God has answered a prayer or two of mine...The best one was on a Meeting night. I was supposed to give a talk...about forgiveness. but, that night at supper my parents told me I could no longer hang out with my best friend because of something bad she had done. I was soo sad and crying non-stop. So, I prayed that I didn't have to give my talk or even go to the meeting. That night at about 7 pm an elder called and said the meeting was cancelled!! Trust me it had to be God since that cong NEVER cancels and I didn't even notice that it was even snowing out that night!

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?

I am going to Schne_belly's house for dinner. YUMMY I didn't know we were having Italian. Maybe go un-witnessing? We'll have to wait and see....since all of the robots are going to be at the satanic ritual.

DEAREST LeftBehind,
I am jumping up and down with joy....we are all so happy when someone breaks free!! I am glad you found out the truth. When you first come out it is a hard battle. It's like starting your life over again. Trying to figure out what you believe in and the emotions you go through are CRAZY but it gets better. Hope your life is full of joy and love and I wish you the best of luck in the future!!

I'm in love with a Jehovah Witness, Is it really a losing battle?
by icon ini have been reading all of the feed back for saddler and the others.
i too have been in a relationship with a jw for a little over a year.
i love her very much but all the abuse i have taken over the pass year from her elders, uncles, grandfather...etc has really taken it's toll on me.

I am glad my 'worldy' husband didn't listen to all his friends/family and get out of our witness/non-witness relationship. However, I never wanted a hall wedding or did I ever care what the congergation thought of me. If your girlfriend wants a hall wedding she is basically saying that she wants you to become a witness and a very spititual one at that...it is absolutly true that if you even became a witness today and got married it could NOT be in the hall. I suggest buying a copy of CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE by Raymond Franz and accidently leave it out....if she sees it and goes ballistic then I would get out of the relationship...because there is no way you will win this battle . I just wish my husband would of shown or known about the book right away in our relationship so we didn't have to go through such he!!.

Puke-making article on WTS homepage
by yaddayadda in"discipline that yields peaceable fruit".
http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1988/4/15/article_01.htm.
notice the blatant abuse of context in saying that the 'no greeting' treatment to be given at 2 john 9-11 (persons bringing an anti-christ teaching to your home) should be the same as 1 cor 5 (persons who wilfully practice sins of the flesh).

Happens all the time here...at the bars (ssssh) Now we have more friends who understand what we are going through!! Most of them just left on their own..not knowing it wasn't the truth. So, its fun to tell them all the stuff we learned and most of them are willing to listen.

JWs as spouses for "worldly" people
by greendawn indo you think a jw man or woman would make a better spouse for someone compared to a "wordly" person?
not that many jws would want to marry non jws but it would be interesting to discuss such an issue to see what comes up.
some may argue that a jw spouse is more likely to be loyal and gentle but there are also many pitfalls with jws.

Hey I married a 'worldy' guy...He was more normal then any witness guys I dated. And a better person just in general then any witness boy. He brought a balance to my life and made me see 'worldy' people are normal and not to be feared.
