Many here will pray for you so you will get better. But if you don't, it just means you don't have enough faith. I have been praying for fewer children to die in the world because they don't have enough to eat but so far it isn't working

There is no question that blood transfusions are dangerous. However like any organ transplant that is dangerous it can prolong a person's life. Yes blood transfusions can harm people but they can also save a person's life.
It should be totally left up to the individual to decide whether he or she want's to accept a blood transfusion and those decisions should not be made out of a guilty conscience because someone says, "God doesn't want you to have a blood transfusion".
The witnesses make their decisions based on what a group of men direct them to do or not do.

It's going to continue to shock you as you keep reading but do not fret, things will only get better once you realized that you have been duped to think you had the truth. Just remember,
"Do not put your trust in men"

Signs From God?
by What Now? innot sure about the rest of you that are mentally out, but every now and again i still have those moments where i think "ok god, if this is in fact the true religion and the organization is right and i'm on the wrong path, send me a big, glaringly obvious sign that i can't ignore.. .
anyways, this past sunday my husband and i just did not feel like going to the meeting.
we weren't in the mood to sit through it.

What now:
It sounds like your saying because you happened to be at a store in your community and a person who professes to be a JW, (annointed no less) who no doubt lives in your community and you just happened to see at a store is some kind of sign saying you should be at a meeting. Is that what your saying?

by flipper ini was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .
while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .

Good job Flipper. Your dedication to helping others is beyond reproach. To coin the JW line you planted seeds. I hope it gets through to them

take a box of Aluminum foil and fashion an aluminum helmet and wear it at night while you sleep and then the angels will communicate with you in your dreams.
If they don't, that means you don't have enough faith

Faith is somthing you don't have to have in life. Of course if you need to have faith, I'm sure you will find somthing to have faith in. At this point I don't need to have faith I may or may not in the future however if I do develop faith in somthing, it will be on my own terms.
