You know Robert, you once said in a talk that the society should have used radio in their ministry. I think you're right. History might have been slightly altered for the better if they had taken advantage of radio from the first time they could have. Could you imagine driving down the road listening to talks, music, audio Bible dramas and news in a Biblical light? It would have been epic.

Anyway, thanks for e-watchman radio. Hopefully it will continue to reach more and more disappointed and downtrodden Witnesses.

The choice of music is an interesting topic, I've always liked heavy music, why? I have no idea but it resonates with me. For whatever reason it seems to get a bad rap particularly by "Christians" and in my opinion is misunderstood if given a blanket interpretation as being bad. For example one of my favorite songs is "man in the box" by Alice in Chains. When it was first released (in the 90s) Christians condemned the song because the chorus says "Jesus Christ" and they claimed it was blasphemous using Jesus name in vain. The problem is the very next words are "deny your maker". So like all things Christian the chorus was taken out of context. The meaning of the song is this world puts people in a box through corporate media and "sews" their eyes shut even to the point of them denying their maker. I'm sure if Alice in Chains did the same song with violins and harps and removed the word "sh!t" it would be praised by Christians but with a heavy beat and a dash of grunge people get their panties in a knot. I would love to know why?

They misunderstand much rock music. They condemned "Sympathy for the Devil" thinking it was about having sympathy for the Devil. In fact, the song goes on to expose Devil as the person behind all the evil we see around us. You know...like they have tried to do for years. People aren't stupid, and young people pick up on the lyrics to pop songs. I wonder how many heard Sympathy for the Devil and, wondering about the lyrics, looked deeper into the subject. I know I thought it made sense and put me on the road to find out more about God and the Devil and the roles they have in our lives.

The WT and the GB are promoting death! Spiritual as well as physical -
They are acting just like satan when he said to Eve that what Jehovah God made for them "just wasn't good enough" - so to speak.
[ We can protect our health by using natural remedies and nutritious food supplied by our creator - and it works, because Jehovah made it! ]
The truth is too simple for them - it's far above their [GB] heads!
(“Woe to the stupid prophets, who follow their own spirit, when they have seen nothing"

Ezekiel 13:3)


We were warned a long time ago putting trust in mankind, Isaiah2:21-22 "They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. 22 Quit admiring the human race, who breathe through their nostrils. Why should they be admired?"

Robert King has been proved right time and time again about the direction the world would be heading
the WTO on the other hand really have no room in their chronological understanding for another world war just as there really was no room for WW2 (but it seems we all missed that obvious contradiction of scripture chronology, at least for some years)
WW1 should have been the trigger for the GT and then the end would come, instead WW2 came followed by world peace, and now WW3 is coming, not what is expected by the WTO
when this happens i wonder if it will wake JWs from their invisible presence spell and their misonception of where they are in scriptural time?
or will the WT find new light to keep Jws on board with the 1914 eviction of Satan and Nation against nation war and the invisible return of Christ
Surely the WT leaders are running out of new light repairs to their structural failing 1914 wall and need to get some oil for their spiritual lamps in readiness for Christ.

Jesus told us "many would be stumbled and betray one another", and this was referring to our brothers and sisters. But of course many will awaken to the deception or "delusion". Climatic times ahead, our greatest asset will be our faith not in the WT but Jehovah.

very true, but not an easy change for many Jws who for numerous years have put their faith in the words and commands of the F&D slave,
for sure there are going to be some confused and angry people, and it could even be a major test of their faith in the existence of a loving God
Those damaged severely by the 1914 lie may well conclude the God of Christendom they knew was a false triune but what happened to the God i trusted in and his earthly organisation by allowing me to be deceived with such a lie.
it will be difficult for some i think to see exactly what has gone on
recallibration of understanding will be required and very quickly, they need to be directed to this place to help that happen

Most in the congregation have not learned to think for themselves. They have the same instruction from the bible that I had. Some of them have been trained longer than I have. In those instruction are to "make sure of all things" and to test the statements "to see if they originate with God" many never bother to follow those two important exhortations. As harsh as this may sound if they follow the GB to their destruction, their demise will be self inflicted. I've been pointing out falsehoods for quite a while now and no one I have spoken to wants a bar of it.
But you're right we can only try to introduce them to e-Jehovah's witnesses.

You state true words my friend...simply look at the forum and see what some of those who feel completely bamboozled by the society are doing. They simply don't know where to place their anger and confusion, and unfortunately because Satan is unseen it falls on those closest...US. Hopefully, with all love and mildness and patience we can show them that Jehovah has not abandoned them, as the Israelites may have felt when they were being cordoned to the Red Sea, stranded without hope. I realize that sounds a bit dramatic, but from what I've seen by the attitude of some feeling as though God no longer exists, it really isn't stretching it, is it? anyways...I've had few to drink tonight so if I get a little overboard please forgive me :).

I appreciate your comments and your insight...
