WT Review

This is the last article in the series examining the May, 2024 Watchtower. I am still trying to mentally process the Watchtower’s most recent “new light.” As stated in the previous article in this series, it is doubtful that Jehovah’s Witnesses will perceive that the Governing Body has repudiated everything it has ever taught regarding the urgency of getting out of Babylon the Great before God’s [...]

This is part six of the review of the May, 2024 Watchtower On his last sojourn to Jerusalem, Jesus stunned his apostles when he viewed the temple and said that no stone would be left standing upon a stone and not thrown down. After a few days, the apostles approached Jesus privately and asked for more details. They wanted to know when these things would befall [...]

This is part five of the Watchtower Review series. Listed under the subheading Things We Do Know the paragraph states: 11 We do know several things about future events. For example, we know that at Armageddon, people will be dealt with on the basis of how they have treated Christ’s brothers. (Matt. 25:40) Those judged as sheep will have shown their support for the anointed and for [...]

This is part four of the review of the May 2024 Watchtower article entitled: What Do We Know About Jehovah’s Future Judgments? When Jesus was among his disciples he often spoke about his being raised up upon a stake and killed. His disciples, even his chosen apostles could not understand Jehovah’s future judgments at that time. The reason they could not is because they had preconceived [...]

Part Three: This is a continuation of the consideration of the Watchtower article entitled: What Do We Know About Jehovah’s Future Judgments? There is a subheading in the article that states: WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW. Bluntly, what they admit to not knowing is insignificant compared to what they actually do not know. One could write a book about what Jehovah’s Witnesses do not know about [...]

Part Two This is a continuation of the consideration of the Watchtower article entitled: What Do We Know About Jehovah’s Future Judgments? 2 Jehovah continues to help us to have a clearer understanding of the major events that lie just ahead. (Prov. 4:18; Dan. 2:28) We can be certain that by the time the great tribulation starts, we will know all we need to know in order to endure [...]

What do we know about Jehovah’s future judgments? That is the question posed in the May 2024, Watchtower Magazine, which is an edited version of what was presented at last year’s Annual Meeting. And this is my response to it. The first paragraph jumps right in, so let’s consider it and do some unpacking, as it were. WE ARE living in exciting times! Each day, Bible [...]

Continuing with the review of the article appearing in the April 2024 Watchtower entitled Never Leave Spiritual Paradise. 7 Happy and content. God’s people can “shout joyfully” because their heart overflows with appreciation. (Read Isaiah 65:14.) The upbuilding truths and comforting promises in God’s Word and our solid hope based on Christ’s ransom sacrifice give us a “good condition of the heart.” Talking about these things [...]

This post is part three of a review of the Watchtower’s article on spiritual paradise. (Click here for part one. And here for part two) The article lists five bullet points as proof that Jehovah’s Witnesses are in spiritual paradise. Let us consider the first one. Paragraph five states: 5 Healthy and refreshed. Isaiah’s prophecy draws a vivid contrast between what life is like for those inside [...]

This post is part two of a review of the Watchtower’s article on spiritual paradise. (Click here for part one) Spiritual paradise once really existed, at least for a short while. It existed in the literal paradise called the Garden of Eden. There were only two people who lived in the paradise park. It was a spiritual paradise because the two humans who lived there had [...]
