  • Jehovah's Witnesses & the Death of Character

    Jehovah's Witnesses & the Death of Character
    Dec 15 2025

    For an organization that claims they were chosen by Jesus Christ of the Bible to represent him on earth, one would expect to find people of utmost character. Is that what you see in Jehovah's Witnesses? From the serious, including shunning and deadly medical advice, to the mundane, including the way they interact on social media... any semblance of character has died inside Jehovah's Witnesses.

  • Reminding Jehovah's Witnesses to Use Their Time Wisely... Like Joseph?

    Reminding Jehovah's Witnesses to Use Their Time Wisely... Like Joseph?
    Dec 8 2025

    Governing Body member Kenneth Cook Jr. reminds Jehovah's Witnesses that Armageddon is imminent and they can practice good time management by acting like Joseph, son of Jacob. He didn't own a watch, but the Bible does tell us he was really good looking, making him the master of all things ... time?

    Growing Up a Jehovah's Witness in the 1980's
    Dec 1 2025

    We believed we were the generation that would never experience death. We also were moon walking, wearing leg warmers, dressing like the guys in Miami Vice or RATT. If you dodged Satan, the Smurfs, led a 'double life,' know all the words to Purple Rain and still knocked on doors Saturday mornings... join us!
