  We used to go to the Sat morning bookstudy (gave us an extra free night and an excuse for no service 1st thing in the morning) we would take breakfast tacos for the group...after the bookstudy we would have coffee and the tacos..lol by then everyone was to lazy to do much door to door and so we would go on calls....

  and of course there is always the JW staple of DONUTS!!!!

  uuummm what is a mojo dinner??

  Friends we are too unbalanced.

  by sleepy in

  well sometimes we are.. look we have the knowledge and experience to help a lot of people.must of us have one time been jw's and understand how many think.so lets not put them off by being too negative.. when we were witnesses most of us were quite happy .

  we tried to be good people , to put into practise principles that many people think are good.

  we did this sometimes even when we didn't want to , because we thought god would hold us accountable and because we cared for people .

  isn't that one of the reasons for a "discussion" board ash? I feel like this type of thing broadens the mind...lol if we all agreed what would be the fun or challange of that???

  Just because I don't agree with someone doesn't mean I don't find their point of view interesting and thought provoking. One of the things I have loved about this board it the way the people here can express so many differing views in such well thought out posts...and how we can all agree to disagree on certain issues...

  I know I have changed my viewpoint on a couple of things after reading and reflecting on posts that differed from my orignial viewpoint.

  lol I say viva la difference!!!

  Why prayer and Does it work?

  by Undecided in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  why i began thinking on prayer was the request from my spanish neighbour to my wife.

  they requested that she come down and pray for his/her child who has been sick.

  my wife believes in prayer and says she knows it works.

  I tend to side with the prayer as a self help group It is great as a positive reinforcement and a way to focus on what you really want out of life. A lot of "self" help tapes will stress this type of thinking for attaining your goals.

  On the subject of breast lumps...I just wanted to say that I had them myself and they went away not due to prayer but due to me cutting out the caffeine in my diet....diet and attitude can have a lot to do with your health.

  I do have to say though that there some things that do happen that can't be explained yet...lol so I guess it doesn't hurt to cover all your bases and pray along with whatever else you are doing to help your situation..can't hurt right?
