Who do you pray when you feel the need to pray if you dont believe in God?
by cyberjesus insometimes when we face difficult situations i feel the need to pray to god for help, and i know that plenty of times the sole act of praying makes you feel hope and have a better outcome of the situation.
you can call it suggestive or that you prepare a positive scenario by using faith.
the outcome is that regardless if there is someone who listens or not to your prayers oftentimes you feel better afterwards and have more positive attitude.. the problem is that i dont believe in god anymore.

Conventions/Assemblies in England
by ScottyRex indoes anyone remember haysbridge, crystal palace, twickenham, dorking from the 80's/90's.........so many memories there.
the 5p lunch vouchers, the aroma of bacon rolls and hot doughnuts at twickenham, the smell of coffee as 50,000 odd opened their thermos flasks at lunchtime.
walking around endless laps of the perimeter of the stadium at break times, watching the airplanes flying low over twickenham stadium en route to heathrow.. cinema style seats at dorking assembly hall, the baptismal pool built into the stage, flapping my hands in the water and getting told off.

WTS Internet is bad - quotes in print from the publications
by besty inthought it would be a useful exercise to create a thread with a list of as many as possible official 'in print' quotes about avoiding the internet.. not 'well a co said at our assembly last week we shouldn't be on facebook'.
this will be a great resource for anti-witnessing anytime we come across jw's online - by their own words we condemn them..... any takers to get us started.....<i don't have a cd-rom otherwise i would get going.....>.

Did you swear when you were a JW?
by St George of England ini have noticed that quite a few people here swear and use profanity.
an elder once told me this is quite common in the congregations he has been in.
i was raised in so never allowed to swear and never got into the habit.

What had its beginning in the Garden of Eden?
by wannabe inwhat had its beginning in the garden of eden?.
we know that right at its outset ancient jerusalem, was representative of the throne of jehovah, that all of his chosen kings sat on the throne of jehovah in that city.
a scripture that the governing body of jehovah's witnesses has used to back up their claim that jerusalem was the throne of jehovah, found at jeremiah 3:17 although, on the one hand, would apply to ancient jerusalem, but a close reading of that entire scripture would appear the be saying something other than what might appear to be the case.
