If you don't follow the WB&TS you will be told that God doesn't even hear your prayers.
Whoa! Hold it...I understand where your coming from there JB, but did that make it to print?

Souls Under the Altar
by cameo-d inhow long do you think it will be until there is a tipping point, when the majority of the population realizes the scam of religions?.
do you think there is a plan in place to try to stop this from happening?.

I suppose the ones who are left sitting in the pews will be manipulated to lean in another, more inclusive direction.
There are many, in their ignorance, that would choose death.

Perhaps it is the guise of global "oneness".
How does the title of your thread relate to your questions Cameo?

Hello Ian. You sound like a guy after my own heart, or perhaps I am after yours. It would be great if you stuck around here, as there are many "truth seekers" such as yourself that post here on this board. Most people who join into the JW
way of life are very different than the way you present yourself. YOU WILL be accepted with open arms, big smiles, and big love. For someone who has never "felt" this bombardment before, it is often different than anything else they felt in times
s gone by, and really, who doesn't want to be loved? With a world full of broken hearts and sad people, it's hard to see though the "love",and not see it for what it really is. Superficiality. There are only two kinds to the JW mentality. Those who fall
in line with doctrinal thinking, and those who don't. When you stand up and confront the "love", by asking questions in which your heart seeks , you'll be left wondering what it was exactly that you felt in the first place. Please don't let me be one
to dissuede you, it seems apparent to me this is something you have to do for yourself. PLEASE come bck here and share it along the way.

Zoned out ' friends.'
by strawberry cake inthis is a note i got from an old 'friend' when i contacted her on facebook.
she was one of my closest jw 'friends' who shunned me, yet would greet me if she saw me in town or at an event.
i thought she had some independent thought: i was wrong.

Hello Cake. I can relate to your post, as i have and continue to be torn towards friends who hold on to a similar mentality. You took the time out to contact her, and that shows your feelings towards her...does it make you sad to not have thing reciprocated the way you may have hoped?

1000 years is 1 day to God....what would right RIGHT NOW possibly be on his scale?
by lurk3r ini heard a saying once..."time is gods way of keeping everything from happening at all at once.
" hence the question.. .

Thanks for that quote of scripture Nathan, and subsequent explanation. Also for making sense of my "senseless" question. That was well thought out indeed. I have never been able to think of time as a "creation". How about yourself? Could you take a stab at explaining? You seem to have a way with words.
Thanks Elsewhere...Im going to have to see what that even means.
You bet TS, I have HEARD that scripture many times used in such a way. REreading it just now, shows me how out of context it has been used. arrrgh.
I remember seeing a LDS commercial on TV a while back. While I don't remember the commercial in itself, I remember the closing line of the commercial. "Isn't it about time?" . Most likely i guess they may have been encouraging former members to get off their arses or sumtin.
