  i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

  the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

  so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

Let's see how insane they can get and maybe the JW's will even believe some of them? Who knows? Anyway it's a bit of fun.

  Here's mine; Prince had all new tailor made suits made for the GB before he died, all in his trademark purple... Coming to you on a jw broadcast soon!

  Your turn... Can you do better?

  Did Jesus really suffer? Really?

  so over the course of three days he had a trial which doesn't seem to have bothered him much.

  he got whipped ok that would have been agony and then put on a torture stake/ cross/ whatever yes that would have been hell.

  but he was on it for a day and the whole thing lasted for three days.

  Great, so I get up this morning to discover that my thread has been hijacked. Can we get back to the original subject please?

  I remember when I was mentally in, thinking to myself could I go through the same things that Jesus did? Well I'd been coming from his same perspective (alive since beginning of time) and if I'd known like he did that I'd be resurrected in three days and then glorified for the rest of my days then yeah. No matter what pain it involved I reckon I could suffer anything if I had that to cling on to.

  So apparently prince wrote most of the songs in the new song book...

  or so says the jw's around me who heard it from someone who apparently "knows".

  i'm no expert in the music of prince so perhaps someone else can tell me, does the songs of the wt sound similar to princes work?.

During the whole time he knew that it was for a noble cause (apparently) and that he would be resurrected once he died. He also knew his reward would be to rule over the universe too.

  Now compare that to someone who spends years with cancer, getting weaker and weaker with the pain getting worse and worse, with their body packing up and living with the indignity of it all. Knowing all the while that once their dead no one will give them a second shot at life.

  Does it really compare?

  the Guardians of Doctrine - What was your view of GB 1.0?

  by berrygerry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i was an all-in, younger, somewhat uber-dub - i envisioned the governing body as spending 16 to 18 hours a day at the bethel library, with their noses in the bible and associated research books.

  sky-j was propelling his holy spirit directly at them, maybe opening the book to the right page or paragraph, and zap, new light.. when i learned that these dudes only met on wednesday mornings, for as little as 10 minutes, and spent the rest of their time managing and traveling, it was quite a letdown.. anyone have such thoughts of our guardians of doctrine?.

  When I was a child I thought that the GB went into a room on their own and that Jehovah would speak to them directly, drama style, a big booming voice telling them what to put in the mags.

  It was a great disappointment to learn that they just decided that's all, and even just voted on doctrine.

  Prince tried to make a recruitment film for jw's?

  by purrpurr in

  2. friends

  i've read in an article on that in 2001 prince wanted director kevin smith to make a movie based on his album the rainbow children.

  but the director dropped out when he realised that it was going to be a recruitment film for jw's including flashing messages on screen like "jesus christ is god's son" etc.

  has anyone else heard this before?

  Sounds like prince thought he was giving a great witness and was probably putting the people there off the JW's big time!

  Has anyone else heard this before? It sounds like they were planning to use subliminal messages which if true is extremely unethical. It makes me wonder if the JW's use it in their own films?
