Troublesome Trinity Verses Part 2

by hooberus in

on a previous thread many other "troublesome" verses have been brought up.

i will take some of these and start theads for them.

due to the complexity of the subject, several threads each covering one or two verses will be started, lord willing.

If trinitarians are true monotheists, why do they speak of "God the Father" + "God the Son" + "God the Holy Spirit"? One "God" plus another "God" plus still another "God" within "God" = 3 "Gods" in 1 "God," not 3 "Persons" in 1 "God." As meaningless as such gibberish and gobbledygook is to intelligent people seeking truth, trinitarians defend it.

Trinitarians do not think of 3 separate Gods (which 1 + 1 + 1 would be). Try this: 1 x 1 x 1 = .....1! This gives us the full volume of God...One God, 3 persons.

by UnDisfellowshipped in

the gospel of salvation -- the good news of jesus christ:

plain and simple, according to the holy scriptures

but sounds like a rather typical trite little born again speel, like the ones spouted by the local street preachers.

Typical? The truth does tend to be consistent.

"Depending on the law of the land where he lives, the molester may well have to serve a prison term or face other sanctions from the State. The congregation will not protect him from this. Moreover, the man has revealed a serious weakness that henceforth will have to be taken into account. If he seems to be repentant, he will be encouraged to make spiritual progress, share in the field service, even have parts in the Theocratic Ministry School and nonteaching parts in the Service Meeting."

I can't believe this! It seems like they're not concerned at all. I know they are here talking about a repentant individual, but still - to mention field service, Theocratic Ministry School, Service Meeting....it's like - "Don't go - we still want to keep you under our control and keep our numbers up at the same time." Ugh.

It makes me absolutley sick -- the problem is I just can not read a Watchtower or Awake magazine now with an open mind - I am alwys thinking "What lies am I being told now?"

Yes, I don't see this as a problem. I think it's a must to critcally examine anything the WTS publishes, after all the lies they've told.

WT Organ Transplant Ban 1967-80: The Human Cost?

by Room 215 in

this is to ask whether any of you out there have first-hand knowledge of lives possibly lost ( i say possibly because any such procedure isasmittedly fraught with risks) because of the 13-year jw transplant ban..

Daniel 11:37

by Yizuman in

daniel 11.

37 neither shall he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all..

i'm leaving this up for interpretation.. this verse is speaking of the coming anti-christ and it gives a bit of some detail about his background....note it states that he will have no desire for women.. so what does that make the anti-christ be???.

BornAgainGirl!

Is it really saying that he will have no desire for women? Or is it saying he will not regard his desire for women?

Some think the antichrist is the pope...

Celibacy...

But I too, think there are many antichrists.

Matrix Theory - Your input please

ok... i have to admit that i have been obsessing over the movies the matrix... especially after the second one where some odd things happened.

agent smith was replicating in the matrix, neo was "feeling" and stopping the sentinels in the real world, agent smith copied himself into a human in zion.. now i normally don't obsess over movies... i usually just watch them once and then move on... no big deal.

but this time i have been trying to figure out all of the odd things about the matrix.. i wanted to throw my theories out for everyone to examine and see what you all think.... here goes... remember in the first movie when neo went to see the oracle?

I see, I see. I think you may be on to something!

Hmmm...interesting. But the humans would still in essence be slaves, correct? And have you seen the Animatrix - "I could never turn my back on the truth..." I don't think all those "unhappy" people would just live life knowing they are still really being controlled...just in a different setting/matrix. I don't know, just my thoughts. I can't wait till it comes out, though!

Subliminal Images in Watchtower Literature

by BornAgainGirl! in

subliminal images in watchtower stuff:.

http://watchtower.observer.org/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=subliminalimages and there are many more than this.. what i want to know is - why?

BornAgainGirl!

Hi all,

Subliminal images in Watchtower stuff:

http://watchtower.observer.org/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SUBLIMINALIMAGES and there are many more than this.

What I want to know is - why? What purposes do these images serve? Are the artists JWs themselves? If so, are they directed to put these in there? Why does the WT deny their existance?

I think it's scary. Any thoughts, theories, etc.?

Jehovah's Witness and Birthdays

by lisavegas420 in

i know that jehovah's witness say only two birthday celebrations are spoken of in the bible and that neither were held by persons who worshiped jehovah.

or were there any other celebrations that were simular to birthday celebrations?.

inquiring minds need to know.

Hey Coffee,

Do you know the reference for "going beyond the things are are written"? That verse pops into my head all the time, as it seems to me that almost everything the JWs believe falls into that category.

I loved this topic - you guys all brought up such good points!
