Also I wonder if the Theosophy was never changed would present day witnesses still think it was of the occult, if the preception of a mason was never downloaded as "being" occult based on judgment of a projection of what a mason is, ha ha I just had an epiphany, lol ty for this But Prince is also smart enough to know that Russell's theosophy is based in the occult.Which means that Prince would be then conscious of rejecting Jesus I get it obe 1.. such a Jedi he is

..if u can F-I-N-D consciousness of ur spiritual UNITY with the Infinite and with ur FELLOW MAN...and if u can become established in the conviction of the Divinity of Man..u will become an intuitively GUIDED and EFFECTIVE INSTRUMENT 4 SOCIAL and political action within the framework of ur INTERESTS,ABILITIES and RESPONSIBILITIES...
.
..the Gospel will become a message 4 the ages...a universal MESSAGE OF TRUTH..4 all people everywhere...
.
..man has been going up and down the earth,climbing,digging,diving,exploring,searching 4 something that is already IN HIMSELF..
.
..2,000yrs ago..a man named Jesus found it and shared its secret...but in the movement that sprang up in His name...the Divinity in man has been the best kept secret of the ages....
.
....
..THE DIVINE..it is claimed 2 best prince's best solo performance!!!!...which means he REALLY MEANT THAT SONG!!!!..i can just hear the emotion of that song!!...it seeps through just in it's name THE DIVINE
.
..why won't prince release it??..i would say because of it's content...it could be anything and that alone is BEAUTIFUL....the blind-leading-the-blind..will NEVER WORK...
.
..i don't blame prince 4 not release'in it..it could BE 4 every1's ears...but people in general burn-their-bridges or they SABOTAGE their own..when everything is ok...some people will never accept the Good News...
.

..be an inspiration 2 all u meet..
...because i have lived and died..
..can u L-O-V-E me this much 2 LIVE fully until we walk 2gether again?..
.

...A sense sublime far more deeply interfused...whose dwelling is the LIGHT of setting suns..
..and the round ocean and the living Air...
...and the blue sky..and in the mind of man..
..a motion and spirit..that impels all thinking things..all objects of all thought..
...and rolls through all things..
.
...from outward things..whate'er u may believe..
..there is an intermost center in us all..
...where TRUTH abides in fulness..and around...
..wall upon wall..the gross flesh hems it in..
...this perfect,clear perception...WHICH IS TRUTH..a baffling and perverting carnal mesh..
..binds it..
...and makes all error..and 2 know..rather consists in opening out a way..
..whence the imprisoned splendor may escape..than in effecting entry 4 a LIGHT..supposed 2 be without...
...MZSEXYBABY'this will be my 4,731st post!!..no i am no newbie and yes i have my share of posts...in honor of Prince's 51st year alive on this earth..he is my cornerstone of my purpose HERE...how beautiful do the words have 2 be b-4 they conquer every heart?..how will u know if i may then in the right key..if u make me stop b-4 i start?...if i came back as a..'

Thanks for the info. We should probably be careful about talking about the JW's without talking about Prince; otherwise we will be chasing this thread in P & R Do most people really look into the history of their religion?? I think Prince was very gung-ho and after a while lost his passion for being "born again". You can very much see it in his lyrics in his past release and even in the ones before that. I mean you would think there would be a song as passionate about Christ as THE TEARS IN YOUR EYES or THE LADDER on his latest release given that he has been a Witness for about 10 years.




I also thought of something over the past 4 days. When Prince was speaking with Tavis Smiley, he did not say he was a Jehovah's Witness. Instead he said that he was a "witness for Jehovah". Sounds the same but is it? I mean elixir and Elixer seem the same but they obviously have different meanings. Prince is very good at playing with words. Any body can witness, it simply means that you spread the words of Christ. A Jehovah's Witness is however a member of a very specific group. I am not so sure that he is anymore. If he was disfellowshipped it would certainly not be announced publicly by the Witnesses themselves. The only people who would know for sure are the people who were in either his L.A. or Minneapolis congregation.

I have family members who were recently suspended (for 4 weeks) from their church for being two months behind in their tithing. Mind you they gave extra money in tithing six months ago. I agree with you. People can keep their RE-LIGION. I prefer to Love others and tell the truth. I think religion is the easy way out for those who can't seem to treat others how they want to be treated.

What kind of church did they attend?

It's not Jews for Jesus but it's a very similar organization who of course claims to be "the truth" and calls everyone else sinners. You have to watch out for churches like this.
