look...i am not an atheist.
even so, i have never had one prayer answered my entire life.
the only thing that would even come close was learning ttatt.
Yes many times.
Sometimes I think that when we pray to God about something it makes it real to us and we believe He will sort it out but in believing that we make it happen for ourselves and then give God credit for making it happen. Our mind is a powerful thing.
my taste in music is pretty eclectic.
i was listening to some andrea bocelli this afternoon and found this on youtube.. .

been on this site 8 months now, but not on a daily basis.
recently discoverd a poster named processor, loved his tread on the life of jesus.
anyway the guys posts never seem to make long threads.
There was a poster here from a few years ago 'Amazing' i recently really enjoyed reading his story (very long) and over several posts as chapters!!!
i would love to know where most of our fellow forum members are from.... is there a way to compile a quick list?.
for example, i would love to know how many live near me......
QLD Australia!!
hi all, ive decided to come back to the forum.
am needing to let of some steam in regards to things in general as finding myself frustrated once again with wt rules policies etc which i will discuss in future threads.
i just wanted to ask your thoughts about ex 7:1 as it says that the lord made moses god to pharaoh.
Interesting... Since Pharoah was considered a God by his people perhaps Moses needed to be a God/like God in order to reach Pharoah With his message?
Moses was also in the transfiguration. I wonder if that's linked with his being a god as well?
has anyone ever felt that an elder was perhaps 'coming on' to them ?
i remember three specific occasions where i was alone with these three elders in my congregation on seperate occasions and it just didnt feel right.
one where i was told i was "very attractive" and various other things he'd said made me nervous about my appearance, another where an elder took me to his car after a meeting in a dark car park and seemed to ask too many private questions and another time one of the elders who i thought always had his arms around young sisters too much took me to the 'back room' and sat far too close to me again references about my "attractive face" and other strange compliments.
I copped a feel by a couple of elders. One used to always touch my butt when I was a teen. And recently another elder, who he and his wife used to always help me put the kingdom first as a teen felt me up on two occasions- now I'm in my thirties!!! I told my parents. They thought it was funny.
i had a bunch of tiny little nags that always bothered me about the bible/god/etc.
that eventually led to me drifting away, but this was my personal, singular issue that no one could address.
i think i mentioned it before here, but, for summation again:.
For me it was when I was trying to show my baptist friend that the bible says we will live forever on a paradise earth. There was no scripture stating that. And trying to prove the star of Bethlehem was from Satan. No scripture saying that either. I then wondered what else had I been taught wrong!
would love your feedback!.
