  Scientific basis for the belief that prayer helps!

  by exWTslave in

  dear reader,millions of americans believe prayer works.

  yet the mainstream media tends to avoid the subject altogether.but our mind health report team at newsmax health wanted answers to questions like these:can modern science explain prayer?does praying strengthen your brain and prevent mental decline?what benefits, if any, does prayer offer you physically, mentally, and emotionally?to this end, the team went out to the scientific and medical community to learn the potential benefits of prayer and what they found both surprised and excited all of us here at the mind health report.the results were so startling, in fact, we created a free video presentation to share with you exactly what we discovered.when you watch this free video, youll discover how prayer actually changes four distinct areas of your brain.

  in fact, youll see exactly how prayer or other spiritual practices increase activity in the areas of your brain that are most helpful to you, and diminish activity in areas that are less helpful or even harmful.youll also see:how a specific amount of prayer time per day can help prevent memory loss, mental decline, and even dementia or alzheimers .

  The act of prayer just serves to help people stop, relax, get their thoughts together, and calmly move on.....

  Hey here is a challenge for ya:

  When they analyse the artist picture of the Egyptians getting drowned, see if you can answer and say how "wonderful it makes you feel to see how god will kill everyone" in order to save " the few righteous" .... Yep, highlight the 'us and them mentality', then ask, " but I thought we went witnessing in order to show how much we love our neighbours?"

  "challenge accepted".......

  Book study is the first 30 min part in the mid week meeting, then the bible highlights, ministry school talks, then song, then service meeting....

  My first post: Pet Peeves from my JW past

  by BarHarborBarbara in

  first post here: longtime lurker but hesitant to take the leap.

  my story is pretty much like everyone elses with little variance, but i thought id add a few details that especially tormented me when i was in.

  im sure these are familiar, im afraid this is a bit of a rant.. --paradise: the constant chatter about a perfect world when most in the hall were not even slightly interested in taking care of the earth now.

  Its the "draw close to jehovah" book.

  The chapter on "gods destructive power"... all about how its "loving" for god to actually kill people!

  Any Suggestions on what to say if elders ask why you stopped going in FS?

  by BU2B in

  i was curious what might be some good things to say if i am questioned by the elduurs about my decline in fs.

  anything too honest may get me a jc (although that would be for the best in the end..) the co visit is this week so they may be getting more agressive than usual.

  Two points:

  1) "do not let your right hand know what your left is doing" matt 6:3

  2) "not standing on street corners" to make a show.... Matt 6:5

  in fact just use matt 6 to show that your "service or ministry" doesn't need to be written down.... It is just part of your daily activity....
