  Trinity

  by desib77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  been a long time since i've posted.

  just thought i would stop in, say hi, and get your thoughts on this.. since leaving the jws i have tried to be open to all ideas regardless of how different it is from the way i was raised.

  i am having trouble with one issue, though, the trinity.

  I don't use the NWT Bible and I can't see an overall drift in the trinitarian direction.

  the one thing JWs did get right is that biblically, the trinity is bogus. just read up on any history of the trinity and it wont take much to see that the doctrine was pushed along for political reasons.

  Are you still under mind control?

  by ninja in

  when facing the truth about 9/11 being an inside job......do you refuse to believe it?....or are you scared to be called a conspiracy nut?......is this not the same as being controlled by the jw's and being called an apostate if you question the status quo?....free your minds and waken up.....why did the pentagon....the most secure building on the planet get hit?...where were the air force??

  ?...wtc 7 was brought down by explosives....why did san francisco mayor willie brown receive a warning not to fly that morning?....the evidence is overwhelming and out there....all you need to do is read it and waken up again....you did it once in escaping the borg.....

  GOOD NEWS! Scientists to create human/animal embryos for research in the UK

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i know it's emotive and i know some will fundamentally disagree that this is good news at all but i believe it is.. .

  from the bbc; regulators have agreed in principle to allow human-animal embryos to be created and used for research.

  but scientists wanting to use hybrids will still need to make individual applications, the human fertilisation and embryology authority said.

  ness, I ask this sincerely - would you be more comfortable allowing elderly citizens to degenerate with Alzheimers?

  about as comfortable as I am watching my father die of ALS. there are lines which in my opinion were not meant to be crossed. that is of course my opinion. only the future will tell if there will be any ramifications to our tinkering about.

  As a JW were you ever counseled about clothes you wore, or lack thereof ?

  thought this could get interesting discussing experiences.

  i for one was trying to reach out for ministerial servant again in the early 90's , had been one before, and was assigned to carry the microphones one meeting.

  had an elder call me in the back room and say , " brother flipper, i noticed looking down towards your shoes that you are wearing white socks today.

  lets be completely serious shall we. we were JWs in Kingdom Halls. even at our most provocative, just how salacious could we have looked, eh?
