It is humanly impossible to accurately foresee the future. Nevertheless, as the calendar is about to roll over to 2022 it is customary to cast a glance forward to the possibilities and trends that may shape the world in the days ahead. Naturally, most people cannot imagine anything other than more of what has occurred in the past. In that respect, their attitude echoes the [...]
Part three of Watchtower Review Under the subheading, WE LOVE THE TRUTH: 12) God’s people today do not claim to have perfect or complete knowledge of the truth. At times, they have made mistakes in doctrinal matters and in organizational direction. That should not surprise us. The Scriptures make it clear that accurate knowledge increases with time. (Col. 1:9, 10) Jehovah reveals the truth gradually, and we [...]
JW.org has a fresh banner article entitled What Does the Bible Say About Pandemics? They pose the question: Has God Ever Punished People with Sickness? They then proceed to supply the answer: The Bible reports a few occasions when God used sickness to punish people. For example, he caused some individuals to have leprosy. (Numbers 12:1-16; 2 Kings 5:20-27; 2 Chronicles 26:16-21) However, these isolated incidents were not indiscriminate pandemics [...]
Continuation of Watchtower Review - Part Two 8) On one occasion, Jesus prayed: “Father, glorify your name.” Jehovah himself answered that prayer with a thunderous voice from heaven, promising that he would glorify his name. (John 12:28) Throughout his ministry, Jesus glorified his Father’s name. (John 17:26) So it is reasonable to expect that true Christians would be proud to use God’s name and to make [...]
This Christmas week the Watchtower study article for the week is entitled Hold Fast to the Truth With Strong Conviction. What follows are my comments on select paragraphs. 1) THERE may be tens of thousands of so-called Christian denominations that claim to worship God acceptably. No wonder many people are confused! They ask, “Is there one true religion, or do all religions please God?” Are we [...]
It seems the Watchtower is grooming JW’s to accept the mark of the beast when the time comes. Although I have no proof, it seems fairly certain that the Watchtower has accepted money from the dark powers that have been pushing the pandemic and universal vaccination as part of the Great Reset, a euphemism for the intentional collapse of civilization and the implementation of global [...]
JW.org has a new banner article that appears in Awake! magazine on the topic of world government. The Watchtower derived its name and corporate logo from the scriptures; most prominently from Isaiah 21:8, which says: “Upon the watchtower, O Jehovah, I am standing constantly by day, and I am stationed at my guardpost every night.” The question is, is there actually someone stationed upon the [...]
A continuation of the Jeremiah series. In the 18th chapter of Jeremiah Jehovah commanded his prophet to go to the workshop of a certain potter as he was working with a lump of clay on the potter’s wheel. The piece the potter was shaping became ruined and so he reworked it into a different shaped vessel. Jehovah then made a comparison, saying to Jeremiah: “‘Can I [...]

It has its own domain. e-jehovahs-witnesses I am suspending the Commentary and Mailbag features on this site and will be posting comments on the Daily Text and answering Bible questions in the new forum. I posted a commentary and mailbag question today as a starter. Anyone may read the posts there [...]
As you already know and have said many times, the chosen ones will be killed by beast right before the seven bowls of wrath are poured out. So, my question is, if the anointed will not be here then and will be in heaven to battle at Armageddon, who will lead the great crowd during this time? If there will be no elders or "leaders" [...]
