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...

We’ve considered two talks so far in our coverage of the October 2023 Annual Meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Until now neither talk has contained information that you might call “life threatening”. That’s about to change. The next symposium talk, delivered by Geoffrey...

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...

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...
