  Did/Does God answer your prayers?

  by song19 in

  in my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.

  i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.

  terrible i know.

  Do the JW's really and truly believe that the end is near?

  by TooBad TooSad in

  if the jw's really believe what the witchtower babble and trick society says about.

  the end being so close, do their actions betray what they preach?

  if you knew that your house.

  I think if the WTS pulls a dumbshit move and "advises" everyone to sell their homes and send the money to headquarters, or tells them to quit their jobs so that they can pioneer, alot more people will abandon the faith.

  Someone finally forwarded that email to me about "complete obedience to the FDS" and "not hesitating when we are given instructions from the GB"... that's the kind of stuff that will hopefully wake up some of the JWs.

  I just read and compared both articles... The real one on the Duke website, and the yellow version in the Awake.

  There is really no surprise factor anymore. I am getting used to seeing the selective quoting that the WTS uses to prove their point.

  Funerals = JW infomercials

  by Lady Zombie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one of the more asinine practices of jws is to turn someone's funeral into a borg infomercial.

  every single jw relative i've had who has passed away, had an infomercial funeral.

  hardly anything was ever said about them as people, except of course in how they served the borg.. "sister x was a very pugnatious woman, even into her late 80's, as i'm sure her family can attest to.

  I told my wife that I want a secular funeral.

  I want my real friends to come and drink Irish Whiskey and talk about how great I was... (LOL) and have a big party.

  ...guess I'll never know for sure.

  Did you help clean the Kingdom Hall, yard work, maintenance?

  by Thechickennest in

  at one hall i attended for serveral years had a lawn covering large man-made burms with trees and bushes.

  it was a difficult yard to mow and maintain.

  i have often wondered why we all pitched in and worked so hard for nothing.

  tfjw - I think they were called "2-day Kingdom Halls" back then, but they were changed to "4-day", and eventually to "Quick Builds".

  I have wasted many weekend days cutting grass and trimming hedges at the various halls I have attended. At one point I even let them use my lawn equipment. Bad idea... When I would take my truck over to the hall, people would rummage through it, looking for trimmer line, or edger blades, or gasoline. That used to really irritate me when there was a big "cleanup day" and people would just go into my truck and take gasoline. It's not like there weren't gas cans at the hall, they just assumed they could take what I had brought from home.

  (i drive a toyota matrix -- i'm sure most people should think i should shut up now ...) .

  i was hoping you guys could make me feel grateful for only having to pay $40.

  chocolate

  by John Doe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard a while back of a study that was done some years ago.

  evidently, they took children preschool or kindergarten, don't remember which, and told them that they could have either 1 piece of chocolate now, or if they waited till the end of the day they could have two.

  they kept track of which kids took the immediate chocolate and which ones held out for two.

  Who did the study? It sounds bogus to me.

  There are so many factors that contribute to mental illness and indebtedness, that it would be impossible to unilaterally associate them with childhood behavior.

  Unhappiness, and overall success are such vague concepts that I doubt they would be factored in the results of a scientific study.

  There must be more to it...

  John, did you read about this in "Watching the World"?
