Applying the Two-Witness Rule Equitably
The two-witness rule (see De 17:6; 19:15; Mt 18:16; 1 Tim 5:19) was intended to protect the Israelites from being convicted based on false accusations. It was never intended to shield a criminal rapist from justice. Under the law of Moses, there were provisions to...The Two-Witness Rule under the Microscope
[A special thanks goes out to contributing writer, Tadua, whose research and reasoning are the basis for this article.] In all likelihood, only a minority of Jehovah’s Witnesses have viewed the proceedings that took place over the past couple of years in Australia....Exposing the Governing Body’s Heartless Method of Gaslighting Jehovah’s Witnesses to Exploit Them
Hello everyone and welcome to the Beroean Pickets channel! I’m going to show you a picture from the April 2013 Watchtower Study article. Something is missing from the image. Something very important. See if you can pick it out. Do you see it? Where’s Jesus? Our Lord...After Condemning Beards for Almost a Century, the Governing Body Rules That it’s Now Okay to Have One
In the December 2023 update #8 on JW.org, Stephen Lett announced that beards are now acceptable for JW men to wear. Of course, the reaction from the activist community was swift, widespread, and thorough. Everyone had something to say about the absurdity and hypocrisy...Reaping What You Sow: The Tragic Harvest of Jehovah’s Witnesses Unbiblical Shunning Practices
On March 9th, 2023, there was a mass shooting at a kingdom hall in Hamburg, Germany. A disassociated member of the congregation killed 7 people including a 7-month-old fetus and wounded many others before turning the gun on himself. Why is this? The country of...The Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Spain is Suing a Little Flock of Its Victims
Eric Wilson There is a David vs. Goliath fight going on right now in the law courts of Spain. On the one hand, there are a small number of individuals who consider themselves to be victims of religious persecution. These comprise the “David” in our scenario. The...A Few Suggestions on Finding the Best Way to Leave the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses
The title of this video is “A Few Suggestions on Finding the Best Way to Leave the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses.” I imagine that someone without any connections to or experience with the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses might read this title and wonder,...Exposing Resurrection Falsehoods Fed to Jehovah’s Witnesses By the Watchtower
https://youtu.be/YNud9G9y7w4 Every so often, a Watchtower study article comes along that is so egregious, so full of false teachings, that I can’t let it pass by without comment. Such is the study article for this week of November 21-27, 2022. The title of the study...The JW Governing Body Overrules Jesus’ Command on How We Should Pray to God!
Once more, Jehovah’s Witnesses block your approach to God as Father. If, by any chance, you have been following my series of videos on the Trinity, you will know that my principal concern with the doctrine is that it hinders a proper relationship between us as...Jehovah’s Witnesses Say it is Wrong to Worship Jesus, but Are Happy to Worship Men
Click here to view video Hello, the title of this video is “Jehovah’s Witnesses Say it is wrong to Worship Jesus, but Are Happy to Worship Men”.

