1) Does the faithful and discreet slave include all anointed brothers at bethel or just the Governing Body? Jesus indicated that he will appoint a slave to spiritually feed his body of attendants their food at the proper time. When we consider that Jesus commanded his disciples to preach the good news to the entire world, we can better appreciate what is involved. The food at [...]
Why do you refer to Jesus as the Prince of princes when the book of Daniel refers to him as one of the foremost princes? The person who became Jesus has lived the most extraordinary life. Prior to his becoming human Jesus was a spirit creature named Michael. Being a son of the King made him a prince as well —one of many angelic sons or [...]
In the beginning, Jehovah created a garden of exquisite delight. It was a paradise of pleasure called Eden. In it God placed two perfect humans —Adam and Eve, whom he had created from the dust, that is to say —from the elements. God planted every sort of beautiful tree in the garden, each with its own unique, delicious, life-giving power. Everything in Eden was healthy and [...]
QUESTION: If the man of lawlessness is operating undetected, even among the chosen ones right within Christ's congregation, have not the chosen ones already been misled or deceived? After all, only Jehovah and Jesus can spot counterfeit Christians, correct? Absolutely. This is the point. It is the message I have been hammering on all these years. Jehovah’s Witnesses are under a deluding influence —an operation of [...]
The Bible is history and it also tells the future. The Watchtower has explained the Bible’s core message in a very compelling way. Simply put, God is going to create a new world. The basis for it has already been established, that being the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. In the world to come there will be no more war, crime, sickness or death. No more tyrannical [...]
Two lawsuits being filed this week are targeting the leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses for what the plaintiffs claim is a history of child sexual abuse. Heather Steele, 48, and John Michael Ewing, 48, were abused as children, but they're filing suits this Wednesday, when New York's new Child Victims Act goes into effect. Signed earlier this year, the measure removes the statute of limitations on [...]
From the very beginning, the tiny Bible study group that formed around C.T. Russell believed that Jesus had already returned. When they were sorting out the elementary biblical doctrines from all the rubbish taught by the churches, they were also captivated by the notion of an invisible parousia, which was an idea promoted by George Storrs who was many years Russell’s senior. Russell realized that the [...]
I happened to notice that the JW site features a very brief article entitled Who Is the Antichrist? On the surface, it appears to provide the answer. Below are a few bullet points provided to help us identify an antichrist. Denies that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) or denies that he is the Son of God. —1 John 2: 22. Opposes the Christ, God’s Anointed One. —Psalm [...]
God’s spirit animates everything. Every living thing —from angels in the highest heaven to animals, birds, fish and alas, yes, man. God’s spirit is the spark of life. Every seed ingeniously encoded, be it plant or tree or seaweed was originally infused with life by the Spirit. No spirit, no life —as the scripture says: “When you hide your face, they are disturbed. If you take [...]
1. Do you feel paragraph 27 (below) is accurate? 2. Do you have a more accurate Daniel image (legs down) than the one above? 3. Are these statements accurate: WW1 was fomented to weaken any threats to the British Empire. WW2 was fomented to further weaken and make nations more indebted and to (re)establish a nation of Israel in Palestine that will be the future home [...]
