I remember the jw's in our area referring to interested persons, bible students (ones with whom a bible study was being conducted) as "good wills" during the 50's.

by smiddy inof course this thread is inspired by princes sad death , yet i wonder how the average j.w.
nowadays.. from what i have gleaned from the many threads about his death their seems to be a reverence about him even on pro-j.w.
sites.. i have been out for about 25 years , yet in my time in the "truth" anything that put you on a pedestal was a no , no.. competition in any form was discouraged , sports especially.

How About We Call It "The Trance" Instead of "The Truth"
by xjwsrock inlet's see if it works as a replacement in common phrases:.
"how long have you been in the trance?".
"when did you come into the trance?".

That works!
It could also properly be called " The Guess" or "The Opinion".

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!

True God would not seek praise nor worship from us
by elbib inwhen 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?