They will...JW News: Misleading Jehovah’s Witnesses, Stephen Lett’s 2021 Convention Review
The 2021 Powerful by Faith! Regional Convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses concludes in the usual way, with a final talk that gives the audience a recap of the convention highlights. This year, Stephen Lett gave this review, and so, I felt it only right to do a little...The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Makes a Pathetic Attempt to Deal with Bad Media Reports
[Eric Wilson] In the Saturday afternoon session of the 2021 “Powerful by Faith!” annual convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Governing Body member, David Splane, delivered a talk which is so outrageous that it fairly screams for a commentary. This talk demonstrates...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.
Jehovah’s Witnesses Violate the U.S. Constitution by their Shunning Practices
The murder trial of ex-police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd was televised. In the state of Minnesota, it is lawful to televise trials if all parties agree. However, in this case the prosecution did not want the trial televised, but the judge...Should I Get Re-Baptized? Examining How Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Invalidated Baptism
Since my recent video inviting all baptized Christians to share the Lord’s evening meal with us, there has been a lot of activity in the comment sections of the English and Spanish YouTube channels questioning the whole issue of baptism. For many, the question is...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.
The Judicial System of Jehovah’s Witnesses (Part 2): Shunning…is this what Jesus wanted?
Hello, my name is Eric Wilson. One of the practices which has resulted in an enormous amount of criticism of Jehovah’s Witnesses is their practice of shunning anyone who leaves their religion or who is expelled by the elders for what is considered by them to be...The Judicial System of Jehovah’s Witnesses: From God or Satan?
In an effort to keep the congregation clean, Jehovah’s Witnesses disfellowship (shun) all unrepentant sinners. They base this policy on the words of Jesus as well as the apostles Paul and John. Many characterize this policy as cruel. Are Witnesses being unjustly maligned for simply obeying the commands of God, or are they using scripture as an excuse to practice wickedness? Only by strictly following the Bible’s direction can they truly claim that they have God’s approval, otherwise, their works could identify them as “workers of lawlessness”. (Matthew 7:23)
Which is it? This video and the next will attempt to answer those questions definitively.
Is the Shunning Policy practiced by Jehovah’s Witnesses their version of the Hellfire Doctrine?
How the “Shunning” practiced by Jehovah’s Witnesses compares to the Hellfire doctrine. Years ago, when I was a full-fledged Jehovah’s Witness, serving as an elder, I met a fellow witness who had been a Muslim in Iran before converting. This was the first time I had...“The Spirit Itself Bears Witness”
“The spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are God’s children.” – Romans 8:16 [From ws 1/20 p.20 Study Article 4: March 23 – March 29, 2020] This is the first of two articles intended to prepare the brothers and sisters for the memorial. Unfortunately,...Do Jehovah’s Witnesses have “a Disapproved Mental State”?
“Just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a disapproved mental state, to do the things not fitting.” (Romans 1:28 NWT) It may seem like a bold statement even to suggest that the leadership of Jehovah’s Witnesses has been given over...Jehovah’s Witnesses and Blood, Part 5
In the first three articles of this series we consider the historical, secular and scientific aspects behind the No Blood doctrine of Jehovah’s Witnesses. In the fourth article, we analyzed the first bible text which Jehovah’s Witnesses are using to...Theology Unique to Jehovah’s Witnesses: The Ministry Method, Part 1
On many occasions, when discussing some new or existing scriptural point with a Jehovah’s Witness (JW), they might concede that it cannot be established from the Bible or that it does not make sense scripturally. The expectation is that the JW in question might...Theology Unique to Jehovah’s Witnesses
In many conversations, when an area of Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) teachings becomes unsupportable from a biblical perspective, the response from many JWs is, “Yes, but we have the fundamental teachings right”. I started asking many Witnesses just what...The Spirit Bears Witness – How?
To me, one of the greatest sins of the leadership of the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses is the doctrine of the Other Sheep. The reason I believe this is that they are instructing millions of Christ’s followers to disobey their Lord. Jesus said:...The Spirit Bears Witness with Our Spirit
The number of partakes continues to rise. What does this imply? What does the Bible actually teach about the requirement to partake of the emblems symbolizing the blood and flesh of the Christ?
Limping on Two Opinions
This week’s CLAM Book Study makes some ironic application to Elijah’s words. We will see what happens when the application is turned inward.
Jehovah’s Witnesses and Blood – Part 3
Blood As Blood or Blood As Food? The majority in the JW community surmise that the No Blood doctrine is a biblical teaching, yet few comprehend what holding this position requires. To hold that the doctrine is biblical requires us to accept the premise that a...WT Study: One Hundred Years under Kingdom Rulership
[From ws15/11 for Jan. 25-31] “May the God of peace . . . equip you with every good thing to do his will.”— He 13:20, 21 This entire article is based on the premise that Jesus has been ruling over the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses since 1914. For a Scriptural...Why Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Preach the Vindication of Jehovah’s Sovereignty?
Thus humans, as well as God’s spirit sons, have the remarkable privilege of contributing to the vindication of Jehovah’s sovereignty by a course of integrity to him. (it-1 p. 1210 Integrity) The title of this article may seem like a redundant question. Who wouldn’t...WT Study: "You Are My Witnesses"
Theme Text: “’You are my witnesses,’ declares Jehovah” – Isa. 43:10” This is the first of a two-part study intended apparently to reinforce our belief in the divine origin of our name, Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Based on what he...JW Feb Broadcast, Part 2: Revealing How the Governing Body Controls the Mind of Their Followers
Have you heard the term “Denominational Blinders”? As one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, I encountered the logical fallacy of “denominational blinders” every time I went out in the door-to-door preaching work. Denominational Blinders refers to “arbitrarily ignoring or waving...JW Feb. Broadcast, Part 1: The GB Plays the Role of Victim in the Face of Negative News Reports

We are not so naïve as to believe that the many significant changes made by the 21st century Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses since the October 2023 annual meeting are the result of being guided by holy spirit. As we saw in the last video, their unwillingness to...Annual Meeting 2023, Part 7: What is the Unforgivable Sin?
This part 7 was supposed to be the final video in our series on the October 2023 annual meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, but I’ve had to divide it into two parts.

