  How do I hear/feel God?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.

  i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

  Do you miss the sense of security the organisation gives you?

  by Mr Facts in

  2. experiences

  i am sure most of you miss the sense of security regarding the future that the organisation offers- the certainty of everlasting life in the paradise earth, being healed and the confidence that you will definitely see your loved ones again if you remained faithful.

  but why did you pursue a course of life that had suddenly turned everything into a fable?.

  i have pity for you all.. .

  You lie. You weep for nobody as your glazed eyes sweep the terrain you fear to tread from your ivory tower.

  so i was looking back at my (rather short) life thusfar.

  usually people will talk about their glory days.

  usually it is high school or college.

  How many ex-jws poster here now believe in Hellfire, immortality of soul, trinity, etc;

  by booker-t in

  2. friends

  i am just curious about this because although i agree with many of the posters here that the wt society is guilty of many horrible deeds, i still believe they are right when it comes to doctrinal things as i mention.

  especially hellfire.

  i just don't see how anybody that has studied the bible for many years like many of the ex-jws here can make an about face and go back to believing hellfire.

  OP

  This is all a dream. Everthing you think you know may be incorrect. You may then realize that this never changes

  Then again maybe not.

  As for immortality, everything that has a beginning has an end.

  ok, today i was invited to go my favorite local radio station (94.7 sacramento) and record some stuff about my favorite playlist.

  i had submitted this list about a month ago and got the call on monday to come on down to the radio station.

  i took my hubby, got to meet the dj (a very cool and nice guy indeed) and just had a very nice time.

  "i saw the jovies in the street....haha".

  This was my 'Sign'

  by MsGrowingGirl20 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my previous post i mentioned that i'm staying in the org because i think i got a sign from god...some of you asked a lot of questions about my sign and even shared the society's view on asking for signs which i didn't know.. i didn't disclose exactly what the sign was.. some of you asked me what it was and even stated that i know that you all would pick apart and prove that my sign was just a frivolous excuse to hold on to the org.. maybe you were right.. so i've decided to tell you all exactly what it was---no embellishments or exaggerations.

  i would love to hear your opinions since i'm still in a terrible mess.sometimes i'm 100% this is not the truth then other times i'm 60%....i feel if god was giving me a sign i'd be 100% this is the truth you know?.

  so i woke up that morning and organized to go meeting.

  Coincidence. You're counting one hit. How many questions have had misses i.e. no "answer"?

  Would you base your life's direction on one affirmative instance of good timing, ignoring everything else?

  People have doubts all the time. Church instills faith, hope and allays doubt. You chose to go to church. The conclusion is self evident, ;)

  Which philosophy would you personally value the highest and why?

  by Qcmbr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  thinking about the number of atheist v ag/tec/fhn/sab threads (hehe - i'm only yanking your chains!

  ) and i thought i should make an effort to look at and discuss the rest of the rainbow.

  atheism does not define my influencing primary worldview though you'd be hard pressed to see that from my posts.. i'd be interested in what philosphy , idea, rule(s) most influence you and why - why do you feel they are superior, what do they make you value more or less , what would you be without your philosophy.

  Middle way from buddhism in the daily life. Nihilism in deep thoughts.

  Optics are expensive. I deal with lensing for projectors/video cameras and the costs can be huge, especially for specialty glass. However you're dealing with a precision instrument with fine tolerances, so yea...

  Not a shooter of stills but I do enjoy good composition in a shot. There's definitely an art to it.
