Just because there are lots of women around Prince who are prettier than his wife, doesn't me that he wants to sleep withe them or would if given the chance.

My best friend's entire family are Jehovah Witnesses, and I can remember her telling me a couple of times about adultery situations (and fornication) in her mom's Hall, and the people were kicked out. It doesn't make sense, but that is what they do. At least in my town anyway. I don't know if it's different elsewhere.

As far as I'm aware, JWs do not "out" anybody who does not toe the line in accordance to their teachings or moral ethics.

Also, after giving it some thought, I've decided it's a little premature to start speculating about such a potentially calamitous scenario for both Prince and Mani, especially considering that such a scenario remains just that: pure speculation.

.

as we all know, prince is a very mercurial soul - as much as i'd love to see the guy in a lifelong relationship, i wouldn't be surprised at all if i heard news about a break-up. i'd be disappointed, but it would seem par for the course.

I just laughed my ass off when i saw the title of this tread, god knows why....

I know what you mean...
I love Prince's new stuff but it makes me sad when people have to purposely censor
themselves to be accepted. Art is best when people are just expressing what they feel
naturally without worrying about what others think. But Im glad he is happy and at peace

Anji...I am surprised at u starting a thread such as this...as u r more musically concerned about P. Anywho, I cant give an answer ppl will want 2 meditate on....but...IMO, mani was with p most of this tour. Right where he wants her---by his side, but not on stage. Where mayte should have been. Yes, it would surprise me 2 find him cheating on her as both r jw's. ( however, this is his & her personal bidness ) The TRUTH is a very strict/disciplined/God fearing/God pleasing religion that is very difficult at best, 2 adhere 2, which rather makes one proud if he can do so. We r imperfect, and all make mistakes, but it is really an honour 2 b baptised a jw, bcuz of its stringent rules. However, the bible, prayer, & meetings, & gatherings help us stay focused. Prince has been focused 4 quite some time... Revelations about ANYONE commiting adultery in the TRUTH, is cause 4 disfellowship. IF one is married however...Most psychotic musical chapter hes done? NO, IMO. I wouldnt consider ANY of his tours in that light. THIS tour was very hectic, draining, difficult 4 him, IMO, but psychotic? No. If he keeps this pace up, it very well may lead 2 that status however. Something I wouldnt want 2 see, no matter how many of u think he puts out the most awesome stuff on a psychotic high. Normal is good. I hope he is resting & enjoying his time off, as we know it wont last. Its always onward & upward with the PRINCE...Love u prince. relax.

I was thinking the same thing, you just beat me to it.

I think it is a very smart move on Mani's part... (or Prince part) to have her maintain some distance from the limelight. It keeps her part of his "normal" world, where he can go and get grounded. Ya know? And I think in hindsight, that was Mayte's mistake. I think if I was in Mani's shoes I would look at what all the ex's did and try to be different. Most of P's ex's were part of the business, (by his own request I am sure). Heck maybe this is his idea to keep it separate... I have to think that all those break ups had to take a toll on him even if he initiated or caused the break up. Maybe he genuinely wants to have a lasting relationship and is really really trying with this one.

grandebelle said:

I really can't understand how someone can claim to be a fan, claim to 'like' (some even say 'love') Prince and would want him to be unstable, depressed or heartbroken to get "better stuff". That is so wrong and self centered imo.

prodigalfan said:

In regards to Prince the person it is a pretty selfish thing to say. In terms of Prince the musician it may still be selfish, but it's understandable. Many fans, myself included, feel he's at his best artistically when he's unhappy.

Mani's a leech.

ANJI!!!!! Long time no c!!

CherrieMoonKisses said:

How can anybody say such a thing about someone they don't know?

I don't know Prince personally and if I did it would still be none of my buisness!

prodigalfan said:

I think it was Price's idea to bring Mani along with him on the tour and also to keep her out of the spotlight. With Mayte, it would seem he had no way of separating his professional life and his personal life. He has Mani in a different place, so to speak, where he knows he can go to her and be himself, which seems to be a very different person than he was in the past. He's definitely evolved, as most people do as they get older. I think he's going to try to stay setled in his personal life, especially with Mani. They have a spiritual connection with them both being JW's, so maybe that will work for Prince.

If he would be Cheating it WOULD or SHOULDA been with me. I'd massage him all over and give him Bubble baths with Cnadles. Real Geisha Like.

Is this a cryptogram or code or something? Because I've actually been trying to figure it out...

I'm better at crosswords or Jumbles, though.

What is wrong with you Vainandy?. It is important that Prince's music be they way you want it to be and if he has to be unhappy to make that kind of music so be it.

PS - Anji, friend, it's my belief that you need to shake Prince out of your head before your acute interest evolves into an unhealthy obsession. But I'd guess you know this already.

Since you are talking about his happiness, you've got it backwards. People that are unhappy being faithful cheat. They cheat to make themselves happy.....so he wouldn't be unhappy if he cheated.

As far as me wanting him to cheat to make the kind of music I WANT.....that wouldn't happen even if he did cheat and got away from the Jehovah's Witnesses. Even though I love all his music throughout the years....since you are talking about the music I WANT.....he hasn't made the music that I WANT since 1984. I adjusted to the style change in 1985 so this JW thing was just another thing to adjust to.....it's no big deal. I do admit though, I do prefer the "nasty" Prince.

While you are talking about him being unhappy, though. He seemed pretty damned happy when he was not a JW and cheating all over the world. He's probably unhappy NOW.
