I am happy Mani came out about this and is letting people know that he is an extremely flawed individual instead of him always looking golden in the public eye.
Manuela...Hats off to you my dear! It is about time somebody came forward! ----- You don’t know P from Adam and you can’t go by what you read in the media. I don’t know to many homophobes who employ gay people on a regular basis, and associate with them in social gatherings. In addition, he works in the music industry it would be impossible for him to work if he hated homosexuals. I think he may have been misquoted in the article because everybody has as an agenda now a days which much more important than being honest. You also have no idea what goes on a P’s bible study you can certainly dislike a person’s behavior without hating the person which is what any true Christian would be glad to tell you but like a lot of people you don’t focus on real ordinary Christian people just the extremist nut cakes you see on some television program. I also think you need to rethink your praise of Mani who ran around with a married man is happy to live off of his money. | |

:: snipped for the people :: You're not really using "Adam and Steve" are you? LOL That's SO 1984. Betcha got "When Doves Cry" on repeat too. It also says if a child misbehaves that you should stone him, and that you should not eat pork. And that a woman on her period is unclean for 7 days and should stay away from every one. You can't cherry pick what you like and prune away what you don't. 1) Desire2006, you don't think Adam and Eve were real people do you? 2) Prince also seems to be taking the Bible literally when and where it suits him. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he is homophobic because these people often are. This discussion focuses on homophobia but he has made comments regarding the status of women, as well-same thing in my book. 3) Yes, it's disappointing but it is his choice. My choice would be whether I want to continue supporting him by buying his music. I was thinking about that yesterday while driving home listening to Lotusflow3r. I like it and at the same time there is an aspect to it that is turning me off which has to do with some of the lyrics. 4) I'll probably keep buying because I hope that this religious nonsense (there, I said it) will pass. Have to get to work now... | |

2elijah said: So what was Mani's point and concern in commenting about P's opinion on that issue? My mom always used to say, "You don't know what you've missed until the well runs dry." Sounds like Mani is holding some type of after-divorce grudge.
 She probably needs to keep her focus on her current man and watch what he's doing instead. Then again how do we know it was really Mani that sent that msg and not some fake? Ya never know.

freakyfeet said: Again - people posting "friends" PERSONAL messages from Facebook.
They kindly added you as a friend - why are you then making their comments available to the general public ? That's pretty sad. People shouldn't post anything on these social networking sites that they wouldn't want widely spread and/or known. And that especially goes for those people who will add almost anybody who requests as a "friend", and grow their list of friends into the multiple hundreds; you don't know who you can really trust and who you can't. | |

[Edited 4/23/09 6:36am] Hmm got a point there Sis. You just never know, but then again, why would she post on a public site regarding her ex-husband, with a comment like that unless she had malicious intent. Makes no sense really, but it does sound like the comment of a scorned woman. If it wasn't really her and it was an imposter then I take back what I said. Is that "Fury" playing in the background?

[Edited 4/23/09 6:36am] that's a fair statement. why is it that everytime P is challenged by the smallest detail folks come out the woodwork to lick his behind and all? it's gross. he's human. he doesn't agree w/ the gay marriage issue. deal with it. what does that have to do with our love of his music? | |

wonder505 said: damn Mani, you faked your interest in being a JW to begin with, then when you got his money, you suddenly lost interest and now you tryna shout him out in public. that's cold.
You know if she really did that I think it is worse than cold. I think it is very petty and immature. What's her problem? Being with Prince afforded her a life and lifestyle that she would have NEVER mustered on her on accord. What's done is done. Cut it and move on. How small of her to even post the comment? If she was so happy i her life now she wouldn't even be thinking about Prince and his comings and goings, let alone trying to pull him on the carpet about his opinions about gay marriage. What are her opinions? Oh that's right, no one cares. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

I don't want to stray this off topic, but let me say, as a gay born-again Christian, that I do read the Bible literally. HOWEVER, I also understand the origin of words, and I study that. I know that "abomination" and "unnatural" were NOT used in the sense in which the right wing church (a type of church I grew up in, mind you) uses to instill fear and guilt and shame. If Prince really dug into things like he thinks he has with "stauros", calling God "Jehovah" (while admonishing all other names of God), and really studied like he says he has, Manuela might not have seen that side of him, because there wouldn't have been one. Kudos to her for saying something. I don't think she "cares", but who actually LIKES to see hypocrisy in anyone, especially a public figure that people revere? | |

Desire2006 said: But that was the old Law Covenant. But when Jesus came 2 Earth and offered up his life as a ransome sacrifice his death put an end 2 those dogmatic old Laws and rituals,and he gave us new "laws" to live by, such as Love for one another and even for your enemies and he told us that Love should cover all aspects of life and Jesus told us that our first love should b towards God and if we truly love God first and foremost in our lives, then we should know Him as a person and what he requires of us as human beings and we should know what God loves and hates and one of the things he hates is illicit sexual acts!!!!
I sooo don't want to interfere with this but why do these Jesus stories always get in here between the bashing. You're trying to make a point and start talking about Adam and Eve, Eve who he supposedly made out of a rib (or was that Cher) and then they multiplied themselves, making the world's new power generation but wasn't that by means of incest? Now THAT ain't illicit
How can anyone believe this stuff. Isn't it all about loving the people around you and trying to be a nice and honest person? Not more not less. | |
