Sometimes you just gotta let yourself be wronged. Your one-man band against Jehovah’s approved body is a futile gesture, and as usual, is seemingly to draw attention to yourself. Man-up and repent, come back, there's always room for a prodigal son. Over the years I have received many emails. Some are supportive. Others express confusion, some anger and outrage. Sometimes I respond privately. Sometimes I simply [...]
This episode considers a variety of questions. First question: Did Samson commit suicide? 2nd question regarding the WT's 1914 doctrine and the evidence that peace has been taken from the earth since 1914. Also, is the Kingdom going to rule from the earth? And where shall we flee when the time comes?
QUESTION: If Jesus hasn't begin ruling as King (since 1914), does he currently hold the 7 congregations (Our Organization) in his hand? The reason I ask, is then what do we call the last 100 years? Obviously, it has served a purpose in bringing forth light to the world about Jehovah's Grand name and the Kingdom. Can Jesus be controlling and blessing the congregations for the [...]
Church leaders refused to co-operate with a police investigation into a sex attack by one of their congregation on a teenage girl. Jehovah’s witness Paul Atkin has now been jailed for five years after admitting to sexual activity with a 15-year-old. A court heard the South Shields branch of the church carried out their own investigation after the allegation came to light and Atkin was booted [...]
Thursday, December 31 It is not a desirable thing with my Father who is in heaven for one of these little ones to perish.—Matt. 18:14. Jehovah cares deeply about all those who have expressed love for his name, even if they are not actively serving him at present. Are you among those who are not now actively serving God? Perhaps someone in the congregation hurt you and [...]
Question: Is the Watchtower Organization setting itself up to be a "false Messiah" or "false Christ" at the true parousia? Answer: In a word, Yes. However, we should not suppose it is by human design. Look at the role Israel played in accomplishing God’s purpose. Paul explained to the Hebrew Christians that the Jewish law had served as a tutor leading them to Christ. But how [...]
This episode considers questions regarding if God is the Tempter and whether the solar system will be sustained. Also, why does the Watchtower insist that anyone who reads the Bible alone will leave the truth? And, is the expression "conclusion of the system of things" accurate, or is "end of the world" more correct? (I neglected to mention that Jehovah's Witnesses imply that there is [...]
QUESTION: What is the mark of the beast and how can one avoid having such a mark? ANSWER: That is a good question. It is a question that Jehovah’s Witnesses should seriously reconsider. But to better appreciate the significance of the 666 mark of the beast the question ought to be rephrased to ask: What and when is the mark of the beast? Allow me to explain. [...]

This article appears under WT Review The concluding study article of the March 2015, Watchtower, entitled Loyally Supporting Christ’s Brothers discusses Jesus’ illustration of the sheep and the goats. Basically, the article reiterates that the sheep and the goats are not separated until some point in the future; specifically, after the great tribulation. This is not new light. However, the basis for that judgment is supposedly [...]
