I did try too be the good Jdub and pray before I went to bed and I would end up falling asleep. When I realized that there was no personal God to answer my prayers, I thought what is the point, it was a complete waste of time.

Did you pray because you felt like it or because you were told to?
by JH inwitnesses pray many times a day.
at the field service, at the meetings, before each meal and even more.. i don't know if you're like me, but i didn't pray because i felt like it, but because i was told to.. personally, 1 long honest prayer a week would have been much better than 20 routine prayers.
did you feel that it was natural to pray 3 times a day or more?.

That is so true.
I was reading the other day how these fundies are pushing to replace evelution with creationism in the school science classes!! They refer to evelution as being a theory, but what the hell do they call creation? A belief that is based on faith and not on science. I guess they would love to take us back to the middle ages.

Do "Born-Again Christians" lie on JW's to put them in a bad light?
by booker-t ini was reading a book on early church fathers and early christian doctrines.
i could not put the book down.
i noticed that some of the early church fathers "denounced" war frowned upon celebrating holidays and also "birthdays" some of their arguments sounded exactly like jw's and if you did not know you would have thought you were talking to some jw's.

I think it is a bunch of crap. I am sure you can find any image if you put a picture up to a mirror, turn it upside down and zoom in on it. Give me a break.

dearborn, mich. (ap) -- some jehovah's witnesses, known for their door-to-door efforts to bring people to their spiritual beliefs, have been learning arabic as part of an effort to convert muslims.

Good luck with this one. I recall the JW saying how difficult it is in Muslim countries to convert the people to Christianity. They just don't let up.

What is the qualifications for an Elder?
by William Penwell ini just heard my ex brother in law has been made an elder.
no big deal but he was the one that had private reproof for going to a strip club a while back.
i guess it is ok considering they allow pedophiles to go door to door.

As a matter of fact, he cleans carpets for a living although what Jdub elder doesn't clean carpets for a living?

I mean how could he honestly sit there giving advise to someone else over pornography when he has indulged in it himself. Makes me wonder if he also had a lap dance to....

Marine Chooses Wedding Ring Over Finger :(

I think the ring must have been his good luck charm or something, but in his heightened state of emotions I can see where this is possible. He is suffering from a lot of stress from the war and wanted to keep something in his life intact.
This is possible that due to the emotional stress of the situation a person may not think rationally but where the hell were the doctors brains at that amputated his finger? The ring can be replaced but the finger can't. Just too idiotic for my liking but again this is the same mentality that brought you the Jessica Lynch story.
