Oh I thought the lion was gouging his eyes out while listening to the lion of judah! oh its just me then.

I always thought that יהוה looked like 777 and that's why Prince did all the perfume stuff on that date 7-7-7 last year. His houses name is "77" and in the beginning of Reflections he says "Two sevens together, like time indefinite". "time indefinite is all through the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

anyone????

Wow you really don't like that song! Well this lion does and she is going to bed....21 hours with no sleep....I think it's time for a 30 minute cat nap. lol

NO....it does not bother me one bit that he loves to talk about God....a man/woman has to find balance in life and the bottom line is that God and only He can help us with that challenge...i also preach His name and love him aswell...."ALL THIS WAS DONE TO FULFILL WHAT WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET"...Matt. 1.22-23;2.5-6;15,17-18,23;4.14-16;8.17;12.17-21;13.34-35;21.4-5;27.9-10 mzsexybaby

Prince's love for God has gone hand in hand with his music. Prince sings about different things throughout the songs, yet simultaneously, I know that God's love and grace is within him.

sleep tight digmenow!

just dream of princes lion in his pocket thats ready to roar!

I don't believe his music would touch me in the same way if he took out all the religious references from his songs. I look at it as his way of expressing spirituality - whether he calls it Christianity, Jehovas Witness or whatever doesn't bother me at all.

LizaWoman08 said:

I mean seriously WHEN has he ever "practiced what he preached"

Yes it bother me that he preaches..., I prefer to hear and enjoy his music. But I understand it is a personal election

nope,does it bother U???

It's the same deity, just a different languages' word for it.

Didnt he always believe the word of god?

he does? thats great news

love to know his thoughts on sex-addiction, drug-addiction, adultery, vanity, and the love of money.

no.

Yes, it bothers me. Instead of believing in outdated Bronze Age fairy tales, Prince could be opening our eyes, through music, to the beauty of the universe as revealed through evidence and experience. Faith is not based on evidence, otherwise you wouldn't call it faith, you'd simply call it evidence.

Knowing that Prince handicaps himself with ridiculous beliefs that have slaughtered and shackled millions for thousands of years is sad. Instead of being on the cutting edge of thought, he's stuck in the dark ages. He could be liberating us from servitude to the old corrupted male-centric power structures instead of contributing to their continuation.

Lucky his music rocks, I guess.

Oh, man pls don't let this become one of those nasy threads where everyone stats fight and throwing insults at each other. Doen't it bother me partly. He doesn't have the right to tell others whtat to beleive, repect everyone not everyone beleives the same. I mean unless a religious check is done when they check for camra and cells.If he stopped controdicting himself, then no. If je loves everyone than respect all religions.

I'm glad u shared Liza. I had forgotten all about that -woulda been useful elsewhere. Gosh, now I'm thinking of that Yaweh Ben Yaweh dude.

well back to the topic, it doesn't bother me that Prince preaches and believes what he understands to be the word of God but it would irk me a tad if his music was in contradiction to what he preached and believed. I think its a case of good twin bad twin. LOL

gubbins4ever said:

Jeez, gubb, how do you really feel? Lol, JK, but stay outta the Wonder why he became a JW thread. I'm just sayin'...

Who am I to get mad and tell him not to believe in something that helps him get up in the morning and make it through the day?! If that's what he believes in and stands by that, then do what you know Prince and more power to you...seriously!

No, not at all. I think his desire to share his beliefs shows his capacity to love mankind.

NO.

Haha! Well, anti-theism became a passion of mine after reading Richard Dawkins's "The God Delusion", a fantastic read. I heartily recommend it!

It really does bother me that so many public figures, such as Prince, believe in something that so preys on gullability and superstition. The universe as shown through our instruments and telescopes is so awesome and beautiful, it makes a mockery of the tiny universe of Jehovah, Thor, and their fictional friends. Liberating your mind from these primitive beliefs is so uplifting. Free your mind.

Luckily, such beliefs are waning. But we must be careful to keep up the good fight of educating the public about the frontiers of knowledge, experience, exploration, and science. People should know the heights of happiness, morality, wonder and reverence - far higher than religion - that these things allow one to reach.

But I must add my 2 cents to what someone above said: At least Prince isn't a Scientologist!
