I have received a few inquires from readers who are wondering if this is the end of the worldwide preaching work of Jehovah’s Witnesses. The answer is no. There are places that are untouched by the infection. Besides, the pandemic will die out— probably sooner rather than later. They always do. That is how nature works. That is not to say the virus may not return. [...]
Over the years I have tried to present certain ideas to the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Back in the late 90’s I wrote several essays and sent them to the Governing Body and others. But after 2001 I realized that the real problem was the leadership. So, I tentatively began publishing on the Internet in 2002. After a couple of years, though, I was impelled to [...]
Watchtower review of the June 2020 article: Let Your Name Be Sanctified. Jehovah’s Witnesses have been the most controversial sect of Christianity since J.F. Rutherford adopted the name of “Jehovah’s Witnesses.” Even before that, the Bible Students promoted God’s name and rejected the well-worn lie that Jesus is God. Back before the Watchtower produced the New World Translation the American Standard Bible, which was published around [...]
The words of the wise apostle have suddenly become more relevant than ever. The “time left is reduced” and “the scene of this world is changing.” Indeed, it is changing quickly. (1 Corinthians 7:29-32) Jehovah’s Witnesses could not imagine the worldwide preaching work suddenly coming to a halt— but for the most part, it has, at least for now. The other pillar of the organization— meeting [...]
In these uncertain times it is good to remind ourselves of the truth. Jehovah is God. Although Satan has removed the name of God from most Bibles the Devil has not prevailed. He cannot prevent people of faith from knowing and calling upon the name of Jehovah. "You young men and young women, old men and young together. Let them praise the name of [...]

With the recent coronavirus outbreak, JW.org has featured a few articles asserting that we are in the last days, with emphasis on “pestilences.” Although the information provided by the WT is as brief as can be I will consider each of the bullet points in more detail. (Here is article) War on a large scale. —Matthew 24:7; Revelation 6:4. Indeed, Revelation states that when the fiery-colored [...]
Hello Seer: Is the current virus du jour of man-made or of natural origin? Was the 1918 Spanish flu of natural origin or? Why do military bases always seem to be in the link? The technology did not exist a century ago to manufacture biological agents. It seems the Great War itself was the root cause of the pandemic as soldiers returning home from the bloody [...]
At the Watchtower’s 2018 Annual Meeting the Governing Body announced that Russia is the king of the north. It wasn’t, however, really much of an adjustment or flash of new light, as Jehovah’s Witnesses are fond of saying. In the aftermath of the collapse of the sprawling Soviet Union, the seers of Bethel admitted that they did not know who the king of the north [...]
