Muffy is studying Jehovah and guess what? Jehovah Whitnesses do NOT Wear or Worship the Cross. Why? Jesus did not die on a Cross . He died on a Pole. The Cross comes from false and Ancient false Religions.The Cross was Not used or worshiped by the Early Christians. DEUTERONOMY 7:26, Corinthians 10:14. Ponder? I wish Prince would answer this and tell me if he still wears a cross. Question also is about eating Animal meat. Smoking,drinking,Sex outside of Marriage and well the Husband is the Head of the Family and Should Provide for the family. True Jehovahs also are NOT Into Worldly or Violent Acts. Just for the Record since Muffy is Studying and well they do Not Celebrate Birthdays ,Easter and Christmas. The give gifts and celebrate every day. It's Not a bad thing at All. I think we Just don't Know enough about the Religion so we Dismiss it.

co-...it's friday night dahling, c'mon now...

Wow, what totally earth-shattering revelations regarding Jehovah's Witnesses!! I never knew they didn't celebrate holidays or birthdays. I always thought Prince just randomly decided that Santa Claus was The Claws of Satan a couple years back.

"Just for the record," I don't think there are many people on this board who aren't aware of the basic JW doctrine that you're talking about and well what I'm wondering is do They also prefer it if you Capitalize words Randomly?

JW's eat meat.my JW friends eat meat.
my JW friends drink & party,tho sex b4 marriage is a

husband head of the family & should provide?...um...
my best friend is a JW & both is parents work. it is not soley up2 the husband/father 2 provide.

i havent seen my JW friends wear a cross of have a cross in their house,so i assume that is true about the cross thing.

also,they r pretty damn normal!
they have their meetings/studies every wednesday & sunday like normal church folk,except they dont call it church.
they door-knock one a month.
never once have my JW friends preached anything on2 me.
their families never have...
if i have a question about something they wll answer it.& we never talk about it anyway.
my best friend,his family is normal like every other.


people do need 2 lighten up & stop thinking its a weirdass cult coz it aint.
when i told my friend that people on the Prince.org site say this about Jehovah's Witnesses... he just smirked as if 2 say "yeah whatever!...get real"

& i dont care what religion Prince is...just bring the noise!

Honestly, I don't give a shit about this, but it would explain why he changed the name of The Cross to The Christ in the Rave 2000 DVD.

I always wondered about that.

Stauros.

QUESTION, ASK THEM THIS...IF YOU DIED, WOULD THEY COME TO YOUR FUNERAL IF IT WAS HELD IN A CHURCH?

Well, your friends sound like good people, but they're not exactly following the JW faith as it's spelled out. They sound like many pick-and-choose Catholics I know.

And you really should ask them if they'd come to your funeral, if you wanna see how far they're willing to deviate from JW doctrine in the interests of common decency.

i think prince now calls it the christ. watch rave un2 the year 2000. he changed it to the christ.

This has all been gone over more times than 'One Man Jam'.

they don't wear crosses because they don't believe in the trinity. Prince used to wear the cross. At least we all have our old recording of The Cross.

Jehovah's Witnesses are free to attend any service at another Church. It is a matter of personal conscience and preference.

Take it from those who know.

Peace.

The song 'The Cross' has been altered to 'The Christ' to reflect Prince's current beliefs. This version has been performed live on many occasions and is featured in full on the 'Rave IN2 the Year 2000' DVD/VHS.

Everything you stated is completely correct, apart from the animal meat, which we believe is a matter of choice.

I've never heard Prince called 'Muffy' before(Smile), but I thought your post was cool and well-researched.

If you'd like to ask any further questions please feel free to org note me.

Peace.

they follow it as they see it i guess.but i know their father is quite strict when it comes 2 swearing,drinking heavily etc...
yet he is also a really funny guy...
u can actually have fun & live a fulfilling life as a JW.
it isn't all about being tied down as most poeple assume.

As Squirrelgrease said, apparently JW believe that he didn't die on the cross, but an implement of torture called a 'Stauros'.
He gave a speech about it when he was at an awards ceremony in 98.

Alls I know.

JWS think that Jesus was tortured on the cross, so they don't wear it

In other news, apparently grass is green and the sky is blue!
