Russell believed he was chosen before he was born!! SCAN!!

by Lady Liberty in

have been emptying my "russell" file for all who need the scans.

here is another crazy idea of his!.

sincerely,.

I can't lay my fingers on the exact page...but somewhere in the Reprints Russell said he thought he had been born justified. To be fair, he said there were others too that had similarly been born justified.

Mars bars made with blood

by 5thGeneration in

jw
friends

anyone remember back 15 years or so ago when some brothers used to think mars bars were made with lecithin derived from blood .. we had a sister call the company and interrogate them.

funny.. .

When I was first associating with the JWs in the mid-60s in Southern California the rumor was in our congregation that McDonalds had blood in their hamburgers. I still remember one friend telling me: "That's why they taste so good!" I was just a teenager and my folks weren't JWs and we often went to McDonalds. My folks never asked me why I suddenly started ordering fish filet sandwiches!

I'm sure the rumor was baseless but I still eat fish filet sandwiches on occasion.

John 17 does not supports the Trinity

by architect in

i know that there are threads about the trinty on this site- but there is no end to the reasearch that can be had.

when reading john chapter 17 you cannot help but see that jesus had a relationship with his father.

if jesus is god in the flesh who was he talking to?

A few others reads on the Trinity.

Is it Biblical?

What did the Early Church have to say about this?

Here's a start:

http://www.catholic-ew.org.uk/faith/foundations/trinity.htm

Christians believe that God is three persons in one nature - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. We do not believe that there are three Gods, but one God in three persons. The divine persons are distinct from each other, but relative to each other and share one divine nature.

Speaking of John 17:

"All I have is yours and all you have is mine, and in them I am glorified." (John 17:10)

Whoa...all God has is Jesus' too?

You would have a point if the Trinity teaching was that Jesus = Father.

But, that's not what it teaches.

Trying to install 95 WT Library & Need Help

by cabasilas in

i recently obtained the 1995 wt library cd-rom and have been trying to get it to work.

it took a few attempts to get it to install but i keep on getting an abormal program termination when i try to use it.

i figure there are configuration issues since it's so old.

cabasilas

What's interesting is in the 1995 CD the books and bound volumes are separated into individual files. So, if one wanted to, they could separate out these files as long as one had the operating file to open them.
