In 2018, Mormon prophet Russell M. Nelson made a controversial change forbidding nicknames for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. This video discusses the history of the change, then challenges Mormons by asking a question about the possible future of this dictate.
QQFM is a series of quick questions for Mormons (hence the name) and other interested parties to ponder. The answers to the questions just might be a little more revealing than most Mormons would want to admit.

#45 QQFM Mormon Church?- Quick Questions For Mormons
Initial Questions
JW and I met at a local fast-food restaurant for lunch. We spent a good 45 minutes to an hour talking about his background and how he became a Jehovah’s Witness. He is a quirky, but likeable guy. Sometimes he can be annoying though. He would laugh at the end of almost every sentence. I don’t know if he is nervous or if that is a coping mechanism or what. I was thankful that he did not ask me about my occupation. When Jehovah’s Witnesses ask me, I tell them I am a missionary and leave it at that. They usually don’t pursue that very far. If they ask more, I’m not going to lie, but I also don’t say that I am a missionary to Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons.
An Outsider’s Analysis Of The Jehovah’s Witness Memorial 4/15/2022
On April 15th, 2022 I attended the Jehovah’s Witness Memorial. I have visited these gatherings for 20+ years. Instead of writing a report like I have done for my previous “Conversations” series, I thought it best, and less time consuming, to record a YouTube video giving more detail than I could in a written report.

She started bleeding heavily. I’ve made that mistake before, so I knew what to do. Unfortunately, she kept bleeding. Since the homemade recipe wasn’t working, I had to go to the pet store and buy some quick stop. That worked in conjunction with heavy bandages wrapped around her foot.

I recently received an email through our website from someone asking about becoming a Jehovah’s Witness (JW). I will print the message here exactly as it was written. “how can i become amember of johva witness what rules and regulations are johva follow please help me iam religion less.” Obviously, the person (Esmael Dagnew) who sent the message hasn’t read anything on our web site. I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy who sent this email is the same “Nigerian Prince” who has offered to grant me $25,000000 if I will only help him disperse the money in a legal and orderly fashion.
Still, the question intrigued me enough to ask former JWs what they would tell someone who wanted to join the religion. What would former JWs say would be expected of someone who wanted to join? Read More →
