Who or What is the Holy Spirit?
by FusionTheism intradition within christianity has long been that any time the phrases holy spirit, holy ghost, or spirit of godare used in the bible (especially in the new testament), it always refers to the mysterious third divine person of the trinity, who is fully god, co-equal to the father and son, yet somehow distinct.. i want to present a simplified alternative view: let the context determine the meaning!.
(one thing to keep in mind is that the meaning of the bible words used for spirit basically is unseen force or invisible presence.).
the holy spirit as the mind and personality of god.

He is actually NOT responsible for wt policies. Hes responsible for the religious policies of jehocahs witness. its so manipulative and devious underhanded and crooked..... But average witness dont know or care. Its just not relevant. -

Its an interesting turn of phrase, "not in subjection to the watchtower corporation". If in fact thats what he said then he was being truthful. Recall some years ago the GB SPECIFICALLY seperated themselves from the WT corporation. Thats why the head of the wtb&s is no longer automatically the head of the GB as was the case in the old days. In fact the corporate officers of the wtb&s are not on the GB at all. Functionally every wotness knows the gb is in charge but legally they are disconnected nobodys. Using ceasers laws to their advantage. -

Game of Thrones - Shunning
by berrygerry ini waited a week to avoid any spoilers.. last week's episode was harsh, to say the least.. a live burning-at-the-stake of a child to please the gods.. and yet, we have conventions taking place around the world - with bravos to those parents who sacrifice the emotional well-being of their children by shunning them.
clap-clap-clap.. what is worse, killing them outright, or the long, drawn-out emotional sacrifice demanded by the modern-day baal, gb 2.0?.

Watchtower now Proudly Promoting the DIVINE Jesus
by FusionTheism inthe revised nwt has a footnote on john 1:1 showing that "a god" means "divine.".
also, their other publications are now much more boldly referring to jesus as divine:.

Who's will is it?
by freemindfade inin our super cappy fallacious public talk today.
i kept hearing "we do jehovahs will" "do jehovahs will" "not our will...jehovahs" there was a lot of crap in the talk to be irritated by.
but this got me thinking.... if you are required under penalty of death!

I find it interesting that jw's compare the time the desert is allowing to pass to a court cass being made for mans rule. If you take the same court case analogy the desert god is guilty of coercion on all mankind, mafia style. In true darth vader fashion he offers "join me or die". Nice job outta you, shepherder diety. -

Its interesting i had a similar thought but it came from a different angle. After the episode i was talking with an appointed brother who watches the show as well (yea i know). I expressed my hope that stanks would pay for that with his life and how absolutly horrific it was that he did that at the direction of this red woman.... The brother (who has a youmg daughter himself!) sympathized with stanis and called it a hard choice!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was stunned beyond words but as i thought about it..... He would do the exact same thing if his little girl needed a blood transfusion. He would sacrifice her at the order of the org without hesitation. -

Very imteresting read marvin. I appreciate the article from the malwain author as well. In Crisis of Conscience Ray Franz does an excellent job explaining that the us branch would have advised them buying the cards was fine, however the local brothers forbade it initially and the Brooklyn didnt want to overturn it. Awefull story of unessary loss and torture because of blindly following following fools who are following fools.
