Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Locusts of Joel
KINGDOM BULLETIN #16 I recently watched the 2019 Annual Meeting presentation on JW Broadcast. I was especially interested in the part presented by David Splane on the Watchtower’s adjusted understanding of Joel. My interest had been piqued months earlier as a result of rumors circulating on the Internet to the effect that the Governing Body no longer considered Jehovah’s Witnesses to be symbolized by the [...]
An introduction to Joel, indeed!
From the time of J.F. Rutherford the Watchtower has explained the book of Joel in the most absurd way imaginable. The locusts and creeping caterpillars supposedly represent Jehovah’s Witnesses who devour the harvest of Christendom’s fertile fields of operation, forcing the terrified clergy to beseech Jehovah for relief from the hordes of unstoppable ministers who are scaling over their protective walls and sneaking through their windows [...]
Jehovah’s Witnesses & the Locusts of Joel
Sunday, August 23 We shall devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.—Acts 6:4. Like those who took the lead in the first century, Christian elders who oversee the preaching work today are devoted “to the ministry of the word.” As these brothers make decisions, they seek direction from God’s Word, making it ‘a lamp to their foot and a light to their roadway,’ [...]

As is well known, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not participate in the wars of the nations. Does that mean that God disapproves [...]
When you are extinguished I will cover the heavens and darken their stars
With each passing day, the world sinks deeper and deeper into conflict and crises. The civil chaos and war escalation are intentional—by design. On the surface, the conflict is being driven by the ascendancy of Russia, China, and the BRICS+. A multipolar world is replacing, yes, challenging the bankrupt Anglo empire that has dominated the world for the past two centuries, particularly since the end [...]
Regarding Ruth Underwood
There are now some eight billion human souls on this planet. Jehovah God knows each and every one. He also knows those who are spiritually inclined and groping for the truth. They are most precious to him. Jesus said the Kingdom of God belongs to them. Over the years, the Watchtower has related many experiences where householders had been praying for answers, and in a short [...]
