  maccauk (and the two people who liked the OP) do you understand the difference between the trinity and the heresy of modalism as taught by early theologians such as Noetus, Praxeas and Sabellius?

  Other popular non-trinitarian heresies include tritheism, partialism and monarchiansim. Very few christians who claim to worship a trinitarian god actually have a clue what that means.

  It is impossible to explain the trinity simply in your own words without resorting to esoteric Greek phrases and/or committing a heresy.

  This should tell you something.

  A man can be a father, A man can be a son, A man can be a husband, He is the same man but three different aspects of him - maccauk

  That is NOT the trinity.That is a heresy called modalism.

  It's hilarious that even those who try to defend the trinity can't begin to understand it.

  i suffered a closed head wound, severe cervical sprain, 2 broken ribs and multiple contusions on hand and arm and shoulder.

  could have been a lot worse.".

  Anyway he arrived at the meeting this week ..

  Why?

  Very unusual move by the elders. I suspect there is a bit more to it.

  Did you leave the JW RECENTLY? Really? Recently? WTF were you thinking?

  not to be overly harsh...but if you just left, what the hell were you thinking?

  between 1995 and now, you never did an internet search of "jehovahs-witness" or "watchtower"?

  good god.

  Only a few years ago we were shouting from the rooftops how many millions of copies of this magazine we published in hundreds of languages every month.

  Now they have scrapped the magazine - apparently that is also wonderful.

  Update on the $4000 day fine - Padron v Watchtower

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  from reddit:.

  this was an oral argument to dismiss the $4000/day fine.

  both sides presented their arguments and now the judges will write an opinion (30 to 90 days).

  I agree with Flipper they are not spending a fortune to protect the mass of names on that list. I suspect there are names they must protect at any cost.

  SBF - I agree the style is irregular - good spot - but I think that is simply a sign that the local branch wrote the letter under instructions from HQ

  If it was fake it is pointless. It encourages regularity in giving. It does not even come close to anything controversial like tithing or asking for a specific amount.
