Is the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Like the Rebel Korah Who Tried to Replace Moses?
Jehovah’s Witnesses have a pat way of dismissing anyone who disagrees with them. They employ a “poisoning the well” ad hominem attack, claiming the person is like Korah who rebelled against Moses, God channel of communication with the Israelites. They have been...The Governing Body’s New Donation Arrangement Proves Jehovah is not Backing the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses
This September 2021, the congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are going to be presented with a resolution, an appeal for money. This is huge, though I daresay the true significance of this event will go unnoticed by many Jehovah’s Witnesses. The...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.
Saving Humanity, Part 3: Does God Bring People to Life Only to Destroy Them?
In the previous video, in this “Saving Humanity” series, I promised you we would discuss a very controversial parenthetical passage found in the book of Revelation: “(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.)” – Revelation 20:5a...Saving Humanity, Part 2: Life and Death, Your View or God’s?
Jehovah God created life. He also created death. Now, if I want to know what life is, what life represents, does it not make sense to go first to the one who created it? The same can be said for death. If I want to know what death is, what it consists of, would not...Are Jehovah’s Witnesses in Spain actually trying to victimize those who already feel like victims?
There is a David versus Goliath showdown set to play out in Spain. It seems that the Spanish branch of the multi-billion-dollar corporation that is the watchtower Bible and tract society is trying to shut down the recently formed Association called “Asociación...What Does It Mean to Be “Born Again”?
When I was a Jehovah’s Witness, I engaged in preaching from door-to-door. On many occasions I encountered Evangelicals who would challenge me with the question, “Are you born again?” Now to be fair, as a witness I really didn’t understand what it meant to be born...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...Saving Humanity, Part 1: 2 Deaths, 2 Lifes, 2 Resurrections
A few weeks ago, I got the results of a CAT scan in which it was revealed that the aortic valve in my heart has created a dangerous aneurysm. Four years ago, and only six weeks after my wife passed away from cancer, I had open-heart surgery—specifically, a Bentall...Young Men—How Can You Gain the Trust of Others?
[W21/03 p. 2] Reports are coming in that fewer and fewer young men are reaching out for “privileges” in the congregation. I believe that in great part this is due to the fact that young people are active on the internet and so are aware of the gross hypocrisy of the...Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment
In our last video, we studied how our salvation depends on our willingness not only to repent of our sins but also on our readiness to forgive others who repent of the wrongs they have committed against us. In this video, we are going to learn about one additional...Do We Have to Forgive Everybody to Be Saved?
We have all been hurt by someone in our life. The hurt may be so severe, the betrayal so devastating, that we can never imagine being able to forgive that person. This can pose a problem for true Christians because we are supposed to forgive one another freely from...Understanding Headship in the Congregation
[w21/02 Article 7: April 19-25] PREVIEW [From the WT article] What is the role of sisters in the congregation? Is every brother the head of every sister? Do elders and family heads have the same type of authority? In this article, we will consider these questions in...The Head of the Woman is the Man
[w21/02 Article 6: April 12-18] The entire premise of this series of articles has been that head (Greek: kephalé) refers to someone in authority over others. This turns out to be false as explained thoroughly in this article, “The Role of Women in the Christian...Bible Musings: Is Truth Important?
I want to read you something that Jesus said. This is from the New Living Translation of Matthew 7:22, 23. “On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I...The Existence of the Logos Disproves the Trinity
In my last video on the Trinity, we examined the role of Holy Spirit and determined that whatever it actually is, it is not a person, and so could not be the third leg in our three-legged Trinity stool. I got a lot of staunch defenders of the Trinity doctrine...No Watchtower Study Article is provided for the coming week.
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...Where are we going in 2021? Memorial and Meetings, Money, Truth and Publishing
Today we’re going to talk about the memorial and the future of our work. In my last video, I made an open invitation to all baptized Christians to attend our online memorial of Christ’s death on the 27th of this month. This caused a bit of a stir in the commenting...The Great Crowd of Other Sheep Praise God and Christ
“Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Revelation 7:10 [Study 3 from ws 1/21 p.14, March 15 – March 21, 2021] As a background, you may wish to read the following previously published articles which discuss who the Great Crowd of...Join us for the 2021 Memorial of Christ’s Death

“Let us continue loving one another, because love is from God.” 1 John 4:7 [Study 2 from ws 1/21 p.8, March 8 – March 14, 2021] All was good for the first nine paragraphs, but the Organization just could not stick to the theme and resist the temptation to twist the...The Importance of Proper Research
“Now the latter [the Beroeans] were more noble-minded than those in Thes·sa·lo·niʹca, for they received the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the Scriptures daily as to whether these things were so.” Acts 17:11 The above theme scripture is...Read this in your Language:
