About Me
I was baptized as a Jehovah's Witness (JW) along with my wife in May of 1996. I progressed very quickly through the ranks of the JW organization becoming a Ministerial servant (Deacon) then an elder which in the JW organization is equivalent to a Pastor in many other churches. I received an official certificate of Ordination from the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society in May of 2004. This is something which most JW's never actually receive, including the elders. (At that time I think any JW could ask for the ordination confirmation paper)
Because of my zeal for the ministry and Bible study, I had the privilege of being used extensively. I was a Ministry School Overseer, Service Overseer & Book study Overseer simultaneously. I gave many talks (sermons) throughout Virginia, West Virginia and a couple in North Carolina. I also gave talks at large assemblies and spent many hours each month in the door to door ministry. I have served on several Judicial appeals committees. I resigned as an elder and immediately stopped going to the meetings in the Spring of 2006. As of November 2009 I am no longer associated with the JW's.
I truly love and respect many in the JW organization. For this reason, I DO NOT and WILL NOT slander my Christian JW brothers. While I believe that they are misled in several areas, I also believe they are serving God and Jesus with a sincere heart. (Acts 17:30)

Bible vs Watchtower – What Did Jesus Say About The Sabbath?
Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught to believe that the 10 Commandments are no longer valid. However, when you dig down in their teachings you will find that they believe you should obey 9 Commandments but disregard the one that begins with … Continue reading
Bible vs Watchtower – What Did Jesus Say About The 10 Commandments?
Since 1879 the Watchtower has taught and even insisted that when Jesus died He, “did away with” the 10 Commandments. The Watchtower has also taught and continues to teach that the 10 Commandments and the Mosaic law are one in … Continue reading
Watchtower Study – October 6, 2024 – Important Lessons From the Kings of Israel
The governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses continues to mislead Jehovah’s Witnesses by pointing them to the organization rather than encouraging them to follow Jesus. This is another Watchtower study where Jesus isn’t even mentioned.

In this video I examine every paragraph of this article to show how the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is truly manipulating Jehovah’s Witnesses to follow the Watchtower instead of Jesus and the written word of God.

Watchtower Study – August 25, 2024 – Remain Jehovah’s Guest Forever!
In this video we see how the organization separates the rank and file Jehovah’s Witness from the ones they identify as the “anointed”, while encouraging the rank and file to have a “personal” relationship with God.
Watchtower Study – August 18, 2024 – Jehovah’s Grand Invitation to Be His Guest
In this video we can see how the organization continues to manipulate Jehovah’s Witnesses by teaching things that simply cannot be found in Scripture.

In this video I talk about the fact that many Jehovah’s Witnesses must put on a public facade to maintain their membership in the organization.

What Does JW.org Have To Offer?
A viewer sent me a question with some bold statements about JW.org boasting about things the organization has to offer which nobody else can match. Is this true? In this video I answer his statements and question point by point.
Watchtower Study – July 21, 2024 – What Do We Know About Jehovah’s Future Judgments?
In this video we will see how the Watchtower actually believes and illustrates that JW’s will be teaching prophets of old about the Bible.
Why JW.ORG Needs Another “Clarified Understanding”
Unless there are some major changes in the Watchtower organization, there will always have to be adjustments or, as they define them, “clarifications in their understanding”. In this video I share why this is the case.
Please Forgive My Mistake. Here’s The Correction…
In the previous video I made a mistake. This video corrects my error. By the way, this is not “an adjusted understanding” LOL

Watchtower Study – June 16, 2024 – “Press On to Maturity”
In this video I reveal a number of major issues and some misleading doctrines of the Watchtower. I also show how the organization is designed to keep you from being “spiritually mature”.
Watchtower Study – June 9, 2024 – Find Comfort in Jehovah’s Approval
The Watchtower is extremely manipulative and this causes much depression and unstable thinking for many Jehovah’s Witnesses. I will openly expose these points and tactics in this video review of the Watchtower.
