  Has the WTBS ever explained the trinity?

  if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

  from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

  love.

  city loses conventionwednesday, october 01, 2008 by lee roopand kay campbelltimes staff writers [email protected]@htimes.comparking dispute spurs jehovah's witnesses to move .

  jehovah's witnesses will move their three summer meetings from huntsville to birmingham next year, ending for now a 12-year string of meetings that brought nearly $9 million a year in business to local hotels and restaurants.

  a dispute over parking has ended the annual meetings, at least for 2009, as the city's largest single convention booking, bringing 6,000 people to town each of the three weekends.

  All of the conventions I ever slept at, in no way were half of the attendees just visitors

  they probably use the ratio of baptised to unbaptised..which may work out at about 50/50 i guess if you factor in kids.

  still deceptive tho...

  cunning as serpents they would call it

  i had been walking around manhatten one hot summer day and across the brooklyn bridge...in shorts, sneakers, and a basketball vest.

  earlier that year my wife and i had put up 4 ny bethel boys who wanted to visit castles in scotland. i had never met them before and i ran them around and we provided them with bed and board obviously at no cost.

  so as we had walked across the bridge we decided to see if any of the boys were around and entered the lobby in our casual clothes. talk about providing refreshment for tired souls --- not.

  we didn't get turned away but we sure got ushered out of the public view as quickly as possible.

  if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

  from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

  To the disciples who were grieving, if the Spirit were an impersonal force it would no way comfort or replace a real person. Imagine saying don’t worry you’ll have electricity or a force! The Holy Spirit is a person ...

  Trinitarians do not believe that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same person.

  You're not listening. 3 persons, one god.

  ok so we have established that they are seperate persons...but the one god.

  so are they all equal..in power , in knowledge, in understanding, in ability, in existence.

  To the disciples who were grieving, if the Spirit were an impersonal force it would no way comfort or replace a real person. Imagine saying don’t worry you’ll have electricity or a force!

  hmmm and yet that is exactly what we promise to someone we are leaving ...don't worry i will always be with you..or my spirit will sustain you..you will always have the memory of me..close your eys and i will be there...none of which we actually mean literally..we say it to provide comfort.

  The Sheer Boring Monotony Of Being A Jehovah's Witness

  what a terrible way of wasting valuable time.

  going to meetings is the biggest scam.

  you get nothing more from going than you would if you read a publication in the comfort of your home.

  it appears to me on this thread that all those defending the trinity are doing so by explaining it in just the way that jws believe.

  the irony just knocks me out
