  Do You Think The Bible Teaches A Trinity As Religions Teach?

  by minimus in

  i’m not asking whether you believe in the bible.

  i just want your opinion as to whether you think the bible teaches it.

  i don’t, for what it’s worth..

  The trinity is like the Star Wars movies. In Star Wars and the Empire strikes back you think Darth Vader is the baddest dude in the Galaxy . Its not till Return of the Jedi you realize it was the Emperor.

  The new testament is the slow realization that Jesus was that second touchable, seeable manifestion of god in the old testament. Its not a simple concept and you have a to have an understanding of the entire bible as a whole, not just selectively reading verses, to really see it.

  I have found it to be a real waste of time trying to explain it here.

  Are You Horrifed if Someone Goes Into a “Massage Parlor”?

  by minimus in

  yesterday, robert kraft, the owner of the new england patriots, got busted for getting a massage and more.

  they say there is another more high profile person who also got busted.. does this stuff upset you that some men have gone into a massage parlor for possibly more than a massage?

  ?.

  I am much too cheap to pay someone to tug me out.

  Heck I can do it for free.

  Babies Who Are Not Dead From An Abortion

  by minimus in

  a woman gets an abortion.

  the baby is supposed to die because of the abortion but doesn’t.

  should that living baby be put to death or should the baby be given medical help to survive?.

  Liberal arguments against the pro life types on late term abortions.

  1. Republicans don't care once the baby is born and the mother. And I am like yes they do a poor job. We need to do better.

  2. Late term abortions for elective reasons are rare. And I am like I hope so but it doesn't change the fact it happens and is terribly ghoulish. The fact it is rare doesn't mean it shouldn't be illegal.

  Was Russell "that" Faithful and Wise Servant?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "from this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of zion's watch tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant.

  " he never did claim to be such," ("god's kingdom of a thousand years has approached," 1973, p. 346).. or this?.

  "thousands of the readers of pastor russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season.

  The parable of the faithful slave is just a moral lesson about living a moral life because no one knows when Jesus will return. There are both risks and rewards to not obeying god.

  That's it.

  no ctr, no earthly hopers and heavenly hopers, no annoited class. nada, nothing

  Has anyone ever ran into a pro choice JW? I have before.

  It's not that they were for abortion but just the idea of the government telling me what I can do with my body.

  Then it was.....oh blood transfusions.

  It weird how the JW legal department uses roe vs wade in the complexities of pregnant JW women.

  I don't consider myself a hardcore conservative and i do understand there are desperate women in desperste situations but FFS some of these laws the democrats are trying to pass are just ghoulish.

  Do people not understand or are they really that morally rotted.

  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  I hope you saw how it really just teaches the unique legalisms and dogmas of the WTS with a sprinkling of bible verses with no real understanding of the bible narrative.

  Nothing you learned would be comparable to a bible school or theological collage.

  I hope Trump makes this an election issue. I don't think abortion is a black and white issue but anyone who voted against this needs to he called out.

  I think polls have determined the vast vast majority of the American public regardless of political leaning are against this evil.

  For a religion based on a giant circle jerk about the deaths of 7 billion odd people and can't go three sentences without slandering another Christian denomination , I say let the cheap shots fly.

  Has there ever been a write up about Christians being killed by Islamic militants in Iraq, Nigeria etc etc in a watchtower.

  These jws need to go to place to learn how to pay attention. maybe some kind of camp.

  You would think the real torture is just attending the meeting.
