Noone said anything about a trinity. You don't have to have a trinity if Jesus is God. - Sirona
That's like asking people to explain what genitals are, without using the word "sex" or "reproduction".

Nope. It is entirely possible for someone to believe that Jesus = God without believing in a trinity at all. Even the phrase "father, son and holy spirit" needn't mean a trinity since these three are not referred to as equal, from what I remember.

In fact, there is a good argument for this triune idea having stemmed from earlier religions / cultures. Osiris (Father), Horus (Son) and Isis (Holy Spirit). Hence we have Mary as part of the mix in Catholicism (a feminine counterpart).

If I were you, I wouldn't work there until he is detained.

Your employer should provide somewhere else for you to do this work. Why can't you take the computer from work home with you?

Is keeping this job really necessary?

since i've become more empowered in my fade.....i've been realizing satan is just a huge guilt tool used by religion in general.

Has anyone ever played with a ouija board?

by delilah in

this past weekend, we met a new couple in our campground, and the conversation soon came 'round to the supernatural.

the lady said she has had quite a few supernatural experiences, and that she plays her own home-made version of the ouija board.

my husband was all excited and begged her to play .

Sirona

Interesting thread!

As many of you know, I believe that spirits of the dead exist and can interact with us.

I also believe that some divination tools actually work.

I see ouija as another form of divination in some respects. It *is* to do with our subconscious yet I think we can also open communications - sometimes. I think this is why there are issues when someone is blindfolded. Just like using a Crystal Ball, it wouldn't do to be blindfolded LOL, but that doesn't mean that one cannot get good insights from a Crystal Ball. See my point?

Those who have a problem with them should learn how to protect oneself spiritually before using the ouija board.

Gary and I have recently joined a paranormal investigation group and surprisingly enough tomorrow night is all about Ouija boards.

Present

by Kant846 in

i have a jehovah witness coworker who is out sick for a couple of weeks.

we ( a group of coworkers) are planning on sending her a get well soon card and present (teddy bear).

will this be disrespecting her as a jehovah's witness and her religous beliefs.. thank you for your quick response.

Sirona

Hi

No it will not be disrespecting her beleifs.

The only gifts JWs object to are those which are associated with religious holidays, or birthdays.

A get well gift is OK.

Sirona

PS, you might want to give her a link to this site one day....it might help her break free from the cult she is part of
