Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. . . . Prove yourself faithful even to death, and I will give you the crown of life.—Rev. 2:10. In Jesus’ messages to the congregations in Smyrna and Philadelphia, he told Christians there not to be afraid to suffer persecution, since their faithfulness would be rewarded. (Rev. 3:10) We must expect persecution and be [...]
TRANSCRIPT (Slightly edited) (00:40): Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Jehovah's Watchman. This program was recorded for the first week of October, 2024. In fact, it is October the first and it's starting off with a bang. Apparently, Israel is invading Lebanon after weeks of bombardment and exploding pagers. Now the tanks are rolling in and I'm just looking [...]
This is a continuation of the Psalms commentaries. As a very young man, I began searching for God. For the past half-century, I have called Jehovah “my God.” In all of this time, though, I cannot say that I have ever had to appeal to Jehovah to rescue me —at least not from a life-or-death situation. That is not to say I have not experienced distressing [...]
This is a review of the Watchtower study article, Do You Recognize the Truth? Training ourselves to discern the difference between the truth we have learned from Jehovah and the falsehoods promoted by Satan and our opposers. First, I am not an opposer of the truth. I oppose those who pretend to be apostles and who disguise themselves as the faithful and discreet slave, a designation [...]
This is a slightly edited transcript (00:37): Hello everyone. Thank you for listening to another episode of Jehovah's Watchmen. This program was recorded on September 11th, 2024, it being the 23rd anniversary of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. I remember where I was that day. It's like when big things happen, you remember where you were. But I'm not gonna [...]
On the 23rd anniversary of the terror attacks of 9-11, we look to the past and future juxtaposed with Bible prophecy
(00:02): You know, there is such a thing as truth. Remember Pontius Pilate when he was examining Jesus, and um, he asked Jesus, well, what is truth? Wasn't really a question, but, uh, an expression of doubt. But there is a truth. For example, there's such a thing as male and female. No one ever questioned that until <laugh> a few years ago. And now [...]

Although I have posted my commentaries on the Watchtower's daily text on the forum for the past two and a half years, I decided to post this article here so it will be translated for non-English readers. Wednesday, September 4th A book of remembrance was written before him for those fearing Jehovah.—Mal. 3:16. For thousands of years, Jehovah has been writing a special book. This book [...]
This week, jw.org asks, "What Does the Bible Say About Pandemics?" It is a recycled article that I have commented on before, but since they keep repeating themselves, I am compelled to respond...again. As all of Jehovah’s Witnesses know, as well as many millions of others, for as long as it has existed, the Watchtower has proclaimed that we are living in the last days. The core belief of [...]
