One of the things I have learned in witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses is the necessity of providing a positive presentation of your beliefs. The reason being, you can spend hours explaining the false predictions of the Watchtower to a JW, but the response will often be, “So what? Where else am I going to go? … More Where shall we turn if this isn’t the true organization?
According to the Watchtower, correctly understanding the 70 year prophecy, as mentioned in several places in Scripture, is crucial to understand the date for when Jerusalem was destroyed. According to The Watchtower, Jerusalem fell in 607. If Jerusalem didn’t fall in 607, then the chronology falls apart and 1914 is no longer true. Therefore, if … More Did the 70 years end in 539 B.C.E. or 537?
The Watchtower has long argued that Jesus’ kingship began in 1914, almost two thousand years after he had ascended into heaven. *** w08 2/15 p. 21 par. 3 Christ’s Presence—What Does It Mean to You? *** What of the “presence” that the apostles asked about? This is the translation of the Greek word pa·rou·si′a. Christ’s … More Was Jesus exalted as King in 33 C.E. or 1914?
*** w59 5/1 p. 269 pars. 6-7 Attain Completeness in the New World Society *** The whole body under the direction of the head moves and acts as a beautifully co-ordinated unit, perfectly organized.

In the April 15, 2010 Watchtower, there is an article titled, “Holy Spirit’s Role in the Outworking of Jehovah’s Purpose.” In this article, a change was made in a teaching of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. To illustrate the significance of this doctrine, open up your Watchtower library and type in “this generation.” Then, come to your … More The change of “this generation”…again
The next time a Jehovah’s Witness tells you, “stop being so critical of our beliefs!” or “all you seem to do is hate on us!” or “you should spend more time preaching the kingdom of God instead of trying to expose us!” then share with them the following quote: *** w92 7/15 p. 12 Christ … More Do you hate false religion? Then show it!
NOT ACCORDING TO THE WATCHTOWER: *** w63 11/15 p. 688 par. 3 Execution of Divine Judgment upon False Religion *** Can there be false religion? It is not a form of religious persecution for anyone to say and to show that another religion is false. It is not religious persecution for an informed person to … More Is it wrong to expose the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a false religion?
There is no doubt that the Watchtower was a bit confused as to whether or not 1975 would be the end. Nevertheless, they said what they said: *** Awake! October 8 1968 pp. 14-15 *** 6,000 Years Nearing Completion […] The fact that fifty-four years of the period called the ‘last days’ have already gone … More Did the Watchtower claim that 1975 would be the end?
In this episode, I reviewed a recording that took place between a JW who supposedly works at the Watchtower headquarters and a Christian who is questioning the JW belief of the relationship between the anointed class and Jesus as the mediator. Downloadable link HERE
In the November 15, 2012 Watchtower Study Edition on p. 17 par. 9, A humble person has heartfelt gratitude for Jehovah’s provisions, including spiritual food. Hence, such an individual is a diligent student of the Bible and an avid reader of the Watchtower and Awake! magazines. Like many other faithful servants of Jehovah, he may … More Reading the Bible or Watchtower publications? Offering a small corrective.

Quoted from p. 15 of the October 15, 2012 Watchtower Study Edition: 12 Differences of viewpoint can become a source of irritation in the congregation—even among the overseers. The Bible’s counsel can help us in this regard: “In showing honor to one another take the lead” and, “Do not become dis- creet in your own … More How a faithful JW is to approach their leaders with a disagreement
This is the 2nd part of my debate with Jehovah’s Witness Fred Torres. Whether you are a JW or not, I would really appreciate your help in sending out questions to Chris to challenge myself and my JW opponent. I have a feeling there won’t be many JW questions submitted, so feel free to play … More 2nd part of the Debate is up!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to have been given this opportunity to debate one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in audible format. To be honest, I don’t think this has ever happened in history whereby such a debate was recorded and made available. JW’s are usually quite shy to ever give a second thought … More Debate is posted! Proposition: “All New Covenant Christians Will Live Forever in Heaven with Christ.”
Today I answered an email from a JW named “Sarah” and then went on to discuss a comment made by my former JW opponent “Letusreason.”
First, I played a comment made by Dan Wallace regarding the New World Translation and then discussed some objections made by JW’s regarding the physical resurrection of Christ that can be read HERE.
In THIS VIDEO I go through a series of cross references found in the New World Translation to show that the Great Crowd inherits the abodes that are supposedly in heaven. This argument can be very simply demonstrated by following the cross references beginning in John 14:2, which takes you to Luke 16:9 and then to Matthew 25:34. … More John 14:1-3 – The Great Crowd inherits the abodes in heaven? (Jehovah’s Witness issue)
The following thread is a discussion I had with a JW apologist in light of this VIDEO. As you can see from the thread, I quickly challenged this JW on the fact that Watchtower leaders prohibited organ transplants for quite some time. The problem is, lives were probably lost and/or severely impaired by those who … More Organ Transplants and Watchtower apologies.
