I know that it has been posted here many times, but will someone post a link that has pictures of Mani 4 me...(its too much trying to go through all the different pages of topics to find it)! Also, other than the pictures of Prince and Mani at basketball games, does anyone have any never before seen pictures of her or them together?

They've been to Maui quite frequently. Maybe you could search some newspapers from there.
Other than the basketball games, I don't know of any more photos of her/them.
They had been dating 3 or 4 years before they got married, and I only saw a picture of her for the first time late last year. Definitely not an on the town, paparrazi couple.

You can find here the pix you wanna see:

It seems to me Prince is not attracted to his more mature audience. He seems to have young girlfriends/partners. I dont think the man has ever been in love before. The more successful celebreties seem to have partners of almost the same age and they are still going very well and going good (sting,Osborne,mel gibson, not to mention a few others. You know how it goes "behind every successful man, you find a wise woman". And wisdom only comes with age. I just hope he realizes this before he looses everything at such a young age. He has worked to hard to loose it all to the lust for younger woman. Hey us older ones are still attrative. Meg Ryan, Goldie Hawn. So many more! Like me!

She looks like a gold digger.

Good LAWD. S_H_U_T__U_P! How pathetic.

Never been in love? Have you heard of Susannah Melvoin? Mayte Garcia? Does he strike you as someone who takes love and marriage lightly? Perhaps a late-night after-Paisley-jam fuck -- but that's just humping.

BTW, "Wisdom comes with age," not "ONLY with age." You can have it already.

I think many celebriteis want young girls not only for their looks but also for control. A 35-40 yr old woman is not going to listen to Prince like a 20 something.

They couldn't be an on the town couple because Prince was married to Mayte while he was dating Mani.

That's why I don't think Mani is a JW. She was having an affair and living with a married man. Her presence in a married man's home helped to break up his relationship with his lawful wife. That is why Mani does not sound like a Bible taught, pious woman to me.

I would agree. What do they possibly have in common? I don't know about the JW thing though. It seems as though she would have to be at this point in his spiritual growth for her to be a JW. I wouldn't doubt that was part of the reason Mayte and he split up. She wasn't putting up with that.

Thanks for the info and link.....

Being in love and getting a marriage annulled dont sound so loving to me. So he has his need. Cant mistake it for love. But there are plenty of you who settle for less noth nothing!

First of all her name is MANUELA.....Secondly, aren't u guys kind of tired of dissing on Mani. We don't even know the woman, so why hate??? How could u assume that the RUMORS, yes I said RUMORS are true. Did Prince post all those "assumptions" on his website, or did I miss the big announcements on Oprah. Noone knows if Prince was dating Mani when he was married to Mayte. And as far as Mani being a gold digger, she sure hasn't made it public. You need to point the finger at Mayte, she's the one who had to attend all of Versace's parties and live the GLAMOROUS LIFE. And before u guys start to point the finger at Mani again, I happen to remember when Mayte wanted to stay out in New York in the wee hours hanging out with her designer and model friends, I also remember, Mayte hanging out with many different men, while being married to Prince and lastly and most remembered, Mayte calling her husband, "a washed up loser!" Ummmmm, who would stick around for treatment like that. I understand why Prince and Mani had decided to keep their personal affairs quiet, either way, it's still blown out of control. And Rebecca2, I beg to differ with u on celebs marrying people their own age, hello, wake up!!!!

I never heard anything about Mayte calling Prince a "washed up loser." I don't think she would do such a thing.

Mayte's boyfriend Tommy Lee hasn't been hot on the charts since the 80s.

Mani was indeed dating Prince while he was married. She was seen at Paisley Park walking around holding hands with Prince long before they were supposedly married.

There were rumors that Mani was doing things to deliberately get on Mayte's nerves, like flaunting gifts that Prince gave to her.

rebecca2 said:

Damn, that was exactly what eye have been thinking all along.

Like I said, rumors!!!! Where u there personally at Paisley Park???? How did u get that info...precisely...my point!! It's all a much of HEARSAY. Anyway, does it really matter, My the looks of it, Mani is much more of a wife than Mayte could ever be! Look at Prince's new attitude. Mani, whatever u are doing, keep it up!!

If Manuela is not a gold digger, what's with the $5 million mansion in her hometown?

Now that she run her rival out of town, she can't live in Chanhassen? She has to have her own mansion?

