  Convention coming to a city near YOU...

  by Sugar Shane in

  ...and it's our duty to warn non-jws, or half awake jws about these events, as they start appearing in newspapers throughout the us, and abroad.

  it almost comes out as a promotional ad for the jw convention.

  the 'current events' editing staff of this paper likely has no idea what their promoting.

  Prince: frustration and relief

  by AFreeBeliever in

  1. watchtower

  i 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.

  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.

  homophobia (m-w.com):.

  : irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals.

  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:)
