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...

Are Jehovah’s Witnesses true Christians? They think they are. I used to think that as well, but how do we prove it? Jesus told us that we recognize men for what they truly are by their works. So, I’m going to read something to you. This is a short text sent to a...

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,...

https://youtu.be/CTSLVDWlc-g Would you consider the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses to be the “low-hanging fruit” of the world’s religions? I know that sounds like a cryptic question, so let me give it some context. Jehovah’s Witnesses have long preached that the...

https://youtu.be/JdMlfZIk8i0 In my previous video which was part 1 of this series on the Sabbath and the Mosaic law, we learned that Christians are not required to keep the Sabbath as ancient Israelites did. We are free to do so, of course, but that would be a...

Does our salvation as Christians depend on keeping the Sabbath? Men like Mark Martin, a former Jehovah’s Witness, preach that Christians must observe a weekly Sabbath day in order to be saved. As he defines it, keeping the Sabbath means setting aside the 24-hour time...

https://youtu.be/aMijjBAPYW4 In our last video, we saw overwhelming scriptural evidence proving that loyal, god-fearing men and women who lived before Christ have gained the reward of entry into the Kingdom of God by means of their faith. We also saw how the...

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. In...

https://youtu.be/CC9BQKhl9Ik This week, Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world will be studying Article 40 in the September 2022 Watchtower. It is titled “Bringing the Many to Righteousness.” Like last week’s study that covered John 5:28, 29 about the two...

This is a letter that a Bible student, who attends the Bereoan Pickets’ Zoom Meetings, sent to one of Jehovah’s Witnesses who had been conducting a long-term Bible study with her. The student wanted to provide a series of reasons for her decision not to...

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...

In a previous video titled “How Do You Know You Are Anointed by Holy Spirit?” I referred to the Trinity as being a false doctrine. I made the assertion that if you believe the Trinity, you’re not being led by Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit wouldn’t...

I get e-mails regularly from fellow Christians who are working their way out of the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses and finding their path back to Christ and through him to our Heavenly Father, Yahweh. I try my best to answer every e-mail I get because we are all...

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...
by Wendy Wiens | Oct 20, 2022 | Sabbath |
According to Seventh-day Adventists, a religion of more than 14 million people, and folks like Mark Martin, an ex JW activist gone evangelical preacher, we won’t be saved if we don’t observe the Sabbath—that means to perform no “works” on Saturday (according to the...

Following the release in English and Spanish of my last video on the question of whether or not it’s proper to pray to Jesus, I got a fair bit of pushback. Now, I expected that from the Trinitarian movement because, after all, to trinitarians, Jesus is God Almighty....
by Meleti Vivlon | Sep 30, 2022 | Bible Musings, Videos |
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...

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...

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...

So this is going to be the first in a series of videos discussing the proof texts that Trinitarians refer to in an effort to prove their theory. Let’s begin by laying down a couple of ground rules. The first and most important is the rule covering ambiguous...

(This video is aimed specifically at Jehovah’s Witnesses, so I will be using the New World Translation all the time unless otherwise stated.) The term PIMO is of recent origin and was coined by Jehovah’s Witnesses who find themselves being forced to hide...

We all know what “propaganda” means. It is “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” But it may surprise you, as it did me, to learn where the word originated. Exactly 400...

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...

God’s Nature: How Can God Be Three Distinct Persons, But Just One Being? There is something fundamentally wrong with the title of this video. Can you spot it? If not, I’ll get to that at the end. For now, I wanted to mention that I got some very interesting...
