The conflict arises when Prince on the one hand doesn't want to have his private life exposed to public scrutiny but on the other hand very much encourages the spreading of his private views and beliefs through the NPGMC. No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

katt said: Anxiety said: I've even heard rumors that Prince has recorded hymns that are only for the ears of those in his religious "special circle". I think this is bunk, because if these songs were so private, why would people go blabbing about 'em on a message board? Whether this whole concept of a "special JW club" is real or fabrication, it makes a mockery of the true message of the faith and only serves to alienate.
what can ya do? Its not a rumour it is true, why they are blabbing about them i have not clue sounds like they are trying to show how special and important they are and they are the ones that talk about Idolatry they should step back and take a long good look at themselves. I actually made a comment about it at the time, this one person called me an apostate , and a lot off other words to boot, i was told if i don’t like then don’t stay and if i say anything about it they would get me banned, and now i have been shunned by certain people, like i care, i care for all people not just those who beleive the same as me. If there gonna preach then try and walk like Jesus, he actualy loved us all. I’ve really had enough off it all, people need to grow up and realise prince is just doing a job that’s in the publics eye, were not invited into his private life, he aint gonna employ them and he’s never gonna become good buddies, hey were only consumers, i enjoy the mans music but his private life and beliefs are his own just like all off us. To be honest these certain people make me question who i am associating with, the way they are going on the next thing they will be declaring him as a messiah just like they done with Michael Jackson.

Hey KD, unbelievable that of all people this happened to you.
PPs divulging personal info to other members is unforgivable, in the real world this would cost someone's job. My advise is to try and not take it too personal, not all but most of these PPs forgot how to use their brains a long time ago. Some are clearly dealing with anger issues and are downright bitter. Ironic that this PP1 had no problem divulging personal info about a member, but happily hides behind the anonymous PP moniker him/herself.

Third...we have always known that PPs are also members and sometimes use their member names and even chat. So anyone who did things they shouldn't have had lots of time to establish a pattern of behaviour. I will admit, as someone said, not many JWs hit the chat anymore...but for other reasons than having a special place... I don't go because of the frivolous childish behaviour that goes on so much... It's ok if that is what they wanna do...but it's just not me. I went in today, and immediately the room started saying things directed at me...like...faker, people who pretend...I simply ignored it. So childish. Even here I very seldom frequent GD, and I never go in chat....unless someone pms me and asks me to come in there...and that might have happened once this year. Think what you want...but facts have just been stated. Fact 1...there is no special room for Jehovah's Witnesses Fact2...There is no special Prince music for Jehovah's Witnesses.

If prince made a sound recording of an old hymne or used some Bible texts the sound recording is copyrighted (automatically by law), but the underlying hymne or Bible text is not. As for the allegations of alienating certain members, that is nothing new to me. Prince, nor the club, in recent years, have shown that they truly follow the norms and values they claim to hold dear. You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security. | |

[This message was edited Sun May 2 20:31:45 2004 by katt] I do not know ALL Katt, but the little I know...I do know. U don't have to check with any lawyers to find out if our music is copyrighted. The Lord's prayer did not originate with JWs.....so of course it is not private property. But look inside your songbook and you will see: Copyright, 1984, by Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennslyvania. Also, dear sister, I call no one a liar. People said they heard "rumors". None of the posters said they knew anything for a fact....so I supplied the facts. Why do people get upset when someone supplies information? It does not mean I think I know everything...but everybody knows something. I just happen to know the 2 things I mentioned. I mean no disrespect to you either, as I love you dearly. And I also have the "song" on my computer....along with a few I sang myself. When friends tell you it's for you only, they are trying to protect everyone involved from what could become a pure mess...if that song shows up for sale on ebay...and U know that could happen. Someone shared it with you, no doubt to encourage you...that our brother played one of our favorite Kingdom Melodies. I know it encouraged me. But it's a Kingdom song...not a commercial endeavor.

Hello Abrazo. How are you sweetie? All the hymns in our songbook are written and composed by JWs. They are contibuted. They are not standard hymns that you would find in any other songbook. No names are mentiones as to honor the contributor. Many times we get together and sometimes we sing kingdom songs or musicians may play them. Larry Graham has done similarly...as well as lesser known musicians. But the compositions belong to the WT Bible and Tract Society. It's good to hear from you.

These are the lyrics to the song that was played. (he did not sing them).
Katt, correct me if I am wrong and you have some other recording. Life Without End--- at Last! Can you see with your mind's eye, People dwelling together? Sorrow has passed. Peace at last! Life without tears or pain. (sing out with joy of heart. You, too, can have a part. Live for the day when you'll say: "Life without end at last!") Man and beast, living in peace, Cause no harm to each other. Food will be there. All will share. In what our God provides. (chorus) In those days old will grow young, Flesh revived as in childhood. Troubles are gone, from now on No need to weep or fear. (chorus) Paradise all will enjoy As they sing to God's glory. Yes everyday we will say To God, our Maker, "Thanks!". (chorus) From Sing Praises to Jehovah...copyright, 1984, by Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania .
