Who is Satan the Devil? Is he a work of fiction, a myth? Is he really a reddish-colored, horned creature with a tail and pitchfork? Perhaps devils and demons are just relics of the superstitious Dark Ages? Seriously, who could believe that Satan really resides in a subterranean inferno where he tortures hapless souls for eternity, as the Catholic Church and its many offshoots have [...]
A recently updated article on JW dot org poses the question: What Does the Bible Say About Nuclear War? This question also happens to be the very same question Slovakians are confronted with this month on dozens of billboards placed along streets and highways throughout the country. To be sure, it is a timely question given the ongoing provocations and [...]
(00:19): Hello again, YouTubers, and welcome to another edition of The Daily Word. I thought I'd shift gears now. I think I'm done with the consideration of the information given at this year's convention concerning the symposium about the things to come. There's a few more talks on that series, but they go into Armageddon and the New World and so forth, and I really [...]
I know you’ve covered this subject in your excellent book, Jehovah Has Become King; however, you said something in one of your talks that puzzled me —you said that after 'a pushing’ between the King of the North (British Empire) and the King of the South (The Republic) the King of the North will storm and flood over the King of the South with 'ships and chariots' [...]
The Watchtower study article this week is entitled: Learning From Jesus’ Final 40 Days on Earth For as many years as the Watchtower has been around, it is puzzling how very little Jehovah’s Witnesses have learned from Jesus’ final 40 days on earth. For the past 10 years or so, the Watchtower has adopted a new approach to prophecy. Instead of trying to interpret it, they [...]
“Happy is the one whose transgression is pardoned, whose sin is covered. Happy is the man whom Jehovah does not charge with guilt, in whose spirit there is no deceit.” - Psalms 32:1,2 All of us are on death row, awaiting our sentence to be carried out. That is because the wages of sin is death. So, if God grants us a full pardon, it means [...]
JW dot org has a banner article posing the question: When Will the Fighting Stop? I know I am being repetitive. But so is the Watchtower. Twice quoting from the UN, one statement says: “The world is facing the highest number of violent conflicts since the Second World War and 2 billion people—a quarter of humanity—[are] affected.”—United Nations Security Council, January 26, 2023. Given a topic as complex [...]
Sunday, Dec 1st What prevents me from getting baptized?—Acts 8:36. Was the court official from Ethiopia truly ready for baptism? Consider: The Ethiopian man “had gone to Jerusalem to worship.” (Acts 8:27) He must therefore have been a Jewish proselyte; he had converted to Judaism. No doubt he had learned about Jehovah from the sacred writings of the Hebrew Scriptures. Still, he was eager to [...]
Friday, November 29 Whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit has no forgiveness forever.—Mark 3:29. Will the names of the great crowd of other sheep still be in the book of life after they survive Armageddon? Yes. (Rev. 7:14) Jesus said that these sheeplike ones will depart “into everlasting life.” (Matt. 25:46) But those Armageddon survivors will not immediately receive everlasting life. During the Thousand Year Reign, [...]
This is the final installment of the three-part series examining the Watchtower article entitled: Are You Heeding the Warnings? The illustration of the slaves and the money entrusted to them is pretty straightforward. Jesus entrusted his affairs to his slaves, and upon his return, an accounting will be held with all. Two slaves were industrious and increased what had been entrusted to them. However, one slave [...]
