Prince became a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2001 following a two-year-long debate with friend and fellow Jehovah's Witness, musician Larry Graham. Prince said he didn't consider it a conversion, but a "realization"; "It's like Morpheus and Neo inThe Matrix", he explained.
That sounds like a mouth full of bullshit to me.......
A realization my ass......
All Larry Graham did was drag Prince's ass down to his level of stupidity and beat it with experience.....
so we had the woman version.
let it rip guys - what type of woman makes you just want to get her know her better - the one that makes you take that risk and walk on over to start a conversation?.
Two XX chromosomes....
for certain.

a FULL frontal lobotomy.....
i don't know any details myself, but i was wondering what is the watchtower's timeline for getting completely out of brooklyn?
i know they have been building a new hq in patterson.
(i think) they have also been selling many brooklyn properties.
They have long range multi-year plans that probably span into the next decade for getting out.
Why do you ask?
Wouldn't your time be better spent out in service doing all you can for jehovah now?
You know, armegeddon a just around the corner?
so i decided to attend the meeting last.
since i haven't gone in about 2 weeks, and i leave as soon as it ends, and elder decided to corner me at the end.
lately i've been through some very depressing family issues that are non-jw related so i haven't been my best at acting like i care about the org.
uhhhnnn
you weren't listening, obeying, and being blessed.....
has anyone seen the district convention invitation.
guess who's on the front page?
yep, a gb member.
X-JW's should have an initiation rite. When you wake up to TTATT and are ready for it.......2 X-JW's come to your door and when you answer, they smack the shit out of you and say, "what the hell were you thinking!"
ROFLMAO.......
When I woke up, I would've welcomed one of these visits.
attraction isn't the glue that holds couples together, and there have even been scientific polls and studies taken on this.
that initial attraction *typically* doesn't last more than a few months.
though attraction keeps you interested long enough to get to know someone and build a relationship with him/her.. but my question is this, how long does the attraction lasts in new couples, before they get bored with each-other?..
30 years coming up soon.
You just don't think about how fast the time goes.....
discussion with wife today led to her questioning whether i believe or not.
i told her that i just can't roll over and accept everything new thing they say just like that.
we were, of course, talking about the "new light".
I found one particular part of your conversation with her interesting. I have heard it several times. I think the way you respond to the thinking is key. When she says "Do you think you are smarter than the GB?", you said of course not. But this is not really about intelligence. From her perspective (and maybe yours depending on what you currently believe about the bible), its about truth. Truth wherever it leads.
This piqued my interest in the conversation as well. I remember , in a heated argument, I was having with my wife when she tried to take that tact with me. My response in that they had to put their pants on one leg at a time and wipe their asses after they shit didn't go down to well. Not one of them have any training or instruction beyond the drivel they claim as food at the proper time by mimic'd writing from colleagues for the decades preceding their ascendence to the corporate elite. That makes them as about as dumb as a box of rocks to me.
You're right in that it is not a matter of intelligence,but a matter of what is truth wherever it leads. But, the GB have it in the minds of JWs even a short circuit for that with the "wait on jehovah" mantra. If they are really spirit directed, inspired, or whatever euphemism of weasle words they are using to demonstrate that they are divinely benevolent, you'd have thought that they would get at least one thing right besides concocting more efficient ways of getting money out of their sheep.
no one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.
(from the article, is it wrong to change your religion?
july 2009 awake!, page 28) .
If you're changing from being a JW to something else........yes....
wt 1/15/51 " the lord's evening meal.
8 mark's account agrees with matthew's above.
thus we have two writers as witnesses.
Who would've known that you can use the word invisible in so many contexts......
Then the 3 of you burn or throw away all WTS literature in the house while you celebrate waking up.
