"Witnessing to Witnesses"
Not the righteous, but sinners
Awake! is a monthly magazine written and published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. This is the publishing arm of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They are known for going door to door and offering literature and proclaiming the hope of “everlasting life in a paradise Earth.” Recently, in the January [...]
This weekend I did an interview for my friend Neil’s Podcast, Kneel to Christ. The subject was my experiences with the Watchtower Society. Please take a listen!

I received an email from a reader and I would like to make some of my response available on the blog. For the sake of privacy, the email and the name of the person will be left out.
Reader Question 1: My guess is that a JW is allowed to cut off dialog and not [...]
Where, or to whom, should our faith be directed?
Anyone who has casually read the Bible or knows anything about Christianity knows the very clear answer to this question.
The first of the Ten Commandments reads thus:
“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the place [...]
Christians love to hear the message that their sins are forgiven by Christ. It’s our oxygen. We breathe it in. It is the fuel that powers Christian living.

In the April 15, 1999 Watchtower, the article entitled “The Only Way to Everlasting Life” asks, “What is the only way to everlasting life?” What’s their response? How would you respond?

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
(2 Timothy 3:14-15 ESV)
Paul here tells Timothy that [...]
“The gentile times have ended…,” was the cry of the Watchtower. However, how long are those Gentile Times according to the Bible? When did they start and end? I think I may have found the key….
“And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let [...]
Jehovah’s Witnesses are told (at least the vast majority of them) that Jesus is not their mediator. (1 Tim. 2:5) Their Bible Dictionary: Insight on the Scriptures (1988), under the heading: Those for Whom Christ is Mediator, says:
The Watchtower
“The apostle [...]
A friend of mine sent me a link to his friend’s blog. He has a very interesting post on John 1:1.
Here’s a quote:
The construction is specific and purposeful on John’s part. The pre-verbal anarthrous predicate nominative construction is speaking about the nature of the Word. In other words, John 1:1c is not trying [...]
