When the Russian military operation began in 2022, there were 127,378 JWs in Ukraine. No doubt, many Russians had fled to Ukraine after Putin liquidated the Watchtower in Russia. Undoubtedly, though, many JWs were included among 10 million Ukrainians who fled Ukraine to avoid war conditions as...

I have been at war with the Watchtower for a very long time. It really began when their secret 10-year political partnership with the UN came to light in 2001, and they lied about the nature of their affiliation with the United Nations. In 2004, I did a massive mailout to every Kingdom Hall in...

It has been four years since the pandemic was unleashed as a front to pump trillions into the financial system, which had blown out in September of 2019. Then, the already-developed vaccines were rolled out in 2021. More than enough time has passed in these three years, and it can be...

With wars and rumors of wars growing louder, it is time to revisit the familiar prophecy of peace and security. That phrase has special relevance for millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses because it is believed that the fulfillment of their saying “peace and security” will be the precursor of the...

There are now some eight billion human souls on this planet. Jehovah God knows each and every one. He also knows those who are spiritually inclined and groping for the truth. They are most precious to him. Jesus said the Kingdom of God belongs to them. Over the years, the Watchtower has related...

The Watchtower makes very strong assertions about future events, particularly the ordering of events. All of Jehovah's Witnesses are expected to receive these pronouncements as the word of God. Take the statement above for example: "Very soon, Jehovah will direct Jesus and his corulers “to break...

This is the last article in the series examining the May, 2024 Watchtower. I am still trying to mentally process the Watchtower’s most recent “new light.” As stated in the previous article in this series, it is doubtful that Jehovah’s Witnesses will perceive that the Governing Body has...

Back in the 1990s, many readers of the Watchtower and AWAKE! magazines noticed the change of tone toward the UN as well as the hundreds of Watching the World snippets that cited some UN departments or programs. (Talk about "the voice of strangers") Then, in 2001, it came to light that the...

In case some missed my little note yesterday, I am suspending the daily commentary, for now, to focus on writing articles on e-watchman https://e-watchman.com/priest-and-prophet-go-astray-because-of-alcohol/ This is part six of the review of the May, 2024 Watchtower On his last sojourn to...

The Pharisees once asked Jesus when the Kingdom of God was coming. His response to them is of the utmost relevance to us now. Jesus said to them, “The Kingdom of God is not coming with striking observableness; nor will people say, ‘See here!’ or, ‘There!’ For look! The Kingdom of God is in your...

Every time there is a disaster of any sort, conspiracy theories begin. I generally don't buy in, but from the looks of it, the cargoship that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore appears to have been taken over remotely and steered into one of the main support caissons. If the...

Adam was a son of God, perhaps the first such creature in the physical realm. Certainly, he was the first earthling. He was perfect—sinless. He had no personality flaws, no mental defects, or emotional issues to deal with. He was undoubtedly a handsome, chiseled physical reflection of God's...

As the apostles reclined at the table to observe what they imagined was the annual Passover, a celebration that they all no doubt observed from childhood, Jesus instituted what Jehovah's Witnesses know as the Memorial. “I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I...

The key word here is fear. "Jehovah watches over those fearing him." People who genuinely fear God dread to do anything that might displease him. Those with no fear have no moral inhibitions. Do not assume that those who call themselves faithful and discreet slaves necessarily fear Jehovah...

If an inquisitive, indoctrinated JW could speak to Paul he might inquire which "coming" the apostle is referring to. Paul, of course, would have no clue what the brother was talking about. But it is a perfectly reasonable question for Jehovah's Witnesses to consider since the Watchtower teaches...

The Trump for President campaign released an epic ad. Of course, the MAGA slogan means Make America Great Again. The leftists consider that to be the creed of radicals that they are intent on eradicating. A growing number of people regard the upcoming elections in November to be pivotal...

In Hebrew, the word satan means opposer and devil means slanderer. Satan is opposed to the truth. Jesus revealed that the Devil is the father of the lie and the ruler of the world. Not surprisingly, everything in the world is a lie. Take evolution for example. There is not one shred of...

The death and resurrection of Jesus changed everything. Except no changes have been brought about. Not really. The world still goes on as before. The demons are still running the same old wicked system. The Watchtower's artfully contrived 1914 myth aside, the first resurrection has not begun...
