Many of the Watchtower's deceptions were easy to spot in the early days, but with almost 150 years of practice, they have found ways to fine-tune their inconsistencies. Millions have been misled by the Watchtower and have become personal carriers of their ...

THE sublimest subject of contemplation for the mind of man is, unquestionably, the Being who made him. But the character of God is an immense field. He who attempts to traverse one side of it, leaves others unseen. Nay, it is infinite, — it is boundless. Man can never have exhausted it. That part of it, however, which comes within the range of his vision, has varied aspects. To no one of them can he turn and say, "This is all." They mistake, therefore, very greatly, who look at some single trait as though this were the whole of Deity. God is the Father of our race. It is not possible to ...

In his timely audiobook, The Power of Submission, John Tebay contends that our permissive culture’s resistance to authority has permeated the Church and that God’s clear principle of authority has become muddled, murky, or ignored.
