It means being fearful and intolerant of that which is different,right? Well our little funkmeister now follows the teachings of the jehova's witness's, who are not tolerant of homosexuality in any way shape or form.

not that i'm gay, but i do smoke and drink and listen to 'pop' music, also somethings they frown upon.

i'm sure to go to hell for my unholy ways.

Your name says it all. By the way there is a Loon cafe in Minneapolis. Go have another drink. Prince isn't a Hypocrite you Fool.

As far as I know, Prince has nothing against homosexuals.

sure he is, in this instance.He can't be right all the time.

if he's a JW he does.that is a fact.

When did Prince state he was againist homosexuality? And what makes you think he agrees with all of the teachings of the JW's?

Christians do not hate the sinners just the sin. There is a difference.

I'm gay and I would be SERIOUSLY upset if I thought Prince felt that way. Don't forget, as he once said: 'Whatever floats your boat...'.
Even if he thinks it (which I doubt) even HE wouldn't be idiotic to make a public statement about it. That WOULD be career suicide. Look at how many gay men visit this site!

Really and why should you care ? Listen just be yourself and be happy. Every religion is going to say Homosexuality is wrong so what ! Does that mean go live out in the desert somewhere no! Listen just be yourself I seriously don't think Prince is against Homosexuals. I don't think he's against anybody. Why in the world should your life be Paramount to Prince? I don't think he's going to give a Rat's Ass about this. Your a fan that's cool. Stop bashing any religion. Forget them and just go on.

I think you miss the point, Natasha. I've NEVER said 'Prince is my life'. And I'd NEVER knock anyone's religion (each to his own, etc. Believe me, it's a bit rich for me to start throwing stones).

But he IS a big part of my life - just as much as my friends, family, other musicians are. I have great respect for him. It would be that which upset me; the fact that someone so intelligent could have such a closed-minded viewpoint.
Anyhow, I don't think he has that stance.

I don't think he does either.

I can't take this thread seriously, anyway (sorry Cherryloon). If you took all songs (by Prince or otherwise) at face value there'd be much to dislike. There'd be no need for critical discussion, whatsoever. Tsk tsk.

Listen 2 me...Im from a J. Witnesses family and i always hated this secte. They abused me always and provocated 2 me a bad depression. Now im out and happy...

Im a really bad sinner: Satanist, i like 2 fuck when i wanna (Satan is indulgence instead abstinence). im bisex, i smoke and i drink sometime...I dont believe in God or in Christ but i hate who make bad in their name...I will b destroyed soon

I said 2 'em that live 4 the eternity with us is a punishment, not an award...I dont stand 'em neither 4 five minutes...

Oh, I neglected to mention to the gay fan. Prince is definitely Gay friendly why you ask? Well, he always was involved in all the White Parties in Miami Beach and was always concerned about Aids since Rock Hudson Died from the Dreadful disease.

it's about the music. Anything beyond that is Prince's personal business and his alone.

1nce again Deepabove (applause)...I like U

I think it'd be pretty rich of Prince to say anything bad about gays.I'm gay too(jeez, we're ALL coming out on here now!!)and have NEVER heard him say anything bad bout it-altho, he is tending nowadays to talk bout stuff he don't think is right(Tattoos,b'days,bad language etc), so maybe he will-I'll reserve judgement till I hear him spout shit about it, or not.
Anyway-his entire image has been about slapping on the panstick make-up, the mascara,and getting the typhoon just right-I dont know a woman who takes as much pride in her appearance as DA MAN.
As I say-till he goes off on one about poofs-I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he isn't THAT small-minded.

Just remember this and you'll feel o.k. He digs Ani DiFranco. That woman is Bi-sexual has piercings and tatoos. He thinks she's cool and all. O.k. maybe he's not attracted to a woman with Tatoos and bad language and piercings,but you know what I say? Prince this is 2002 and don't knock it till you've tried it! This is the Now! Get with it Prince you'll dig it soon enough. Remember this is the in thing! It's what's happening now. You should partake before you are 70! How about woman with Nipple piercing and clit piercing? Please ,Prince you would laugh and die at seeing pictures of the women posing with legs open to show you their piercings. It's hilarious.

Oh, Jeezzzus.

who cares about his religion,god people talk about crap.
i have nothing against religion thats not what im sayin,just u ppl ...oh brother,my friend is JW & he lives music,drinks & has fun,its notlike u cant do anything when ur JW.
seriously b4 ppl go off on this JW thing they should check they facts or not say nething at all.

9 times out of 10, Prince *is* a hypocrite, no matter what the topic.

Prince Aaron isn't a Hypocrite at all. Why he's stifling his Ultimate Creativity and Sexuality I don't know cause we all know he's a Sexy Mutherfucker. There isn't a Sexier Man alive and he just Controls himself too much sometimes. I love him for his Smarts and his Grip on things,however he's much Wilder than he allows himself to be. Gemini's are wonderful in Bed ... Prince is one Hottie. You can best believe it...!!! The music he creates is so Damn Great...He's a Young stud at 44.!!! He can kick anybody's Ass in the battle of the Bands...

CHAOS&DISORDER

hey aaron most of us r...

AaronForever said:

Yes he is. He is famous 4 chanching is mind all the time. But i dont mind, thats ok. I stopped taking him serious 4 a long time. I love his music.

I think Prince probably thinks it is wrong, becasue he is JW, but I doubt he hates anyone, so he disapproves of it, he dissaproves of alot of things, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree wit da man...

whatever! he wont be a jehovas witness forever u know. he´ll return to the wild days and will funk the hell outta us!
