Question: Where do you feel the growing nation of Islam fits in to Bible prophecy? First, there is no such thing as “the nation of Islam” - at least not in the sense that the question apparently implies. (The Nation of Islam is the name of a black, muslim organization in America currently headed by Louis Farrakhan) Islam is a name similar to Christianity that encompasses [...]
(Question #14) What is the correct spelling of God's proper name "Yahweh" or "Jehovah"? If Jehovah's Witnesses maintain that "Yahweh" is more proper, why do they misspell it "Jehovah"? If the name of God is so important, then should you not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too? Is not spelling more important than pronunciation? __________ Excepting the fact that no one knows for sure [...]
(Question #13) If the name "Jehovah" is so important, then why does Acts 4:12 say, "There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name [v10 Jesus Christ] under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"? Would this not have been the logical place for God to have used the name “YHWH”? __________ The most basic and [...]
(Question #12) If the name Jehovah is so important, then why is it never used in the entire Greek New Testament? If men edited out the name of God, “YHWH," when they copied the New Testament, as only the Watchtower organization claims, then how can we have any confidence in any of the New Testament? Should we discard the New Testament or the Watchtower organization as [...]
(Question #11) Why would the name God gave to His people not be "Christians" since Acts 11:26 says, "The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch"? Why is the name "Jehovah's Witness" found nowhere in the New Testament, if that is God's divine name for His people under the new covenant? Why would God wait almost 2000 years to suddenly start using the name "Jehovah's Witness". [...]
QUESTION: I have done a lot of research about Judge Rutherford online. I'm well aware that you can't always believe everything you come across. With that in mind, it seems he had a lot of issues. Over drinking, he didn't live with his wife for over 20 years while president of WBTS. There is quite a list of things online. I could write a book on [...]
(Question #10) Why are you called, "Jehovah's Witnesses" and not "Christians"? Since Jehovah's Witnesses appeal to Isa 43:12; 44:8 for scriptural support that they should be called, "Jehovah's Witnesses" then what was the "new name" prophesied in Isa 62:2? Can't be "Jehovah's Witnesses", for God already used it 20 chapters earlier. Could the new name be "Christian" after our savior "Christ"? __________ Jehovah's Witnesses are called [...]
(Question #9) How do you know that there were any vacancies, if any, in the 144,000 class if Jesus offered this to first century Christians? How can the organization know the exact number of vacancies today without any records from the first century? __________ This is an easy question for Jehovah's Witnesses to answer. It would appear as if the questioner has merely stumped himself. It is [...]
(Question #8) How do you prove from the Bible that 1935 was the year for the selection to heaven stopped due to being filled? What is the difference between a Catholic appealing to "what the organization tells him" about December 25 being the date of Jesus' birthday and a Jw' appealing to "what the organization tells him" about the date 1935? Is it not hypocritical [...]
(Question #7) Can individuals read & understand the Bible alone, or do they need an organization and it's publications to do so? __________ Since the time when God made a covenant with Abraham Jehovah's purpose has always been in connection with an organization of people. The nation of Israel accomplished the initial phase and Christ's congregation will be used to bring about the completion. In connection [...]
