  But yet witnesses still have they're heads up they're asses when you talk of this sexual abuse.

  When I was a dub we were studying the REvelation book. My favorite thing to do was comment on false religion and how they abused people and covered it up... there were plenty of boxes exposing 'false religion's' handling of sex abuse cases.

  Who would have ever thought that the WTBTS, who was in a glass house, threw -stones. They are t-he original liars......

  sorry about the dashes. My cat is attacking the keyboard.

  One prayer that works for you.

  by Steve Lowry in

  1. jw

  admittedly, this thread is for believers.

  is there a prayer that when you pray it, you feel that it gets answered faithfully?

  for example, maybe when you?re afraid you pray for courage and you?re given it.

  Admittedly, this thread is for believers.

  Can you get any more cryptic? What the hell does that mean?

  God never answered one of my prayers. Not once. And I did everything that I could for that person.

  God is dead; and I don't care.

  Kind regards,

  Sham.

  Well, Talesin, (btw, nice to see you again)!!!

  I was in the hotel management business for a while. Let's just say that I am recovering from it like the witnesses, LOL!

  Wilst in the throws of that bullshit job, many people came in with car problems and we charged full price for they're rooms, and made them pay. It happened all the time. Not much you can do when a large group of people own a large hotel, I'm afraid.

  I am oficially retired from that business now. Thank god. Although they did just call me and ask me to work May Long Weekend working straight midnights!!!!, LOLOL! I couldn't stop laughing... as I asked them if they were out of they're mind.

  No, I won't be working may long weekend, I"m afraid.

  Got the lie whilst 19. Left about 8 years later due to my underlying depression being treated, and seeing what 'the truth' really was. Faded and will never ever return... one of the few things that can be guaranteed in this lifetime.

  no jw talk at all till the end of the conversation.

  It was probably more for your mother's behalf.

  One would have to believe so. It is odd behavior for the witnesses to give a dam about anyone but an active 'witness'.

  sometimes when i log on to jwd i go directly to "jokes and humor" because i know that there will be something there that will crack me up.

  i love to laugh and i think humor is great therapy especially when alot of us have been through so much.

  its great that we can make fun of ourselves and can find the humour in many of our experiences.

  I tend to find certain threads funny and persons characteristics on the internet funny. Having been one of them 100 percent, nobody can help get caught up thinking that this is real life and how people really think.

  Somedays this whole place makes me laugh.

  Okay, just one person named.

  It's not nice to laugh at other people's misfortune. In this case I'll make an exception...

  Wow.... treat people like you care about them... what a strange and new teaching! You must feel very good; most they could give a damm about, LOL! God help you if you go to the police about your child molestation case....

  If they hadn't treated me so bad I may never have gotten help for my underlying condition (depression) to get me out of that mess. Thank god they did treat me that way.
