The Prince conundrum
by ElderEtta in2 questions remain in the passing of brother prince:.
will an autopsy, that won't be made available for several weeks, reveal that he died of a drug overdose?.

Hallelujah, his sister is getting it all!!! I was actually so worried the society freaks would get millions. Lets hope Tyka isnt the least bit a JW sympathizer but that she loved the social causes her brother cared about. -

That is so interesting how he said prince was a Jehovah's witness and not ALLOWED to talk about all the humanitarian things he was doing!
We all know that he was a humanitarian DESPITE being a JW not because of it. But also he donated to social justice causes and knew he wasn't allowed to but did it anyway!!

Faith, where now?
by Theburstbubble inso for the first time ever i went to a church service at my local church (coe) and i have to say it was awful!
it was just like a ritual.
the vicar would say something and then the congregation would all say a phrase in unison back to him.

One can be both spiritual and religious if that is ones personality.
Worshipping in community feels really good to me. I absolutely love it. I know it's not for everyone. But if someone desires to do so, why suggest otherwise? As long as high control churches are avoided and you realize no church is filled with perfect people, it's lovely. I had no one but a few exwitness friends before I joined a new church. They are my family now.

TBB you didn't go to a church that was right for you, so keep looking. I will send you a PM about my experience, but different churches appeal to different people, and vary widely in their coverage of Scripture vs. Traditions. Sounds like you tried a Catholic one? Or Episcopalian since you mentioned vicar. I've been to an Episcopalian service that was not overly ritualistic, just right. But maybe you are in the UK and it was Anglican? -

Prince is dead.

It doesn't make much sense to me either, sparrow. But Prince has always been antiestablishment. Maybe going against the grain and joining a 'rebel' religion such as the witnesses would appeal to him. Plus he grew up Adventist which was a third of the way there. -

How About We Call It "The Trance" Instead of "The Truth"
by xjwsrock inlet's see if it works as a replacement in common phrases:.
"how long have you been in the trance?".
"when did you come into the trance?".

I once thought The Lies worked well, but The Trance is better...flows more easily off the tongue and shares consonants with the original. Plus that is the effect of brainwashing, they are hypnotized by this thing we have woken up from. Good suggestion and I'll try to remember to use it. -

Prince died from overdose?
by TweetieBird ini 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..

It remains to be seen but I feel bad for anyone who needed double hip surgery that couldn't get it. I can't imagine the pain he must have been in every single day and in that case it would have been easy to overdose on painkillers. These performers always want to come through for their fans and sometimes kill themselves doing it. -

It's just missing one thing...a ray of sunshine on him.
I love that everyone else is in the rain under their own umbrellas. They think it's raining SO bad, they've got to keep the umbrella open to keep out the worst of it. They don't realize the umbrella itself is causing the rain and darkness. Sometimes you've just got to say wait a minute and take an honest look around yourself and see that it's not what you thought it was. The moment of realization can be scary, thinking you are going to expose yourself to the storm. But then you realize...no, it's just free out here and it feels good. And hey, I can finally breathe!

A troubling visit with a satisfying end.
by Bonsai inso, i've been out for 2 years now.
just picked up and walked away from the wacky religion that tried to control every part of my life through fear and guilt.
i've been wondering as the months go by what would happen when an elder finally showed up at my door and pressed the issue as to why i ceased all activity and then tried to reactivate me.

Nice post, bonsai. I hope your face didn't visibly light up TOO brightly at this news!
I'm curious tho why they would sell a Hall that has 3 active congregations in it. Are the groups small enough they are combining them before adding them to the other Hall? Was it more a money problem or a waning publisher problem?
