  I think I see Mick and Keith singing Hey you, get off of my cloud and being generally rowdy down at the dodgey end.

  Welcome to the Forum, I think you'll be pleasantly (or unpleasantly as it maybe) surprised at how many folks here share your story. For me it was good to realize I wasn't alone in my journy. In any case, welcome.

  Is The watchtower Dishonest When It comes to the Trinity?

  by RevFrank in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in 1989 the watchtower society published a 32-page booklet entitled "should you believe in the trinity?

  " the aim of this publication was to discredit the christian doctrine of the triune nature of god.

  the method that the society used to accomplish this goal was to quote from a plethora of resources, both secular and religious, such as dictionaries, encyclopedias, books and historical literature written by individual authors.

  In response to the question posed in the subject line, I would pose a counter question, When is the Watchtower ever honest? I don't think there is one topic, one subject, one article of faith where their approach to it is honest and forthright, its always twist, misquote, and misrepresent. The trinity, blood, communion, you name it, the Watchtower arrives at their conclusion through dishonesty and contortionist thinking.

  My first year anniversary here.

  by purplesofa in

  no birthday, wedding, first year at a job, first year of a relationship............none seem to bring so much introspective thought as my first year here.. i stumbled on this place looking for more jw's to hang out with online.

  i had no idea what i was in for.

  it did not take long to know that i was among my own kind.. deep thinkers come here to talk, discuss, argue, love, hate, heal, share, but mostly give.

  i have found a lot of people no longer believe in god or jesus since leaving the organization.. im very shocked at this.

  if you dont believe, can you tell me what brought to that conclusion?.

  i was told to look at the thread that one of the members in this forum has created, they are very interesting, but i wanted to get a some feed back from different individuals.. thanks!

  Chimene,

  I see you are wrangling with these godless athiests as I have done in the past.

  The rational part of my being has a pretty hard time swallowing the whole Bible/God/Church concept. When you step back and look at it, it can be pretty hard to rationalize.

  But then there is a part of me that seems to feel that spark of the divine, that just "knows" there is something beyond what we understand, that sees it in nature, art, and the galaxy.

  For me I see it as one of those we won't know until we get there deals, to ridicule a believer or a non-believer is pointless, because I sure don't know.
