Examining Matthew 24; Part 3: Preaching in All the Inhabited Earth

Was Matthew 24:14 given to us as a means to measure how close we are to the return of Jesus? Does it speak of a worldwide preaching work to warn all humanity of their looming doom and eternal destruction? Witnesses believe they alone have this commission and that their preaching work is life saving? Is that the case, or are they actually working against God’s purpose. This video will endeavour to answer those questions.

Does God Exist?

Does God Exist?

After leaving the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses, many lose their faith in the existence of God. It seems that these ones had faith not in Jehovah but in the organization, and with that gone, so was their faith. These often turn to evolution which is built on the premise that all things evolved by random chance. Is there proof of this, or can it be disproved scientifically? Likewise, can the existence of God be proven by science, or is it just a matter of blind faith? This video will attempt to answer these questions.

Know Your Enemy

[From ws 5/18 p. 22 – July 23– July 29] “We are not ignorant of [Satan’s] schemes.”​—2 Corinthians 2:11, ftn. Introduction (Par.1-4) (Par 3) “Apparently, Jehovah did not want to give Satan undue prominence by devoting large portions of the Hebrew Scriptures to...

Should We Obey the Governing Body

One of our readers drew my attention to a blog article which I think reflects the reasoning of most Jehovah’s Witnesses. The article begins by drawing a parallel between the self-declared ‘non-inspired, fallible’ Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses and other groups...

Are We in the Last Days?

This forum is for the study of the Bible, free from the influence of any particular religious system of belief.  Nevertheless, the power of indoctrination as practiced by the various Christian denominations is so pervasive that it cannot be ignored altogether,...

Your Deliverance Is Near!

[this article is contributed by Alex Rover] The Governing Body has been steadily working toward a new prophetic framework over the past decade or so. An ounce of ‘new light’ at a time, just the right amount of change to make the friends excited, but not too much to...

Daniel and the 1,290 and 1,335 Days

This week’s Bible reading covers Daniel chapters 10 to 12.  The final verses of chapter 12 contain one of the more enigmatic passages in Scripture. To set the scene, Daniel has just finished the extensive prophecy of the Kings of the North and South. The final verses...

Jehovah’s Witnesses in Italy (1891-1976)

This is a well-researched manuscript from a correspondent in Italy into the history of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Italy from the early days of the Italian Bible Students Association from 1891 down to the days of the prophetic fiasco that was the 1975 expectation of the Great Tribulation.

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Blood Guilty Because They Ban Blood Transfusions?

Countless young children, not to mention adults, have been sacrificed on the altar of the highly criticized “No Blood Doctrine” of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Are Jehovah’s Witnesses being wrongly maligned for faithfully adhering to God’s command regarding the misuse of blood, or are they guilty of creating a requirement that God never intended us to follow? This video will attempt to show from scripture which of these two alternatives is true.

Dealing with Sinners – Part 2

In the previous article on this topic, we analyzed how the principles Jesus revealed to us at Matthew 18:15-17 can be used to deal with sin within the Christian Congregation.  The law of the Christ is a law based on love.  It cannot be codified, but must be fluid,...
