  i am very proud of this video and article.

  this marks the going public of a community that i co-founded with my friend todd kadish that is very important in new york city, indeed for everyone.

  especially for those who have escaped from some very controlling organizations a chance to integrate into the real world while still feeling validated and avoiding bitterness.

  i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

  the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

  so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

  Since Freddy Franz and Prince are about the same size, Freddy asked if Prince could bring his wardrobe up to the pearly gates so he could play dress up in heaven.

  Well if you liked a person's music, it's part of your own history and times in your life. It's just reminiscing and acknowledging it.

  or so says the jw's around me who heard it from someone who apparently "knows".

  i'm no expert in the music of prince so perhaps someone else can tell me, does the songs of the wt sound similar to princes work?.

  Is Larry Graham an Elder?

  i think he is, but i"m not too sure.

  just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..

  My last convention was 2001 I think, and it was as so. I can't imagine them coming down on it because it is just part of the community/culture. Who really cares?

  There were also sisters in full African dress, but they were not from Africa...maybe it's a convention time thing.

  James, are you saying they weren't as colorful?

  Maybe, they dressed like that for the conventions. I have no idea, but there were some amazing dressers...ladies included...head to toe.

  Compton was in my circuit. Some people were dressed as this and even more flamboyant. I've seen brothers in head to toe orange, lime green you name it...hat and all. Sisters the same.

  I went on Graham's website and I saw he was playing at an Atlantic City casino. I thought that was odd, nothing wrong with it in my book, but still think it's odd for an elder...the "example" s**t and all. Again..doesn't bother me...

  "from 1955 till present, popular music has declined to the point where it is now consistently "stupid" and homogenous.

  I think there are duds in all generations of music. I adore the American Songbook, but even within that time period there were plenty of inane songs as any other period.

  Very few times in history are there such collaborations that make history compared to the number that tries. They say Lennon and McCarthy could literally write a song in half an hour. Same with Carole King. There are some equally talented writers today.

  That being said, for me, there is some ridiculous music out there today. But I don't listen to it.

  Current music that holds it own...Adele's song choice proves the appeal is more than a powerful voice...the songs/music is great.

  Laker fan here, with family uber fans. We like Kobe, warts and all. He's a local OC resident. What a game for him to go out on.

  Well done Kobe!

  Basketball is fun to watch!!! And really exciting to see a good NBA game live.
