The guy on the front row, brown shirt looks like a total wise ass. Like he's in Bethel but his room was probably party central with illegal substances and booze.

Were you beaten as a child?
by purrpurr ini've been confronting my mother with her dubious parenting skills (abuse) of me as a child.
particularly the beatings i would get with the wooden spoon.
not a light smack but hitting me as hard as she could for as long as she could.

Spanking to the point that leaves welts and scars I don't believe in AT ALL , but I have to say though that it isn't just JWs who believe in spanking, if you watch a certain rerun of The Andy Griffith Show at the end he asks a dad if he wants to go to the shed in the back and teach his son a lesson. Raven Symone on THe VIew is just 30 and she has several times that since her folks or southeners as she is, if she even attempted to do certain things she knew she was "gonna get a whuppin".
I'm over 50 so of course most of the kids back then were spanked but nowadays not too many parents believe in spanking, which just might be the problem with some of the young folks today (yea, I said it) since some parents do the "friend thing" with their kids and/or just give up. I believe in spanking, have no kids, but believe in it. Just my opinion and probably not a popular one here on this forum.

Eat some local honey, even here in NYC a lot of people do that, they buy some a farmer's markets, but it has to be locally harvested, don't know if that's an option for you but it helps.
I may be speaking too soon, but so far I've just had one bad day of what I would call allergy symptoms, usualyl in the morning I want to scratch my eyes out, accompanied by sneezing all day, so far just one day of moderate sneezing . . .knock on wood.

You know if you do tell her you're a former JW she's gonna drop you like a hot potato and find someone else to the play the game with. Jah forbid a JW play a game on the computer with a former Dub!

THe whole family got together at a swanky hotel either in Vegas or LA and thru SIs. Jackson a HUGE celebrity studded birthday party, in either in 80's or 90's and they gave her car. How the Hell did the pioneering Sis. Jackson keep that secret from the Elders when I've read about it and I've never even met anyone in the family? -

Prince sounds like the average two faced JW in this clip, preaching to this guy but when he asked for permission to use his song it was clear NO.
Then in front of a group of people he pulls out the bible from his pocket on another preaching tirade, but lives the double life in the entertainment industry,

Prince was on the board of directors for the WTS
by Barrold Bonds ini was talking with a friend of mine who knows a few people in the home department at bethel.
apparently, prince was, as i noted in the title, on the board of directors.
he apparently was sort of a silent partner or advisor in the whole thing.

Yeah and Prince bought all the GB those huge Rolexes they wear since a Bethelite can't afford one on their own with that measly stipend they get every month, because Prince knew that JWs treat all their members the same, no matter what their rank in the Borg. -

Is Larry Graham an Elder?
by ShirleyW ini 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..

Honiton, Devon congregation had a young lady who played the recorder to accompany the singing of Kingdom songs
In the early 70's we had along with our piano player a sister playing the violin and one of the elders playing his bass guitar, that lasted about a year or so.
