Yeah, I often find myself starting the prayer, and then going, 'wait, you already know all this stuff, what's going on and crap and how I feel; why do I gotta say it all over again when all I really want is a good night's sleep to help me get over it.

40the Power of Prayer?
by darcy ini was reading through the 'why i hate god' thread', and reflecting on my own experience with prayer.
i think the one most... relieving?
point was when i realized that i when i prayed i wasn't really trying to talk to jehovah, but i was talking myself through my own life.

this is dumb! Ice cream, milk, and chocolate containing blood parts so you can't have them???
Geez, folks, that's like saying I can't eat cake. But wait! Because cake contains flour, sugar, eggs, and milk I can't eat Anything with those things in it either!
*beats a bible against her head in disbelief*

I think the one most... relieving? point was when I realized that I when I prayed I wasn't really trying to talk to Jehovah, but I was talking myself through my own life. The prayer would often help me to calm down, and reason through, figure things out. Unfortunately, I do more journaling than praying, but, it would appear, they're relatively the same thing in different skins.I'd like to know about y'alls experiences with prayer. Feel free to be long-winded.

We met with J.R. Brown and Spivey- My impression
by ronin1 inmy husband and i have been the recipients of elder shepherding calls.
they are bs.
some elders came into our home one night requesting a meeting with us because they wanted to ask us questions about one of my brothers, who was an elder, but got deleted because he stood up for what was right and denounced the wrong things the elders were doing.

to Ronin:
they didn't do sheperding calls for a long time in my cong. I got told once by a CO that the elders are very busy with their own lives and basic maintenance in the cong, and I asked him right back (in front of several elders) "Then why are they elders if they can't do the job?"... and no one said a thing.

For Darcy, what do you think is necessary for salvation?
by TheListener ini know it was a rather long and drawn out title but i couldnt' think of another way to word it.
this is especially for the new poster darcy.
i was wondering what you felt was necessary to receive everlasting life, whether on heaven or paradise earth?

Steve,
My dear steve. Oh goodness. It wasn't child abuse in my family, but I've run up against this brick wall. For my family, it did, and still does, piss the hell outta me that when a wife goes to the elders for help with her husband REPEATEDLY, she is told, 'go home, be more submissive'. When she drags her children in to tell the elders, yes, things are bad, she's told Go the Fuck Home and be More Submissive!
Yes Steve. I have issues. What made me angry was they couldn't at least say, 'look honey there's nothing we can do; the Society ties our hands with marital issues, but there are secular organizations who can help if you think you're in danger.' ... oh but that's soliciting for the world. geeez.
Long story Very Very short: if my dad hadn't been arrested for domestic violence because I called the police finally, then mom would have stayed with the bastard still trying to be more submissive.
And that's that. That's the very short version.
Love,
Darcy

thanks, Listener. In any case, I consider this hypothetical. Entirely.But it's always interesting to ruminate.

visit apostate websites?
what?? We were studying the UN and FDR, and I had to write up about the DPI. I never imagined I'd stumble on this kinda stuff. I mean they withdrew in Oct. 2001, so it's not that big a deal, I know, so I didn't say anything, buuut, I have been wondering about it. (probably withdrew in oct. 2001 b/c they thought the world was going to end after 9/11, and during the "big A" it wouldn't be good to be linked to the UN) -

The New "Invite" - How Stupid Can They Be?
by metatron inwhile traveling down thru new england, i happened across one of the new district convention "invites".. how dumb can the watchtower society get?
for the moment, let's ignore the fact that they expect people to drop everything.
within a radius of one, two or even three hundred miles and attend an inner city convention over a weekend.

to bizzybee: with the invites of course. And y'all are right, it's a team building effort to build enthusiasm for the DC. The most fun will be the little games we do, like who can place the most, who wants to take to the motorcyclists, ooh ooh cute guy is mine!, and that kinda stuff... lol.
