Prince worshiped the devil at one point..nobody gave a fuck cause the music was good?...This is so backwards....

No, there are 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

I hope so, I can't stand Prince anymore since his it's useless to vote shit.

nresistnee said:

orgnote me on this piece of info please

jn2 said:

but you're still here.....
here to hate on him or wat?

jn2 said:

Why? Voting is a choice. You have the right to vote, or not to vote.

JayJai said:

And been here a numbers of years since that revelation too, it's not a new thing. He wouldn't have voted since becoming involved with the JW's, so that must be coming up ten years now. It was also referenced in son on Musicology on Dear Mr.Man on Musicology.

OK but don't pretend to admire MLK or to live in a sort of "fascist regime". Voting is useless" but his silly crusade against record compagny or his fans isn't..

I agree with most opinions already posted here.

If you don't like or feel his music anymore, you shouldn't giving him your money.
He doesn't have to quit God or the JW for anyone.
I'm myself an agnostic and it doesn't bother me when he finds some inspiration in God or in his religion. Everybody needs some kind of faith to hold on to.

What annoys me is when he starts preaching, when he sounds like "I'm warning you because I know the Truth".

I guess that's what a fanatic does and I hate that attitude in any kind of person about any kind of topic... It's not a humble one. It happens to everyone.

I always download his music without paying first. If I like it, I buy it rightaway, if not, I wait until I've bought everything else... If.

I don't think he's stupid, it's just when you become a fan you get a little blind, you miss the big picture.

Hope the next album is great, because if so, I'll get good music and he'll get my money for his work.

Peace.

that's actually cute. 1s and 0s for binary referring to the 10 kinds of people. but um...what that got to do with Prince leaving the JW? perhaps he's Just Waiting for something better.

TheEnglishGent said:

..No,there are 10 commandments...and i think that if those are followed in ur life..u can do anything else...there is nothing higher than understanding THIS binary...JW/other honor those 10...
..mzsexybaby

A lot of atheists live their lives without breaking any commandments. You don't need a god to be a good person.

It's got about as much to do with anything as any of mzqueen's posts.

I'm responding to the Thread Title: 'will Prince ever leave J.W?'



Maybe in 2012.....

Prince used to believe in a god that sent people to hell..remember the end of
"Temptation"? JWs don't believe in hell fire!




.

I have no problem at all with religious music, I enjoy religious music of all types...where I get turned off is when one goes from expressing the joy and wisdom their spiritual path has brought them to essentially drawing a line in the sand and implying that those who don't believe the same are lost to some inferno...and I don't see Prince leaving J.W. at any point. He's older now, and more set in his ways. It's not like in his 20s when he was experimenting and trying on all these different hats. He knows who he is now, and we can take it or leave it.
So I listen more for the quality of the music then its message nowadays, and skip the overly preachy tracks I don't dig, like 'Get On the Boat', lol

goddess09 said:

I don't care for that song either. I only listened to 3121 maybe 3 times.
I haven't liked anything Prince put out since TRC. His new tracks seem promising though

dont mean to offend anyone planet earth and i am not an intellectual...far from it....i just dont believe in it...whatever gives people comfort in this life is fine by me...i can understand prince searching for a higher meaning to everything and i hope he is happy with what he believes in.....his music has bought me great joy in this life...

'wrong' according to whom:)?

Riverpoet31 said:

Battling perceived intolerance with more intolerance. That makes sense.

Alot of the same muhfuckas that would have defended his ass 25 years ago to say anything controversial that he wanted to are now freaking out because they aren't comfortable with his religious beliefs.

Don't like the message? Don't listen to it. Call him out for being an ass. Express your disagreement.

But asking him to censor his music so as not to offend?

Fuck that shit.

AQUABOOGIE said:

JWs believe in the hell of the grave. He aint gonna leave as long as they let him do what he do!

DesireeNevermind said:

That would be cool with me, but I think by now he has gone far enough to change for them, which I don't support at all. I can stop saying the word "fuck" without joining a cult.

No i do not think he will, and i hope he stays a JW

I'm glad one of us can do it.
