So Brighton is the only outdoor convention in the UK to have a platform in the stadium. At the other outdoor locations the speakers are being videoed in a room inside and then transmitted to screens in the stadium. The reasoning being given is that with so much video content in the programme then it’s not a big deal and that it means that the weather and other things are not an issue however this does raise some questions. Is this being repeated outside of the UK? Is this some kind of trial that may mean the entire programme will be pre-recorded either on a regional or even national basis? Is it perhaps leading to the streaming of the programme to conv…

BIBLE PROOFS OF THE TRINITY Key: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are so clearly and consistently linked in Scripture that, assuming that God is not three persons, makes it impossible to understand some passages. Though JWs exalt human reasoning against the Trinity doctrine, saying it is unreasonable,those who submit to God’s Word must conclude that it is unreasonable to doubt the Trinity. Consider these scriptures proving the Trinity: 1. Matthew 28:19 The ‘Name’ of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Watchtower teaching: JWs ask, ‘Does this verse prove the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equal in substance, power and eternity…

Why would a God that values life so much he forbids having an abortion, even if there is a valid reason, rather have you die than submit to a live-saving blood transfusion, even if there is a valid reason?

FARGO — About 4,000 Jehovah's Witnesses will be in Fargo this weekend for a massive three-day regional convention at Scheels Arena. The "Be Courageous!" 2018 convention here beginning Friday, June 29, through Sunday, July 1, is one of many around the country and globe, including Hungary, Japan and Australia.

Remember those who are taking the lead among you.—Heb. 13:7. To disseminate Bible truth in various languages, ZionÂ’s Watch Tower Tract Society was legally incorporated in 1884, with Charles Taze Russell as president. He was an outstanding student of the Bible, and he fearlessly exposed as false such doctrines as the Trinity and the immortality of the soul. He discerned that Christ would return invisibly and that “the appointed times of the nations” would end in 1914. (Luke 21:24) Brother Russell devoted his time, energy, and money unsparingly to share these truths with others. Clearly, at that pivotal time, Brother Russell was used by Jehovah and the head of the c…

(Moscow) – Law enforcement authorities across Russia have carried out a sweeping campaign against JehovahÂ’s Witnesses in recent months, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities have carried out dozens of home searches, raids, interrogations, and other acts of harassment and persecution. The authorities are holding 18 men in pretrial detention on charges of organizing, participating in, or financing the activities of an “extremist organization” solely for their religious activities. Several others are facing the same charges and are under house arrest or subject to travel restrictions. The charges carry a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Russian authoritie…

There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.—Acts 24:15. Jehovah wants people to live, not die. As the Source of life, he becomes the Father of everyone who is resurrected. (Ps. 36:9) How appropriate, therefore, that Jesus taught us to pray: “Our Father in the heavens.” (Matt. 6:9) Jehovah has given Jesus an important share in resurrecting the dead. (John 6:40, 44) In Paradise, Jesus will fulfill his role as “the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25) JehovahÂ’s generosity is not limited to a few privileged people, for Jesus said: “Whoever does the will of God, this one is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mark 3:35) It is …

I was just reading a very interesting Florida Appeals Case. In it the court ruled that a priest would not be allowed to testify in a case involving child abuse because it was made during a confession and that the FRFRA prohibits the state from forcing the priest too.

Psalm 110:1 ‘The Lord (YHWH3068) said to my Lord (Adonai136) sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.’ Watchtower teaching: JWs say that since Jehovah is speaking in this verse and since the ‘Lord’ is a distinct person from Jehovah, then Jesus must not be Jehovah God Almighty. In Matthew 22:41-45 Jesus claims that He Himself is the ‘Lord’ referred to by David in this Psalm. They therefore conclude that Jesus is not Jehovah, but the one Jehovah speaks to. Bible Teaching: This verse proves the deity of Christ. Question 1: Christ asks the Pharisees, ‘Whose Son is he (Christ)?’ regarding the deity of the Messiah. (Matthew …

I Corinthians 11:3 - Is God superior to Christ? ‘But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God’. Watchtower teaching: JWs say that, because Jehovah is the head of Christ, then Christ cannot be God. They say that since I Corinthians 11:3 was written in 55 AD when Jesus was ascended and glorified, then this superior rank of Jehovah over Jesus applies to their present relationship in heaven. They claim that ‘Jesus is always presented as a lesser, separate, humble servant of God’. Should you Believe in the Trinity? p.20. The Bible teaching: I Corinthians 11:3 has to do with p…

I Corinthians 8:6 - ‘One God the Father . . .’ ‘But to us there is but one God, the Father . . . and one Lord Jesus Christ . . .’ Watchtower teaching: JWs argue that, since there is ‘one God’ (Jehovah) who is distinct from ‘one Lord’ (Jesus Christ), then Jesus cannot be God. Biblical reasoning: If this WT reasoning is correct, then the same logic leads us to conclude that the Father is not Lord. Note: If the reference to the Father being the ‘one God’ proves that Jesus is not God, then by the same logic we must conclude that the reference to Jesus Christ as the ‘one Lord’ means that the Father is not Lord. No JW will concede that the Fathe…
