    It won't be your opinion or mine that matters when legalities are involved. (it is Copyright Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania). If you use it appropriately, there is no issue, but posting it as though it is your work is not right.

    Considering the fact that we readily (and daily) share this same information publicly in our earth-wide preaching work, there's no worry about legalities.

    Does ethics play any part in your preaching work?

    In any case, I think that we have established that your responses are not your answers, but are copied and pasted from a copyrighted source and that was the key point that I thought was important.

    Considering I'm a lifelong member of the religious faith of which the information came from, your ethics dig is irrelevant.

    Also, what's been established is that my responses are the answers of the religious faith to which I belong... and as such my personal answers would always echo those. That's the key point I believe is important.

    I think that there is a ethical point when copying and pasting from copyrighted material. But if you don't, then you've answered my question.

    Which is, yet again, a matter of opinion.

    The Bible does speak of the three in one concept although the word trinity is not used.I think that JWs have their promblems with the term trinity because of its origin seeing that this concept was officially introduced at the council of nicea.But the idea of the trinity is in the bible and was an accepted belief among the apostles so the fact that the Roman Catholic church decided to make it official at a meeting doesn't say that they created the concept but they simply accepted and made it one of their beliefs.

    The main problem with the "trinity" is that it is NOT a Biblical teaching. There is no scriptural support for it whatsoever. It is a false, blasphemous, god-dishonoring teaching of men that muddles what the Bible has already made clear: that God is ONE God, and that Jesus is the first of God's creations. The apostles never believed in the nonsense of the "trinity", they fully knew Jesus to be the Son of God, and not Almighty God himself.
