Does Jehovah Listen To Worldly Prayers?
by jayhawk1 indoes jehovah listen to worldly prayers?
when you was a jw, did you think jehovah ever listened to the prayers of the worldly?
aside from those "experiences" of people praying for the true religion only to have a couple out in service knock on their door seconds later, did you believe jehovah listen to other non-jw prayers?.

How do I deal with my hatred?
by nicolaou ini know that thousands of you have gone through the same thing i'm facing but right now it doesn't help.
i know that some of you have faced much worse - losing family through the blood issue or having to deal with abuse and i know that in comparison my problems may seem not so severe but as bad as it sounds knowing all that just doesn't matter right now.. it started yesterday and there's no stopping it, the official shunning.
one member of the family right now will see the month end with me losing my sisters, brother and my mum.. i love them and i know that in a sense they are victims too but i just cannot reach them.

THE BACK PEDDLING HAS ALREADY BEGUN......
by Mary inas i mentioned before in another thread, my dub aunt, along with several other witnesses, told me that they were specifically told that the governing body let it be known that tract work would trigger the beginning of the end by infuriating the other religions and somehow causing the governments to "turn on babylon the great".
this was supposed to start before the end of this year.
one thing i mentioned is that they were smart enough this time, not to put anything down in writing, but simply let it get around by "word of mouth".

The term apostate is used freely on this forum, don't you find it offensive
by avidbiblereader ini find the term apostate used freely towards those who have left the org, by both witnesses hiding and also ex witnesses calling themselves that.
don't you find that offensive.
i have been out for over 6 years and the last thing i consider myself is an apostate.

my wife would not move this went on for the next 2 years she said she was coming down then she said she need to finish up something at work .

The Study of Light
by Apostate Kate inrecently i did some research on "light".
it fascinated me that there are several greek words used but merely the one in english.. jwv phos foce from an obsolete phao (to shine or make manifest, especially by rays; compare 5316, 5346); luminousness (in the widest application, natural or artificial, abstract or concrete, literal or figurative):--fire, light.. matthew 4:16-17 the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.
" from that time, jesus began to preach, and to say, "repent!
