So if Prince had a contest through his web site for npg premium members only:

write in 50 words or less,

why you would want to attend a church service with Prince.

winner flown in, all expenses paid, stay overnight at Paisley (underground guest quarters), next day attend service, private conversate and lunch with P, fly out that night.

this is not a music contest, no performance.

would you enter? what would you write? r u premium?

I'd enter. I've never been inside a JW Church before, so I'd be interested in what they do different, from the way I was raised.

Would I convert? NEVER.

I would enter for curiosities sake.

if i were a member, i'd pass on this one.

Nah, I don't like church much... but I would if I could go with him and talk about it later. Better yet, I'd LOVE to do some Bible studies with him. At one of the soundchecks, he asked us if anyone was interested. I said, "Yes!!" I'm still waiting for that study to come around.

"Why I would want 2 attend a church service with Prince."

I think I need 2 start going 2 church services 2 save my soul.

I think Prince could help me & help save me from going 2 hell.

It wouldn't hurt me 2 attend church services with Prince.

It would b fun 2 see & hear Prince pray, even if my soul is not saved.

good! hopefully when the time comes, you can teach him a thing or 2. like how to read it, instead of regurgitating others' skewed interpretations of it.

How about Prince comes to my church?

Exactly!

I'd corrupt the church and take Prince with me to the nearest strip joint.

2freaky

that would scare the shit out of Prince, unless you agreed to take Larry also

Seeing as how I live in Mpls, I could make the drive to Chanhassen to attend his church anyway. No thanks. I never went to my parents' church, I don't feel any need to go to his. I've been inside Paisly Park already. Have a chat with him? Could be interesting, but I have a feeling the further away I keep him personally, the easier it will be to remain a fan of his music.

So nope! Wouldn't enter the contest.

Sounds like an easy winner, 'Cherrymoon' is the only entry.

I think it would be ok just to sit and listen. Do not close your heart or mind. But, mom always said that if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing.

I could only hold it in for so long

It's not going to church that saves your soul, it's putting your faith in Christ. Going to church is a great idea, but just showing up isn't the magic key. It's a place to develop faith, share fellowship with other believers, and rejoice in the presence of God.

Forget about Prince praying - do it yourself, right now. Ask in simple words that you want Jesus to come into your heart and save your soul - and He will!

i think the day fans start showing up at prince's church trying to chat is the day he finally, truly, hates us all forever. just my 2c

read the fantasy contest question, its not a stalking senario

Dear Rudy,

My soul is already saved. But, thank U 4 caring about my soul.

I was just making my point that just because U like someones music that person can not save your soul. U must do that your self.

I still think it could b fun 2 go 2 church with Prince.

After church U would have time 2 talk with Prince.

Now that would b fun.

However, I don't know if I would like 2 have lunch with Prince.

He may make me eat all my vegetables or send me 2 his bedroom.

Wait. Now that would b fun.

Therefore, I won't eat all my vegetables and maybe Prince will send me 2 his bedroom.

Jthad: you would enter too, that is why you come up with this BS.

Hell no!!

I need to be saaaved!!

Lord, help me! I'm a freaky bisexual pagan Goddess-worshipper. I need Jeeesus!

(That's how I'd get in. It's all true. Then I'd rape P in the back of the church.)

Been there... done that... don't need to enter a contest.

i would not enter a contest that involves going to a church. I would attend a service with prince (or anyone) if invited to gain spiritual knowledge for it's own sake but not because i just want to hang out with some famous rock star. it would be disrespectful to the entire congregation to only go to see prince.

Well said.

isn't that part of his recruitment? arn't witness' supposed to go out and recruit new members?

would anyone really pay attention to what is being said in church with Prince standing next to them?

Tom said:

i wouldn't.

I would attend the "Kingdom Hall" with Prince. Seeing as how it is not a "Church" Prince would invite someone to "The Kingdom Hall". Since I am already a Witness it would of course be an easy thing for me, but I would love to hear him comment and sing the kingdom songs while being next to him.

Also we do NOT "recruit" people, each person has an individual choice whether they are interested in attending the meetings, studying or becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses or not, we are encouraged to preach just like Jesus advised his follwers to do. Finding interested ones is wonderful. We do get visitors at my hall from time to time and they get to see what it is all about, as well as experience the differences. The Kingdom Hall is open to anyone who wants to come, with or without Prince.

okay, I feel better now. I didn't mean to be all preachy in your face. I'm not skilled at sarcasm detection. It's my one weakness. But I'm glad to know my martyrdom wasn't in vain.

I don't think I'd like to go to church with Prince, or eat lunch with him, definitely not be sent to his room. I would be willing to play guitar with him, but not if he'd shut me down after 1 minute or something rude like that. I know that he'd do that. So forget it, Prince

Why would he want ppl to win a contest to go to church? church is 4 everyone! but yes, i'd go with him.
