Ah, give the poor guy a break. I mean, what with him being our fodder in da woid and all that jazz. Heck, he even knew how to make snow explode 'cause Gawd talked to him like eatin' cookies out of the cookie jar.... er sumptin.
Dr. W. wasn't the first of his kind and he won't be the last (contrary to what any wierwilleites say...) to go against the grain, but he's in good company.
The apostles, Luther, Bullinger, and the countless others that aren't so famous are right there with him.
(fun side not by the way, the majority of our constitutionalist founding fathers were NOT trinitarian)
Putting VPW with the apostles is almost on the line of blasphemy...
Blasphemy, could be.
Who is putting VPW up there with the apostles?
I don't think VPW ever actually called himself that (others may know differently) - he styled himself "The Teacher." Although he also did say an apostle is one who brings new light AND he said he was going to teach the word like it hadn't been known since the first century (concerning which, he had no interest in ancient texts which are considered to date back to that very period).

VPW did nothing like Luther (snip)
vpw wasn't the first of his kind and isn't the last, either- to go against the grain, but he's in
good company.
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, David Koresh, and the countless others that aren't so famous are right there with him.
All of them told people they'd lead them to a closer knowledge of God-
then used the people as merchandise, still telling them they were the
conduit of The True God.
Charlatans and fakes have been around for centuries, and will continue until Jesus Christ himself

well, the trinity or no trinity has nothing to do with sexual assault, wouldn't you agree?

I would agree... sexual assaults and the like....
I just see more and more they view that man as God... He can do no wrong.

People are always trying to compare him to David or Paul or Moses or.... whatever.
Me...I like to think he was much more like Pee Wee Herman (obsessed with owning the coolest "bike" on the block)
Ha! I meant to do that!

deals with them face-to-face.
