    My mother on several occasions claimed to speak for the Almighty, accompanied by "The Look," and I didn't dispute it. Didn't hear the Almighty dispute it either, so I figured he was scared of her too.

    I have had several cases of mother's intuition. Does that count as God talking to me? This intuitive knowing started right after I had my boy. Also, after I had him, I started praying more for guidance. There were things that I just "knew" about my son. It helped to make it easier to raise him-- until he got to be a teenager. Not that the "knowing" was incorrect. It remained accurate. It's just, well, you know what teenagers can be like.

    Yeah... he keeps telling me that I need to get a knife and cut a chunk of skin off my penis.

    He also told me that I need to kill everyone who doesn't do the same.

    Then why are we asked to petition Him if we aren't supposed to ask him for anything? I never knew what to ask. I felt like I was talking to a genie in a bottle.

    With what shall I confront Jehovah? [With what] shall I bow myself to God on high? Shall I confront him with whole burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, with tens of thousands of torrents of oil? Shall I give my firstborn son for my revolt, the fruitage of my belly for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O earthling man, what is good. And what is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God?
    Micah 6:6-8, NWT

    Now my question is, do "hours" and "placements" equal "rams" and "torrents of oil"?

    I forgot about this thread, very interesting responses! Yup, that was one big thing I recall as a kid as I prayed in my bed at night, nothing was ever answered!!!!

    In my opinion God has always answered my prayers and everything I have asked him for. Just by the fact of being alive I know he is answering me when I ask him to give me life in my prayers. Just a thought.
