Questions from readers concerning Bible doctrines and issues confronting Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Why is e-Watchman’s voice not more prominent?

This is part two of a series of three. Click here for part one. 2) If Jehovah has chosen to use you in speaking out to warn the WT, (which I’m not denying is plausible), but based on your expressed frustrations of attempting and failing to gain a louder or more impactful platform to be heard, why has He not made you more visible and seen?  [...]

How can e-watchman claim to be a “prophet”?

QUESTION:(Excerpted from a longer comment) …I have to ask you 3 questions to help me evolve further and put my mind to rest, the best it can. Though, I know these questions may be blunt, I trust your maturity and perception as to why I ask....

Has the Watchtower demonstrated it has changed?

  QUESTION: I'd like to get your opinion to my question in order to help me clarify a justification I'm trying to make. When the WTBTS withdrew from being an NGO associate couldn't it be viewed as their realization they had done something wrong and were trying to rectify the situation? I know from the book of Daniel the holy ones would be brought back into [...]

Is Jesus really the star that falls from heaven?

QUESTION: The ninth chapter of Revelation says that the fifth angel blew his trumpet. “And I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth…” How can you justify a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth as being Jesus Christ?

What about Russia and China and Gog?

QUESTION: I wanted to ask you your opinion of this video, particularly where he quoted Ezekiel prophesying the Prince of Russia (Meshech), etc. Do you agree with him?   Honestly, I didn't watch the whole video. I couldn’t. I made several earnest attempts, but just couldn’t manage to sit through more than a couple of minutes per session. It is well produced, no question about it. [...]

Jesus coming as a thief in the night

QUESTION: Robert, I was curious your input on this talk by Brother Lösch. In it he highlights that 'they who declare "peace & security" could be religious leaders joining political leaders' - confiscating their financial accounts which would then fulfill the destruction of Babylon. Also, he points out (3) days: Judgement Day (1,000 yrs) ; Lords Day (1914-end of millennium) ; Jehovah's Day (beginning destruction of religion thru [...]

Why the difference between the sexes regarding ritual purification?

Why didn’t Jesus accept being called “good”?

QUESTION: My question is about a verse in the book of Luke. Luke 18: says: “And one of the rulers questioned him, saying: ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit everlasting life?’ Jesus said to him: ‘Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except one, God.’”  I’m a little confused?  Clearly, Jesus made a distinction between himself and Jehovah about being good, but surely Jesus [...]

What about the Governing Body?

Question: Would you explain the history of Jehovah's Witnesses Governing Body of Elders?  When was this group of men formed?  Are we, as Jehovah's Witnesses, suppose to consider anything spoken by these men to be from Jehovah God or Jesus Christ?  Why do so many Jehovah's Witnesses basically give these men an allegiance or devotion that is paramount with Jehovah God? ______________ Answer: The Governing Body [...]

What is a spiritual drunkard?

Question: Would you please give a definition of "spiritually drunk?" Also, how can we tell if a individual or an entire group of people or congregation, if you will,  is spiritually drunk? ________ Answer:  The Bible uses drunkenness as a way of describing those who are not sober of mind. Just as a person who is literally drunk is unreasonable, yet unaware of their impairment, a person [...]
