"we are saddened to hear about the death of prince rogers nelson, who was baptized as one of jehovah’s witnesses in 2003," the church said in a statement obtained by people.
the church said that prince "found fulfillment as a witness and in sharing his faith with others.

I wonder, if Prince gets a "witness" funeral, will it be the generic 'sales pitch' funeral talk or will the 'brother' be able to actually say something about the person instead of delivering the jw infomercial?
Probably depends on how much $$$$ Prince left to the borg!

my bet is no!.

when asked: “why there is so much of suffering here if god exists?” buddha responded with silence because he knew the following:.
1) even though living in heaven, anyone can live as though he lives in hell and vice versa which means how a person thinks is the key.
experience show that whatever a person does with 100% involvement (totality = beauty), it is like he lives in heaven.
If god is 'almighty' and already know he is good and great, why would he need or want billions of others to constantly tell him so 3 or 4 times each day?

abraham was part of the 9th generation as a descendent of shem.
yet, their lives overlapped by 150 years.
yep, they were of the same generation!
This all sounds 'degenerating' to me!
And I believe that the whole concept of "overlapping" originated when the majority of the gb looked down and noticed the "new (light)" relationship between at their belly and their belt.

norman grindley.
a thought occurred that there is a danger in thinking we know everything, or have it all figured out in life.
especially when it comes to matters of doctrine or faith.. witnesses (or at least the society as a whole) are so self-confident, so proud to be the only ones who know "the truth" about everything to do with the universe, the earth, our past and our future, that pride kicks in.
and pride is dangerous...(.and before a fall).
The more I know, the more I realize how little the wt organization really knows spiritual things. What the early wt leaders, i.e. Russell and Rutherfraud, really knew was that religion was a good business. They taught their followers that they, and no one else had the 'troof' which made their followers very elite. The elite status of "knowing the troof" is very intoxicating. Sobering up and the 'hang over'--not so good!

who are leading the governing body?
who is in charge of them?
i don't mean the shareholders.
Oh my goodness, you mean to tell me that "Holy Spirit" isn't leading them? Well this changes everything!

why are you guys so obsessed with organizations?
there has to be order in the world and organised people!
History bears out that the wt organization is extremely obsessed with discrediting every other 'organization' on earth except the wt. Therefore, it is equally incumbent on those who have first hand knowledge and experience to use whatever means available to expose the wt organization for what it really is.
In all "fairness" to the corrupt wt organization, all other religious 'organizations' are no doubt the same! It's just that we on this forum have personal (bad) experience with wt.
