I know you have discussed this topic in videos and written articles, and for me, the Biblical evidence seems pretty obvious that Christ's bride is a limited and balanced number of 144,000 co-rulers. But, some try to overturn this simple truth with various types of reasoning. One such reasoning is this: If the 144,000 is a literal/finite number, then how is it possible that the children [...]

QUESTION: I know you have said that the WT has been used by Jehovah to further His will, but is God still using the organization? I feel that, that time is over now because I can't see how God will work with an organization that has got their hands in blood and in saying that I mean by the thousands upon thousands of child abuse [...]

Does the Bible teach that the sealing of the 144,000 began at Pentecost a few days after Christ's ascension? What Bible proof is there that being anointed or receiving a token is the same as being sealed? People can lose their anointing by committing the unpardonable sin against the holy spirit. So evidently being anointed is not the same as being sealed. Anointed ones are not [...]

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" [...]

Question: In update number 9, the question was asked ‘Do you believe Jehovah is directing the organization?’ I know you’ve said that it is Jehovah’s organization, but do you feel he is still directing and are we seeing the scriptures being fulfilled, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4? My feelings on update 9 is many in the congregations won’t have a problem with what’s being said as it’s [...]

I was told by an elder’s wife that Psalm 45:16 taught us that some elders would be princes in paradise.Is that what that verse means? The elder’s wife is probably ambitiously hoping her hubby gets to play the prince in paradise; but no, that is not what the Psalm means. Elders, or overseers, are a provision for Christian congregations. When Christ comes again Christianity will [...]

Since the WT has, it seems, become the mouthpiece of the scarlet colored wild beast, the disgusting thing that causes desolation, and the constant feature (the public ministry) has essentially been removed, are we not then actually seeing the fulfillment of Daniel 12:11. Are we not in the last days? Is not the disgusting thing standing in a holy place? Matt. 24:15. Jesus said when you [...]

QUESTION: I was reading your essay titled "The antichrist is coming" and there you say that what is acting as a restraint to the man of lawlessness is the Governing body but in your essay titled "And it stood still on the sand on the sea" you write that who has been acting as a restraint to the man of lawlessness is no other than Jesus, [...]
