I have a question. Isn't Mani still a JW?

How does that work, if you divorce a JW?

I thought that you can't marry again, except either of them confess one's infidelity. What about the dupe?

And you get ejected from the faith comunity if YOU was unfaithful.

If she married again, she isn't JW anymore?

Oh, I didn't know she isn't a JW anymore.

Did she only become a JW for Prince to be able to marry him?

Glad to see her happy again.

Congratulations to the happy couple! She's been divorced for quite a while now, she's older and wiser. I hope it works out for the both of them!

^ maybe but it was WITH Prince that she went to the classes for the conversion. So one could say that her involvement with Prince was a factor in her conversion to JW.

(This is heresay from stories told on the Org and HQ, BTW)

It has also been reported that after Prince had a series of losses of people close to him in a short amount of time... (both parents, child etc) that he did some soul searching and was introduced to JW at the same time. When he felt led to convert to JW, Mayte who was raised catholic could not go along with it. It was reported that this was the final straw in their marriage. Then Mani comes along and showed interest in JW to the point that she ande Prince went to classes together... and the rest of the story we all know well.

Like someone said, Mani was very young and impressionable. I am amazed how young she was in Prince's video. I mean she looked very young and giggly like a school girl.

I hope she and Eric find the love and happiness that have eluded them in their past marriages. Also hope they have a baby. Honestly Mani seem like she would be a good mom. Level headed and patient are the vibes I get from the interviews I have seen of her.

Eric don't do it Honey! Run like the wind!!lol

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

^^
and my thoughts are that Mani should run from him. If the talk is true and mani quit prince because if infidelity what does she expect from Eric who is described as a serial cheater with no scruples. Honestly how could you cheat ON YOUR WEDDING DAY???!
