Jehovah surely is a God of organization and order. The physical heavens as well as the armies of the invisible realm give testimony to that, as the May 2014, Watchtower, article asserts. The instances of Noah and his family, as well as Moses and the Israelites, and the original Christian society, are also examples of how God promoted organization among his people. In view of the [...]
QUESTION: In your understanding of the wheat and weeds parable at matt 13, does the wheat only represent "anointed" Christians or all Christians? I know the WT always says its just anointed, but it seems more fitting that it would be all. Comparing what you have written on the topic if the weeds are being separated from the kingdom, if it was just representing anointed Christians [...]
QUESTION: With the recent troubles in Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Crimea, is it possible that Russia is reemerging as the king of the north, as the Watchtower suggested might happen? ANSWER: Bluntly, no. And the reason Russia is not “reemerging” is because Germany and the Soviet Union never were the king of the north. It can be fairly easily demonstrated that the Watchtower’s interpretation [...]
In the Reasoning from the Scriptures book, page 341, a question is asked: - Do the events associated with Christ’s presence take place in a very brief time or over a period of years?

Toward the end of his long life, he wrote all of the letters that appear in the Bible with his name – including the book of Revelation. At I John 2:18 the aged apostle wrote concerning the coming of the antichrist, saying: “Young children, it is the last hour, [...]
QUESTION: “Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief, and they will see the [...]
The Watchtower organization has claimed to be the prophet of God yet it has made numerous false prophecies. The excuse given for their false prophecies has been to quote Proverbs 4:18, which says, "But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established." Whether or not the "light gets brighter" or not, [...]
QUESTION: In 1Cor. 15 (29) Can you tell me what this verse means? Mormons often cite this as authority for their practice of baptism for the dead. What does "for the purpose of being dead ones" mean? How could one have a purpose of being dead? It is quite confusing for me. ANSWER: The verse in question reads: “Otherwise, what will they do who are [...]
