This is the final segment in the July 2022 Watchtower Review series. During the pandemic, we also received clear direction about how to hold congregation meetings and engage in the preaching work. Almost overnight, we began attending Christian meetings, assemblies, and conventions by means of videoconferencing tools. We also began witnessing almost entirely by letter and telephone. Jehovah blessed our efforts. Many branches have reported [...]
After a few false starts, I was able to get a forum up and running. It has its own domain. e-jehovahs-witnesses I am suspending the Commentary and Mailbag features on this site and will be posting comments on the Daily Text and answering Bible questions in the new forum. I posted a commentary and mailbag question today as a starter. Anyone may read the posts there [...]
This is an updated article that was published some time back but which was taken down, for reasons I cannot recall. According to the Watchtower 1914 was the most important date in all of human history. As all of Jehovah’s Witnesses know, virtually all prophecy has been anchored to that date. Up until about 1970, the Watchtower insisted that the great tribulation had even begun back [...]
Friday, May 7 Satan . . . is misleading the entire inhabited earth. —Rev. 12:9. A major way in which Satan and the demons try to mislead people is through spiritism. Those who practice spiritism claim to know or control things that humans cannot normally know or control. For example, some claim to be able to know the future by using divination or astrology. Others may act as though [...]
I am pleased to announce that a new translation of the second edition of Jehovah Himself Has Become King (2010) is available in the Slovak language. My thanks to Joel for his efforts. At this time I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who is multilingual to translate the book. I realize it is a huge undertaking, but Google Translate has come a long [...]
Hola mi hermanos y hermanas Back when e-watchman first came online a Mexican-American brother began translating my articles into Spanish. The site is on the domain e-testigosdejehova.com. Of course, he was disfellowshipped for his efforts. And along with the isolation his disfellowshipping brought upon him he has also suffered some severe health problems and consequently he left off the translation. But he did produce a Spanish version of [...]
Wednesday, October 21 What sort of persons ought you to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion!—2 Pet. 3:11. For us to gain God’s approval, our “acts of conduct” must be holy, that is, clean—morally, mentally, and spiritually. Moreover, we need to perform “deeds of godly devotion” with reverence for God and loyal attachment to him. Seeking his approval, then, involves not only our [...]
Well, after three weeks The Watchman's Post has gotten settled into a new home. Had I known how much tedious work was going to be involved with the move I may have just kept the site where it was . But that's the way it is with everything, isn't it? And the work is not done. You might notice many of the articles still do not have graphics [...]
For decades it has been obvious to me and others besides, that when Jesus spoke of those who will be resurrected, saying they will be as angels - not marrying, he was speaking of those who will experience the first resurrection and not the masses who will receive an earthly resurrection. The Watchtower has stubbornly insisted otherwise, defying all common sense. It seemed to me that [...]
Scientists theorize that there is a vast ocean of water stored deep below in earth’s mantle, which seeped from deep ocean trenches. Water may extend into the earth nearly 100 miles and contain three times the amount of water in the surface oceans. Interestingly, the Bible refers to this subterranean ocean in Genesis, where it states: “In the 600th year of Noah’s life, in the second [...]
