Terry - I have dignified you by always reading your postings and literature with interest and respect - you come across as the sort of person I could easily have over to complement other "good" company at a barbecue for instance >
Your topic title makes no sense and ........is it necessary imho ?
What if [and you don't know this] he himself did not see himself as the Celebrity JW ? Maybe somewhere in his humanness he really was fighting his own demons? He too was just a victim of victims - maybe he desired an escape ?
You have let me down on this one !

So apparently prince wrote most of the songs in the new song book...
by purrpurr inor so says the jw's around me who heard it from someone who apparently "knows".
i'm no expert in the music of prince so perhaps someone else can tell me, does the songs of the wt sound similar to princes work?.

He wrote "From House to House" - I have it on good authority from the brother of a cousin of a friend whose father's stepson is a Bethelite - -

Is Larry Graham an Elder?
by ShirleyW ini think he is, but i"m not too sure.
just wondering because looking at that purple pimp outfit with hat that he wore to prince's memorial, i wonder if he ever gave a talk wearing the same outfit, when i've read here that some brothers were talked to for wearing a pastel colored shirt while giving a talk..

Maybe "Bro" Larry Graham just walked his own line at the funeral and couldn't care less for what anyone is sayin or gonna say !
Why we have to unpick every little thread of information and then microscopically analyse it to try to discover that indisputable tid-bit that will finally be the death-knell of the JW dot Org puts us in the same league as the writers in the yellow press publications of this world ....................lets fo------in move on !

Private Cremation attended by "Bro" Larry Graham ......Sly move ! .......
Bro Rogers was not a "nice" person to Bro Michael J at the time when MJ was doing the "Bad" album? and had invited Symbol to duet with him - Which Prince turned down with a bit of contempt.
Some more here: fyi
Nevertheless I hold his musicality in high regard = Who the heck am I to be judge of his persona !

Another counter from JW side is that an increase in partakers is a natural consequence of the great and rapid increase in new members and that the principle of "many will partake but only a few will be chosen etc explains the inflated figures of recent years !
As you know JW's have 'all the answers' -
(Oh I have received a preliminary "subpoena" to a 'meeting' ----- now the fun begins ! )

Did JW tell the Kushners that this [Rebel8's meme] is what is going to happen to their soon-to-be new acquisition ?? And if "soon" "just around the corner" "shortly" the $$ 700 M will also have bugger-all value for JW why are they going balls-to-the-wall ahead with these pursuits with the "worldly world lying in Satans power" ?
