Interesting Prince quote from current Entertainment Weekly (yes, another Prince thread)
by OutsiderLookingIn inthis weekend, i was reading my cousin's hard copy of the entertainment weekly prince tribute (may 6, 2016 issue) and came across a very interesting quote.
ew journalist leah greenblatt, who conducted the last major magazine interview with prince in august 2015, recounted him saying: "religion is beautiful as long as you don't become a fanatic and start shutting other people out, other ideas.
prince may have still been a jw, but it sounds like he had a very open-minded approach to it.

I also thought the way they presented the alcoholic who came in with DT's was abysmal . The nurse was so judging and treated him with contempt. They ordered him 1 mg of Ativan and I was shocked. I worked in Addiction and Adult Psych for quite a while and DT's are a very serious .. They use all sorts of meds for this and 1 mg of Ativan is not likely to do very much. A nurse ended up giving him a drink and while I agree with her that he has to want to quit, still in real life she would have been fired. I never heard of anyone ever doing that.
I thought they presented the jws as radical but with a sympathy . The older doc was right they did go against the express wishes of the patient.

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.

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.
