I saw the show too and found the way they spoke more of like the 700 club folks, not jws. They agreed to do the surgery with the machine, at least that is what I thought they said. In the end the husband forgave the wife . I just found the way they spoke so odd- it clearly showed that the writers only had a superficial knowledge of jws. -

Today's Study - Shun Disfellowshipped Family, Don't Marry Outsiders, Tell On Others!
by Divergent inurghhh... what a disgusting study!7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
the mother wanted to visit anne because she felt pained by her isolation from the family.

The local churches ( in my area) are actually similar to jws in shunning. They may not be quite as strict but this area is a stronghold of Pentecostal and similar type religions and they practice DF'ing too.
I would love to live somewhere that people only went to church on Sunday and people did not care what you did the rest of the week. That does not exist in my area, a very strict fundamental Christian area.
I saw a jw in a department store the other day and at first I did not recognize them but when I did they averted their eyes and went on by. I am not DF'd. It is fairly well known that I hate everything the WTBS stands for, however.
I have thought about attending another church but I'm pretty sure that they are waiting for me to do that so they can DF me. Maybe I could attend outside my area. It is a smallish town.

Here is what kind of person (Prince) a celebrity JW is

I'm sure he was in pain, reports of hip problems and I do believe he had Aids. He was not very big person, 5'2 and thin. It would be easy for him to accidently overdose. I used to have take opiates for chronic pain and I'd forget I had taken a dose and take another. Your mind gets really blurry. I used to write down in a notebook when I took pills to prevent accidental overdose. I finally tapered off the pills and now use steroid injections and other procedures to keep pain under control.
Prince seemed like a decent person, so sorry his life ended this way.

Prince was on the board of directors for the WTS
by Barrold Bonds ini was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.
apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.
he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.

I found another really good link with some Prince interviews from the past. Note the video is not playing all that well , at least on face book.
