Can the holy spirit be a person???
by leaving-jws inmy mom and i got into a debate about the trinity doctrine.
she claims that the holy spirit cannot be a person which invalidates the trinity doctrine.
she says in genesis that the holy spirit was depicted as "roving about the earth" as an "active force".

"gods channel" and "anointment"
by Morgana ini just can't resist adding my two cents to this topic:.
there seems to be a general misunderstanding and confusion of what constitutes "gods channel" and "anointment" according to the biblical texts.. the kings - e.g., saul and david - were anointed but they were not yahweh's "channels"; they were strictly earthly, political rulers (though they had some ritual obligations, of course).
spiritual channels properly speaking were the prophets, and at times there were dozens or even many more of them around simultaneously, in the northern as well as the southern kingdom, and mostly acting individually and independently from each other (apart from some "schools" or "colleges" of prophets that were also mentioned occasionally).

Why didn't Jesus write his own parts of the bible?
by Aphrodite inwhy leave the writing to inaccurate third parties who each saw things from their own perspective.
if his message was so important for posterity, why did he not write an accurate account of his message?

Black Magic and Jehovah
by sinis inok, i bought a book on black magic, and it is very intense to say the least.
what i have found interesting, and perhaps some could shed some light, is on the subject of evocation and the use of jehovah and his angels.
now why does this form of black magic evoke known angels, not demons, and why does it use jehovah to bind them?

Resolved to do Right? (Big puke alert)
by WTWizard inthe june 15 washtowel has an article about resolving to do what is right.
the preceding article had a subheading about fleeing from fornication, which merits a puke alert (yup, stifle that sex drive and stay away from anything that might make you sexually attracted to someone else).. this is the second study article, which has things to pursue.
paragraph 4 is a prime example.

Most current teachings and beliefs
by bite me inhi.
does anyone know if there is a single place that list all the current beliefs and teachings of the jw's.
i like to have something i can compare history with to have something to fall back on to show people changes in the belief that they are being taught.
