Mike has been studying theology and apologetics since 2002. In 2007 he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology from the University of North Georgia. While Mike has a primary interest in the theology and history of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, he also enjoys the study of other groups which deny essential Christian truths. In addition to contributing with articles and videos at michaeljfelker.com, he has also written previously for CARM.org and the Journal for Trinitarian Studies and Apologetics. In 2016, Mike started the JW Review Podcast where he regularly reviews current Watchtower articles and analyzes their theology in light of Scripture.
When not involved in theology and apologetics, Mike enjoys working out, playing drums, spending time with his amazing bride Rachel, and trying to figure out a way to replace his blood with coffee.
MJF APOLOGETICS 
I enjoy your work and videos so very, very much.
Born into a crypto-Jewish household that was secular but living according to many Jewish customs but not knowing why (as were all other crypto-Jews until the ’80s when the Great Return, so to speak, began), my parents put me in the care of a JW after they divorced ( an aunt of no blood relation). So for a while, until I realized who and what I was, I did the Watchtower thing, from the mid 1980s for about 10 years.
I especially enjoyed your video about 3 years ago about the year 1919. A difficult subject that requires a tap dance sequence that ends with nothing less than sitting on a whoopie cushion, I too found the explanation ever-falling to prove a choosing. This was supposed to be their Pentecost moment, their Mt. Sinai, and yet they cannot explain it. Where the other moments are fire and trumpets, 1919 gets mostly an: “Eh…” of an explanation when you ask.
While Jewish today, after leaving the Watchtower I further studied religion and taught Church history for a Catholic diocese in Florida. But I eventually settled into the film industry, moved out to the West Coast, where I am today, and became a 3D specialist.
I just recently began to look back at the Witnesses when I suddenly realized so many years had passed and their prophecies should have shut them down by now. I was surprised (not really) to see them still around, but a totally different religion with different beliefs and different leadership.
Still holding on to 1919 but without any of the details they used to highlight. Very clever. Now it’s a softshoe, still ending with sitting on that whoopie cushion though.

Maybe one day you will get involved in the REAL preaching of God’s Kingdom and not this pulling down of others doing God’s will ! Maybe that is why you only have 5 members on this website.
Unless Jehovah builds the house,It is in vain that its builders work hard on it. Unless Jehovah guards the city,It is in vain that the guard stays awake Ps 127:1
More insults and no arguments
So says the person who has been insulting JW’s for many years now to the point of developing a OCD !
Disagreeing with someone’s theology is a different thing from personally insulting them.
Oh believe you me my friend, I have read some of the comments you make on your YouTube channel, not the video comments, but when someone makes a disparaging remark, and you support it with your little red hearts and also jump on the bandwagon !
Don’t think I do not notice , so less of the hypocrisy !
Show me an example of a personal attack that I made myself or approved.
Looks like you are determined to avoid showing us all clear scriptural proof that the holy spirit is God and is equal to God ?
I already provided this. The problem is, you’ve posted SO many comments that you probably can’t find it.
NOT on this website have you tried to defend your Trinity, apart from quoting Matt 28 which is mentioning 3 in one sentence which is NOT proof. So again I will ask you,
Show me ONE verse from the Bible that clearly tells us that the holy spirit is equal to God ? Or one verse that clearly says that the holy spirit is God ? And I am not talking about Matt 28 where all 3 are mentioned in the same verse or about lying to the holy spirit, but please can you show us all where it CLEARLY tells us that the holy spirit is equal to God and is God ?
It should not be that difficult for you, you say you read the Bible so just send me the chapter and verse which answer my question, that is all, no need for an explanation, just chapter and verse ??
You say in your bio at the top of the page to contact you for clarification. So here is my question:
You accept the Trinity teachng. Well up until the time of Christ Jews did not (and still do not) believe in the Trinity, OK, so now we get to the time of Jesus and the new Christian congregation, and now Jews according to your beliefs, are having to accept the Trinity, and as I understand it the Trinity is that There is God the father, God the SOn and God the holy spirit, and that all three are “co-equal, co-eternal and co-omniscient .
Right, so can you show me ONE verse from the Bible that clearly tells us that the holy spirit is equal to God ? Or one verse that clearly says that the holy spirit is God ? And I am not talking about Matt 28 where all 3 are mentioned in the same verse or about lying to the holy spirit, but please can you show us all where it CLEARLY tells us that the holy spirit is equal to God and is God ?
Will await your reply. Thanks
Looks like someone does not want to answer what is an awkward question for them ?
