  Enjoyed everyone's comments.

  I really appreciate how so many of you know your stuff!

  More and more I am coming to the conclusion that God wears many hats.

  God the father is god in his spirit hat...no man can see him 'cuz he is a spirit.

  The son or Jesus is God manifest in physical form so that men can see him.

  And the holy spirit is God acting in people. When he guides you and when he does something in our physical world.

  Is this what Trinitarians teach?

  Anyway, that's where my head seems to be right now. I see these articles downgrading Jesus and it makes me think they are acting in a very anti-Christ manner.

  apparently jehalapeno isn't a 2nd amendment supporter either.... .

  july 17 questions from readers.... the way this part is worded screams cult to me, i was quite amused.. how a christian chooses to protect himself, his family, or his possessions is, of course, largely a personal matter, as is his choice of employment.. geee!

  thanks watchtower for allowing me to "largely chose my own employment" you are a generous cult lol.

  What the "Worldly" media has to say about the proposed Russian ban of JWs

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  interesting to read the reports from around the world.

  i doubt many jws have read any of them.. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-government-jehovahs-witnesses-extremist-group-lawsuit-supreme-court-a7634671.html.

  russian authorities threatened to close jehovah’s witnesses administrative centre last march, when they issued a formal warning to the congregation that the “religious association will be subject to liquidation” if it failed to eliminate within two months the violations identified by the government as “extremist”.

  Thank you Irishdub for that link to the talk.

  Incredible!!!

  Especially the note to speaker...
  

  Note to the speaker:

  Build appreciation for earthly part of Jehovah’s organization and the important role it plays in our relationship
  with him. Show that accepting the organization is essential, as Jehovah’s purpose is to “gather all things together again in the Christ.” (Eph 1:10) Make it clear that only those who come into and remain in unity with Jehovah and his organization will get life.

  I wish someone would have asked Geoffrey Jackson about that when he was under oath.

  Nathan, do they REALLY have bodyguards? Can that be substantiated?

  I am certain they do personally but just wondering if there is any info on that.

  James 3:17 & the hypocrisy of the GBoJW / WTBTS

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  james 3:17 - but the wisdom from above is first of all chaste, then peaceable, reasonable, ready to obey, full of mercy and good fruits, not making partial distinctions, not hypocritical.

  A public speaker, yes public!, actually told my wife's cong. "When the Society says 'jump' you don't argue,you just say'how high?"

  I've heard the same thing in years past.

  I've heard another say "obedience is the most important thing".

  Someone should tell Putin not to ban them, just remove any tax exemption from them.

  That would achieve his goal much more effectively.

  My thoughts exactly!
