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!
Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to themselves as being “in The Truth”. It has become a name, a means of identifying themselves as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. To ask one of them, “How long have you been in the truth?”, is synonymous with...EXPOSED! Does the JW GB Even Believe What It Teaches? What the Watch Tower UN Scandal Reveals
I have some very revealing new findings to share with you regarding the Organization’s scandalous 10-year affiliation with the United Nations Organization. I was agonizing on how best to present this evidence when, like mana from heaven, one of our viewers left this...Eric BZ, a Former Gilead Missionary From France, Tells His Story: Part 2

One of the brothers and sisters, that have come to know us through the YouTube channel and the growing community, ...Shunning, Part 3: Using Exegesis to Protect Ourselves from Being Deceived By Wicked Men
In the last video, we saw how the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses has distorted the meaning of Matthew 18:15-17 in a ludicrous attempt to make it appear to support their judicial system, based on the Pharisaical system with its ultimate punishment of shunning,...Shunning, Part 2: How the Governing Body Perverted Matthew 18 to Support a Judicial System
This is now the second video in this series on the shunning policies and practices of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I had to take a breather from writing this series to address the truly outrageous claim made in a Morning Worship video on JW.org that listening to the voice of...Kenneth Flodin in Morning Worship Talk Equates the Voice of the Governing Body with the Voice of Jesus
This is a recent Morning Worship video on JW.org that nicely demonstrates to the world which god Jehovah’s Witnesses worship. Their god is the one they submit to; the one they obey. This Morning Worship talk, innocently titled, “Jesus’ Yoke Is Kindly,” was delivered...Remembering Carl Olof Jonsson (1937 – 2023)
Carl Olof Jonsson, (1937-2023) I just received an email from Rud Persson, the author of Rutherford’s Coup, to tell me that his long-time friend and research partner, Carl Olof Jonsson, had passed away this morning, April 17, 2023. Brother Jonsson would have been 86...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...An Elder Sends a Threatening Text to a Concerned Sister
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...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,...Norway Defunds Watch Tower for Violating Human Rights
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...The Real Message Behind the Sabbath Commandment
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 Depend on Keeping a Sabbath Day?
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...The Long Con: How Watch Tower Altered the 1950 New World Translation to Support False Doctrine
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...The Watch Tower Hides Evidence to Protect its Doctrine of 144,000 Anointed Christians- Part 1
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...A Bible Student Writes to Her JW Teacher
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...People React to My Video on the Holy Spirit
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...How Do You Know You Are Anointed with Holy Spirit?
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...What Bible Translation Is Most Accurate?
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?
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....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.
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...PIMO No More: Confessing Christ Before Men
(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...How the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Uses “Unity” as Propaganda
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...Shunned for Studying the Bible
This video exposes the true nature of the Organization’s campaign to suppress any challenge to the authority of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s...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...God’s Nature: How Can God Be Three Distinct Persons, But Just One Being?
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...Part 2: Does it Grieve God’s Spirit When We Reject Our Heavenly Hope for an Earthly Paradise?
In our previous video titled “Does it Grieve God’s Spirit When We Reject Our Heavenly Hope for an Earthly Paradise? We asked the question about whether one could really have an earthly hope on paradise earth as a righteous Christian? We showed, with the use of...The Lord’s Supper: Remembering Jesus The Way He Wanted Us To!
The Lord’s Evening Meal: Remembering our Lord as He Wanted Us To! My sister who lives in Florida hasn’t been going to meetings at the Kingdom hall for over five years. In all that time, no one from her former congregation has visited her to check up on her, to...Does it Grieve God’s Spirit When We Reject Our Heavenly Hope for an Earthly Paradise?
You might be wondering about the Title of this video: Does it Grieve God’s Spirit When We Reject Our Heavenly Hope for an Earthly Paradise? Maybe that seems a little harsh, or a little judgmental. Bear in mind that it is meant especially for my ex JW friends who,...How Can We Be Saved by Going Through the Flames?
Jesus told his disciples that he would send the spirit and the spirit would guide them into all the truth. John 16:13 Well, when I was a Jehovah’s Witness, it wasn’t the spirit that guided me but the Watch Tower corporation. As a consequence, I got taught a lot of...A Judicial Committee Accuses Maciej W. of Apostasy for Spreading Truth on Social Media
The Trinity: Given by God or Sourced by Satan?
