  The Teacher

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an unwelcome dawn comes creeping upward, her tendrils straddling the dark mountain so terribly near my once sweet but now quaking refuge called home of the heart.. i peer through panes that give onto a landscape of horror that, to some, appears pristine but to me is a reminder that he has been swallowed up by a wood both black and cruel.. daring to venture forth, i hear his voice .

  .

  .. he calls out, so faintly, begging i rescue him from a jail that holds him fast against all escape; though myself a liberated man, i cannot free the one i taught the truth.

  "The so-called dark and cruel wood of religious error swallowed me and my students alive. I have been freed but what of them who remain jailed?"...psalms 1-2

  He was also very outspoken about corruption and he liked to rock the boat, so to speak.

  As we all know, cognitive dissonance allows people like Prince to hold two contradictory sets of ideas and pretend they can live with them. ~Terry

  
  

  There are some people on this forum who would be considered faithful JW's yet they don't believe a word of it. They have double lives to an even more ridged standard than Prince. Are you saying that they are like Prince in suffering cognitive dissonance? Or are they like Prince because they're "pretenders"?

  Why don't you give people the benefit of the doubt? ALL of these people, I suspect, are cognizant of what they're doing and they're doing it for a reason that seems good to them. None of them "fit" your black or white thinking...

  Yeah, maybe you were square and walked the JW walk and Prince defied the rules and got away with it. I can see that maybe you might feel that he is inferior to your alll or nothing "values"...but, this thread and what you've posted shows a petty, judgemental side of you that may prove to cause unintended collateral damage to people that don't deserve your critique of their personal life and how they lead it.

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  Terry, you know there is the side friends "get" and the side people know, right?

  I watched  the video you've posted again earlier this afternoon and had a few laughs and I've watched under the cherry moon quite a few times and it's clear the man had a sense of humour about himself.

  Love his comment @ the beginning of this video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H4k-d88BEsI

  I'm just gonna miss him in this world :(

  Start your own Prince rumour!

  by purrpurr in

  1. social
  2. humour

  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?

  ...le sigh...

  at first this thread bothered me A LOT but 2 glasses of wine and an hour later I can work with it. thanks!!

  :)Rumour has it, once upon a "time"...

  
  

  Prince had a "thing" with an angel of the creator God, YHWH...there is the whole "time"..."eternity" thing and Jesus died in time...we all enter eternity at the exact same time because Jesus is in eternity.

  So, (looking back) I was in eternity because everyone enters at the same time...though we are all subject to our birth date as to when we enter time (are you still with me?) anyhoo...when my beloved Prince was in time I was still in eternity cuz I wasn't born yet, heheh...I was a well known (yet little understood ) angel saved into eternity.

  So, time goes on and Prince is writing songs and remembering stuff and things are getting clearer, as they have a habit of doing if you're paying attention. He writes popular songs and this all happens after I'm born in time and when I hear these songs I'm all like ? "This totally resonates with me right now in *my* stream of time (though, I'm sure it resonates with a whole whack of people who see themselves as "angels"...let's be honest, someone writes a song about "angels" and they come crawling out of the woodwork 0_o [not hating because we all DO have our moments ]

  
  ...all things work together for those who love Him (God) and so, yeah "things" ARE working together!

  Therefore...long story short: Prince did pay attention and was cognizant of the will of God in his life. He wasn't just being "creative" when he sang about "an angel coming down unto me"..."thieves in the temple" really, time and space converged upon a moment...this moment.

  Rumour has it there isn't an angel around every corner but, hey...they exist and they're here to facilitate movement toward doing the will of God. Would you harken to the will of God or not?

  Would YOU pay attention and make this moment count?

  As always...questions...will ask them? or are YOU the cage to his dove?

  love michael
