there’s no proof that prayers have any effect whatsoever, other than perhaps giving the person who prays a false sense of having done something.
all claims that prayers have been answered are either anecdotal, fraudulent, delusional or are the result of either pure coincidence or confirmation bias.. how many prayers do you need in a day?.
you get up and eat breakfast...you pray for another day of life.
When I was a dyed in the wool dub, I would make my kids pray after every meals and every snacks and before school and after school and before bed. One day a little neighbourhood boy happened to be visiting at lunch time. He told that he prayed once a day and it covered everything. Smart kid had more sense than me.
Seriously- the whole prayer thing is nothing more than a ritual.
lloyd evans has a livestream and must answer all questions.
the only catch.
you can only ask one question plus a follow up.. my fave so far is would you want your daughter to marry a man who was unfaithful every few months with prostitutes.. what would you ask him?.
Rules and Regulations: I wanted to PM you but its not available. Last few years I've been trying to distance myself from anything related to JW's . But a rebuttal to Lloyd's actions came my way on youtube and wanted to see what folks were saying about it on this forum.
I've missed this forum and hope to contribute more.

Q. can you do a disappearing act and go away?
What a disgrace! his poor wife and daughters.
blondie, flipper, shirley w, where are you?
did this site get too republican for you?
i just take those threads with a grain of salt..
I miss Maximus and Amazing--that goes back aways
you are what she wanted to be!please, let us remove any blame to anyone right up front.
what happened to petra was not the fault of mark o'donnell, listener, corney, mike and kim, or anyone else.. constant rejection and shunning even at an early age, the depression was storing up inside of her.
she was shunned inside the hall and outside the hall.
Hugs to Petra.

2020-08 instructions for new regular pioneers, s-236-e, in english and in spanish.time to grab the hair brush.https://docdro.id/ikgig7gpetra!.
If you had the time to send me the link also. I was a pioneer for decades and would like to see this letter.
best and thank you Petra!!
body of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.
Thank you Petra and Atlantis--for everything that you have done through the years. But there will be other elders with eyes open, I am sure of it.
many of us have watched the gb #4 update.
most of us jumped for joy when they basically said that there will be no meeting in person for a long time to come.. one aspect we overlooked was how hard they hit home the "love of neighbor".
how this "love" is what makes a true christian and as a result our love for our neighbors will motivate us to stay at home.. well now they released a letter that is instructing all kh's to view this video during their local needs part.
I thought it was easier with the zoom meetings. You show your face for the first two minutes and then shut down the video and go and cut the grass.
found this on one of the exjw reddit pages.
a "hilarious" group photo.
another sign that this isnt the same religion we remembered of the 80s and 90s - and i dont mean that in a good, progressive way.. you can just smell the virginity oozing out of the front and back row.. .
At least this is a happy bunch. I went back to look at my pioneer class picture and everyone is as stiff as a board.
i heard there was a boe letter released this week that was 5 pages on guidelines for covid-19.
in it it tells everyone to stay at home as much as possible.
does anyone have access to this?
Poster by name Atlantis (Petra) usually get up the letters up.
