The developer presents himself as someone “knowledgeable” about, or even a member of, Jehovah’s Witnesses. Nothing could be further from the truth (no pun intended). One can tell by the artwork that any info he references is outdated, as well as wording in the screenshots (“Shunning” and “Disfellowshipping”). Subtle apostasy, designed to sway the minds of those looking for info. ### 5/5 — Mine *2025-12-13, version 1.5* I love using this app ### 1/5 — Negative *2023-07-24, version 1.5* This app is not for building up. It is only for negativity and not for the joy of learning progressive Bible truths. ### 1/5 — Not from the faithful and discreet slave *2022-07-12* I think we should be very careful if we desire to use this app. The intent of this app is for us to look at our history and see the differences between what we believe today and how it is different from our Brother Charles Taze Russel. Some people treat him like he was the greasy man. And that what he taught is not the way we believe today. He wasn’t a god, he was just a man who searched for accurate knowledge of the Bible. He didn’t have all the understanding and knowledge of the scriptures. He just tried real hard to follow a pure way of worshiping Jehovah. It would be very sad if we believe that the past history of Jehovah’s people set a precedent for today. It would be contrary to what the scriptures say. It told us that the light would get brighter in the time of the end. That means Jehovah chooses the time to give us a better understanding of the scriptures. That he just reveal everything we we need to know at one time. He chooses to give us better understanding of the scriptures when it will affect and have bearing on what he wants his servants to know. PLEASE AVOID APPS LIKE THIS WHEN IT IS THE PURPOSE OF RUINING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JEHOVAH AND TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE. ### 5/5 — Ct Russell *2022-03-28* Love his teaching about the truth ### 5/5 — Brilliant app about the Masonic JWs *2020-04-17, version 1.5* Love this app, always interesting reading about cults and the JWs are at the top of the tree. Freemasonry at its finest. Those poor people who follow this cult don’t even realise because they’re too scared to research themselves. If they had the truth, they could easily defend it. The real truth is they’re following a Masonic cult, masquerading as a publishing company and more recently, a real-estate company, buying and selling off buildings etc. ### 5/5 — NOT FOR JW!! *2019-06-09, version 1.5* Many Witnesses are giving this app a low rating because they are either: disappointed that it is not a Jehovah’s Witnesses app, or they are embarrassed that this app shows all the truths and flaws within the Watchtower and with Rutherford. This is an app designed by and for Bible Students, and for those seeking to learn the truth of Jesus and the Watchtower and Bible Student Movement & Jehovah’s Witnesses. So please stop complaining and understand what this app is before proceeding to download it!! It’s a great app for those who are legit looking for truth about a wide variety of subjects and history. ### 1/5 — Observed *2019-03-22, version 1.3* The overview leaves me feeling that this is most likely an imposter, claiming to be for witnesses but in reality apostate, and not for genuine members of our congregations. I haven’t looked into it further to confirm, nor will I, but if you choose to please proceed with caution. ### 5/5 — Think the art gives it away *2019-03-08, version 1.3* Fo those shouting APOSTATE, you should have realised from the art, learn your religion. The guys got the knights Templar on one of his apps..secondly well done, anything by JW.org is instantly 5* but if anything is not directly inline with it, it has to be apostate. The crazy is, if Charles Taze Russell, Judge Rutherford even Nathan Knorr we’re alive today they would be apostates as their teachings are so far from today’s is unreal (i know the light gets brighter) The governing body of JW are neither inspired or infallible (WT Nov 17) - but you still choose to follow man over the scriptures! Isaiah 2:22, Jer 17:5, Phil 3:3 etc - I’m no apostate btw, however the new definition for 2019 may well make me one as it’s (anyone who does not believe/think how we do) you no longer even have to speak against them. By yet another Ex Jay Doubleyou ### 1/5 — Apostate *2018-12-07, version 1.3* This person is not one of Jehovah ‘s witnesses. Either they are a apostate or a born again Christian. Which neither will gain life when Jehovah passes judgment ## Frequently asked questions about Bible Students Watch Towers ### What does the Bible Students Watch Towers app do?