Each time I’ve released a video on the Trinity – this will be the fourth one – I get people commenting that I don’t really understand the Trinity doctrine. They are right. I don’t understand it. But here’s the thing: Each time someone has said that to me, I’ve asked...Geoffrey Jackson Invalidates the 1914 Presence of Christ
In my last video, “Geoffrey Jackson’s New Light Blocks Entry into God’s Kingdom” I analyzed the talk presented by Governing Body member, Geoffrey Jackson, in the 2021 annual meeting of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Jackson was releasing “new light” on the...Geoffrey Jackson’s New Light Blocks Entry into God’s Kingdom
Within hours of the closing of the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, a kind viewer forwarded me the entire recording. I know other YouTube channels got the same recording and produced exhaustive reviews of the meeting, which I’m sure many...Saving Humanity Part 6: Understanding God’s Love
In the previous video of this series titled “Saving Humanity, Part 5: Can we Blame God for our Pain, Misery, and Suffering?” I said that we would begin our study concerning the salvation of humanity by going back to the beginning and working forward from there....What Does It Say About JW.org That It Rewrites History to Hide Its Past Failures?
In the October 2021 issue of The Watchtower, there is a final article titled “1921 One Hundred Years Ago”. It shows a picture of a book published in that year. Here it is. The Harp of God, by J. F. Rutherford. There is something wrong with this picture. Do you know...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”. I’m sure that I’m going to get comments from disgruntled Jehovah’s Witnesses accusing me of misrepresenting them. They will...Is There Proof That the Holy Spirit has Left JW.org?
I don’t have time to comment on all the mistakes the Watchtower Society makes in its publications, but every now and then something catches my eye and I cannot, in good conscience, overlook it. People are trapped in this organization believing that it is God who...Learning From the Travesty of My Own Judicial Committee Appeal
The purpose of this video is to provide a little bit of information to assist those who are seeking to leave the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Your natural desire will be to preserve, if possible, your relationship with your family and friends. Often in the...The Gentile Times Reconsidered Is Back in Print!

This is video number five in our series, “Saving Humanity.” Up to this point, we have demonstrated that there are two ways of viewing life and death. There is “alive” or “dead” as we believers see it, and, of course, this is the only view that atheists have. ...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...JW News: Why Does the Governing Body Continue to Deny that They Are Demanding Monthly Pledges?
In a recent video, which I’ll reference above as well as in the description field of this video, we were able to show how the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses has come to a crossroads with its donation arrangement, and sadly, taken the wrong path. Why do we claim...Saving Humanity, Part 4: With What Kind of Body Will the Children of God Be Resurrected?
Since I started doing these videos, I’ve been getting all kinds of questions about the Bible. I’ve noticed that some questions get asked over and over, particularly those relating to the resurrection of the dead. Witnesses leaving the Organization want to know about...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...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...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...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...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...Join us for the 2021 Memorial of Christ’s Death
https://youtu.be/ya5cXmL7cII On March 27 of this year, we will be commemorating the memorial of the death of Jesus Christ online using Zoom technology. At the end of this video, I will be sharing the details of how and when you can join us online. I have also put...Examining the Trinity, Part 2: The Holy Spirit Is Not a Force, Nor a Person.
Let’s say that a man were to approach you on the street and tell you, “I’m a Christian, but I don’t believe Jesus is the Son of God.” What would you think? You probably be wondering if the man had lost his mind. How can you anyone call themselves a Christian, while...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.
Examining Socinianism: The Belief that Jesus Did Not Exist Before His Birth as a Human.
The religious leaders of Israel were the enemies of Jesus. These were men who considered themselves to be wise and intellectual. They were the most learned, well educated men of the nation and looked down on the general populous as uneducated peasants. Oddly...How Did the Bible Come to Us, and Is It Truly the Word of God?
Eric Wilson: Welcome. There are many who after leaving the organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses lose all faith in God and doubt that the Bible contains his word to guide us to life. This is so sad because the fact that men have misled us should not cause us to...The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 7): Headship in Marriage, Getting It Right!
When men read that the Bible makes them the head of the women, they often view this as a divine endorsement that they get to tell their wife what to do. Is that the case? Are they considering the context? And what does ballroom dancing have to to with headship in marriage? This video will attempt to answer those questions.
