Trinity - HELP!!!
by Hamboozled in
1. watchtower
2. bible
since being in the jw org for close to 35 years (from infant) and recently leaving i have been studying topics like the trinity because i was never allowed to before.

i'm getting so many mixed reviews from the scriptures of whether the trinity is possible or impossible.

" and john 1:18 "no one has ever seen god, but god the one and only, who is at the father's side, has made him known.

how many just stopped believing in the jw predictions/description of what armageddon is all about?

ive met exjws that stopped believing in everything they were taught and ive met some that stopped believing in everything except armageddon.

What outward signs of apostacy are evident in your house?
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
if the elders came and inspected your home - what would they find?.

a casual look around reveals a box of "narnia" tissues on my desk, 12 or 14 non-witness translations of bibles on my shelves, many non approved novels [wifey's] on the reading table, plenty of 'apostate literature', a book or two on meditation, a hypnosis cd for weight loss, prob many toys that are not witness approved in the g-kids room, a half eaten birthday cake, a birthday balloon, xmas wrapping paper in the closet , a couple of r rated movies, music that is not acceptable.. that is just at first blush.

how is your house?

hi, i have been posting for a while now but haven't shared my story, and feel it would be theraputic to do so now.

my family is also on the site, although they dont post, just read.. i grew up a jw.

my parents were baptized when i was just a toddler...they were brought in by the only jw members of my dads side of the family.
