i heard of a hospital in new jersey that does bloodless surgery---maybe this is something he could look into

I'm just wondering where all the people who essentially said HQ was lying when they ran a similar story are now?

And when it's discovered that this is not just a rumor -- that he really does need hip surgery (which I believe is the truth), will they apologize?...

...What is wrong is jeopardizing one's health because of made-up religious crap. I hope Prince will realize this and get the medical help he needs regardless of what the Watchtower says.

It'll probably upset the JW community, but most reports are that officially they have excommunicated him anyway, so who cares.

They call it "ingesting" blood, which can be in a transfusion or by eating. It's absorbed into the blood stream, in some fashion. And to them, that is wrong.

I'm not totally sure all JW's are vegans either, by that argument of not eating blood. Leviticus is a tricky book because God laid down so many laws, NOT because he wanted to limit people, but because the people acted stupid and complained about not even knowing how to wipe their butts. So God said "Fine....here are your rules, since you can't think for yourself, as I created you to do, but refuse to."

But Jesus fulfilled the law. He followed every law there was to the letter, thereby freeing the rest of us from it. No, we can't go murder someone without consequence, but that old law is OLD for a reason. JW's refuse to understand that, or even the deity of Jesus as the Son of God. Therein, lies the problem with it all. And that, my friends, is another show.

In truth, there are more and more hospitals doing bloodless surgeries, for this very reason. It's not a new idea. There are JW's all over, and hospitals have taken the steps to ensure respect for religious rights. It's just Prince trying to save face. I also think he's just untrusting of people, especially in a place like a hospital. Cell phones, etc are his enemy, and in a place like that? Pffft, forget it.

I'M GOING TO PREDICT SOMETHING HERE

Someone, I don't know who, but someone will get to Prince. Someone like Jamie Foxx, or Denzel....someone really RANDOM to all things Prince. A very unsuspecting individual. They'll talk to him. He'll brush it off at first, but they will talk to him and tell him about the safety and procedures of a bloodless surgery. Someone will convince him to get the surgery. He'll get it and we'll hear about it sometime just after the fact. We might never see a pic of him in the hospital or even on a gurney, but we might see a wheelchair pic somewhere along the way. (We've already seen him on a Hooveround.) He'll kind of stay in hiding for a while, might even release a song or something, but probably not. We'll see band members elsewhere doing stuff since they aren't doing work w/ Prince. Prince will eventually come out of hiding, with this new friend of his (not his hip), and make a few media appearances touting the positive aspects of the bloodless surgery. It'll probably upset the JW community, but most reports are that officially they have excommunicated him anyway, so who cares.

In short, at some point the pain and addiction will rule his life in a way he never thought possible. Something has to give, and since his hip is already giving way, it's time for HIM to bend a bit.

Flame on, peeps.

I know of quite a few very high profile folks who have had major medical procedures done with no publicity at all. With enough financial resources and the right medical institution it's quite possible to get treatment very quietly. That would mean no leaks in the person's personal camp of course, which seems to exist in Prince's if reports are to be believed.

Whatever the case may be, I do hope that he's taking care of himself.

Could you narrow that down a bit? There's a lot of threads about.

I've checked all my other Prince sites and nobody's talking about this shit but the org. Leave the rumors alone!

You're welcome. Speaking of Morris and his surgery, I wonder how he's doing now? It's been a few months. Hope he's feeling a lot better.

I've had that sig quote for awhile now and you're the first and only person to have mentioned (gotten?) it! Yay! And thank you. We SpongeBob fans have to stick together...

Agreed. Hard to respect someone's intelligence when they believe that an invisible man in the sky has a list of rules for them to follow.

I like how the article claims he needs a cane to stand upright, when he's been sportin' that cane since at least Diamonds and Pearls.

I'm surprised they didn't report he was going blind and that's why he wears dark sunglasses.
