  Were your prayers ever answered while being a JW

  did any of your prayers ever get answered while being a jw even if they where small maybe insignificant?

  pesonnally i never really needed my prayers to be answered but one time while the co visited us i was going to work with him durining saturady service i get there at 0930 but service started at 0900. i felt i missed my chance to work with him and show i was commited and i wanted to asked him how i can reconcile the fact i did not believe that noah's flood existed globally with the way the society views it.

  i left the kingdom hall pissed off thinking i fu*ked things up, so i kinda said to jah well i messed up gettin some clarity to to my quandry.

  Never. I prayed and prayed for things to work out right and they never would. I housed a sister for almost two year when she did not have a house. People would tell me I would be blessed but it never happened.

  dear friends and fellow sojourners,.

  i have not had much time to post here and i miss you all horribly.

  even as i start this topic, i worry that i will not have the time to babysit it as i should but i just wanted to bleed out some of my thoughts after a visit with my mother and brother recently--thoughts that you and only you will understand.. i have not seen my mother in over a year.

  Be strong, You've done the right thing. Don't feel bad but be happy. I hate the guilt trip thing since I'm going through it right now.

  Punished by our “friends” for the letter we sent.

  by LennyinBluemont in

  2. friends

  some of you may have read our exit letter from august of last year which we sent to about 50 of our close jw "friends", many of whom we had been very close to for decades.

  we just told them what we had learned regarding the un scandal and provided all the documentation.

  we never disassociated ourselves, nor have we been disfellowshipped.

  OK, Your Opinion: Are Witnesses Who Practice Their Religion "Bad"?

  2. friends

  if a jw is an ardent believer, and faithfully practices his or her religion, are they, in your mind, "bad" or "evil", in reality?

  I have a few JW friends who pratice it faithfully, and they are good people however, I think good people are good regardless of religion. I tried to practice it faithfully but it only lead to disappointment.

  I'm glad I got my degrees while in the WTS. I used to get a hard time from from Elders, one told me that reading the WT for two year was equal to a BA I know that was a bunch of BS. I was asked to give a part at the MS school on how my degree did ot compare to the WTS education I said "no" .
