The Watchtower *trinity*
by ChristianObserver inas a relative newcomer, i don't know whether anyone has ever made this observation before - so apologies if they have.. one of the main areas of disagreement between jehovah's witnesses and orthodox christians is the 'trinity'.. to an outsider (i.e.
christian - not a jehovah's witness), the organisation has their own *trinity* which has replaced the orthodox 'trinity' of father, son and holy spirit.. the command at .
matthew 28 v 19 - 20: 'go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the holy ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever i have commanded you: and, lo, i am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world.

Paedophilia - BBC Documentary - Horrific
by ChristianObserver ini have just watched about half of part 2 of the bbc documentary on the pursuit of paedophiles in the uk.
i couldn't watch all of it because it churned my stomach completely.
i was completely shocked by what i saw and i was horrified by the lack of remorse shown by a paedophile who had been abusing children for 25 years who kept trying to change the subject to a discussion of female circumcision.. the sentences were minimal with 6 years for this particular abuser.

dr wilson responded (in part) as follows:.
"the quotation is clearly unhelpful and wrong - the combination of the media and then a special interest group puts the truth at risk.

Invisible return of Christ - ???
by ChristianObserver ini have heard this mentioned before, but wondered if anyone could enlighten me about this - please?.
what exactly do jehovah's witnesses believe about the return of christ - do they believe that it was an invisible return and if so, when - and has this belief changed at all?.
any links to relevant publications and quotes would be much appreciated - or links to where this has been discussed previously :o).

Two witnesses v false witness
by ChristianObserver in"no single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any sin, in the case of any sin that he may commit.
at the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good.
the wtbts pleads in defence of its policy for paedophile cases that 2 witnesses are required in accordance with deuteronomy 19 v 15. what they fail to grasp is the significance of verse 16 onwards.
