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...
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...
What Bible Translation Is Most Accurate?
https://youtu.be/kaE6ATdyNo8 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...
How Is Prayer Different for the Children of God?
https://youtu.be/U3tSnCJjsAU 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...
Is it Wrong to Pray to Jesus Christ?
https://youtu.be/2tBPpHVLmBE 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,...
Stephen Lett Speaks with the Voice of a Stranger
https://youtu.be/T1Qhpcpx740 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...
Examining the Trinity Part 7: Why the Trinity is so Dangerous (Proof Texts John 10:30, 33)
https://youtu.be/GPinpBa5yO4 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...
Examining the Trinity, part 6: Debunking Proof Texts: John 10:30; 12:41 and Isaiah 6:1-3; 43:11, 44:24.
https://youtu.be/d8XXvwd0cBQ 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...

How the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Uses “Unity” as Propaganda
https://youtu.be/a1V5pjUciHQ 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...

Geoffrey Jackson Invalidates the 1914 Presence of Christ

https://youtu.be/ci4Cgfnrm0s 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...
JW News: Misleading Jehovah’s Witnesses, Stephen Lett’s 2021 Convention Review

Is the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Like the Rebel Korah Who Tried to Replace Moses?

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

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...

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 Existence of the Logos Disproves the Trinity
https://youtu.be/O_5_OqnnF6M 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 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 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.
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?
https://youtu.be/3wgqpxF4GwQ 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...
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.

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...

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...
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.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 12: The Faithful and Discreet Slave
Jehovah’s Witnesses contend that the men (currently 8) making up their governing body constitute a fulfillment of what they consider to be the prophecy of the faithful and discreet slave referred to at Matthew 24:45-47. Is this accurate or merely a self-serving interpretation? If the latter, then what or who is the faithful and discreet slave, and what of the other three slaves that Jesus refers to in Luke’s parallel account?
This video will attempt to answer all these questions using Scriptural context and reasoning.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 11: The Parables from the Mount of Olives
There are four parables that our Lord left us in his final discourse on the Mount of Olives. How do these relate to us today? How has the organization misapplied these parables and what harm has that done? We will begin our discussion with an explanation of the true nature of parables.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 10: The Sign of Christ’s Presence
Welcome back. This is part 10 of our exegetical analysis of Matthew 24. Up to this point, we have spent a lot of time cutting away all the false teachings and false prophetic interpretations that have done so much damage to the faith of millions of sincere and...
Examining Matthew 24, Part 9: Exposing the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Generation Doctrine as False
For over 100 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been predicting that Armageddon is just around the corner, based largely on their interpretation of Matthew 24:34 which speaks of a “generation” that will see both the end and the beginning of the last days. The question is, are they getting it wrong about which last days Jesus was referring to? Is there a way to determine the answer from Scripture in a way that leaves no room for doubt. Indeed, there is as this video will demonstrate.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 8: Pulling the Linchpin from the 1914 Doctrine
As hard as it may be to believe, the entire foundation of the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses is based on the interpretation of a single Bible verse. If the understanding they have of that verse can be shown to be wrong, their entire religious identity goes away. This video will examine that Bible verse and put the foundational doctrine of 1914 under a scriptural microscope.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 7: The Great Tribulation
Matthew 24:21 speaks of “great tribulation” to come upon Jerusalem which occurred during 66 to 70 C.E. Revelation 7:14 also speaks of “great tribulation”. Are these two events connected in some way? Or is the Bible speaking about two entirely different tribulations, totally unrelated to one another? This presentation will attempt to demonstrate what each scripture is referring to and how that understanding affects all Christians today.

Examining Matthew 24, Part 6: Is Preterism Applicable to Last Days Prophecies?
A number of exJWs seem to be persuaded by the idea of Preterism, that all the prophecies in Revelation and Daniel, as well as those in Matthew 24 and 25 were fulfilled in the first century. Can we definitely prove otherwise? Are there any adverse effects resulting from a Preterist belief?
Have Jehovah’s Witnesses Reached the Tipping Point?
While the 2019 Service Report seems to indicate that there is on-going growth in the Organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses, there is shocking news out of Canada to indicate that the figures have been cooked and in fact the organization is shrinking far faster than anyone had imagined.

James Penton examines the hypocrisy and autocracy of the Rutherford Presidency

James Penton speaks about the origins of the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses

Examining Matthew 24; Part 3: Preaching in All the Inhabited Earth
Was Matthew 24:14 given to us as a means to measure how close we are to the return of Jesus? Does it speak of a worldwide preaching work to warn all humanity of their looming doom and eternal destruction? Witnesses believe they alone have this commission and that their preaching work is life saving? Is that the case, or are they actually working against God’s purpose. This video will endeavour to answer those questions.
Examining Matthew 24, Part 2: The Warning
In our last video we examined the question asked of Jesus by four of his apostles as recorded at Matthew 24:3, Mark 13:2, and Luke 21:7. We learned that they wanted to know when the things he had prophesied – specifically the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple –...

The Nature of God’s Son: Who Cast Down Satan and When?

The Nature of God’s Son: Is Jesus the Archangel Michael?

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.
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)
Awakening: Part 5, What’s the Real Problem with JW.org
There is a key problem with Jehovah’s Witnesses that transcends all the other sins the organization is guilty of. Identifying this issue will help us to understand what is really the problem with JW.org and whether there’s any hope of fixing it.
