How do I hear/feel God?
by doinmypart inthis is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.
i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

Will smartphone/internet access lead to JW declines in Africa?
by doinmypart insamsung expects to grow the african smartphone market up to 20% within a year.
with the smartphone people have greater access to the internet.
i know many of the developing countries in africa have limited infrastructure and access to electricity, but i would think companies like samsung have plans in place to build up the market.. do you think enough phones (and subsequent internet access) will rollout to cause an impact on jw numbers in africa?

Disney lifts beard ban. When will WTS?
by doinmypart indisney has finally lifted their 55-year beard ban.
in conversations, an elder/relative would use disney as an example of a business that prohibited beards to help justify the wts anti-beard stance.
i wonder if the wts will ever lift their beard ban in the u.s. and other places.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/24/disney-lifts-beard-ban-workers?newsfeed=true.

My Marriage Ending...Or Other Options
by doinmypart ini don't usually post regarding my personal relationship, but i need some help.. i've been married for 20+ years (married young, both of us raised as witnesses), and my wife and i have kids.
my wife feels like i've disappointed her, made a fool of her, and betrayed her when i stopped being a witness.
other than the witness-thing we seem to have a pretty good marriage, but she can't get over the fact that i'm never going to be a witness again.
