Forgiveness Of Sin With A Jehovah’s Witness Elder

If Jesus paid it all, what else is there for me to do?

(Continued from my last post)

Once we got into the “Teach” book, we only got through two paragraphs in chapter two before we spent the rest of our time discussing a completely unrelated topic. The first two paragraphs discuss receiving a gift from a friend and being grateful for it. The Bible is likened to a gift from God. The second paragraph speaks about some reasons why the Bible is an exciting gift, but it doesn’t mention a reason I believe is extremely important. Whenever you see a glaring omission like this, take advantage of it. Read More →

Once Again, The Name of God With A Jehovah’s Witness Elder

September 11, 2013 8:57 pm / 3 Comments /

A fragment of the Septuagint in which the Tetragrammaton appears.

I know I am about to have an intense discussion when my Jehovah’s Witness elder buddy begins our conversation by pointing to my iPad, grinning through his teeth and asking, “Is that thing fully charged?”

KW: (Laughing) Uh, Yeah.

JW: Good because I want to talk about the name of God one more time.

KW: AGAIN?

My witness friend brought his study edition of the New World Translation this time. There were some things he wanted to show me last week, but he didn’t have his study edition Bible which discusses a bunch of different topics in the many appendices. Appendix 1D is titled, “The Divine Name in the Christian Greek Scriptures.” This title is deceptive because the Watchtower refers to the New Testament as “The Christian Greek Scriptures,” yet the appendix speaks about the Septuagint.

#43 Is New Light, True Light? Quick Questions For Jehovah’s Witnesses

August 30, 2013 10:17 am / Leave a Comment /

This question is directed at Jehovah’s Witnesses who may be unfamiliar with the Watchtower’s history of changing the identity of the Faithful and Discreet Slave mentioned in Matthew 24. This doctrine is being changed yet again, reflected in the articles discussed in the July 15, 2013 Study Edition of the Watchtower magazine.

To know more about these changes, read these excellent articles.

Quick Questions For Jehovah’s Witnesses is a series of quick questions for JWs (hence the name) and other interest parties to ponder. The answers to the questions just might be a little more revealing than most JWs would want to admit.

2013 Evidence Ministries Football Pool!

August 29, 2013 1:10 pm / Leave a Comment /

Are you ready for some football? I created a football pool seven years ago and invited family and friends to join. Since then I have opened it up to friends of the ministry. Competition will be stiffer this year and I hope to see someone topple our current two-time, defending champion, Chi Town. The winner of the season gets a $20 gift card to the restaurant of their choice. Sorry folks, but that means the winner has to be someone here in the US of A.

In order to join, you must register as a user athttp://www.poolhost.com/ When registering, you will choose a personal username and password. Once you’ve entered PoolHost.com as a registered user, go to the ‘User Tools’ menu and choose ‘Join a Private Pool’. Click on the “Pro Football Pick’em” icon in the upper left corner and then you will be asked to enter the Pool’s Login Name and the Pool’s Password.

For the Pool’s Login Name type: EMfootballpool

For the Pool’s Password type: football

That’s it and then you’re in! The next time you login to http://www.poolhost.com/, you can go to ‘My Pools’ and you’ll see all pools that you belong to. Clicking on a pool name will take you to that pool. You can switch to a different pool by going to ‘My Pools’ again at any time. To Register, click here.

The only thing I ask is that if you are going to sign up for the football pool, please consider also signing up for our Evidence Ministries Newsletter and our email update list. You can do that here. There is no cost for the pool or the newsletters. Join in and lets have some fun!

And yes, this is open for Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons too. 😉

Rehashing the Name of God with a Jehovah’s Witness Elder

August 29, 2013 10:30 am / 6 Comments /

This week was very different than the last two weeks. My Jehovah’s Witness elder friend was in a very good mood and we joked around for more than a half hour before we got into our study. Another man came with him this time. JW2 has come before and we enjoy each other’s company. Our study began with JW1 asking a question out of the blue. Read More →
