I stand corrected on who studied with him, but all of them including Prince are at least semi active jws. This last year the memorial was held at Paisley Park.

Don't know about Michael Jackson, but Prince does attend assemblies, don't know how many he has been to. He is always surrounded by Body Guards. His wife attends with him. One assembly a number of years back when he first started to study he was at my DC one day. It was funny cause everyone almost kept doing the whole gawker thing. He was dressed in his typical velvet style (so I wouldn't be surprised if he did show in gold heels) though his wife had on a normal JW approved floral dress. They hustled him in after the session started when less people are out and they were dropped off at the back door by a limo. Let's not even go into what he has in his house at Paisley Park that's JW related. LOL. I presently hear lots of the "Prince" news because a coworker goes to the cong that he often attends.
And Prince studied with Sly, from Sly and the Family Stone. Sly and his wife are very active JW's who are often on the stage giving experiences.

IM from a dub who is disgusted at my presence on this board
by stillajwexelder ini have read your posts and am suprised, shocked and disgusted at the fact you still are an active witness who goes to the meetings 70% of the time and at the same time go to apostefests and curse and talk bad about the truth.
dont you know that the bible said people like you would quietly slip in the congregation and subvert the faith of some?
are you not afraid of god and jesus?

So can we say they have been converted that they are apostate too for coming to this board?
Please say yes.
I never cease to be amazed that people can be so oblivious to thier wrongs while claiming to bring others to light.
Oh the fact that this ws done in PM really shows thier courage.
Riot of the smug apostate but still at the meetings til things are set to make a complete break class

Good Decisions.....
by riotgirlpeeps inso i was curious, besides leaving the organ, what other life altering decisions have you made that have greatly improved your life, that you wouldn't have made were you still under the "sheep" mentality?.
for me, divorcing my ex, taking a chance to get involved with anyone again, and working at fulfilling my lifelong goal of running my own business (non cleaning or menial labor related).
my self worth and confidence has absolutely increased for acting on these decisions..

And the reoccuring theme is leaving bad ex's. So really being a devout jw means you put up with more bs than you should in a relationship. So it could mean that the society promotes shoddy relationships. YAY!

ROFL wanderlust guy perfect, that's always the opening line of choice.
The Brits are all going, I don't get it.
My dad should be going home today after having surgery. He's alright, talked to him this am. We sent flowers with a card that said "Don't bust a gut" he had a hernia. LOL. Wouldn't be teasing him if he wasn't going to be alright. Must be all that jw doings that gave it to him.

Getting wedding invitations from people who really don't know you or care
by LongHairGal ini am sure many people get wedding invitations from people who don't really know you or care about you but who invited you just the same.
sometimes they got cancellations and had to fill a number or they want $$.
maybe you went because it "wouldn't look good" if you didn't.

Eeek I just got one yesterday in the mail.
I think I have met the groom once, and the bride I've never spoken to more than one sentence.
The ironic thing is that she didn't want a shower, so I suspect this is a ploy to get all the gifts at once.

Does anyones girlfriend/boyfriend get jealous or mad for being on here alot
by not the administrator inmine always thinks i'm going to hook back up with a witness ex girlfriend or i guess dump her for god.

My boy isn't jealous at all, actually he tried to join. The password he was given wasn't acknowledged at all and he wasn't able to login. The admins never fixed it so he just doesn't feel he can bother with it anymore. BUT his view of the board is supportive and amused, he feels he needs to learn as much as possible about me to understand where I am now, and recognizes this board is an excellent support for me to learn and grow from.
As stated many times, balance is needed. Web addiction is a real problem, which could also be the source of resentment. As with all things, even this board, shouldn't overtake the rest of your life and if limited amount of time is available to be spent with the sig other sometimes its just better to compromise with them for the peace.

disfellowshipped for gluttony?
by onintwo inhello jwd board community.
just wondering.. has anyone ever heard of a person being disfellowshipped for the terrible sin of gluttony?
isn't it ranked right up there with drunkeness, adultery, murder, etc.?.

Being skinny does not mean that a person is not a glutton. Their body may burn it off. But they are taking more than their fair share of food perhaps at meal time or when a guest a someone's house.
There is one sister at the hall who was known at every gathering for eating or taking home all the extra food. She was not thin per se but not very large either, she just had decent metabolism.
But nope since I still haven't made the final cut from the borg there is no one I know of who has been df'd or had a jc for it. Ironic isn't it.
The only time I go to buffets is when my rents want to go somewhere fairly cheaply.

Is it intuition, clairvoyence, or THE DEVIL?
by anewme inthis subject may be in the files.
my new mother-in-law is a truly lovely person.
i am a bit baffled though by her use of intuition to make all kinds of decisions.

But if I were her I would keep some observations to myself because some things are just downright creepy. She doesn't have to share them with everybody. However, if I had an overwhelming bad feeling about something I might share it under the right circumstances.
Actually often people who hold to her belief system or others aren't aware they are making you uncomfortable, I agree with the above statement she doesn't have to share with everyone. My own belief system is a total mix of things drawing from pagan and christian. But part of it is if she made you uncomfortable she may not have been aware it had that effect on you. But don't be afraid either to politely decline further discussion on the topic if it does make you feel ill at ease.
