people who run TB Joshua Watch have NEVER been disciples. Of the six people that are involved to varying degrees in running the blog, only ONE has been to SCOAN, and this was only as a visitor”.

The two big questions that then come to mind are:-

Just how credible and reliable are the conclusions on SCOAN reached by those who have never been there before?  If they’ve never been there as they themselves have affirmed, then exactly where did they get their supposed truths on TB Joshua and SCOAN? Perhaps from questionable sources like the false testimonies and reports spread by critics and very questionable characters like some ex-disciples who rebelled against TB Joshua and his ministry.

We at watch  TB Joshua have very good reason to believe that theirs at  TB Joshua watch doesn’t fall any short of typical Pharisee character, of which Jesus Himself warned:

“Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” – Matthew 16:6

This belief we hold is sufficiently backed with necessary scriptural proof, subject to any queries you might have. One of the criteria for identifying Pharisees (hypocrites) as Jesus stated in the scripture is their special ability to see the speck in a brothers eye even while a log covers their very eyes,

 ”Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? ….You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye” – Matthew 7:3&5

Anyone who has visited their site cannot help but notice the fact that they’re on a fault- finding mission against TB Joshua and Scoan, is this their own way of achieving Gods standard for perfect obedience? Or is the word of condemnation and criticism now the goodnews Christ commissioned them to preach?, how sordid it is, watching them turn into ardent critics and fault finders to the extent that even after finding no faults with this prophet, they proceed to manufacture and inferred non-existent faults much like what happened to biblical Daniel.

In the light of the above, the question that comes to mind again is:

Why would they ignore the many good things TB Joshua stands for only to focus on alleged weaknesses and unverifiable allegations, if they’re in a quest to tell the truth?

Like a commenter once mentioned to them on TB Joshua watch that they cannot stop TB Joshua and although theirs is nothing more than a fool’s errand, it does explain to us, with them as a practical example, of the nature of the Pharisees in Jesus day which we’ve only read about in the scriptures.

“TB Joshua watch – a greater burden on the sick”
Another identification mark Jesus gave to identify Pharisees is that they lay heavy burdens on men’s shoulders while they themselves make no effort to lift any.

 ”They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger” – Matthew 23:4

A lot of people have stumbled accross their site thinking it was a site of the SCOAN and then going ahead to request for prayers and even anointed water, their responses to these visitors to their site was a sly discouragement from going to Scoan, and throwing away the anointed water should they even have access to it.

What is the difference, The so called six men are defending christianity and TB Joshua is spreading christianity. What is the difference?. To me both Joshua and his accusers are both victim of self hate.
