I found this factoid on Wiki interesting, not that it's relevant to your thread. I wonder if Drake is a JW? Ahahaha, nothing would surprise me.
.
Graham is the father of singer/songwriter and producer Darric Graham. He is also the uncle of the Canadian rapper and actor Aubrey Drake Graham, better known as Drake.
This must have been about 10-15 or so years ago. . . .
Friends of ours from NJ moved out to Minnesota and their new hall at the time was Prince's hall (this was just around (maybe slightly before) the time he started in the cult).
From what I recall, they said Larry Graham was a MS and -- according to these folks -- a really nice, down to earth guy.
Prince, however, was weird.
Again according to them, he would come into the meeting just as it started and sit down right in the front row with a small entourage. After the meeting, he did not mingle with the congregation, but talked only to Graham and a few select bros. He would then quickly leave without making any eye contact with the rest of publishers.
Graham walked a thin line back in the day as a JW. There were brothers who figured if
he can get away with his life style so can I and remain a JW. I guess it didn't work for
the ones I know, they fell by the way side.
Compton was in my circuit. Some people were dressed as this and even more flamboyant. I've seen brothers in head to toe orange, lime green you name it...hat and all. Sisters the same.
I went on Graham's website and I saw he was playing at an Atlantic City casino. I thought that was odd, nothing wrong with it in my book, but still think it's odd for an elder...the "example" s**t and all. Again..doesn't bother me...
Dagney: My uncle was a elder in the Watts( near Compton) congregation before he passed and there
was a big difference in the dress code in that KH. LOL
My uncle told me, do you think anyone would think about visiting the KH if you
dressed in the door to door work looking like the pictures in the WT and awake of folks.
You need a little style in our area.
James, are you saying they weren't as colorful?
Maybe, they dressed like that for the conventions. I have no idea, but there were some amazing dressers...ladies included...head to toe.
