Let it go, you women.

The rule is: this thread is about Prince: not about any of his women, nor how you feel about them feeling about him, nor how you feel about how somebody else feels about them and how they feel about him.

The point is she's nt willing to make a statement about Prince.

Yes, and more than willing about m&m

But MY point is, God's "Plan", is NOT "exclusive to Prince".

Thus, it is NOT something to hide and be secretive on, pretending as if it it's only "something between God and Prince".

God is inside all of us and is all knowing. Isn't that what Prince says also?

But we can't know God, unless we truly want to know God. And we can't talk about God, unless we truly want to express ourselves about God.

Am I REALLY wrong?

It has a lot of sounds tho'.

Sounds of doors opening

And the more doors open, the more heavenly it gets

It's like an invitation

I think there is nothing wrong to think, to meditate, to talk, to express and communicate on such a thing.
Al contrario, yo creo que el Principito nos invita.

If it's true, really true, that Prince accepts he is no king, won't be king and doesn't want to be king.

Because there is something "higher" than him.

Then what is his purpose?

I am here to tell you that there is a better way

Again, what other POPular Artist spreads 'The Word' like Prince does?

What other POP figure does 'The Work' like him?

Not saying here that what he does, is so great or wonderful>

Just asking and wondering, when it comes to THE LORD, am I missing out on something?

What other POP artist would dare to share a song so vulnerable as Solo?

So low, the curb looks like a skyscraper
So high, the stars are under me
So quiet, I can hear the blood rushing through my veins
So low, I feel like I'm going insane
The angels, they watch in wonder
When U made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder
U cried in ecstacy

And U were so kind
I felt sorry 4 all creation
Because at the time, no 1 was lucky
no 1 was lucky, no 1 was lucky as me

And now U're gone and I just wanna be still
So silent, I'll just let my senses sleep

It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If I ever learn once more 2 speak

I'm so lost, no 1 can find me
And I've been looking 4 so long
But now I'm done
I'm so low, solo, my name is No 1



or as Thieves in the Temple?


Love - come quick
Love - come in a hurry
There are thieves in the temple 2night

They don't care where they kick
Just as long as they hurt U
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Love - if U're there come save me
From all this cold despair
I can hang when U're around
But I'll surely die if U're not there


I feel like they're looking 4 my soul (Soul)
Like a poor man looking for gold (Gold)
There are thieves in the temple 2night
Voices from the sky say rely on your best friend 2 pull U through
But even if I wanted 2 I couldn't really truly cuz my only friend is U
Come on
There are thieves in the temple 2night

Kicking me in my heart
Tearing me all apart (Tearing me, tearing me, tearing me all apart)
Cuz me and U could have been a work of art
Thieves in the temple
Baby, don't U know I'm holding on the best that I can
Love - please help me be the better man
Better than the thieves in the temple, in the temple 2night
Oh, thieves in the temple (2night) 2night
Hurt me




U said U loved me!
U said I was your baby!
U was supposed 2 take care of me! (Love - come quick)
U lied! (Love - come in a hurry)
Lied! Lied!
Thieves in the temple 2night
Lied!

You have to post the lyrics to the long version. He gets more vulnerable.

I'm holdin' on (I'm holdin' on) the best that I can
Love please, (let me be) let me be the better man
Better than the ones that wanna count me out
Better than the ones that don't know what my love's about
I'm talkin' 'bout the kinda love that can move a mountain
The kinda love that could part the sea
The kinda love that'll last 4 ever
(no matter what u say we should be together)
U should be with me (thieves in the temple)
Yeah, u should be with me

I said I wanna know (talk to me)
one thing (talk to me)
said I wanna know (talk to me)
I wanna know one thing, baby (talk to me)

How come you said that I was your baby
When u and your love was gonna leave
U led me on, led me on thinkin' U was Moses
Herding sheep blindly through a fantasy
U done me wrong (thieves in the temple)
And everybody knows it
Now the sound of my voice is pumpin' in your chest
More or less, I am here to tell u that
I am the best
Better than the rest
Better than the thieves in the temple tonight
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, hurt me

(Put it in)
Thieves in the temple
Thieves in the temple
Thieves in the temple
Thieves in the temple tonight

Put your foot on the rock
Let me show you how to clock

Put your foot on the rock
Let me show you how to clock

Thieves in the temple
(What the....?)

Who got the party, who got the party, who?
Who got the party, who got the party, who?
Who got the party, who got the party, who?
Who got the party, who got the party, who?

