QUESTION: I have done a lot of research about Judge Rutherford online. I'm well aware that you can't always believe everything you come across. With that in mind, it seems he had a lot of issues. Over drinking, he didn't live with his wife for over 20 years while president of WBTS. There is quite a list of things online. I could write a book on [...]
Part three of Watchtower Review Under the subheading, WE LOVE THE TRUTH: 12) God’s people today do not claim to have perfect or complete knowledge of the truth. At times, they have made mistakes in doctrinal matters and in organizational direction. That should not surprise us. The Scriptures make it clear that accurate knowledge increases with time. (Col. 1:9, 10) Jehovah reveals the truth gradually, and we [...]
A continuation of the examination of Jeremiah The Jews were in a binding covenant with Jehovah God, which they repeatedly broke. After nearly 1,000 years Jehovah became determined to bring calamity on the covenant breakers. God even ordered Jeremiah not to pray on behalf of the Jews. God would not be listening to their pleas for help. Going on, Jehovah said: “What right does my beloved [...]
Egypt had been the major power in the region prior to the ascendancy of Assyria. And long before the children of Abraham had settled in the promised land they had relied on the Egyptians for support during a time of famine. It was God’s provision for them. But this time was different. Looking to the Egyptians for help during the calamity would indicate that the Israelites lacked faith in Jehovah. So, God determined to allow the calamity to come upon them in order to purge evildoers from among his people.
This is a repost from 2010 When the Israelites were set free from their hard slavery in Egypt, in accord with God’s solemn promise to his friend, Abraham, Jehovah then established his covenant with them. No other people were in such a blessed relationship with Jehovah God. But the blessing was conditional. Only as long as the people listened to God would they [...]
This article is a repost from 2010 Jerusalem was not considered a great city such as ancient Babylon or Rome. It was not an important commercial center like Tyre once was. Jerusalem, though, had a long and rich history as the administrative capital of Israel and Judah and the religious center for all the Jews, no matter where on [...]
Watchtower review of the June 2020 article: Let Your Name Be Sanctified. Jehovah’s Witnesses have been the most controversial sect of Christianity since J.F. Rutherford adopted the name of “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” Even before that, the Bible Students promoted God’s name and rejected the well-worn lie that Jesus is God. Back before the Watchtower produced the New World Translation the American Standard Bible, which was published around [...]
The Bible is history and it also tells the future. The Watchtower has explained the Bible’s core message in a very compelling way. Simply put, God is going to create a new world. The basis for it has already been established, that being the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. In the world to come there will be no more war, crime, sickness or death. No more tyrannical [...]
"Then he stretched out what appeared to be a hand and took me by a tuft of hair of my head, and a spirit carried me between the earth and the heavens and brought me to Jerusalem by means of the visions from God, to the entrance of the inner gate that faces north, where the idolatrous symbol of jealousy that incites jealousy stood. And look! [...]
Part two of the Ezekiel series. When God speaks it is wise to listen. After all, Jehovah God is the Commander of the universe. He speaks the word and things happen. “Let light come to be,” he said. And then there was light. ‘Let the earth blossom with vegetation’ —boom, done. God can command the birds of the heavens, as when ravens brought Elijah meat. God [...]
