Of course, since the entire preaching work is directed by angels, a JW would never, ever, have to fill out a house-to-house form. Really, filling out a non-existent form like that would really show a lack of faith in God and his angels, no?

Are Jehovahs Witnesses a Cult?
by mankkeli inthis is an excerpt from the 1994 watchtower, february 15. in the entire article, the watchtower tries to debunk any claim of their cultism.
see how they go about it.. " would it be accurate to refer to jehovahs witnesses as a religious group with radical views and practices that clash with what is accepted as normal social behavior?
are jehovahs witnesses a cult?.

The 144K are NOT "males"
by cameo-d inthe passage alluding to this physical attribute was translated from an archaic expression similar to a euphemism we use today.. when we say someone "has balls" it does not mean that they are actually and physically male.. in the same way, the scriptures have been misinterpreted because doctrine is being taught by those without true spiritual insight.. the 144k "have stones" which means that they have unusual courage in the face of adversity.. they are not all physically of the male sex..

The Trinity
by The Quiet One ini have a question, primarily for trinitarians, but anyone's more than welcome to comment.
what scriptural basis is there for believing in the trinity?
i can understand some having the view that jesus/jehovah both can be worshipped, and the view that jesus should be, but where in the bible is the holy spirit worshipped?

Agreed, I don't even pay attention to John 1:1 anymore, as there are so many other facets of Christs divinity that are displayed throughout the NT, especially in what he did, and how the NT applies tons of stuff from YHWH in the OT to him. But, if you find Christs' deity, and you acknowledge the Holy Spirit is a person, I'm not sure else that leaves you, other than the Trinity.

@WontLeave : As ex-JW, I read the NT without any preconceptions, and I did find evidence of the Trinity. I'm not totally convinced, but the evidence is there, at least of Christs deity.
Edit : and at least know now where Trinitarians are coming from, which is 1/2 the battle of discussing something.

For John 1:18, my HCSB translation claims that earlier manuscripts do not support the "only-begotten God" translation, so they stick with the 'only-begotten Son' in that verse..

@ The Quiet One : I'm currently not a trinintarian, yet the mirror that Jesus is provides of YHWH of the Old Testament is quite remarkable. They share many, many titles, abilities and traits etc. Of course, Jesus being a mirror of God is supported by the Bible ("who has seen me, has seen the Father also"), ("the image of God"), ("the exact representation of his [God] being"). Now some will say that Jesus is just that; only a mirror, and not the genuine article. Yet, coming from a strictly Jewish background, if you even remotely insinuated what Jesus said about himself and his relationship with God, you'd be stoned to death for blasphey, and many people of his time tried on multiple occasions. Thus, the only way to reconcile fairly early views of Jesus (outside of the Bible, early Christian writings definitely viewed Jesus as God) with a monotheistic faith is the Trinity doctrine.