(hurt me)

Have you ever been so lonely
That you felt like you were the
Only one in this world?

Have you ever wanted to play
With someone so much you'd take
Any one boy or girl?

Anna Stesia come to me
Talk to me, ravish me
Liberate my mind
Tell me what you think of me
Praise me, craze me
Out this space and time

Between white and black, night and day
Black night seemed like the only way...
So I danced

Music late, nothing great (Music late, nothing great)
No way to differentiate (No way to differentiate)
I took a chance

Gregory looks just like a ghost
And then a beautiful girl the most
Wets her lips to say

"We could live for a little while
If you could just learn to smile
You and I could fly away, fly away."

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn to love
I mean the right way, I mean the only way
Perhaps you could show me, baby (show me, baby)

Maybe, maybe, maybe I could learn to love
If I was just closer to somethin' (closer)
Closer to your higher self
I don't know
Closer to heaven (Maybe) closer to God (closer to God)

Save me Jesus, I've been a fool
How could I forget that you are the rule
You are my God, I am Your child
From now on, for you I shall be wild
I shall be quick I shall be strong
I'll tell Your story, no matter how long (no matter how... no matter)

We're just a play in Your master plan
Now, my Lord I understand

(I understand)

Love is God, God is love
Girls and boys love God above

I only have a couple minutes to respond but I would just like to say that I totally disagree that God is within all of us. That's totally against what Scripture says.

*

Let's go down to the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered
You can still see the picture upon the wall
One eye staring at nothing at all

The other one trying to focus through all your tears
You can try and try but there's nothin' to hide
You can't run from yourself and what's inside
You got to find the answers to the questions that you most fear

So over and over you ask your soul
Why'd you come down to a world so cold?
And the voice inside says, tonight the truth will be told

You surrounded yourself with all the wrong faces
Spending your time in all the wrong places
Puttin' your faith in things that only make you cry
People say, they love you when they wanna help
But how can they when you can't help yourself?

The more they say they love you, the more you just wanna die
So here we go again, the self analysis
Have another glass of port and uh, forget this
The band's playin' at the club tonight and they're bound to groove

There you are, you think you're high
You can't ask yourself 'cuz you'd only lie
If you had a dollar for every time you tried

You can't call nobody 'cuz they'll tell you straight up
Come and make love when you really hate 'em
Relationships based on the physical are over and done
They're over and done
(They're over and done)

You'd rather have fun
With only one, with only one
Only one, one
(One)

And then it hit 'cha like a fist on a wall
Who gave you life when there was none at all?
Who gave the sun permission to rise up everyday?
(Ooh, oh, yes)
Let me tell it
(Go'n)

If you ask God to love you longer
Every breath you take will make you stronger
Keepin' you happy
(Happy)

And proud to call His name
(Go'n' and say it)
Jesus
(Jesus)

And over and over you ask your soul
Why'd you come down to a world so cold?
And the voice inside said, tonight the truth will be told
And this time I was listening, hear me

Let's go down to the holy river
If we drown then we'll be delivered
(Yes, we will)
If we don't then we'll never see the light
(No)

If you die before you try
You'll have to come back and face the light
(Oh, yes)
When you believe it, you got a good reason to cry
(Oh my, my)

So I went on down to the holy river
I called my girl and told her, I had something to give her
I asked her to marry me and she said, yes, I cried
Oh, that night I drowned in her tears and mine
And, and instead of a glass of sorrow and wine

Looking back y'all, I don't miss nothing except the time
And when I see that picture upon the wall
The one eye staring at nothing at all
My eyes trying to focus but these are much different tears
Oh yes, they are

Let's go down to the holy river
Let's go down to the holy river
Let's go down to the holy river

Let's go down to the holy river
Let's go down to the holy river
Let's go down to the holy river

Yes, both of them (M & M) dwell within the darkness. You can say and think whatever you like.

*

That's the God's honest truth and it's the truth that can set you free (if you're willing to embrace it).

*

There's reality and then there's fantasy. Living in a fantasy world is living in the devil's zone. He's the father of lies, deception and fantasy. God wants us to bring all things INTO THE LIGHT where it can be exposed for what it is and we can be set free.

*

Time to call it a night.

*

Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite.

*

[Edited 8/24/13 18:45pm]

Who are YOU to say?

Yes, I follow the Messiah.

*

I don't usually refer to him as the Christ.

