Prince Swears off Cursing
NEW YORK (AP) -- A G-rated Prince?

It may be hard to believe, but the singer who once provoked shock waves with his X-rated lyrics has sworn off cursing and is preaching about the importance of virtue in the May edition of Gotham magazine.

Prince, who is now a Jehovah' s Witness, said that " when you use those (curse) words, you call up all the anger, all the negatives times the word has been used before -- you bring it toward yourself. Why would you want that?"

Prince also told the magazine that teens need more God in their lives.

" When I look at the violence, I wonder where the parents are, but also where is God in their lives? A kid is an open computer ready for programming. Some weird relationships happen, smoking too early and sex."

Jehovah' s Witnesses are an apocalyptic group that interprets the Bible differently than traditional Christian organizations.
