The Anglo-American dyad – the iron and the clay

2023-02-08T15:21:26-05:00April 27th, 2022|WT Review|

This is Part Three of the series of commentaries on the July 2022 Watchtower. Under the subheading How the Enemies of God Will Come to Their End, paragraph nine states:  9. Read Daniel 2:28, 31-35. We see this prophecy being fulfilled today. Nebuchadnezzar’s dream pointed to what would happen “in the final part of the days,” after the start of Christ’s rule. Jesus’ earthly enemies would [...]

So that they may come to believe the lie

2021-12-26T10:01:52-05:00December 26th, 2021|WT Review|

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 [...]

Friday, September 24 Mind your own business. —1 Thess. 4:11. A person does not inherit his heavenly hope from his family. He receives it from God.

Sunday, September 5 Stop being molded by this system of things. —Rom. 12:2. Paul was concerned because some Christians were apparently being influenced by the unwholesome reasonings and philosophies promoted by Satan’s world. (Eph. 4:17-19) That can happen to any one of us. In a desperate attempt to turn us away from Jehovah, Satan, the god of this system of things, uses various tactics. One of [...]

Can you make sacrifices to Baal and be saved?

2021-08-11T12:30:29-04:00August 10th, 2021|Jeremiah|

A continuation of the Jeremiah series There were many gods worshipped in ancient times. The Bible names a few, such as Molech, Chemosh, Dagon, Nisroch, and a plethora of baals, which simply meant lord in Hebrew. Just among the Jews, Jehovah accused them of having as many gods as there were cities in Judah. (Jer. 2:28)  All of those gods, though, whatever they were called, [...]

Is e-Watchman an apostate?

2021-08-04T10:09:56-04:00August 4th, 2021|About|

With the Watchtower's 2021 convention talk by David Splane warning about apostates I thought I would repost this article from 2013 based upon a talk entitled Beware of Human Apostates. __________ There are two figurative “tables,” as the apostle Paul indicated. But the table of Jehovah is served by both faithful and unfaithful slaves. And now, even according to [...]

How long will you judge with injustice?

2021-05-08T09:18:25-04:00May 8th, 2021|Commentary|

Saturday, May 8 Watch that among you there is no one who is sexually immoral. —Heb. 12:16. Jehovah God hates all forms of wickedness.
