The org. is the only place that some of these people can have a voice. In many cases nobody listens to them or cares about what they have to say, they don't really count. so they come on here and make cyber-friends and bitch about whatever, whenever they can. Sad, but true. confused



I agree, SOME do. As for that woman who wants to marry Prince, she isnt the only one here who thinks that..she is just one of the few that put it out there. There are those who would drop it all for him, but are too afriad to admit it publically for fear of ridicule. Its madness to waste your time on somebody you will never have a relationship with. A complete and utter waste of your life.

In the particular case of the New Yorker interview...I didn't find out about it here on the Org. I found out about it on the front page of the Huffington Post, who got their story from Perez Hilton's site. So this time, it's not us blowing anything out of proportion. shrug

I don't think skywaker was referring to how we got the story...just how it was blown outta proportion once we read it here...as usual.

ur right. they can look to him for his condemnation of their behavior

when no-one even asked for his personal opinion.


see...to me this is classic over reaction....he did NOT condem anyone. geesh.
and he WAS asked his opinion on it....

oh and someone correct me if I'm wrong but JW do not believe that Jesus is the son of God there for he is NOT a "christian"

I don't know...but I just went and looked it up and I was INCORRECT. They do believe Jesus is the son of God, but NOT God himself. So that is why they don't worship Jesus for he is not God and we should only worship one God.
(I'm just typing out what I found) so I still think that means that JW do not consider themselves "christians" ...I could still be wrong about that though

ugh. this discussion? again? really?
look. the age-old argument between whether or not this is a fan worship site or a fan discussion site, is just that. OLD.

personally i think whatever people want to discuss in here is fair game. people in here really take it too far. they act like Prince comes in here, reads what's said about him and is somehow hurt by it. it's ridiculous.

and as far as the topic at hand, i think it's absolutely fair and relevant to discuss his recent statements in reference to the gay community. for someone that built his empire with the implication of being gay, to openly promoting bi-sexuality with his lyrics and live performances, to turn around now and say some shit like that is at the least epically hypocritical, and at a time with equal rights for the gay community is probably our latest global civil rights struggle, is unforgivable in my book.

but that's just my opinion.

Tame Tame, as much as I like you this kind of remarks make me boil a little inside.
This Christian ... about not approving the homosexual lifestyle, coming from a 2000 year old book.
You see, that's why I can't accept the church. In a way I do believe there is something but more deep inside. I absolutely HATE the hypocrisy of the church since the church fanatics, priests etc cover soooo many gay and pedofile people so I really don't want to hear from them (not meaning you) what to do and what not.
For an example that American ass (a politician?) comes to mind who condemned homosexuality, overly religious, 5 kids, such a sweet and good man (barf) and bam, turned out he went to male whores for years, I get sick of that kind of hypocrisy. I thought being a Christian means being good, kind and honest and above all tolerant. The real fanatics don't seem to be all of that.

yes ur words ring true my friend wink heres a snippet from another thread yesterday

Homosexuals do not deserve to claim taxes as married, because the government is based on a moral absolute and the Bible is the source, regardless of those that break the law, common or divine.

the bible is also the source for the the pope and members of the vatican who cover up child abuse by people in there own circle, the bible is also the source for many needless wars, in my opinion there is a god..but i dont beleive in any religion thats written by human hand on this earth cuz i truly think that religion is satans work in any of its diffrent forms


you remember that old saying? about the devil greatest trick is convincing man he dosent exist?....well what better why than 2 hide than behind a mask of religions were the word "Love" gets used alot by its leaders who say it and toss it around, but dnt do act upon its meaning...may they all burn in hell pray (God 4give me)

Without a doubt, we are at the epicenter of Prince fandom here at prince.org.

To me, this latest flap with New Yorker interview is the latest in a long line of Prince "drama" that has been (as usual) blown way out of proportion by many hardcore fans. From his religion, to Larry Graham, to his marriages, to his alleged hip surgery, etc---there is always a section of fans here that get very dramatic over stuff that the rest of the world doesn't know or care about.

Example: How many people that you ran into at the 02 or during the Musicology Tour knew and or cared that Prince is a Jehovah's Witness? The bulk of the people I met didn't know, and really didn't care.

Question:Is it the nature of a fan website to heavily scrutinize and dramatize every little action of the person the site is devoted to? Or, are Prince [b]fans just extra crazy?

[Edited 11/18/08 12:54pm]



Fans are just crazy generally speaking. Has nothing to do with Prince really. This could be a homey the clown fansite and drama would thrive. I think this place is just a vehicle for many to bitch and bemoan. Nothing wrong with bitching and bemoaning but that s/b reserved for GD.

On the other hand, if these really are hardcore fans (doubtful as they would focus on the music mostly) then why no uproar at Prince's alleged objectification of women, lack of philanthropy and embassadorship, absense of public commentary on the Iraq war etc.? hmmm Yeah a couple gripe here and there but not to the degree that so many lately have been pounding on their big monkey chests about Prince supposedly not liking gays or soup or whatever. I think he coulda said or rather been misquoted as saying "God saw everyone laughing too hard and being too lazy so he said enough and gave us global warming" and nobody woulda said shit or got mad. I think when so called Prince fans meet so called political incorrectness then all hell break loose on the org borg mothaship. disbelief I guess my point is...some people wanted something to be angry at Prince about and they found it. Some people like prince drama more than a little bit, more than they actually like Prince. talk to the hand

At its most basic, a Christian is one who believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God/the creator, a diety and you follow his teachings/beatitudes. You can't access God but thru Jesus first. Its gets sketchy b/c some folks think that being Christian does not also mean you follow the old testament as well. JWs don't believe in the holy trinity or something like that, then again, they aren't very Christlike at times anyway so wuteva
