  Why do trolls do what they do?

  by Londo111 in

  i truly don't understand the mindset of a troll.

  i know it's been explained, but i still don't get it.

  it is hard to distinguish between a troll and a jw apologist at times because the reactions are very similar.

  On this site, it is the JW mindset. It is so strong, it really is a shame that the energy used by trolls is not \used to let go of their ego just a little bit. Show a troll [or JW apologist] direct and explicit proof refuting their claims [what ever it is] and they will agree until they get away from reality.

  My brother [uber elder] acknowledges the origins of the name Jehovah and acknowledges that in the OT the prophesy of the savior is God in the flesh. Then, give him some time away and he'll be regurgitating the same old BS.

  What a shame.......

  It's called reality, but believing JWs very actively avoid reality.

  Yes, a grotesque 3 headed monster God is laughable.

  Then again, the Hebrew scriptures explicitly indicate that God is more than a singular entity.

  Every time that the OT references the 'oneness' of God, it is with the plural one. I know, you're thinking 'Hey, The Truth Will Set You Free, what are you talking about? You make no sense at all. How can there be a plural one?'

  In Hebrew there are 2 words for one. There is the singular one and there is a plural one. Yachid and Echad.

  The singular one is self explanatory, the plural one is the combination of things to create 'one'. You could say that a congregation is a plural one as all members of the congregation make up a plural one.

  Direct scriptural examples include references to 'man and women became one [plural one] flesh' 'night and day became one [plural one] day' and 'hear o Israel that the Lord your God is one [plural one] God'

  So, in the Hebrew scriptures is explicit evidence of the plurality of God. If we look at IS 9;6 we see that Jesus IS God, so how could he be God as a child and still have a God running the universe?

  For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

  Answer- One [plural] God

  Not explaining the mystery of the Trinity, just stating that the scriptures agree with the possibility of the concept.

  Attitude in Kingdom Hall vs. in church

  by Yesu Kristo Bwana Wangu in

  2. experiences

  so, today i went to a different church than the jw's for the first time in over three years.. it is a protestant african church.

  my first thoughts: for people who are 'trapped in babylon the great (according to watchtower) these people really seem genuingly happy and sincere in their adoration for god.

  what a freedom compared to the witnesses!

  I was never a JW. My brother converted to the JWs and tried to convert his siblings and family. I had only Catholic, Baptist and Presbyterian examples to compare. All were semi-similiar in their worship of God AND Jesus. One thing that I had noticed while attending JW services is the complete lack of actual worship of God.

  A brief prayer and then talking and not worshiping. If I am wrong, please correct me.

  I even attended my brother's baptism into JW world and still found little actual prayer. So I could see that worship would be a big difference that one would experience while attending another, more mainstream Christian faith.

  How can the WTS call themselves Christians when they have no Christian church?

  so was jesus a fool or a liar?

  he said that his church would last all ages, didn't he?.

  It was more of a point indicating that the church Jesus started was HIS church. Not a church to Jehovah. ALSO that members of the Christian church are witnesses of Jesus, not Jehovah. Hence the question

  How Can The WTS cal themselves Christians in light of these truths?

  Jesus specified about HIS church and those of HIS church are HIS witnesses. Doesn't that mean something to people who claim to be Christians?

  i'm not sure whether or not my view on this is correct so please leave your input.

  in recent months i've been viewing youtube videos.

  again, it might just be my view but there has been an increased amount of random people grabbing a camera and doing vlogs.
