By now, you will have heard all the news surrounding the so-called new light released at the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Watch Tower, Bible and Tract Society which is always held in October. I’m not going to do a rehash of what so many have already published about the...
Identifying True Worship
From the book, “The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life” (1968) down to their current teaching aid, Jehovah’s Witnesses have listed several criteria to identify whether a religion is true and approved of by God. Their claim has been that only their religion meets all these criteria. But have they made an honest assessment of themselves? This series of videos, using the Bible and historical records, examines how the Watchtower organization measures up to its own criteria.

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 Watch Tower Hides Evidence to Protect its Doctrine of 144,000 Anointed Christians
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...
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 lead you into...
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...
Jehovah’s Witnesses Violate the U.S. Constitution by their Shunning Practices

Identifying True Worship, Part 9: Our Christian Hope
Having shown in our last episode that the Other Sheep doctrine of Jehovah’s Witnesses is unscriptural, it seems approrpiate to pause in our examination of the teachings of JW.org to address the real Bible hope of salvation–the real Good News–as it pertains to Christians.
Identifying True Worship, Part 8: Who Are the Other Sheep?
This video, podcast and article explore the unique JW teaching of the Other Sheep. This doctrine, more than any other, affects the salvation hope of millions. But is it true, or a fabrication of one man, who 80 years ago, decided to create a two-class, two-hope system of Christianity? This is the question that affects all of us and which we will answer now.
Identifying True Worship, Part 7: 1914 – Scriptural Evidence

Identifying True Worship, Part 4: Examining Matthew 24:34 Exegetically
It's all well and good to tear down a false doctrine like the JW overlapping generations interpretation of Matthew 24:34—as we did in a previous video—but Christian love should always move us to build up. So after clearing away the debris of false teachings that have...
Identifying True Worship, Part 3: Examining the JW Overlapping Generations Doctrine
https://youtu.be/lCIykFonW4M Hello my name is Eric Wilson and this is now my fourth video, but it's the first one in which we've been able to actually get down to brass tacks; to examine our own doctrines in the light of Scripture and the purpose of this whole series...
Identifying True Worship, Part 2: Has Jehovah Always Had an Organization?
https://youtu.be/r3kLWgYC-X0 Hello, my name is Eric Wilson. In our first video, I put forward the idea of using the criteria that we as Jehovah's Witnesses use to examine whether other religions are considered to be true or false on ourselves. So, that same criteria,...
Identifying True Worship, Part 1: What Is Apostasy
I e-mailed all my JW friends with a link to the first video, and the response has been an resounding silence. Mind you, it's been less than 24 hours, but still I expected some response. Of course, some of my deeper thinking friends will need time to view and think...
Identifying True Worship – Introduction
