AboutBrenton Hepburn Expertise I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I can answer questions on the reliability of the NWT, the so called mind control problems, so called prophecies, and general practices and history of Jehovah’s Witnesses.....
>>>>WARNING<<<<<< ....Please be aware that there are at least ... 3 .... people here who ARE NOT practicing JWs and, (at other times there have been as many as 5.) These ones will, at times, appear to have an agenda against JWs., and will often give answers that are not correct in regard to JW teachings and practices. If you are after a answer from one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, please read some of the answers that the various experts have published before choosing someone. If you want to ask them a question that is fine, but if you want a balancing view after asking one of the NON JWs, ask a JW the same question
Experience I have been a publisher since 1964. When I first went on the internet I found a lot of negative information dealing with Jehovah’s Witnesses covering prophecy, mind control and what many said was a very bad translation of the Bible known as the NWT. It shook my faith. After may hours researching these topics I could see why some felt that way, but, I was also able to explain why there were these misleading views. I can now set matters straight for anyone that has negative information about Jehovah’s Witness to show them that such information is at best misleading and at worst dangerous lies.
Education/Credentials I have been a student of the Bible for many years, am trying to teach myself Biblical Greek.
Was a public tax accountant for many yrars untill SEP 2009 when I gave it up.
I really want to believe that Jehovah's Witness's have the truth as my mother was one, but has since passed away.
Can you please explain why you have made so many false predictions. The bible does warn about false prophets and not to follow people who say that the end is near.
This is the only thing that is stumbling me.
Thanks
Answer Hello Vanessa,
Thank you for your question.
There is a lot of matterial on the web about the so called "many false predictions". A few year ago I did some research on this because it afected me, and I posted some of the results on my web site
My reaserch told me that the WTBTS (JWs).... NEVER .... uttered any prophecies at all, but interpritations of events that were fortoled by others. I hope the information at that site will answer your questions.
