1 Cor. 15 (24 & 25) Can you explain what this means? It appears that Jesus has an end to his reign as King, yet other places in the Bible indicate there would be no end. I cannot dissect the true meaning. Your comments would be helpful. ANSWER: When God prepared the earth during his six creative days and then finished his work with the creation [...]
QUESTION #2: Why does the NWT insert the word Jehovah in the New Testament, when there are absolutely no Greek manuscripts that have it in there? Isn’t this playing with the text? Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses CARM The fact of the matter is, there are no original copies of the gospels or any of the letters that were written to the congregations that comprise what [...]
QUESTION #3: In the book, "Salvation,"2 (a Watchtower Publication) it says, "At San Diego, California, there is a small piece of land, on which, in the year 1929, there was built a house, which is known as Beth-Sarim. The Hebrew wordsBeth Sarim mean "House of the Princes"; and the purpose of acquiring that property and building the house was that there might be some tangible proof that there [...]
QUESTION #4: The Watchtower organization states that Jesus died on a stake, not a cross. The typical Watchtower representation of this is with Jesus on a single vertical stake, hands over his head with a single nail in his wrists. If Jesus were crucified on a cross, then two nails would be necessary, one in each hand. How then does the Watchtower organization handle the verse in [...]
QUESTION #5: The Watchtower organization states that through good works and sincere effort only 144,000 elite Jehovah's Witnesses will go to heaven. The 144,000 are mentioned in two chapters in the Bible: Revelation 7 & 14. By looking at the verses it is obvious that the 144,000 are literal Jews of the ancient tribes with no Gentiles among them (7:4-8). They are all males (14:4) and virgins [...]
QUESTION #6: Where does it teach in the Bible that Jesus is Michael the archangel? Why isn't Jesus called Michael right now since he is in heaven? Taken from Questions for Jehovah's Witnesses ANSWER: This is certainly an inconsistent line of reasoning for a trinitarian to employ. To underscore that fact, Jehovah's Witnesses merely have to turn the question around and ask the trinitarian: Where does it teach in [...]
QUESTION #7: According to the Watchtower Organization, Feb. 15, 1983, p. 12, there are four requirements for salvation as taught by the Watchtower Magazine. The second is relevant here: “Many have found the second requirement more difficult. It is to obey God's laws, yes, to conform one's life to the moral requirements set out in the Bible. This includes refraining from a debauched, immoral way of life.” 1 Corinthians [...]
Scientists theorize that there is a vast ocean of water stored deep below in earth’s mantle, which seeped from deep ocean trenches. Water may extend into the earth nearly 100 miles and contain three times the amount of water in the surface oceans. Interestingly, the Bible refers to this subterranean ocean in Genesis, where it states: “In the 600th year of Noah’s life, in the second [...]

QUESTION: In your book Jehovah Himself Has Become King, in the chapter on Revelation, you wrote: "Contrary to presently prevailing assumptions, Jehovah’s Witnesses have not gotten out of Babylon the Great. That is because Jehovah’s Witnesses have not even gone into exile yet! Babylon the Great is yet to conquer Jehovah’s people. That will come about as a result of the king of the north moving into the [...]
