  Weird Prayer at Last Year's DC - GB Worship

  by LostGeneration in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  at the last dc i will ever attend in 09' some elder was called up to do the morning prayer.

  i dont recall him being introduced as a co or anything thats why i say elder.. he starts off slowly and 20 seconds in i realize this is his moment of glory, giving a prayer at the dc and he is going to take his sweet time.

  i know the closing prayers are like at least 5 or 10 minutes, but this guy is going to kick off the morning with a long rambling diatribe..... so part way in he gets to the "slave" and he starts naming them off one by one.....ya know thanks for splane, pierce, barr, loesch....so on and so on....til he gets through them all.

  How do you deal with shunning ?

  by man in black in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i da'ed ourselves two years ago.

  she left because she felt there was no forward momentum in the congregation.. me: because i really started to notice the lack of love and concern amoungst "true christians".

  we have gotten to the point now where we will say hello to any jw's we run into, but the total avoidance thing is starting to get somewhat creepy to me.. example : my wife was in target several weeks ago, put her items on the belt and was getting ready to checkout.

  My daughter asked me this today.

  by thenoblelodge in

  2. bible

  she asked me why god didn't step in to stop tragedies.

  for example, recently twin baby girls were attacked in their cots while their parents were down stairs.

  both suffered life changing injuries.. my daughter knows a couple who have waited years for a baby and eventually had i.v.f.
