Tyka did say on her Facebook page she could not do any more memorial services.

Tyka attended two memorial services AFTER the JW service.

I believe her Facebook post was after those two. There was a service in NY in front of the Apollo. I think she did not go to the JW service because she is not a JW.

Use the serch key or do some internet searching he was seeing Mani ( Mani is in the Come On video) as early as 98 and Mayte talks about it in the book confirming the whole mistress stituation. We all commented on this board how crazy Mayte was for having lunch with M2. In the book she trashes M2 so I do not think they are going to be friends any longer.

Everything I am saying is true.

Did you read the book already?

Their are excepts out on the net. If this version is the real version and not something that is unedited people are going to flip.

I think it kinda branched off from Shelby's comments about her feeling that P knew his time was nearing an end...that brought on comments regarding Tyka's comments about the same thing...which somehow morphed into P being JW...

A circuitous route to where we ended up. Lol

YES.....

THis is

TRUTH

I dont think they are reporting what was ailing him due to some mistaken idea about protecting his Privacy...

I'm afraid it's actually interpretation.

I do agree the 3rd eye opening and the tear just after that (IIRC) was freaky as hell when he died though.

[Edited 3/9/17 21:41pm]

It's interpretation most definitely .

The tear was posthumously added, correct? It's not present in the original Twitter avatar.

Hmmm I see it also. That could have a couple of meanings...oh P.

If you are referring to the c's and u's at chest level....believe it's supposed to be chest hair.

ladygirl99 said: . No. She didn't say he said it that way. Tyka gave two opposing interviews, broadcast on the same day. Watch them. In one she said she was surprised and just starting to get over it. In the other, she said she was not surprised. . And quit being angry. . We know very little of the truth. It's silly to keep making stuff up. .

We are not making up anything.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince's Sister Tyka Nelson Says She Knew His Death Was Coming: 'I've Been Preparing for Two Years'

by Raphael Chestang 4:22 PM PDT, October 05, 2016

Prince's tragic death shocked the world earlier this year, but the musician's sister, Tyka Nelson, told ET she expected it.

"It wasn't hard at all," Nelson said about coming to grips with Prince's death. "It was a two-word phone call: 'He's gone.' And I knew who he meant. I hung up the phone. An employee of Prince called. I have been preparing for two years, so I knew that it was coming."

Five months after Prince's death, ET gained access to the music icon's Paisley Park compound in Minnesota, where we caught up with Nelson before the property opens its doors to the public as a museum.

According to Nelson, Prince hinted to her that his life was winding down.

"He said it a couple of years ago: 'I've done everything that I've come to do,'" she recalled. "I was crushed for about two years."

Nelson had a message for the millions of fans who are still having a hard time getting over the GRAMMY winner's death.

"I've had two years to deal with it, but there's a lot of people that have only had from April to now, so I guess I would say give it another year and a half and maybe you'll be where I'm at," she said. "I'm sorry that you're hurting."

While the man is no longer with us, his body of work remains, and Nelson has vowed to keep Prince's legacy alive through his music.

"He's written a massive amount of music and in one of our conversations, he said, 'How I want to be remembered is as one of the most prolific writers in the world,'" Nelson recalled. "So I'm going to do everything that I can to make that dream come true."

According to the BBC documentary, Hunting for Prince's Vault, the legendary artist could have as many as 2,000 unreleased songs locked away in a vault. Nelson intends for fans to get to hear the music.

"We're going to pull it up and we're going to remix it and we're going to get it out," she said.

When the Paisley Park museum official opens on Thursday, tourists will be able to step inside of Prince's private world, which includes artifacts from the 1984 film Purple Rain, his recording studio and his private diner.

How much plain do you want her to be? Also stop saying people are angry when you do not like what they have to say.

So he knew for 2 years and didn't leave a will? She didn't go public with any of these concerns while he was still alive? This all seems like regressive posturing to me...

Oh okay, apology accepted.

What's that expression? Oh, yeah. "Be careful what you do to others..."

But I get why he did it, and probably had to do it as he got older and unable to carry a show alone.

Just a few things.

What has been reported and stated by P himself was that they had "agreed" to annul their marriage by May of 1999. Mayte lived in Spain at the time. The marriage was over.

P did not convert to JW until sometime in 2003. I'm guessing the bonfire took place prior to his conversion.

If P could not carry a show alone, how do you explain the success and glowing reviews of P&M shows?

(I still can't figure out how to separate paragraphs on these posts!)

In the divorce filings with M2 there was a transcript of a PM between M2 and P and she asked him

if he burned her personal belongings like he did to M1 in LG backyard.

I didnt say P was under "public sanction" by the JWs. Where did that

I dont think it would do their organisation any good to Renounce Prince.

As hardcore as they are, the Lotus, the Third eye, the Mandalas, the references to re incarnation (Dolphin..he was singing it until the last ) would not have sat well..However I believe they were prepared to IGNORE all that in order to remain associated with him...

Ultimately PRINCE has more pulling power than the JW,s because the connection to GOD he shares with us , and ecourages us to seek is INCLUSIVE

I totally understand your thoughts on Inclusion....

Prince was all about "LOVE GOD"

We need to follow THAT path and all will be good in the world....

<

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we all were inclusive like the God Prince is introducing us to!!!

Not believing something happened doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
