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.

Terry believes there are grey areas, even talks about them...he just hasn't found it in himself to be cool with them cuz, well...

maybe he's scared?

Any thought behind your " Avatar"

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.

Oui.

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

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?

myelaine

...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

Your Thoughts: My wife said...her service friend. speculated Prince would leave his vast fortune to the Society!

by goingthruthemotions in

so, talking with my wife yesterday.

she was out cart witnessing (barf) and one of the people she was with claimed to have know prince, or meet him or something like that.

well anyways...they or her or someone (they are all braindoogled) speculated or fantasized that since prince did not have any relatives or something or the other.

myelaine

Prince said in an interview, "I can't be played. People who try to play me play themselves."

I'm convinced that Prince did know ttatt and (as I said on the JW fb page) his lifestyle was at odds with everything that JW's are taught are the dictates of God. It isn't God that decided that some can't be involved in sports at school and some can be like Prince. It is clearly the whim of men. I hope every JW will question why there is preference given to celebrities BUT, it is your voices that can bring accountability because "the sheep" wont go against the WT. Prince did his part in showing the hypocrisy of the GB...honour that, it's YOUR portion of the inheritance...keep the media interested in the subject by contrasting r&f with Prince with special attention to the fact that GB makes policy not God.
