This is part three of a series of three questions in the Mailbag 3) If the WT has been in such egregious error before Jehovah purporting a supposed lie of 1914, and willfully doing so....how do we explain Jesus backing and blessing the preaching work of the last 100 years? Honestly, I’ve never understood how we apply Matthew 24:14 over the last 100 yrs. It makes more [...]
This is part two of a series of three. Click here for part one. 2) If Jehovah has chosen to use you in speaking out to warn the WT, (which I’m not denying is plausible), but based on your expressed frustrations of attempting and failing to gain a louder or more impactful platform to be heard, why has He not made you more visible and seen? [...]
Friday, August 21 You, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive.—Ps. 86:5. How do we know that Jehovah’s forgiveness is permanent? Consider Jeremiah’s prophecy concerning the new covenant, made with anointed Christians, which makes true forgiveness possible for those who exercise faith in the ransom. Jehovah says: “I shall forgive their error, and their sin I shall remember no more.” So Jehovah assures us that once he [...]
Thursday, August 20 You have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to babes.—Matt. 11:25. In the 1870’s, a small group of sincere truth-seekers got together and formed Bible classes. With humble hearts and open minds, those sincere Bible Students, as they called themselves, made a careful and prayerful search of the Scriptures. The Bible Students’ diligent study of the Scriptures [...]
Stumper Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses, #31 Jesus uses the phrase "Truly I say to you, ..." over 50 times in the Bible. In the NWT, the comma is placed after the word "you" every time except in Lk 23:43, where the comma is placed after the word "today". Why is the comma placed after "today" instead of after "you" in this verse? If the translation of [...]
Stumper Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses, #30 If Jesus was executed on a torture stake, with both hands together over his head, why does Jn 20:25 say "...Unless I see in his hands the print of the nailS ...", indicating that there was more than one nail used for his hands? It's really not a question if Jesus was executed on a stake. The Bible straightforwardly [...]
Wednesday, August 19 There exists the one speaking thoughtlessly as with the stabs of a sword, but the tongue of the wise ones is a healing.—Prov. 12:18. We need to ‘encourage one another all the more as we behold the day drawing near.’ Encouraging others involves motivating them to continue moving forward in their service to God. Just as inciting to love and fine works can be likened [...]
QUESTION:(Excerpted from a longer comment) …I have to ask you 3 questions to help me evolve further and put my mind to rest, the best it can. Though, I know these questions may be blunt, I trust your maturity and perception as to why I ask.... In your new website front page introductory video (which is very good btw), you made reference that "isnt that the [...]
Stumper Question for Jehovah's Witnesses, #29 Jesus Christ is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 9:6 ("For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us ... And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God ..."). Jehovah is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 10:20-21. How can this be if there is only one God [...]
Questions considered in August podcast: 1) If it is impossible for god to lie, why did God sanction lying to king Ahab? 2) Since there is no historical proof that Egypt was literally desolate for 40 years, is it possible that the judgment applies to the greater "Egypt" - America, only for 40 days instead? 3) There were 500 believers who saw Jesus after his [...]
