Chris Hitchen's (may he rest in peace) may be a better Jehovah's Witness prophet than the present governing body, who never got anything right! They also only decided Putin's Russia was king of the north after the persecution, too. He correctly predicted the threat by Putin's Russia and his use of the Russian orthodox church as another means of oppression. The interesting part is 15:15 but the speech is interesting and pretty short to listen to the whole thing.

The "Trinity" is not Biblical.
by Revealed insimple.. you cannot find the word there (or many of the comical variations such as: a triune godhead, the triunity, co-equal god beings, godhead, a hypostaic union, divine essences, divine natures, a god-the-son, a god-the-ghost, hypostasis, homoousios, perichoresis , a godman, omnipresence, incarnation, a god who is a sacred mystery, a god 'in three persons', dual natures, a reincarnate god, a first person of the trinity, a second person of the trinity, a third person of the trinity, godness, a tri-unity or a multipersonal god), or any of the so-mentioned aspects.. jehovah identified himself (not 'themselves") as on one god, as did jesus and all the prophets.
.
so, come, let us know of the simple twists of the clergy!.

I think a lot of people on this forum no longer believe in the Bible being the word of God, therefore the question of the Trinity is no longer important to them.
However the lady who does the Witness for Jesus YouTube channel is a Christian, an exJW who knows a lot about the Bible and the Trinity and may be able to explain things to you. Here is a series about the Divinity of Jesus :
Here's one about the 144,000 doctrine:

Revealed you may be interested in this link to a webinar with Dr. Bart Ehrman who is going to answer the following questions:
Soon after Jesus’ death, his disciples claimed that he was God
What did they mean by that? Was he the One and Only God, Yahweh?
Did they think he was God before he died, during his public ministry?
Did he himself think so? Did he say so?
In this lecture, we will look at what the evidence actually tells us
He is widely accepted as one of the world's foremost New Testament scholars, a master of Divinity and PhD professor at the university of Carolina, Chapell Hill.

Does it matter what his motive is? After all, aren't we here to help? Not be sarcastic?

In an indoor environment and no fresh air coming in, particularly during winter months.
A lot of Kingdom Halls are built with few windows to let in fresh air, using air con that probably won't have the best standard modern filters so blasts someone else's bugs straight at your face.

JWs who are now paying the price of following the cult.
by mickbobcat inmy in-laws are two such people.
people who pioneered and did not work and try to save, instead they made just enough to get by and waited for the end to come.
now my mil is in palliative care and the state is paying for her keep, my fil lives in a dilapidated home and can not keep it up.

Longhair GalThe generation before them (the Greatest Generation) has very few still surviving.
The generation before the "baby boomers" is called "The Silent Generation". The *"greatest generation" was the one before that.
*Always thought that was a funny term for group that encompassed the Nazis, Stalin's henchmen and the Vichy French.
Personally I think the Boomers were the greatest generation. They bought us kicking and screaming into a modern world of equality, took us to the moon and founded the computer age.

Three children families stop step decline in Mormon membership
by joe134cd ini just posted this on a seperate thread, but i think it deserves its own thread.
this is with regard to the pew survey that states “2 out of three 3 born into the jehovah’s witness faith.
will not remain in the faith as adults.”.

This is why I can't accept JW numbers joe134CD . If the Mormons need three children families to prop up numbers, and we know JWs don't have a lot of children and certainly are not making converts ..how can JW numbers have remained at 8 million for over ten years? Even with PiMO's included, It's just not possible!
