Thank you Jehovah for answered prayers (page 12)

This thread should be re-titled "How to Disparage Someone and Their Beliefs in a Time of Relief from Anxiety - 101"
Can't ya give it a rest for even a moment, and accept that she got lucky and is relieved? Having that heart-stopping moment of losing a wallet or purse is enough to drain the life out of you. The corresponiding jubilation at recovery is worth sharing, surely without castigation? It's not really a hard balance to strike...

A voice of reason as always Ross. Thanks.

I think one can be happy for someone without passing judgment on their religious beliefs. For all I know she might be right.

As for whether she is 'witnessing' to the evil, wicked apostates - maybe; probably, but so what? I don't have to buy into her belief system to listen to her anymore than I have to buy a product because I watch a commercial.

I'm glad things worked out for you Annie.

Well, look who just peeked over the log!

It's Big Tex! saying I think one can be happy for someone without passing judgment on their religious beliefs. For all I know she might be right.

So you are saying that big J, whilst pouring over his 'in' box of instant messages saw this plea from Annie who had left her purse containing the cash from her refund on a DVD player(?) setting in a shopping cart. Big J then kept an eye on the purse until she could get back and retrieve it. Possibly, some poor SOB may have seen the purse setting there unattended and Big J had to blind their brain for a split second, whatever, but HE made sure that purse was there. Considering the wear and tear on Annies nerves wouldn't it have been better if Big J had just sent her a little IM to the effect "are you forgetting anything?" just before she got in the car and drove away? etc etc etc etc etc etc etc

This kind of silly, "answered prayer" shite makes my ass want a dip of snuff. And If somebody gets their feelings hurt because I don't take it seriously then call the cops and have me arrested. Otherwise, Futt the shuck up.

No. I'm not.

If you will look at Annie's post history you'll see that she is glad to have found a bunch of people who will accept her as she is and not give her the flak the Witnesses have. Please don't disabuse that notion by jumping on her for attributing the return of her purse to the power of prayer, just because you don't believe it's true. She's not trying to convert anyone, just share a story that she thinks is worth telling.

Welcome, Annie, and I hope you'll stay a while! I would very much like to hear your story, when you're ready to tell it.

OK, good.

What-A-Coincidence

Jehobee only answers prayers relating to the Kingdom Interests.

This bring to mind a talk in Bethel. Basically the speaker said we should not pray "if Jehovah wills" with regards to personal situations cause then if something does not happen then we blame Jehobee."

Besides that - Glad you found your valuables.

I kept going to the front page, and I said to myself (Self) they didn't like your post and they didn't post it <grin> But finally I remembered that I had to go to the member directory. Guys, I am so tried from sitting at a puter all day then comming in here and trying to read all these answers from so many wonderful people. Anyhoo, I have some things to tell ya and I'll probably start tomorrow.

I love you all, Have a wonderful night.
