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.
Also, George Benson.
Look at this, from Wikipedia.
Benson has been married to Johnnie Lee since 1965 and has seven children. Benson describes his music as focusing more on love and romance, and eschewing overt sexuality, due to his commitment to his family and religious practices, with Benson serving as a missionary for Jehovah's Witnesses.[26] Benson stated that he donated considerable funds to the religion's Watchtower Society. [27]
i was wondering what is the most interesting or the strangest fact you've found out since leaving the jws about:.
the bible.
god .
The Bible was written for Jews.
The Bible supports the theory that the Earth is fixed, instead of the Sun.
Jesus of Nazareth is Jehovah of the Old Testament.
Satan is named in the Book of Jubilees.
My belief system is enhanced by these findings.
i came to see if any of the old faces are here, thank you so much, you've helped me through so much.
so many of you are responsible for helping me to learn to be kind.
i love you guys, stay strong stay kind.
So good to hear from you.
This is Snowbird.
the other day my wife and i were in sonoma.
we were just walking around enjoying the pleasant afternoon in the quaint, old downtown area when i saw two jw women standing by their “witnessing cart.” .
normally, i just ignore them whenever i see jws standing by a cart, but i gotta admit it: this time it really bugged me because of the title on the cart: find family happiness.
Unfortunately, a few months ago, this kept happening to the poster, The Searcher, for which he was mercilessly trolled and hounded by the poster, DarkSpilver.
Shameful and disgusting, disgusting and shameful.
i really do have to get to work, but i needed to tell you that i had an early-morning appointment, which i was late for.
i woke up past my due time.
without really thinking through my dire straits, i hired eddie murphy to drive me there.
LOL.
in the may 27, 1942 edition of the consolation, the watchtower society devoted several pages to the controversy surrounding the burial of joseph rutherford.
in several sections, they write about "the opposition" in vague terms without much specificity as to who these other groups of people were who were supposedly persecuting them.
one section refers to a group called v.f.v.
VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars?
I think the final V is in error.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
There is a thing called overcompensating for past wrongs.
There are those who will exploit this for all it's worth.
Can we all just get along?
Did Jack Johnson father any children?
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
Yes, very simple.
And, it goes both ways.
don't know if this is a global thing but i've just been told by a pimo member of my old congregation that a min servant has been given the task of destroying all old books/literature in the kh library prior to 1992.. could be the elders (or even one of them) on a mission to stamp out dissent as my ex-wife used the same reasoning to her elder dad that i used in my jc: rutherfords books containing failed predictions.. anyone else heared anything?.
the ms who's been given the task is a company man.
no hope of him keeping them or selling them on ebay.. they have some russell books in that library too.
Tomecide.
i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.
Look up the hateful and hurtful background of those phrases.
Rappers get by with those things because they belong to the group they're seemingly disparaging. (Not that I listen to or approve of their disgusting lyrics).
Sort of like YOU can call your kids names, but no one else can.
