Podcast #45
This program considers questions regarding the harvest. Questions about how to go forward given the Watchtower’s hypocrisy. And what about Greg Stafford?
Who Are the Seven Shepherds and Eight Dukes of Mankind?
A review of the November 2013, Watchtower study edition The main body of the Watchtower material presents an informative account of the historical developments leading up to the invasion of Judah by the Assyrians under their king, Sennacherib. The article points out that the king of Israel joined forces with Syria and was intent on removing the king of Judah – and most likely, the royal [...]
Why did an angel claim to be God?
An angel told Jacob wen he was going to Haran that he was the true God saying "I am the true God of Bethel..." Is this not self-exaltation on the part of the angel? Genesis 31:11-13 The account may be read here. Angels are authorized to speak in behalf of God. In fact, the Hebrew word for angel is synonymous with "messenger." And in the account cited [...]
What takes place with the unsealing of the Apocalypse?
QUESTION: On page 46 (Chapter 3 The Harvest) of Jehovah himself Has Become King, you state: "The opening of the sixth seal INITIATES earth-shaking events associated with what Christ called a GREAT TRIBULATION". (My emphasis) If the opening of the sixth seal initiates the great tribulation, what exactly is initiated by the previous five seals? Elsewhere in your book (Chapter 6 The Sign and Chapter 25, page 482), [...]
Me and Lyndon LaRouche
As a post-war baby-boomer, born just seven years after the most destructive war in history was violently punctuated by the first and only use of nuclear weapons in warfare (so far), some of the first books I read (other than comic books) were about the last world war. I suppose even then I knew it would not be the last world war. Having grown up under [...]
About my status as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses
A common question that I get from readers of this blog and viewers on YouTube is about my status as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. And it is not uncommon for people to express their confusion over the fact, that, on the one hand I support the faith of Jehovah’s Witnesses and defend the core doctrines and teachings of the Watchtower Society. Yet, on the other hand, [...]
Are These the Last Days?
This is part three of the review of the January, 2014, Watchtower. Are you willing and able to use your mind to reason? If so, I invite you to reason upon what is published under the sub-heading Wickedness Advancing from Bad to Worse: 8) There is a second reason why we know that it will not be long before God’s Kingdom takes active control of [...]
Let Your Kingdom Come, Again!
When Jesus Christ performed his brief ministry in Israel some 20 centuries ago, on several occasions he opened the eyes of blind men. Once he even gave sight to a man who had been born blind, who had never before seen the light of day. But Jesus also opened the minds of people to “see” the truth. That is why Christ referred to himself as “the [...]
Question about the rapture
QUESTION: Is the resurrection of anointed, both those who have died and those who are still alive, take place at the same time during Christ's presence? The word "together" recorded at 1 Thes 4:17 can literally be translated as "at the same time". The Greek word "Hama" is translated several times as "At the same time". Also 1 Cor 15:52 calls it the last trumpet indicating there [...]
Thoughts on the king of the north…
QUESTION: I believe its more than possible that the United States is in fact the king of the north and that its death stroke will be when it plants its tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of decoration. There's only been one mountain considered holy, and that is Mount Sinai. The prophet Daniel says that Egypt and would not be an escape and [...]
