  Have you ever had a prayer answered?

  by nicolaou in

  2. beliefs

  prayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!

  seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?

  what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?

  whereami --- what questions are avoided and who are you judging that acts like their former cult? i attended fewer meetings in couple of yrs. than the avg. bear attends in one month. judge not, and that's one thing the cult's members really did a lot of.

  i don't understand prayer myself (but hope it helps). i certainly don't think mankind has all the answers (YET) and hear this in circles of society that are very educated and enjoy success beyond. i have to admit i like to be delusional and think mankind has the potential to have all the answers. after all, we have been endowed w/the gift of incredible brains for a reason.

  apparently, they attempted one according to message left on phone as i was out shopping for the day. somehow, the loser PO was allowed into my gated community manned with security & gates and said on message that he was standing at my front door. i had no call from security on my caller ID for clearance but he probably got in thru one of the window washers/gardners who have access. i decided right then/there if they sneak thru the gate on my street and are standing on my property/doorstep (they do not have the right to do that on private property in here) THEN I'M CALLING SECURITY and having them removed/hauled away, whatever. i think he was calling from the security gate (altho security never attempted a call to me) and acting like he had access --- but i don't know for sure. he was known to be a habitual liar, anyway. FUNNY! those idiots are NOT ALLOWED IN MY HOME. even if i lived in ungated neighborhood i'd call the police --- and, of course, they're too busy to come but i'd file a report or contact lawyers.

  Wt Org Like an Animal Pack

  by Satanus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  observing how stranglers and those who get ahead of the wt org are left or get ostricised reminded me of similar dynamics in some animal societies, lions, for instance.

  lions and housecats are the only felines that form groups.

  pack members who get sick or injured and become unable to keep up w the pride are left behind.

  OUTLAW --- so sorry. they all should be held accountable and stoned to death for this type of abuse --- the religion for teaching/encouraging this brutality and the perps (parents). there should be class-action lawsuits on behalf of you children --- read earlier on a post today her evil mother tried to break her toes --- ahhh, now that's Christ-like being a member of satan's religion. i hope children's protective groups in the various countries receive information of this evil religion/parents.

  children should not remain in the custody of breeders (or anyone) unless they're watched/psychiatrically assessed on a weekly basis to be worthy. put the taxes to a good use.

  i had no idea parents loved and were crazy about their kids until i was in a catholic social group (upper echelon of society) 30 yrs. ago. unreal --- what a contrast from these uneducated, loser, witness people. experienced same couple yrs. ago when around another catholic group. it's because the witnesses are the lower rung of uneducated, ANIMALISTIC, losers. i know child abuse hits all levels of society, but ESPECIALLY AMONG THIS GROUP OF SOCIETY, who are striving in a pecking order religion, unfortunately.

  Jesus' Message - by sabastious

  by sabastious in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  love could be considered the most powerful force on the planet.

  the jesus character within the bible seemed to know this truth intimately.

  he was born into one of the worst cases of government and religious oppression in human history.

  tec --- your humility about cleaning up your own messes (good advice for all of us --- i'm always reminding myself that God gave us brains and we are capable) really is the same responsibility we should accept in taking care of abused/starving mankind --- mankind's messes. i really need to apply more effort/work at helping others and appreciate your comment.

  whereami: i cannot understand children/animals being abused/starved/neglected and others having prayers and dreams come true --- but is this not mankind's fault because of their evil and selfishness and not taking care of and providing for the less fortunate. experiences w/mankind indicate people are so self-absorbed making a life for themself (which can be challenging), but it seems w/mankind enough is never enough (materialistically). think you are right --- but if we really followed Christ and loved our neighbor as we love ourselves --- would this evil not be eradicated. obviously, people have free will and would rather abuse/neglect children but are we incapable of caring/protecting even children. if there's a God, it would seem to me he expects us to love/care for our neighbor. it's very disheartening to me and i realize there are individuals who devote their life to caring for their neighbor --- but obviously not enough.

  Ya ever struggle with feelings of hatred or negative views of others? Misanthropy?

  by miseryloveselders in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  somedays i've got a monster within my blood, and every so often i'd love to just give into it.

  throwing the jw factor aside, i genuinely believe that having and demostrating love for others is an honorable way to live.

  however, and there's always a however with everything in life, but i struggle sometimes trying to be consistent with love.

  MLE --- I understand and it's so difficult dealing w/ingrates and mean people. i try so hard to tell myself how much they're hurting (IF NOT PHYSICALLY, then EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, i rationalize their EVIL) and try to kill em w/kindness and sometimes would rather shoot myself. everytime i show up, i tell myself, never again. sometimes waiting on older ladies (volunteer-club) is more than i can deal with. they feel they're important, ANGRY AT THE WORLD in general, facing their own illnesses/death and have no manners w/ordering others around to feel self-important/powerful --- STUPID ANIMALS! there are some kind, well-mannered ones.

  while watching this series on leaving your religion i couldn't help but see the similarities with my own experience.. it's a bit long (13 parts), but well worth it.

  i hope you all enjoy.

  believers and non-believers alike.. .

  ziddina -- great to see ya back but confused as to kiddies having freedom of religion from their parents. do you mean regulating these people. i think the majority of american children leave their parental, hand-me-down religion, for one of their choice.

  "The largest factor for people being involved in religion is their parents...." Sad, indeed.
