When you were a dub.....did you ever fall asleep when you prayed in bed?

it always bothered me that i couldn't even stay awake to thank my god.
i found out later many did the same.

I did this ALLLLL THE TIME! But I never felt guilty. (I later found out that I have sleep apnea and without treatment, falling asleep at the drop of a hat is pretty common with this condition.) I did applogize to God for falling asleep, but I was never scared he would "smite" me or something. I think my view of Jehovah was a bit different than the one that the rest of the congregation had. I was never scared of Him. He knew what was going on in my life to make me so sleepy. So, if I fell asleep during a prayer, I'd just finish it the next morning, and insert my apology at the end of that prayer.

America: North America - The Difference: BRITS READ UP!
by RAYZORBLADE inwelcome to the continent of north america.. within this continent, which includes also the carribbean islands, and central america, it's not one (1) country, but a collection of different countries.. i have noticed, quite a bit actually, with our friends from across the pond (atlantic ocean), especially those that reside in great britain/united kingdom, yes even the republic of ireland, of their generalities with regards to the term: america.. heaven forbid, i would guess if you lumped all brits in with europe/europeans.
wrong.. my experience has been that, most brits consider anything over this way.....the other side of the atlantic as: america.
thus to other nationalities within north america: that means: the u.s.a.. to a north american: when you say "america" it means: the united states of america.

Laying the sarcasm down, CountryGuy backs away from the "Makeing Fun of Canadian Accents" Bar.
"I'll come back soon!" he shouts. "And when I do, your fancy "u's" in COLOUR and FAVOURITE will be sorry! Darn that Aztec! I never saw her coming!"
(Just kidding to all my Canadian friends! You know I love ya more'n my luggage!)

Being from Arkansas, I'm not going to dwell on accents and how people talk. But I have to ask:
What's up with Canadians saying "aboot" when they really mean "about?"
Just wondering, that's all.

If You Were God, How Would You Feel About Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Englishman inif i was god, i'd be pretty pissed off with jw's.
they must surely be the most appalling publicity agents on the face of the earth!
according to them, god is someone who is obsessed with what we do with our genitalia.

I'm sure I'd fell about them like I do now:
Most of the rank and file JWs are sincere and are doing the abosolute best they can. Those are the people that I feel sorry for. As God, I would do something to make their life better. Not sure what though.
For those haughty and "puffed up with pride" elders and gb members, I'd create a hell and send them there. But just for the tour. I'm not mean. If after that experience, they didn't change their ways, I'd kick their butt up between their shoulder blades.

Would your faith be challenged if....................................
by gumby inthey find life on mars?.
as most of us know....they are expecting communication from the spacecrafts they have sent to the red planet.
they are searching for water, organic matter, and signs of life.. how would your understanding of things change......if at all........if they find life there?.

Would my faith be challenged by finding "little green men" on Mars? No, not really. To be honest, my faith was challenged by small minded men on Earth a long time ago!
I remember my grandfather (who was a JW) saying that all the Bible tells us is that Jehovah gave the Earth to man. Who's to say the didn't give Mars to the Martians?
