"we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.
the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

Why do they appear to make massive concessions when it comes to celebrities?
Prince, the Williams sisters ?? They seem to get away with far more than you or I could ever dream of getting away with. Fashion, lifestyle choices, career choices.
The WT are friggin hypocites they will bend the rules depending on how much money you bring in, it's that simple.
It's a scam people, wake up!
a japanese sister who recently woke up revealed me that she became extremely suspicious about the organization after reading watchtower article .oct.15 2015page31.
.
Imagine the jw broadcast being hijacked with clips of key moments during the ARC victim testimonies and elder reponses.
The announcement that followed would go something like.....
JW broadcast has been cancelled until further notice due to the appearance of facts.
We apologize for the appearance of these pesky facts and are doing all we can to ensure this type of factual difficulty never appears again.
has anyone heard about this?
that really sucks.
lots of dubs are talking.
I'm saddened by this news. A talented, sensitive man gone too soon.
Just wish he had woken up and given WT a big public middle finger before he died.
who cares?.
the first time i was in distress with the watchtower, i was fortunate to find this place.
my ego thought ,i was somehow special, that my posts were reaching a worldwide audience, and most of all i felt at ease, maybe home is a better word.
hey there, .
i have an apologetics website, and i've recently posted three articles on jw doctrine.
i was wondering if you all could make suggestions to improve them, or for new content.
Why are you interested in targeting JWs?
Also, don't be too flattered by the two witnesses you know "commending you for your Bible knowledge" they say that to everyone. They flatter people in the hopes of recruiting them, funny that you fell for it - just a heads up btw.
so i was scrolling through the latest morning worship videos and found our good friend tony m. explaining why the gb is not dogmatic.

Introducing Dogmatic he only raps about dogma.
it's been a long time since i attended, but i understand that many of you still go to the kingdom hall for your various reasons.. a huge thing that helped me in my mentally breaking from their beliefs was to stop using their terms that put you, virtually automatically, into their thought mode.. using terms like "the truth," jw's feel special about themselves and this helps them separate themselves from "the world.
" by incorporating loaded language, jw's learn not to think, but merely to memorize words and phrases instead of analyzing a situation.. the reasons someone misses meetings is because they are "spiritually weak.
" they might be involved in "worldly thinking.".
The loaded language is how you tell a true believer from a weak christian. I remember getting counseled by a group of older sisters at the KH becuse I greeted them as "ladies" rather than "sisters" WTH!
My reply " ok, ok you're not ladies then." Lol.

ToMo using the Witness dictionary where words mean whatever Jehovah wants them to mean.
don't normally waste time watching these but this one caught my eye as it was obvious what the subject matter would be about..... http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201604_2_video.
mark sanderson: accept change with faith and confidence (heb.
basically sanderson is giving a pep talk to all those that have new assignments changed.
Yet, they are still selling the idea of Bethel as a career to the very young children.
Shameless, these men are shameless.
