  Did/Does God answer your prayers?

  by song19 in

  2. friends

  in my spiritual journey, which includes trying to decide if i still believe in god anymore or not i am beginning to question if god listened to my prayers or even answered them.

  i think i had a track record of praying more when i needed something.

  terrible i know.

  I agree with your comments milligal, it's amazing how long it can control you even long after you leave. I also had the "mindmelt" as you refer to it.

  Some single older women in bad circumstances

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am saddened and angry to observe the pitiful situation some of my jw single female friends are in.

  they are over 40 and have little work record, hardly any money and in some instances compromised health issues.

  i am angry because these women were waiting for armageddon to come and save them.

  Any actually embarrased to admit they were Witnesses?

  by Robert7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was active, i was always (usually) proud to talk about being a jw, our faith, reasons for our stupid beliefs on birthdays, x-mas, etc.

  now with everything i'm going through, given how much of an impact this is to my life, i want to talk to others about it, like coworkers, and other friends.

  but thinking about how i would explain how it's a mind-controlling cult, i feel stupid for falling for it.

  I don't tell anyone except for a select few people that are very close to me and I know they would never judge me. I don't discuss it though. It's embarrassing and I always think people will think less of me, or that I will lose some of my credibility with them if they find out.

  State Truthful Facts About JWs That Make Them Look Bad, Weird, Foolish

  by minimus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you don't need to exaggerate the foibles of jws to get the point across that they are not "the truth".

  can you state some facts that show that jehovah's witnesses are not "normal' and that their religion is weird and simply abnormal?.

  Where do I begin?? Well the fact that they shun those that leave the org. is one of them. Also, that those that are not JW's are refered to as "worldly". That always made me feel weird.
