LostMyReligion,
Thank you for sharing this. I hope your JW son will see the real truth about the "truth" and leave the "truth" to follow real truth.
You know what I mean.

I got my nerve up, gonna try this again!
by LostMyReligion ini first posted to this board as "truman" about 2 months ago.
it was a time of deep depression, confusion, fear, and paranoia for me, as i had just 3 weeks before discovered that everything i had believed for 27 years was only a pipe dream.. everyone was very welcoming, but after only a few posts, i got so afraid i had to stop.
i was fearful of revealing too much, being somehow discovered, and of the possibility of saying the wrong thing, incurring the ire of my betters here.

Tallyman,
In case you missed my reply to you on the message for RR thread, you mentioned you have met Ronald Day on another forum. I posted his web-site. I will post it again here in case you missed it.

Signs you've joined a cheap HMO:
by Scorpion inannual breast exam conducted by hooters.. directions to your doctor's office include, "take a left when you enter the trailer park.".
tongue depressors taste faintly of fudgesicles.. only proctologist in the plan is "gus" from roto-rooter.. only item listed under preventative care coverage is "an apple a day.".
your "primary care physician" is wearing the pants you gave to goodwill last month.. "patient reponsible for 200% of out-of-network charges" is not a typo.. the only expense covered 100% is embalming.. with your last hmo, your prozac didn't come in different colors with little "m"s on them.. you ask for viagra, you get a popsicle stick and duct tape.

Tallyman,
I have dealt with many BS, not only on the net but also a few in person. The mindset of the BS as far as their defense of Russell is the same as the JW defending the Borg. Of course now I am classified as an evil liar not only with the JWs but also with the BS that know me. Some BS are not beyond twisting ones words posted on their forums. This is why it is good to make copies of important subjects discussed so as to bring about the just of what was said and meant.

Answered prayers
by Oldhippie inlooking back over many years of prayers, i cannot pinpoint any time when i felt, unequivocally, that i had received a personal response to my prayers.
can anyone here relate any experiences where you have felt that god answered prayers for you?

I have had prayers answered. The list is to long to type and explain each.
I would say one of the biggest answer to one of my prayers is when I received full physical custody of my three kids. Even my own attorney could not believe how all the events transpired that brought about me receiveing custody. I prayed that I did not care about anything other than the welfare of my kids and that if God see's that being with me other than my decietful evil ex-wife, then please grant me full custody. It happened even though two other attorneys besides mine said it would not. I lost just about everything in the divorce except my truck and my business. I prayed for help in rebuilding my life and the kids and to try my best under the circumstances to put the kids first. There is a ton of things to tell about how it all transpired, but I could see and feel God working in my life and still do today.
All three kids are doing great. My youngest daughter made principals honor-role all year, she is in the 7th grade. My son is top in the chess class at school besides being fantastic in sports. My oldest daughter is driving me nuts. Hey, two out of three ain't bad. Actually, she is almost a straight A student. She is just getting very independant which is good and can be bad.
To look back at where I was with three kids, not sure about where things were heading and how I was going to swing all the schedules etc, it was somewhat scary. Things have worked out very well. I am not saying that I did not have to put forth effort to bring things about, I am just saying that God blessed that effort and gave me strength.
This is just one aspect on how God has answered my prayers. I have prayed for things and still do pray for things that I have not seen an answer to. Maybe God is working on these prayers, maybe not. Time will tell. Maybe it is better some prayers are not answered.
