  The Trinity... is it a false teaching as the WTBTS claims?

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the old testament god revealed himself to his chosen people, the israelites as i am:.

  ex 3:14-15 - god replied to moses, i am who i am.

  this is what you are to say to the israelites: i am .

  apostate kate,

  what version of the bible did you find the scripture from isaiah? i am looking at isaiah 9:6-7 in the new king james version and it reads in verse 6-"...and his name will be called wonderful, counseler, mighty god, everlasting father, prince of peace." the the isn't there.

  moggy lover,

  no matter how you twist it a title is not a name...charles windsor's "name" is charles windsor, and his "title" is prince of wales. do you think his family calls him prince at home? i would think they call him charles, or charlie, or maybe even chuck(although that may be american rather than english). it is true that many people are called by their title---mayor, sheriff, principal, etc. but that does not make the title they hold their name...this includes the prince of wales and the holy spirit.

  and are you saying that the god of the new testament is not the same person, enity, being as the god of the old testament? and if that is what you are saying, what do you base this on?

  just2questions. if jesus is god, who said "this is my son..." on more than one occassion? perhaps jesus was a ventriloquist, but i can't find scripture for this. if the holy spirit is god why does it have a description instead of a name? " jehova" is a name, " jesus" is a name, " the holy spirit" is not a name.

  Made-Up Rules Dubs Try To Impose On Each Other

  by calico in

  this is in reference to the thread about dubs not having pets.

  although, not a rule from the borg there are ones who would say you should not have pets.

  can you think of other silly made-up rules that someone tried to impose on you?

  old way: pray,sacrifice,pray, snip snip

  new way: snip snip, "next"

  i've always been grateful for being born in a catholic hospital, not because we were catholic but because it was the closest hospital to where my mom and i were at the time...

  in a local spanish congregation...no blonde hair for women, since only prostitutes have blonde hair...blondie, this is their rule not mine...the po's wife in this same congregation once told a sister that she was "going to hell" if she didn't stop watching novellas. sometimes i think it is more than the language they don't understand.

  What would happen if all of the WTS in-house attorneys quit?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i was wondering, if the wts legal dept.

  got overwhelmed with lawsuits and their volunteer attorneys at bethel decided that they couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave bethel, how would this affect the society?.

  would the society have to consult outside attorneys?

  virgochick,

  about 2 years ago someone who is supposed to know told us that there were 93 in house lawyers at that time. they were hoping to make it 95...also the org does have a policy of hiring outside local lawyers in litigation(i guess someone has to know where the courthouse is located)

  edited to add this thought...the legal department is probably the only dept at bethel that will not be in fear of downsizing in the foreseeable(is this actually a word.lol) future.

  Abusers and Abusees love the org...

  by tall penguin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my experience, those who become jw's as adults (not born in) could be described as abusers or abusees.

  more often than not, they have unresolved issues of abuse from their past and gravitate to the structure of the org to re-experience the controlling, abusive environment of their past as the victim or the perpetrator.

  from what i've seen, the more these past abuse issues are dealt with, the less of a hold the org has on a person.

  one of the things i have observed, because of my experience with an abusive family i think it is easier to deal with some of the attitudes i encounter...if i can tell my non jw family to f***o** i can certainly tell someone that i have known for a relatively short time and have far less emotional attachment to. of course over the years i have learned some tact, but the idea is the same. as an aside, it always makes me laugh when posters to this forum assume that every jw obeys mindlessly every order given by any window washer that comes along...if i didn't obey my abusive parents why would i obey an abusive stranger? the trick with both groups is to make them think you want to obey, but somehow you just never do...

  thankyou for wanting to help.

  i believe i have a good chance of winning this lawsuit.

  the watchtower lawyers are defendants and have tried three times to have the lawsuit thrown out and have failed.

  does anyone have a report on the younger sister of bethany? wasn't there a custody battle going on...and that thought led to this thought---how was shunnedfather able to afford the costs of a divorce and a custody case? are donated funds used to pay for these things. i might still want to give shunnedfather some money, but i have to admit that it might affect the priority i put on it...i apologize for my ignorance of canadian law, but i am trying to learn.
