Look at the SHAMELESS self promotion of the GOVERNING BODY (tm) !!! Rude, tasteless and tacky! JW.org printed on the back of what seems to be Prince's memorial program. All I can say is these men on the GOVERNING BODY(tm) have NO CLASS and no manners. (This is my last posting in reference to Prince and his memorial. I'm making myself physically sick each time I post about this.)

Here is a LITMUS TEST for allowing Prince to have a Jehovah's Witness funeral as a member in good standing:
Would this album by PRINCE, released in the year 2014, entitled ART OFFICIAL AGE be allowed to be in the possession of a current Bethelite according to GOVERNING BODY(tm) standards as to what music is allowed at the 'House of God'? The cover with it's 'mystical third eye' on Prince and his suggestive lyrics contained within would render this music UNACCEPTABLE at Bethel. Yet Prince gets a funeral as a Witness in good standing.
according to the elder's rulebook, there is this addendum in the chapter on the grounds for judicial committee and the section: "misuse of addictive drugs":.
please note: the use of addictive drugs under medical supervision, such as for pain management, would not necessarily require judicial review.
when questions arise, consult with the branch office.. .
Jehovah's Witnesses and the high rate of 'mood altering drugs' usage within the congregation......................from Bethelites on down to the lowliest of publishers. That is just one of the many 'elephants in the room' that the GOVERNING BODY (tm) is ill equipped to handle or even admit to.

Larry Graham can 'kiss my ass'....................he dresses like a 'pimp' when it serves his purpose and then is all conservative inside the Kingdom Hall.

Yes Millie210 you have hit the 'nail on the head,' especially in regards to Jehovah's Witnesses and the use of 'mood altering' drugs. If you choose to smoke marijuana on your own to ease your anxiety, you will be disfellowshipped as a 'drug abuser' but if you receive your drugs from a Medical Doctor, you will be receiving 'medical treatment' for your 'medical condition' and it will be judged as a 'personal matter'. It never ceases to amaze me that an Elder that is taking anti-depressants, Xanax and drinks like a fish can in 'good conscience' disfellowship someone for smoking cigarettes or marijuana.

Why didn't the lyrics from his song THE GOLD STANDARD, which is found on his CURRENT album, ART OFFICAL AGE appear on his memorial flyer:
"You don't need to be wild
Whatever you do don't need to come from Dunnwoody style
The gold standard crazy amazing
Get on that schlong groove
The gold standard crazy amazing
Turn it up let your body move."
Or how about this little gem from the same album:
BREAKFAST CAN WAIT
"Breakfast can wait
You really put it on me
You shut it down last night
I thought the police was gonna come (last night)
Loud, yeah, quite
Yeah, I ain't tryin' to make you blush
I just think you're great
Ain't no need to rush
Breakfast can wait"
"Yeah
Breakfast can wait!
Oh, you know you might need to pray for me
You might need to come again
Breakfast can wait!
Oh yeah-yeah."
The GOVERNING BODY OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES (tm) knows no SHAME! THEY ARE DISGUSTING, HYPOCRITICAL, TWO FACED, SELF SERVING, SELF PROMOTING, LYING, GOD INTOXICATED RELIGIOUS FANATICS THAT WOULD NOT KNOW THE TRUTH IF IT JUMPED UP AND BIT THEM ON THE ASS!
about 30-50 high profile guests are expected among 300 other guests.
the kingdom hall has requested for support from the police for crowd/traffic control .

Apparently, Kim Kardashian was just informed that she is not on the 'guest list' for Princes' funeral.
the universe can be observed to be expanding.. an expanding universe must have had a beginning.
whatever begins to exist had a cause.
therefore the universe had a cause.

i don't see this posted elsewhere, and i don't have the links besides this facebook one.. but here is a 45-minute long bethel talk about the changes at bethel including addressing the hard feelings of people who were given the axe.
basically, everything must change.
we gave remaining bethelites saturday off to do our bidding in "the field" and we give bethelites over 70 an extra day a week off (if you can find any such bethelites).
"What is the ultimate goal now?" - My Name is of No Consequence
I think the new 'GOAL' is to turn every 'rank and file' Jehovah's Witness into a perpetual cash machine to feed the Watchtower Machine.
