Also, how many congregations have a memorial service without it being requested by the family? They did this strictly for their OWN reasons, none of which had anything to do with memorializing a uber dub or a respected or much loved brother. It had to do with dragging in big name$ to a kingdom hall and trapping them into an hour long recruiting session. I'm sure the donation box was exercised more than usual last sunday.

Prince: frustration and relief
by AFreeBeliever ini haven't posted in a long time, but all this news re: prince has brought up alot of "stuff" for me.
having been a born-in 3rd generation until being disfellowshipped, losing all of my family and friends i had since birth in one big go, i find myself going between frustration, and honestly some feelings of resentment, and ...relief...regarding prince (who, by the way, i am not disparaging personally, just, as most of us know, he would have been held up as the perfect example of what not to be by the watchtower organization and the double-standard/hypocrisy is rather stunning).
resentment/frustration, due to my personal experiences and those of many i knew.

I don't know about any of what the Labels would be for that video, but I do know that the WT has just drawn attention to itself by this and is now on the radar of human rights groups. So, no issue with that. -

I keep trying to figure out how she fits in his life. She and the 2 sons were listed as his next of kin-though he has a sister. Clearly, she didn't hold back from telling HIM about "the truth", so just as clearly, he rejected WT teaching, as he was buying his son a birthday present. Why does she have anything to do with this man or his life or death? I hope his kids have a normal mom, would you want a JW gramma who is that rabid to be raising a kid who lost his dad while he was buying him a birthday present? -

Why his grandma? Divorced? Were his JW family even speaking to him? Most JWs are not proud of their children who are not doing things the JW way.
That was pretty offensive-the huge pin. The little bitty version. . . at least wouldn't have been obtrusive.

Complex spice blends, prepared sauces, compotes, veggie mixes. I can adapt, I like homemade so much better, but hey, my secret vice is Velveeta, so there's a chance:) -

Millie, you are a person after my own heart. Organic and natural is not trending in the Pillsbury bake off at last check. They have had gluten free, but that's against my religion, unless it's straight up meat and potatoes. I am thinking about vegetarian or Indian/American fusion, my every day reality. The thing is, I want to win the whole thing, not just the healthy category. Who knows. The biggest limitation is 7 ingredients! Hamburger helper has that. -

My small problem with pillsbury is that I am a home baker. My strength is that I haven't always been. I was a young person who grew into this love of baking because I adore bread.
Now though, even if I find an appealing quick Pillsbury product recipe, using a mix galls me, I even soak and cook beans and make refried beans. I'm weird, I know.
From you all in more sophisticated circles, or more foodie ones, anyway, I hope you will suggest any upcoming food trends. We've had the salted caramel, kale, cronut fads, fashions, superfoods.
I am right now exploring Trinidads foods, and Indian flavor profiles. I think food from Trinidad smells better:) I still prefer baking to cooking, but I need a win and this is in my wheelhouse. Suggestions and encouragement welcome!

CHILD BAPTISM
by megabyte_vijay init is strange to read the last week watchtower that encouraging child/teenagers' baptism.
even jesus was baptised as his 30. jws encouraging marriages at an older age.
but why they are encouraging children to get baptised.

Soon they will encourage early marriage and childbearing will be pushed to Duggar proportions to bump the numbers. Maybe in the loyalty convention.
