Yes, we have. We had an elder approach us once and said, "you must have really gotten Jehovah mad at you because look at all the things that has been happening to you guys." It was a very difficult time for us, my son was very ill and we got no support from the cong or elders.

by rockmehardplace inwhen something bad happened in your life or someone that you knew, did anyone ever say it was because you/that person must be doing something wrong and that jehovah stopped blessing you/that person?.

It elevates you in the eyes of the other "cult members". You must be someone special because only certain ones selected by the elders get these privileges.You are a good dub and a fine example to the cong because you meet certain requirments. Some of these are, meeting attendence, participation in the meetings,field service.

I was taken aside by an elder and told he did not like my shoes. The heel was not tall enough. I should always be in high heels. I told him he was out of line and I would wear whatever was comfortable.

Taking Sodium Seriously!
by AK - Jeff ini am, along with my wife, trying to find creative ways to lower our sodium intake.
the aha recommends a diet consisting of less than 1500 mg of sodium daily - yet most americans eat at least twice that.
i believe now, having spent most of a morning looking through grocer shelves to determine sodium levels, that twice the level might actually be a very low estimate.

The more processed the food is the higher the sodium content. Personally, we eat very light. Our diet consists mainly of fresh vegs and fruit. We cook in extra virgin olive oil. My husband and I weight less now than when we where in college. I have been able to maintain a size 6. We also exercise. I run between 4-5 miles a day and lift weights. It is important to drink lots of water.

Who do you pray when you feel the need to pray if you dont believe in God?
by cyberjesus insometimes when we face difficult situations i feel the need to pray to god for help, and i know that plenty of times the sole act of praying makes you feel hope and have a better outcome of the situation.
you can call it suggestive or that you prepare a positive scenario by using faith.
the outcome is that regardless if there is someone who listens or not to your prayers oftentimes you feel better afterwards and have more positive attitude.. the problem is that i dont believe in god anymore.

I do not pray. I'am the one that I look to. I was fooled for decades, never again.

My experience
by spawn inthought i'd better say hi!
to say i was once a "worldly person" would be an understatement.
i consider myself to be a man who has "been there and done that" and enjoyed all the pleasures of the world.

Hi and welcome. Many of the things you stated I saw in the many halls I attended. Once your eyes are opened you can see that the whole thing is a sham. It is wonderful to be free from that cult.

Funny how my family acts when it comes to ALCOHOL
by Butterflyleia85 inso yesterday my fiance (nonjw) and i went to my mom's for dinner and invited my sister's husband and her as well.
it was a nice visit but i couldn't help but notice a watchtower that had in bold letters alcohol on her coffee table.
i didn't make a comment but just chucked in my head as i recall my mom's "drinking" (as far as problem i'm not sure) but as dinner begin my mom offered beer which then i realize now her thinking, she is leading to the idea of moderation and that watchtower is there as her reminder to keep it in moderation.. then we were getting on the subject of age.

I cannot count how many witnesses I have smelled alcohol on thier breath before a meeting. I guess they needed a shot or two to make it through another boring meeting.
