i heard a sly and the family stone song a little while ago and out of curiosity, looked up larry graham....the innovator of the slappin and plunkin bass.

he became a jw about 1975 and was the influence for prince becoming a jw.

on his official web page is the list of his tour dates this year.

Larry sleeps, eats and breaths da funk. He's the godfather of the slapping bass technique. Excellent gifted musician who also happened to be a spiritual person looking for answers "provided" by the early 70's WT propaganda machine. He was lucky enough to be financially independent and to get a free card to tour the world and live the life of a JW celebrity.

Most rank and file jw's wouldn't get away with a life of visiting different kh's/meetings around the globe while touring (sometimes sharing the stage with "worldly" music celebrities) and giving live performances and interviews at radio and tv.

Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales

by freddo in

i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.

i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.

as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

But it IS interesting freddo... you left a thought, a potential seed. So, thanks for letting us know.

Is Satan Real ?

by jdash in

i've been pondering on this question for awhile now, and i'm starting to think this malevolent spirit creature isn't real.

.

do you guys believe satan is real?

Well said Dunedain, that sums it up for me. This world needs more sobering explanations based on logic and reality in order to get rid of religious and suppressing superstition. No proof is no proof...

Media attention for JW sexual abuse problems has increased considerably. There have been three items at RTL news, one at RTL late night talk show and one at NOS news. That's five items since december 28, 2017!

Now politics is discussing it at the highest level... let's hope the victims will get their Dutch "ARC".

Dutch JW to be investigated by government-appointed commission

by Anders Andersen in

today a government meeting re.

child abuse & jw was held.

see this post.

Thanks Anders.

My confidence in minister Sander Dekker has grown. He finally seems to understand what it is all about. I also look forward to the efforts of Nico Meijering. I think this lawyer is the best choice to assist Reclaimed Voices and the victims.
