would making fun of an elder, co or governing body member, be considered brazen conduct or some other wt sin, like apostasy?

is it an actionable judicial matter, even?.

But in the eyes of a dude who won five NBA championships and three Most Valuable Player awards, Prince's skill set wasn't quite up to par with his confidence. Because, boy, did the Purple One have plenty of that.

"He called me up and he said, 'Magic, I want to come to the Theatres,'" Johnson laughed. "'OK, what time do you want to come?' '2 a.m.' I said, 'Prince, we're closed at 2 a.m., but OK, I'll open it for you.' So we opened it up, my manager and projection guy, he brings this big bus full of people. Jimmy, when they get off, they're all in pajamas."
At least Prince didn't turn it into a nightclub.

Loved it! Too true. I'd watch out for Sanders' dragons though, they can really "Bern"--as the Nevada Democratic Party State Chair can attest to.

"Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,"
Exactly. Jesus, a man, died, like all men die and after death then they are judged.
As in psalm 23, all the days of one's life, once they end, a person has finished his life-course but then one may dwell in the house of the Lord, in heaven, for ever.
Is there any other way to read that? Explain.

Bad form, very bad form.
But after all, we all know quite clearly she's mentally controlled by the JW.0rg cult-think.

Last thought in Psalm 23: "Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever," sounds like maybe heavenly hopes after some peaceful "all days" of ones life.
So...
I've got a question. How does "You can live forever on paradise earth" jive with Hebrews 9:27?
If Rutherford declared that "millions now living will never die" and are now pretty much all dead, then isn't Hebrews 9:7 more likely than the misguided hopes in JW doctrine to never die and live through Armageddon?
