For Jehovah’s Witnesses Seeking Biblical Truth

If you’re a Jehovah’s Witness—or someone who has been one—and you’re here, you’re probably not looking for arguments.
You’re looking for truth, clarity, and answers that come directly from the Bible.

You are not here by accident.

Behind the Tower exists for those who love God, respect Scripture, and have begun to quietly wonder whether the Watchtower truly represents what the Bible teaches.

This site is not about attacking people.
It is about examining teachings.

Why This Website Exists

Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught that:

  • Only the Watchtower has “the truth”

  • Questioning the organization equals questioning God

  • All other Christians are false or deceived

But the Bible tells us to:

“Test everything; hold fast to what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

This website exists to:

  • Compare Watchtower teachings with Scripture

  • Examine claims using the Bible alone

  • Encourage personal Bible reading without organizational filters

  • Point people back to Jesus Christ—not an institution

What You Will Find Here

On this site, you will find:

  • Careful, Scripture-based articles addressing core Watchtower teachings

  • Side-by-side Bible comparisons (no emotional manipulation)

  • Respectful explanations written for Jehovah’s Witnesses—not outsiders

  • A focus on who Jesus truly is and what the Bible actually teaches

You will not find:

  • Mockery or insults

  • Political agendas

  • Calls to join another organization or denomination

  • Pressure to leave overnight

A Gentle Reminder Before You Continue

If you’ve been taught that reading material outside the Watchtower is dangerous, consider this:

The Bible was written before the Watchtower.
Jesus and the apostles encouraged examining Scripture, not avoiding it.
Truth does not fear investigation.

“The truth will set you free.” — John 8:32

Where to begin

If you’re new here, I recommend starting with these articles:

Did Jesus Start an Organization?
→ Examines whether Christ established a governing body like the Watchtower

Should We Worship Jesus?
→ Explores what the Bible actually says about Jesus’ identity

Who Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave—Really?
→ A close look at Matthew 24 without Watchtower assumptions

Did the Early Christians Believe in the Trinity?
→ Scripture-based examination without church tradition pressure

A Word to Those Who Are Afraid

If you feel fear, guilt, or anxiety just for reading this—you are not alone.

High-control religions train members to associate fear with questioning.
But God does not use fear to control His people.

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

You are allowed to think.
You are allowed to ask.
You are allowed to open the Bible.

About the Heart Behind This Site

Behind the Tower is written by someone who understands:

  • The fear of questioning

  • The pressure to conform

  • The longing to truly know God

This site exists out of love for truth, love for Scripture, and love for those still inside the Watchtower system.
