99The Artist formally known as Prince
by Sasha indid any of you floridians see the article in the palm beach post.?
it seems they were giving a party for prince the other night (he's performing at the super bowl in miami toinght) and he would not show up because there were designs of dragons on the walls.
the article went on to say that prince is a "devoted jehovah's witness" and therefore believes that you can't look upon dragons because it is a symbol of the devil...now, my question is: have any of you current, or former witnesses ever heard of that?

I agree about the shaded symbol...we all laughed like crazy and the kids just looked at us like..what?
And I though I read that Prince was thinking about going to another religion? I'll have to look into that..

Silly me bet on the Bears...well it did look like they were winning for a while..but I did win $4.00 on the closest to the quarter score bet
I thought Prince was pretty good considering the weather..nasty ...I didn't see Billy Joel..I must have taken a break to help fix food.
It was my first Superbowl..and if I ever learn the rules I might enjoy it a little more..I do wish I had a dollar for everytime one of the guys smacked the other guy on the butt though ... They seem to like to do that and I did think the commercials were cute.
Snoozy..a beginner..

One more comment..if your boyfriend is so worried about this cousin's blackmail theory..why would he tell you? He has to realize that if you get mad at him you are also a threat? You could always do the same thing....
Got to be more behind this story....

In Memorandum
by RichieRich init was the 14th of april last year that i had to sit my mother down and tell her i was an apostate.. i was closer to her than anyone else.
my father and mother are still married, but he let her raise me as a witness, and that meant it was me and mom.. me and mom in field service for 100 hours in july because she had to make her time as a regular pioneer.. me and mom fighting over what to bring for lunch to the district convention.. me and mom up late at night, when she would berate me, and then unload all her problems on to me.. me and mom and our 4 hour family studies, where we discuss 2 paragraphs of a random book, and then she would browbeat me until early in the morning.. somehow, through all that, i pretended to be a witness for years, just to appease her.
looking back, i don't know if i loved her, or if i was just afraid of her.

You should read Richie's history.Especially what he had to go through when he left the JW religion... All I can say is he is one amazing person!
And he is very interesting to read..I totally agree with you..he should be a writer..

If he is willing to give in to a blackmailer..what else could he be blackmailed into doing?
I think you are uncomfortable with it and am looking for someone here to make excuses for him because you care about him.
You really answered your own question because all I read was how you couldn't live with someone that did that.And if that's what he is telling you..but he said he had dark secrets..(Plural) what else has he done that he didn't confess to?
Too many red flags..He is trying to isolate you. ( A form of abuse ).he is telling you he can be blackmailed..actually the other party would be the ones hurting the grandparents or other family members by telling them.
Trust me..us oldsters are a lot tougher than you youngsters think..we wouldn't be all that shocked.He is just using that for an excuse to keep it up.
If I was you I would run..not walk away from him as fast as I could and lock my door behind..
Course that's my opinion..Maybe you could suggest you both seek a Psycologist together and see his reaction.( Use his guilty feelings as a reason)..that should tell you a lot about him. And maybe he doesn't want you talking to others because of what they may tell you about him?

Does this bug you???
by Sunnygal41 inwhen a party on the telephone asks you for the number of some other business?
this happens to me constantly, and, it drives me nuts!!!!
it's like, hey, i've got my own work to do..........how's about dialing the local information line?

Well I don't work (retired) so no it doesn't bother me..
But it does bother me when they ask me for my phone number in department stores..and the 5 or 10 other customers hear you announce your phone number to them..
I think I will start following a friend's advice and tell them the number is unlisted..
Snoozy..who only gives her number out to friends and relatives...
Edited to add..Working in a bank we were expected to bend over backwards for the customer..so we called the information center a lot..especially we would have to call the SS office...and be on hold for a half hour.

How long is hate good for you?
by Snoozy inin reading richie's post it got me to wondering..how long is hate healthy?.
i always heard you should hate what someone does to you rather than hate the person.in all my watching and learning years i have reconciled myself to the fact that if you continue to have hate in your heart for someone you were only hurting yourself.
usually i have found when someone carries a hate for someone for many years..that person is still controlling you..you won't ever truly be happy.. also in my many years on this planet.... so i thought " i wonder how others feel"?.

Also in my many years on this planet...I have come to realize that many things affect others behavior..Illness..upbringing..mental health issues..I also realized you have to get out of that persons life..it is not healthy for you...but not carry the grudges of the hurt they caused you..as that too can hurt you..
So I thought " I wonder how others feel"?

Richie..I am so sorry your Mother was more abusive than I realized. I didn't know your Father was still in your life..that's a good thing. But did he allow your Mom to treat you badly or was he absent?
I had a lot of resentment towards my Mother as I too had a different kind of abuse..but as the years went along..I realized my Father was just as guilty for allowing my Mom to be the way she was with us.
Then later in my life(with counseling) I let the anger go. Don't really know what happened ..the anger was just gone.I think as I got older..and saw the different kinds of sickness in people..I was able to admit she was mentally Ill and could not help herself. She even had shock treatments but they only helped for a little while.The thought of how she must have felt just broke my heart..I wondered if there was ever a time when she was truly happy.Then I felt so sad for her.
Maybe mental abuse is easier to forgive then physical? I don't know.
Big hugs to you..
Snoozy..who thinks you are one brave guy for someone so young.When the anger starts to diminish..then you will know you are on the road to recovery..they always say "Hate what the person does to you..not the person.".It makes you feel better ...really...
