February 19, 2021 E-Letter Mormon missionaries have challenged millions of people over the years to read the Book of Mormon and in prayer ask God if it is true. The missionaries will say that a yes answer will be evidenced by a “burning in the bosom,” an emotional and spiritual feeling. This is a subjective … Read More
February 5, 2021 E-Letter “And unto the angel of the church of Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God” Revelation 3:14. Jehovah’s Witnesses use this text to ‘prove’ that Jesus had a beginning. This is a gross misreading of the text. Other verses the … Read More
We’re taking a break from posting David Henke’s excellent e-letters, to bring you a news item that is at once old, however, we suspect, very new to our readers. These sources were sent to me recently and I found them worthy of posting. Did you know that the Watchtower used to teach that Jehovah’s throne … Read More
January 22, 2021 E-Letter Spiritual abuse victims share the same symptoms as victims of incest. The common denominator between the two is that the parent and the spiritual leader are both the most intimate caregivers, and the boundaries they cross are the most intimate.

July 17, 2020 E-letter One of the questions Jehovah’s Witnesses frequently ask is “Do you know the Lord’s prayer?” When the answer is given the JW will quote the first sentence which will include the phrase “… hallowed be thy name … ” then the JW will ask, “What is God’s name?” This conversation-starting question … Read More
Jehovah’s Witnesses commonly practice the shunning of those who have left the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. There are varying degrees of shunning, and for varying reasons, but there is one constant: the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society Organization, aka the Jehovah’s Witnesses, propagate the practice of shunning among their members, and have for a … Read More
Point / Counterpoint POINT: I saw a Facebook post recently about some ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who staged a “flash mob” at a Kingdom Hall, a protest really. They decided that the perfect time and place was right after the first song and prayer. I disagree. Rudeness, which I believe was the case here by the protestors, … Read More
It’s that time of year again–the Holidays. For most children in the United States, the holidays are a time of excitement and anticipation.
