Let's translate what you wrote to me for those who don't understand French :

"I give you an advice, my little french girl, stop giving lessons to the others!!!
friendly"

What do you mean? Is it a threat?

Fortunately the "frogs" as you name French people, are not as intolerant as you seem to be!

You've been living here for years....perhaps not at the right place, sorry for your bad experience. I wonder why my neighbours are all english people? They must be crazy...or masochist

I don't care what religion Prince practices.

I'm all for the music

No matter his faith, he will still do what he wants, when he wants and with whomever and how many.

God HIMSELF says not to add to or take away from HIS word. The Jehovah's Witnesses have their own "bible" right based only on HALF of the HOLY BIBLE-KING JAMES version. HE (God) says that when we take away or add we are rendering HIS word a lie. Therefore, The Jehovah's Witnesses are liars plain and simple.

OK, I understand why he became a Witness in the first place. There was the tragic death of his much wanted son, the death of his father had already accured and some say his mother's dying wish was that he become a witness. Enter a man determined to convert him named Larry Graham and there you go.

My problem is that although his TRC CD was very pro JW's that was seven years ago and the stuff he released on Lotusflow3r is a far cry from witness beliefs. Given that it's obvious that that religion is a poor fit for him and goes against everything that he most cherishes, why is he still with them.

Examples;

JW's on using the word Hallelujah.
"Hallelujah!" That exclamation is commonly heard in Christendom's churches. Some people punctuare daily conversation with the expression. Few however, know its sacred meaning, and the lifestyle of many who use it dishonors God. "Hallelujah," explains one Bible dictionary, is a "word used by the writers of various psalms to join them in praising Jehovah." In fact a number of Bible schoflars point out that "Hallelujah" means "Praise ye Ja, [that is ] Jehovah."

Prince's view on the use of Hallelujah;

Well just listen to the song "Dance for Me". Seems combining the word with the words "makes me hot" is not a problem for P. I doubt that this is a song even an LA congregation would sing along to. Then this song also brings up the Bible scripture that JW's like to quote alot. "Everyone thatkeeps on looking at a woman so as to have passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart" Mathew 5;28.

Seems P aint too worried about what's going on in his heart.

Then there is the whole area of fornication. Another quote.
"Some youths have engaged in oral or anal sex or mutual masturbation, rationalizing that these acts are not so bad because they think they are technically not "having sex". Such youths forget - or may choose to ignore -that the Bible word for fornication includes all those practices, wrong conduct for which one might be disfellowshipped.

Seems P feels differently if the words of ELIXER are to be believed. He's all for it and sees nothing wrong with oral sex before or after marriage.

Then there is masturbation.

JW's think it leads to misconduct and should be avoided, They believe one should deaden that part of themselves so as not to develope a covetous sexual appetite.

P on the other hand thinks it's so great it's worthy of it's own song called "Here Eye Come".

Then there is the issue of Bragging, JW's preach against it.

P can't help but let you know the he is "The One" with all the goods, who will show you his life of luxery because he's "Mr Goodnight" and "There'll Never B Another Like Me".

I see HUGE differences in values here. So why stay with a religion that totally disagrees with you at every turn?

What keeps him there?
What religion should he choose next if he were to change now?
