I've never been banned.

but hey - have it your way. you're on that list of folks who won't regret seeing the world lose a great musician like prince for lack of a simple life-saving medical treatment.

You don't own Prince. None of us do. To me Prince has artistically been dead for years now, but I'm thankful for all the great music he released over the years which will last me a lifetime. Prince doesn't owe you shit.

I am one of the most liberal and open minded people that you will ever meet. However, I don't tell anyone how to live their life and I be damned if anyone is going to tell me how to live mine. I don't like judgemental people and I turn the tables and become judgemental against the judgemental ones. If it's wrong....well, who cares? Fight fire with fire. When Jehovah's Witnesses come to my door, I open the door and say "Nobody's home". If they didn't think that everyone else is "wrong" and they are the only ones that are "right", they wouldn't be coming to people's doors and preaching to them. If I want to be preached to, I will go to church. In other words, I will go to you if that's what I want, don't you bring your ass to me.

As far as Prince is concerned, that's a different story. I could care less if he worships a head of lettuce. When I buy a Prince album, I know he's a Jehovah's Witness and I know he might possibly preach on the album. He has every right to because it is his album and his freedom of speech. I'm the one that chose to buy it and he didn't force me to buy it. When I buy an album, I buy it for the funk. Prince can preach all he wants to but it will be going in one of my ears and out the other because the music is what I'm listening to and I can easily tune all that other bullshit out.

Do I wish that he wasn't a Jehovah's Witness? Of course I do because I can't think of a more judgemental group of stuffshirts that I have ever seen. However, it's his life, not mine.

I couldn't fucking agree more !

U can definately listen 2 his music without taken that religous bullshit in .

AlphabetST1977 said:

Even when he's singing about "religious bullshit"?

RepoMan said:

U give me some songs as examples?

Last I checked Prince hasn't said anything on record about anything related to this.

Still some have managed to take a blurb in a tabloid as a means to dissect what they speculate to be Prince's innermost thoughts and feelings. That is scary.

"With the accurate understanding of God and His law
they went about the work of building a new nation:
the Rainbow Children.

"The Wise One who understood the law
that was handed down from God long ago
reflected the true meaning 2 his woman every day.
And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care and keeping
4 she trusted he would lead in the right way.
Her children in subjection 2 her, and she in subjection 2 the Wise One.
The Wise One in subjection 2 the only Begotten One.

"And 4ever is in subjection 2 God."

That entire album is full of things like that. There's a ton of stuff like that to be found on other albums. Stuff like "God is love, love is God" from Anna Stesia. Or how about the song God?

In the beginning, there was God
He made the earth and the heavens
He gave us light 2 rule the day
And another light 2 rule the night
The Lord, thy God
He made, He made the seas
He made the fruit upon the tree

Do you even really listen to his songs?

RepoMan said:

..... Shit , Rainbow Children talks about religion ?????

I would never have fuckin guessed


thats probably y it's one of my least favourite Prince albums , it's to in ur face .

Also, GOD is not a b-side i have ever really liked ..... wonder y???

I like Erotic City , Girl , Shockadelica , Violet the Organ Grinder , 17 Days , Lalalahehehe , Scarlett Pussy & Irresistable bitch ..... Do u think they r religous ?????

When i asked 4 examples , i was thinking at least 50 religous tunes that i shouldnt like!

Universaluv said:

very true. i've already dismissed this "story", but the reactions of some people are just downright frightening.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

for real! i wonder how many people will move to minneapolis to be supportive of his surgical endeavors, if and when they occur?

XxAxX said:

Oh, you mean like this? http://vg.midspark.net/vi...milar.html

RepoMan said:

Please tell me that page is a prank!

If it is for real, then it is what I had in mind... X 10.I think a lot of fans, especially straight males, identify to some degree, but hopefully not as much as this guy.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Hey, didn't you move to Minneapolis?

RepoMan said:

yeah...sure as fuck wasn't for prince's stankin ass, though.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Oh boy, you must have been disappointed when you figured out Vince wasn't living in Minneapolis.

RepoMan said:

who's vince?

Aerogram said:

It's not a joke. He's the guy from the Missy Elliot video.



Here's another one, just for fun.

Prince doesn't hate his fans as much as he probably should.
