Times and Unforeseen Occurances
by purplesofa ini can barely remember the anguish i used to go through as a witness trying to figure out if i had jehovahs spirit with me, or if jehovah was allowing satan to test me or if things happened because of times and unforeseen occurances.. confusion.....anxiety i would pray, pray pray to jah for guidance.
anytime something good happened it was always jehovah watching out over me.. now, i was not born a witness...i became a witness, then i was df, reinstated, and now apostate.
and things have happened in my life pretty much the same in all circumstances.

After watching the video from Iwonder17 I would like to say to him/her.....If your child suddenly became very ill and was dying in your arms I would bet you would might not be down on your knees to a milk jug but you would be down on your knees to a higher power ...

Let's Hear it For Simon -Thanks For This Board - And All it Accomplishes
by flipper ini think it's only appropriate to put out a thread to thank simon for the great job he does in moderating this board, watching over discussions to make sure that the purpose of jwd discussion stays focused .
i believe that he and the mods do a great job in helping this board along in it's journey - and enables us to have the freedom of speech- without having fear of reprisal - as long as the guidelines are met.
so, i for one would like to personally thank you simon - for bringing this board into existence, as it has helped many to be able to vent after leaving the jehovah's witnesses cult, and get support, and for others it has helped them have a great place to discuss many important topics that have a heavy play in many of our lives !

Did/Does God answer your prayers?
by song19 inin my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.
i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.
terrible i know.

Yes, God has answered my prayers. He brought me out of the Watchtower when I prayed for direction. He wrapped me with love when I was beyond repair mentally. I think it is having faith that He will answer my prayers and accepting the times He doesn't that keeps me sane. I am grateful for this blessing.

Thinking of you.... I have also been there...done that... she is now 22..almost 23 and is starting to grow a brain.. It was very difficult. Put us through hell... They do not listen at that age.... we have nothing that will change them or put them on the right path.. dont give up on her...she will see what crap is out there and probably go through some of it herself.. but I know she will be back.... Just hang in there girl.. don't you dare guilt yourself about it.. my daughter had it made.. living her..but keep going off the deep end..making our lives miserable for two years........finally she is back to "normal" whatever that means... but she is a responsible human being, getting an education,, working a good summer job.. paying her own way.. so just be good to yourself..cause stress will kill ya... I could write a book but I just want to say things will be ok......give the other little one lots of attention and affection while you are waiting for the other one to grow up!! x0x0

For those that believe in the power of prayer/positive thoughts/reiki....
by LouBelle ina friend of a friend has been in a horrific car-crash.
he has an extremely slim chance of survival as his body has stopped reproducing blood.
if he does survive, he is expected to be a "vegitable".

Mom is gone
by Katheryn ini'm not much of a poster here, but the passing of my mom on friday is as good a reason as any.. she was in deep, no doubt will be refered to as "faithful to the end" by those who eulogize her.
this new chapter in my life of course has me is a reflecive mood.
i'm sure when she was diagnosed with cancer 4 years ago that her hope was that the "new system" would come before she succumbed.

My deepest sympathy to you. I lost my mom too. I miss her everyday. She was not a JW but she put up with me getting into it and respected my decisions. I only wish she were here not to see my OUT!! I have not doubt you will see her again in a better place. And you will see a part of her in your new grandchild! x0
