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,’ [...]
What Does the Bible Say About Nuclear War?
A recently updated article on JW dot org poses the question: What Does the Bible Say About Nuclear War? This question also happens to be the very same question Slovakians are confronted with this month on dozens of billboards placed along streets and highways throughout the country. To be sure, it is a timely question given the ongoing provocations and [...]
Look, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me
Sunday, Dec 1st What prevents me from getting baptized?—Acts 8:36. Was the court official from Ethiopia truly ready for baptism? Consider: The Ethiopian man “had gone to Jerusalem to worship.” (Acts 8:27) He must therefore have been a Jewish proselyte; he had converted to Judaism. No doubt he had learned about Jehovah from the sacred writings of the Hebrew Scriptures. Still, he was eager to [...]
Are you heeding the warnings? (Part One)
This is the first article considering the September 2024 Watchtower study article, "Are You Heeding the Warnings?" 1) WE LIVE in a climactic time! Soon, Jesus will judge every living person. Jesus described the time leading up to this judgment by giving his disciples a prophetic “sign” of his invisible presence and of “the conclusion of the system of things.” We certainly do live in climactic times, but [...]

What Does the Bible Say About War?
There is a brief article on jw.org entitled: What Does the Bible Say About War? The opening paragraph poses another question: In ancient times, the Israelites waged war in the name of their God, Jehovah. Does this mean that God approves of modern warfare? 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 [...]
