Sometimes, 2000 miles of ocean is simply not enough.

I have a friend who's mum is very religious. She (the friend) relayed to me how her mother called Prince a "Satan worshipper" who "promotes a life of debauchery".

Could I ask what the hell MJ got to do with it?
Either way, whenever I listen to Purple Rain I feel sadness and power in the same time, if It has to do with Satan so let it be,, Gotta admit first I saw Prince & heard him thought he's a satan worshiper (He more like "looks like 'em") But then I just discovered how GREAT his music is, I believe Prince's religious thoughts ain't a big deal.

next time you should reply, “Hell, no.”

In Purple rain prince talks about armageddon (but in a metaphoric) way. His songs are very spiritual and religious too. I was talking to my brother about this song. (I am a Jehovahs witness) he told me his music was weird & that purple rain is satanic. I mean....If he's talking about jehovah and wht he was to do with this world it is all the sudden satanic? So I asked my father If it was and he said NO. I mean just because he's not singing purple rain in a kingdom hall doesn't mean it is evil. I was explaing I would die 4 u to him. I told him he was talking about the messiah Jesus christ. He began to say Micheal Jackson was better than him. I mean, I don't hate Mj in fact I'm a fan. But I don't think he is any better than prince is. Earlier today he was talking about Princes child and Mayte. He said he has ruined there lives. Which is absolutely untrue. He then proceded to tell me bout the bible. Saying he gospel and we shouldn't listen to him. BUT in the bible ot doesnt clarify what music to listen and to not. Besides I know MANY jehovah witnesses that listen to gospel. As in Mary Mary and T.D jakes so on. He kept making fun of me and Prince. He also was making fun of the stories I had weote bout the life of prostitutuion. I love Primce & always had since I was a kid. He is truly an inspiration to me and his lyrical wording is astonishing. =) He is one of the greatest artist that habe ever lived

My only comment is to the title of this thread:

Since WTF is short for "What The Fuck", as a JW, should you use that abbreviation?

If a word is "bad" (and, I don't believe ANY are), then, an abbreviation (unless used in context, which this was not) is also bad.

Just sayin'.

If you believe perturbations of the atmosphere in the form of sound waves coming out of one or more speakers have inherent moral qualities then I think you should try reading some non-fiction for a change.

Yes I know what WTF means. And yes I use the word fuck like it is going out of style. IDK what JWs you are around but I know they cuss. =) I know many people who cuss so much and they are a devote JW. Which is kinda why I was confused into why prince couldn't keep writing his songs the same.

Well, I was under the ASSUMPTION that most JW, like those I've met, and like Prince, do NOT use that word. If you do use it, that's cool, I withdraw my initial post as it was based on my incorrect assumption about you.
