This bearing of children is the sole privilege of the female. In fact, this is one main reason for creating the female of the human species. (end quote)
What! I think the Bible said it was good for man not to be alone, not"Man should have a breeding machine."

Okay guys, this is for you. In your personal opinon what are the five mistakes women make in relationships? I know everyone is going to have a different answer but I'd like to see if there's a tread throughout. I had a guy friend ask me why girls behave the way we do (he said I didn't count because I was unusally good.) I wasn't ure what to say to him. He said that he had a girl who turned him down for dates ove and over again and then wanted to be really involed in his life on a highly personal level. What do you think?
Thanks.

How Often Do You Pray?
by Anitar in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know this might sound silly, but one of the most annoying things i find about my mom being a jw is how often she prays.

normally, i would never criticize someone for praying to god, but she prays in such a way that makes me angry for some reason.

let me explain:.
Wendy_Warden

1) Do you pray? Why or why not? Yes, I pray. I believe that is the first and foremoat way to commun with God. As a Christain I think that Ineed to be in touch with him throughout the day, not just in the morning or at meals, but whenever I feel the need to reach out and touch him. Even if it only a little silent prayer.
2) If you do, than whom do you pray to? Do you believe there is a right one and a wrong one to pray to? When I pray I pray to God, the Father or Jehovah, if you wish. I don't say Jehovah when I pray but usually I begin with Father.
Like the Bible says there are many false gods in the world, but I believe the God of the Bible is the one and only God and therefore the only one worthy of praying too. I would have serious checks before praying to anything else.
3) How often do you pray? Whenever the spirit moves me.
4) What are the general things you pray for? Do you mostly ask for things for yourself or for others? It really depends. There are all kinds of prayers and all kinds of times for diffferent prayers. Sometimes I only pray about my concerns and sometimes I just pray for others. I ask for things (spiritual and matriel) for myself, family and friends.
4) If you consider yourself religious, than do the rules of your religion influence how you pray? When you use the term 'religious' I think of a form of Faith. The only thing that influences how I pray is the Bible. You won't find me praying to statues or idols or anything like that.
5) If you are atheist or agnostic or have a nature based religion (for example Wicca), do you have your own form of prayer? How do you view those who are religious who pray?
6) Do you believe everyone has the right to pray? If not, than who doesn't? Of course everyone has the right to pray! Who would stop you from praying anyhow? I mean, they can't control you if you say a silent prayer.
7) Do you believe there should be a certain qualification for prayer, or that certain people should not be allowed to pray? If so, than who determines these qualifications and what would they be? My only qualification, if you wish to put it that way, is that I believe women should pray with their heads covered.
8) Any more thoughts? Thanks for asking, I think we should all ask ourselves questions like this just to know in ourselves where we stand.

People can't resist money. Besides, think of all the WT booklets she could buy and pass out with it!
When you mentioned your study conductor this is what I saw in my mind's eye.
Yes! Black is White!
