Ever notice how some brothers would always open their prayers the exact same way? Like we've got one MS who always starts "Father Jehovah". His son, an elder, does the same.
We had one oddball who would always start out "Awesome Benevolent Supreme Soverign" - he doesn't get assigned to pray anymore.
There was one Bro. that used to repeat 'Father. Dear Father.' ad infinitum. I hadn't a clue what his prayers were about just 'Father. Dear Father'.
I read yesterday that the new Pope Francis said he falls asleep when he prays before he hits the sack-
-I fell asleep in the middle of my prayer last night --happens to me a lot.
I used to fall asleep during meetings--but the worst were assemblies. Who didn't have trouble with that--especially in the afternoon after lunch. Snoorrrrrre....................
Towards the end of my dubby days, I used to fall asleep in the car at DC's
This would always happen to me as well. Also when reading the Bible reading
cantleave - I caught up on loads of sleep at a$$emb£ies.
BU2B - As Rush sang: 'You won't get wise with the sleep still in your eyes no matter what your dream may be.' Except sleeping at a$$emblies is a wise move.
Sometimes I'd doze off...then feel bad.
I used to daydream or fidget during prayer at meeting and felt bad, but they were just do damn boring!
A friend of mine, a convert who came in at the same age I did, was nervous because he had to give prayer one meeting. He was telling me about it so I said, "Just say this: Thank Jehovah for the meeting, pray the brothers get home safely, and pray for the ones who couldn't come. " That's the usual format here, and he did it, and his prayer was flawless.
If it was a brother that I thought was an idiot I wouldn't say 'amen'.
I've even dozed off whilst I was praying. Woke up. Said sorry to invisible imaginary sky twat Jar Hoover then carried on boring him with my grovelling.
I prayed myself to sleep practically every night. When we were made to feel guilty about it, I just started doing my prayers back to front beginning with 'in Jesus name'...
Love all the comments. They are hilarious!
Since I never made a good night prayer, this never happened to me. My ex, suggested to me that this has happened to her.
