Over the years we have frequently entertained members of the Watchtower in our home. And since we have lived in Lincolnshire, we have come to know a number of these Jehovah’s Witnesses quite well. They always come in pairs, and I suppose most of our readers will appreciate the difficulties associated with such visits. However, we have always treated them with courtesy and respect, and have asked them back for evening discussion, which often develops into quite lengthy dialogue. A short while ago I found out that they have sets of rules related to their visiting work, rules which apply to how they treat people. And one of these rules is that they must consider themselves as GIVERS and not RECEIVERS. In fact this one-way valve system is quite rigid. [Read more…]

57. The New Blindness
In our last Prophetic Telegraph I referred to the current wave of spiritual power that is sweeping the United States and Britain, and although I never mentioned the name, most people have now read about it in the papers, or seen excerpts on the television news.

Twenty years ago this month the Lord gave me one of the strangest visions I have ever received, and on reflection I still believe it to be one of the most important, revealing the subtlety of the enemy’s intrusion into the end-time works of God. The vision became the subject of our very first edition of The Prophetic Telegraph, which we published on 27th June 1986. In view of the way things have gone in the western world in the last twenty years, we now believe that it is timely to review this vision in the light of developments. The Lord said that in the last days He would send “strong delusion” to those “who received not the love of the truth.” This was the basis of the vision, which may now be set down once again for analysis.
