the other night in the pub a guy pipes up, "hey, how you doing mate?

then proceeds to inform everyone that i used to try and convert him to jwism about 8 years ago.

i say, "how you doing dave?"...

Wait Wait, Wait..What is all this "cult" talk? This is not how we Jw's are really perceived by you guys is it? :) In college I was embarrassed a bit about having JW ties, but now that I am more actively involved I am quite proud of it actually.
Wild stab in the dark, Mr. Ben did you do a stint in Tennesee-Michigan U.S.A? Something sounds a little too familiar.

When did early church "fathers" first unequivocally write of Trinity?
by True North in

anyone know when the early church "fathers" first unequivocally wrote of the trinity?

how about when they first unequivocally wrote of the unitarian/arian viewpoint?

and when did one view versus the other first become an issue?

Interesting thread...
The Wisdom of Solomon in its *Wisdom* specualtion seesms to hint at language the so-called Trinitarian language the NT used of the Son and the Spirit. I doubt the author viewed Wisdom as a person, but Paul definitely did, and applied some of these applications to the Son. (But not the Spirit, at least not the more personal qualities)
W.O.S, 7:24-26 ".... And she (Wisdom) penetrates and permeates evrything, because she is so pure; For she is the breath of the power of God, And a pure emanation of his Almighty glory;..... For she is a reflection of the everlasting light, And a spotless mirror of the activity of God" (Smith and Goodspeeds)
Sirach 1:4 :" Wisdom was created before them all" (before all others...JB)
Paul borrows this in the NT
Hebrews 1:3 " He is the reflection of God's glory, and the representation of his very being"
Colossians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation"

hey folks, i started a thread like this on another forum....... i have heard many experiences from people who claim to have had intimate experiences with demons and the like.

most of it i easily discard as emotionally unbalanced physco-drama, and for good reason.

however i have heard much on this *ouija* board stuff......."ohh, it is freaky" kinda talk.

in the event you had the misfortune to miss thursday's service meeting.

1. boring announcements and an equally frustratng review of what needs to be done to prepare for the memorial.

as if all in attendance needed to be involved in bringing the glasses, wine, bread, and the appropriate accoutrements.. 2. a 20 minute review of how to place the time and location on the memorial invitation.

Hmmmm, I rather enjoyed the reminders. We are expecting almost 200.

Any way, what is the catch I am missing with it. Is it magnets or what? I have never used one, does not interest me at all. And has anybody had what they consider a *demonic* encounter? I will not judge, I am a nice guy. Your input is welcome.
Thank-you, Lynn
