. Some of the Watchtower Society's ethics rub people the wrong way. For example they don't celebrate birthdays, observe Christmas, participate in Halloween, serve in the military, nor allow blood transfusions. Their feelings about special days are protected by the fourteenth chapter of Romans...

. ● Col 3:18 . .Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in The Lord. NOTE: Here's a new word for your vocabulary: Womxn. You know what that is? It's the latest desperate attempt by man-hating women to avoid identifying themselves with men in every way possible. I suppose they'll next...

. ● Col 3:15a . . Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. The world is not impressed when believers are at war with themselves. There is a very subtle hint to that effect at Gen 13:1-7. How do you suppose Abram's and Lot's squabbling...

. ● Matt 24:45-47 . .Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings. The...

. ● Col 3:13-14 . . Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as The Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. One of The Lord's constant rubs with his religious opponents was...

. So-called Replacement Theology is just another name for identity theft. Take for example the Watchtower Society's interpretation of Rev 7:1-8 wherein is listed a specific number of Hebrews taken from every tribe of the sons of Israel. The Society claims that those aren't biological sons of...

. ● 1John 2:26-27 . .These things I write you about those who are trying to mislead you. And as for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to be teaching you; but, as the anointing from him is teaching you about all things, and is true and is no...

. ● Col 3:9-10 . . Do not lie to each other since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Humanity's original self began its created existence in the image of God (Gen 1:26-27). In other...

. ● John 14:16-17 . . I will request the Father and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, the spirit of the truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither beholds it nor knows it. You know it, because it remains with you and is in you. ● John 14:26 . .The helper...

. ● Phil 4:5 . . Let your gentleness be evident to all. The koiné Greek word for "gentleness" is epieikes (ep-ee-i-kace') which essentially means: mild. Webster's defines "mild" as gentle in nature or behavior, moderate in action or effect; not sharp or bitter, i.e. just the opposite of...

. Many of the Jehovah's Witness missionaries going door-to-door throughout the world are honestly, and sincerely, wanting to enter the kingdom of God; which is why I'm convinced that Christians really ought to know something about New Testament hope before engaging JWs in a conversation about...

. ● Phil 2:4 . . Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. The "others" in that verse are exclusive. Paul's directive pertains only to the classification of people to whom he penned his letter; viz: "saints in Christ Jesus . . together with the...

. ● Gen 3:19 . . By the sweat of your brow shall you get bread to eat, until you return to the ground-- for from it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. Did God have to smite Adam in order for him to stop living? No; it was only necessary to deny Adam access to the...

. It's both tragic and ironic that the Watchtower Society's rank and file missionaries go worldwide advertising a kingdom that they themselves will never be allowed to enter. Here's why. At John 3:3-12, Christ discusses what he labels "earthly things". The primary earthly thing discussed was...

. ● Phil 2:2-3 . . Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. If there is at least one place on earth where believers should be on the same plane with each other it's church; but that's not always the case as human beings are...

. ● Eph 6:9a . . And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, The "masters" in that verse are Christian masters; Paul's letters were written and sent to churches rather than to the world at large...

. ● John 20:17 . . Be on your way to my brothers and say to them; "I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God." FAQ: If Jesus is God, as classical Christianity claims, then how can he have a God? Does God worship Himself? A: I have yet to encounter the language of...

. ● Eph 6:4 . . Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of The Lord. We're not talking about religious training here-- the focus is upon a daddy's parenting style. Despotism, tyranny, and unfairness are not The Lord's way of raising kids...

. ● John 20:28 . . Thomas said to him: "My Lord and my God!" God and/or gods, is from the Greek word theós (theh'-os). Many moons ago; I asked some Watchtower Society missionaries to explain to me why their Bible translated theós in upper case in Thomas' statement seeing as how in Watchtower...
