The "Prince" as we knew him is gone...he’ll never work with Wendy and Lisa because the JW’s don’t approve of their lifestyle…..he’ll never perform MANY (if not most) of the songs that made him “who he is” because the JW’s don’t approve of the content (sexual or religious).
It’s sad…..he can never be himself. If he were to come to my door I would do what I do to every other person who tries to push their ideas and beliefs on me…….I would question the reason for his. Twas like thunder! ThunderCer Prince can work with whomever he choose to work with! It doesn't matter about their sexual orientation. I used to work in the entertainment business and I know other JWs that still work in the industry. I have never heard anyone say I don't want to work with a person because he or she is gay!! OK…..but the JW’s have an “anti” gay stance. Do you deny that? Do you think Wendy and Lisa would want to work with him? Actually, their minds are probably more open than his these days and they would have no problem. The JW’s have closed the doors in his mind to many things that he once had an open mind about. Has he found himself? Or has he allowed the JW’s (and LG) to mold him? Creatively…..are we going to hear going to ever hear the wonderfully SEXY songs he has created? Are we ever going to hear the hard driven songs? Are we ever going to hear him perform God, Another Lonely Christmas, 4 The Tears In U’r Eyes or 7 again? Or, has he creatively become a “spot-light” preacher for the JW’s? I am not against any religion in any way. I believe religion is wonderful if it helps people and is used for good. I just always thought of Prince as a spiritual person in his “own” religion (like me) and not a pawn of another. If JW helps him with has helped him find himself and has helped him face his demons that’s wonderful……much love to him. I just hope that the doors that JW has, or will, close don’t have an adverse affect. ThunderCer I don't deny that JWs do not practice homosexuality. However, we dont have an "anti-gay" stance. There are other religions that will protest at AIDS victims funerals. Thats not us!! We don't go around bombing abortion clinics either! There are many openly gay people in the entertainment industry. Why would Prince single out Wendy & Lisa? He would have to discriminate against wardrobe, makeup, directors, grips, actors, and other musicians,etc. I don't believe that story!! JW work with many people with different backgrounds and lifestyles... We just go to work and mind our own business!!! No…..you don’t just go to work and mind your own business…..you push your beliefs on other people. You go door to door and ask people to listen to you. I once had a JW woman approach me on a bus-stop at 5am!!! If you join the JW Church, are you allowed to have an open mind or are you supposed to think like everyone else there? Would a gay person be welcome in the JW church? No…..therefore JW’s do in fact have an “anti-gay” stance. No, JW’s are not “radical” in their ways but they are a closed minded group. Why Wendy and Lisa? Well, that’s whom I’d like him to work with again. Who knows that he’s not discriminating against gays now that he’s a JW? He’s been known to not want to work with non-vegetarian people in the past. Creatively (you’ve stayed away from this) is this hurting his music? Did you cringe when he sang songs like Darling Nikki or Head? He’ll never make songs like these again. Did you shake your head when he played God (so beautiful) on the piano? That’s gone too. Prince to me was always spiritual…..in his OWN way…..and that made him unique. He sang about God, sex, love, hate, lust, etc, with an open mind and anyone, of any religion, with an open mind (even you fams that are JW) could “feel” it. As a JW, preaching as a JW, singing JW beliefs…..do we ALL get to “feel” what he’s saying? So, has he found himself through JW’s? Understand, I do not intend to upset my JW brotha and sista Prince fams……I just like to debate. 
Peace, unity, love…..and havin’ fun! ThunderCer | |

I wonder why she didn't offer him something to drink? Always amazes me that people invite others in, and still do not offer some type of hospitality. Maybe she did and just forgot to report it. . . | |

As much as I love Prince and his music, I would not let him in my home. I have watched him closely and he falls into the aloof category of energy. One that doesn't like to share energy but enjoys taking energy from the person s/he encounters. Think of all the times you've been to a concert and you left physically drained. Too tired to walk to your car or hotel room, but would accept death at that moment. That's energy stealing and I am studying Princeboy so I can crack his power spell. Besides, I can't let anyone too close to the "import collection" I'm not suppose to own. To all that have escaped the matrix of organized religion (an association operated by humans and money is collected from its followers in return to keep the organization afloat... all to help mind controlled slaves get closer to "a chosen god"), we are the truly FREE ones. Cover your ears, hearts, and minds with protective cloaks so that evil wrapped in beautiful packages can not enter. --- Put the crack pipe down.  Now, that wasn't nice. . .[This message was edited Fri Oct 17 9:36:44 PDT 2003 by NuPwr319] | |

Well, whether this story is true or not--it's being reported everywhere. Saw it in today's Detroit Free Press.  | |