Tremolina said:

It will be revealed to you in time. Be patient. God is faithful.

Why not as the Christ?

So you think you can claim things in the name of God and then get away with it like that.

the truth is:

you choose to reveal yourself on this thread

not just your name and who you are, also how you really feel about Prince and especially 2 of his women.

That's fine, I am not prohibiting you to do so.

But I am asking you to let it go

UNLESS, okay unless there is something between you, God and him going on right now. However, in THAT case, you shouldn't be here in the first place, so either you need to let it go, or stop playing these games.

[Edited 8/24/13 19:02pm]

There's absolutely nothing between me and Prince.

*

I can say whatever I like. This is still a free county (I think).

*

I don't play games.

*

I'm done with this conversation. I'll let God handle it in His own time. I trust Him fully.

*

Take care. All the best.

*

But there is a lot between you and m&m

Obviously.

You can do whatever you like, stop this conversation, continue it, hide from it, or confront it.

head on, or head in the sand. Up to you.

As it is up to me:

The thing I am really interested in is the G thing, not the M thing.

But that's not what you want to talk about. So perhabs Superconductor was right:

Not really sure where this conversation between us is going: it is about Prince and we open up one road (God) but then block it up it with another (M&M).

Love stuffed by hate.

[Edited 8/24/13 19:12pm]

more than 5000 views, all because of this??

I don't hate anyone. Saying someone is walking in darkness doesn't mean you hate them. I don't have any feelings regarding either of them.

*

ONCE AGAIN, I didn't bring M up. . . . YOU DID! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Go back a few posts and you'll see what I mean. GET REAL!

*

You also accused me of hate. PROJECTION! I don't hate anyone.

*

You have no idea what I feel for anyone. You're talking out of your a** at the moment. I just got done telling you that I have no feeling whatsoever for any of these people. Obviously, you don't believe me. I'm just calling a spade a spade. I have NO FEELINGS FOR THESE PEOPLE.

*

Please stop bringing up "M" if you don't want to talk about "M". It's ludicrous! That's YOUR DOING. NOT MINE!
*

Please, for the the love of God, stop projecting on me.

*

Take care.

*

T, if God is with you now, there is no need to overreact like that.

You have an issue with m&m, fine,

but this thread is about Prince.

You also have a relationship with God

and that's fine too. Wonderful even

But you claim to know God wants to take Prince where no man has gone before.

I am really curious about that and I am not playing games when I say that.

So would you like to talk about that?
of course you don't have to, but if you can let the other stuff go, I would be really interested in what you have to say

I'm not overreacting. I have a right to be fed up and that's OK! That's not a crime. I'm in touch with my feelings.

*

I don't have any issue with any of these people. Please stop with that. I could care less about any of them. Honest. Please let it go! If you don't want to talk about them, then don't bring them up and project hate on me. Projecting hate on me is so far from reality that it's bordering on insane. I'm not supposed to react when you project hate on me? Please. Get real! Stop it already. I have every right to stick up for myself. I'm not going to take being projected on ANY MORE. YOUR THE ONE THAT HAS TO LET THE STUFF GO because you're the one who keeps bringing it up. NOT ME!

*

Please stop the nonsense.

*

I'm so very sorry that I brought up anything about Prince and God's plan. I really, really regret it at this point. I more than regret it.

*

I want the very best for Prince and may God bless him wherever he may go and whatever he may do. I honestly wish him the very best. I always have.

*

Please let it die. Also, don't tell me what to think, what not to think, what to say, what not to say what to perceive, what not to perceive, what to judge and what not to judge. etc. Let me be me. Don't try to control me or tell me what to do & what not to do.

*

God will reveal things in His time.

*

We should probably let this thread die a quick & sudden death.

*

[Edited 8/25/13 15:51pm]

Oh yes, and btw, no one on this thread has acknowledged or commented on how I was treated by my friend who was healed. No one has anything to say about that? No empathy or compassion? Should I have been compared to the perpetrator? Was that OK? My friend could not tell the difference between me and the evil perpetrator. My friend saw the two of us as "the same". No difference.

*

Does anyone see a problem with this? Is that even logical? Is it unjust? Uncalled for? Rotten? Evil? I pray for a friend, the friend is miraculously healed and then the friend turns around and compares me to the evil perpetrator who did the damage?

*

Tell me, was it OK for my miraculously healed friend to compare me to evil when all I did was something good?

*
