if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.

PtB - A rose by any other name. Thorny charachter.
TBK - Pontoon - I often felt that prayer was me talking to myself, trying to convince myself of something.

frequently asked questions.

if i accept a bible study, will i be pressured to become one of jehovah’s witnesses?.

jehovah’s witnesses love teaching people about the bible, but we never pressure anyone to join our religion.

If I accept a Bible study, will I be pressured to become one of Jehovah’s Witnesses?
Yes. But a couple of things. It isn't a Bible study, it's a publication study. There is plenty of passive aggressive pressure to become a Jobot. Brainwashed? See........
"Minds must be cleansed" (Watchtower, June 1, 1953, p. 350 par. 24). 24 In these closing days of wickedness Jehovah’s people must demonstrate holiness. They must not foul their minds with the filthy mental food on the propaganda tables of this old world, but must feed on the feast of fat things Jehovah provides. (Isa. 25:6; 28:8.) Minds must be cleansed and made over, mental circuits formed by old-world thinking and acting faded out and new ones put in according to new-world specifications. By privately studying regularly, by attending all meetings regularly, and by engaging in all features of the preaching work regularly mental circuits are deepened and such good activities become habitual, not at all the struggle they are when the mental circuits are weak and faint because used only occasionally. For ourselves and for others, make them strong!—1 Tim. 4:16.

i don't think that it's too early to start this thread so .

merry christmas everyone.

maybe people could share christmas music or clips to get us all in the mood.

I have no childhood memories or anchors in Christmas, so it is meaningless to me. I don't do trees or decorations because it seems a waste of time. This is because I was raised as a JW Jobot.
Merry Christmas to those that like it.
But as for me, determined I will be...........
I can't stand Christmas songs blaring out because they're all cheap, turgid crap.
Can somebody tell Noddy Holder to shut his gob?
Don't be offended, I'm only saying what you think but daren't admit.
Apart from this one....

I guess Quadrophenia is good, too - I've never seen it, but would like to.
It's iconic. There are some continuity gaffs which means you can see late 1970's things where 1960's things should be. Worth a squint. In one scene you can see Nicholas Lyndhurst next to a scooter briefly.

i pray for every person in the world.

you can also join my prayer.

and may the creator hear our prayers.

Can someone explain to me what good praying does in practical, real life terms?
Did a prayer ever heal an amputee that you actually saw with your own eyes and not read in a book?

I don't really watch American films because I just don't feel it's my culture, Buddy.
I'll let them off with Jaws because despite the whining drawling voices of the kids, it was a good film.

This is absolutely sick. It shows how their minds work.
The Governing Body(tm), really do love abuse of children.
I see also in the picture that a ginger woman is facing Jehovah's(tm) wrath.
The GB even hate gingers.
I see there is some hilarious trolling going on in this thread.
