Any Jehovah’s Witness would be shocked that someone could even suggest such a thing, but this is a question that every witness needs to take seriously. Let’s look at how the Bible describes a false prophet, and ask the question nobody wants to ask, are the Jehovah’s Witnesses false prophets? The Jehovahs Witnesses are false…
Why is disfellowshipping wrong?
Recently I wrote an article addressing the question “Is disfellowshipping scriptural?“. That article ended up being over 5,000 words! So, I decided to try to boil the topic down into 4 core topics explaining why disfellowshipping is wrong. Why is disfellowshipping wrong? The process of disfellowshipping implies that a person’s salvation is based on a…
What is the difference between Christianity and Jehovah’s Witnesses?
When Jehovah’s Witnesses come knocking, they often claim to be Christians, however, they lack one of the fundamental requirements of what it means to be a Christian, to accept Jesus as your mediator. I consider this to be one of the most important differences between Jehovah’s Witnesses and true Christians. Unlike Christians, Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t…
Watchtower Quotes: Dress and Grooming
Long Hair on Men “For a man or a boy to wear his hair so that he looks like a girl is still “contrary to nature.” It is typical of an age (and lands) where homosexuality is on the increase… homosexuality is also “contrary to nature,” both unfitting and detestable…” The Watchtower, What the Way…
The 70 Years [Desolation of Jerusalem and Nations Serving the King of Babylon]
The Bible said there were two things that were going to happen. The City/Temple is going to lie in desolation for 70 years – Daniel 9:2 The nations (not just the Jews) are going to serve under the king of Babylon for 70 years – Jeremiah 25:11 Historical evidence proves that both of these prophesies…
Was Jerusalem Destroyed in 607BC, or 586BC? [and the 70 Years explained]
Jehovah’s Witnesses are adamant that Jerusalem was destroyed in 607BC [1], however, this contradicts both the Bible and archeological evidence. To accept 607BC as the date of Jerusalem’s destruction is to blatantly ignore thousands of credible scholars, historians, archeologists, and even the Bible. The first date a Jehovah’s Witness will use to establish the date…
Did Jerusalem Fall in 607BC or 587BC? [Evidence from JW Publications and the Bible]
In order for Jehovah’s Witnesses to be able to make sense of the 1914 date, the fall of Jerusalem needs to have happened in 607BC. The problem is that all evidence of Jerusalem destruction points to the date 587BC. The Bible also lines up with the date 587BC. But many still ask “Did Jerusalem fall…

Did World War I Confirm Any Truth About Jehovah’s Witnesses 1914 predictions?
In one of my previous posts, I explained that Jehovah’s Witnesses predicted that Armageddon would end in 1914, bringing the destruction of all human governments, along with Christendom and its followers, which we know did not come true. However, did the start of World War I in 1914 confirm any truth to some of the…
Did Jesus Invisible Presence Start in 1914?
Jehovahs Witnesses teach that Jesus’ presence started in 1914 invisibly. Other than some “numerical gymnastics”, the organization has no real evidence that this is true. As far as the Bible is concerned, there are scriptures that tell us not to be concerned with constantly seeking a sign of the end or Jesus’arrival. No one can…