In a surprise move, the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has decided to use the November 2023 broadcast on JW.org to release four of the talks from the October 2023 Annual Meeting of the Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. We have not yet covered...Geoffrey Jackson’s “New Light” Could Cost You Your Life

The 2023 Annual Meeting of the Watch Tower, Bible and Tract Society has been widely criticized. But as they say, “every cloud has a silver lining”, and for me, this meeting has finally helped me comprehend what Jesus meant when he said: “The lamp of the body is the...Half-Truths and Outright Lies: Shunning Part 5
In the previous video in this series on shunning as practiced by Jehovah’s Witnesses, we analyzed Matthew 18:17 where Jesus tells his disciples to treat an unrepentant sinner as if that person were “a Gentile or a tax collector.” Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught that...The Compulsion of Self Sacrifice: Why JWs Imitate the Merciless Pharisees Instead of Jesus Christ
I’m going to show you the cover from the May 22, 1994 Awake! Magazine. It depicts over 20 children who refused blood transfusions as part of the treatment for their conditions. Some survived without blood according to the article, but others died. In 1994, I was a...Shunning Part 4: What Jesus Meant When He Told Us to Treat a Sinner Like a Gentile or Tax Collector!
This is the fourth video in our series on shunning. In this video, we’re going to examine Matthew 18:17 where Jesus tells us to treat an unrepentant sinner as a tax collector or a gentile, or a man of the nations, as the New World Translation puts it. You may think...Nicole Is Disfellowshipped for Standing Up for the Truth from God’s Word!

https://youtu.be/cu78T-azE9M In this video, we’re going to demonstrate from Scripture that the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses is wrong to teach that pre-Christian men and women of faith do not have the same salvation hope as spirit-anointed Christians.

From time to time, I get asked to recommend a Bible translation. Often, it’s ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who ask me because they have come to see how flawed the New World Translation is. To be fair, while the Witness Bible has its flaws, it also has its virtues. For...How Is Prayer Different for the Children of God?

Now, I expected that from the Trinitarian movement because, after all, to trinitarians, Jesus is God Almighty....Is it Wrong to Pray to Jesus Christ?
Hello everyone! I’m often asked whether it is proper for us to pray to Jesus Christ. It’s an interesting question. I’m sure that a Trinitarian would answer: “Of course, we should pray to Jesus. After all, Jesus is God.” Given that logic, it follows that Christians...Stephen Lett Speaks with the Voice of a Stranger
This video will focus on the September 2022 monthly broadcast of Jehovah’s Witnesses presented by Stephen Lett of the Governing Body. The goal of their September broadcast is to convince Jehovah’s Witnesses to turn a deaf ear to anyone who questions the teachings or...Examining the Trinity Part 7: Why the Trinity is so Dangerous (Proof Texts John 10:30, 33)
In my last video on the Trinity, I was showing how many of the proof texts Trinitarians use are not proof texts at all, because they are ambiguous. For a proof text to constitute real proof, it has to mean only one thing. For example, if Jesus were to say, “I am God...Examining the Trinity, part 6: Debunking Proof Texts: John 10:30; 12:41 and Isaiah 6:1-3; 43:11, 44:24.

In this video, we are going to examine Paul’s instructions regarding the role of women in a letter written to Timothy while he was serving in the congregation of Ephesus. However, before getting into that, we should review what we already know. In our previous video,...The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 4): Can Women Pray and Teach?
Paul appears to be telling us at 1 Corinthians 14:33, 34 that women are to be silent in congregation meetings and wait to get home to ask their husbands if they have any questions. This contradicts Paul’s earlier words at 1 Corinthians 11:5, 13 allowing women to both pray and prophecy in congregation meetings. How can we resolve this apparent contradiction in God’s word?
The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 3): Can a Women Be a Ministerial Servant?
Every religion has an ecclesiastical hierarchy of men who control doctrine and conduct. There is rarely a place for women. However, is the very idea of any ecclesiastical hierarchy unscriptural? This is the topic we will examine in part 3 of our series on the role of women in the Christian congregation.
The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 2) The Bible Record
Before we go making assumptions as to what role women can play in God’s Christian arrangement, we need to see how Jehovah God himself has used them in the past by examining the Bible account of various women of faith in both Israelite and Christian times.
The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 1): Introduction
The role within the body of Christ which women are to play has been misconstrued and misapplied by men for hundreds of years. It is time to put off all the preconceptions and bias that both sexes have been fed by the religious leaders of the various denominations of Christendom and pay heed to what God wants us to do. This video series will explore the role of women within the great purpose of God by allowing the Scriptures to speak for themselves while unmasking the many attempts men have made to twist their meaning as they fulfill God’s words at Genesis 3:16.
