QUESTION: I believe its more than possible that the United States is in fact the king of the north and that its death stroke will be when it plants its tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of decoration. There's only been one mountain considered holy, and that is Mount Sinai. The prophet Daniel says that Egypt and would not be an escape and [...]

QUESTION: About the big announcement, the special day - yearly meeting. Yes, it is a new Bible. Revised Edition 2013. You can download it from the official website. Looks pretty good, very helpful and well done. Now for the question: What are your thoughts on this new printing and how should it help the preaching work from door to door? ANSWER: I downloaded the JW Library - as it is officially [...]

QUESTION: I am writing to you again in relation to a trend that has been developing for quite a few years among Jehovah’s Witnesses. It's about the ever increasing number of partakers. How do you explain this phenomenon? This question comes in the context of the appearance of websites run by Jehovah's Witnesses who teach that all Christians are in fact sons of God and should partake at Memorial and entertain [...]

QUESTION: Since I have learned that Jesus has not appointed the slave yet and it is for a future time; I have being wondering who actually is feeding us now? Was Br. Russell actually used by Jehovah? I actually like to think so... because the doctrines are accurate. But, when he died did Satan use Br. Rutherford and contaminate the spiritual food? I am confused. Hope you can understand my question [...]

QUESTION: You have mentioned that “the City of Tearing Down” is New York City, but is it possible that it may be London, as it also has become a place which is the financial capital of the world, as well as over 300 different languages are spoken there as well as the inheritor of the Roman Empire mantle?

QUESTION: Hello, I have a question that has come up since Jehovah’s Witnesses have decided that the fall of Babylon the Great is in the future (as it is). Just after she falls verse 4 of Revelation 18 says: “Get out of her, MY PEOPLE if you do not want to share with her in her sins and do not want to receive part of her plagues.”

Does that not sound like a whole lot of people are going to come out of Babylon at that time? They are Jehovah’s people- those stumbled, newly interested, etc. THIS IS AFTER BABYLON FALLS!

QUESTION: I've noted that you agree with the current understanding that all anointed ones must die, (as derived from the interpretation of Romans 6:3-5; & 1 Corinthians 15:35, 36, 44 provided in the Reasoning book p.312 par. 2.) However, this appears to contradict Paul’s words at 1 Corinthians 15:52, and 1 Thessalonians 4:17* (*footnote). Hence, I need answers to the following questions in order to make sense of that interpretation.

Question: If the horsemen haven't yet ridden in quick succession after the opening of the second seal, do you think the white rider can be simply governments who go off to 'conquest' which leads the rides of the other horsemen? Or do you think that the white horsemen can still apply to future coming of Jesus when he manifests himself in the future? If he did ride as a conqueror in 1914....what did that rider really conquer? He's still waiting for the green light from Jehovah to go subduing in the midst of his enemies. So who was the white rider?

Was Jesus talking specifically about his own followers at Matthew 24:9-14?

QUESTION: Do you think there will be another world war, and if so, is it prophesied in the Bible?

______________________________________________

ANSWER: Yes. There is definitely going to be another world war – consider it to be the last of a three-part series that began in 1914.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have been deluded by the Watchtower into imagining that virtually all prophecy (except for a few trifling details) were fulfilled in the 1914-1919 period and that there cannot be another world war because it would only leave a few survivors – if any. Ironically, this delusion is, itself, also prophesied in the Scriptures.
