Ok how many of you while a JW took the advice to pray on a problem and then open the Bible and start reading. Did you seem to get "just the right scripture" that answered your prayer? They encouraged that where I was. The Bible brings comfort, pray on a matter and read the Bible. If you fall for that is it such a leap to accept that the FDS/GOV BODY can do the same but even more effectively when they are anointed and chosen? Did you ever fall into this trap? Know of any JW's who did this? I did it for awhile, amazing what gnawing inner turmoil can find in random picking through the Word of God, lol. Now its just nuts to think I ever thought that was an anwer. Ok discuss.

Easy to believe the FDS gets direction from God if you do this. Did you?

No more missionaries, time for the children to step up and accept all liability. Its the best life ever for the JW.org because they wont have to pay for the shipping of the body back home or for the children that some freak molests in the foreign country as their representative. Duh.

What Watchtower Belief/View Never Sat Right With You?
by minimus inbut their views on blood are just plain weird!
meat has blood in it even if it's bled.
still eating meat means consuming blood.

The view that we were to accept any "Bible teaching" that might be related to our health and be ready to die for it even though that teaching could change at any time, ie: Transfusion ban to parts ok, transplants are cannibalism to they are fine, etc. I lost trust in thier Biblical expositions on that BS. And how many GB memebers had to refuse a blood transusion anyway?

Does anyone remember the excuse they used in 1979-1980
by Crazyguy inback in 79-80 they came out with another wt stating quite clearly that jesus was not the mediator for most jw's and of course this upset quite a few and some asked "if jesus is not my mediator then how does god hear my prayers?
' does anyone remember what they said to answer this question?.

Though they dont give Jesus his biblical storybook due, they at least stick to the tradition of praying in Jesus name. Haven't you hear these gems:
"through the name of our ransom and redeemer, Jesus Christ" or "our king and redeemer, Jesus Christ"? I have heard this said by rote so many times it became a chant for some. Ugh.
These days I prefer the good ol' "Over the teeth and through the gums, watch out stomach, here it comes!"

SECRET SIGN FOR FADERS
by Bob_NC infaders need a secret sign to use at the khall.
the thought came to me after reading replies to datadogs post on stopping singing at the meetings.. i can suggest a few secret signs for faders to use and to look for at the khall, but it would be better that current meeting attenders make suggestions here.
if readers on this site can agree to a secret sign to use at the meetings, just imagine the power that would have at your kingdom hall.

The best way to identify the Fader is that they are the one who isn't there. Duh.

The Lord works in mysterious ways FHN! Or maybe he was caught by the current? Or maybe thats the only way to get the immigration officer involved?
