Any Brooklyn Bethelites from '93 - '98?
by back2dafront ini guess i should introduce myself for i am a new poster-boy :-) my name is jason howard and i currently reside in santa cruz, california.
i spent the first 24 years of my life as a jw, starting in danbury, ct, then to fayetteville & charlotte, nc, and finally brooklyn, bethel, where finally all of my negative inner thoughts and feelings were confirmed.
(from the ages of 14-24 i always felt something just didn't add up with the organization, but i could never quite put a finger on it) i spent my career at bethel in the brooklyn warehouse/purchasing departments and worked with some really great individuals.

The Trinity
by meadow77 intop reasons the wts is lying about the trinity.
their translation of john 1:1 is not only a complete farce but falls apart upon closer examination of their own beliefs.
the insertion of the phrase a god, instead of god is just a clear misinterpretation.

Ozzie-I do get your drift
But lest you wonder if I am always so serious and unyielding, I do have a lighter side. You should check out my thread called Grandmas Letter. I found it funny anyway, and isn't half the funny laughing at your own jokes?

Why was Jesus crucified?
What were the Jews laws for putting someone to death according to your studies?
O.k. I lied, two questons

Again you didn't really deal with what I was saying about a man and his wife becoming one. Many people who claim the trinity does not exist, say that there is no way that both Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit could be one because
who did Jesus pray to?
Who ran heaven while Jesus was being crucified
and questions of the like. What I was attempting to show is that clearly God knows that seperate entities can be of one soul.Just as a man and a women, when they become one are still seperate people, however spiritually they are one. What I was trying to show is that in the same way God can be three seperate entities and still be one spiritually. and why do you not remember God referring to himself as I Am to Moses. Please tell me if you still do not think this ever took place and I will locate the passage for you

Herk- you seem to be under the false impression that I don't read my bible and recieve instruction from the holy spirit. Second I am a big girl and wrote this whole thread on my own, except for the Explanation of the greek-which I explained I was copying. I understand it must be strange for some to understand and accept the trinity. You seem to think that it is impossible that one God could have three parts, because it's among other things you claim, not scientific? As christians we believe far stranger things than three persons in one God. Jesus walked on water, raised the dead, and turned water into wine. Many of these things would be considered "unscientific"
I guess there really can be no end to this debate, we could certainly go on if you wish, but It seems neverending. I guess to me the scriptures are clear. I believe the scriptures support trinitarianism. If you don't that is certainly your right. You seem to be passing all my arguments off without even truly addressing them. I don't mean to get into an argument, but what is your comment about when you ask me if I even understand what he is saying by being the first and the last? Of course I know what he's saying. The Alpha and the Omega is the first and the last. That is what God (Jehovah)says he is and then that is what Jesus says he is.Instead of trying to tell me I don't know what I'mtalking about, I think we should address directly what is being discussed.How can there be 2 Alphas and Omegas? I feel you have responded this way to many of my arguments. Maybe there can be conclusion to this argument.

T he other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a honk if you love Jesus bumper sticker.
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting, so I bought the sticker and put in on my bumper.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is and I didn't notice that the light had changed.
I t is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that LOTS of people love Jesus. Why, while I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and when he leaned out of his window and screamed, "for the love of God, GO! GO!" What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus.
E veryone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love. There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a sunny beach... I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. When I asked my teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
W ell, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back.
M y grandson burst out laughing, why even he was enjoying this religious experience.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed.
S o, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.
I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that I had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of
the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.
P raise the Lord for such wonderful folks!
