This is part two of my response to the Watchtower’s Question from Readers column: When Will the Current Preaching Work End? I do not think most of Jehovah’s Witnesses, if any, appreciate or understand that the Watchtower has repudiated itself and contradicted the Bible. According to what the Watchtower has previously published, Babylon the Great fell in 1919. The call to “get out of her” has [...]
When will the current preaching work end? That is a question from a reader published in the August 2025 Watchtower. The answer is considered to be “new light,” so-called, as the Watchtower explains: Jesus stated: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) The Greek [...]
Donald Trump has been called many things. It would be fair to say he is a Disrupter. Especially is that so when it comes to war and peace. Since his recent re-election, he has brought a critical Bible prophecy into focus. What prophecy? A prophecy most familiar to Jehovah’s Witnesses—“Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” During the summer of 2024, there was [...]
I have always believed that the Bible is God’s word. There are no other reliable sources of divine truth. Of course, hundreds of millions of people identify as Christians and claim to believe the Bible. Obviously, merely believing that the Bible is a sacred book does not necessarily equate to understanding it. As public ministers, Jehovah’s Witnesses have firsthand experience trying to teach people the basic [...]
This open letter is especially addressed to the recent additions to the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses: Gage Fleegle, Jeffrey Winder, Kenneth Cook, Jody Jedele, and Jacob Rumph. A personal copy is being mailed to each new member. Over the past three decades, I have written dozens of letters to the Governing Body. Obviously, though, its members have changed over the years. Newer members may not [...]
According to the London Economist, this week, the second week of April, 2025, the global financial system came within a few hours of blowing apart. On Monday of this week, the president of the United States announced the implementation of tariffs on dozens of nations. Immediately, the stock markets around the world plunged. But that was to be expected. What was not expected was the sell-off [...]
There is no indication that Jehovah ever actively intervened to save David. David was a warrior and could defend himself. Even so, the 35th Psalm opens with these words: “O Jehovah, defend my case against my opposers; fight against those who fight against me. Take up your buckler and large shield, and rise up to my defense. Lift up your spear and battle-ax against my pursuers. Say to [...]
The superscription of the 34th Psalm states: “Of David, when he disguised his sanity before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.” David was a national hero in Israel, having killed the hulking Philistine giant, Goliath. David was invited into Saul’s court because of his valor and exploits. David entertained Saul and his family by playing the harp. The women sang songs that Saul stuck [...]
The book of Revelation is presented in signs and symbols. Among these signs, we are presented with a wild beast with seven heads. What does this monstrous creature represent, and why should we even care? Revelation is the last book in the Bible for a reason. That is because it draws upon many things previously written. To illustrate the point, the 12th chapter of Revelation [...]
