There have been no instances of it.
Christians who have felt that their prayers have been answered in some way or
another. So you have no evidence, other than, because you say it does not happen,
many thanks.

the thing that p***es me off most about all this sanctimonious crap about praying to save somebodies life. is if robbie, galv, google and fmf were there when it happend. robbie and galv would stand and pray and google and fmf would risk there lives and fight the guy. when it comes to the crunch - who is it that really cares?

Originally posted by robbie carrobie3. Proper Knob, have counselled her to refrain from crying because there are far
I remember the Dunblane massacre of innocent children. I was working in a house
at the time, a child minder, was crying. when i asked her why she was crying she
related the details of the Dunblane massacre. such was her compassion, such was
her fellow feeling that she was moved to tears for the mothers of those victims and
their families, ...[text shortened]... sting and significant that one of the victims was a Jehovahs witness
as was the women herself.
more cancer victims to worry about and this matter was insignificant by comparison
Where did i say anything remotely of the sort? Why are you making stuff up again?

Originally posted by stellspalfieJW's are forbidden from violence by their governing body; perhaps the scenario you present here painfully highlights the problematical position with adopting such a belief.

In fact some time ago I asked the JWs directly if they would use violence as a last resort to defend the life of a loved one; you can imagine the flow of thread that ensued.

I'll be in touch Robbie as the news comes in the next few days.
further, you assessment of those symptoms being fulfilled by anyone here is flawed, unless you are applying it to yourself.

the request is to pray to a god who knew this would happen; who had the ability to stop it from happening and who stood by and allowed it to happen without lifting a finger to help. and now we have to pray to this disgusting creature to return the victim unharmed?
that is the sad part of this ordeal. if you want to help, get over there and start searching. prayers are as useful as an a$$hole on your elbow.

Originally posted by boononFortunately there is no need to pray for me thanks boonon, i'm as healthy as can be.
I have, a good friend of mine is in stage 4. I prayed for him today.
As I stated before, I cannot explain why God answers some and not all.
Are you dying from stage 4 cancer as my good friend is? I would like to pray for you also.
