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…

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…
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…
Who is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? (A Context Adventure)
So here we are looking at Matt 24:45 and scratching our heads. Who is the faithful and discreet slave?? What if we had nothing to aid our understanding? No one to explain? Could we figure it out just from the pages of the Bible? Let’s try! How can we do that? We have to…
Today. Or not Today.
Commas can be life changing. I mean, for the thief next to Jesus, it was the difference between paradise today or paradise thousands of years in the future. Before we talk about the comma, though, think about what comes after it. “You will be with me in Paradise” Jws believe Jesus will reign over paradise…
Let’s use Logic: John 1:1, creation, demons translating things, etc.
Board my train of thought for a moment and let’s let the Bible explain itself. Let’s use Logic John 1:1 in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was (a) God. So Let’s go back to the beginning. Genesis 1:1 in the beginning God created the heavens and…
NWT Gospel Twisting
Compare each phrase side by side. But pay most attention to the highlights. This is THE GOSPEL we are talking about. The main message of salvation…the MESSAGE we are to preach to the world! Let’s get it right! This is Paul’s definition of the Gospel (or good news of Christ) Paul tells us what was…
IF the Spirit of God dwells in you…
Reading Romans 8 this morning. It speaks for itself! People are either indwelled by the Spirit of God making them sons of God, having the life of God….or they do not belong to him. They cannot please him. They are “after the flesh”. JW! Please be born again! Jn 3:3 Truely truely I say to you,…
