  Why should God answer a prayer to get a job while atrocities happen everyday?

  by BU2B in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a conversation yesterday with my wife, who seems to think every good thing that happens to her just has to be jehovah, and every bad thing, she just knows is satan.

  this irritates me to no end.

  i told her yesterday that i have trouble praying to have relatively petty thing resolved in my life, meanwhile around the world, many people are raped mutilated, tortured, and killed everyday.

  Yeah, I loved Route 66 too, plus it had one of the best TV theme songs ever.

  Does anyone remember Sky King and Penny, Fury

  I sure do. I remember watching them on Saturday mornings. As for "silly" how about It's About Time? Through some sort of quirk a couple of astronauts travel back to prehistoric times. Later in the season they returned to modern times, but with some of the cavemen characters. I think it lasted only 1 season.

  So many of the shows mentioned here are on Me TV. Just a side note: Gomer Pyle USMC was the last TV program I watched as a civilian in 1970, just before boarding the bus at the Minneapolis MEPS (it was called something different back in 1970 but I can remember what) go to Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego.

  JW Grammar is...

  by jw07 in

  *we are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and i don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*.

  with that said here are my observations, and i want to know what you have observed.. in my experience i have noticed a trend: zealous witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-witnesses!.

  i want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.. on social networks: compare comments on anything by jws (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends.

  I saw this posted on Facebook a couple of weeks ago: Grammar is important. Capital letters are the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" & "helping your uncle jack off a horse."
