Those are interesting points but they don't illuminate the debate about the trinity.
There is nothing about reality that suggests the trinity. It is entirely a human invention — a piece of sophistry invented to cover the awkwardness of worshipping Jesus.
While I agree there is a deep mystery at the heart of human knowledge the trinity dogma does not deserve such respect. It is not so much deep as it is a 'deepity'.

Inventing a blatant contradiction and refusing to elaborate, other than to declare it a 'mystery', or asserting that other people are just not 'spiritual' enough to grasp it, is what most rational people call bullshit.

what a bully you are buddy - TTWSYF
I am the one discussing facts and you and JWA are resorting to personal attacks and yet you call me a bully. That's pathetic.
My challenge remains unanswered. Please describe the trinity simply in their own words without resorting to esoteric Greek terms, without self-contradiction or heresy.
Calling it a 'mystery' or telling people they are just not 'spiritual' enough to understand it is not acceptable.
JWA says there are three people who make up one god. But when asked if that is the same as saying god is a team or a committee he just gets annoyed. Maybe you can help?
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
Do you know of anyone that has been disfellowshipped for purchasing 8 bottles of Scotch... If not, how is it hypocrisy? - Simon
Something doesn't need to be a disfellowshipping offense for it to be hypocrisy. What if a GB member sent their children to University and encouraged them to pursue a career in medicine? What if they bought a Rolls Royce? What if they only did 1 hour a month door-to-door and refused to submit to the public humiliation of of standing beside a trolley?
Any average JW might do all of these things and avoid being DFd. They might even be viewed as a JW in good standing. But for one of the law-givers of 8 million JWs to do these things is rank hypocrisy. So is spending 800 dollars on whisky.

TTWSYF - Submission to old men telling you what is 'the truth' is how cults thrive.

I think of the Godhead much like 'time'. Time has a PAST, a PRESENT and a FUTURE
That is a heresy called Modalism.
Nobody has ever described the trinity in their own words without self-contradiction. It isn't 'deep' or 'spiritual' it's just a bit of sophistry for people who worship Jesus but want to hang on to monotheism.
just read this interesting news at jw.org.
g.. .
Second version still doesn't pass muster for grammar or formatting.
i was doing some reminiscing and remember the days back in the late 80s and early 90s where i truly could say the meetings were so encouraging and that i felt the holy spirit present and operating on all of us.
today when i attend, there is nothing of the sort.
is it because jehovah has withheld it?
Christians interpret positive emotions as 'Holy Spirit'. It is entirely subjective.

No you're actually offering a very narrow and dogmatic view of the Bible. It is a cult that, just like the JWs, divides the world into them and us.
You believe with all your heart that everyone who rejects your dogma deserves to burn in hell. You advocate biblical ethics that are obnoxious. You have an apocalyptic worldview just like the Watchtower. Your cult is an enemy of intellectual freedom, reason and science. It is literally just as damaging as the JWs.
Just like Watchtower apologists you dismiss difficult questions with personal attacks.
Don't imagine you and I have common cause. We do not.

To offer information and support. My posting history speaks for itself.
Ex-Jws should be encouraged to focus on education, careers, family, friends and personal interests NOT enticed into an alternative cult.
