  i prayed and prayed about it.

  i figured my prayers weren't going to be answered because jehovah doesn't hear your prayers if you aren't a witness.

  i prayed for the witneses to come but they never did.

  Thank you all for your replies.

  Elsewhere.. point taken!

  I think it's safe to say that some believe that their prayers are heard while others see prayer more as a meditation, without expecting an answer. When I was about 9 years old, I asked one of the nuns in school about prayer. What if I want to go swimming tomorrow, and I pray for good weather, while my neighbor who is a farmer prays for rain tomorrow, because the land is dry, who will God listen to? It was a simple question from a 9 year old. The nun told me that God doesn't have time to listen to all our prayers, but when we pray our faith grows stronger and that's why we should pray anyway.

  I've basically been told by JW's that it depends on what we pray for. It also depends on the efforts we make to please Jehovah. One JW told me once that God would not listen to someone who is a smoker because sinning is like building a wall between yourself and God.

  What else can I say, other than I have been emotionally tired, and perhaps should give things a rest. There is always tomorrow and hopefully the next day.

  Thanks for the replies.

  (cindykp) I prayed to jehovah, the next day the witnesses knocked on my front door. When they left, my son went outside through the back door, and brought in a pamphlet from the mormans. Neither one ever comes here.

  Haha, that is hilarious. I bet you felt double blessed (or double cursed).

  Is it really so important in the grand scheme of things to know the exact truth and every answer while we live down here?

  Actually, it is (or was) to me. But when I look back, I realize that I have spent more than half of my life searching for 'the truth'. Now I'm thinking, if I haven't found it by now, then I'm not going to find it. God looks inside our hearts. Should I die tomorrow, without being a JW and without belonging to any church at all, God WILL know that I searched until I became too disappointed to keep searching.
