also people who don't obey their parents. So i guess we're all doomed, eh?

One nice thing about JW, the "soon 2 come" part sounds soooo like Prince

No oh smart one he was praising Mani I told him why he should not be singing her praises. Had he been praising Prince I would have mentioned that he was married.

Anyone with a lick of sense knows P is a dog he tells you so in his own music.

laurarichardson said:

I know artists whose music is not all about their own personal lives, so I never assume what is said in music is all biographic and true. I guess Mayte should have had him read lyrics than take vows so she could figure out what to do...

You just contradicted yourself! Either you reject the "old laws and rituals" or you don't. If you do, then your 2nd bold statement is now void because calling homosexuals "illicit" comes from what you just rejected (i.e. what you call "The Old Covenant"). You can't have it both ways.




PREACH IT! It's a shame most right-wing fanatics don't bother to learn the Bible in its original languages (i.e. Hebrew and Greek). Maybe they'd learn the word "abomination" or in this case the original hebrew word which gets translated as "abomination" is believed by Biblical scholars to mean "Not part of our ritual" or "not fitting with ritual".

That is why things that seem pretty random to us in modern day (e.g. not eating certain foods like pork, not wearing linen and wool, etc.) all get called "abomination" or rather the Hebrew word. They are things which are not fitting with the ancient Israelites' rituals (and possibly/probably fitting with the other tribes' in the region rituals from which the Israelites wanted to specifically differ from).

That is why Right wingers can never answer why eating lobster or wearing a linen/wool sportjacket is an "abomination" like being gay becauue they don't even understand what they are quoting.

does this mean i don't have to follow the 10 commandments anymore, specifically the one about stealing? i got a yearning for some bootlegs.

Very true ...I think people request certain people to be nosy.Next there will be a thread saying Mani and Mayte are friends on FB etc.

DesireeNevermind said:

Hey .... you're the one who's said "reject the old rituals". So either you do or you don't.

And re: the Ten Commandments. So you're saying you reject the Old Covenant but still want to keep the 10 Commandments such as "Thou Shalt Not Steal"? Well then, you better keep the Sabbath in the literal sense too (part of the 10 Commandments)and not light fires etc, chop wood, etc on Saturday. I"m going to assume that is not the case. So what is it? Or do you reject only some of hte 10 Commandments but keep others?

Look, of course people can make decisions for themselves about how they personally want to observe, that's a personal choice.

But you were using Scripture to justify things and then contradicting the same verses you just quoted! You can't have it both ways.

I think Manuela is someone who would tell the Truth about LIFE! I don't think she is one to FRONT when she's not Happy . I think she's very UPFRONT which is a good thing. Someday,maybe Confidentially she will tell us the Truth about her Relationship with PRINCE. But,he being a GEMINI is NOT About To TOTALLY EXPOSED.

I'm with you and meltedman. I'm glad she called his ass out, no matter the medium.

I cannot get over how some sheepfans are making excuses for and supporting this ignorant bullshit of his.

kyla said:

Well, all Jehovah's Witnesses feel like that about gay marriage. It is part of their doctrine based on their interpretation of the Bible.

As Mani was baptised once, she too, must have accepted it or pretended to? Granted, she could have struggled with the issue.

Mani is quite correct in what she has written in terms of Jehovah's Witness belief. However, this is not Prince specific.

ernestsewell said:

First off he is right and he is not cherry picking. You just don't like the response he gave which is right.

meow85 said:

its not that we support his words, some of us are just not falling into this opportunistic trap set by mani to slam prince and put her on a pedastle.
we could talk about prince's standpoint on the matter, but i got some questions for her too you know

wonder505 said:

Exactly, I don't see anyone making excuses for him, when we don't really know how he stands on that issue. The comments are more geared toward everyone's curiosity as to what her intentions, if any, were or are for posting a comment like that out of the blue, where she had to know someone would take it and run with it, even if she does have the right to post whatever she wants. At the same time though, others have the right to question it. I mean it was posted on a public forum and you know how that goes.
[Edited 4/25/09 8:02am]

Well too bad for Mani, Prince didn't speak on Ellen.
Opportunity missed.

utopia7 said:

People definitely do that. I've even had it happen to me, which is why I don't just add any random person who requests to friend me. You have to be careful.

at Mani and Mayte on FB. That would be weird if they ever did form a friendship, although stranger things have happened! I guess they'd have a lot to talk about though...

Well, this thread sure took a step back in evolution.

2elijah said:

I see all kinds of fans making excuses for it. What Prince said, at best, was murky and that that publicly-made comment even hinted at negativity toward the issue should mean people take him to task for it.

I am certainly the last person to put Mani on a pedestal. Truth be told, I think she's as crazy as her ex-husband. But Mani-bashing, like on this thread, is stupid.

wonder505 said:

What's opportunistic about it? Facebook is a public medium, and people have a right to say whatever they want whenever they want about whoever they want on it.

meow85 said:

Well, with that being said, it's a public forum and people quite frankly are going to give their opinion on it anyway, even if you, I or anyone else thinks what they have to say about it is stupid. That's the internet for ya!

If it really was her, she certainly didn't seem to have a problem with his views when she married him.
She's sort of 'just as bad' for quietly going along for the years they were married.
So it seems his views are more important now that she's pissed at him.

meow85 said:

Where did I say she has no right? Can you copy and paste where I said that? She posted in a public medium that she quite sure knew would generate a reaction, and in my opinion, the reaction would be to slam Prince and make her look like the good one in support of gay marraige. and from what i see, mission accomplished on you, but not me. before i jump on the bandwagon and bash Prince in response to her statement, she's got some clarification to do in addition to Prince.

wonder505 said:

And His Highness has sure as hell got some clarification to do regarding his comment. I'm not siding with Mani -I felt this way before her comment.(if it was indeed her) I just don't see what's so evil and opportunistic about her saying something on Facebook.

2elijah said:

Indeed it is.

meow85 said:

that's find. we'll just have to disagree.

perhaps Prince should have been asked about his views on gold digging opportunist fans who sleep with married men,convince them to marry again, clear up in divorce court then spew their bitterness forth on public forums on the net.....

2 sides to every story.