It's not that I'm a Mayte fan, I'm just saying that nobody should be seeing Manuela as some sort of saintly woman when what she did was weasel her way into Paisley, f*cked her boss, and ran his wife out of town.

"Eastern Gnosticism took a somewhat different course. Under the influence of traditional Iranian religion, the semi-Gnostic Manichaeism,Mani developed an absolute cosmic dualism between soul and matter. Moreover, it showed the enormous influence of Syrian asceticism, but it was equally rooted in popular Gnosticism and preserved its essential doctrines."
- Encyclopaedia Britannica


"A more extreme form of this dualistic religion was Manicheanism, named after its founder, the Persian sage Mani. Mani was born about AD 215 to a family whose religious beliefs were culled from a number of sources. Mani himself was initiated into the mysteries of Mithra, and he studied early Christian heretical sects before establishing his own religious philosophy in about AD 240, at the Persian court of King Shapur 1. Mani and his followers regarded the world as irreconcilably divided into the kingdoms of light and darkness, good and evil. They believed that Satan, born from the darkness, had robbed part of the light - or goodness - from primal man. Mani proclaimed himself the 'ambassador of the light' and set out a system by which humans could rid themselves of the darkness. Manichaeans practiced extreme asceticism in their struggle toward the light. They were forbidden, for example, to kill any animal or plant for food; in fact, they were even enjoined against the breaking of a single twig."

"Mani was taught by "the Egyptian philosopher and magician Terebinthus."
- Peter Tompkins, The Magic of Obelisks

"In the 'Hymn of the Pearl', a gnostic myth preserved in the apocryphal Acts of Thomas, a prince is sent into Egypt to recover the lost pearl. However, he falls under the spell of Egyptian magic and forgets who he is, where he has come from, and his destiny. meanwhile his twin, or double, continues to exist in his home. This double is his true self, his transcendental identity, who sends forth messengers to awaken his memory and recall him to himself. As the prince returns to his heavenly home, his double comes forth to meet him.
"In gnostic lore, the spiritual counterpart is sometimes experienced as an angel. Another version is the doctrine of the spiritual union, or syzygy, consisting of the feminine soul and her masculine counterpart, the spirit. (Twinship may also be shared by brother and sister; indeed, ancient Iranians believed that every man had a celestial image in the form of a beautiful maiden, with whom he was united on the third day after his death.) In Manichaeism, the spiritual double is, again, the twin. Mani...claimed to have a 'twin self' in the heavens, who came down and united with him, bringing revelations from the deity."

INTERESTING

Since when did holding hands with a member of the opposite sex mean you were on a date -

If I walk down the street holding my grandmother's hand - well ... you got one sick mind fella !!!!!

get a brain and stop feeding these retarded rumours



So many people - so few brains .....

FunkyStrange said:

Yes, I can understand why you have so "few brains." Crack cocaine use will do that to you...

By the way, you're a friggin retard if you think that a married man holding hands with his grandmother is the same as holding hands with a woman who is not his wife.

First of all this is a discussion forum and everyone has the right to discuss what they feel. For anyone to go around and say that Mani is a saint is also major BS. Mayte isn't scum of the earth and she has the right to have fun just as much as Prince does. If some people would open up their eyes and say yes its a possiblity that Prince and Mani were dating during their marriage because other wise the numbers don't add up. How could he be dating Mani for 3 to 4 years without not being involved with Mayte and Prince's life. Mani looks like a gold digger what is the deal with her $5 million dollar house? I feel Prince also often has closed eyes and ears. As for Mani being truly religious if she did try to get involved with Prince and break up his marriage with Mayte then Mani is greedy and should learn to take up territory to someone who is unmarried and didn't have a child with another woman

Yes, I can understand why you have so "few brains." Crack cocaine use will do that to you...


so do you mean crack or cocaine ?

OK, let me preface this by saying that I don't know what the situation is/was with Prince/Mayte/Mani. What I do find very disturbing in situations such as a single pursuing a married person is their motive. Time and time again, what I have noticed is that many singles like to prey on married peeps because it's a challenge. It's someone that they cannot have, it's "forbidden", "taboo" and that makes it exciting for them. It's not because they really love or care for that married person they're after. This especially goes for those single peeps out there who are used to getting what they want, when they want it from the opposite sex. In other words, the single person is on a trip to see if they can conquer. It's the thrill of the hunt for them. It's not about loving the married person at all. And, unfortunately, once they've stolen their heart and the kill has been made.....they are no longer truly interested. Sad but true.
