  Has the WTBS ever explained the trinity?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

  from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

  love.

  it appears to me on this thread that all those defending the trinity are doing so by explaining it in just the way that jws believe.

  I don't feel what I've said about the Trinity can in any way be compared to how Watchtower explains it. If one begins researching the topic of the Trinity, from the literature of its supporters, it will become painfully obvious within five minutes that Watchtower has misrepresented the doctrine.

  Here is but one (of countless) Internet sites devoted to directly refuting the Watchtower 'Trinity' brochure.

  The Sheer Boring Monotony Of Being A Jehovah's Witness

  what a terrible way of wasting valuable time.

  going to meetings is the biggest scam.

  you get nothing more from going than you would if you read a publication in the comfort of your home.

  Just last night, at home with my kids, I thought to myself: Gosh, I'm so glad I'm not sitting at the Kingdumb Hell with another hour to go!

  I also plan to attend a 'Convention' of my own, this year. The World Beer Festival in North Carolina.

  Man Goes In Hospital For Circumcision, Docs Remove Penis Instead!

  a kentucky man went into the hospital for the procedure only to realize the doctors amputated his penis instead!

  the kentucky man was told afterward that cancer was noticed and because of that, the doctors decided to simply remove the appendage.

  they are being properly sued.

  hit maker prince turns his back on raunchy routines1 comment(s)september 29, 2008 09:33:58 gmt.

  he told usa today, becoming a jehovah's witness advocate and reading the bible have contributed to his decision to ditch his raunchy past.. tom walck/pr photoswilling to get better with his growing age, prince has a change of heart that he decided to turn his back on his raunchy past.

  the hit maker openly admitted he no longer wants to write songs with lusty lyrics and perform dirty dancing on-stage because he does not want to offend his fans, who as time goes by have grown up and had children.

  You gotta wonder if the Public Affairs office in Brooklyn rolls their eyes when they see another headline with "Prince" and "Jehovah's Witnesses" in it.

  JWs come for a visit! I can't believe it.

  by dawg in

  i just wanted to relate that this weekend, a group of jws came by and visited me-they had come to athens to watch the big game that my team didn't show up for.

  most of them knew that i had written letters to many family members and friends saying the jws were full of crocodile crap and yet all of them hung out with me.

  one was inquisitive in a good way, asking me if i was an 'apostate"... i told him that i was because i've formerly stated that i disagree with the jws about many of their doctrines.

  Wow, hanging out with an apostate. They are practicing some serious cognitive dissonance. You may have helped plant some seeds that will lead them right out. Beth Sarim is as good a topic as any. They can verify it on page 76 of the Proclaimers book.

  No doubt the victim would like a speedy trial. Unfortunately, the justic system will probably dick around for months.

  *** km 3/06 p. 1 par.

  (mark 4:26-29) let us now consider three more of jesus' illustrations-the mustard grain, the leaven, and the dragnet.

  when the wts says "god's people" do they mean anyone other than jws?.

  Timothy Giannuzzi: "For the American government to have instigated 9/11, it would have had to exhibit a staggering amount of competence, cohesion and co-ordination. Tens of millions of dollars, a great deal of explosives and, at the very least, many dozens of people would have to have been organized, bought off and/or used surreptitiously so as not to attract attention. These assumptions alone invalidate the conspiracy theorists' position. Anyone possessed of an ounce of rationality knows that the U.S. government is not remotely capable of acting like this."

  I have seen the film. As far as the technical expertise of the filmmaking, it is impressive. As far as presenting accurate and truthful information, it fails. The film is a mixture of truth, lies and distortions.
  
  It will probably encourage people to think for themselves, which is good, but I reject the film as an authoritative documentary that reveals truth. It's entertaining and thought-provoking.
