this is for those who are interested in bible study.. the jehovah's witnesses claim that only the father is god, and thus teach he was the saviour in the old testament.
the bible teaches that god says "there is no saviour beside me".
therefore how is it, that the lord jesus christ is called the saviour of the world?.
Cofty I will explain the trinity for you in my own words.
The trinity is like a person with multiple personality disorder. There is one physical presence, but 3 distinct personalities that can manifest at any time. Usually only 2, a duality if you will, but since this is based on older trinitarian concepts from Mesopotamia and Egypt we have to make it 3. So when God said let US make man in our image, man was meant to be 3 distinct personalities. Oh shit....that sounds crazy.
i know a few family's who have left the cult but send their kids to a religious school because of the public schools teaching many times that homosexuality is ok. the bible is clear that its a sin.
there is no just love each other and its all ok. i don't believe in the bible or any religion.
i have a niece who came out as gay and i told her i don't care.
Wrong? Do you mean it is wrong for me since I don't have those feelings? Ok, it's wrong for me. But if you have those feelings, is it wrong? I really don't give a rats ass. It's you. Do what you want. Now, what about children? Good question. I don't have any. But I would think I would teach them the traditional male female relationship because that is what I am used to. But also let them know others may have different feelings. And it is up to them to sort that out. Not you, not me, not anyone else. Just don't force your beliefs on them, and don't let them force their beliefs on you. Maybe I am just too simplistic.
i’m not asking whether you believe in the bible.
i just want your opinion as to whether you think the bible teaches it.
i don’t, for what it’s worth..
Also, I am just assuming that poor Holy is the bastard part of the trinity. He gets no respect.

If God is a trinity, and God created man in his image, then man has a multiple personality disorder (Dissociative identity disorder).
one of the most despicable things i can remember is having the elders determining whether or not you “qualified” for proper funeral services in a kingdom hall and if the talk could be given by an elder.
people are hurting terribly and the family is then told, even though the deceased was a member of the congregation, they still weren’t good enough to qualify for proper burial services per the congregation!
.
True story...
A brother committed suicide. OD on a prescription drug. Brothers initially said they couldn't have a funeral talk at the hall because it looked like he killed himself. They didn't want to give a "bad name' to Jehovah. Family then informed the elders he had a 100K life insurance policy left to the hall just 2 days later. That weekend, there was a funeral talk at the hall. The reason now? It would take over a month for the autopsy to prove he OD and he was such a fine example for the congregation! Bunch of fucking hypocrites. It's all about the $$$.
yesterday, robert kraft, the owner of the new england patriots, got busted for getting a massage and more.
they say there is another more high profile person who also got busted.. does this stuff upset you that some men have gone into a massage parlor for possibly more than a massage?

I go to "massage parlors" about once a month. I find them better than chiropractors for my back. Finding ones that don't offer 'extras' can be daunting. Something about walking on my back and those hot stones work for me. I've learned if they advertise they have table showers, it is probably a rub and tug. I have tried the chain massage business Massage Envy and, well to put it plainly, they suck. Overpriced, unhappy employees who don;t know what they are doing. So back to your original question, No, I am not horrified. But I am concerned about finding a place that doesn't have workers forced into a sex trade.
you probably think i need mental counseling but i am moving from southwest florida to minnesota.
i was just there last week in the -29 degree weather to close on a house i bought in oakdale, minnesota.
being a florida resident for 5 years has taught me that it is no longer the paradise that people think it is.
You have a great time in Minnesota with your daughter! Live free!
why do jehovah's witness members incriminate themselves to any judicial process?
how can three elders conduct a judicial meeting with a 15-year-old teenage girl who supposedly was rumored to fornicate, took drugs or was drunk from drinking alcohol?
can she or the parents refuse to answer any questions?.
If Peter would deny Jesus today, the elders would DF him on brazen conduct. No mercy for you fool.
have you ever heard of a jw minor getting disfellowshipped and their parents then throwing them out of home?
i know of 1, 14yr old, df'd for smoking and the very same night it was annoced his mother kicked him out of the family home on to the streets!.
unsurprisingly as an adult he's never returned to his mother or the wt .
We had a family in my old congregation that had a 17 y/o who got fed up with the WT bullshit. He told his parents who went straight to the elders. The parents were/are all in...wife is a pioneer, husband a ministerial servant. The elders asked the kid about it and he told them flat out the WT is bullshit. He was DF the next meeting, and his parents threw him out of the house the following day. He ended up moving in with some relatives then graduated high school. The parents were rewarded for their actions by being interviewed on a Circuit Assembly part the following year. Utterly disgusting.
