after reading this i'm certain he did attend.
note the comments about being a jw and jehovah god
Many people try to 'mainstream' their JW connections and JW lifestyle.
The jackson clan apparently has done this for decades. Makes sense to me that he would revert back to claiming 'JW' and attending with parents when he is under such stress.
I still believe that it is quite possible that he attended last week.
-Aude.
this has nothing to do with witnesses, but it's driving me nuts.
the new burger king commercial has to be the strangest commercial i've ever seen.
i can't help but watch it every time just trying to figure it out.
Sorry not sure which one you are talking about (I cannot play the video in the link)
i've sort of known that she had some jw connections, but i had never broached the subject with her as the timing never was right.
well, today i finally managed to work it in, after hearing her talking on the phone with somebody about the memorial.
i sent her an im not knowing quite how she would respond, but it actually turned out pretty well:.
Smooth.
(nice work!)
i just received an email that said mj attended the memorial in solvang last night.
he attended with his mom and dad and also his son.
this info was forwarded to me via 2 others but i saw the original email so i think it's probably true.
If this is really true........where were his other two kids?
Home with a sitter??
my boyfriend (on/off 5yrs) has been in and out of this religion since we met 10yrs ago.
right now, he is back on.
it's hard for me to cope with his switching back and forth.
Hi squeaky.
I'm sorry you are in a tough position. I was an on-again, off-again witness for many years too. (not quite as off as your bf, but...!)
My life is so much happier and saner since firmly leaving. Understanding the reality behind core doctrinal and judicial decisions in the organization helped me to see that it was not a way of life that truly brought me inner contentment and hope for the future. I am so happy to be out and will never return there.
I do not really have any relationship advice for you but wanted to say 'hello' and welcome to JWD.
I'm sure others will have plenty to share with you.
There have been so soo SOOO many threads started like yours that someone will probably provide you with a link.
In the meantime, you may want to look in the 'Best of' section. I think there is a collection of threads dealing with 'relationships'.
Best wishes,

Personally, I believe that it highly possible. Even very likely that he would attend.
Many here have been coaxed into attending when their parents visit. (Especially when going thru difficult times - reagardless of what you may or may not have done to bring on those difficult times.)
I don't know that it would necessarily be that newsworthy to the general public. Many celebrities attend religious service and I would expect that there would be a little privacy granted for that 'sacred' time.
Doesn't surpirse me at all.
I could believe that he and his family attended together. Makes sense to me.

i took evelyne a copy of everyones wonderful thoughts... she cried more than once.
so, she saw the specialist just after lunch time.
it looks like, after 3 liters of iv, she has gone from 4.7 to 14!
Glad to hear she is getting back on track and that she has such an attentive care-giver...!!
Hopefully the next two months more predictable.
-Aude.
it's nine o' clock, and i'm writing a 1500-1800 word research essay on perikles and the fall of the athenian empire.
it's due tommorow, i started yesterday.. wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!
ps.
Keep up the good work!
-Aude.
can't do more in jehovah's service?
start buying out time from non-essential activities.. how many times have we heard this phrase?.
ever wondered how much an average jw who preaches 10 hours a month, spends on jw activities in a year?.
...plus travel time
...plus getting dressed up
...plus getting kids ready
Holy Cow!!
Damn I blew my chances at salvation with one worldly expletive.
Shit. Make that two three expletives.
-Aude.
the following is quoted in it's entirety (excepting cited scriptures after each question) from the new release organized to do jehovah's will, pages 182-218.. .
questions for those desiring to be baptized.
part 1 elementary bible teachings.
I had to stop and sit up straight to read that 'infectious disease' section. WOW.....
I couldn't find the questions on what happens if/when you decide that you no longer choose to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Or what are the consequenses of failing to live up to the long list of rules.
Which questions were those??
-Aude.
