I realize people hear lack faith, Can't change them, but may this will help
by jw inthe apostle paul told the christians in the ancient city of philippi: "this is what i continue praying, that your love may abound yet more and more with accurate knowledge and full discernment.

similarly, accurate knowledge is needed for you to be motivated to believe in god.

C.S.I. Bridesmaids
by Poztate ini was watching csi (crime scene investigation) with my wife last night.
the crime scene was at a wedding and a remark was made to the effect that the"historic" purpose of bridesmaids was to ward off evil spirits.
google turned up this comment amongst others.... choosing your bridesmaids.

Just wondering?
by beautifulisfree ini was wondering why the wts uses 'pagan origins' as an excuse to not celebrate most holidays?
when everyday life is filled with things of 'pagan origins'.
just the other night i was watching csi las vegas and it told the backround of bridesmades....(to protect the bride from evil spirits and they dress slightly like the bride so as to try to fool the evil spirits) and wedding rings are 'pagan' to.

Disfellowshipped but sister in the 'truth' to be married soon
by cyberdyne systems 101 injust wanted to start a topic on an event that will occur sometime later this year - namely my sister is to be married.
she is a witness as is her boyfriend, none of his family are in but only myself and my dad are not (he has never joined) from my sister imediate family.
so i was wondering what to expect, what experiences people here have had being someone who has left and then later been disfellowshipped, and then finding they might be invited to a witness wedding?

Have you ever had a prayer answered?
by nicolaou inprayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!
seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?
what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?
