Who the heck was Arius?
by Will Power inre: previous discussions about the should you believe in the trinity brochure.. i found it surprising that the "truth[tm]" about the history of this little doctrine just plum forgot to include any reference whatsoever to arius, one of the main characters in the story.. there is much to read on this guy & his movement.. arianism - a heresy of the early christian church relating to definitions of the human or divine status of the person of jesus christ, was the first important doctrinal difficulty in the church after the legalization of christianity took place under emperor constantine i. .
arius was a priest of the catholic church in alexandria, egypt.
in a.d. 321 he was condemned by a synod at alexandria for teaching a heterodox view of the relationship of jesus christ to god the father.

our father in the heavens, let your name be sancitied.
with so many people and religions in the world how many would have known the name of god if it were used in that popular prayer.

JUSTICE #16 - Part 1 - Molesters Under Every Rock!
by Amazing injustice #16, molesters under every rock part 1 of 2 .
i chose this title not just because of the shear numbers of molesters that potentially exist within the organizations and congregations of jehovahs witnesses, but the insidious impact they continue to have, when you least expect or realize what is happening.
this is about a situation that directly affected my own family.

JUSTICE #14 - Caring for the Needy - Not!
by Amazing incaring for the needy not!
when i first became a jw in the late 1960s and all the years thereafter, the watch tower society would frequently boast about the loving care and concern that jws show among themselves, providing for the needy during disasters, even helping the world.
the society would publish in the magazines, or comments at conventions about how the world observed our efficiency and overwhelming spirit of giving.. what about the rest of the year?
