Jesus personally invited some men to be his followers. And they immediately responded and followed him—quite literally. They literally walked behind him as Christ traveled the countryside and visited villages, preaching and healing the sick. They followed him right up to the moment Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsamane, at which point they all stumbled and were scattered. How could the king of [...]
As of September 2022, it has been exactly 20 years since I first began to publish articles on e-watchman.com. Over the past two decades, well over 1,200 articles have been posted. There are also Slovak, Dutch and Spanish versions of the site. As the collection of articles grew it was suggested to me to write a book. The first edition of Jehovah Himself Has Become [...]
KINGDOM BULLETIN #22 There is a saying among Jehovah’s Witnesses that Bible prophecy cannot be fully understood until after it has been fulfilled. That is a true statement and the principle was demonstrated long ago in the case of the apostles who were only able to understand the many prophecies that were fulfilled in the life course of Jesus after Christ was resurrected and forcefully [...]
David experienced many hardships and heartaches and made some grievous mistakes. Through it all, though, God blessed and richly rewarded David, even as the fugitive poet sang in the last verse of his brief 13th Psalm: “As for me, I trust in your loyal love; my heart will rejoice in your acts of salvation. I will sing to Jehovah, for he has richly rewarded me.” It [...]
There is a general expectation among people in the world, especially in the so-called “developed nations,” that conditions of life will continually improve—that the next generation will be better than the one before. That is the way it was been for many generations. Except now that is no longer the case. Civilization is coming unglued. What is more, it is being intentionally demolished. The same mindset [...]

Being an Israelite David knew the history. He undoubtedly knew the story of his fellow shepherd, Moses, and his close encounter with Jehovah atop Mount Sinai, when Moses requested to see God’s face. Jehovah replied and explained that no man could see his face and live. Even so, God positioned Moses in a crag with his face to the rock and Jehovah is said to have [...]
The 10th Psalm opens with a question that has likely been voiced in various ways by many people for a long time: “Why, O Jehovah, do you stand at a distance? Why do you hide yourself in times of distress?” There is no denying the fact that God allows evil to exist and prevail. The question, though, is why? Why does God hide, as it were? [...]
The ninth Psalm is the first acrostic Psalm. It is a victory song to be sung by those who come off victorious from the assault by the wild beast during the finale. The opening verses state: “I will praise you, O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will tell about all your wonderful works. I will rejoice and exult in you; I will sing praises to [...]
For centuries it was as though the name of God had been lost. Even before the Bible was complete, even before Christ came to the earth, Satan hatched a scheme to erase the name of God from the minds of men---from those who were supposed to be the guardians of the truth. Originally the name of God was written using the consonants YHWH. The reader [...]
