  by Simon in

  the answer was "no".

  http://www.theonion.com/article/god-answers-prayers-of-paralyzed-little-boy-475.

  obviously it's the onion so it's satirical but it got me thinking how the religious view prayer and god.

  To quote Edward Current - "If you pray for something and god thinks you should have it, you will get what you want every single time. Prayer has a 100% success rate."

  Welcome BlackWolf. I’m sorry to hear about your predicament. You should always remember that no dark patch is permanent and like Faye said, your life will be amazing once you get through this. In the meantime, may I suggest you take up Geocaching as a hobby. My two teenage daughters love it. You get to go outdoors, learn new things about people and places and have fun fun fun! And you might make a new friend or two. Register for free at www.geocaching.com and download free software from Google Play – I suggest c:geo from the c:geo team or Geocaching from Groundspeak.
  Oh and keep on posting – it’s therapeutic!

  An excellent (and funny) example of Cognitive Bias

  i saw this and immediately thought about how this relates to us.

  once you've learned how to ride the ttatt-bicycle it's almost impossible to ride the "truth"-bicycle again.

  What triggered your doubts / awakening?

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am sort of new here, used a different username for a while but things got 'difficult' at home so i've since been lurking.... what i would be really interested to know, if you don't mind sharing, is what it was that triggered your doubts and initial research which led to awakening, was it a bad experience, injustice, changed doctrine?

  for me, it was seeing mistreatment of young ones in the congregation, they're under so much pressure and as soon as they go even slightly astray they are shunned, either informally (as bad associations which pushes them further into the 'world') or formally - with elders dying to throw the book at them so they even lose their family.... ...then reading about child abuse issues in the press.... ...which led me to silentlambs.

  ...then jw facts, this forum and coc, wham!

  I was born with doubts! As a three year old toddler I could not fathom the idea of a "loving" god having a disobedient child pelted with stones until death occurs. I tried to believe the lies for forty years. A couple of months back I came across an internet meme that I think was spawned by joe134cd: What's the between jw. org and lds. org? lds. org has a extra letter! I immediately logged on to the lds website and it hit me like a ton of bricks! The "truth" is actually a lie.

  hi i've been reading a web sight called borean pickets.

  http://meletivivlon.com/2015/05/09/may-tv-broadcast-on-tv-jw-org/.

  although the guy writes some real thought provoking stuff, i sort of don't know what to make of it.

  It seems that the "overlapping generations" issue caused this group's existence. I've never heard of them before but all I have to say is: "Keep up the good work."

  Who are the people in JW TV videos?

  by HappyDad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  out of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.

  are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?

  i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

  So did I CTD. He really put a lot of "effort" into it . . .
