What is spirit, exactly?

by Viviane in

i've always wondered that.

recently i asked that question on another thread and didn't really get ananswer.

cofty made an excellent point that we often hear what it isn't, but that really isn't useful.. so, what is it?

How Many Had Chronic fatigue syndrome?

by OnTheWayOut in

chronic fatigue syndrome refers to severe, continued tiredness that is not relieved by rest and is not directly caused by other medical conditions.. did you have many congregation members, particularly pioneers, that said they had " chronic fatigue syndrome" ?.

that's their "get-out-of-jail-free card.

" they were free to cancel anything at anytime and it was their legitimate reason for not doing anything that didn't involve field recruiting.

SPIRIT to a human body is simply the air we breath, as gas (petroleum) is to an engine.

Cut of the supply to either and the consequences are obvious.

Its the efficacy of the oxygen on all our vital organs which stimulates our brains which seem to have the ability to conjure up the kind of woo woo non...sense which supernatural believers come up with.

In my humble opinion of course.

Any ideas for my return visit?

by KateWild in

i had a really fun day today.

i went to town on first call to witness to the jws on the trolley outside the main train station in the city.

i had prepared two different presentations depending on whether or not the jws knew me.. if they knew me i planned to tell them how unjust my last jc was and that i didn't believe jehovah cared about me or anyone, and if they didin't know me i would just question them about their disfellowshipping policy.

Yes kate your correct of course. What I meant by ' lovely people' was really in the context of the individual I was speaking to who found it so easy to dismiss me so readily.

It was obvious that he didn't see me as worthy of further conversation.

Trinitarians! Who is Jesus Christ's father the Holy Spirit or the Father?

by booker-t in

this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

the bible is very clear when the angel tells mary that holy spirit will overshadow her and she will become pregnant.

the angel does not say the father will overshadow her but the holy spirit will and if the holy spirit is a person that would make him the father of jesus.
