Food for Thinking Jehovah's Witnesses
“‘But you are seeking great things for yourself. Stop seeking such things. For I am about to bring a calamity on all flesh,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and wherever you may go, I will grant you your life as a spoil.’”

The race for life…
2hurdles
In several places the apostle Paul used the analogy of a foot race to illustrate the course of life for Christians. “I have run the race to the finish,” the apostle wrote to Timothy toward the close of his earthly life. “And let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,” he exhorted his fellow Hebrews.
Taking that analogy of the Christians course one step further – no pun intended – particularly at this moment in time, we might more aptly liken our contest to not merely a foot race, but hurdles. That’s because the “track” is strewn with numerous stumbling blocks, which must eventually be surmounted – hurdled, as it were.

Jesus himself indicated that causes for stumbling will exist within his congregation – his Kingdom – up until the conclusion of the system of things, when he gives the order and his angels then remove all things causing stumbling. Obviously, or perhaps not so obvious, there exists numerous stumbling blocks in the path of Jehovah’s Witnesses. And many have been stumbled. “And many will be stumbled” during the actual conclusion, at least according to Jesus. That will be inevitable when the authentic, powerful Parousia begins and the Watchtower’s 1914 doctrine, which prophecy likens it to a whitewashed wall, is shattered and nothing is left but bits, shards and fragments.

The intent of this website is not only to announce Jehovah’s judgments, as contained in prophecy, but to prepare at least a relative few of Jehovah’s Witnesses for the day of stumbling; to cushion the blow – if that is at all possible – to make the unexpected expected, in the hope that all will be able to clear the last hurdles in our race for life.

Let us examine our beliefs:

the existence of God

If a Christian, and especially a Jehovah's Witness, is asked to provide proof of the existence of God, it is very likely that he will quote verse four of the third chapter of the letter to the Hebrews, "every house is constructed by someone, but the one who constructed all things is God".

The reasoning may be right, nothing came from nothing but everything on earth is due to the will of a designer, it is still good to note that Paul was not trying to argue about the existence of a Creator. He spoke to his Hebrew Christian companions who certainly did not question the fact that the universe was ruled by a powerful being who is behind everything. Moreover, in antiquity the problem was certainly not the non-belief in God but rather the opposite: people tended to believe in a multitude of gods. Furthermore, Paul, on one occasion, noticed that an altar dedicated to an unknown god had been made, certainly for fear of forgetting to revere a deity.

Parables for Our Days (Part 1)
Carl-Bloch-Sermon-on-the-Mount
What do the parables of Jesus have to say to us? Are they related to our days? First, we must identify and understand which of them have a prophetic application. For example, the parable of the prodigal son contains an excellent teaching for us, but is not prophetic, it announces no event! How then to distinguish the types of parabolas? As usual, it is very simple: we will stick to what Jesus Christ Himself said, without adding or taking away. We will limit the interpretations to the only elements that can be derived directly from narratives or other particular and relevant texts. For the rest, we will gladly content ourselves with the Lord's reply: "It does not belong to you to know the times or seasons that the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction" – Acts 1:7
