  fox news is reporting that prince is going to "party like it's 1989" by taking his purple rain album hits back on the road.

  i don't think his elders are going to be particularly happy with the "darling nikki" routine.

  my friend was kidding around this weekend that he would like to run for president (we were watching some lame political commentary on the news.

  ) i tried to explain to him that he had way too many skeletons in his closet to ever be elected, but he thinks people would vote for him on his sheer honesty.

  i gave him a "mock" interview that went something like this:.

  i was watching a program on the history channel the other night and it was mentioned that the author of the book of revelation is not known.

  it is thought to be "john" but they said it could have either been john the baptist, the apostle john, or maybe a completely different "john.

  what is the org's view?

  Pleasing Jehovah or Pleasing the Congregation??

  by worldlygirl in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was always annoyed with my ex for using the words "pleasing to jehovah" to describe certain actions.

  in actuality, he an his family (and i suspect others as well) seemed to be much more concerned with pleasing other witnesses or members of their congregations.

  as an outsider, it seemed to me that they were always looking for "loopholes" to get by with certain practices, as if they thought they could trick jehovah or that he wouldn't notice so long as they were not reproved or disfellowshipped.. my ex sister-in-law regularly spent the night with her boyfriend or he with her.
