  Falling asleep whilst praying..

  when i believed in jehovah(tm), i'd pray to him at night.

  i'd doze off.. i remember admonition from the podium that it was disrespectful to doze off during our personal prayers to imaginary sky god jehovah(tm).. i'd wake up.

  say sorry to jehovah(tm) then either carry on grovelling or just end it.. one thing's for sure, asleep or awake, pray or not it makes no difference........no one's listening!.

  Punkofnice - I agree with your first post, no ones listening. Whenever I prayed when I was a el'dub'io I never once felt that anyone was listening then, I always felt I was doing it wrong but it never seemed to me there was anyone there.

  the man who spent 27 years in prison in his relentless effort to free south africa from apartheid has passed at 94.. he sought peace, understanding and tolerance in his efforts to reconcile the nation and the peoples of south africa.

  he learned the africaaners language his captors spoke to be able to communicate and share his ideas for a better future.

  when ronald reagan and margaret thatcher wanted him to remain in prison mandela forgave them.

  He's not dead. Not looking amazing for him but he's still alive at the moment.

  Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!

  so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!

  first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.

  he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

  a change the society is going to make on Thursday night meetings, can someone confirm this for me?

  my mother gets a call from a dear friend in the midwest.

  and this friend begins to tell my mom that her kids who attend congregations in california were told that there "thursday night meeting" or the "theocratic ministry school" is being somewhat cancelled, and that it will be considered "family night".

  this would start sometime in the next couple of months.. the reason for this change is to entice the younger generation, because there is a dramatic decrease in attendence at the meetings, and that this in some way would help them to have more interest.. what are your thoughts?

  I'd be surprised if that happened. I'd be delighted if they just cancelled the meetings altogether...

  Brilliant video, calm and just said it how it is. To think I used to sit and listen to that garbage and not really think about what I was listening to.

  i think people who are sincere and watch ApostateChick's video will know that was from the heart and there was no lies, except the ones she was exposing. Well done Stephanie.

  once when i was profoundly sad for too many days, my brother in law sent us a mix tape.

  he named each song after a person in our family.

  this is the one he named heather.
