Anna Stesia - Did He "Understand" ?

1988 Lovesexy - a magical uneven fascinating journey in which Prince says...

(2:45)
Save me Jesus I've been a fool
How could I forget that U R the rule
U R My God I am Ur Child
From now on 4 U I shall be...wild!

I shall B quick
I shall B strong
I tell U'r story
No matter how long no matter how...no matter how...how

How is the "play" going 18 years later???

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

I don't understand your question. But I think these are very profound lyrics for Prince, and I think he has lived by these word (or tried his best to) since he started making records.

No where did he say he would be accepting nor unblinded.

Binded, he is.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

I thought Prince was at his most open and interesting at this point in his career. His conversion to JWs has had an impact on that openess. If he's happy, however, and found his spiritual home, then cool, good for him.

Personally, I'm still trekking down the Lovesexy path. I hope to find an answer someday soon.

Well, in 94 he said "he got saved".

In 01, he said " this time the covenent will be kept".

Doesnt seem to be any drift from that last "testament".

He’s also quoted as saying "There’s Joy in repetition"

Grr... Don't even get me started. You know I was REALLY enjoying watching his spirituality transform (ever so slowly) and I THOUGHT I knew exactly where he was headed. But NO. He minimizes our savior to Micheal the archeangle... According to previous lyrics he wasn't going to have believed that. mad And no this isn't heresay, I studied and was visited by his fellow witnesses for a YEAR and I KNOW what they believe first hand. I'm in shock still. The only reason I came back to the org was because he divorced Mani and that is of course not allowed, and I was read that Mani was the reason he converted (and Larry duh) So I figured if she left him, he might eventually realize he was apostate....

The reason why I care so much is because in heaven we all get jobs assigned to us (according to revelation anyhow) based on what would best glorify God, and well he obviously would be musician, and I just think he should be there. But he doesn't even believe in heaven anymore (not one that WE can get to anyways). There isn't any grace either. Its all about deeds. That kind of legalism condemns EVERYBODY. grrr grrr. I have to stop this could turn into a 20 page theological essay....

Fortunately since he is still alive he isn't quitting his journey....

Are you saying its a question of what people actually DO rather than what they say they believe ?

That doesnt sound too bad.

Agreed... I think he understood at one time, since then, however, he has been lead to believe that this understanding was misplaced in 4th century conspiracy theories. My signature says it best... John chapter 1.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. – 2Timothy 4:3-4

Not only that, but when someone reaches out a hand for you to hold, and they got their life together and you don't, I mean, its easy to investigate: "Why do they have everything straight?" And just follow them...

Hi.
Even though Prince says he is a JehovahWitness. I don't really believe that Prince is a true Orthodox Jehovah Witness(ie.. divorcing Mani,still singing sexual songs -minus the cursinglololo,and etc..r examples of non jw beliefs). Those are just some of the things that Prince has done that is contrary to true Orthodox Jehovah Witness doctrine. I too know what Jehovah Witnesses doctrine says, but they are others-JW's-who still believe that jesus Christ is lord even though there religion states differently. So in other words you can't really box people and there religion,and u can't really box Prince and his beliefs.

These 3 lines are a response to when Prince apparently took Xstacy and made The Black Album.
the music knows what your motives are when you are making it

listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul

It's MichaEL the Archangel. You bastard. lol

What the hell are you talking about?

Minimizes? Who's Savior? Who is your savior that he could be minimized? Sounds like an illusion to me.
