I Hate the Sound of the Word Jehovah

by cofty in

listening to clips of the latest manipulative video from the watchtower i realised how much i detest that word - jehovah.. sometimes i have thought it would be interesting to observe a meeting or part of a convention.

every time i heard that word i would be unable to stay in my seat.. i have a visceral reaction every time i hear it.

it stands for so much that i have contempt for.

One's is another, these one's. Cringey cringe cringing curr...cringey cringe...cring..ey (ok enough)

We talk a lot about conditional friends on here

by cappytan in

jw
friends

so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.

real friendships aren't conditional.".

i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.

BTW…having gone through divorce and so forth, THEN a year later having gone through being shunned by everyone I knew including family, I’m not sure a friend sleeping with my wife would automatically be a dealbreaker for either my friendship or marriage. Of course, I’ve never had that specific experience, so I can’t say for sure. But being shunning made me reevaluate things. Apart from physical violence or sexual assault,isolating someone is one of the most worst things you can do to a person.

I agree Londo 111, I think the JW's way over estimate how damaging sleeping with someone else is to a relationship.

Sure, its not good, but I for one can think of a lot worse than doing one of the 3 things we humans are programmed by nature to do (breathe, eat, procreate)as you mention violence for one, sexual or otherwise.

Edit: and isolation is TORTURE as you rightly said, its cruel. Much more unforgiveable & unnatural

what is the ontlogical trinity

by piledriver in

the trnity to me means the true nature of god essence,attributes each person of the trinity is equal the father the son and the holly spirit all share the devine nature ie three persons of the godhead are all equal in power ,glory and wisdom john 10:30.jesus and his father god are one meaning of the same nature mathew 28.19 jesus said all to be baptised in the name of the father and of the son and the holly ghost reprissenting 3 persons of the godhead to wellcome the devine trinity into your soul .

I see Christ as the Father's Word manifested in the flesh, and the Holy Spirit as the Father's actions manifested as whatever was observed.

Observed distinct from each other, reliant upon the will of the Father, and yet cannot be separated.

Actually I thought that was quite well put, it's the nearest thing to understanding it I've ever come,anyway.

by BluesBrother in

"most people lie at least once during a ten minute conversation.

why bother trying to be different?".
