In the April 2024 episode of JW Broadcasting, David Splane warns all that would oppose the preaching work done by Jehovah’s Witnesses that they are fighters against God and are doomed to fail. There is only one problem, while preaching about Jesus and his kingdom was a command given to his apostles, there is no […]

The teaching of the Watchtower society that the apostles witnessed from house to house is primarily based on two texts: “And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus. Acts 5:42 “while I did not hold back from telling […]
In the previous post an examination of every opportunity Jesus took advantage of for teaching the people was made. In not one of them did we find a description of Jesus approaching a home, knocking on the door and giving a presentation about the kingdom of God. The Bible tells us that the twelve were […]
If you were to ask anyone on the street what they know about Jehovah’s Witnesses, I would guess the most common response would be that they bring their message from door to door. It is perhaps their trademark. In fact, witnesses themselves would no doubt respond that it is the one feature that sets them […]
And I heard the number of those who were sealed, 144,000, sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel: Revelation 7:4. Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. I heard a […]
During his ministry, Jesus showed courage by boldly exposing the religious leaders for misleading the people with false teachings. -Matthew 23:13-36. He continued to do this even though his life was threatened. -John 5:15-18. Twice, he fearlessly cleansed the temple, driving out those who were defiling his Father’s worship there. -Matthew. 21:12, 13; John 2:14-17. […]
Before I begin with the subject at hand I thought it would be helpful, for those interested in technical accuracy, to make a small clarification. Since the exact pronunciation of the divine name is unknown, it is not the aim of this post nor of the one previous to this, “Did Jesus Proclaim the Name […]
In a previous post entitled: “Restoring the Name Jehovah to the New Testament?” I examined what scholars and researchers had to say about the occurrence of the tetragrammaton in the Septuagint and earliest copies of the Christian writings. That article began with comments made by governing body member Geoffrey Jackson in a 2018 JW Broadcast […]
In a September 2015 morning worship talk entitled Jehovah Blesses Obedience, Anthony Morris III commented on what he considered to be irrefutable scriptural evidence for there being a first century governing body. Is this really the case? Did the apostles and elders in Jerusalem form a governing body that directed the preaching work in all […]
Those obeying and not obeying his sayings (Matt. 7:24-27) “Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does them will be like a discreet man who built his house on the rock. And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and lashed against that house, but it did not […]
