  Plankton, Plankton, Plankton. Won't you ever learn?

  Yes, there is one God. The Lord your God is one. No question about that. What is interesting to note [and to know] is that you continue to deny the other half of this truth. Please let me explain briefly.

  In Hebrew, there are 2 words for one. There is YACHID which means one, only one, something singular. The other word for one is ECHAD which means a unity of several parts or things as in 'evening and morning became one [echad] day' or 'husband and wife become one [echad] flesh'.

  It is the word ECHAD which is used in the Jewish Shema which declares that the Lord your God is one [echad] Lord. So it doesn't take a brain surgeon to follow the logic, does it? Is that conclusive proof that there is a Trinity? No, but it is proof that there is more to God than the WTS would have us believe.

  Other examples include in Gen 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness'. Still more old testament proofs of God's plurality is found at the Tower of Babel when God says 'Let us go down', ofcourse, he came down alone.

  I know that these are scriptures that you would deny...too bad for you. I'll keep you in my prayers kids.

  ps- You still never addressed the whole EGO EIMI from John 8;58. Ego Eimi means literally 'I am'. I have been is an incorrect translation that has been altered to appear that the WTS position could be accurate. Of course we know that is not the case as the Jews were going to stone Jesus for blasphemy after he said ego eimi. Apparently Jesus knew who he was, eh?

  respectfully,

  Hi StAnn, I am not familiar with the Tridentine Rite Parish, but it certainly sounds like it would make the MadJW madder.

  My re-embrace of the catholic faith did not involve rcc, but rather a family members trip to a place called Medjugorje in Bosnia. It cascaded into several family members making the same trip and the whole family [,aside from the JW sibling with his family] returning to the catholic faith.

  I thought so too, [that JWs wouldn't go for catholism], but there are many that have a very catholic view.

  For the record, I'm a catholic and I have never been a JW, but my bro was baptised JW some 20 years ago or so and he always would tell me how he'd eat catholics, protestants and mormons for lunch.

  And for many years he had me stumped with his well worked out sales pitch. I was the typical catholic insomuch as I believed that the catholic church was the truth, but once he started throwing scriptures and meanings at me , well, I was not prepared to defend my faith and I certainly failed in seeking God's will. Although he got me to abandon my catholic faith for several years, I still never believed that the JWs had the truth. I dunno, but from the get go I never got a good feeling from them. It was later confirmed when my brother didn't help to tend to our grandmother before she died. Then couldn't go to the funeral. Then the same thing for 2 other grandparents. Ofcourse such choices led to heartache for our parents [and still contiunues today...damn, he's dumb].

  Later, I had a very personal gift from God that prompted me to read scripture [as well as doing many other things] and then, after some time, I could answer his questions with an amount of confidence. Later, as I started reading some of the church fathers positions I knew that they very much favored the catholic position and had written extesively about their beliefs and practices.

  Ultimately, the more well read one is on the bible, the early church and the beliefs of the church fathers, the more likely they would drop the WTS and embrace Rome...obviously imho.

  respecfully,

  HELL EXPLAINED......

  hell explained by chemistry student.

  the following is a question from a university of washington chemistry mid term exam.. the answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :.

  bonus question: is hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?.

  Since the internet is available, and and dissenting viewpoints are available I've come to the conclusion that people who really believe the lies taught by the WTBS are morons

  It is a very interesting thing to say the least. For the life of me I cannot understand how/why people can control other people so effectively and easily. Even before the internet the contidictions of the WTS are so overwhelming that I often think 'how can you continue to believe this "truth"?'

  ei- Soul is mentioned in scripture some 900 times and has numerous meanings. How could you possibly believe that you could sum up what the soul is with one scripture verse? Jesus most certainly declares himself as God [john 8;58]. The Jews around him were going to stone him for blasphemy. John 1 In the beginning was the word. Not in the beginning the word was created, no, it was already there and the verse that says the word was a god. Come on, did I read that in the book of a john?

  Not morons, just easily controlled.

  Oh Plankton,

  Once you change a few words in the bible then the door is open to change 'em all until it really does say what you want it to say.

  won't you ever learn?
