- Writing a book about Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower Society would be redundant as I haven't really posted anything new and/or unusual. And besides, most everything about the cult's beliefs and practices is available for free on the internet. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

- Although I don't recommend Rome's interpretations of the New Testament; I highly recommend its current English translation; the New American Bible. You do understand what I mean by an interpretation as opposed to a translation? Translations move the words and expressions of one language into...

- Webster's defines apostasy as renunciation of a religious faith and/or abandonment of a previous loyalty; viz: defection; which is defined as conscious abandonment of allegiance or duty (as to a person, cause, or doctrine). Apostasy is not always a bad thing. For example: †. 1Thes 1:4-10 . ...

- CLAIM: The very fact that Mary conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, makes her the spouse of the Holy Spirit. RESPONSE: Yes, Christ's mom conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35) but she didn't conceive with the Holy Spirit. That's a distinctive difference. The one is a...

- Not sure whether the beliefs and practices of Muslims are in total harmony with Islam's holy book, but the Koran testifies itself is free of error. The Cow [2.2] . . .This Book, there is no doubt in it That kind of testimony is circular; viz: Muslims believe the Koran is free of doubt...

- CLAIMED: Mary is the Mother of God, therefore she is the mother of all Christians because she is the spouse of the Holy Ghost. RESPONSE: Women become mothers by bearing children. That alone disqualifies Mary because none of Christ's believing followers are born of women; no, they are all...

- Here's a common translation of Luke 23:43 "I tell you the truth; today you will be with me in paradise. Here's the Watchtower Society's translation "Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise." The reason that the Society's translation differs from just about every other...

- There are parts of The Holy Bible that are very easy to understand if people would only let the Bible speak for itself while they listen to what it has to say instead of tuning it out and putting a spin on its words. Here's a good example of what I'm talking about. †. John 19:26-27 ...

- Christianity is not only a supernatural religion; it's a lethal religion. It quite literally, in some mysterious way that I don't quite understand; put Christ's believing followers to death. Their entire existence, as natural-born human beings, went up on the cross with him. †. Rom 6:3 . ...

- †. 1Thss 4:16-17 . .The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first. "the Lord himself" is construed to be Michael the archangel due to the fact that the only other...

- I suggest that the best way to begin sleuthing the chronology of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection is to first define what constituters a Day and what constitutes a Night. The creator does this for us so it's a no-brainer. †. Gen 1:3-5 . . And God said: Let there be light-- and there was...

- CHALLENGE: According to Jude 1:7, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by everlasting fire; but in case you haven't noticed; there's no fire over there today because it went out. RESPONSE: The reference in Jude 1:7 pertains to Gen 19:24, which states: "Jehovah made it rain sulphur and fire from...

- †. Heb 10:26 . . For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins The letter to Hebrews was written to a specific people with whom God covenanted in the Old Testament as per Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy...

- †. John 1:14 . . So the Word became flesh and resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth. The ancient Greek word from which "of undeserved kindness" is derived is charitos...

- OBJECTION: Regarding eternal assurance, and your apparent view that Catholics do not think they are saved, please consider the official position of the Church: "By grace alone, through faith in Christ's saving work, and by no merit of our own are we called by God and receive the Holy Spirit...

- Rome has constructed for itself a papal tree showing its own succession all the way back to Peter. But man-made successions aren't reliable, and should never be trusted by serious students of the Holy Bible; because even while the apostles were still alive, even in their own day, there were...

- Roughly translated into English, Arbeit Macht Frei means: Work Makes Free That slogan was placed above the entrance to several Nazi camps like Auschwitz and Dachau; but of course the only freedom that work obtained for inmates was death; either by disease, starvation, or execution. At the...

- CLAIM: There would be no Bible but for the Roman Catholic Church. RESPONSE: That's a good example of the political axiom that if a lie is repeated often enough; anon it will be accepted as fact. It is totally false to say there would be no Bible but for the Catholic Church. The Old Testament...

- So-called Replacement Theology is just another name for identity theft. Take for example the Watchtower Society's interpretation of Rev 14:1-3 wherein is listed a specific number of Hebrews taken from every tribe of the sons of Israel. The Society alleges that those aren't biological sons of...

- Death is one of the aspects of human experience about which the Watchtower Society's door-to-door haulers of water and hewers of wood are thoroughly in the dark and that's because they are mentally locked into the Society's premise that human death entails but one thing, and one thing only...
