  Well Snowbird I am forced to use my 1000th post to avoid getting biffed by a Scotsman LOL

  You've been looking at our quiz banter . . .

  Sweetpea and the Podlets came to stay with Pub and Mrs Pubsinger (who doesn't post here) in Halifax last week - and The Pubsinger Family went to stay with Besty and Sweepy in London about 6 weeks ago.

  That said Sweetpea is my discovery of 7 years here just think - if we'd never left the dubs we'd never have met. And now we're all free! (I think Besty will let me have that one)

  hahahaha - wondered about them two myself.

  I choked on my glass of red when I saw this thread . . . still wiping the screen!!!

  Sad emo/ Pubsinger

  That happens a lot We work together! Customers think it too . . . Sorry Emo!!

  Glad that's sorted LOL.

  I have seen prayers read at district convention!

  by oompa in

  yes, i like to gaze around during prayers, especially big ones.

  twice now i have seen the chairman or concluding speaker finish the song, approach the speaker stand, say "let's approach god in prayer," and at the last second pull out a index card size of paper with writing on it.

  he kind of cups his hand over as he lays in on top of the song book.

  I agree that "written prayers" goes against the JW grain and their long held position.

  However I would have to say that Christians in general would wonder what all the fuss was about.

  All this "repeating a written prayer can't be sincere or heartfelt" is just another JW mindset mostly from a position ignorance.

  Why wouldn't repeating or meditating on words someone had spent a great deal of time preparing be a valid prayer.

  I would have thought that something that touched you so much that you wanted to repeat it would be worthy of a considered and heartfelt "Amen"

  The scotsman returns - but he is not the same....

  by The Scotsman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello, yes the scotsman has returned, but i have been naughty .

  i have been doing some of my own research on the internet etc regarding jws and some doctrinal issues.. i have had some doubts for a while but am beginning to think that some of our current teachings are simply unsustainable.. example - the 1914 timeframe.. the reason that this is so pivotal is that it is a foundation stone of the organization.

  evidence is easily available to prove that this date is unsafe.. many on here speculate about revolution in the organization etc, if 1914 was moved it would have a catastrophic effect on the ordinary publisher and would lead to big change across the congregations.

  You know what I think, The Scotsman ? I think the society is waiting for the generation who would understand the significance of 1914 to die away.

  I totally agree.

  By the time they change this some will point to the "generation" change of '95 (wow 13 years ago) as say something inane like "didn't they change the 1914 teaching YEARS ago.

  The 2520 "day" 607 - 1914 stuff hasn't (to my knowledge - I left in '99) been in any frontline bible study book since the "Live Forever" book which was replaced by the "Knowledge" book () in '95

  Another 15 to 20 years and they will be ready to do it.

  Mother Teresa doubted God's existence during her last years

  by Gregor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  her personal diarys and letters have revealed she doubted gods reality and this in turn caused her to ask herself "is jesus true?

  " she no longer prayed right up until her death.

  in my opinion this in no way detracts from her being a wonderful, self sacrificing woman.

  China Bans Reincarnation Without Government Permission

  by Justitia Themis in

  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/08/22/china-bans-reincarnation-_n_61444.html.

  in one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, china has banned buddhist monks in tibet from reincarnating without government permission.

  according to a statement issued by the state administration for religious affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation.

  Yes and just so that no-one is seen to be making fun of the Government, this law is to be applied RETROSPECTIVELY.

  Anyone found to have re-incarnated in the last 50 years is gonna be in BIG trouble.
