A consideration of a question from an All Experts reader as to why Jehovah's Witnesses have such a negative opinion of me. Response focuses on the Watchtower's 1914 invisible parousia fraud and apostasy and Heaven's prescribed remedy for the blindness that presently grips Jehovah's Witnesses. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78q6FY1sZTI

Happy are your men, and happy are your servants who stand before you constantly, listening to your wisdom! —1 Ki. 10:8. News of the peace and prosperity enjoyed by the Israelites under Solomon’s rule reached the queen of Sheba. That sovereign from a distant land traveled to Jerusalem to see the situation for herself. (1 Ki. 10:1) After inspecting Solomon’s kingdom, she said the words above. But the conditions under Solomon’s rule were just a taste of what Jehovah will do for mankind under the rule of His Son, Jesus. Jesus is superior to Solomon in every way. Solomon was an imperfect man who made serious errors in judgment that eventually brought hardship on God’s people. Jesus, on the other hand, is a perfect Ruler who makes no mistakes. (Luke 1:32; Heb. 4:14, 15) Christ has proved that he will never sin or do anything that would harm his loyal subjects. It truly is an honor to have him as our King. w22.12 11 ¶9-10 ________________________ Solomon was blessed by Jehovah with wisdom and riches beyond anything any human had ever possessed. He was God’s faithful and wise servant—at least for a time. There were no kings of his equal. And yes, the Queen of Sheba traveled from a distant land to see for herself Solomon’s splendid kingdom and she queried him with many questions that were in her heart and he answered them all. But Solomon’s wisdom and his kingdom did not last. God had warned Solomon not to multiply wives for himself and the law of God specifically forbade the Israelites from intermarriage with the demon-worshipping people of the neighboring lands. But Solomon didn’t listen. He married 700 princesses from among the Egyptians, Hittites, Amorites, Moabites and Edomites. Gradually they inclined Solomon’s heart away from following Jehovah. Even though Solomon had built Jehovah’s magnificent temple on Mount Zion, he then began to construct temples dedicated to the disgusting demon gods his many wives worshipped, including Ashtoreth—the sex goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom—the disgusting god of the Ammonites. In time the Israelites worshipped these gods and others and even sacrificed their children to them. Solomon became what we call an apostate. For all of his wisdom, he acted foolishly and brought disaster upon Israel. Solomon wrote most of the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. Amazingly, even though the king became an apostate in his later life, God permitted Solomon’s writings to remain as part of the Bible’s collection of 66 sacred books. It would seem that Solomon’s story is a cautionary tale for all of God’s servants. Paul summed it up best: “So let the one who thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall.” The same God who blessed Solomon with knowledge, wisdom and vast riches, lives today and forever. The same demons that were worshipped in various forms in ancient times still exist too. And everyone is influenced by both God and the demons.
