Prince, at Chicago's Vision Nightclub after his packed concert at Allstate Arena, before rescheduling his four remaining Windy City shows due to a death in the family of one of his band members. The Purple One and his party of eight danced in Vision's lower-level Lair, played pool, and mingled with the crowd until the club closed at 4 a.m. Though Prince doesn't drink (he's a Jehovah's Witness), our spies tell us he tipped the bartenders anyway.

What's up with that? They think the reason he doesn't drink is because he's a Witness? Witnesses drink plenty! Scratch that, reverse it.
I'm gonna have to hip P to some Bud Light.

Wasn't he enacting a "boozing" episode in a video?..help me here? Emancipation-era?

they are not supposed to be drinking. it is against their beliefs

If that's the case, then why was Larry Graham drinking a Corona beer at a hotel bar when I ran into him about six years ago? Although I know very little about the Jehovah's Witnesses, I've read that their religion allows the use of alcohol, albeit in moderation.

The Bible discourages getting drunk. Abusing alcohol.
Jeses turned water into wine at a wedding feast in the bible.
Drinking is a personal choice.

Your exactly right! Some people may not like the religion but atleast get your facts strait dayumit! No where in the Bible, in JW, or any other christain religion is drinking prohibited.

Wine is used at catholic masses and at the Jehovahs Witnesses memorial of Jesus death.

If i remember correctly, P is a fan of Merlot...maybe yhe wasn't drinking because of his throat problems...

Believe me, JW's definitely drink...My ex mother-in-law drank her ass off and she was a JW

Smooches;)

im not saying that they dont choose to drink....

let me rephrase this.

in my limited experience with jw, of which my exboyfreind was for 5 years. he, nor any member of his kindom hall, were allowed to drink alcoholic bevereages or do drugs of any kind. in his particular group it was viewed that alcohol and drugs were on in the same....and they were not allowed to do it. i do not practice the religion.... so i do not have the biblical verses to back this up. i was only posting what my experience has showed me.

People dont always follow religion they way they should or are supposed to. thats a known fact. and people have a funnny way of using things to jusitfy what they do in their own lives.

now....im done.

didnt make the shit bold that i wanted bold edit.
