Just wondering how many here belong to a "House Church"? By "House" or "Home Church" I'm talking about a group of Christians who regularly gather for Bible study in private homes. Granted there are groups who are part of a larger Christian body, or parish, who may get together at private homes...

In my Bible discussions with Jehovah's Witnesses, there is one topic that always seems to come up. They just can’t wait to share with me that Jehovah has an Organization. Just what do they mean by "Organization"? The Watchtower Society says: "Jehovah's organization is theocratic. This means...

"But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established" - Proverbs 4:18 (NWT) Let me ask you, when does light get brighter? Is there such a thing as old light? Well, the Watchtower thinks so, and not without reason...

What blasphemy is this? The "Sparkle Creed"??? “I believe in the nonbinary God, whose pronouns are plural,” Helgen said. “I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic, and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling child of God. I believe in the rainbow spirit who shatters...

No matter what noble advances the world has made toward freedom, we still see dreadful instances of injustice. As long as there is sin and death, no true liberty exists for everyone. When will justice be a reality for ALL? There have always been clashes between the majority and the minority...

Our Lord's prayers, like all his acts and teachings, are models of unselfishness. Therefore, before we ask anything of the Father, one question should be carefully considered. – Why do I want this? If the petitioner is consecrated and desires the healing of any that are sick, it should not be...

ALONE It is human to stand with the crowd; it is divine to stand alone. It is man-like to follow people, to drift with the tide. It is God-like to follow a principle, to stem the tide. It is natural to compromise conscience and follow social and religious fashions for the sake of gain or...

The reason everyone is born in sin and dies is because of Adam. Rom 5:12 says, “…just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned-.” (NWT). When Adam disobeyed, he lost his right to live and he lost his...

All of the wonderful Jehovah’s Witnesses that have come to your door express NO desire for a heavenly hope. Their desire is to be on Paradise Earth forever. And what could be wrong with good food, a nice house, domesticated wild animals and beautiful scenery? The problem is the difficulty in...

As JWs you believe that In the resurrection, those who died faithful to God are included in the ‘other sheep’ and will receive the “resurrection of the righteous” (“just” KJV) mentioned in Acts 24:15. (The Watchtower 2/15/95 p. 11 par. 12) Those of the ‘other sheep’ who are alive today, some of...

The concept of anointing relates to the ancient practice of anointing those who would be Priests or Kings (eg., Leviticus 8:12; 2 Samuel 2:4). But for the combined office of “kings and priests,” the Church and Bride of Christ is invited to share (Revelation 1:6; 5:10). Jesus as the Head was...

“Then He spoke to them a parable: ‘Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. Assuredly, I say to you, this generation...

“Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things...

From the Scriptural narrative of the creation of man, it is evident that God, the Creator, designed to have an intelligent creature made in His own likeness, with an individual will capable of deciding for good or evil. Man has the power of willing to do as he, himself desires. Had he been...
