I got this in the mail today and I thought “Oh, how nice, someone is sending out tracts to the public. (I got my letter from one of Jehovah’s witnesses last month and I also appreciate their efforts to share their faith as do all sorts of people who claim the title of Christianity). I…

Hi! Thanks for dropping in. You are viewing my personal notes from my study of the NWT.
I'm a mom...a Christian...a student of the Bible...and a family member of Jehovah's Witnesses. (Never been one myself)
Please understand, my motive is not to bash anyone's faith, but in these short studies, to show examples of how the NWT is strategically translated to conform to watchtower teaching at the expense of what scripture really says. I'll show you how Watchtower's own Kingdom Interlinear Greek text agrees with my Bible (and all the English translations) far more closely than it's own New World Translation.
I'm not a scholar...I don't speak Greek or Hebrew. I can only use the tools available to an English speaker (just like anyone else). But what I have found may surprise you.
I hope you will consider my research a labor of love...because that's what it is. This is just me studying to be equipped to witness to my witness family and any other witness who will listen.
My prayer is that Jehovah would reveal the truth about "the truth"

Responding to my Friendly Neighborhood Jehovah’s Witness.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have taken to letter writing during this “stay at home” season (Covid-19 is the timing of this post). So, I thought I would share photos of the written letter I sent back. May the power of the Gospel of Christ be at work.
“He was calling me out”
The links below are the stories of a husband and wife who both separately were called out of the witnesses and found freedom in Christ through the simple gospel of Grace. They now rest in knowing they have the salvation they used to work so hard to try to achieve. They are an example of…
The 144,000 – Who Are They? When Are They?
If you’re one of Jehovah’s witnesses, you are well acquainted with the 144,000. Let’s step into the context of the only places in the Bible this group is mentioned. (Revelation) Who are the 144000 in context? And when do they appear in history? (Or future) I made this little visual to help make it clear:…
House to House When it’s Convenient
All those in JW land know this verse: Jehovah’s Witnesses pride themselves with being the only ones going from house to house. In context of the New Testament, we know the early churches met in homes. (Act 2:2,46, 5:42, romans 16:3-5 etc). Apostles and teachers would travel around from “house to house” visiting and preaching…
Our Savior God/Jesus
I found this today as I was reading Titus. Read vs 2-3 carefully. Paul is talking about God…who made his word known… according to the command of who? “Our Savior God” It gets even better! In case there was any doubt who “our Savior God” is… check out the verses following: He is none other…
Jesus the only direct creation of Jehovah?
My purpose here isn’t to show that Jehovah made more things directly than Jesus (because, Biblically, Jesus was not created in the sense that he had a beginning. He only had a beginning as a man which he humbled himself to become) What I want to point out is the obvious contradiction to this watchtower…
Are You a Confirmed Drunkard?
Here’s a quick “Twist in Translation” I found while studying the faithful and discreet slave (please see the study “Who is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? (A context adventure) for a clear study on the slave). It pretty much explains itself. See the passage below and meet me on the other side. My purpose here is…
Number Crunch
I am aware that since Jehovah’s Witnesses believe there is only room for 144,000 members in the anointed class and therefore expect those claiming to be one of this number to be dwindling as the elderly ones reach the end of their lives. I was curious how much the numbers of memorial partakers has been…
Is Scripture Sufficient?
If you are a JW, are you aware that the Watchtower teaches that independent Bible reading is not productive? You don’t believe me do you? 🙂 Here’s some quotes (not an exhaustive list by any means) We are told in the New Testament that the Holy Spirit is the one given to…
