Real Jehovah's Witness?

I wonder what sort Jehovah's Witness prince really is,

I know several who have dropped out of their church and had

a couple of friends at school who were siblings.

What I do know is that they never got to go to parties with us,

go to the movies , listen to music, TV programs were almost forbidden,

they could not even go and have a cup of coffee with us , dating was forbidden unless it was someone from the church and that would lead to marriage,

they always got boring books to read in school because the parents did not they would read books that could contain sex or violence and such things.

I can do endless list of rules as a true Jehovah's witnesses must follow however, the rules dont seem to apply to our little prince.

I know that their church is hard with the rules, and it applies to everyone.

Not even such a thing , he can take seriously, he really lives in the prince 's world,

believe me, I do not care about his faith, but stop being hypocritical about a lot of stuff and be real for once , Jehovah's Witnesses do not accept that a man wear makeup or dress like a girl and have high heels. What I wonder is whether Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States or minneapolis is different than here in Sweden or if prince simply choose the rules that suit him?

My English is not so good but I think you understand me anyway.

I just think that prince is old enough to behave like a man,

mean what you say and say what you mean, I'm more tired of his bullshit than on his bad music, and that he doesnt keep his word. He has promised a lot of stuff and where is it?

Dont read it

I choose what I want to read before I click the subject or topic or whatever it is called, why cant you do the same?

or should I write what YOU want to talk about?

Here in Sweden we have the right to talk about just what the hell we want,

it is a right we have, and if you do not like something, you just move on and let those who are interested to discuss topics, to discuss, go and have a cup coffee instead.

I have never criticized anyone else's threads, but here it seem like it's everyone's favorite, criticizing only.

I posted the gif because this topic has been beaten to death over and over again. I just find it telling that people want to scrutinize Prince's practice of his faith. Every organized religion is imperfect and so do many people who are members of that religion. People in glass houses...

JWs DO go to movies, they DO listen to music, they DO watch TV, they do drink(although not to get pissed out of their brains) but do not smoke or take illegal non-prescription drugs, they DO mix and socialize with non-JWs!! Dating is NOT forbidden, but sex outside of marriage is forbidden(and I can see why, particularly now with AIDS and other STDs as well as other horrific things like abortions and unwanted and teen pregnancies as well as all the emotional heartaches it causes) and they are advised to date with a chaperone or in groups!!

Even as a non-JW it never appeals to me to read books, like 50 Shades Of Grey, or any other erotic literature!!

JW beliefs dont vary according to location either!!

Maybe Prince only wears his stilettos and make-up and his girl-type clothes when on stage and at other public events, but in his private life he dresses more conservatively!!

But, anyway, I seriously have my doubts as to whether he is a TRUE JW or ever has been, cos for one thing his shrewd business practices give me doubts, as well as the way he treats his fans is a cause of debate as to whether he is a true JW or not!!

No religion is prefect, we can only trust our faith and try to live a rightous life according God's words.

At least he has taken a stand for what he believes, So what if he's not prefect at it? I doubt you will find many who are and that is in any religious organization. no no no!

Antichrist will easily co-opt today's technology for the prophesied purposes

It is very easy for me to see how the antichrist will control the world. He is prophesied to be a man who will come in peace uttering flatteries, (Daniel 8:25, Daniel 11:32) but instead will reveal his evil at the Abomination of Desolation. He is called the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3) because he will be the embodiment of all that is most thoroughly evil.

EPrata photo
We are born depraved. Every person is born with evil in them as our sin nature controls us. But not all of us do the worst evil that can be done. There are some nice people who try to do good in philanthropy or by religious works. Rocker Bono is known as the former and 'Mother' Theresa was known as the latter. This is not to say that they don't or didn't have a heart of evil, only that unconverted people with a sin nature CAN do good, it's just not the kind of good that Jesus accepts as good. (Romans 3:10-12; Psalm 14:1-3; Psalm 53:1-3). Hitler was an example of how far along the 'evil spectrum' a man can go, but even Hitler didn't come near to plumbing to the bottom of the evil that a man can do. The antichrist will be that man. This surprises many to think there can be a worse man than Hitler, but it is no surprise to Jesus, for He knows what is in a man. (John 2:25)

The coming antichrist will rule every aspect of the left behind people's lives. In the geo-political realm, he will
rule the whole world, all peoples, nations, tongues, tribes.(Daniel 2:40, Revelation 13:7-8). The only nation that is prophesied to escape the antichrist's hand will be Jordan. (Daniel 11:41). It is no coincidence that this is where Jesus urged the people to run when the Abomination of Desolation occurs and where the remnant will be personally protected during the Tribulation. It will be the location of the conversion of Israel. (Matthew 24:16, Isaiah 63:1, Revelation 12:6, Zechariah 12:10).

If prince would escape from the antichrist and flee to Jordan, I hope he does not bring shelby j, because then the antichrist will find them immediately when she start screaming "put yours hands in the air ... say ohhhh!"

But on the other hand, it might not be a bad idea, I would not be sorry if the woman could burn in hell someday. She looks like a demon anyway.

I say this everytime this question comes up:

Prince thinks he's a real Jehovah's Witness.

Within all religious denominations you'll find those who are more literal, and those who are more allegorical. You'll find those who are more devout, and those that bend the rules. So at the end of the day, Prince thinks he's a Jehovah's Witness, and that about sums it up. Shame, really.

You think people who are so called "real Jehovah Witnesses" don't bend the rules. I have Jehovah Witnesses in their family and they may dress conservatively and spout the rhetoric but hardly devout. My point is that, it's easy to judge a public figure who is a member of a faith and sit high and mighty and judge whether he is a real JW or not. As long as he is serving the God that he loves, who cares.

Well, if you're using your public platform for spouting your religious bullshit, then yes you should be held accountable for what you say.

exactly what I wanted to say, start treating us fans with respect, stop lying and making promises you never keep and live by what you preach,

otherwise you make yourself look ridiculous and your religion by your behavior. You can not be Jehovah's Witness private and then look like a transvestite on stage,

JW is against gay people and it is also prince, so please, stop look so gay if you're going to criticize them.

Keep your religion to yourself and your pets larry graham. I can not tolerate double standards, do not care if it's Prince or anyone else.

Damn, several weeks have passed without a new 40-second version of days of wild or musicology ...

I think there's a fundamental difference between common folk JWs (who, most of the time, are extremely simple people living extremely simple lives), and JW rock stars, where this kind of (weird) religion is also part of a style, almost like a stylish outfit you put on. I doubt the two get in contact much or even know much about each other.

And I doubt the JW functionaries have anything against high-profile people talking positively about their religion and pumping money into their churches.
