  Great Point. I dont know the answer to your question nor do I want to detract from your point. The reason I responded was because I asked my JW co-worker about the Bereans of more noble character thing. His responce stunned me due to his commintment to the GB. I really did not know what to say. This is great. If it might work for elders, it might work on him.

  Society unsure about Adam's Sexual Orientation

  by Amazing in

  yes, folks, the all-wise, all-knowing, all-seeing watchtower society peers into and explores all possibilities of thought and logic.

  yes, right back to our beginnings they look at how adam needed to determine who would serve as his companion ... and where did he search?.

  "before god created anything new, a woman, god left the man free to determine whether there was a suitable companion for him among all the lower animals.

  My JW co-woker looked at me one day and said "you know its truth, stop resisting it". I've read a few different commentaries on Genesis. What insight, no one seemed to have this take on it. How could they have missed it?

  From the 1989 "Should you Believe in the Trinity"

  The Catholic Encyclopedia also comments: "In Scripture there is as yet no single term by which the Three Divine Persons are denoted together. The word [tri'as] (of which the Latin trinitas is a translation) is first found in Theophilus of Antioch about A. D. 180. . . . Shortly afterwards it appears in its Latin form of trinitas in Tertullian ." However, this is no proof in itself that Tertullian taught the Trinity.

  to 2002 watchtower

  Tertullian viewed the Son as subordinate to the Father. However, in his attempt to counteract modalism, he went "beyond the things that are written." (1 Corinthians 4:6) As Tertullian erroneously sought to prove the divinity of Jesus by means of another theory, he coined the formula "one substance in three persons." Using this concept, he attempted to show that God, his Son, and the holy spirit were three distinct persons existing in one divine substance. Tertullian thus became the first to apply the Latin form of the word "trinity" to the Father, the Son, and the holy spirit.

  The light does become brighter. Who do I contact to start my personal home studies?
