  greetings, fellow lexophiles:.

  last night, i watched a cool road movie, the trip, with steve coogan and rob brydon.

  they were counseled by steve's dad to take an "anticlockwise" route home, rather than the clockwise one steve had proposed.

  My Belief in Prayer

  my belief in prayer was once bolstered by my strong attachment to what i had read in aid to bible understanding.

  my having a part in its initial prep in the factory and, later, a detailed proofing of thousands of references to it made this bible dictionary an influence in my former life.

  please note this extract on jehovah's seeming delay in the answering of prayer.

  My faith in prayer is firmly founded in the fact that sometimes when I needed something, I got it. . . . please send me some peanut butter. -- Nathan Natas

  Nothing more needs be said.

  was the Aid book Ray Franz's work? -- LV101

  I believe so, along with Charlie Ploeger and others. Ed Dunlap wrote Commentary on the Book of James. So sad and wrong what happened to such dedicated brothers.

  THANKS!

  Otherwise, you humans just try waiting a few centuries longer for help. -- Spiral

  And a few more centuries have passed . . .

  I still kind of miss the situations I had imagined in my head: -- GrreatTeacher

  Yes, GT, we had lots of imaginings going on in our collective heads!

  P.S. CoCo, did you see what I did there with reference to the Aid to Bible Understanding publication? -- Tara N Seals

  That you read every entry, from the very first to the very last?

  ********************************************

  As a believing JW, I think I swallowed the explanation. I reasoned that it fit well with the JW teaching that Jah was going to fix all problems in the future and that it wasn't time yet to fix all problems (issue of universal sovereignty, etc.). -- Magnum

  Swallowed, hook, line, and sinker! Leave it in Jehovah's hands, etc.

  *********************************************

  Why does Jah permit this and remain silent? Why can’t he alleviate this suffering? -- EverApostate

  I'm still working on that one.

  THANKS!

  Thanks, pale.emperor, for your thoughts. I agree on "full stop."

  Yes, French is beautiful and so, too, Italian. Some time back I recall that the French word for twilight, crepuscule, was voted the most beautiful French word.

  Please note this extract on Jehovah's seeming delay in the answering of prayer. How would you, in your years as a JW, have been influenced by this explanation?

  "The seeming delay on God's part in answering some prayers is not due to any inability nor to a lack of willingness. . . . In some cases the answer must await God's timetable. Primarily, however, it is evident that God allows his petitioners to demonstrate the depth of their concern, the intensity of their desire, the genuineness of their motive. . . . Similarly, while Jehovah God cannot be pressured by numbers into acting, he evidently takes note of the extent of concern shown by his servants as a body, taking action when they collectively show deep concern and united interest. Where apathy, or a measure thereof exists, God may withhold action."

  Never would I, should I, could I be anti-AFRIKANMAN! However, since I am older than you, I am ante-AFRIKANMAN.

  THANKS!
