  the jw's always teach that our prayers should not be repetitive.. however, for those that are still "active" (and for those who still remember), i present to you typical words or phrases that make up a jw prayer.. feel free to add to the list!.

  -"dear heavenly father, jehovah" or "jehovah god".

  -"bowed heads and humble hearts".

  "We humbly approach you, now, through your son's name..."
  and
  "Please forgive us for our many sins and shortcomings because we ARE imperfect..."
  (Jehovah must be up there saying, "Well, duh! Of course you're going to sin if you're imperfect! Why do these people keep reminding me that they're imperfect? For God's...I mean...For MY sake!"

  You have all cracked me up! :o)

  plmkrzy-
  I'm sure you just took a lot of people back to the meetings with that prayer. You sound just like them! LOL!

  Room 215-
  Actually, in a recent WT (about the Republic of Georgiathey said that we should pray for our enemy. Then, one or two prayers in the next few meetings thereafter went something like, "Please forgive our persecutors and help them be won over to the faith by the conduct of our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted..."

  Geez! It's as if we've been attending the same congregation (because the phrases are dead-on!).

  Unbelievable!
  No doubt, this is international.

  -"Dear heavenly father, Jehovah" or "Jehovah God"
  -"Bowed heads and humble hearts"
  -"May your spirit be upon..." or "...a portion of your holy spirit..."
  -"Please be with those who could not be here today..."
  -"Help us to arrive to our homes safely"
  -"Many times we sin or fall short..."
  -"Continue to guide and direct us"
  -"Thank you for the food you provide to us through the faithful and
  discreet slave"
  -"Please be with those who have parts" (as opposed to those that are
  bald! Just kidding!)
  -"For the next two hours we ask that your spirit will be upon us"
  -"Please help us to be encouraging to one another..."

  Who else has any gems to add???

  We would OTHERWISE sound like ex-cins

  by revdrjohnson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  iwas the executive director of a mission/shelter for just over four years; then lived in one for a couple of months.. during that time i met many ex-cons, who would congregate and share "war stories" about when they were in the joint[b], the way we exes do about when we were [b]in the b'org.. the only real difference, as i see it, is that the prisons (at least here in michigan) assign you an inmate number which is yours for life.

  if there are subsequent incarcerations, the system changes the number by affixing an alphabetical character to the original number -- so that prisoner #1234567, becomes prisoner #a1234567 the second time he is incarcerated, #b1234567 the second ... and so on.. it occured to me, a minute ago, that if the b'org had given us publisher id #s we might actually have a whole lot in common with those who have been incarcerated.. keep the faith.
