JW or otherwise, his send off will be awesome!
So sad to see people that have the whole world and find no real joy, no peace, and end up harming themselves. Curious phenomena in the world of 'stars'. Sad.๐ค

i just saw where the emergency landing that prince made several days ago in moline was due to an opiate overdose.
this came from tmz and sounded pretty credible.
if true, just curious if he would still be given a jw funeral, if that is what he wanted..

i'm sure prince has already been talked about to death on this site, but a jw family member just liked a video posted by a jw group on facebook that is an interview of prince about his conversion to jw.
it's the comments made by jws that this post is about.. prince was a great artist!
and the world has lost a musical genius in my opinion, but he lost me after he converted.
According to Romans, death is the payment and absolution of our sins. Based on the biblical account that just and unjust alike will be resurrected, we cannot say a certain person will not be resurrected. It is God's business, so it is wise to rest up all assumptions.

by a journalist, can't remember her name, but he turned down the operation because of the blood issue, she said he was hoping that perhaps their was another way to correct the problem.
i certainly hope that one line woke some of his many fans about the jws.
If this is the case, he sure did not do his investigation.
There have been all sorts of procedures, hip replacement included, done bloodless. Perhaps there will be education about this and many other bloodless procedures rather than the anti-JW bias.
Either way, may he rest in peace. His struggles are over.

"itโs official: secretary of the treasury jack lew has announced that abolitionist harriet tubman will replace president andrew jackson on the $20 bill.
and, while jackson will still reportedly remain on the reverse side of the bill, the move is nonetheless a momentous one.. .
"naturally there are many people who will complain about this decision, but since tubmanโs legacy leading slaves to freedom through the underground railroad is beyond reproach, these critics will most likely turn to defending jackson.
Excellent! What took the powers that be so long?!
Perhaps when the Canadian-Hispanic Cruz becomes president we can get a Hispanic in one of the currency bills.
Eventually, there should be an Oriental/Asian, a Native American, a Hindu, a Middle Eastern, one of each of the great races which make up this awesome nation.

at no time did the elders ever mention apostasy.
days later after a shepherding call which only covered child abuse handling they are being marked as if they are trying to get their own followers etc.
so so sad.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ktm7fsqwrw.
Wow. Better make good plans because, as a JW, you're gone!๐

before i left a number of years ago i remember getting bombarded with the message that we shouldn't have children as it wasn't fair to them.
they would have to grow as conditions got worse during the end.
is there anything in the literature or was this just through talks.
Not much is said directly anymore, but certainly implied.

the book costs 140.00, but i bought it.
i agree with dr. de vienne's review.
What can possibly be in a book about JWs that I do not already know?! Pleeeaaaase!!!
I predict it will be a flop in sales.
140???!!!

i think that's the correct phrase?
anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.
now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.
My favorite cat ever!!!
Couldn't care less about what goes on around him, just feed me my fat ass and leave me alone to relax.๐
Same attitude I have about the Org.

i have been wondering why your organization cannot accept evolution?
(when i say "cannot accept" i mean: you see it as anti christian) the reason i'm so curious about this is because by putting this here i hope to get smarter answers than i usually get, and also because you don't seem to put things like quantum theory, string theory, under the "evil scary scientific stuff label", also many religions have accepted evolution as most likely possible, or as something that is ok to believe since god could have used evolution to create mankind, in fact evolution isn't a "religion" and automatically doesn't get you labeled as an atheist, unless you are talking to the wrong person.
i am by no means trying to make you believe in evolution, i will respect you views, i believe every man has free will, well it kind of says it in the bible.
JWs believe in creation.
"In the beginning, God created......"
How about reading up on it at JW.org to get the real JW story about their beliefs, instead of coming here to disgruntled cyber-land?!

"from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

Today's music and artists are awful, for the most part. ๐
