I accept that God is the Holy Spirit, God is the Father and God is Jesus, but I don't know about accepting the Trinity doctrine, as there are more specifics in there that I am not so sure about.

Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, he beginning and the end.” 16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches.
Revelation 1:5-17 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man,
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
Revelation 4:2 At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.
And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, and day and night they never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!”
9 And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
Be strong in the Grace that is in Christ Jesus,

About Jesus as God: Please look at these scriptures. Start here. Don't worry about the rest, okay?
whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
In order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father.*
*1 John 2:23;John 5:23The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me? Isaiah 44:24
But of the Son he says: You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands. Hebrews 1:10
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.
23 By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Isaiah 45:22,23
10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:10;11
Also see Isaiah 40:10 and Revelation 1:8 compare with Revelation 22:12,13. Isaiah 43:10,11 compare to Revelation 7:10
Also see what Christians in the Bible had to say to Jesus: Acts 7:59; Revelation 22:20; John 20:28
Another thing that really helped me was researching the Living Water that Jesus spoke of to the Samaritan woman in John 4 and John 7:37. What did they need to do to receive the Spirit?

What's The Biggest Difference In Today's JWs And The Witnesses From Decades Ago?
by minimus ini believe today's witnesses lack zeal, resolve, "love" of the "truth"......just to name a few things.. years ago, witnesses were excited to knock on doors and tell people they were gonna die if they didn't accept paradise.. now, when you see jws in service, they all look zombied out.. it's a slowly dying religion that will last probably forever like an ancient rotted out tree..

Lesbian protest kiss at convention during CO's talk... taking it too far?
by Joliette ini had the funniest thought at work...what if me and three apostate friends protest at a convention, and right before the song during a c.o's talk, we got up, and pretended like we were gonna do a normal sister embrace, and then, out of no where, me and the other 'sister' do would a long lesbian kiss while the c.o.
is giving a talk on fornication....what do you guys think the audience would do?.

I think that they were pretty much wrong on everything...
but regarding heaven, hell and God's purpose for the earth, most Christians have that wrong too, so it makes them seem believable.
Luke chapter 12. 1 John 2:29, Psalm 37:29. Revelation chapter 21.

Do you hate God
by Star tiger ini beginning to think that this would be a good way of thinking, a totally righteous being would not let all the shit that is happenning to people prevail, this being cannot have the best interests of man as his first priority, it's all about ego and no matter how the human familty suffers, he hates pretty much everyone, as the tv show says, your fired, let's get a better god, one who at least gives everyone a chance!!.
i welcome comments from god apologists, to at least have an argument as to why they put they're faith in someone that does'nt give a shit about them!.

other than to give them yet another "nail" to drive into the apostate "coffin" ("SEE??!!! We TOLD you they were depraved!! Now, you've seen it for yourselves!!")?
So, help me understand, please: what, again, would you actually be hoping to accomplish?
I agree, SA. One thing I was thinking was maybe it would be a show of support for the homosexuals still trapped in the org and hating themselves?

Ha! Turn it around on them. I love it!
If they ask you to leave, you could say something like, "If you don't stop harrassing us because of our sexual preference, we will call the police."
