If Prince and Larry Graham held spirtuality classes

..would you attend them if Larry and baby brother held classes about spirtuality, God, "the truth". I thought in numerous interviews they did together in the late ninties...they had alot to say and it got me thinking about stuff that never really crossed my mind before. You can tell their passion and excitement they have for what they truely believe in. You can tell their intrest in the bible is very sincere and comes from a good place. I was not listening to Prince during the Celebration where Prince held "discussions" at PP but it really does sound facinating and interesting. I don't have a real interest in JW religon, don't plan on becoming one but I honestly would not mind learning something new that I don't know about and I think anything that can lead you to become a better person and lead a more uncluttered peaceful life can only be a good thing.

So would you attend classes if Prince and Larry wanted to teach them?

Why does it have to be "Prince or Larry?" Couldn't you just talk to any JW if you wanted to understand what their "passion and excitement" was all about?

King David was famous for his songs and high spirituality... There's a big connection between art (interpretation of reality) and religion (quest of the Truth). I'm more afraid for artists who don't seek the truth. I'm curious about artists who FOUND the truth.

Yeah, I think he wrote a book of it. Wouldn't it be cool if the notation showed up somewhere?

There are many artists that claim to have found truth.
Which truth is the truth?, or is that subjective?

Seems to me that truth is an absolute thing. Guess that's a different thread, though.

King David was a sheppherd, he was pleasing God with his songs (psalms ?) and harp playing. He became a king and his son, Salomon, who was able to talk with animals, wrote the "chir a chirim", but I don't know how you call it in english (song of Salomon, hymns of the hymns ?). I'm lost in translation, sorry. Learning takes a life time, and I have plenty of links about Kind David's life, in french. It's quite easy to find on internet.

That's why I'd like to hear their truth, because if this is THE truth, it should be the same for all human, isn't it ?

It is said we have 72 ways to understand the Word. 72 is the number of the letters of the "real God's name", and the number of the women Salomon had (in the same time !), to fit his 72 levels of Spirituality.

But I guess it's a different thread, too.

High spirituality ... that would be watching a naked woman on the roof. Nothing wrong in that - watch, but don't touch, David.

But David doesn't just watch ... he then commits adultery (yes, he knows she's married) with her and gets her pregnant ..

... and then conspires to cover up his mistake by trying to persuade her husband to have sex with his wife so he thinks the child is his own.

Hubby resists, so David tries to get the husband drunk. No luck.

And then, his last two plots having failed, he resorts to sending the hapless husband on the front line of battle and instructs the rest of the army to abandon him to the enemy i.e. arrange his death.

Dave marries Bathsheba, and all's well.

His spirituality couldn't have been higher.

But he played a mean lyre, so we'll forgive him.

If I did go,
I'd wouldn't be a very good student at all.

Everytime Prince would finish saying something,
I would raise my hand & go "Whaat?!"

And every time that Larry would speak,
by the time he hit his second syllable,
I would yawn out "BORRRRINNG!!!"

I don't know that P is a better person or that he leads a peaceful, uncluttered life as a result of his conversion to JW. He's probably the best he can be...but his life and actions are not what I consider ideal: divorce, shutting down web site without regard to life-time fans,.... Not to mention, I attended mass 6 days/week for 8 years when it was still in Latin. M-F mass followed by religion class. I consider those two way underqualified. I thought while watching the Larry King interviews his spirituality had cult like aspects. This does not apply to the JW religion. It's just where he's taken it.

I'm sure you will understand that some people here will consider (rightly or wrongly) that attending mass 6 days a week for 8 years when it is condicted in latin - followed by a religion class - also gives someone's apparent spirituality the semblance of cultish behaviour.

It was his site to shut down. Do you give Prince consideration in what decisions YOU make in your everyday life? And plus, who's to say the way you live your life is ideal to others?

Relationships end, people move on. I sometimes wish we would afford the guy the same things we would want others to afford us.

Fair point.

I rarely give Prince consideration in my life when I make my daily decisions.

However, I do consider I have some responsibility to people who have paid money on the basis that I have said they will be offered certain things for a period of time.

Which is why it was a stupid thing to describe payment to the club as 'lifetime membership'.

I cannot recall having established a relationship with someone and told them at the outset that it will be for a 'lifetime', subject to payment of money.

It wouldn't surprise me if records are maintained to enable past subscribers to access any future offering, but the absence of a clear explanation of this is poor (albeit not untypical).
