Prayer helps to relieve stress. Also, we are supposed to act in accord with our prayers. Act = action! Prayer is not some lazy man's version of helping our neighbors or the community.

Today's WT study
by piztjw inso as i looked at the material i was struck by a few thoughts about this article.. par.
6 glossed over the idea that we can pray for ourselves, or our needs.
9-11 on one hand they say jesus did not harshly criticize peter or the apostles for falling asleep instead of praying continually, and on the other hand make veiled threats if we should feel tired out by life.

next week's bible reading (Gen. 1-5) stumpers.for your "in" family conversations & sly comments.
by prologos inyou may add many, but here are two:.
1) vegetation made on day 3, animals formed day 5,6, but- then.
in gen 2, man seems to be the primary creation, and vegetation and then animals were formed from the dust and brought to him to name them.

I'm sorry, but now that I see that the bible reading is back on Genesis, it reminds me that this would have been my third time through the readings... isn't it 7 years to finish the Bible according to this schedule? That's how I marked time in the bOrg. I got out just before the end of the secobd time through.

WT Study Article Counsels JWs To Be Humane Towards Disfellowshiped Ones
by baldeagle inwt august 1, 1974 pp.
467-468 maintaining a balanced viewpoint toward disfellowshiped ones.
5 it is right to hate the wrong committed by the disfellowshiped one, but it is not right to hate the person nor is it right to treat such ones in an inhumane way.suppose, then, a member of a christian congregation boating on a lake were to see another boat containing a disfellowshiped person capsize, throwing the disfellowshiped one into the water where he struggled to stay afloat.

What articles/ "new light" has replaced this line of thinking? I know we've discussed on this forum. WT articles that say not even email communication.... But I'd like to send this snippet to former friends and family, to encourage them to think. Would they even know that "new light" replaces "old light" in this regard? I've found that jws are so dumb with regards to their own theology.... Also, can I get this snippet without any underlining?
Thanks! Losingit

I am sorry you are going through this, but I am happy that you gave yourself the opportunity to express how you feel and what you think to your family. I do aappreciate how throughout your message you exclaimed, "Think!" So many refuse. Perhaps one day, after time spent without her sibling and nieces and nephews, she will "Think!" It takes a jolt, sometimes a series of jolts, for movement to begin.
I hope you have found peace in the fact that you expressed yourself. Good luck to you. And plz continue coming onto this forum for support and encouragement. We understand.

Breyers is not allowed to call it's product "ice cream" anymore by the FDA!
by EndofMysteries inmany other so called ice cream at grocery stores as well.
have you noticed how it seems to be different than from a couple years ago?
that it doesn't melt, it just warms up and becomes like a whipped cream texture?

Middle age is 40-60, depending on how you've taken care of yourself. 30s is still young.

Internet at Bethel Monitored?
by jw07 ini was speaking to a group of uber-dubs over the weekend, and one of them was mentioning no-nonse policies at bethel, one of them being the monitoring of website visits.. he was saying that you had to 'freedom' to do certain things, like use the internet, but if you visited "the wrong websites" you would face consequences.
he mentioned the case of a brother who visited the "wrong website" a few days in and was immediately sent home.. can anyone shed ****new light**** on this?
:-).

Mentally diseased...spot the difference
by punkofnice innwt revised 1984 1tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our lord jesus christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up [with pride], not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words.
from these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions,.
nwt revised 20131 tim 6:3-4 if any man teaches another doctrine and does not agree with the wholesome instruction, which is from our lord jesus christ, nor with the teaching that is in harmony with godly devotion, 4 he is puffed up with pride and does not understand anything.
