An eagle-eyed reader shared this little gem with us: In Psalm 23 in the NWT, we see that verse 5 speaks about being anointed with oil. David is one of the other sheep according to JW theology, so he can’t be anointed. Yet the old songbook song based on Psalm...Young Ones, You Can Have a Satisfying Life

The Spanish Field and Donations
The Spanish Field Jesus said: “Look! I say to you: Lift up your eyes and view the fields, that they are white for harvesting.” (John 4:35) Some time back we started a Spanish “Beroean Pickets” web site, but I was disappointed that we got very...An Experience with Witnesses at the Door

“Be transformed by making your mind over.” – Romans 12:2 [From ws 11/18 p.23 January 28, 2019 – February 3, 2019] Last week’s Watchtower article was discussing the subject “Who molds your thinking?”. In it the Organization made the claim “The faithful and discreet...
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.

“Stop being molded by this system of things.” – Romans 12:2 [From ws 11/18 p.18 January 21, 2019 – January 27, 2019] A better question for this article to pose and answer truthfully would be “Who molds your thinking, God’s word or Watchtower publications?” Of...Defining Christianity
This is the first video in a new series called “Bible Musings.” I’ve created a YouTube playlist under that title. I’ve been wanting to do this for some time, but there always seemed to be something more pressing to clear away first. There still is, and there...Trust in Jehovah and Live

Awakening: “Religion Is a Snare and a Racket”
“For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.” (1Co 15:27)
