    You get your definition of the Trinity from the Watchtower. I doubt that you even know what it is as described in the Catholic Encyclopedia.

    Your "Should You Believe in the Trinity Brochure" has twenty odd pages to discuss that definition, and doesn't.

    It has twenty odd pages to discuss John 20:28. Have you read it? Does it really address any of the problems? Are the statements it makes verifiable? Can you direct me to the writings of the 'scholars' that make their 'suggestion'?

    None of my Jehovah's Witness relatives actually know what the doctrine really is and some of them have been preaching against it for 70 years.

    How did that happen, Spade?

    While in some instances we can cooperate with research projects including surveys we certainly want to avoid having publishers expressing personal viewpoints that may not be in line with the Bible principles that really govern each Christian’s conduct and the united efforts of the brotherhood to carry out Jehovah’s will.

    Thanks!

    An undescribed number of publishers expresses personal - "unscriptural" - points of view, yet each Christian's conduct is governed by Bible principles ...

    Why defend the Watchtower Society? Anyone who does not comprehend that they are nothing more than a cult, with undertones very much like the Muslims must have their head up Arse.

    A noteworthy fact is that Rutherford lived to the age of 73 in good health. The abuse of alcohol is condemned in Jehovah's Organization and this fact can be ascertained by getting to know them as individuals.

    Oh yeah I forgot this part.

    Rutherford had a far more lenient attitude towards drunkenness, fornication, and other similar sins. So the Society now teaches that people who do "such things as fornication, getting drunk, lying or cheating" will not be saved at Armageddon (Paradise Earth, 1989, p. 155). This is on the basis of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. When Rutherford commented on this scripture, he took the opposite stance. He said that although drunkenness and other similar sins are to be "properly condemned," the people who commit these offenses often "are victims of circumstances" and "hampered by fleshly weaknesses which they are powerless to resist ... They are sinners; but not wicked people, because their hearts are not wicked. It often happens that such people are credited with being the 'best-hearted people in the community'. They are sinners, and commit offenses because of weaknesses or because of ignorance. God pities the sinners and makes allowances for their weaknesses" (Watchtower, 15 March 1929, pp. 93-94). Those doing God's work in vindicating his name are those who please God, regardless of fleshly weakness; Rutherford used the example of King David whose "flesh was weak" but as the earthly representative of God's organization he "could be called a man after God's own heart" (Watchtower, 1 September 1929, p. 271). The ones who are specifically condemned to destruction at Armageddon are those who oppose God's interests and are part of Satan's organization.

    Spade/AIW said: I ask this because my wife revealed to me today that when she and I discuss the WT religion, she counts at least an hour for FS.

    Oh pu-lease. Are you still pretending to be a non-Witness male Alice/Rachel? Who exactly do you think you're fooling?
