I think Prince wonders if he would look good in a turban...


thats about it...

Big deal, I see him wearing Arabic clothes, put some Arabic rythem and even writing Arabic lyrix in his music but that doesn't count at all.

Harlepolis said:

BTW call be bluff but what is a [turban] I would've known the word if you speak Arabic but I don't know that one. LOL I should've asked 1st,,sorry :opps:

Well, as of lately, who knows. But, if the church he goes to is anything like alot of churches around here, they are probably preaching about the "evil terrorism of Islam". I, for one, believe that God is God. There is only one Creator, and we are all from the Creator. Some view the Creator as just a source of neverending energy, some view the Creator as God or Allah, or Yahweh, some say Christ, Holy Spirit, and God, all 3 in one. However people view it, it should be a personal relationship not to be judged by others as right or wrong, even if they choose to believe in no God. If Prince is who I think that he is, and Larry Graham is who I think that he is, they don't judge people about how or who people worship, as long as they are peaceful and love one another.


Peace,

I DO think that Prince is an open-minded brotha who look at the bright side and whats behind the scene rather than looking at some media who tells one side of the story and hid the other. I'm just intristed on his thoughts on us thats all. George Michael is taking that route lately.

BTW I thought that Prince is a Jehova Witness not Christian !

Well, it depends on the church. Some don't classify themselves as "Christians", but they still believe in Jesus Christ as the savior of the world. There are major differences though. Anything is better than the Jerry Falwells and Benny Hinns of the world...lol

I thought that JWs are Jewish. Them Jewish don't adress 'Jesus' as 'God'.

Universaluv said:

Sorry if I'm wrong. I don't know much about these things, you've 2 4give me now!

Correct me.

I don't know about them being Jewish, but you are right about the not addressing Jesus as God part with JW's, I think...


Peace,

JD

JDODSON said:

And as far as I know they don't go 2 churchs, I think. I don't know what they call their places,,,'Temples' I guess.

Thats what I'm trying 2 say in the 1st place!!

Short answer:JW's aren't Jewish.

SkletonKee said:

prince doesn't live in the arab world ,dear.
and nor is he from Punjab.

if he became a muslim like me, he'd wear a cap with embrodiery.

Harlepolis said:

I don't know how Prince feels about "Islam" but I do know that he has alot of respect for Mother Tynetta Muhamad (Wife of the late Elijah Muhamad) from the Nation of Islam. In 2000 he had her at PP for a full tour, and He also dropped $50,000 on Minister Farrakhan to help pay for the Million Family March...


The Final Call (The official Newspaper of the Nation) did a 3 part series on Prince and his music. You can probably find it in the archives of the final call..Look under Mother Tynetta's articles which are usually under the heading "Unveiling the #19" and type in Prince. The articles were published in the summer of 2000...I hope that helps...

Harlepolis said:

JW's are not Jews. They're Jehovah's Witnesses. And I believe Jews do indeed address God as God, because they believe his name is sacred, and thus shouldn't be said/written.

Wait...You said Jesus. Jews don't believe in Jesus the way Christians do. They believe Jesus was a man, and they're still waiting on their Messiah, if memory serves me correctly.

As for what Prince things of Muslims and so on He prolly thinks they should all believe what he believes, and be devout little Jehovah's Witnesses.

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Well, as muslims we too don't adress Jesus as GOD. Jesus is a prophet or a 'massenger'. Anyway, I thought that JWs are a divided group from The Jews, just like Christians and their groups. We too have our divided groups but they're nothing like the Christians or The Jews.

About JWs, Who's their God? Jehova ?? Man, I get mixed up everytime I discuss these things. Ok and about The Jews, who's there god?? Abraham??

eos23 said:

He's supportive??? WOW that is sumthin. I always knew that Prince was totaly in love wit the Arabic culture but I didn't know that he support muslims. I knew I loved the brotha 4 a reason

Thank U so much 4 the info!

Harlepolis said:

Judaism is subdivided, but JW's are not a part of that subdivision.

Check out the following to compare the two religions:

http://wwwdev.lemoyne.edu...udaism.htm

http://wwwdev.lemoyne.edu...itness.htm

Prince also recorded a song called 'Muhammad Ali', which was an 'Emancipation' outtake.

He has also contracted the Fruit of Islam for security on several occasions.

2 Jagjams: What occasions??? BTW I'm hopelessly in LUV wit yo ICON. Change it and I'll hunt U down!

That's a good question. Knowing the nature of religion and its historic tradition of general intolerance, I'd guess that he undoubtedly thinks they are WRONG, but probably don't deserve to die for it.

Just a guess, obviously.

Another way to ask that would be "what does Islam think of HIM?"
