Trinitarians, Did Jesus reveal himself as God?
by ClassAvenger in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i'm a person that believes in the trinity, but i have a question.

i know jesus didn't reveal to all the people to whom he preached as god himself, and it was not something that he directly taught (or at least i think he didn't), but i know from what i've read that the disciples knew and taught it.

my question is, did jesus tell them, or did they have this revealed when they were anointed by the holy spirit?

Biblical references ?
by KGB in
1. watchtower
2. bible
i have noticed that a lot of you here quote references of history from scripture, so my question is this.

if you say that the bible is not the true word of god then how can it even be a true word of history.

Physical and/or Spiritual
by Inkie in
1. watchtower
2. bible
no doubt all (with few and rare exceptions) believe that the physical world exists.

however, what i should like to know is, how many here believe that a spiritual world exists?

and, if you believe that a spiritual world exists, do you believe that the two worlds (or universes, call it what you like) each exist separately and distinct one from the other?

and i feel sad.

everything happened so fast, 1999 back from patterson, 2000 inactive and no longer an elder, 2001 smoking everything that planet earth offers, and now in love with a girl for a couple of months.

1. jw
2. experiences
...that left me feeling, well, wierd.

it happened about 8:30 this morning, which is pretty early for me since i don't usually go to bed before 3-4am and never wake up before 11am.

i was cruising along the only coastline in florida that has bluffs, it's called "scenic highway" in pensacola, fl.

Why do you think......
by copsec in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so many people who come out of the borg are so depressed and angry and freaked out?????

i have been out for 7 years now and i am happier than i have ever been in my life and was from the very first moment i left!

the only reason i even go into ex-jw groups is i like to make fun of them and other exs are the only ones who understand what i am talking about when i make a funny comment??

Greeting Cards - Seasons Greetings
by akenglund in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know that public organizations such as businesses should be respectful of religions and most don't send out cards stating "merry christmas".

how about "season's greetings"?

if you interpret it as the winter season (skating, snowmen, etc..) should that be considered offensive.
