. “Be dressed and ready and have your lamps burning, and you should be like men waiting for their master to return from the marriage, so when he comes and knocks, they may at once open to him.” – Luke 12:35-36 Who will endure the day of his coming?

Spiritual paradise or famine?

2024-01-30T15:30:57-05:00January 30th, 2024|WT Review|

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 [...]

World War Three Update

2024-08-04T06:58:16-04:00August 26th, 2023|Featured, Jeremiah|

As Nebuchadnezzar’s war machine began to lay siege to Jerusalem Jeremiah found himself in detention in the doomed city. It was at the order of King Zedekiah that Jeremiah was under guard. The king did not like the prophet’s message. This is proof that Zedekiah had gotten the message.  Although I have never had any official response to my many open letters sent directly to [...]

Are you saying you are a prophet?

2023-07-17T09:01:55-04:00July 17th, 2023|

The following is my response to an email from 2003 archived here. At the time I was an active JW and posted articles online anonymously. Article has been slightly edited.  In last week's mailbag, a questioner wrote:  "I can only wonder, why? Every essay I've read on this site either defies or directly challenges the teachings of this cult, or accuses them of wrongdoing. So why [...]

The good news will be preached first, and then the end will come

2023-04-01T11:17:51-04:00March 31st, 2023|Page Two|

Jehovah’s Witnesses have a unique message. It is the Bible’s message, otherwise called the gospel—the good news. The good news is that God has arranged for a new government—a global government---even a one-world government that will take complete control over the earth’s affairs. The government God intends to install—otherwise known as the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the heavens—will be administered by God’s [...]

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble

2023-03-29T02:48:56-04:00March 28th, 2023|Jeremiah|

God has a purpose and Jehovah’s Witnesses are privileged to know it—at least the general outline of it; albeit, the immediate future is another matter, which is the subject of this article. Jehovah’s eternal purpose is as simple as it is profound. The divine purpose centers around Jesus. This is no revelation. Except, it goes beyond Christ. Jehovah has purposed to adopt 144,000 sons from among [...]

Keep Ready for Jehovah’s Day – Watchtower review.

2023-03-24T12:57:27-04:00March 23rd, 2023|WT Review|

The June 2023 Watchtower has an article entitled Keep Ready For Jehovah’s Day. The opening paragraph states an oft-repeated error: WHEN the Bible speaks of “Jehovah’s day,” it refers to the time when Jehovah judges his enemies and brings salvation to his people. In the past, Jehovah at times carried out judgments. (Isa. 13:1, 6; Ezek. 13:5; Zeph. 1:8) In our time, “Jehovah’s day” begins with the attack on [...]

Psalms #29 – Give Jehovah the glory due his name

2023-04-09T08:46:47-04:00December 28th, 2022|Psalms|

“Give Jehovah his due, you sons of mighty ones, give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength. Give Jehovah the glory due his name. Bow down to Jehovah in holy adornment.” What do you give to the man who has everything? That is an oft-used expression. Of course, there is no man (or woman) who has everything. True, some people may have more money [...]
