Have you or would you relocate 4 love ?
by oldflame inyou know, i never thought that i could meet someone so much like me.
but i did and right here at jwd, we only live a couple thousand miles from each other but i feel driven to relocate.
not tomarrow or anything sudden but the thought of someone who you know deep inside is you're perfect match is so far away, what else is there to do ?.

Free and happy You really have got happiness down to a fine art. You've got a brilliant approach to life. At the core of your approach is the understanding that if you're not happy, then it's down to you to sort it out. There are things you can do about it - changing the way you think, feel or the way you handle your problems. You have the confidence and self-belief never to simply accept misery as a way of life. You believe in yourself and your ability to get through things. You're not smug, but at peace with the real you. It could be, of course, that you aren't 100 per cent sorted in all areas of your life - work, play and love - and that's natural. Or it could be that you lack some happiness skills, such as goal setting or managing your emotion spot on really!

Did God ever grant what you asked for in prayer?
by JH ini was an active witness, and i didn't feel as if god granted anything i asked for in prayers.
i didn't ask anything out of the ordinary.
since the witnesses say that they are god's followers and that he blesses them, i wonder in what way he blesses individuals when they pray?.

Hey Ozzie, How big are the Dubs over here? I rarely see them and when i do i always give them a toot of the horn in appreciation of their sterling work! Theres a KH around the corner from my work, sometimes se them on the Ministry if im in work on a Saturday, but they never have knocked on my door since i have lived here. Might be in part to the Missus dad getting his shottie out at them some years back!!! Do they still have quickbuilds? I went to the building of one of them in about 1992, was kinda fun, although my visions of it being an Amish-esque barn raising were quickly quoshed by the moaning of the Bro's about the catering!!

Should You Believe In The Trinity? - Maybe
by dontomas inhi folks.
i am new to this board and since i am currently undergoing bible study with a jw elder, thought it would be a good idea to expose myself to other viewpoints on what i am learning from him.. a while ago i read "should you believe in the trininty".
having had a barely adequate education, i knew a lot of the names of the father's cited therein but had never really read anything they wrote.

Dontomas, your questionning what hes telling you, dosen't that ring alarm bells? Has this site not enlightened you to the plain facts that 99% of the people on this site have had a NEGATIVE experience with the JW's as people and as a religion. We don;t make this stuff up you know! It is a controlling dominating set of beliefs that have little to none at all basis on Scriptual Teachings. I suggest for your own sanity you cease now whilst your at least still in control of your thought processes. And sure the Elders studying with you are nice, theyre grooming you, like a new whore, once your baptised your on your own buddy, just wait for the criticism, the arrogance and finally the post traumatic stress disorder that plagues most of us. Sorry to be blunt amigo, but take it from an old company man, raised in the 'Dub Way, Its not a religion, its a Publishing Corporation, religion is the selling hook!
