  JW Wrongdoers Unable To Pray?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  my dad, who was po of several different largish congregations at varying times, sat on a number of jc's during his lifetime.. he maintained that alleged wrongdoers confessed to being unable to pray to jehovah between committing the actual sin and appearing before a jc.. he told me that this was invariably the case and that confessing wrongdoers felt a great sense of relief after appearing before a jc because they were able to pray once more.. totally unable to pray..psychological, perhaps?.

  I couldn't be bothered to pray after a couple of years, it felt like a waste of time. Why would Jehavah need to hear from me all the time, he must get sick of it. :)

  i'm an outsider who was once told by someone at the local kh that the whole cong.

  was abuzz with activity because the co was there to visit that particular week.

  the whole meeting schedule was changed for the week, people were putting extra hours in service, etc.

  I have used Abebooks.co.uk a couple of times with no problems. Handy site, especially for those in the USA, where most of the books I want seem to be! :)

  :When I was a dub, I always felt guilty because I couldn't understand all that "spiritually deep." I didn't stop to consider the fact that God is not supposed to be a God of confusion and was only a God for those priviledged few who could understand those "deeper" things. :
  
  It was exactly the same for me. I used to study this stuff and think that there was something wrong with
  me because I just couldn't seem to make sense of any of it. Now I realise it was just total and utter bollocks.

  We had a husband and wife who were 'of the annointed' in our cong. The husband died quite a time before the wife and she grew very old and frail. She lived next to the KH and the witnesses rigged up a cable so she could listen to the meetings from the comfort of her own home. From what I gather she didn't hold back from giving the elders a piece of her mind if she thought they were out of line. :)

  Threw Away My Last JC Penny's Suit Tonight...

  by Confucious in

  kind of a milestone of sorts.

  not that there is anything wrong with a jc penny's suit.

  it's just that this was the "status quo" kind.

  I can remember quite a few things from my early childhood but one that sticks in my mind when I was about 3 or 4 getting ill and being paralysed from the waist down. I can vividly recall pushing myself up between 2 chairs swinging my rubbery legs underneath me and watching them collapse when I tried to stand. :)

  If it's a crow in a crowd it's a rook. If it's a rook on it's own it's a crow. :)

  I prefer silence or maybe some quiet classical music.
