QUESTION: Daniel 11:37 states:“He will show no regard for the God of his fathers.” Does that mean that Jehovah was the God of the forefathers of the King of North, because here it is mentioned with a capital “G” for God? Or, is it because the King of North is a group of world financiers who are Jewish in origin, whose God was also Jehovah? Please [...]
This article was prompted by a question from a reader. For more questions from readers see the Mailbag. If Christ's presence didn't begin in 1914 like Jehovah's witnesses teach, how do we explain the chronology Jehovah's witnesses use to lead up to 1914, that is, the seven times, or 2520 days? _____________________ It seems reasonable that the seven times has a broader application than to just the [...]

QUESTION: In the Transfiguration, how can it be that Jesus is conversing with Moses and Elijah? Is it a vision? Or is it symbolic of something? If so, please explain how that's the case.

In view of the latest move of the Society on collections, is there anything in prophecy that addresses this situation? ____________________________________________________ ANSWER: The account in Exodus concerns the occasion when Moses made an announcement to the Israelites, requesting that they not bring in any more contributions for the tabernacle [...]
For decades, it has been obvious to me and many others that when Jesus spoke of those who will be resurrected, saying they will be as angels---not marrying---he spoke of those who will experience the first resurrection and not the masses who will receive an earthly resurrection. The Watchtower has stubbornly insisted otherwise, defying all common sense. It seemed to me that they were deliberately torturing [...]
