Hi All,
I like the comment where how could there be a Holy Spirit if most of the brothers can't remember names. So true they even forget their wives names. They call their wives honey, darling, or other pet names.
So let's explore the Holy Spirit. Jw's say it's a force others say it's the third part of the trinity. Ummm what could it be or what whom could it be? For lurkers and those who still believe in God but not the God the org. portrays. Let's take a look at what the Bible says, shall we. It's always good to use the Bible for those lurk or those Jw's that need proof. They can call you an apostate if they want to but all you have to do is use the Bible and let their brains short circuit and all you did was show them a scripture. Acts 13:2: as they ministered to Jehovah (see that's wrong right there. It should read as the ministered about Jehovah how do you minister God. What do he need from us. Anyway back to the scripture "and fasting the Holy Spirit (in small letters) SAID, set aside for ME Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them. The Holy Spirit is supposed to help you do what you can't do. You have to ask for it. It's a helper. But you have to ask for it. The Jw's can't ask for it because they are told what it is which makes no sense and that's why they don't get no help.
So by this one scripture we see the Holy Spirit is a what? That's how you approach it with a fellow Jw and leave it there to mess with their brains. Once I asked them about one of the books in the Bible where the character died but I asked who wrote this book in the Bible if the person died and was able to tell of the events that happened after their death, the Jw said the dead man. But I said it seemed the story was told in the 3rd person. That's when I knew most witnesses have pretzel logic.
Now is there a Holy Spirit, that's a personal question because some people didn't let the org take away their beliefs. We all have our reasons for believing or not believing, I am not here to judge anyone. We must not allow the org to make us bitter but if we were able to survive and get out it should make us better not bitter.
