I have never run across any religion that did not believe in the power of prayer, which means that enough wishes are granted to everyone to keep it possible while most prayers fall into the god said NO or WAIT catagories.
Nicely put.

Atheists, Agnostics: Do you still pray?
by Eh infor people who left, not only the organization, but also the canaanite/judaic/christian/islamic/bahai god, do you still pray?
before we left the group we (my wife and i) were questioning the bible and the existence of god.
being witnesses, we were uneducated and never heard of things like pascal's wager, but we (my wife especially) had come to a similar idea - even if the whole thing were ballocks, there was little harm in continuing.

I was trying to convey that we agree. Sorry, I don't always write well when I'm rushed (sneaking, really).

Awakened--that was my point. Take away Adam's "perfection" and you take away all that appears to be pouring off that umbrella.

Well, that was not something I'd learned in ANY church. I didn't hear of it till they drilled it in me. I was always taught he and Eve were the FIRST humans.
If you take away Adam and their whole perfection theory, then that leaves the entire after-stories hanging out to dry-like "paradise", the origins of sickness, death and submission of women to a
perfectman. -

Why don't Witnesses indentify themselves at the door when in service?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy 17 year old daughter told me 2 men were at the door saturday looking for adults that lived in the house.my wife and i were out of town for 2 days.they had suits on and carrying book bags.
they asked if she was over 18. she replied that she wasn't.
they left without indentifiying themselves.

They may have been the more standoffish Mormons who go d2d.
Aside from that, maybe she should simply say, "They can't come to the door right now," rather then letting two weirdos know she was home alone.

WHO WAS THIS POSTER? Help please!
by Open mind inwhen i stumble across someone's long life story or a really good sounding long thread, i often cut and paste it into my nerdy little pda for later reading at the kingdom hell.. well, i did that for a life story from a poster who signed off as "dave" but i blew it and didn't get his username or the url for the thread.
his life story in a nutshell centered around a 2 week trip he made to bethell to work as a consultant for the art/graphics department back in the 80's.
it really woke him up and he subsequently left the dubs.