Two elders meet with Shawn Burke to encourage him
Shawn has been baptized for six years, but is having issues with some of the teachings of the organization. In situations like this, are the elders interested in helping the sheep, or are they more interested in enforcing compliance?
The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 6): Headship! It’s not what you think it is.
Research into the Greek of Paul’s day indicates that the famous verse of 1 Corinthians 11:3 about headship has been incorrectly translated resulting in untold suffering for both men and women.
The Role of Women in the Christian Congregation (Part 5): Does Paul Teach Women are Inferior to Men?
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.
Was Creation Accomplished in 144 Hours?
When I established this web site, its purpose was to gather research from diverse sources to try to determine what is true and what is false. Having been raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, I was taught that I was in the one true religion, the only religion that...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.
By Condeming “Despicable Apostates”, has the Governing Body Condemned Themselves?
Recently, the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses released a video in which one of their members condemns apostates and other “enemies”. The video was entitled: “Anthony Morris III: Jehovah Will “Carry It Out” (Isa. 46:11)” and can be found by following this link:
https://www.jw.org/finder?docid=1011214&item=pub-jwb_202009_11_VIDEO&wtlocale=E&appLanguage=E&prefer=content
Was he right to condemn those who oppose the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses in this way, or do the scriptures he uses to condemn others actually end up backfiring on the organization’s leadership?
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...Kicking against the Goads
[The following is the text from my chapter (my story) in the recently published book Fear to Freedom available on Amazon.] Part 1: Freed from Indoctrination “Mommy, am I going to die at Armageddon?” I was only five years old when I asked my parents that question. Why...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.
Media, Money, Meetings, and Me
Hello everyone and thanks for joining me. Today I wanted to talk on four topics: media, money, meetings and me. Beginning with media, I’m specifically referring to the publication of a new book called Fear to Freedom which was put together by a friend of mine, Jack...Examining the Trinity: Part 1, What does history teach us?
Eric: Hello, my name is Eric Wilson. The video you are about to see was recorded several weeks ago, but due to illness, I was not able to complete it until now. It will be the first of several videos analyzing the doctrine of the Trinity. I’m doing the video with Dr....Re-establishing the Christian Congregation: What Constitutes Honorable Marriage?
When we speak of re-establishing the Christian Congregation, we are not speaking of setting up a new religion. Quite the contrary. We are speaking about returning to the form of worship that existed in the first century—a form largely unknown in this day and age. ...What is your Thorn in the Flesh?
I was just reading 2 Corinthians where Paul talks about being afflicted with a thorn in the flesh. Do you remember that part? As a Jehovah’s Witness, I was taught that he was likely referring to his bad eyesight. I never liked that interpretation. It just seemed...Conspiracy Theories and the Great Trickster
Hello everyone. I’ve been getting emails and comments asking what has happened to the videos. Well, the answer is quite simple. I’ve been sick, so production has fallen off. I’m better now. Don’t worry. It wasn’t COVID-19, just a case of Shingles. Apparently, I had...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 Branch Response to the Letter from Felix’s Wife
This is my review of the letter from the Argentina Branch in response to the registered letters sent them by Felix and his wife.
My Awakening after 30 Years of Deception, Part 3: Achieving Freedom for Myself and My Wife
Introduction: Felix’s wife discovers for herself that the elders are not the “loving shepherds” that they and the organization proclaim them to be. She finds herself involved in a sexual abuse case in which the offender is appointed a ministerial servant despite the accusation, and it is discovered that he had abused more young girls.
The congregation receives the “preventive order” via text message to stay away from Felix and his wife just before the “The Love Never Fails” regional convention. All these situations lead to a fight that the branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses ignores, presuming its power, but which serves for both Felix and his wife to achieve freedom of conscience.
My Awakening after 30 years of deception, Part 2: Awakening
[Translated from Spanish by Vivi] By Felix of South America. (Names are changed to avoid retaliation.) Introduction: In Part I of the series, Felix from South America told us about how his parents learned about the Jehovah’s Witness movement and how his family...Examining Matthew 24, Part 13: The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats
Witness leadership use the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats to claim that the salvation of the “Other Sheep” depends on their obedience to the instructions of the Governing Body. They allege that this parable “proves” that there is a two-class system of salvation with 144,000 going to heaven, while the rest live as sinners on earth for the 1,000 years. Is that the true meaning of this parable or do Witnesses have it all wrong? Join us to examin the evidence and decide for yourself.
