    that's too bad, hope it wasn't because of his beliefs and he refused treatment or something stupid

    • Interesting. Didn't know he was a Jehovah's witness.VectorMasked
    • pretty certain he wasn'tmonospaced
    • I think he was, it's been widely reported_niko
    • From what I know about that religion, they really wouldn't be cool with the partying and dancing aspect of the pop star, y'know?monospaced
    • They don't even celebrate birthdays or holidays, they're that stoic.monospaced
    • I think he was, there are types of JWsdrake-von-drake
    • understoodmonospaced
    • Don't know if this is credible but...http://www.jwf...drake-von-drake
    • he was... and once again mono... you are miles off on your understanding of a group of people you obviously don't like (I was raised a JW, my dad is one)PonyBoy
    • I knew JWs growing up, and I'm not "miles off." If you didn't notice, I wrote "understood" because I understand there are different types now.monospaced
    • I didn't say I didn't like them! Don't put words in my mouth!monospaced
    • First off—you referred to them as stoic cuz they don't celebrate holidays or birthdays in the sense in which you do—how is that 'stoic'?PonyBoy
    • And since when do JW's not 'party and dance'? :) You make some weird statements / judgements based on your feelings, mono... not reality.PonyBoy
    • eh... don't want to argue w/you though :)
      <3 I'd rather listen Prince and smoke this weed (cuz I'm not exactly a 'man of faith' so I'll stop yammering on here)      PonyBoy
    • @pony, dude haven't you noticed yet, that's democrap logic, assume and ignore indisputable data and results from real experiences. Clownsdrake-von-drake
    • +1 PBimbecile
    • @PonyBoy, The JWs I knew weren't allowed to celebrate birthdays, and frowned upon things like dancing and parties in general. It's not based on feelings.monospaced
    • They couldn't go to the school dances, fairs, or parties. Maybe they were extra stoic? Ugh, sorry, didn't mean to offend.monospaced
    • You use terms like 'frowned upon' and 'weren't allowed'... did you ever stop and think they were happy to be that way? It was uncomfortable to you...PonyBoy
    • ... but not necessarily to them. The things that you 'felt' were weird were indeed that to someone outside looking in... ... but just feelings. :)PonyBoy
    • and they may have not gone to 'your' events but they had plenty of their own or perhaps others they went too—doesn't make them 'stoic' or anti-party, dude. :)PonyBoy
    • Just makes them different.
      Again... <3 Don't want to argue. I battle you hard from time to time and I need to chill on that... sorry to be so defensive. <3      PonyBoy
    • I said, the JWs I knew followed the "rules" that they could not celebrate birthdays, for religious reasons. I'm not making an opinion, this was fact.monospaced
    • I don't know how many times i have to say I understand it's not universal before you get off your defensive high horse and off my nuts. Holy shit!monospaced
    • Jehova his Lorddrake-von-drake
    • Your OPINION is that they are STOIC and don't dance etc (third time I've said this now)...which they are not. If it's not 'universal' why would you even say it?PonyBoy
