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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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: 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 [...]
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 [...]
This article was originally written in October, 2013, but has not been updated as of October, 2014. As all of Jehovah’s Witnesses realize - and many others besides - 2014 marks 100 years since the kingdom of God is purported to have begun ruling. And apparently the Society is not waiting for October to do damage-control, but is being preemptive with the very first Watchtower of [...]
QUESTION: About the big announcement, the special day - yearly meeting. Yes, it is a new Bible. Revised Edition 2013. You can download it from the official website. Looks pretty good, very helpful and well done. Now for the question: What are your thoughts on this new printing and how should it help the preaching work from door to door? ANSWER: I downloaded the JW Library - as it is officially [...]
QUESTION: I am writing to you again in relation to a trend that has been developing for quite a few years among Jehovah’s Witnesses. It's about the ever increasing number of partakers. How do you explain this phenomenon? This question comes in the context of the appearance of websites run by Jehovah's Witnesses who teach that all Christians are in fact sons of God and should partake at Memorial and entertain [...]
QUESTION: Since I have learned that Jesus has not appointed the slave yet and it is for a future time; I have being wondering who actually is feeding us now? Was Br. Russell actually used by Jehovah? I actually like to think so... because the doctrines are accurate. But, when he died did Satan use Br. Rutherford and contaminate the spiritual food? I am confused. Hope you can understand my question [...]
